The aim of this paper is to identify these practices in Spanish pediatrics journals. We reviewed the author's instructions in 13 Spanish pediatrics journals, identifying their open access and deposit policy. Eight journals allow open access without restriction, and 5 provide information on the ability to re-use and depositing data in repositories or websites. Most of the journals have open access, but do not promote the deposit of additional material or articles in repositories or websites.

An adaptation of the rapid assessment methodology RARE was carried out through the combination of quantitative (rapid assessment surveys, n=444) and qualitative (observations and semistructured interviews, n=8) techniques. The fieldwork was carried out at 13 restaurants in Valencia and Alicante (Spain) in December 2007. In general we observed a marked increase in the use of alcohol and other substances compared to the rest of the year, though restaurant staff perceived a decrease in alcohol abuse attributable to new road traffic legislation. Cocaine is perceived as the illicit substance most widely used at such events. Younger coworkers initiate older ones in the use of illicit drugs, and the the latter may use this behaviour as a means of feeling younger and more uninhibited. Christmas work dinners propitiate a ...

A survey was conducted which included items on previous requested treatment in other centres and on barriers of accessibility to treatment in specific ambulatory centres. A descriptive analysis and t-student and ANOVA with Scheffé post-hoc tests were carried out. 59.7% of respondents said they had requested previous treatment in non-specific resources due to physical or psychical trouble that they now relate to their alcohol use although they did not do so at the time, in addition to being motivated by their own alcohol abuse (42.8%). The most attended resources were Primary Care and Specialist Unit Care. Women showed a higher demand for treatment in Mental Health Services (p < 0,05). The most important t...

Participants are a representative sample of 10,520 young people between 14 and 18 years: 46.5% male. Was given a school survey in March and June 2006. The logistic regression is applied and the statistical program SPSS 15.0 is used.ResultsA total of 43.7% of youth responded that their mother consumes at present some substance, and 51.4% answer that the father consumes. The substances most consumed by the mother are tobacco (30.9%) and alcohol (25%) and by the fathers alcohol (35.5%), and tobacco (33.9%). Youth who reported that his mother uses tobacco are more likely to smoke (OR = 1.32; p < .005), and if the mother uses a substance are more likely to use designer drugs (OR = 2.44; p < .05). Also, are more likely of consuming tobacco if the father smokes (OR = 1.34; p < .005), and to drink alcohol if the father drinks (OR = 1.53; p < .05).Conclusions Gender of the parent is a mediator variable in the association between current use of substances by the parent and current consumption of the young. The study provides empirical evidence on the etiology of the consumption of licit and illicit substances in young population from Spain.

The main objective of this study was to assess the predictive ability of two well-known paradigms of the novelty-seeking trait - novelty-induced locomotor activity (which distinguishes High- and Low-Responder mice, depending on their motor activity) and the hole-board test (which determines High- and Low-Novelty Seeker mice depending on the number of head dips they perform) - to identify subjects that would subsequently be more sensitive to the conditioned rewarding effects of cocaine in a population of young adult (PND 56) and adolescent (PND 35) OF1 mice of both sexes. Conditioned place preference (CPP), a useful tool for evaluating the sensitivity of individuals to the incentive properties of addictive drugs, was induced with a sub-threshold dose of co...

The items under study were obtained from the Science Citation Index-Expanded (SCI-E) database, which was accessed through the Web of Science (WOS) platform. All records with the term &amp;#39;multiple sclerosis&amp;#39; in the title, plus all articles published in the journals Multiple Sclerosis and Multiple Sclerosis Journal, were analysed. A total of 9778 articles, with 160,966 citations, were retrieved on multiple sclerosis, and the majority of the articles were published in Multiple Sclerosis Journal (n = 1511). The articles were published in journals belonging to 135 different subject areas, with the greatest number of papers falling under the category of clinical neurology. The countries that published the largest numbers of articles were the United States (US) (n = 2786), Italy (n = 1263), the United Kingdom (n = 1147) and Germany (n = 1018). International collaborations produced 20.4% of the papers. We emphasise the progressive growth of publications worldwide, the publication of articles in a wide variety of journals covering numerous subject areas, and the research leadership of Western countries, most notably European countries, the US and Canada.

This study aimed at assessing the main factors why cocaine and heroin dependent patients delay their entrance to treatment in drug abuse specific resources in the Autonomous Region of Valencia, as well as to identify whether differences are found according to the substance that caused the treatment demand.
