Depression has a bidirectional relationship with cardiovascular disease, and it is observed in HIV-positive individuals, in cancer patients and it often complicates chronic pain. In order to assess dimensionally depressive and anxious symptoms and pain in medical inpatients, 327 non-psychiatric inpatients were assessed using the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Visual Analogical Scale (for pain, VAS). Inpatients were hospitalized for neurovascular disease, chronic medical illness, cancer, infectious disease, cardiovascular illness, orthopaedic surgery and general surgery. Very high anxiety levels were discovered in cardiovascular, general surgery, infectious and neurovascular patients, whereas depression levels were higher among cardiovascular and chronic patients. The highest levels of pain were found among patients admitted to the Oncology Unit and those suffering from chro...

The results showed that the distance representation conveyed by a spatial term has almost the same characteristics as does visual distance perception. This suggests that when we understand spatial terms, we measure distance between objects by means of certain representational units that are derived from a spatial term in the same way we recognize distance visually.

In tale contesto la flessibilità cognitiva assume un ruolo fondamentale per i numerosi benefici che produce negli an-ziani. In questa prospettiva è stato condotto uno studio per verificare l'efficacia del training "Flexi-train - Programma di potenziamento della flessibilità cognitiva nell'invecchiamento", rivolto ad anziani sani, confrontando un gruppo sperimentale sottoposto all'intervento di potenziamento con un gruppo di controllo. I risultati mostrano che nel post-test i soggetti del gruppo sperimentale hanno ottenuto punteggi maggiori di flessibilità cognitiva rispetto al gruppo di controllo. Inoltre emerge una maggiore capacità riflessiva e una consapevolezza critica più eleva-ta nel primo gruppo rispetto al secondo. Il training appare essere uno strumento adegu...
