ABSTRACT

Immunoglobulin heavy chain amyloidosis (AH amyloidosis) is an extremely rare subtype of immunoglobulin-derived amyloidosis and there is limited literature on how to diagnose and manage this disorder. We describe a rare case of AH amyloidosis with amyloid goitre and the importance of mass spectrometry in the identification of the different types of amyloids. While additional studies are needed, several observations suggest important practical implications, including differences in clinical picture, prognosis, and pathologic diagnosis. LEARNING POINTS: Immunoglobulin heavy chain amyloidosis is an extremely rare subtype of immunoglobulin-derived amyloidosis and amyloid goitre is even rarer.There is limited literature on how to diagnose and manage this disorder.This case portrays one of these cases - one of the few existing in the literature - and reinforces the diagnostic complexity of this entity.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to quantify observer agreement in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) classification of inflammatory or fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). METHODS: Our study is a preliminary analysis of a larger prospective cohort. The MRI images of 18 patients with ILD (13 females; mean age, 65 years) were acquired in a 1.5 T scanner and included axial fat-saturated T2-weighted (T2-WI, n = 18) and coronal fat-saturated T1-weighted images before and 1, 3, 5, and 10 minutes after gadolinium administration (n = 16). The MRI studies were evaluated with 2 different methods: a qualitative evaluation (visual assessment and measurement of few regions of interest; evaluations were performed independently by 5 radiologists and 3 times by 1 radiologist) and a segmentation-based analysis with software extraction of signal intensity values (evaluations were performed independently by 2 radiologists and twice by 1 radiologist). Interstitial lung disease was classified as inflammatory or fibrotic, based on previously described imaging criteria. RESULTS: Regarding the qualitative evaluation, intraobserver agreement was excellent (κ = 0.92, P < 0.05) for T2-WI and fair (κ = 0.29, P < 0.05) for T1 dynamic study, while interobserver agreement was moderate (κ = 0.56, P < 0.05) and poor (κ = 0.11, P = 0.18), respectively. In contrast, upon segmentation-based analysis, intraobserver and interobserver agreement were excellent for T2-WI (κ = 0.886, P < 0.001; κ = 1.00, P < 0.001; respectively); for T1-WI, intraobserver agreement was excellent (κ = 0.87, P < 0.05) and interobserver agreement was good (κ = 0.75, P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Segmentation-based MRI analysis is more reproducible than a qualitative evaluation with visual assessment and measurement of few regions of interest.

ABSTRACT

PURPOSE: Correlate magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) parameters at baseline with disease progression in nonidiopathic pulmonary fibrosis interstitial lung disease (ILD). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Prospective observational cohort study, in which patients with non-idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis ILD underwent MRI at baseline (1.5 T). T2-weighted images (T2-WI) were acquired by axial free-breathing respiratory-gated fat-suppressed "periodically rotated overlapping parallel lines with enhanced reconstruction" and T1-weighted images (T1-WI) by coronal end-expiratory breath-hold fat-suppressed "volumetric interpolated breath-hold examination" sequences, before and at time points T1, T3, T5, and T10 minutes after gadolinium administration. After MRI segmentation, signal intensity values were extracted by dedicated software. Percentage of the ILD volume and a ratio between signal intensity of ILD (SIILD) and normal lung (SInormal lung) were calculated for T2-WI; percentage of signal intensity (%SI) at each time point, time to peak enhancement, and percent relative enhancement of ILD in comparison with normal lung (%SIILD/normal lung) were calculated for T1-WI. MRI parameters at baseline were correlated with diagnosis of disease progression and variation in percent predicted forced vital capacity (%FVC) and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide after 12 months. RESULTS: Comprehensive MRI evaluation (T2-WI and T1-WI) was performed in 21 of the 25 patients enrolled (68% females; mean age: 62.6 y). Three of the 24 patients who completed follow-up fulfilled criteria for disease progression. Baseline T2-WI SIILD/SInormal lung was higher for the progression group (P = 0.052). T2-WI SIILD/SInormal lung and T1-WI %SIILD/normal lung at T1 were positively correlated with the 12-month variation in %FVC (r = 0.495, P = 0.014 and r = 0.489, P= 0.034, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Baseline MRI parameters correlate with %FVC decline after 12 months.

