Behavioural disorders in children and adolescents: A conceptual review about the therapeutic alliance with family and school
Aim: In disruptive behavioral disorders, given the wide range of symptomatic manifestations and the complexity of the sociofamiliar contexts in which they develop, it is now proven that more visible and more stable results can be achieved over time through multimodal and multidimensional interventions. These are accomplished through the integration of psychotherapeutic interventions for the child and parents, counseling interventions for all the various practitioners who come into contact with the child in school, sports, and social settings, through the possibility of organizing multiple settings in patient can be followed by several health professionals such as child and adolescent neuropsychiatrist, neuropsychomotricist, occupation therapist, psychologist
Review about comorbidities of behavioural disorders in children and adolescents: The focus on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) present high comorbidity rate mainly for opposite-defiant disorders that are frequent among children, adolescents and adults affected by with attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), probably as result of common temperamental risk factors such as attention, distraction, impulsivity. ADHD tend to manifest in about 50% of individuals diagnosed as disruptive behavioral disorders
The behavioral parenting interventions (BPT) for support and mandatory integrative therapy for children and adolescents affected by disruptive behavioural disorders: A brief review
The behavioral parenting interventions (BPT), commonly abbreviated as parent training, is a program conducted by an expert with the specific purpose of improving or modifying parental practices in order to promote the child's well-being, increasing parenting skills in the daily management of the child, problem solving and reducing the level of parenting and family stress. BPT presents many positive effects on children or adolescents affected by neurodevelopmental disorder such as ADHD, autism and cognitive dysfunction but BPT appears to improve also other proximal outcomes such as parenting competence and parenting stress
Enhanced Nuclear Engineering Simulators
Engineering simulation is a sophisticated multi-purpose technology allowing the users of simulators to run a variety of engineering activities due to the possibility of modifying the simulated plant architecture and components, to adjust parameters, to test alternative solutions. Engineering Simulators (ES) have been built and used worldwide for a variety of purposes:
- Development and refinement of the plant design or plant modifications
- Safety analyses focused on the overall system behaviour
- Verification and Validation (V&V) of systems and components
- Development of Operational and Emergency Procedures
- Pre-Training of operators and supervisors
- High level education and Communication activities
- Human Factor Engineering Analysis
- Adaptive Control System training Engineering Simulators also play a role in developing and maintaining key nuclear skills, as knowledge repositories and tools for training at various levels of expertise

Neurophysiological complements of autism diagnosis
Research presented show relationships between behavioral and cognitive
disorders and underlying cerebral functional abnormalities, on
the basis of non invasive electrophysiological investigations (electroencephalography,
cortical evoked potentials). Three types of disturbances
are studied: sleep problems, intolerance to change and atypical visual
processing of human faces. The complementarity of clinical and neurophysiological
approaches is crucial at the levels of functional diagnosis,
therapeutic and educative interventions
NEUROSCIENCES AND ATTACHMENT THEORY: A BRIEF REVIEW
The attachment theory was proposed and elaborated by John Bowlby.
Over the last ten years the attachment theory has attracted considerable interest in the field of mental health as it emphasizes
how relationships that are established in the earliest stages of development have an impact on man in an indefinable and lifelong
manner
THE DYNAMIC MATURATIVE MODEL FOR ATTACHMENT
The Dynamic-Maturation Model (DMM) was developed by Patricia Crittenden (1-4), which focused its studies on attachment
to different ethnic, socio-cultural and dangers as families in which episodes of Maltreatment and abuse or families with high psychosocial
risk. Crittenden proposes new protocols of the Strange Situation (SS) and the Adult Attachment Interview (AAI) based on a
coding and classification system derived from the model proposed by Ainsworth, but modified and enriched with that of Main,
Goldwyn and Hesse. The SS procedure, adopted for children aged between 10 and 18 months, is valid until all preschool age, assuming
This way the name of the Preschool Assessment of Attachment (PAA)

MOTION SICKNESS IN CHILDHOOD MIGRAINE
Background: Migraine is a chronic, progressive, and debilitating disorder that has an impact on the lives of millions of individuals.
The origins of the disability can be traced into childhood and adolescence for most adult migraine sufferers. The group
of periodic syndromes consists in symptoms related to migraine, thought to be migraine equivalent or precursors.
Aim of this study is to assess the role of MS as risk factors for childhood migraine.
Materials and methods: 441 subjects (211 Females) aged 6-13 years (mean 9.20; SD 2.42), consecutively referred between
October 2007 to March 2009 for primary headaches to pediatric Centers for Headache in Childhood. Control group consisted
of 365 subjects (175 F) aged 7-13 years (mean 9.08; SD 3.02).
Results: Two groups were not different for age (F=0.390; p=0.539) and sex ratio (Chi-square=0.002; p=0.966). Headache
percentage distribution was the following: MoA 38.32%, MA 11.11%, FETTH 16.78%, CTTH 20.63%. Logistic regression shows a
greater OR for CVS and MS associated for migraine group (MoA and MA patients), respectively 8.28 (IC95% 2.35 - 29.16) for CVS
and 5.22 (IC95% 3.5 - 7.77); moreover, CVS cause a consistent increase in OR of 3.69 (IC95% 2.21 - 6.17) also for headache group
(CTTH and FETTH patients).
Discussion: Periodic syndromes could be considered the natural precursors of migraine almost but not only in children, as
reported in some studies in adulthood
