Chapter 41 discusses a kind of in vivo case study of the interactions between science and extra-scientific processes involved in the construction of nosological categories of psychiatry. The very first medical report on a cluster of symptoms, regularly affecting some women over their menstrual cycle, the so-called syndrome of premenstrual tension, appeared in 1931. The name changed with time to premenstrual syndrome, subsequently renamed as late luteal phase dysphoric disorder (LLPDD) and is currently known as premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). It was listed as a psychiatric disorder in the DSM-III, but was later moved to the section on the condition deserving further study (aka the “appendix”). In the DSM-5, PMDD returned to the main section of the manual devoted to depressive disorders as a diagnosis approved for routine clinical use. The PDD is an ideal-type condition to stimulate a controversy about its justification as a psychiatric disorder. By its nature it affects only females (here, feminist issues may arise); it is clearly linked to physiological rhythm (is it not a somatic issue?); does it exist as a distinct behavioral abnormality or is it just a variant of female experience?: does it need to be treated pharmacologically? (the issues of medicalization and “big pharma”). It provides a detailed narrative on the vicissitudes of this psychiatric nosological category, which is not only based on a careful study by interested outsiders but is crucially enriched by the insights of one of the participants of the very process of DSM construction.

Persistent Depressive Disorder

This review discusses the changes in the diagnostic criteria for depressive disorders as outlined in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5), and recent findings exploring the etiology of and treatment strategies for these disorders. Depressive disorders are typically characterized by depression in the absence of a lifetime history of mania or hypomania. New developments in the DSM-5 include the recognition of new types of depressive disorders, such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder, persistent depressive disorder, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and the addition of catatonic features as a specifier for persistent depressive disorder. These diagnostic changes have important implications for the prognosis and treatment of this condition. A thorough understanding of both the clinical phenotype and the biosignature of these conditions is essential to provide individualized, long-term, effective treatments to affected individuals.  This review contains 1 table and 52 references Key words: brain volumes, depressive disorders, DSM-5, hormones, inflammation, neuropeptides, somatic therapy, stress

Abstract Background: Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD)-is a severe and disabling form of premenstrual Syndrome affecting 3-8% of menstruating women. The disorder consists of a cluster of affective, behavioral and somatic symptoms that recur monthly during the luteal phase the menstrual cycle. Premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) was added to the list of depressive disorders in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders in 2013. The exact pathogenesis of the disorder is still unclear.Objective: To assess the prevalence of PMDD and its associated factors among students of Hawassa tabor secondary and preparatory school.Method: A cross sectional institutional based was conducted among 351 randomly selected female students of Hawassa tabor school. Data was collected by three students were facilitate the works with closed ended structured questionnaire and they was trained on how to collect the data. The collected data was entered, analyzed and cleaned by SPS.Results: prevalence of premenstrual dysphoric disorder in this study was 76.9%. Of each symptom is more than ninety present or 324 (92.3%) respondents can’t have experience unpleasant physical or emotional symptoms peculiar to the five days before the onset of menses & 27(7.7%) participants have show the symptoms. Among those 26 (7.4%) have present for the past ≥3 consecutive cycles. 46 (13.1%) have family history of such symptoms.Conclusions: These findings have implications for both women and medical providers, who should be aware that PMS symptoms are prevalent and often distressing, yet also understand that the severity of symptoms may remit over time.

This article uses the “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” segment on late-night talk show Jimmy Kimmel Live! as a case study in how television can remediate social media to maintain its dominant position in entertainment. The incorporation of tweets into television appears to demonstrate the power social media has over broadcast media, but a careful study reveals that television and film celebrities use television appearances to denounce “mean tweets” as an example of frenzied and cacophonous social media. Drawing on the history of the televised celebrity roast, I argue that contemporary roasts resemble Internet trolling while segments like “Celebrities Read Mean Tweets” embody the spirit of historical roasts by granting celebrities the opportunity to laugh at jokes about themselves. Thus, the segment reiterates the hierarchical position of “old media”: television as a source of comfort and clarity, and the Hollywood celebrity as the epicenter of culture.

Abstract Introduction/Objective Kidd antigens can bind complement (C3) as well as Kidd specific warm autoantibodies (WAAb). An 838G>A single nucleotide variant (SNV) defines JK*01 and JK*02 which codes the antithetical Jka and Jk b, respectively. Both alleles translate the high prevalence (>99%) Jk3 (JK3). The 130G>A is associated with weak Jka and weak Jkb expression. In vivo binding of non-agglutinating globulins can cause false-negative phenotypes by means of the blocked antigen phenomenon (BAP). Methods/Case Report Transfusions were requested for a 74-year-old Caucasian (CA) female with Evan’s Syndrome, and an 85-year-old African American (AA) female with metastatic uterine cancer. Both had a history of nonspecific WAAb. Direct antiglobulin testing (DAT) detected moderate in vivo sensitization of IgG and C3. They phenotyped Jk(a- b-) with untreated and EDTA glycine-acid (EGA) treated IgG DAT-negative cells. Their serum contained anti-Jk3 reactivity, while a panreactive WAAb in the eluate reacted with Jk3- donor and EGA treated DAT-negative autologous cells. Weak anti-Jka and anti-Jkb reactivity remained in the alloadsorbed serum of the antithetical adsorbing cells. Genetic testing of the CA revealed JK*01W.01(130A)/02 alleles, while cDNA confirmed the alleles would be transcribed into mRNA. Sequencing of the AA detected 130G/A, and 838G/A as well as other silent mutations predicting either a Jk(a+wb+) or Jk(a+b+w) phenotype. The CA received one compatible JK:-3 transfusion, and both individuals benefited from multiple least incompatible transfusions of Jk a+ and/or Jk b+ donors with expected hemoglobin increases (1 g/dL per transfusion). The CA serologically phenotyped Jk(a-b+) 132 days later following prolonged immunosuppressive therapy while a normocytic normochromic anemia and the WAAb persisted. No follow up evaluations of the AA are available. Results (if a Case Study enter NA) NA Conclusion Unexpected BAP can confound immunohematology testing and lead WAAbs mimicking alloanti-Jk3 to be mischaracterized as allogeneic. By predicting phenotypes, genetic analysis can aid serological techniques in antibody characterization and help circumvent complications searching for rare JK:-3 donors.

This chapter explores movement and circulation across the Mediterranean and seeks to contribute to a history of proto-nationalism in the Maghrib and the Middle East at a particular moment prior to World War I. The discussion is particularly concerned with the interface of two Mediterranean spaces: the Middle East (Egypt, Ottoman Empire) and North Africa (Morocco), where the latter is viewed as a case study where resistance movements sought external allies as a way of compensating for their internal weakness. Applying methods developed by Subaltern Studies, and linking macro-historical approaches, namely of a translocal movement in the Muslim Mediterranean, it explores how the Egypt-based society, al-Ittihad al-Maghribi, through its agent, Aref Taher, used the press as an instrument for political propaganda, promoting its Pan-Islamic programme and its goal of uniting North Africa.