ABSTRACT

O presente estudo teve como objetivo analisar a relação entre a cibervitimização (Cybervictimization Question-naire, cyvic) e a satisfação com o suporte social (Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social, esss). A amostra foi constituída por 346 participantes divididos em dois grupos: adolescentes (15-19 anos) e jovens adultos (20-30 anos). Verificaram-se associações negativas entre a satisfação com o suporte social e a cibervitimização. Os resultados sugerem diferenças a nível de idade para as duas variáveis dependentes, com os adolescentes apresentando maior satisfação com a família do que os jovens adultos, e estes últimos uma maior satisfação com as atividades sociais do que os adolescentes, e, finalmente, os participantes mais novos estão mais en-volvidos na cibervitimização do que os mais velhos. Por fim, observou-se um papel preditor da satisfação com as atividades sociais sobre a cibervitimização. Assim, este estudo contribui para colmatar a escassa literatura existente em Portugal acerca da relação entre o ciber-bullying e o suporte social, salientando a importância das relações sociais e, especialmente, do envolvimento em atividades de caráter social, mostrando uma clara necessidade de integrar os jovens na comunidade e na sociedade, dandolhes a oportunidade de se envolverem em atividades e relações satisfatórias como forma de prevenção de comportamentos desajustados como é o caso do ciberbullying.


The present study aimed to analyse the relationship between cybervictimization (measured trough the Cy-bervictimization Questionnaire, cyvic) and satisfac-tion with social support (Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social, esss). The sample consisted of 346 participants divided into two groups: adolescents (15-19 years) and young adults (20-30years). There were negative associations between satisfaction with social support and cybervictimization. The results also sug-gest differences in terms of age for the two dependent variables, with adolescents showing greater satisfac-tion with the family than young adults and these being more satisfied with social activities than adolescents, and the younger participants being more involved in cybervictimization than the older ones. Finally, there was a predictive role of satisfaction with social activi-ties on cybervictimization. Thus, this study contributes to the little Brazilian literature about the relationship between cyberbullying and social support, highlighting the importance of social relationships and, especially, involvement in social activities; there is a clear need to integrate young people into the community and society and give them the opportunity to engage in satisfacto-ry activities and relationships as a way of preventing maladjusted behaviour, such as cyberbullying


El presente estudio tuvo como objetivo analizar la relación entre la cibervictimización (Cuestionario de Ciber-victimización, cyvic) y la satisfacción con el apoyo social (Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social, esss). La muestra estuvo compuesta por 346 participantes divididos en dos grupos: adolescentes (15-19 años) y adultos jóvenes (20-30 años). Se encontraron asociaciones negativas entre la satisfacción con el apoyo social y la cibervictimización. Los resultados sugieren diferencias de edad para las dos variables dependientes, mostrando que los adolescentes tienen una mayor satisfactión con su familia que los adultos jóvenes, y estos últimos, muestran una mayor satisfacción con las actividades sociales que los adolescentes, para terminar, los participantes más jóvenes se involucran más en la cibervictimización que los mayores. Finalmente, se observó un papel predictor de la satisfacción con las actividades sociales sobre la cibervictimización. Así, este estudio contribuye a llenar la escasa literatura que existe en Portugal sobre la relación entre ciberacoso y apoyo social, enfatizando la importancia de las relaciones sociales, mostrando una clara necesidad de integrar a los jóvenes en la comunidad y la sociedad, brindándoles la oportunidad de participar en actividades y relaciones satisfactorias como una forma de prevenir comportamientos desadaptativos como el ciberacoso.

ABSTRACT

O ciberbullying constitui uma realidade cada vez mais presente na vida dos mais jovens e desprotegidos, o que pode perturbar o seu desenvolvimento e bemestar. O presente estudo tem como objetivo explorar a associação entre o ciberbullying, a ideação suicida e a comunicação parentofilial nos adolescentes e jovens adultos. O estudo foi feito com uma amostra de 401 adolescentes e jovens adultos, com idades compreendidas entre os 15 e os 24 anos. Recorreu-se ao Questionário de Cibervitimização (cyvic), ao Questionário de Ideação Suicida (qis) e à Escala de Avaliação da Comunicação na Parentalidade (compa) para coleta dos dados. No que se refere à idade foram encontradas diferenças significati-vas relativamente à cibervitimização. Quanto ao número de horas de utilização da Internet foram encontradas diferenças em relação à cibervitimização, à ideação suicida e à comunicação parental da figura materna nomeadamente nas subescalas confiança/partilha e metacomunicação. Foram encontradas associações entre a cibervitimização, ideação suicida e a comunicação parental do pai e da mãe. Por fim, observou-se que a ideação suicida prediz a cibervitimização, enquanto a disponibilidade da mãe prediz a cibervitimização. É urgente que este problema de saúde seja multidisciplinarmente identificado e combatido ao mesmo ritmo com que a tecnologia se entrosa e é preponderante na vida das gerações mais novas.


