PERSPECTIVES OF NURSES REGARDING A PERINATAL MENTAL HEALTH NURSING COUNSELLING ...

Background: Perinatal mental health is an area that deserves more attention of mental health, and the disorders that arise at this stage are not valued. Mental health nursing focuses on promoting, preventing, diagnosing and intervening in the face of maladjusted or maladaptive processes of transition to parenthood. Counselling is a psychotherapeutic nursing intervention, making it pertinent to structure a couns...

Extending the phenotypic spectrum assessed by the CDR plus NACC FTLD in genetic...

INTRODUCTION: We aimed to expand the range of the frontotemporal dementia (FTD) phenotypes assessed by the Clinical Dementia Rating Dementia Staging Instrument plus National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center Behavior and Language Domains (CDR plus NACC FTLD). METHODS: Neuropsychiatric and motor domains were added to the standard CDR plus NACC FTLD generating a new CDR plus NACC FTLD-NM scale. This was assessed in...

Neurodevelopmental effects of genetic frontotemporal dementia in young adult mu...

While frontotemporal dementia has been considered a neurodegenerative disease that starts in mid-life or later, it is now clearly established that cortical and subcortical volume loss is observed more than a decade prior to symptom onset and progresses with ageing. To test the hypothesis that genetic mutations causing frontotemporal dementia have neurodevelopmental consequences, we examined the youngest adults ...

Language impairment in the genetic forms of behavioural variant frontotemporal ...

Background: Behavioural variant fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterised by a progressive change in personality in association with atrophy of the frontal and temporal lobes. Whilst language impairment has been described in people with bvFTD, little is currently known about the extent or type of linguistic difficulties that occur, particularly in the genetic forms. Methods: Participants with genetic bv...

Anomia is present pre-symptomatically in frontotemporal dementia due to MAPT mu...

Introduction: A third of frontotemporal dementia (FTD) is caused by an autosomal-dominant genetic mutation in one of three genes: microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT), chromosome 9 open reading frame 72 (C9orf72) and progranulin (GRN). Prior studies of prodromal FTD have identified impaired executive function and social cognition early in the disease but few have studied naming in detail. Methods: We inves...

Objetivo: Pretendemos, com este estudo, descreve...

CUTANEOUS LEISHMANIASIS AND PANCYTOPENIA AS INITIAL PRESENTATION OF HIV INFECTION

Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by Leishmania species. Cutaneous leishmaniasis presents as papules that evolve to nodules/plaques that may ulcerate. The diagnosis is mainly clinical and may be confirmed by cutaneous biopsy. In HIV patients, Leishmania co-infection can lead more easily to visceral leishmaniasis and atypical cutaneous lesions. We describe a case of a patient with cutaneous leishmani...
