Concentration Camp Survivors

Clinical observations of the families of concentration camp survivors presenting at a psychiatric outpatient department in a general hospital suggested that they manifested certain common characteristics distinguishing them from the general clinical population. These observations were subjected to a more systematic study. All the case material used in this study was taken from intake histories and diagnostic summaries. In the concentration camp families at least one parent had been in concentration camps during the war or had, up to the time of forced separation, been in close personal contact with members of his immediate family who eventually perished in the camps. All these families were Jewish. The control group consisted of families in which the parents were Jews of Central and Eastern European origin who did not have either of the two experiences listed as criteria for inclusion in the concentration camp group. As compared to the control families, the concentration camp parents manifested greater difficulties in self-control and in being able to control their children, and they showed a greater degree of overvaluation of the child. In families with more than one child, the children displayed a significantly greater degree of rivalry. No significant difference was found in the rate of occurrence of school problems but these tended to be less frequent in the concentration camp families. Examination of subgroups within the concentration camp group revealed that the most significant effects appeared to be attributable to the insurmountable process of mourning and the emotionally depleted state of the parents. The effects of concentration camps may conceivably manifest themselves in psychologically disturbed functioning of future generations.

The Mean

Background. Prisoners in Nazi concentration camps lived through extreme situations that included starvation. We test our hypothesis that there is a greater lifetime presence of binge eating among survivors from concentration camps than in a control group.Methods. The subjects were 51 political prisoners who survived Nazi concentration camps and 47 ex-partisans of similar age and sex. A clinical interview investigated the lifetime occurrence of binge eating. The Eating Attitudes Test was also administered.Results. The mean reported loss of weight among survivors was 27·3 kg. Thirty-three per cent of them and 4% of the ex-partisans reported going on eating binges at some time in their lives (P < 0·0007). There was no significant difference in the Eating Attitudes Test scores of survivors and ex-partisans, but, among survivors, the Bulimia subscale significantly discriminated subjects who reported current binge eating.Conclusions. Our study confirms that subjects who have survived a period of extreme food deprivation are more likely to develop binge eating behaviour.

The Impact

Background: High blood pressure is the most important public health problem in developed countries. It is one reason for early mortality and risk factors for cardiovascular diseases like stroke and kidney failure. This study aimed to determine the effect of educational intervention based on BASNEF in blood pressure control in 1395.Methods and Materials: This study was a quasi-experimental study on 160 patients in two groups (each n = 80) suffering from hypertension in urban health centers of Urmia. Data collection questionnaire included: demographic questions, knowledge base questions, self-control behaviors questions and structures of  BASNEF model. Validity and reliability were respectively 80% and 79%. Intervention group had taken three 45 minutes sessions using speeches, questions and answers, posters, booklets, pamphlets and whiteboard. Before training, information collected through questionnaires and after training questionnaires were completed again after 3 months. The data were analyzed in SPSS software with chi-square tests, Fisher, independent and paired sample t-test.Results: The average age of case and control group were  99.11 ± 01.56 and 75.12 ± 66.53 years. That there was no statistically significant difference (p=0.1). After intervention average systolic blood pressure significantly decreased in the intervention group from 43.157 to 24.147 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure significantly decreased from 21.93 to 52.87 mm Hg (P <0.05)Conclusion:  The training program using BASNEF model has provided better results in controlling blood pressure than conventional trainings.

This study was carried out to explore the effect of Aloe Vera leafgel in promoting wound healing and to investigate theantibacterial effect against some pathogenic bacteria in comparisonwith Nigella sativa oil. Standard dilutions of Aloe Vera leaf gel weremade from ten to one hundred percent and its antibacterial effecthad been examined in seeded agar method against Staphylococcusaureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa both were previously identifiedby laboratory and biochemical methods, Nigella Sativa oil which isknown to be one of the important medicinal plant was used forcomparison . Statistical analysis showed a significant difference(P<0.05) between AVG and Nigella Sativa oil.The effect of Aloe Vera leaf gel against Staph .aureus was morepotent than against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. There was aproportional relation between different concentrations of AVGwith the values of inhibition zones diameters of the bacteria.Results showed that Aloe Vera was more potent than Nigella sativaagainst both bacteria.The Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) was sixtymg/ml and the Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) waseighty mg/ml for Staph .aureus.In order to investigate the effect of Aloe Vera gel on woundhealing, twenty-four local male rabbits were used. They weredivided into four equal groups and each animal was wounded inboth sides of the back region by making a one by two centimetersquare standard longitudinal incision with surgical scalpel. Thefirst group was a control group (wounded without treatment); thisgroup was employed to observe the normal wound healing. Thesecond group was treated with crude Aloe Vera leaf gel twice dailyfor 10 days. While the third group was wounded and infected withthe pathogenic bacteria Staphylococcus vaureus without treatment,in order to observe the natural body defense against pathogenicmicroorganisms. The last group was infected with the samebacteria but treated with crude Aloe Vera leaf gel to observe theantibacterial effect. The wounds in the left side in second andfourth group were left as self-control.

