Although obsessions and compulsions comprise the main features of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), many patients report that their compulsions are preceded by a sense of "incompleteness" or other unpleasant feelings such as premonitory urges or a need perform actions until feeling "just right." These manifestations have been characterized as Sensory Phenomena (SP). The current study presents initial psychometric data for a new scale designed to measure SP.Seventy-six adult OCD subjects were probed ...

The aim of the study was to investigate how perfectionism and sensory phenomena (SP) interact as possible phenotypic components of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Forty-seven adult outpatients, meeting Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition, criteria for OCD, and a control group of 41 community subjects were assessed using the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), the University of São Paulo-Sensory Phenomena Scale, and other standard measures of OCD ...

Clinical effectiveness of group cognitive-behavioral therapy (GCBT) versus fluoxetine in obsessive-compulsive disorder outpatients that could present additional psychiatric comorbidities was assessed. Patients (18–65 years; baseline Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive-Scale [Y-BOCS] scores ≥ 16; potentially presenting additional psychiatric comorbidities) were sequentially allocated for treatment with GCBT (n = 70) or fluoxetine (n = 88). Mean Y-BOCS scores decreased by 23.13% in the GCBT and 21.54% in the SSRI ...

Compulsive buying (CB) is currently classified as an impulse control disorder (ICD) not otherwise classified. Compulsive buying prevalence is estimated at around 5% of the general population. There is controversy about whether CB should be classified as an ICD, a subsyndromal bipolar disorder (BD), or an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) akin to a hoarding syndrome. To further investigate the appropriate classification of CB, we compared patients with CB, BD, and OCD for impulsivity, affective instability, ...

Mature males and females of Leporinus piau (Fowler, 1941) were induced to reproduce through a hypophysation process. Extrusion occurred 12 h or 312 hours-degree after the hypophysation, at a water temperature of 26°C. Fertilized eggs were maintained in incubators at 24°C. Embryonic development, was evaluated using every 10 minutes, fresh egg samples which were analyzed under stereoscopic microscope. The larvae were collected at 24-hour intervals for seven days after hatching, fixed in Bouin's fluid ...

In major depression, early response to treatment has been strongly associated with final outcome. We aimed to investigate the ability of early improvement (4 weeks) to predict treatment response at 12 weeks in DSM-IV-defined obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) patients treated with serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRI). We conducted an SRI practical trial with 128 subjects. Inclusion criteria: age range 18–65 years-old, baseline Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) score ≥ 16, and absence of previous ...

Common carp that had been screened for stress coping style using a standard behavioural test (response to a novel environment) were given a learning task in which food was concealed in one of two compartments, its location randomised between trials and its presence in a given compartment signalled by either a red or a yellow light. All the fish learned to find food quickly, but did so in different ways. Fifty five percent learned to use the light cue to locate food; the remainder achieved the same ...

Sodium silicate and sodium hydroxide were used as alkaline activators. Five geopolymer mixtures were prepared with 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% addition of quarry dust on the mass of solids in the mixture. The compressive strengths of the mixes ranged between 44.8 and 59.5 MPa after 28 days of ambient curing. The incorporation of quarry dust into the mass of solids ...

This study aimed to investigate the clinical correlates of early treatment discontinuation among obsessive-compulsive disorder patients.

Gonads samples (211 specimens) were collected and submitted to routine histological techniques. P imelodus maculatus prepared to reproduce when water temperature was high, and even reached advanced maturation but did not spawn in captivity. Spent fish gonads were not documented, and atretic follicles were frequent (60%) in late maturation females. When then submitted ...

Objective Patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) often present with deficits in episodic memory, and there is evidence that these difficulties may be secondary to executive dysfunction, that is, impaired selection and/or application of memory-encoding strategies (mediation hypothesis). Semantic clustering is an effective strategy to enhance encoding of verbal episodic memory (VEM) when word lists are semantically related. Self-initiated mobilization of this strategy has been associated with increased ...

Eight mixtures were prepared with and without the incorporation of calcium hydroxide (CH) and with 0%, 25%, 50%, and 75% of the mass of metakaolin (MK) replaced by CBW. Physical-mechanical tests evaluated the macrostructural properties and scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction analyses evaluated the microstructure. ...

This study investigated the self-healing of metakaolin-based geopolymers by incorporation of crystalline admixture (CA), expansive agent (EA), and hydrated lime (HL). Cracks were made in the samples at 3 days of age and their sealing was checked during 112 days of water immersion. The phases formed during self-healing were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) analyses. The results showed that self-healing did not occur in the mixtures without ...

This study evaluated the effect of precursor particle size and calcium hydroxide (CH) incorporation on the microstructure, compressive strength, and rheological properties of clay brick waste (BW)-based geopolymers. Rheological analyses were used to evaluate the fresh state of the geopolymers. XRD, SEM, and EDS analyses were performed to analyze the microstructure. The results showed that the particle size reduction in BW and the incorporation of CH significantly contributed to obtaining better compressive ...

In this study we investigated whether a conditioned response to a light cue can override the strong schooling tendency of common carp, with a view to identifying a possible system for low stress control of movement for captive fish. Carp were trained in groups of three to approach and bite a trigger to obtain food, the trigger being located next to a coloured light. In an initial pre-training period, fish were trained to approach and feed from a single trigger, identified by either a red, a green ...
