Medical and Physical Therapy (Hyperthermia) in Bph

Medical treatment has a high placebo effect depending on the dynamic and/or obstructive nature of fibroleiomyoadenomatous hypertrophy in which the fibromuscular component may be three times as much as the epithelial one (Clark 1937). It is an indubitable fact that androgynoid transexuals do not develop BPH. This means that hormonal balance is fundamental for BPH control, both direct and through growth factors. The following medicines can be used in growth control: hormones, antihormones, organ extracts, vegetable extracts, anticholesteremics. Hormones are testosterone and its active DHT form, oestrogens, progestogens and their inhibitors, pituitary antiandrogens. The following are not to be discarded: organ and vegetable extracts, anticholesteremic antibiotics, long-term use anticholesteremics. Vasoplegic, ganglioplegic, antireceptory and parasympathomimetic drugs are used as symptomatic ones such as: prostaglandin, bethanechol, prazosin, alphuzosin. A specific temperature rise of the prostate obtained through microwaves (hyperthermia up to 11 °/45°C or up to 70° by thermotherapy) offers a 50% improvement rate. It is confirmed that medical or physical therapy is advisable in the initial stages or in very high risk cases: the placebo effect is remarkable and the ideal drug still has to be found.

Sivash bay is the shallow-water lagoon of the Azov Sea. Restricted water exchange and high evaporation form Sivash as the basin with very high salinity. This factor leads to different from the Azov Sea thermal and ice regimes of Sivash. Maine aim of the study presented to investigate recent state and changes of the characteristics and processes in the basin using satellite data. Landsat scanners TM, ETM+, OLI, TIRS together with MODIS and AVHRR were used. Additionally NOMADS NOAA and MERRA meteorological data were analyzed. The next topics are discussed in the work: 1. Changes of the sea surface temperature, ice regime and relation with salinity. 2. Coastal line transformation – long term and seasonal, wind impact. 3. Manifestation of the Azov waters intrusions through the Arabat spit, preferable wind conditions.

Future Growth

Positive emotions include pleasant or desirable situational responses, ranging from interest and contentment to love and joy, but are distinct from pleasurable sensation and undifferentiated positive affect. These emotions are markers of people's overall well-being or happiness, but they also enhance future growth and success. This has been demonstrated in work, school, relationships, mental and physical health, and longevity. The broaden-and-build theory of positive emotions suggests that all positive emotions lead to broadened repertoires of thoughts and actions and that broadening helps build resources that contribute to future success. Unlike negative emotions, which are adapted to provide a rapid response to a focal threat, positive emotions occur in safe or controllable situations and lead more diffusely to seeking new resources or consolidating gains. These resources outlast the temporary emotional state and contribute to later success and survival. This chapter discusses the nature of positive emotions both as evolutionary adaptations to build resources and as appraisals of a situation as desirable or rich in resources. We discuss the methodological challenges of evoking positive emotions for study both in the lab and in the field and issues in observing both short-term (“broaden”) and long-term (“build”) effects. We then review the evidence that positive emotions broaden perception, attention, motivation, reasoning, and social cognition and ways in which these may be linked to positive emotions' effects on important life outcomes. We also discuss and contextualize evidence that positive emotions may be detrimental at very high levels or in certain situations. We close by discussing ways in which positive emotions theory can be harnessed by both basic and applied positive psychology research.

AbstractAdvances in medical management of Parkinson's disease (PD) have resulted in living longer with disability. Although disability worsens over the course of the disease, there are signs of disability even in the early stages. Several studies reveal an early decline in gait and balance and a high prevalence of nonmotor signs in the prodromal period that contribute to early disability. There is a growing body of evidence revealing the benefits of physical therapy and exercise to mitigate motor and nonmotor signs while improving physical function and reducing disability. The presence of early disability coupled with the benefits of exercise suggests that physical therapy should be initiated earlier in the disease. In this review, we present the evidence revealing early disability in PD and the effectiveness of physical therapy and exercise, followed by a discussion of a secondary prevention model of rehabilitation to reduce early disability and optimize long-term outcomes.

The Ideal

Nanoporous gold was fabricated by dealloying and their pore characteristics were further modified by thermal or acid treatment. The fabricated nanoporous gold had a ligament size of approximately 5 nm. Thermal treatment on the nanoporous gold increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm. During the thermal treatment, ligaments are bonded across the cracks which had been generated during the dealloying. Acid treatment also increased the ligament size to approximately 500 nm; however, the acid treatment had a different effect on the pore characteristics from the thermal treatment. As a result, nanoporous gold prism microassembly with anisotropic structure was spontaneously fabricated by the acid treatment. The mechanical properties of nanoporous gold were also examined. It is estimated that the yield strength of nanosized ligaments in nanoporous gold is very high and close to the ideal strength of gold.