El ciberacoso es una realidad cada vez más presente en la vida de personas jóvenes y desprotegidas, que puede trastornar su desarrollo y bienestar. El presente estudio tiene como objetivo explorar la asociación entre el ciberacoso, la ideación suicida y la comunicación padres-hijos en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes. El estudio se realizó con una muestra de 401 adolescentes y adultos jóvenes, con edades comprendidas entre los 15 y 24 años. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó el Cuestionario de Victimización Cibernética (cyvic), el Cuestionario de Ideación Suicida (qis) y la Escala de Evaluación de la Comunicación Parental (compa). En cuanto a la edad, se encontraron diferencias significativas en la cibervictimización. Respecto al número de horas de uso de Internet, se encontraron diferencias en relación con cibervictimización, ideación suicida y comunicación parental de la figura materna, concretamente en las subescalas confianza/compartir y metacomunicación. Se hallaron asociaciones entre cibervictimización, ideación suicida y comunicación parental de padre y madre. Finalmente, se observó que la ideación suicida predice cibervictimización, a la vez que la disponibilidad materna predice ciber-victimización. Es urgente que este problema de salud sea identificado y combatido de forma multidisciplinar, al mismo ritmo que la tecnología se entrelaza y es preponderante en la vida de las generaciones más jóvenes.


Cyberbullying is a reality that is increasingly present in the lives of young and unprotected people, which can disturb their development and wellbeing. This study aimed to explore the association between cyberbullying, suicidal ideation and parent-child communication in adolescents and young adults. The study was carried out with a sample of 401 adolescents and young adults aged between 15 and 24 years. Data were collected through the Cybervictimization Questionnaire (cyvic), the Suicidal Ideation Questionnaire (qis) and the Parent-ing Communication Assessment Scale (compa-a). Considering age, significant differences were found related to cyber-victimization. Regarding the number of hours of Internet use, differences were found associated with cybervictimization, suicidal ideation and parental communication of the mother figure, namely in the trust/sharing and meta-communication subscales. Associations were found between cybervictimization, suicidal ideation and parental communication from the father and mother. Finally, it was observed that suicidal ideation and mother availability predict cybervictimization. It is urgent that this health problem be identified and fought in a multidisciplinary way at the same pace with which technology intertwines and is preponderant in the lives of the younger generations

ABSTRACT

Resumo O presente estudo teve como objetivo principal explorar de que forma variáveis do funcionamento familiar se relacionam com a dependência da internet. A amostra final foi constituída por 568 participantes, com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e 18 anos, que frequentam o Ensino Secundário, num distrito da região Norte de Portugal. Foi usado um Questionário Sociodemográfico, o Internet Addiction Test (IAT) e o Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15). Verificou-se que 73.1% dos participantes apresentaram dependência leve a moderada, mas não foram encontradas diferenças na dependência da internet entre o sexo masculino e o feminino. Por outro lado, verificaram-se diferenças a nível de funcionamento familiar, sendo que o sexo masculino apresentou, ligeiramente, mais dificuldades na comunicação na família e dificuldades familiares. Observaram-se diferenças entre os grupos em estudo (utilizadores normais, utilizadores com dependência leve e utilizadores com dependência moderada) em todas as dimensões do funcionamento familiar. Para além disso, foi possível observar associações positivas entre as dimensões do funcionamento familiar e a dependência da internet. Por fim, verificou-se que a comunicação na família foi a única variável do funcionamento familiar que apresentou um papel preditor na dependência da internet. Portanto, as dificuldades no funcionamento familiar, sobretudo na comunicação na família, parecem apresentar um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento da dependência da internet, sendo que se considera importante o desenvolvimento de ações preventivas, com vista a promoção do funcionamento familiar saudável, assim como do uso saudável da internet.


