Accurate Reflection

Medical practice and the disease model importantly rely on the accuracy assumption of symptom perception: patients’ symptom reports are a direct and accurate reflection of physiological dysfunction. This implies that symptoms can be used as a read-out of dysfunction and that remedying the dysfunction removes the symptoms. While this assumption is viable in many instances of disease, the relationship between symptoms and physiological dysfunction is highly variable and, in a substantial number of cases, completely absent. This chapter considers symptom perception as a form of unconscious inferential somatic decision-making that compellingly produces consciously experienced symptoms. At a mechanistic level, this perspective removes the categorical distinction between symptoms that are closely associated with physiological dysfunction and those that are not. In addition, it brings symptom perception in accordance with general theories of perception. Some clinical implications to understand and treat symptoms poorly related to physiological dysfunction are discussed.

Surgery In Elderly

It is certainly true that increase of the average life span has caused a greater percentage of elderly people to visit urological departments. From April 1989 to December 1991, patients over 75 years under our observation were 10.8% of all operated patients. Only 5% of patients over 75 who needed to be operated, weren't actually operated. The numerical analysis of our experience has highlighted the fact that in patients who underwent an operation, the incidence and mortality caused by cardiovascular diseases weren't any higher than those found in other people of the same age. We are also convinced that prejudices about age limits should not prevent the elderly afflicted with a benign or malignant urological pathology from undergoing an operation.
