Introduction
Since Kraepelin times, it is considered that the delusional disorder (DD) does not imply a cognitive deficit, unlike the paranoid schizophrenia (PS). However, empirical evidence is very limited.
ObjectiveTo compare the neurocognitive functioning differences among healthy controls (HC), DD and PS patients.
MethodsNeurocognitive functioning was evaluated in 51 healthy controls, 69 DD patients and 41 PS patients (according to the SCID-I) using an extensive neuropsychological battery which evaluate five domains (attention, working memory, verbal memory, executive function and social cognition). Was performed multivariate analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) to compare differences in neuropsychological performance between the three groups. The potential confusion factors were controlled, like the socio-demographic characteristics, premorbid IQ (“National Adult Reading Test”), depressive symptoms (“Beck Depression Inventory”) and the positive and negative psychotic symptoms (“Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale”).
ResultsDD patients showed a considerably worse neurocognitive functioning than healthy controls regarding to attention, verbal memory, executive functions and social cognition; while DD patients compared to PS only present a better neurocognitive performance in attention.
ConclusionDD patients shown that neurocognitive deficit is relevant, unlike what it is considered since Kraepelin up to date, as shown in the DSM-IV-TR and the CIE-10.

Introduction
There exists evidence about the presence of Childhood Trauma (CT) being implicated in pathogenesis of Delusional Disorder (DD).
ObjectivesInvestigate de influence of CT in the cognitive biases (attentional bias, jumping-to-conclusions, personalizing attributional bias, need-for-closure and “self” discrepancies) and in the social cognition alterations (theory-of-mind and facial emotion recognition deficits) which have been postulated to be implicated in formation and maintenance of DD.
MethodsChildhood Trauma was measured using the “Childhood Trauma Questionaire” in 64 patients (n=64) diagnosed with DD by the SCID-I (DSM-IV-TR). The cognitive biases were evaluated using specific scales (“Emotional Stroop”, “Experimental Beads Task”, “Need-for-Closure Scale”, “Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire” and “Personal Qualities Questionnaire”). Social Cognition was evaluated using a theory-of-mind task (“Faux-Pas”) and a facial recognizing task (“Eyes Test”). The relationship between CT and those anomalies were examined using lineal regression models controlled by sociodemographic characteristics, premorbid IQ (“National Adult Reading Test”), delusion intensity (“Maudsley Assessment of Delusion Schedule”), depression intensity (“Beck Depression Inventory”) and neuropsychological function (attention, verbal learning, working memory and executive function; measured by a extensive neuropsychological assesment).
ResultsHigh scores in CT were significantly associated with low scores in Faux-Pas task after being adjusted by the delusion and depression intensity, executive function and antipsycothic medication dose.
ConclusionsThe severity of Childhood Trauma in patients with DD is related to theory-of-mind deficits, a social cognitive function which has been implicated in the pathogenesis of the Delusional Disorder.

Introduction
Four theoretical models have been postulated in formation and maintenance of delusional idea in schizophrenia:
1. Cognitive biases (attentional bias, jumping-to-conclusion, need-for-clousure, attributional bias),
2. Social cognition alterations (theory-of-mind, emotion facial recognition),
3. Perceptive alterations of anomalous experiences and
4. Emotional anomalies (anxiety, depression, self-esteem, “self” discrepancies).
ObjectivesTo exam the joint influence of these anomalies in delusional activity in DD.
MethodsWe studied the delusional activity measured by the “Maudsley Assessment of Delusion Schedule” in 68 patients with DD (n=68) diagnosed by SCID-I (DSM-IV-TR). Cognitive biases were evaluated by “Emotional Stroop”, “Experimental Beads Task”, “Need-for-Closure Scale”, “Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire”. Social cognition alterations were measured by Faux-pas Task and Eyes-Test; perceptive alterations by “Cardiff Anomalous Perceptions Scale”; and emotional anomalies by “Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale”, “Beck Depression Inventory”, “Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale” and “Personal Qualities Questionnaire”. The relationship between delusional activity and these cognitive anomalies were examined using lineal regression models controlled by socio-demographic characteristics, premorbid IQ (“NART”), negative symptomatology (“PANSS”) and neuropsychological function (attention, verbal learning, working memory and executive function).
ResultsHigh scores in delusion activity were significantly associated with high scores in jumping-to-conclusion and depression and low scores in faux-pas and self-esteem, after being adjusted by number of studied years and negative symptomatology.
ConclusionsCognitive biases (jumping-to-conclusions), social cognition deficit (faux-pas) and emotional alterations are the most implicated anomalies in formation and maintenance of delusional idea in DD.

