Las poblaciones ante la virulencia del COVID19 mostraron la pérdida de su bienestar y las opciones alimentarse adecuadamente para resistir al confinamiento, o para salvar vida pusieron en ejercicio a los conocimientos científicos de varios grupos de profesionales, que se encontraron ante un virus poco estudiado con una gran letalidad.  Para ello se realizó una investigación analítica eligiendo la literatura científica de aplicación del francés Quinton, quien había descubierto las propiedades del agua de mar, y de algunas plantas medicinales. Se realiza una investigación de campo, orientada a establecer los beneficios anticoagulantes del agua de mar en un consumo adecuado de 30 ml en las personas que alejadas de los fármacos acudieron a la misma como un recurso que mineralizó el cuerpo y sin saberlo al inició de la investigación evitó la coagulación de la sangre en personas que venían bebiendo agua de mar debidamente tratada. De esa manera, en forma inconsciente con los minerales que tenían en su cuerpo por la ingesta de agua de mar procesada, permitió que anticoagulantes naturales como el magnesio actuara como una barrera dentro de la cascada de coagulación, evitando que colapsen los pulmones por los componentes de la misma. La investigación tiene como objetivo establecer el aporte científico del conocimiento de la dosificación del agua de mar en el mejoramiento el bienestar y desarrollo de nuestros pueblos entrevistando a aquellos que la utilizaron para recoger información directa sobre sus beneficios orgánicos según su aplicación. Es un estudio cuantitativo y comparativo de las recomendaciones de la OMS se establecen las pautas mediante el proceso del método científico de observación, análisis, hipótesis y conclusiones. El análisis elige como tamaño de la muestra a 100 personas que se recuperaron luego de la administración del mar respaldado por un análisis de las historias clínicas y estudios de laboratorio luego de su aplicación. Entre los resultados está que el agua de mar ozonificada, en el 90% de la población que mostró ahogamiento a partir de la segunda semana de virulencia al administrarse agua de mar, mostró recuperación a las 72 horas y un restablecimiento progresivo. En el estudio físico de la sangre durante y después de la administración del agua de mar, se observaron cambios en la coloración de la sangre y en la capacidad coaguladora.     Populations in the face of the virulence of COVID19 showed the loss of their well-being and the options to eat properly to resist confinement, or to save life, put into practice the scientific knowledge of several groups of professionals, who were faced with a little-studied virus with a great lethality. For this, an analytical investigation was carried out choosing the scientific literature of the French Quinton, who had discovered the properties of seawater, and of some medicinal plants. A field investigation is carried out, aimed at establishing the anticoagulant benefits of seawater in an adequate consumption of 30 ml in people who, away from drugs, resorted to it as a resource that mineralized the body and without knowing it at the beginning of the research prevented blood clotting in people who had been drinking properly treated seawater. In this way, unconsciously with the minerals that they had in their body from the intake of processed seawater, it allowed natural anticoagulants such as magnesium to act as a barrier within the coagulation cascade, preventing the lungs from collapsing due to the components Of the same. The objective of the research is to establish the scientific contribution of the knowledge of seawater dosage in improving the well-being and development of our peoples by interviewing those who used it to collect direct information on its organic benefits according to its application. It is a quantitative and comparative study of the WHO recommendations, the guidelines are established through the process of the scientific method of observation, analysis, hypotheses and conclusions. The analysis chooses as the sample size 100 people who recovered after the administration of the sea supported by an analysis of medical records and laboratory studies after its application. Among the results is that ozonated seawater, in 90% of the population that showed drowning from the second week of virulence when seawater was administered, showed recovery at 72 hours and a progressive recovery. In the physical study of the blood during and after the administration of seawater, changes in the color of the blood and in the coagulant capacity were observed.

Through participant observation with supermarket clients and students of the gymnastics academy of Santa Catarina, it was discovered that health can be a pretext for those who, deep down, want to be sexually desired; it was also found that the desire to be sexually desired is kept secret because sex is still influenced by taboos. The manuscript concludes (a) that in the face of the current media boom on health and well-being, health may be a pretext for those who, at bottom, want to be sexually desired; and (b) unprecedented care with the body stimulated by the media makes citizens the targets of biopower.   KEYWORDS: TV.