Purpose: The bouba-kiki (BK) effect refers to associations between visual shapes and auditory pseudonames. Thus, when tested, people tend to associate the pseudowords bouba and kiki with round or spiky shapes, respectively. This association requires cross-modal sensory integration. The ability to integrate information from different sensory modalities is crucial for speech development. A clinical population that may be impaired in cross-modal sensory integration is children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). The purpose of this study was to examine the involvement of cross-modal sensory integration in children with (CAS). Method: The BK effect was assessed in participants with CAS ( n = 18) and two control groups: One control group was composed of children with developmental language disorder (DLD), also termed specific language impairment ( n = 15), and a second group included typically developing (TD) children ( n = 22). The children were presented with 14 pairs of novel visual displays and nonwords. All the children were asked to state which shape and nonword correspond to one another. In addition, background cognitive (Leiter-3) and language measures (Hebrew PLS-4) were determined for all children. Results: Children in the CAS group were less successful in associating between visual shapes and corresponding auditory pseudonames (e.g., associating the spoken word “bouba” with a round shape; the spoken word “kiki” with a spiky shape). Thus, children with CAS demonstrated a statistically significant reduced BK effect compared with participants with TD and participants with DLD. No significant difference was found between the TD group and the DLD group. Conclusions: The reduced BK effect in children with CAS supports the notion that cross-modal sensory integration may be altered in these children. Cross-modal sensory integration is the basis for speech production. Thus, difficulties in sensory integration may contribute to speech difficulties in CAS.

Learning environments such as web-based instruction require more learner self-control and proactive learning to construct knowledge and acquire skills. However, online students often fail to complete some components of their online work each week, damaging their overall academic progress in the course. To assist students in completion and submission of work, three professors at a public southeastern university implemented the use of a generalized assignments checklist to enhance student self-monitoring in their online courses. Data on the submission of assignments was analyzed for relative timeliness. The results of this study showed a statistically significant difference based on the checklist received students to the control group, with a marked improvement of assignment submission timeliness, improving course satisfaction for students and instructors.

Hematological Effects

✓ Valproate (VPA) is associated with a variety of idiosyncratic hematological effects including thrombocytopenia, inhibition of platelet aggregation, and fibrinogen depletion. This has led some investigators to recommend discontinuation of VPA therapy prior to elective surgical procedures. However, administration of VPA therapy is not altered prior to surgery at the authors' center and no VPA-associated bleeding complications have been observed. Therefore, a retrospective chart review was conducted to verify the clinical observations in patients who had undergone cortical resection while receiving antiepileptic drugs (AEDs). Baseline, surgical, and postoperative laboratory data were available for a total of 313 patients, 111 of whom were receiving VPA and 202 of whom were receiving AEDs without VPA (control patients). Eighty-seven percent of the patients receiving VPA were also being treated with at least one other AED. The control group was approximately equally divided between monotherapy (55%) and polytherapy (45%) treatments. Platelet counts were significantly lower in the control polytherapy (284 ± 74 × 109/L) and both VPA groups (279 ± 113 × 109/L) as compared with the control monotherapy group (314 ± 85 × 109/L). Baseline fibrinogen levels were significantly lower in the VPA than in the control groups (223 ± 91 g/dl vs. 278 ± 95 g/dl). Both pre- and postoperatively, the VPA group had lower red blood cells counts, hematocrit, and hemoglobin levels. There was no significant difference between groups in estimated blood loss during surgery or qualitative wound discharge postsurgery. There was only one case of a bleeding complication, which occurred 14 days postoperatively in a patient receiving carbamazepine monotherapy. The results of this study confirm the clinical observations of an absence of bleeding complications in patients receiving VPA therapy at the time of surgery, despite differences in laboratory parameters.

Abstract BackgroundA big portion of adolescent school children suffers from mental health problems. Low self-control and mindfulness are positively associated with poor mental health. Therefore, the present study was designed to assess the effect of Surya Namaskara (SN) on mental health, self-control, and mindfulness among school children.Method63(39 female and 24 male) students (mean age = 14.24 years and SD = 0.42 years) studying at 9th grade in a private school in Karnataka, India were recruited as participants of the study. The design of the present study was a non-randomized two arms design. Students in grade 9 section ‘A’ (N= 33) were selected as the intervention group. Whereas, students in grade 9 section ‘B’ (N = 30) were considered as a control group. Students in the intervention group were given SN for 15 days. The participants were administrated the Brief Self-control Scale (BSCS), Mindfulness, Attention and Awareness Scale for Adolescents (MAAS-A), and General Health Questionnaire-12 (GHQ-12) questionnaires on the baseline and after 15 days of intervention. ResultsFindings of the present study showed a significant difference in MAAS-A scores [F (1, 54) = 18.47, p < 0.001, ηp2 = 0.26] in within group comparison. There was also a significant interaction (Times*Groups) for BSCS [F (1, 54) = 4.89, p = 0.031, ηp2 = 0.08] and MAAS-A [F (1, 54) = 6.63, p = 0.013, ηp2 = 0.12] scores. Post-hoc analysis showed SN group has significantly high post BSCS score (p = 0.005) and MAAS-A score (p = 0.005) compared to control group. Similarly, there was a significant high BSCS score (p = 0.003) and MAAS-A score (p < 0.001) after SN intervention compare to their respective pre scores. There was no significant change in the GHQ-12 scores in both groups in pre-post comparison.ConclusionThe finding of the present study showed that SN improves self-control and mindfulness in adolescent school children. However, the results of the current study should be confirmed by future studies with robust research design, a large sample size, and advanced tools.

The Impact

The study aimed to investigate the impact of an 8-wk structured physical activity program on selected psychosocial behaviors of children with intellectual disabilities (ID) and to estimate whether generalization occurred. Thirty children (22 boys, 8 girls) with mild ID took part in the study. The ANCOVA results showed a significant difference between the training group and the control group in emotional self-control mean scores, F(1, 25) = 7.61, p = .011, with the posttest mean score of the training group being better than that of the control group. The correlation analysis showed a medium, positive correlation between the gain scores of emotional self-control in the training context and classroom context of the training group (r = .41, n = 16, p = .12). Hence, generalization appeared to have occurred.
