Many scientific publications that affect machine learning have set the basis for pattern recognition and symmetry. In this paper, we revisit the concept of “Mind-life continuity” published by the authors, testing the symmetry between cognitive and electrophoretic strata. We opted for machine learning to analyze and understand the total protein prof...

In the last 20 years, several contributions have been published on what concerns the conceptual and empirical connections between self-processes. However, only a limited number of publications addressed the viability of those processes to characterize mental health in neurotypical subjects with a normative pattern of neurodevelopment. Furthermore,...

Introduction: Recently, neuropsychiatry has focused almost exclusively on the correction of pathophysiological changes, inevitably neglecting certain psychosomatic factors of chronic diseases in the community. It is thus necessary to develop and apply mental health that uses a more comprehensive approach in the treatment of disabling diseases and i...

DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.1.5109.0408/1 En tant que médecin chef de clinique de la Fondation Pôle Autisme (centre de consultation spécialisé en autisme et consultation pour le développement de l’enfant et de l’adolescent), Genève, Suisse, il acquit une connaissance clinique dans le développement des troubles psychiques, spécifiquement dans les troubles n...

Reports of patients with schizophrenia show a fragmented and anomalous subjective experience. This pathological subjective experience, we suggest, can be related to the fact that disembodiment inhibits the possibility of intersubjective experience, and more importantly of common sense. In this paper, we ask how to investigate the anomalous experien...

There are two fundamental models to understanding the phenomenon of natural life. One is the computational model, which is based on the symbolic thinking paradigm. The other is the biological organism model. The common difficulty attributed to these paradigms is that their reductive tools allow the phenomenological aspects of experience to remain h...

Abstract Objectives: Dental implants are one of the most frequently used treatment options for tooth replacement. Approximately 30% of patients with dental implants develop peri-implantitis, which is an oral inflammatory disease1-4. Our goal was to examine a group of patients with different degrees of periodontal disease including peri-implantitis...

O uso excessivo e muitas vezes desnecessário de antibióticos pode originar a seleção de genes de resistência a antibióticos (Moares et al., 2015). Os biofilmes, especificamente os orais, são conglomerados bacterianos que potenciam a preservação dos genes de resistência a antibióticos. Além disso, há estudos que destacam a propagação dos genes de re...

Most miRNAs have been explored as blood or serum biomarkers. Our group aims at using saliva’s excellent collection and processing advantages to test if the miRNAs proposed as blood or serum biomarkers can be validated in saliva. So far, using bioinformatics tools it has been possible to suggest 9 miRNAs as promising salivary biomarkers for type II...

Neuronal functional protein networks found in the oral proteome are possibly useful to characterize a healthy phenome state and trait. Proteomics have extensively and objectively epitomized the understanding of healthy and pathological physiological states or conditions. Our group aims at the molecular characterization of cognition.

Program managed by the Município de Viseu promoting supervised physical activity for seniors. SalivaTec is a partner monitoring salivary markers of all participants, with the goal of establishing the molecular profile of diabetic patients.

Cardosin A enzyme has been demonstrated to have similar activity and cleavage site of MMP 1 (Duarte et al., 2007). Moreover, according to Muller et al., 2007, MMP 1 is up regulated on good healers during 1st week post wound (inflammation state). After that the proportion is reversed by increasing TIMP 1 activity. Based on these results we can infer...

The relationship between consciousness and neural activity, i.e., between mental and brain states, has been widely studied. However, the relation between consciousness and its biochemical markers is still undetermined. Altered states of consciousness (ASC), can be a learning process for the achievement of subjective states of happiness. Clinical hy...

The present model aims to develop and optimize an innovative technological resource. Advanced biometric solutions and innovative technologies specifically designed are implemented, combining bio-direct and bio-indirect signals. The model underpinning is aiming to explore the relationship between states and traits of consciousness, meditative practi...

New research on ayahuasca's potential applications in psychiatry have been undertaken in the last few years. It is relevant to start by pointing out that this south American brew has a very low potential for abuse, having no associated psychiatric or neuropsychological disorders. P.The most studied area in which ayahuasca may be applied is drug add...

The Unesco Chair " Anthropology of Health, biosphere and Healing System " inside the University of Genoa (IT) is a unique experience inside the University of Genoa that stems from a cultural necessity to fill and a wealth of knowledge to preserve health, environment and treatment strategies considered strictly connected in modern medicine. This new...