Abstract This study aimed at exploring how family functioning variables are related to internet addiction. The final sample consisted of 568 participants, aged between 14 and 18, who attend Secondary Education, in a district in the North Region of Portugal. A Sociodemographic Questionnaire, the Internet Addiction Test (IAT) and the Systemic Clinical Outcome Routine Evaluation (SCORE-15) were used. It was found that 73.1% of the participants had mild to moderate addiction, but there were no differences in internet addiction between male and female. On the other hand, differences in terms of family functioning have been verified, with male presenting slightly more difficulties in communicating in the family and more family difficulties. Differences were observed between the study groups (normal users, users with mild dependence and users with moderate dependence) in all dimensions of family functioning. In addition, it was possible to observe positive associations between the dimensions of family functioning and internet addiction. Finally, it was found that communication in the family was the only variable of family functioning that had a predictive role in internet addiction. Therefore, difficulties in family functioning, especially in communication among the members, seem to play a fundamental role in the development of internet addiction, and it is crucial to develop preventive actions, to promote healthy family functioning, as well as healthy internet use.

Se encontró que el 73.1% de los participantes tenían una adicción leve a moderada, pero no hubo diferencias en la adicción a internet entre sexo masculino y femenino. Por otro lado, hubo diferencias en el funcionamiento familiar, ya que el género masculino tuvo un poco más de dificultades para comunicarse en la familia y más dificultades familiares. Se observaron diferencias entre los grupos de estudio (usuarios normales, usuarios con adicción leve y usuarios con adicción moderada) en todas las dimensiones del funcionamiento familiar. Además, fue posible observar asociaciones positivas entre las dimensiones del funcionamiento familiar y la adicción a internet. Finalmente, se descubrió que la comunicación en la familia era la única variable en el funcionamiento familiar que tenía un papel predictivo en la adicción a internet. Por lo tanto, las dificultades en el funcionamiento familiar, especialmente en la comunicación en la familia, parecen desempeñar un papel fundamental en el desarrollo de la adicción a internet, y se considera importante desarrollar acciones preventivas, con miras a promover un funcionamiento familiar saludable, así como el uso de internet saludable.

ABSTRACT

Sibling violence appears to affect the psychological well-being of adolescents, making them susceptible to the development of psychopathological symptomatology. In a sample of 463 Portuguese adolescents with siblings, we intended to ascertain to what extent psychopathological symptomatology varies depending on age and gender; and to analyze whether the tactics of conflict resolution exert a predictor effect on psychopathological symptomatology. The results of the current study showed that females and older adolescents (17-20 years old) seem to be the most vulnerable to psychopathological symptomatology development. We also found that the perpetration of psychological aggression is the only type of violence that positively predicts the evaluated psychopathological symptomatology. Therefore, high rates of sibling violence can be an alert to psychopathological problems that might ensue. Psychological aggression can lead to mental health problems for siblings, so it would be important to implement prevention and intervention programs in this area.

ABSTRACT

Connective tissue diseases (CTDs) comprise several immunologic systemic disorders, each of which associated with a particular set of clinical manifestations and autoimmune profile. CTDs may cause numerous thoracic abnormalities, which vary in frequency and pattern according to the underlying disorder. The CTDs that most commonly involve the respiratory system are progressive systemic sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren syndrome, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, and mixed connective tissue disease. Pulmonary abnormalities in this group of patients may result from CTD-related lung disease or treatment complications, namely drug toxicity and opportunistic infections. The most important thoracic manifestations of CTDs are interstitial lung disease and pulmonary arterial hypertension, with nonspecific interstitial pneumonia being the most common pattern of interstitial lung disease. High-resolution computed tomography is a valuable tool in the initial evaluation and follow-up of patients with CTDs. As such, general knowledge of the most common high-resolution computed tomographic features of CTD-related lung disease allows the radiologist to contribute to better patient management.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo pretende avaliar a percepção das vítimas relativamente a comportamentos de cariz físico, sexual e psicológico, perpetrados por irmãos. Faz parte de uma investigação mais vasta na qual foram avaliados os diferentes tipos de violência e a sua frequência no início da adolescência. Neste estudo, os participantes classificaram os abusos sofridos com recurso ao Self-Labelling of Personally Experienced Violence. Os resultados indicam que os jovens que sofreram todos os tipos de vitimizações (físicas, psicológicas e sexuais) atribuíram os incidentes à "rivalidade entre irmãos", de modo significativo, quando comparados com os jovens que só sofreram um ou dois tipos de vitimização (psicológicas, físicas, psicológicas + físicas ou psicológicas + sexuais). Os resultados são discutidos segundo perspectivas de 'normalização de agressões', as quais explicam a manutenção de comportamentos abusivos contra irmãos.(AU)


