AbstractAlcohol is a hazardous product. Its consumption depends on the society’s drinking norms. These are set by advertising industries on the one hand, and forces of public health and medical services on the other hand. Germany is one of the countries with high alcohol consumption. According to epidemiological evidence, alcohol-attributable diseases include more than 200 diagnostic entities. Medical practitioners may help to reduce alcohol consumption. Data revealed that brief intervention, including computer-generated feedback in medical practice, is efficient in reducing consumption. It relieves the physician of counseling responsibilities.

ABSTRACTTaking as starting point the recent translation into Spanish of his book Confessions of a medicine man, his most personal and applauded work, this article reviews the work of Alfred I. Tauber, one of the most influential voices currently in U.S. medical humanities. Tauber’s work is already very extensive and presents a wide variety of themes, but it is possible to identify two main concerns: the attempt to justify and implement an alternative to autonomist ethics that today dominates the medical practice and decision making on the one hand; and on the other hand, the concern for the excessive penchant for science and technology that usually shows current medicine, which would have nothing objectionable if it had not sacrificed in a clumsy and unnecessary way the empathetic and humanist element characteristic of the art of caring.RESUMENTomando como punto de partida la reciente traducción al castellano de su libro Confesiones de un médico, su trabajo más personal y aplaudido, este artículo hace un repaso de la obra de Alfred I. Tauber, una de las voces más influyentes en la actualidad de las humanidades médicas norteamericanas. La obra de Tauber es ya muy extensa y de una gran variedad temática, pero es posible identificar las dos preocupaciones centrales que la animan: el intento de fundamentar e implantar una alternativa a la ética autonomista que a día de hoy domina el escenario de la práctica y la toma de decisiones médicas, por un lado; y por el otro, la inquietud por la excesiva querencia por la ciencia y la tecnología que generalmente muestra la medicina actual, lo cual no tendría nada de censurable si ello no supusiera sacrificar de una manera torpe e innecesaria el elemento empático y humanista propio del arte de cuidar.

Headache is perhaps one of the commonest symptoms in all level of medical practice. Though most of the time it is very benevolent in nature. Yet, it may be the presenting symptom of a serious or/and life threatening disorder like meningitis, subarachnoid haemorrhage, stroke or brain tumor. It is this dual significance the one benign, the other potentially malignant that keeps the physician on the alert. This is a random prospective study of 120 cases of headache truly reflecting the sufferings of the victims of headache approaching the ENT specialists for the purpose to determine the exact cause of headache and get a satisfactory treatment.

In this unpublished letter to The Times, Winnicott points out some ill effects of a total state medical service, including the potential subservience of medical practice to politics rather than science. He reminds readers that already a Minister of Health without scientific training has would become the one to decide not to include osteopathy and faith-healing in the state medical service, which from the doctor’s point of view is just as bad as if he had decided the other way.

A Performance

Therapy is not simply a domain or form of medical practice, but also a metaphor for and a performance of medicine, of its functions and status, of its distinctive mode of action upon the world. This article examines medical treatment or therapy (in Russianlechenie), as concept and practice, in what came to be known in Russia as defectology (defektologiia) – the discipline and occupation concerned with the study and care of children with developmental pathologies, disabilities and special needs. Defectology formed an impure, occupationally ambiguous, therapeutic field, which emerged between different types of expertise in the niche populated by children considered ‘difficult to cure’, ‘difficult to teach’, and ‘difficult to discipline’. The article follows the multiple genealogy of defectological therapeutics in the medical, pedagogical and juridical domains, across the late tsarist and early Soviet eras. It argues that the distinctiveness of defectological therapeutics emerged from the tensions between its biomedical, sociopedagogical and moral-juridical framings, resulting in ambiguous hybrid forms, in which medical treatment strategically interlaced with education or upbringing, on the one hand, and moral correction, on the other.

