Temporality of Maternity, Chronic Pain, and Ethics: Challenging Current Narratives on Pain and Health
2021
This chapter aims to articulate new ethical possibilities made apparent during experiences of chronic pain, and suggest an ethics of temporality apparent in the mother–child relation. I also aim to bring an understanding of the complexity and diversity of subjectivities in pain and its impact on its social, intersubjective environment. The narratives of mothers who have experienced chronic pain for more than three months help articulate a gap found in the Western model of medical knowledge. I hope to shift attention from the perspective of a patient understood as an objectified object of pain and from pain as a separate object of study to a study of the concrete embodied experiences of moth…
Einfluß der Proliferationsrate auf den Krankheitsverlauf von nodalnegativen Mammakarzinomen
1995
In 250 patients with node-negative breast cancer and no systemic adjuvant therapy the impact on the prognosis of the variables age, histological tumour type, tumour size, histological grade, receptor status and localisation of the tumour within the breast, was studied. Patients were followed over a mean period of 60 (range 7-164) months. In a subset of 124 cases additional examination of the growth fraction rate, detected by immunohistochemical determination of antibody Ki-67 and semiquantitative measurement of the stained tumour cell nuclei was performed. In 43 cases, measurement of S-phase fraction by flow cytometry was also performed. By univariate analysis, the histological tumour type …
Echoes of childhood : exploring childhood territories in the works of Sylvie Germain
2013
The work of Sylvie Germain is pervaded by numerous mythical and biblical references, which causes the reader to be immersed in a polyphonic process. It appears as a relevant field of study to raise questions related to both origin and family, equally structured by complex lineage bonds, lines of descent and alliances. It can become the stage on which individual and collective dramas are performed; murders are contrived under the appearance of luminous adoptions. The work of Sylvie Germain echoes the world’s disasters and leads the reader to perceive the ebb and flow of genealogy affecting all relatives in a dim or deafening manner. This study explores the situation of violence based on a th…
Zirkadiane Serotonin- und Melatonin-Serumspiegel bei Anorexia-nervosa-Patientinnen im Vergleich zu normal-menstruierenden Frauen
1996
Day and night rhythms of melatonin and serotonin were measured in four female anorexia nervosa patients and for comparison in a control group with normal 28-day menstrual cycle. In the anorexia nervosa group the levels of gonadotropins and sexual steroids were distinctly lowered. In the LHRH test the hormonal profile showed pubertal to prepubertal patterns of secretion with an only moderate increase of LH and distinct shifting of the LH/FSH ratio in direction of FSH. For both groups the 24-hour profiles of melatonin and serotonin showed a normal cycle, i.e. melatonin had its maximum by night, whereas serotonin in contrast displayed its highest values by day. However, in the group of patient…
El cuerpo materno en la red: entre el orden de lo ?deseable? y el de lo real
2019
El estilo de vida fitness se realiza en, y a través de, un entramado subjetivo y de poder en el que circulan y se ensamblan dispositivos empresariales, terapéuticos, sanitarios y de espectacularización de los cuerpos, tendientes a inscribir la vida de la población en las tramas conflictivas de un capitalismo heterosexista, neoliberal e informacional. En dicho marco, la temporalidad, metamorfosis y plasticidad del cuerpo materno irrumpe como problema y objeto de intervención de tecnologías diversas orientadas a ajustar su tamaño, forma y devenir a los parámetros de la vida activa y saludable. En escenarios digitales, dicha tensión se materializa, por un lado, a través de dispositivos visuale…
Ciència i moral. En els orígens de la maternitat totalitzant
2012
En la construcció i difusió com a model normatiu d’una imatge de la maternitat entesa com a vocació totalitzant, tasca exclusiva, destí natural i plena realització de les dones, el discurs científic, i de manera molt especial, el mèdic, ha exercit un paper clau. Explorarem els orígens d’aquest model en els textos mèdics divulgatius i la literatura de ficció del segle XVIII.
Data from: Investigating hybridization between the two sibling bat species Myotis myotis and M. blythii from guano in a natural mixed maternity colony
2017
Because they can form seasonal mixed-species groups during mating and maternal care, bats are exciting models for studying interspecific hybridization. Myotis myotis and M. blythii are genetically close and morphologically almost identical, but they differ in some aspects of their ecology and life-history traits. When they occur in sympatry, they often form large mixed maternity colonies, in which their relative abundance can vary across time due to a shift in the timing of parturition. For the first time, we used non-invasive genetic methods to assess the hybridization rate and colony composition in a maternity colony of M. myotis and M. blythii located in the French Alps. Bat guano was co…
Influence of the Preoperative Decision-Making Process on the Postoperative Outcome after Hysterectomy for Benign Uterine Pathologies.
2016
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess whether the preoperative decision-making process might influence treatment success in premenopausal women undergoing hysterectomy for benign uterine pathologies Materials and Methods: All premenopausal women treated with hysterectomy for benign uterine pathologies between April 2011 and June 2013 at a tertiary university center were enrolled in this prospective observational cohort study. Five parameters of the preoperative decision-making process were assessed upon their correlation with postoperative quality of life, sexual function and patientsʼ satisfaction. These outcome measures were assessed for the pre- and postoperative (six months …
Three-dimensional/four-dimensional transperineal ultrasound: clinical utility and future prospects.
2017
During the last decade, there has been a huge advancement in the use of transperineal ultrasound (TPU) in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. Its main applications in obstetrics include the monitoring of fetal progression in labor and recently the assessment of maternal pelvic dimensions, whereas in gynecology, TPU is at present widely used for the evaluation of the female pelvic floor, opening new boundaries for the assessment of pelvic floor disorders. The association of volumetric three-dimensional techniques has largely contributed to the remarkable progress that has occurred in the use of TPU. The aim of this paper is to offer an overview of the advantages, challenges and future pe…
