Injection Anxiety

This chapter describes an optional treatment module on self-injection anxiety counselling (SIAC). This module is designed for patients who have needle anxiety and who rely on self-injection for the management of their illness. It presents basic information about self-injection anxiety, cognitive impairment, the anxiety response, subjective units of distress (SUDS) rating, the use of hierarchies, systematic desensitization, unhelpful thoughts, the actual injection process, and relapse prevention.

Clinical Diagnoses

The title of this Editorial, with apologies to Milan Kundera (Kundera, 1985) implies no lack of gravitas in the concept of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). Rather, it refers to the current definitions of MCI being somewhat free-floating, loosely anchored to diagnostic frameworks, and more conceptual than operational. In their defense, we cannot completely obliterate the flexibility clinicians need in order to exercise expert judgment and take individual patients’ circumstances into account when making clinical diagnoses. Further, it would be imprudent to prematurely codify diagnostic criteria for MCI; after all, we are still gathering basic information about the wide range of mildly impaired states that we encounter in different clinical settings and in the population at large.

Positive Results

Systematic desensitization using bodily responses other than relaxation as the specific anxiety inhibitor has produced positive results in phobic states. Jones (1924) used feeding, Wolpe (1969) advocated motor activity using a conditioned motor response, Ventis (1973) described a case where induced laughter was effective and Orwin (1971) paired the respiratory relief obtained after maximum voluntary respiratory arrest with the anxiety evoking stimuli. A derivation of this latter technique utilized the autonomic excitation caused by the vigorous physical exertion of running, to compete with the anxiety response in the agoraphobic syndrome (Orwin, 1973). This brief report describes an unusual situational phobia treated by this latter method (‘the running treatment’), following previous experience with simple claustrophobia.

Simple Systems

In comparison to many other fields of ultrastructural research in Cell Biology, the successful exploration of genes and gene activity with the electron microscope in higher organisms is a late conquest. Nucleic acid molecules of Prokaryotes could be successfully visualized already since the early sixties, thanks to the Kleinschmidt spreading technique - and much basic information was obtained concerning the shape, length, molecular weight of viral, mitochondrial and chloroplast nucleic acid. Later, additonal methods revealed denaturation profiles, distinction between single and double strandedness and the use of heteroduplexes-led to gene mapping of relatively simple systems carried out in close connection with other methods of molecular genetics.

African American Adults

Across the breadth of acquired neurogenic communication disorders, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) may go undetected, underreported, and untreated. In addition to stigma and distrust of healthcare systems, other barriers contribute to decreased identification, healthcare access, and service utilization for Hispanic and African American adults with MCI. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) have significant roles in prevention, education, management, and support of older adults, the population must susceptible to MCI.
