This article is about a new medical therapy, Dermodialysis to replace the common, randomly performed traditional non-scientific methods such as cupping therapy as the treatment of choice for a new illness I named it "Bad Blood Syndrome", a syndrome described with its treatment for the first time in Medicine which can explain and resolve many idiopathic and non-treatable illnesses as well as unusual or un-expected complications after a simple surgical procedure (*). The presence of the Bad Blood in any organ can compromise the immune system which is the main reason of disease prolongations or even deaths due to an illness in most patients. Dermodialysis is the best treatment for the current COVID-19 pandemic and it can save the world from this global crisis especially at this critical time when the vaccine is still under research and yet not promising to be effective. es the quality of life and no more requirement for Renal Transplantation.

According to the common sense, experts, backed up by scientific methods, describe the “possible states of the world” in a value-neutral way. Then, in the political arena, delegates build on these proposals, but also consider values and interests. The present paper attempts to revise such an understanding of local economic development (LED) and argues that many of the deficiencies deriving from such a view can be remedied by deliberative participation, which is not merely a theoretical necessity, but also a practical possibility.With regard to the issue of public participation and deliberation, the paper identifies two main approaches in the LED literature: the “political” and the “apolitical”, of which the latter is mainly characterised by economic theorising. We take a closer look at the “apolitical” approach and demonstrate that in fact it is very much political. Therefore, we call for the transgression of the borderline between politics and expertise in LED, and suggest a joint democratisation of these interrelated terrains. We argue that deliberative participation is able to contribute to the quality of both the expert proposals and the working of the politics.

The article aims to explore the concepts of attitude and expressed emotion in the modern foreign and domestic Psychology.The study applies the method of theoretical comparative analysis. The common and different features of the concepts of attitude and expressed emotion were revealed according to the parameters, particularly content of the concepts, the first application, theoretical approaches and models, methods and measures of the research, subjects, objects and main features.The results of the study indicate that expressed emotion include warmth, hostility, criticism and emotional overwhelming, while attitude is represented by attitude towards self, others and the world. The results also show that attitude is deeply connected with personality’s values, while expressed emotion is mostly related to the attitude towards others. The study indicates that expressed emotion and attitude have a great impact on quality of life of the individuals with medical conditions. The results also indicate that the main features for attitude are modality (negative, positive, ambivalent), range and intensity, while the main features for expressed emotion are modality (positive, negative) and level (high, medium, low). The conclusion of the article underlines that the main problem aligned with expressed emotion study is the many of empirical results and the lack of methodological basis to generalize it. From this perspective the methodological basis for research of the category of attitude is the most appropriate. The prospects of the study are to develop the methodological basis for research of the category of attitude in the context of expressed emotion towards individuals with medical condition.Key words: expressed emotion, attitude, attitude towards self, others and the world, individuals with medical condition. Метою роботи є здійснення теоретичного зіставного аналізу конструкту емоційної експресивності та категорії ставлення в сучасній зарубіжній і вітчизняній літературі. Методом дослідження є теоретичне вивчення літератури в сукупності аналізу, синтезу та узагальнення.Результати дослідження свідчать про те, що категорія ставлення пов’язана із ціннісно-смисловою сферою особистості та визначається ставленням до себе, до інших і до світу. Виокремлено поняття експресивної емоційності як сукупності теплоти, критичності, емоційної гіперопіки та ворожості. Встановлено негативний вплив емоційної експресивності на якість життя особи з хронічними захворюваннями. З’ясовано, що наявні емпіричні дані, представлені в сучасних зарубіжних дослідженнях, важко концептуалізуються через брак єдиного методологічного підходу до дослідження емоційної експресивності, незважаючи на достатню кількість методик для її експериментального вивчення. У висновках дослідження представлено спільні й відмінні ознаки ставлення та емоційної експресивності за такими критеріями, як зміст понять, історія виникнення, теоретичні підходи й моделі, методи дослідження, суб’єкти, об’єкти, параметри. Визначено, що найважливішою відмінністю цих понять є ширший діапазон ставлення порівняно з емоційною експресивністю, а також зв’язок ставлення із ціннісно-смисловою сферою особистості. У цьому контексті вагомого значення набуває поняття самоставлення, яке слугує причиною високого рівня емоційної експресивності щодо інших. Попри можливе існування значної кількості об’єктів ставлення, у контексті нашого дослідження провідного значення набувають об’єкти здоров’я та хвороби, оскільки саме вони пов’язані з рівнем емоційної експресивності. Іншим важливим аспектом є види емоційної експресивності в межах категорії ставлення та їхні параметри. Найбільш поширеними для опису емоційної експресивності вважаються модуси та рівні, тоді як для визначення категорії ставлення оперують параметрами модусу, інтенсивності і широти. Перспективами дослідження є комплексне вивчення емоційної експресивності з виробленням методологічних засад дослідження та з огляду на вивчення категорії ставлення, а також підходи рис особистості, каузальної атрибуції і діатезного стресу.Ключові слова: емоційна експресивність, ставлення, ставлення до себе, ставлення до інших, ставлення до світу, особи з хронічними захворюваннями.