This study aimed to investigate the perception of victims of sibling violence (physical, sexual and psychological). It is part of a larger investigation that analyzed the different types of violence and its frequency in early adolescence. In the present study, the participants classified the mistreatments they suffered on the Self-Labelling of Personally Experienced Violence. In the explanation of the occurrences, youngsters enduring all types of sibling victimization (physical, sexual and psychological) attributed "sibling rivalry" significantly more importance than their colleagues who were victims of only one or two violence type(s) (physical, psychological, or psychological + physical + or psychological + sexual). The results are discussed according to 'normalization of aggression' perspectives that help to understand the maintenance of abusive behavior towards siblings.(AU)

ABSTRACT

A violência entre irmãos é uma das formas mais comuns de violência familiar. Este estudo pretendeu caracterizar este problema em Portugal, numa amostra de 588 estudantes universitários. Os diferentes tipos de violência (física, psicológica e sexual) foram avaliados com as "Revised Conflict Tactics Scales - Sibling Version". Procedeu-se a análises descritivas exploratórias das distribuições das principais variáveis, recorreu-se ao teste do χ2 e a análises de covariância múltipla. Os resultados indicaram que a violência entre irmãos é muito frequente no início da adolescência; os rapazes perpetraram significativamente mais atos de violência física (p <0,001) e sexual (p <0,05) do que as raparigas, mas foram também, física (p <0,001) e sexualmente (p <0,05), mais vitimizados. Também as díades masculinas apresentaram níveis de violência física e sexual significativamente superiores aos de todas as outras díades, indicando claramente a reciprocidade do fenómeno. Os resultados foram discutidos segundo perspetivas de 'normalização de agressões' (dissonância cognitiva; Hardy, Beers, Burguess, & Taylor, 2010) e do 'ciclo de violência', as quais explicam a manutenção de comportamentos abusivos entre irmãos e a sua possível transferência para outras relações.


Sibling violence is one of the most common forms of family violence. This study aimed to characterize this issue in Portugal, among a sample of 588 undergraduates. The different types of victimization (physical, psychological and sexual) were assessed through the "Revised Conflict Tactics Scale - Sibling Version". Descriptive exploratory analyses of the main variables, χ2 test, and multiple analyses of covariance were conducted. The results indicated that sibling violence is more frequent during early adolescence; boys committed significantly more physical (p <.001) and sexual (p <.05) violent acts than girls, but they were also significantly more victimized than girls, both physically (p <.001) and sexually (p <.05). Also, the male dyads showed significantly higher levels of physical and sexual violence than all other dyads, indicating clearly the reciprocal phenomenon. The results are discussed according to 'normalization of aggression' and 'cycle of violence' perspectives, which both help to understand the perpetration of abusive behaviors among siblings, as well as their occasional transfer to other relationships.

ABSTRACT

Este estudo procurou investigar a forma como a presença ou a ausência de irmãos influencia a personalidade. O lugar que cada um ocupa na família proporciona experiências diversificadas; alguns aspectos da personalidade, conseqüentemente, podem ser distintos consoante a posição fraternal do sujeito considerado. A amostra foi constituída por 1.142 estudantes universitários, 874 do sexo feminino e 268 do masculino. As análises estatísticas realizadas demonstraram a existência de diferenças de personalidade entre os sujeitos que ocupam uma das quatro principais posições fraternais: únicos, mais velhos, mais novos e do meio. Nomeadamente, nas facetas da rectidão, altruísmo e complacência (do domínio da Amabilidade), obediência ao dever e deliberação (do domínio da Conscienciosidade) e hostilidade (do domínio do Neuroticismo). Os resultados foram discutidos à luz das teorias dos principais estudiosos da fratria, concretamente, Adler, Toman e Sulloway.(AU)


This study addresses the presence or absence of siblings influence on the personality. The position occupied in the family provides diversified experiences - consequently, some aspects of the personality are also different and individual. This sample includes 1142 university students: 874 females and 268 males. The statistical analysis indicated the existence of personality differences among the subjects that occupy the main sibling positions: the only, the oldest, the youngest and the middle. These were the facets of detachment: straightforwardness, altruism and compliance (in the domain of Agreeableness), dutifulness and deliberation (in the domain of Conscientiousness) and angry hostility (in the domain of Neuroticism). The results were discussed through Adler, Toman and Sulloway's siblings theories.(AU)
