The impact of personality traits of advanced psychology students in the choice of a theoretical framework

El propósito de este artículo de investigación es analizar la influencia de la personalidad y las motivaciones para optar por una especialización clínica, en estudiantes de Psicología. Método: 155 estudiantes avanzados de la carrera Lic. en Psicología fueron evaluados con el test Big Five de Personalidad (Castro Solano, 2005) y con una encuesta Ad Hoc. Resultados: Se encontraron diferencias significativas en dos dimensiones de personalidad: Agradabilidad (p= ,034) y Responsabilidad (p= ,053) entre estudiantes de diferentes corrientes teóricas. Además se observaron diferencias en las motivaciones elegidas para optar por determinada orientación clínica. Se puede concluir que existe una relación significativa entre los rasgos de personalidad y los enfoques teóricos de la Psicología como ciencia en estudiantes de Psicología. Se discuten estos resultados en función de estudios previos.The aim of this research paper is to analyze the influence of personality and motivations in the choice of a clinical specialization in psychology students. Method: 155 psychology advanced were assessed with the Big Five Personality test (Castro Solano, 2005) and an Ad Hoc survey. Results: Significant differences in two dimensions of personality were found: Agreeableness (p = .034) and Accountability (p = .053) among students of different clinical specialization. Besides, differences in motivations chosen were found in the choice of a specific clinical orientation. We conclude that a significant relationship exists between personality traits and the theoretical Psychology approaches as a science in Psychology students.Fil: Cariaga Siracusa, Lucía María.

B-Lymphocyte Depletion Reduces Skin Fibrosis and Autoimmunity in the Tight-Skin Mouse Model for Systemic Sclerosis

Systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) is an autoimmune disease characterized by excessive extracellular matrix deposition in the skin. A direct role for B lymphocytes in disease development or progression has remained controversial, although autoantibody production is a feature of this disease. To address this issue, skin sclerosis and autoimmunity were assessed in tight-skin mice, a genetic model of human systemic sclerosis, after circulating and tissue B-cell depletion using an anti-mouse CD20 monoclonal antibody before (day 3 after birth) and after disease development (day 56). CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment (10 to 20 μg) depleted the majority (85 to 99%) of circulating and tissue B cells in newborn and adult tight-skin mice by days 56 and 112, respectively. B-cell depletion in newborn tight-skin mice significantly suppressed (∼43%) the development of skin fibrosis, autoantibody production, and hypergammaglobulinemia. B-cell depletion also restored a more normal balance between Th1 and Th2 cytokine mRNA expression in the skin. By contrast, B-cell depletion did not affect skin fibrosis, hypergammaglobulinemia, and autoantibody levels in adult mice with established disease. Thereby, B-cell depletion during disease onset suppressed skin fibrosis, indicating that B cells contribute to the initiation of systemic sclerosis pathogenesis in tight-skin mice but are not required for disease maintenance

A prospective cohort analysis of the prevalence and predictive factors of delayed discharge after laparoscopic cholecystectomy in Italy: the DeDiLaCo Study

Background: The concept of early discharge ≤24 hours after Laparoscopic Cholecystectomy (LC) is still doubted in Italy. This prospective multicentre study aims to analyze the prevalence of patients undergoing elective LC who experienced a delayed discharge >24 hours in an extensive Italian national database and identify potential limiting factors of early discharge after LC. Methods: This is a prospective observational multicentre study performed from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 by 90 Italian surgical units. Results: A total of 4664 patients were included in the study. Clinical reasons were found only for 850 patients (37.7%) discharged >24 hours after LC. After excluding patients with nonclinical reasons for delayed discharge >24 hours, 2 groups based on the length of hospitalization were created: the Early group (≤24 h; 2414 patients, 73.9%) and the Delayed group (>24 h; 850 patients, 26.1%). At the multivariate analysis, ASA III class ( P <0.0001), Charlson's Comorbidity Index (P=0.001), history of choledocholithiasis (P=0.03), presence of peritoneal adhesions (P<0.0001), operative time >60 min (P<0.0001), drain placement (P<0.0001), pain ( P =0.001), postoperative vomiting (P=0.001) and complications (P<0.0001) were independent predictors of delayed discharge >24 hours. Conclusions: The majority of delayed discharges >24 hours after LC in our study were unrelated to the surgery itself. ASA class >II, advanced comorbidity, the presence of peritoneal adhesions, prolonged operative time, and placement of abdominal drainage were intraoperative variables independently associated with failure of early discharge