Currently, the problem of early rehabilitation of stroke patients is important, since in terms of the prevalence of cerebrovascular diseases and disability after suffering a stroke, Russia is one of the first places in the world. The complex of medical rehabilitation of such patients should provide for the early and most complete restoration of all body functions, patient education for lost skills, re-socialization of the patient and improvement of the quality of life. One of the factors contributing to a significant reduction in the quality of life after a stroke is the development of chronic constipation. The article reflects the modern methods of correction of chronic constipation in patients with limited mobility.

Subject. The article reviews the way strategic threats to energy security influence the quality of people's life. Objectives. The study unfolds the theory of analyzing strategic threats to energy security by covering the matter of quality of people's life. Methods. To analyze the way strategic threats to energy security spread across cross-sectoral commodity and production chains and influences quality of people's living, I applied the factor analysis and general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis. Results. I suggest interpreting strategic threats to energy security as risks of people's quality of life due to a reduction in the volume of energy supply. I identified mechanisms reflecting how the fuel and energy complex and its development influence the quality of people's life. The article sets out the method to assess such quality-of-life risks arising from strategic threats to energy security. Conclusions and Relevance. In the current geopolitical situation, strategic threats to energy security cause long-standing adverse consequences for the quality of people's life. If strategic threats to energy security are further construed as risk of quality of people's life, this will facilitate the preparation and performance of a more effective governmental policy on energy, which will subsequently raise the economic well-being of people.

: Melanoma is the most life-threatening and aggressive class of skin malignancies. The incidence of melanoma has steadily increased. Metastatic melanoma is greatly resistant to standard anti-melanomatreatments such as chemotherapy, and 5-year survival rate of cases with melanoma who have metastatic form of disease is less than 10%. The contributing role of apoptosis, angiogenesis and autophagy in the pathophysiology of melanoma has been previously demonstrated. Thus, it is extremely urgent to search for complementary therapeutic approachesthat couldenhance the quality of life of subjects and reduce treatment resistance and adverse effects. Resveratrol, known as a polyphenol component present in grapes and some plants, has anti-cancer properties due to its function as an apoptosis inducer in tumor cells, and anti-angiogenic agent to prevent metastasis. However, more clinical trials should be conducted to prove resveratrol efficacy. : Herein, for first time, we summarize current knowledge of anti-cancerous activities of resveratrol in melanoma.

This chapter deals with Indian ‘innovations for the millions’ (I4M)—new products, processes, and institutional arrangements—that sustainably improve the quality of life of those at the base of the pyramid. Taking ten examples which originated from the private, public, NGO and cooperative sectors, the chapter suggests that these innovations are a response of the ‘elite of calling’ to the Indian paradox – high growth in a large economy, co-existing with a very large number at the base of the pyramid. The chapter argues that a more supportive ecosystem needs to be built to foster I4M, including reforms in regulation and taxation, and attracting bright young people. If that happens Indian I4M can serve billions at the base of the pyramid around the world.

