The Difference

Objective: Sexual dysfunction is a side effect of methadone maintenance therapy (MMT). Opium Tincture (OT) has been used as a maintenance treatment. This study aimed to determine and compare the trend of sexual function and its related factors during treatment with both drugs. Method: An observational study was designed to measure the blood tests including free and total testosterone, prolactin, and sex hormone-binding globulin and a battery of questionnaires, including demographics and drug use history, in 42 and 53 patients entering MMT and OT treatment before and 1 and 3 months after the treatment. Results: Significant changes in testosterone levels were observed in the MMT but not the OT group. The difference between the two groups was not significant. Neither between nor within changes in the sexual function and premature ejaculation scores were significant (P =0.370& 0.698). Anxiety levels were significantly different (P= 0.001) within and between groups. There was a considerable difference in the trend of depression changes in the OT group, but not different in MMT group and between the two groups. Conclusion: No difference was found between MMT and OT effects on sexual function variables. The decrease in Testosterone during the three months of MMT, was not associated with diminished sexual function. In the MMT group, anxiety levels diminished during treatment. It seems that decreased testosterone in the MMT group was compensated by improved anxiety. Gonadotropin levels may not be the sole determinant in sexual activity, and complex interaction of mood and anxiety, agonist levels, and gonadotropins are involved.

Anxiety Levels

This study expands the empirical and theoretical understanding of the distinction between those who perpetrate sexual assaults against children (child molesters) and those who perpetrate them against adults (rapists). Two questionnaires were completed by 88 incarcerated, male sexual offenders (45 child molesters and 43 rapists): the Spielberger state trait anxiety inventory and the Buss-Durkee hostility inventory. It was found that the rapists' level of aggression was significantly higher than that of the child molesters. No significant differences in anxiety levels were found between the two groups. The results are discussed in terms of their relevance to theory and clinical practice.

Pediatrics in South East Asia is still a very young field of medicine. Although pediatric departments under trained pediatricians were established in a few universities in the region as long as 25 years ago this has become general only in the course of the last decade. During this period formal teaching in child health and disease has become a required part of the undergraduate medical curriculum and although universities have often been quite inexplicably reluctant to include a section on pediatrics in the qualifying examination, medical students have been increasingly willing and even anxious to read suitable pediatric texts.

Reflex studies are an important part of clinical neurophysiology assessment in health and disease. They are essential to get information on conduction in proximal segments of peripheral nerves, spinal and supraspinal integration of sensory inputs on the motor pathway, and excitability of motor structures. They do not require special equipment, except for a sweep-triggering hammer that is essential, for instance, to elicit monosynaptic reflexes, such as the jaw jerk. For consensual reflexes, it is also recommended to use two recording channels, which facilitate recognition of potential disturbances in the afferent or efferent path of the reflex. What follows is a review of some of the most relevant reflexes that can be studied for neurophysiology assessment in clinical practice.

AbstractBackgroundThis study was designed to examine the effectiveness of program combining chakrayoga and meditation on the physical health and disease-related factors and psychological factors of people.MethodsNinety-seven subjects (32–83 years old) who had free from prior experiences in meditation programs or Chakrayoga training courses were assigned to either the experimental group (EXP) (45 subjects; 13 male subjects and 32 female subjects; average age of 60.67 years, SD=11.09 years) or the control group (CONT) of remaining subjects (52 subjects; 14 male subjects and 38 female subjects; average age of 61.58 years, SD=9.70 years). Subjects in the EXP participated in the Chakrayoga Meditation Program for twice a week for 2 h during 6 weeks in each session consisted of 1 h of Chakrayoga and 1 h of meditation. The measurements in this study included the mindfulness, stress response, subjective quality of life, medical symptom checklist, difficulty in emotional regulation and objective of life and sense of control.ResultsResults revealed that participants in the EXP reported significantly more relief of mindfulness, stress response, subjective quality of life and medical symptom checklist than those in the CONT.ConclusionsThese findings provide evidence that the Chakrayoga Meditation Program can help relieve the physical health and disease-related factors and psychological factors.
