The term “phenomenology” was imported into psychiatry from the field of philosophy. I intend to give a brief and necessarily simplified account of its philosophical background, the various meanings applied to it, and some of the clinical implications following from it.

SummaryBlood was injected into the brains of dogs to produce artificial haematomas, and paraffin injected to produce intracerebral paraffin masses. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and peripheral blood samples were withdrawn at regular intervals and their fibrinolytic activities estimated by the fibrin plate method. Trans-form aminomethylcyclohexane-carboxylic acid (t-AMCHA) was administered to some individuals. Genera] relationships were found between changes in CSF fibrinolytic activity, area of tissue damage and survival time. t-AMCHA was clearly beneficial to those animals given a programme of administration. Tissue activator was extracted from the brain tissue after death or sacrifice for haematoma examination. The possible role of tissue activator in relation to haematoma development, and clinical implications of the results, are discussed.

Some scholars have responded to the apparent differences between monistic and theistic mysticisms by emphasizing the role of socio-religious interpretations of the experiences. Both monistic and theistic experiences, they point out, are described as wholly unlike normal sensory events. These mystics claim to go beyond the usual categories of cognition; the experiences are said to be spaceless and timeless realizations which, though not strictly ineffable, defy precise and positive description. Moreover, the mystical exercises – the spiritual training and mental preparation – seem similar for both theistic and monistic mystics. Common mystical means, along with the cessation of normal categories of interpretation during the experiences, suggest that mystics interpret a singular experience type according to their particular theological or philosophical background.

COVID-19 pandemic has profoundly affected the lives of humans worldwide. We no longer experience the same quality of life and need to come up with effective solutions to combat the clinical implications. The vast knowledge about the pathways that regulate the virus entry and molecular signaling of the pathogenesis of coronavirus are the key factor for the development of de novo diagnostic/therapeutic strategies. Meanwhile, the emergence of nanotechnology, could offer enormous help in the battle against coronavirus. In this editorial, the role of molecular elements in the pathobiology of the disease and the significance of nanoscaled pharmaceuticals is highlighted.