The first question to be answered, in seeking coordinate systems for geodynamics, is: what is geodynamics? The answer is, of course, that geodynamics is that part of geophysics which is concerned with movements of the Earth, as opposed to geostatics which is the physics of the stationary Earth. But as far as we know, there is no stationary Earth – epur sic monere. So geodynamics is actually coextensive with geophysics, and coordinate systems suitable for the one should be suitable for the other. At the present time, there are not many coordinate systems, if any, that can be identified with a static Earth. Certainly the only coordinate of aeronomic (atmospheric) interest is the height, and this is usually either as geodynamic height or as pressure. In oceanology, the most important coordinate is depth, and this, like heights in the atmosphere, is expressed as metric depth from mean sea level, as geodynamic depth, or as pressure. Only for the earth do we find “static” systems in use, ana even here there is real question as to whether the systems are dynamic or static. So it would seem that our answer to the question, of what kind, of coordinate systems are we seeking, must be that we are looking for the same systems as are used in geophysics, and these systems are dynamic in nature already – that is, their definition involvestime.

Abstract. Two experiments examined the influence of stories on recipients’ self-perceptions. Extending prior theory and research, our focus was on assimilation effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in line with a protagonist’s traits) as well as on contrast effects (i.e., changes in self-perception in contrast to a protagonist’s traits). In Experiment 1 ( N = 113), implicit and explicit conscientiousness were assessed after participants read a story about either a diligent or a negligent student. Moderation analyses showed that highly transported participants and participants with lower counterarguing scores assimilate the depicted traits of a story protagonist, as indicated by explicit, self-reported conscientiousness ratings. Participants, who were more critical toward a story (i.e., higher counterarguing) and with a lower degree of transportation, showed contrast effects. In Experiment 2 ( N = 103), we manipulated transportation and counterarguing, but we could not identify an effect on participants’ self-ascribed level of conscientiousness. A mini meta-analysis across both experiments revealed significant positive overall associations between transportation and counterarguing on the one hand and story-consistent self-reported conscientiousness on the other hand.

Acute Myeloid

SummaryThe prognosis of patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) has improved considerably by introduction of aggressive consolidation chemotherapy and haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (SCT). Nevertheless, only 20-30% of patients with AML achieve long-term diseasefree survival after SCT. The most common cause of treatment failure is relapse. Additionally, mortality rates are significantly increased by therapy-related causes such as toxicity of chemotherapy and complications of SCT. Including radioimmunotherapies in the treatment of AML and myelodyplastic syndrome (MDS) allows for the achievement of a pronounced antileukaemic effect for the reduction of relapse rates on the one hand. On the other hand, no increase of acute toxicity and later complications should be induced. These effects are important for the primary reduction of tumour cells as well as for the myeloablative conditioning before SCT.This paper provides a systematic and critical review of the currently used radionuclides and immunoconjugates for the treatment of AML and MDS and summarizes the literature on primary tumour cell reductive radioimmunotherapies on the one hand and conditioning radioimmunotherapies before SCT on the other hand.

In recent years, political and social conditions have changed dramatically. Many analyses help to capture these dynamics. However, they produce political pessimism: on the one hand there is the image of regression and on the other, a direct link is made between socio-economic decline and the rise of the far-right. To counter these aspects, this article argues that current political events are to be understood less as ‘regression’ but rather as a moment of movement and the return of deep political struggles. Referring to Jacques Ranciere’s political thought, the current conditions can be captured as the ‘end of post-democracy’. This approach changes the perspective on current social dynamics in a productive way. It allows for an emphasis on movement and the recognition of the windows of opportunity for emancipatory struggles.

Political ideological pluralism, religious diversity are characteristic features of modern Ukrainian society. On the one hand, multiculturalism, socio-political, religious differentiation of the latter appear as important characteristics of its democracy, as a practical expression of freedom, on the other - as a factor that led to the deconsocialization of society, gave rise to "nodal points" of tension, confrontational processes, in particular, in political and religious spheres.
