Métacognition et théories implicites de l'esprit

Ce travail a pour but de tisser un lien entre métacognition et théories implicites de l'esprit. Pour ce faire, nous déployons la notion de croyances épistémologiques. Selon notre hypothèse principale, la métacognition peut avoir un rôle de modération sur l’amorçage d’une théorie implicite lors d’une tâche de performance. La métacognition peut être entraînée et représente un outil important pour permettre à l’individu une analyse réflexive de son propre monde interne. Nous montrons en conclusion que cette prise de conscience donne au sujet la flexibilité psychique requise à concevoir des représentations plus sophistiquées qui mènent à des conduites davantage rationnelles et adaptatives. This work aims to link the concepts of metacognition and implicit theories of mind. To do so, we put forward the notion of epistemological beliefs. Our main hypothesis states that metacognition can have a moderating role on an implicit theory’s priming prior to a performance task. Metacognition can be trained and represents a useful tool that can foster self-reflexivity within a subject’s inner world. To conclude, we argue that self-reflection can give a subject the psychological flexibility required to conceive more sophisticated representations which lead to more rational and adaptive behaviors

Effect of Systemic Hypertension With Versus Without Left Ventricular Hypertrophy on the Progression of Atrial Fibrillation (from the Euro Heart Survey).

Hypertension is a risk factor for both progression of atrial fibrillation (AF) and development of AF-related complications, that is major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). It is unknown whether left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as a consequence of hypertension is also a risk factor for both these end points. We aimed to assess this in low-risk AF patients, also assessing gender-related differences. We included 799 patients from the Euro Heart Survey with nonvalvular AF and a baseline echocardiogram. Patients with and without hypertension were included. End points after 1 year were occurrence of AF progression, that is paroxysmal AF becoming persistent and/or permanent AF, and MACCE. Echocardiographic LVH was present in 33% of 379 hypertensive patients. AF progression after 1 year occurred in 10.2% of 373 patients with rhythm follow-up. In hypertensive patients with LVH, AF progression occurred more frequently as compared with hypertensive patients without LVH (23.3% vs 8.8%, p = 0.011). In hypertensive AF patients, LVH was the most important multivariably adjusted determinant of AF progression on multivariable logistic regression (odds ratio 4.84, 95% confidence interval 1.70 to 13.78, p = 0.003). This effect was only seen in male patients (27.5% vs 5.8%, p = 0.002), while in female hypertensive patients, no differences were found in AF progression rates regarding the presence or absence of LVH (15.2% vs 15.0%, p = 0.999). No differences were seen in MACCE for hypertensive patients with and without LVH. In conclusion, in men with hypertension, LVH is associated with AF progression. This association seems to be absent in hypertensive women

Progression From Paroxysmal to Persistent Atrial Fibrillation. Clinical Correlates and Prognosis

Objectives: We investigated clinical correlates of atrial fibrillation (AF) progression and evaluated the prognosis of patients demonstrating AF progression in a large population. Background: Progression of paroxysmal AF to more sustained forms is frequently seen. However, not all patients will progress to persistent AF. Methods: We included 1,219 patients with paroxysmal AF who participated in the Euro Heart Survey on AF and had a known rhythm status at follow-up. Patients who experienced AF progression after 1 year of follow-up were identified. Results: Progression of AF occurred in 178 (15%) patients. Multivariate analysis showed that heart failure, age, previous transient ischemic attack or stroke, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hypertension were the only independent predictors of AF progression. Using the regression coefficient as a benchmark, we calculated the HATCH score. Nearly 50% of the patients with a HATCH score >5 progressed to persistent AF compared with only 6% of the patients with a HATCH score of 0. During follow-up, patients with AF progression were more often admitted to the hospital and had more major adverse cardiovascular events. Conclusions: A substantial number of patients progress to sustained AF within 1 year. The clinical outcome of these patients regarding hospital admissions and major adverse cardiovascular events was worse compared with patients demonstrating no AF progression. Factors known to cause atrial structural remodeling (age and underlying heart disease) were independent predictors of AF progression. The HATCH score may help to identify patients who are likely to progress to sustained forms of AF in the near future. \ua9 2010 American College of Cardiology Foundation

127. Ferrara, 1598 e oltre. Nel tempo e nello spazio: tra storia e storiografia

Prendendo spunto dalle feste per le diverse entrate trionfali che si susseguono a Ferrara dopo la "devoluzione" del 1598, viene discussa la natura e la diversità delle fonti documentarie utilizzate, non per una ricostruzione evenemenziale dei vari episodi ma per una più ampia riflessione sulla storiografia teatrale e sul senso odierno della storia documentaria del teatro. In particolare sono discusse le testimonianze sullo spettacolo di carattere sacro e religioso nella Ferrara del XVII secolo
