Asóciese a SIIC en Internet para utilizar sin límites tanto siicsalud como la totalidad de los servicios bibliográficos de la institución.
SIIC selecciona textos completos de calidad y de reciente publicación en fuentes prestigiosas del mundo
indizadas por SIIC Data Bases, capturadas en las mismas colecciones o en diversas bases especializadas.
La creciente cantidad de artículos con Acceso Abierto (Open
Access) amplía la oferta de lectura pero a su vez también, entre
tanta abundancia, complica al lector en su encuentro con los estudios
fundamentales. Para facilitarlo, profesionales biomédicos de SIIC
consultan diariamente una profusa cantidad de documentos que nutrirán
Textos completos autorizados (TCA).
Las citas de la sección TCA enlazan de manera legal, autorizada y
gratuita con los textos completos (full text) publicados en
los sitios oficiales de sus respectivas fuentes.
SIIC creó, produjo y opera con exclusividad el software TCA para la
interpretación de los diversos campos documentales que integran la
estructura de un estudio: especialidad, modalidad del estudio,
fuente, fechas de publicación y selección, definición de la fuente,
limitaciones de consulta, resumen en castellano, etc.
Si bien la mayoría de los textos seleccionados corresponden a
artículos originales, revisiones y guías, los lectores también
encontrarán comentarios, entrevistas, notas periodísticas, cartas a
autores u otros textos precursores de debates o aclaratorios.
Sociedad Iberoamericana de Información Científica (SIIC) selects
complete quality-full texts which have been recently published in
renowned sources worldwide and are indexed by SIIC Data
Bases.
The increasing number of Open Access articles widens the reading offer
but, also, such myriad complicates the readers search of fundamental
articles. To facilitate this, SIIC biomedical professionals daily
consult a profuse amount of documents that will feed
Authorized Full Texts (TCA, Spanish acronym).
The citations of the AFT section link legally, authorized and free of
charge with the full texts published in the official web sites of
their corresponding sources.
SIIC created, produced and handles the AFT software that deciphers
the various documentary fields that form part of the structure of a
study: specialty, study style, source, publication and selection
dates, source definition, query limitations, summary in Spanish,
etc.
While most of the selected texts belong to original articles,
reviews, and guidelines, readers will also find commentaries,
interviews, journalistic reports, letters to authors or other texts
that may lead to discussions or clarifications.

This study showed that an
EMA-driven JITAI can provide motivating and tailored support, but more
personalization is needed to ensure that the lifestyle support more closely fits
each individual's unique needs. Key areas for improvement include developing more
individually tailored interventions, improving assessment methods to balance
active and passive data collection, and integrating JITAIs within comprehensive
lifestyle interventions.

RELEVANCE: Results indicate generalized hyperactivation of ACC, sensory
association cortex, and supplementary motor cortex in response to visual food
stimuli in children, adolescents, and young adults with ARFID, suggesting a novel
neurobiological circuit associated with this disorder. Activation appears
consistent with ARFID phenotypic rationales for food avoidance, with
hyperactivation of fear regions in ARFID-fear and hypoactivation of appetite
regions with increasing ARFID-lack of interest severity.
