NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL DETERMINANTS OF DYSLEXIA IN SCHOOLCHILDREN

The article describes the results of the research exploring the link between the neurodynamic component of schoolchildren’s psychic activity at the age of 7-12 and the level of mastering the reading skill at school. In the process of the research, we have detected the core neuropsychological criteria correlating with the level of reading technique and text understanding in schoolchildren. The neuropsychological research was made using A.R. Luria’s battery of tests, by G.M. Glosman’s method, adapted to childhood. We also used A.N. Kornyev and O.A. Ishymova’s method of dyslexia diagnostics; texts for the research have been translated into Ukrainian. We have pointed out two age groups of children andanalyzed how neurodynamic deficiency and audio-verbal and visual memory level influence the formation of dyslexia determinants in both of them. In addition, we have addressed the link between child’s development under the age of 1, parents’ complaints at the actual time and the level of a child’s reading technique.

The article presents a psycholinguistic description of unofficial toponyms of Yaroslavl on the example of one of them. Based on the data of a free associative experiment, the associative fields of the unofficial toponym Bragino were formed in two age groups of subjects: from 18 to 30 years and from 30 to 80 years. When comparing the obtained associative fields, their core and periphery, and semantic groups, the peculiarities of understanding this lexeme by different age groups were revealed. It is shown that the psycholinguistic description of the analyzed lexeme differs in two groups of subjects: the core of the field partially coincides, semantic groups of associative fields overlap, but most of them are different in volume, small semantic groups are relevant only in one group of subjects. As a part of the obtained associative fields, evaluation reactions were identified, both positive and negative. It is shown that evaluative reactions are more common in the youth sphere, but negative-evaluative reactions are superior to positive-evaluative ones in both groups of subjects. In general, the study allows us to draw conclusions about the development of the unofficial toponym by Yaroslavl residents and the similarity and differentiation of associative fields in different age groups.

According to the authors, the prevalence of SOPR diseases is from 3 to 20%.In a study of 1573 residents of southern China in two age groups who use tobacco and alcohol, the incidence of SOPR was higher among men living in rural areas compared to urban residents. Among women aged 35-44 years, the incidence was higher in urban women, and in the 65-77-year-old group in rural women. In the course of studies in Brazil, among 335 patients older than 60 years, 646 diseases of the SOPR were identified. Similar results were obtained in the analysis of SOPR diseases in the Volgograd region of the Russian Federation

BACKGROUND Due to the religious proscription, it was found that Arab youths acquire information and view pornography secretly. The internet exposes them to contents that contradict religious and cultural taboos. There are few studies about viewing habits of sexual contents among Arab adolescents and about the way they discuss sexuality. OBJECTIVE to characterize the barriers and difficulties that prevent sexual discourse in Arab society and enable pornography viewing, according to the perceptions of adolescents and mothers. METHODS phenomological qualitative research methods, in-depth interviews with 40 participants. 20 Arab adolescents, sampled by two age groups: 14-16 and 16-18. In addition, 20 mothers of adolescents from both sexes were interviewed. RESULTS The findings indicate that mothers “turn a blind eye” to porn viewing and sexual activity by boys, versus a sweeping prohibition and denial of such behavior by girls. The boys reported viewing porn routinely, whereas girls denied doing so, but admitted that their girlfriends watched porn. The study also found that the boys have guilt feelings during and after the viewing as a result of the clash between modernity and traditional values. CONCLUSIONS It is necessary to find a way to encourage a significant sexual discourse to prevent the violent consequences of its absence in Arab society. A controlled, transparent and critical sexual discourse could help youth make more informed decisions concerning the search for sexual contents, porn viewing and sexual behavior.

Background: Data suggest that pediatric patients might react differently to influenza vaccination, both in terms of immunity and side effects. We have recently shown that using a whole virion vaccine with aluminum phosphate adjuvants, reduced dose vaccines containing 6 µg of viral hemagglutinin (HA) per strain are immunogenic, and well tolerated in adult and elderly patients. Here we show the results of a multicenter clinical trial of pediatric patients, using reduced doses of a new, whole virion, aluminum phosphate adjuvanted vaccine (FluArt, Budapest, Hungary). Methods: A total of 120 healthy volunteers were included in two age groups (3–11 years, receiving 3 µg of HA per strain, and 12–18 years, receiving 6 µg of HA per strain). We used hemagglutination inhibition testing to assess immunogenicity, based on EMA and FDA licensing criteria, including post/pre-vaccination geometric mean titer ratios, seroconversion and seropositivity rates. Safety and tolerability were assessed using CHMP guidelines. Results: All subjects entered the study and were vaccinated (ITT population). All 120 subjects attended the control visit on Day 21 (PP population). All immunogenicity licensing criteria were met in both age groups for all three vaccine virus strains. No serious adverse events were detected and the vaccine was well tolerated by both age groups. Discussion: Using a whole virion vaccine and aluminum phosphate adjuvants, a reduction in the amount of the viral hemmaglutinin is possible while maintaining immunogenicity, safety and tolerability in pediatric and adolescent patients.

