Objective: Framed in the patients' engagement perspective, the current study aims to determine the effects of group music therapy in addition to drug care in comparison with drug care in addition to other non-expressive group activities in the treatment of psychiatric outpatients. Method: Participants (n = 27) with ICD-10 diagnoses of F20 (schizophrenia), F25 (schizoaffective disorders), F31 (b...

Objectives The purpose this study was to identify linguistic features texts written by people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders and relationship between them personality traits indicators standard living patients. Methods Twenty-nine patients (F20, F21, F23, F25 according ICD-10) 37 ...

Streptomyces are the most popular among Actinomycetes groups and found in soils worldwide. They form an important part of soil ecology within Actinomycetales order. diverse as secondary antibiotic metabolites such Novobiocin, Amphotericin, Vancomycin, Neomycin, Gentamicin, Chloramphenicol, Tetracycline, Erythromycin Nystatin. Thus, current study was aimed to isolate, identify assess active prod...

The gravity map of Ouaddai in the eastern region Chad exhibits important anomalies that are often delimitated by high gradients, resulting from density contrasts between various anomaly sources. This presumes an tectonic activity zone. Because its arid and desert nature, is water-poor or even lacking water resources. main source made very deep aquifers. analysis this study helps to better under...

Four genome-wide association studies, all in populations of European descent, have identified 20 independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 20 regions that are associated with prostate cancer risk. We evaluated these 20 SNPs in a combined African American (AA) study, with 868 prostate cancer patients and 878 control subjects. For 17 of these 20 SNPs, implicated risk-associated alleles...

Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) of the ovary appear spontaneously at 4-6 weeks of age in SWR/J and in SWR/Bm inbred strain mice, with a maximum incidence reached by 10 weeks. Cancer was confirmed by metastasis to abdominal organs and by transplantability of primary tumors to histocompatible hosts. Results of genetic crosses showed that GCT appear in SWR X SJL F1 but not in SJL X SWR F1 nor in other...

Granulosa cell tumors (GCT) of the ovary appear sponta neously at 4-6 weeks of age in SWR/J and in SWR/Bm inbred strain mice, with a maximum incidence reached by 10 weeks. Cancer was confirmed by metastasis to abdominal organs and by transplantability of primary tumors to histocompatible hosts. Results of genetic crosses snowed that GCT appear in SWR x SJL F, but not in SJL x SWR F, nor in othe...

Aggressiveness is a frequent and problematic aspect of the treatment of forensic patients. This study examines the correlation of aggressiveness and its subtypes with quality of life enjoyment and satisfaction, personality dimensions and family functioning. The research is conducted on 99 psychiatric patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or psychotic disorder similar to schizophrenia (F20-F29) ...

BACKGROUND Patients with schizophrenia have a high risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). High aerobic intensity training (HIT) improve peak oxygen uptake (VO(2peak)), net mechanical efficiency of walking and risk factors for CVD but has not been investigated in patients with schizophrenia. AIMS To investigate effects from HIT on VO(2peak), net mechanical efficiency of walking and risk factors...

OBJECTIVE The study aimed to identify patient characteristics associated with differences in outcomes of acute treatment in day hospitals and conventional hospital wards. METHODS Data were from the European Day Hospital Evaluation (EDEN) (2000-2003), a multicenter randomized controlled trial comparing acute treatment in day hospitals and conventional wards in five European countries. All 880 ...
