The worldwide predominance of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic will have tremendous consequences on bone health of the general population and specifically to the bone mineral density of both young and elderly adolescents, due to sedentary lifestyle resulting from the prolonged and repeated lockdown. Scientific articles argue about the short and long term consequences on bone health resulting from the social isolation and the subsequent sedentary behaviors, whereas experts focus their scientific interest at guidelines for diagnosis, management and prevention of osteoporosis in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic

Long Term Consequences

Postpartum depression remains a significant healthcare priority due to the social and family consequences. Research has shown that both mothers and fathers experience significant psychological changes during pregnancy and postnatally, including depressive disorders. Underdiagnosed in most cases, the short and long-term consequences involve infant and child development, family’s life and social disruption. Because this pathology may lead to deviation from behavioural and social norms, we want to emphasize that timely and appropriate diagnostic can improve the effectiveness of treatments and avoid complications.This may contribute to optimal social, emotional and behavioural child development that may occur consecutively to family members” emotional and psychological manifestations.

Desk Research

The first purpose of this paper is to analyze the direct and indirect, short- and long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic for men. The second purpose is to identify the mechanisms underlying the present and predicted pandemic’s impact on men’s life and health (both somatic and mental). The author interprets the higher men's mortality due to coronavirus rates and the males' suicide rates that heightened from the beginning of the pandemic due to life-style that reflects the toxic masculinity norms. This paper's theoretical framework is determined by the social (cultural) trauma theory and the Critical Studies on Men and Masculinities. The method used for the present study is desk research based on the integrated literature review including the results of empirical research directly or indirectly addressing males’ experience of the COVID-19 pandemic from the years 2019 and 2020, the previous pandemics (SARS in 2002-2004 and Ebola in 2014), other social crises caused by economic and political processes, and research explaining men’s stress-related behaviors.

Complicated Nature

The economy of Southeast Asia has been in relatively good shape in spite of the instability of the world monetary system, trade deficits, and the worldwide oil crisis. There are promising factors for economic growth, opportunities for employment, and possibilities of rising income. But Asian development presents short-and long-term problems of a very complicated nature. One of the most serious problems is inflation and its impact on the social and political programs of individual countries. At the same time, there are severe shortages of basic commodities, such as oil and food. My own country, Japan, is among those affected.

In the introduction to The power of tests: A critical perspective on the uses of language tests, Elana Shohamy raises the following questions: What is the meaning of a test for test takers, parents, teachers, and school administrators? What are the short- and long-term consequences of tests on the lives of individuals? What are the motivating factors behind the administration of language tests? What are the politics of the tests? These kinds of questions logically arise when the examination of testing includes a concern with the use of tests by educational institutions, policy makers, and society at large. Focusing primarily on the misuse of tests, this volume chronicles both intended and unintended test consequences.

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Improvement in survival of systemic lupus erythematosus has been brought about with new advancement in treatment. However, glucocorticoids remain the sole cornerstone and as patients live longer, there is a need to address long-term complications brought by long-term glucocorticoid use such as osteoporosis. In this review, glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus will be extensively discussed. This would include prevalence of osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, the difficulties in measuring fracture risk and pitfalls in using conventional methods such as bone mineral density. In addition, the mechanism of actions of glucocorticoids and evidence for glucocorticoids in the treatment of specific systemic lupus erythematosus manifestations would be explored and we also discussed specific pathophysiological mechanisms in the development of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus. We also reviewed the latest guidelines in the treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and the evidence for various osteoporosis medications. Finally, we recommend an approach in monitoring bone health and the treatment of osteoporosis specifically in systemic lupus erythematosus patients.

Over Time

The primary goal for this session is for clients to explore and learn how emotional experiences unfold. This allows clients to learn from their emotional experiences and how these experiences can influence their later behaviors and emotions. During this session, clients learn the steps that unfold over time in emotions: antecedent (A, what happened before), response (R, which includes thoughts, physical sensations, and behaviors/urges), and consequence (C, what happens after). Clients learn to look for patterns in their emotional triggers. They also learn to explore short- and long-term consequences of their emotional responses. Form 8.1: The ARC of Emotional Experiences is introduced.