Abstract Simultaneous bilingual children sometimes display crosslinguistic influence (CLI), widely attested in the domain of morphosyntax. It remains less clear whether CLI affects bilinguals’ event construal, what motivates its occurrence and directionality, and how developmentally persistent it is. The present study tested predictions generated by the structural overlap hypothesis and the co-activation account in the motion event domain. 96 English–French bilingual children of two age groups and 96 age-matched monolingual English and French controls were asked to describe animated videos displaying voluntary motion events. Semantic encoding in main verbs showed bidirectional CLI. Unidirectional CLI affected French path encoding in the verbal periphery and was predicted by the presence of boundary-crossing, despite the absence of structural overlap. Furthermore, CLI increased developmentally in the French data. It is argued that these findings reflect highly dynamic co-activation patterns sensitive to the requirements of the task and to language-specific challenges in the online production process.

Background:The DISSCO trial (6-month international, multicentre, double-blind, randomised study on the effect of diacerein vs celecoxib in symptomatic knee osteoarthritis [OA] patients) showed that diacerein had comparable efficacy to celecoxib at reducing the level of pain (WOMAC pain).Objectives:To assess the effect of age, body mass index (BMI), and gender on the efficacy/safety profile of diacerein following 6 months of treatment.Methods:Of the patients (n=380) that were randomised, 186 received treatment with 50 mg diacerein once daily for the first month and twice daily thereafter. This study was done on the intent-to-treat population (n=183). Efficacy outcome assessments which included absolute change in WOMAC pain (score 0-50) and function (score 0-170), and VAS (score 0-10) were analysed following stratification based on age (< 65 vs ≥ 65 years old) and BMI (< 30 vs ≥ 30 kg/m2) at time of randomisation. Treatment effects on continuous efficacy outcomes were performed using covariance analysis (ANCOVA). For gastrointestinal (GI) safety outcomes, the adverse events (AEs), including diarrhoea, soft faeces, abdominal pain and dyspepsia, and the time-to-onset from baseline were stratified according to age of patients at randomisation. Treatment-related GI AEs were also assessed according to the gender. The independent variables were treatment, stratification variable, interaction between both, and the outcome measure at baseline. Comparisons between groups were carried out using Chi-square.Results:No significant differences were found between the two age groups (<65 years old [n=105], ≥65 years old [n=78]) in the level of reduction in WOMAC pain (-10.3 ± 1.1, -8.6 ± 1.3, respectively; p=0.30), VAS (-2.3 ± 0.2, -2.2 ± 0.3, p=0.73) or improved physical function (-29.7 ± 3.7, -22.1 ± 4.2, p=0.18). The reported incidences of treatment-related GI AEs were also similar between the two age groups; more specifically for diarrhoea, incidence for patients <65 years old [n=12] 11.3% and for those ≥65 years old [n=7] 8.8% (p=0.63) with a mean time-to-onset (day 43 ± 49, 61 ±51, respectively; p=0.11). Moreover, gender had no influence on treatment-related GI AEs (p=0.42).In regard to treatment response of obese (n=101) vs. non-obese (n=82) patients in terms of pain reduction (WOMAC: -10.1 ± 1.2, -9.1 ± 1.1, respectively; p=0.58; VAS: -2.6 ± 0.3, -2.0 ± 0.3; p=0.15), or improved WOMAC physical function (-29.8 ± 4.2, -23.5 ± 3.8; p=0.26), there were also no significant differences.Conclusion:In symptomatic knee OA patients, the level of effectiveness and safety profile of treatment with diacerein were found not to be influenced by age, BMI or gender.Disclosure of Interests:Jean-Pierre Pelletier Shareholder of: ArthroLab Inc., Grant/research support from: TRB Chemedica, Speakers bureau: TRB Chemedica and Mylan, Jean-Pierre Raynauld Consultant of: ArthroLab Inc., Marc Dorais Consultant of: ArthroLab Inc., Patrice Paiement Employee of: ArthroLab Inc., Johanne Martel-Pelletier Shareholder of: ArthroLab Inc., Grant/research support from: TRB Chemedica
