Angst als Textspur und Bildspur in Graphic Novels zum historischen Geschehen des 20. Jahrhunderts
2020
Neben vielen anderen Charakterisierungen, etwa ‚Jahrhundert der Diktatoren‘, ist für das 20. Jahrhundert wahrscheinlich auch die Formulierung ‚Jahrhundert der Angst‘ gerechtfertigt. Dieser Beitrag ist ein erster Versuch, die Darstellung von Angst in verbal-piktoralen Narrativen zu erschließen. Text- und Bildspuren zu Angst – politisch genutzte Techniken der Angsterzeugung einerseits und bis zu dauerhafter Traumatisierung gehende Angsterfahrung andererseits – sind in vielen Graphic Novels zur Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts ein wesentliches Deutungsangebot. Obwohl ästhetisch und intellektuell anspruchsvoll, somit ein Angebot zur Aufarbeitung von Geschichte, ist diese Fokussierung von Angst d…
Progress through the Early Stages of Assimilation in Play Therapy with a Traumatized Six-Year-Old Girl
2021
We applied the assimilation of problematic experiences sequence (APES) to a six-year-old girl’s processing of traumatic experiences involving violence and death in play therapy. We analyzed the post-session notes from the first 34 sessions of a much longer treatment, during which the girl repeatedly enacted a drama we called the cottage play, involving characters assumed by the child and characters assigned to the therapist. We distinguished four phases based on changes in play themes. In phase 1, the girl expressed her need for safety in response to an overwhelming internal threat (APES stage 0, warded off/dissociated). In phase 2, she worked to escape and avoid the threat, referenced in t…
Lethal rupture of post-traumatic aneurysm of the vertebral artery case report.
2009
Abstract Traumatic aneurysms or dissections of the vertebral artery have been reported in patients who have suffered minor craniofacial injuries in traffic accidents. A case is reported of ruptured traumatic vertebral artery aneurysm due to closed head injury without without penetrating injuries or skull fractures. The macroscopic and histological findings relevant to the vertebral wall were compatible with post-traumatic aneurysm; the rupture of the wall was assumed to be caused by sepsis and local infiltration of inflammatory cells.
Concept and Treatment of Hydrocephalus in the Greco-Roman and Early Arabic Medicine
2007
In the ancient medical literature hydrocephalus was not often described although its existence and symptomatology were well known. Most detailed descriptions of hydrocephalus including the surgical treatment are extant in the encyclopaedic works on medicine of the physicians Oreibasios and Aetios from Amida from the 4th and 6th centuries AD, respectively. Because of their broad scientific interests, this type of physicians, typical for the late Roman empire, were known as philosophy-physicians (iota alpha tau rho o sigma o phi iota sigma tau alpha iota). They defined hydrocephalus in contrast to our present understanding as a fluid collection excluding abscesses visible as a bulging tumour …
Erythropoietin in Traumatic Brain Injury: An Answer Will Come Soon
2015
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. It is estimated that each year TBIs are associated with 1.1 million emergency department visits, 235,000 hospitalizations, and 50,000 deaths (1). Despite improvements in medical interventions, there are still no neuroprotective agents available to counteract secondary or delayed damage to the traumatically injured human brain or to promote its repair. TBI encompasses heterogeneous etiologic, anatomical, and molecular patterns of injury that exhibit different propensities to cause cerebral damage. Without careful consideration of individual injuries, the results of therapeutic trials remain difficu…
Children and Coronavirus Infection (Covid-19): What to Tell Children to Avoid Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
2020
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a condition that can develop in subjects who have been or have witnessed a traumatic, catastrophic or violent event, or who have become aware of a traumatic experience that happened to a loved one. Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) usually begins immediately after the traumatic event and lasts from three days to a month, while Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may be the continuation of an acute stress disorder and it may happen that it does not develop until 6 months after the event itself. Generally most people overcome the shock that a blatant event can cause without the need for additional support. In a percentage of cases, the victim's suffering c…
Worsening of pre-existing psychiatric conditions during the COVID-19 pandemic
2020
This study anonymously examined 2,734 psychiatric patients worldwide for worsening of their pre-existing psychiatric condition during the COVID-19 pandemic. Valid responses mainly from 12 featured countries indicated self-reported worsening of psychiatric conditions in 2/3rd of the patients assessed that was validated through their significantly higher scores on scales for general psychological disturbance, post-traumatic stress disorder, and depression. Female gender, feeling no control of the situation and reporting dissatisfaction with the response of the state during the COVID-19 pandemic, and reduced interaction with family and friends increased the worsening of pre-existing psychiatri…
Different profiles of mental and physical health and stress hormone response in women victims of intimate partner violence
2014
Abstract Objectives To analyse the individual differences in the impact that intimate male partner violence (IPV) has on a woman's depressive and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptomatology, and to determine the association of the different profiles of mental dysfunction with cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) basal saliva levels as well as physical health symptoms. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out in which IPV victims (n=73) and control non-abused (n=31) women participated. Information was obtained through structured interviews and saliva samples were collected for hormonal assays under baseline conditions. Results There were three profiles of mental symptoms…
Occurrence and timing of complications following traumatic dental injuries: A retrospective study in a dental trauma department
2016
Background This study explores the pattern of complications occurrence resulting from traumatic dental injuries, the relation of this pattern to the number of years from the time of the injury to its first diagnosis, and other contributing characteristics such as root development and trauma characteristic. Material and Methods Patients’ data treated following dental trauma from 2002 to 2014 were classified and grouped according to age, gender, tooth type, injury type, diagnosis and the time that elapsed between the traumatic event and the diagnosis of complications (TIC). The distribution function of the quantitative parameters was determined with the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Fisher exact t…
Identification and description of controlled clinical trials published in Physiotherapy journals in Spain
2015
Rationale and objectives The quantity and quality of research in physiotherapy has increased exponentially during the past decades. However, retrieving publications associated with this field of research is difficult. The aim of this study is to identify and describe controlled clinical trials (CCT) published in Spanish physiotherapy journals using electronic and handsearching strategies. Method Observational study through which we identified eligible journals in order to retrieve CCTs using electronic and handsearching strategies, as proposed by the Cochrane Collaboration. A descriptive analysis of the main characteristics of these CCTs was completed. Results Seventy-eight CCTs were identi…