Collagen microstructure is closely related to the mechanical properties of tissues and affects cell migration through the extracellular matrix. To study these structures, three-dimensional (3D) in vitro collagen-based gels are often used, attempting to mimic the natural environment of cells. Some key parameters of the microstructure of these gels are fiber orientation, fiber length, or pore size, which define the mechanical properties of the network and therefore condition cell behavior. In the present study, an automated tool to reconstruct 3D collagen networks is used to extract the aforementioned parameters of gels of different collagen concentration and determine how their microstructure is affected by the presence of cells. Two different experiments are presented to test the functionality of the method: first, collagen gels are embedded within a microfluidic device and collagen fibers are imaged by using confocal fluorescence microscopy; second, collagen gels are directly polymerized in a cell culture dish and collagen fibers are imaged by confocal reflection microscopy. Finally, we investigate and compare the collagen microstructure far from and in the vicinities of MDA-MB 23 cells, finding that cell activity during migration was able to strongly modify the orientation of the collagen fibers and the porosity-related values.

The aim of this study is to provide the first detailed mineralogical and fluid-inclusion description of emeralds from the Delbegetey deposit (Kazakhstan). The characteristic features of Delbegetey emeralds are established: they have dissolution figures on crystal faces, bluish colour and distinct colour zoning; the refractive indices are ω = 1.566–1.570, ε = 1.558–1.562, and the specific gravity is 2.65±0.005, relatively low for natural emeralds; they have very small concentrations of the impurities (Fe, Mg, Na and others) typical of other emeralds, and contain Cr and V; there is a significant preponderance of vapour in fluid inclusions of all types and there is liquid-to-vapour homogenization of primary fluid inclusions (at 395–420°C). The lattice oxygen isotope composition data obtained (δ18O SMOW value of 11.3%o) situate the deposit within the range characteristic of other granite-related emerald deposits. Emerald crystallization took place in low-density (0.40–0.55 g/cm3) aqueous fluid, with the following chemical composition (mol.%): 75.6-97.4 H2O, 0.0-18.4 CO2, 0.0-0.9 CH4, and 4.06-9.65 wt.% NaCl equiv. salinity. According to the calculated isochores, the pressure of formation of the Delbegetey emeralds can be estimated at 570–1240 bar.

The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with infection by high-risk human papillomavirus (HR-HPV) in cervix and squamous intra-epithelial lesions (SIL) in imprisoned women. This was done by a cross-sectional study of imprisoned women attending the gynaecological clinic in Foncalent prison in Alicante, Spain. The study period was from May 2003 to December 2005. HR-HPV infection was determined through Digene HPV Test, Hybrid Capture II (HC-II). HPV typing was determined by multiplex nested PCR assay combining degenerate E6/E7 consensus primers. Multiple logistic regression modelling was used for the analysis of associations between variables where some were considered possible confounders after checking for interactions. A total of 219 women were studied. HR-HPV prevalence was 27·4% and prevalence of SIL was 13·3%. HIV prevalence was 18%, higher in Spaniards than in migrant women (24·6% vs. 14·3%, P<0·05). In multivariate analyses, risk factors for HPV infection were younger age (P for trend=0·001) and tobacco use (OR 2·62, 95% CI 1·01–6·73). HPV infection (OR 4·8, 95% CI 1·7–13·8) and HIV infection were associated with SIL (OR 4·8, 95% CI 1·6–14·1). The commonest HPV types were HPV16 (29·4%), HPV18 (17·6%), HPV39 (17·6%) and HPV68 (17·6%). The prevalence of both HR-HPV infection and SIL in imprisoned women found in this study is high. Determinants for each of the outcomes studied were different. HPV infection is the most important determinant for SIL. A strong effect of HIV co-infection on the prevalence of SIL has been detected. Our findings reinforce the need to support gynaecological clinics in the prison setting.

A linear operator between two Banach spaces X and Y is strictly-singular (or Kato) if it fails to be an isomorphism on any infinite dimensional subspace. A weaker notion for Banach lattices introduced in [8] is the following one: an operator T from a Banach lattice X to a Banach space Y is said to be disjointly strictly-singular if there is no disjoint sequence of non-null vectors (xn)n∈ℕ in X such that the restriction of T to the subspace [(xn)∞n=1] spanned by the vectors (xn)n∈ℕ is an isomorphism. Clearly every strictly-singular operator is disjointly strictly-singular but the converse is not true in general (consider for example the canonic inclusion Lq[0, 1][rarrhk ]Lp[0, 1] for 1[les ]p<q<∞). In the special case of considering Banach lattices X with a Schauder basis of disjoint vectors both concepts coincide. The notion of disjointly strictly-singular has turned out to be a useful tool in the study of lattice structure of function spaces (cf. [7–9]). In general the class of all disjointly strictly-singular operators is not an operator ideal since it fails to be stable with respect to the composition on the right.
The aim of this paper is to study when the inclusion operators between arbitrary rearrangement invariant function spaces E[0, 1] ≡ E on the probability space [0, 1] are disjointly strictly-singular operators.

Interpolation properties of the class of disjointly strictly singular operators on Banach lattices are studied. We also give some applications to compare the lattice structure of two rearrangement invariant function spaces. In particular, we obtain suitable analytic characterisations of when the inclusion map between two Orlicz function spaces is disjointly strictly singular.
