The present work aims to investigate in a schematic and organized way all the main human mechanisms of psychological defense identified in the psychodynamic studies of world history, from Sigmund and Anna Freud to Perry, passing through Klein. The claim is therefore to offer the reader a reasoned analysis of the individual psychological mechanisms that underlie the defense of the ego, as a contact structure with reality. Each mechanism is then investigated in all its components: from levels to areas, from sources to analytical descriptions, complemented by practical examples. Finally, the work ends with a quick examination of the psychodiagnostic tools mainly used to investigate these defenses and with practical applications about the subjective interpretations of reality.

Mobile addiction is like other addiction type (Alcohol addiction, Drug Addiction, Behavioral addiction, Shopping addiction, Exercise addiction, Food addiction, Sex addiction, TV addiction, Social media addiction). Mobile addiction is also called as cell phone or smartphone addiction. Mobile addiction is said when the use of phones, internet and games which are not in control. Mobile addiction has not yet been listed in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Mobile addiction can result in both mentally and physically.

The exact causes of Parkinson's disease (PD) are currently unknown, but studies have shown that the environment and genetics are the two factors that play the biggest role in Parkinson's disease. DJ-1 gene (belong to the PARK genes) is known as the main cause of Parkinson's disease in populations. In Vietnam, the evaluation of DJ-1 gene mutation frequency in patients is necessary to clarify the pathogenesis and genetic mechanisms of this disease. In this research, we identified the frequency mutations of the DJ-1 gene in Vietnamese PD patients. The results showed that we detected some DJ-1 mutations at exon 5 and exon 7. Interestingly, Ala86Gly and Gln95Leu mutations of exon 5 and His138Pro of exon 7 are found, which leads to a change in amino acid sequence and possibly a change in a functional protein. In addition, out of more than 20 heterozygous or homozygous mutations occurring in the intron regions 4 and 5, we found that 3 homozygous mutations occurred frequently in both patient and control. The data of mutation analysis has shown the ambiguous and unforeseeable meanings; however, they possibly associated with the mutation of PD. Therefore, the study of our next will focus on the relationship between these mutations with some clinical symptoms in patients.

Attention deficits as well as aphasia are being frequently observed among post-stroke patients. However, studies analysing attentional deficits of aphasic patients in the acute phase after stroke are rare. Therefore, the aim of the study was to investigate attentional deficits in stroke patients with aphasia, the relationship between attentional and linguistic deficits as well as changes in these domains from acute to post-acute phase. Twelve patients with first insult in the left hemisphere, aged between 45 to 88 years were included. Each patient completed a linguistic and a neuropsychological assessment Bielefeld Aphasie Screening (BiAS); attention test of the Aphasie-Check-Liste (ACL); Reduced Symbol-Digit-Test (R-SDT) in the acute as well as in the post-acute phase after stroke. In the acute phase, 91.67% (n=11/12) of the aphasic patients showed attentional deficits. While the percentage of errors in the ACL attention test of the ACL negatively correlated with the necessary number of repetitions of the instructions in the BiAS (p<.01) in the acute phase; the number of necessary repetitions in the BiAS was associated with the processing time of the R-SDT (p<.05) in the post-acute phase. In this study, a significantly positive relationship between language functions and attentional performance was observed in both, the acute and post-acute phase after stroke.

Neurointensive care deals with the life-threatening diseases of the nervous system, which involves in the brain, spinal cord and nerves. Common diseases treated in neurointensive care units include brain injury, strokes, ruptured aneurysms, and spinal cord injury from trauma, seizures, swelling of brain, brain infections, brain tumors, and muscles weakness required to breathe. Neurological Intensive Care is one of the newest and fastest-growing specialties in medicine today. Neuro-ICUs are unique in that they bring together specially-trained physicians and nurses and advanced technology, all focused on treating life-threatening neurological diseases.

Traditional neurorehabilitation procedures have limited efficacy in patients of stroke, Parkinson's disease, spinal cord injury, severe brain injury, spasticity, and cognitive disorders. New technologies have been reported the effectiveness of rehabilitation. New technology of rehabiltation include robotic-assisted training, virtual reality, functional electrostimulation, noninvasive brain stimulation (NIBS, and to manipulate brain excitability & plasticity, as well as innovative approaches like assistive technology and domotics.
