BACKGROUND Both emotion regulation and impulsivity are core aspects of borderline personality disorder (BPD) pathology. Although both problems may be combined specifically in BPD, few studies to date have investigated the emotional modulation of impulsivity in BPD. METHODS Women with BPD and matched healthy controls performed go/no-go tasks after induction of anger, joy or a neutral mood by v...

Previous studies on borderline personality disorder (BPD) development suggest a transgenerational transmission of parent-child relationship quality, which may also be influenced by parents' mental health status. The aim of this study was twofold. First, we aimed to investigate the transgenerational effect of parental bonding experiences on the development of BPD in their offspring. Second, we e...

PURPOSE Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by inflammation with proteolytic damage to the lung extracellular matrix. The results from previous studies are inconsistent regarding the role of proteinases and antiproteinases in the development of BPD. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-8, MMP-9, tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinas...

RATIONALE FOR THE STUDY B type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a hormone released in response to stretching of the ventricular wall. The role of BNP as a biomarker of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has not been clarified. OBJECTIVE To determine if plasma BNP concentrations correlate with the severity of BPD. METHODS This prospective observational case control study included 60 preterm infant...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia remains a leading cause of maternal mortality and preterm delivery. Both preeclampsia and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) of prematurity are associated with impaired angiogenesis. However, the relationship between maternal preeclampsia and BPD remains controversial. This study aims to test whether or not preeclampsia is associated with development of BPD in a cohort of ...

More infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) now survive to adulthood, but little is known regarding persisting respiratory impairment. We report respiratory symptoms, lung function and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in adult BPD survivors compared with preterm (non-BPD) and full-term controls. Respiratory symptoms (European Community Respiratory Health Survey) and HRQoL (EuroQol ...

Since the 2001 publication of APA’s Practice Guideline for the Treatment of Patients With Borderline Personality Disorder (1), more studies have been published on borderline personality disorder (BPD) than on any other personality disorder (2, 3). New analyses of the validity of the DSMIV-TR criteria–defined construct of BPD have been published, new data on the prevalence of BPD are available, ...

Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is a widespread mental linked to functional impairment and high suicide rate. Adolescent BPD now recognized as reliable valid diagnosis in psychiatric classification systems national treatment guidelines. Family issues, such parental underinvolvement or neglect, may affect the mentalization process attachment styles. Thus, family crucial understanding etiol...

BACKGROUND Impulsivity is a core feature of borderline personality disorder (BPD) and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). In BPD, impulsive behavior primarily occurs under acute stress; impulse control deficits under non-stress conditions may be partly related to co-morbid ADHD. We aimed to investigate whether acute experimental stress has an impact on self-reported impulsivity, re...
