Introduction Conversive disorder is characterised by the presence of one or more involuntary neurological symptoms that are not due to a clear medical pathology. On other hand, consciously simulated illnesses fall into two diagnostic categories: factitious disorders and malingering, which differentiated both motivation for behaviour awareness motivation. Factitious behaviours motivated an uncon...

PURPOSE The aim of this study is to describe similarities and differences in epidemiological, psychiatric and semiologic variables between patients with psychogenic none epileptic seizures (PNES) and comorbid epilepsy (mixed PNES), and patients with PNES without comorbid epilepsy (pure PNES). RESULTS Forty-three patients with PNES diagnosed by Video-EEG were included. Twenty-four had pure PNE...

Introduction In this research the Paris School (I.P.S.O.), by P. Marty, is chosen as theoretical and clinical basis of Psychosomatics. We work with degree mentalization (good, bad uncertain) -obtained through Marty’s Psychosomatic Classification-, a previous diagnosis prognosis 120 infertile women undergoing treatment at Assisted Reproduction Unit (ARU) Hospital Universitario 12 de Octubre in M...

This paper presents further research on an implemented classification and verification system that employs a novel approach for stochastically modelling movement trajectories. The models are based on Conversive Hidden non-Markovian Models that are especially suited to mimic temporal dynamics of time series as in contrast to the relative Hidden Markov Models(HMM) and the dynamic time warping(DTW...

We applied the methodology of evoked potentials (EP) to reveal the functional level of abnormality in a patient with circumscribed complete anaesthesia due to conversion disorder. EP components related to sensory and perceptual processing of both innocuous electrical and noxious laser stimuli were normal. However, a P300 component indicating cognitive processing failed to appear when using a mo...

BACKGROUND Cardiac arrests in hospital areas are common, and hospitals have rapid response teams or "blue code teams" to reduce preventable in-hospital deaths. Education about the rapid response team has been provided in all hospitals in Turkey, but true "blue code" activation is rare, and it is abused by medical personnel in practice. This study aimed to determine the cases of wrong blue codes...

Hidden non-Markovian Models (HnMMs) were introduced and formalized as an extension of Hidden Markov Models for the analysis of partially observable stochastic processes. Their main advantage over HMM is the possibility to model arbitrary distributions for state transition duration, so that the unobservable stochastic process needs not to be Markovian. Besides academic examples, HnMMs were appli...