The Aesthetic

This chapter argues for the importance of cultivating aesthetic literacy and vigilance, as well as practicing aesthetic expressions of moral virtues. In light of the considerable power of the aesthetic to affect, sometimes determine, people’s choices, decisions, and actions in daily life, everyday aesthetics discourse has a social responsibility to guide its power toward enriching personal life, facilitating respectful and satisfying interpersonal relationships, creating a civil and humane society, and ensuring the sustainable future. As an aesthetics discourse, its distinct domain unencumbered by these life concerns needs to be protected. At the same time, denying or ignoring the connection with them decontextualizes and marginalizes aesthetics. Aesthetics is an indispensable instrument for assessing and improving the quality of life and the state of the world, and it behooves everyday aesthetics discourse to reclaim its rightful place and to actively engage with the world-making project.

Abstract Background Prevalence of hearing loss increases with age. Its estimated prevalence is 40–50 % in people over 75 years of age. Recent studies agree that declinein hearing threshold contribute to deterioration in sociality, sensitivity, cognition, and quality of life for elderly subjects. The aim of the study presented in this paper is to verify whether or not rehabilitation using first time applied Hearing Aids (HA) in a cohort of old people with hearing impairment improves both speech perception in a noisy environment over time and the overall health-related quality of life. Methods The monocentric, prospective, repeated measurements, single-subject, clinical observational study is to recruit 100 older adults, first-time HA recipients (≥ 65 years).The evaluation protocol is designed to analyze changes in specific measurement tools a year after the first HA usage in comparison with the evaluation before HA fitting. Evaluations will consist of multiparametric details collected through self-report questionnaires completed by the recipients and a series of commonly used audiometric measures and geriatric assessment tools. The primary indicator of changes in speech perception in noise to be used is the Italian version of Oldenburg Satz (OLSA) test whereas the indicator of changes in overall quality of life will be the Assessment of Quality of Life (AQoL) and Hearing Handicap Inventory for the Elderly (HHIE) questionnaires. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) will help in screening the cognitive state of the subjects. Discussion The protocol is designed to make use of measurement tools that have already been applied to the hearing-impaired population in order to compare the effects of HA rehabilitation in the older adults immediately before first HA usage (Pre) and after 1 year of experience (Post). This broad approach will lead to a greater understanding of how useful hearing influences the quality of life in older individuals, and therefore improves potentials for healthy aging. The data is to be analyzed by using an intrasubject endpoint comparison. Outcomes will be described and analyzed in detail. Trial registration This research was retrospectively registered underno. NCT04333043at ClinicalTrials.gov (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/) on the 26 March 2020. This research has been registered with the Ethics Committee of the Area Vasta Emilia Nord under number 104, date of approval 17/07/2017.

We share our experience on the implementation of a multidisciplinary aerodigestive program comprising an aerodigestive team (ADT) so as to evaluate its feasibility. We performed a retrospective chart review of the patients discussed at the monthly ADT meetings and analyzed the data. A total of 98 children were referred to the ADT during the study period. The number of cases increased steadily from 3.5 cases per month in 2019 to 8.5 cases per month in 2020. The median age of patients was 34.5 months, and 55% were male. Among the chronic comorbidities, neurologic disease was the most common (85%), followed by respiratory (36%) and cardiac (13%) disorders. The common reasons for consultation were suspected aspiration (56%), respiratory difficulty (44%), drooling/stertor (30%), regurgitation/vomiting (18%), and feeding/swallowing difficulty (17%). Following discussions, 58 patients received active interventions, including fundoplication, gastrostomy, laryngomicrosurgery, tracheostomy, and primary dilatation of the airway. According to the questionnaire of the caregiver, the majority agreed that the main symptoms and quality of life of patients had improved (88%), reducing the burden on caregivers (77%). Aerodigestive programs may provide comprehensive and multidisciplinary management for children with complex airway and digestive tract disorders.
