Talking Cure

Although writing about the real relationship has existed from the beginnings of the talking cure,” it is only in recent years that empirical research has focused on this phenomenon. The real relationship is the personal relationship between patient and therapist marked by the extent to which each is genuine with the other and perceives/experiences the other in ways that are realistic. The strength of the real relationship is determined by both the extent to which it exists and the degree to which it is positive or favorable. In this chapter, a meta-analysis is presented on the association between the real relationship and the outcome of psychotherapy. Summed across 16 studies, this meta-analysis revealed a moderate association with outcome (r =.38, 95% confidence interval [.30, .47], p<.001, d = 0.80, N = 1,502 participants). This real relationship–outcome association was independent of the type of outcome studies and of the source of the measure. We also present frequent measures of the real relationship, limitations of the research, and patient contributions. The chapter concludes with diversity considerations and practice recommendations for developing and strengthening the real relationship.

Introduction: To explore whether the insertion (I) and deletion (D) polymorphism of angiotensin-converting enzyme ( ACE) confers susceptibility to vasculitis. Materials and methods: A meta-analysis was conducted on the associations between the ACE I/D polymorphism and vasculitis. Results: Twelve studies, including four on Behçet’s disease (BD), four on Henoch–Schenlein purpura (HSP), three on Kawasaki disease (KD), and one on Wegener’s granulomatosis, were available for the meta-analysis. Meta-analysis showed that the DD + ID genotype was associated with susceptibility to vasculitis (odds ratio [OR] 1.468, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.214–1.468, p = 7.4 × 10−5). The overall OR for the D allele was significantly increased in BD (OR 1.313, 95% CI 1.017–1.695). Meta-analysis of the DD+ID genotype, the DD genotype and the DD vs. II genotype showed marginal associations with BD, but meta-analysis of the D allele, and the DD+ID genotype showed significant associations with HSP (OR 1.446, 95% CI 1.021–2.049, p = 0.038; OR 1.881, 95% CI 1.385–2.595, p = 6.6 × 10−5). On the other hand, meta-analysis showed no association between KD and the ACE I/D polymorphism. Conclusions: This meta-analysis shows that the ACE I/D polymorphism is associated with vasculitis susceptibility, especially in BD and HSP.

Abstract Introduction: Given the practicality and low cost of elastic devices, a comparison with conventional devices may be able to quantify gains from both tools for further conclusions. Objective: Compare the effect of resistance training with elastic (tubes and resistance band) and conventional (weight machines and dumbbells) devices on body composition. Method: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis. The PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, PEDro and CENTRAL databases were searched from the earliest records to July 25, 2018. Data were described in standardized mean difference (SMD) with a 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results: Four studies were included. The results of the meta-analysis did not show superiority among the analyzed methods for the variables investigated (SMD = -2.04, 95% CI -7.56, 3.48, p < 0.00001, lean mass: SMD = 0.28, 95% CI -0.29, 0.85, p = 0.97, body fat: SMD = 2.77, 95% CI -0.05, 5.59, p = 0.92, body mass: SMD = 1.22, 95% CI -0.29, 2.74, p = 0.11). Conclusion: The results of the meta-analysis showed superiority of outcome from training in conventional devices only for the variable fat mass. For the other variables, no statistically significant differences were found. Elastic resistance can promote similar outcomes to resistance in different population profiles and from various protocols on variables related to body composition.

Abstract BackgroundOne of the common sustained cardiac arrhythmia disorders is atrial fibrillation (AF), nowadays, results concerning the associations between ZFHX3/PRRX1 genes and AF has been widely reported. A meta-analysis to confirm above associations is necessary to be carried out in time. MethodsThe PubMed, Embase and Wanfang databases were conducted for searching, covering all publications before 20th July, 2020. ResultsOverall, seven articles including 3,674 cases and 8,990 healthy controls about ZFHX3 rs2106261 and 1045 cases and 1407 controls for PRRX1 rs3903239 were included. Odds ratio (OR)[95% confidence interval (CI)] was applied to assess the associations. Publication bias was calculated by both Egger’s and Begg’s tests. After calculated, we found that ZFHX3 rs2106261 polymorphism potential increased AF risk in Asians (for example: allelic contrast: OR [95%CI]: 1.39[1.31-1.47], P < 0.001). Similarly, stratified analysis by source of control and genotype method, also increased associations were detected (for example: allelic contrast: OR[95%CI] = 1.51[1.38-1.64], P < 0.001 for HB; OR[95%CI]: 1.31[1.21-1.41], P < 0.001 for PB; OR[95%CI] = 1.55[1.33-1.80], P < 0.001 for TaqMan; OR[95%CI] = 1.31[1.21-1.41], P < 0.001 for HRM). On the other hand, decreased relationship was observed between PRRX1 rs3903239 polymorphism and AF risk (C-allele vs. T-allele: OR[95%CI] = 0.83[0.77-0.99], P = 0.036; CT vs. TT: OR[95%CI] = 0.79[0.67-0.94], P = 0.006). No obvious evidence of publication bias was found. ConclusionsIn summary, our study suggested that ZFHX3 rs2106261 and PRRX1 rs3903239 polymorphisms had positive associations with AF risk, more large case-controls must be carried out to confirm above conclusions.

The Right

Edmund Burke can perhaps be considered as the father of modern conservatism. Hannah Arendt was a very eclectic thinker who embraced ideas from the traditions of liberalism and republicanism. They both commented on the issue of the “Rights of Man” and rejected their abstract and metaphysical nature. And, it was Arendt who saw a ‘certain pragmatism’ in Burke’s ideas. Is this coincidence of opinion a surprising plot twist? An unintentional ‘alliance’ against the naturalness of the “Rights of Man?” This paper first discusses the real relationship between Burke’s and Arendt’s theories on human rights. In the first part, the ideas of the two thinkers are presented and examined. In the second part, the main convergences and divergences are identified. Through a careful reading of the Burkean and Arendtian corpus, it is shown that Arendt agreed with Burke that human rights cannot be abstract or metaphysical. On the other hand, Arendt, being autonomous in her critique, argued for one universal and inalienable right, that is ‘the right to have rights,’ i.e. the right to belong to political community. In overall, the analysis endeavors to provide an answer to the question as to what degree did Arendt endorse Burke’s theories on the “Rights of Man.”

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.
