This article reviews the complexity of adaptation and symptomatology in adult survivors of childhood neglect and abuse who meet criteria for the proposed diagnosis of Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (Complex PTSD), also known as Disorders of Extreme Stress, Not Otherwise Specified (DESNOS). A specific EMDR protocol, Resource Development and Installation (RDI), is proposed as an effective ...

Reference-star differential imaging (RDI) is a promising technique in high-contrast that thought to be more sensitive exoplanets and disks than angular (ADI) at short separations (i.e., <0.3"). However, it unknown whether the performance of RDI on ground-based instruments can improved by using all archival data optimize subtraction stellar contributions. We characterize SPHERE/IRDIS direct disk...

Abstract The deficient agricultural water caused by shortage is a crucial limiting factor of horticultural production. Among many water-saving technologies, regulated deficit irrigation (RDI) has been proven to be one the effective technologies improve use efficiency and reduce waste on premise maintaining quality products. RDI was first reported more than 40 years ago, although it applied in s...

BACKGROUND Parenteral nutrition is central to the care of very immature infants. Current international recommendations favor higher amino acid intakes and fish oil-containing lipid emulsions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this trial was to compare 1) the effects of high [immediate recommended daily intake (Imm-RDI)] and low [incremental introduction of amino acids (Inc-AAs)] parenteral amino acid deli...

Our study [1] had two main purposes: first, to examine the occurrence of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and then to exclude patients with this confound in order to evaluate the structure of sleep in a group of patients with " pure " CFS to look for relations with the symptoms of fatigue and sleepiness. In order to do this, we had to define an u...

The first line of treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS) in children consists of adenotonsillectomy (T&A). The aim of the present study was to evaluate treatment outcomes of OSAS among obese children recruited from the community.A cross-sectional, prospective, multicentre study of Spanish obese children aged 3-14 years, with four groups available for follow-up: group 1: non-OSAS ...