Body Image Issues

It is widely believed that body image issues affect the emotional and psychological well-being of adolescents to a great extent. In the face of deeply entrenched normative beauty standards, teenagers’ struggles with body image issues can be extremely damaging. This study assessed the impact of an interactive online workshop involving the creation and sharing of ‘self-portraits’ on the body image of urban Indian female teenagers, aged 13 to 16. Data were gathered in the form of photographs of the participants’ artworks, their comments about each other’s artworks, as well as responses to a short open-ended questionnaire. This study revealed that the workshop was helpful in encouraging the participants to acknowledge their sense of isolation in dealing with body image issues. Furthermore, they greatly benefitted from a platform that gave them the opportunity to express their feelings and understand that they were not alone in their struggles. This empowered them to move towards self-acceptance and a desire to redefine unrealistic beauty standards. Ultimately, this study validated the value of the workshop in helping teenagers deal with their body image issues through creative means. In the future, regular sessions should be held to address teenagers’ body image issues through creative means and provide them with support in facing the pressures of prevalent beauty standards. As parents could inadvertently be contributing to their children’s body image issues, this study also proposed efforts to educate parents on the promotion of body positivity in their children.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a widely represented species of bacteria possessing of a pathogenic potential. This infectious agent is causing wound infections, fibrotic cystitis, fibrosing pneumonia, bacterial sepsis, etc. The microorganism is highly resistant to antiseptics, disinfectants, immune system responses of the body. The responses of a quorum sense of this kind of bacteria ensure the inclusion of many pathogenicity factors. The analysis of the scientific literature made it possible to formulate four questions concerning the role of biofilms for the adaptation of P. aeruginosa to adverse environmental factors: Is another person appears to be predominantly of a source an etiological agent or the source of P. aeruginosa infection in the environment? Does the formation of biofilms influence on the antibiotic resistance? How the antagonistic activity of microorganisms is realized in biofilm form? What is the main function of biofilms in the functioning of bacteria? A hypothesis has been put forward the effect of biofilms on the increase of antibiotic resistance of bacteria and, in particular, P. aeruginosa to be secondary in charcter. It is more likely a biofilmboth to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and provide topical competition in the face of food scarcity. In connection with the incompatibility of the molecular radii of most antibiotics and pores in biofilm, biofilm is doubtful to be capable of performing a barrier function for protecting against antibiotics. However, with respect to antibodies and immunocompetent cells, the barrier function is beyond doubt. The biofilm is more likely to fulfill the function of storing nutrients and providing topical competition in conditions of scarcity of food resources.

The last decade has witnessed far greater attention to the social determinants of health in health research, but literary studies have yet to address, in a sustained way, how narratives addressing issues of health across postcolonial cultural divides depict the meeting – or non-meeting – of radically differing conceptualisations of wellness and disease. This chapter explores representations of illness in which Western narrators and notions of the body are juxtaposed with conceptualisations of health and wellness entirely foreign to them, embedded as the former are in assumptions about Cartesian duality and the superiority of scientific method – itself often conceived of as floating (mysteriously) free from its own processes of enculturation and their attendant limits. In this respect my work joins Volker Scheid’s, in this volume, in using the capacity of critical medical humanities to reassert the cultural specificity of what we have come to know as contemporary biomedicine, often assumed to be

Increasing data suggest that for medical school students the stress of academic and psychologicaldemands can impair social emotions that are a core aspect of compassion and ultimately physiciancompetence. Few interventions have proven successful for enhancing physician compassion inways that persist in the face of suffering and that enable sustained caretaker well-being. To addressthis issue, the current study was designed to (1) investigate the feasibility of cognitively-basedcompassion training (CBCT) for second-year medical students, and (2) test whether CBCT decreasesdepression, enhances compassion, and improves daily functioning in medical students. Comparedto the wait-list group, students randomized to CBCT reported increased compassion, and decreasedloneliness and depression. Changes in compassion were most robust in individuals reporting highlevels of depression at baseline, suggesting that CBCT may benefit those most in need by breakingthe link between personal suffering and a concomitant drop in compassion

Continuing the workshop I've given in the WPC Paris (2017), this article elaborates my discussion of the way I interlace Focusing with Differentiation Based Couples Therapy (Megged, 2017) under the systemic view, in order to facilitate processes of change and healing in working with intimate couples. This article presents the theory and rationale of integrating Differentiation (Bowen, 1978; Schnarch, 2009; Megged, 2017) and Focusing (Gendlin, 1981) approaches, and its therapeutic potential in couple's therapy. It is written from the point of view of a practicing professional in order to illustrate the experiential nature and dynamics of the suggested therapeutic path. Differentiation is a key to mutuality. It offers a solution to the central struggle of any long term intimate relationship: balancing two basic life forces - the drive for individuality and the drive for togetherness (Schnarch, 2009). Focusing is a body-oriented process of self-awareness and emotional healing, in which one learns to pay attention to the body and the ‘Felt Sense’, in order to unfold the implicit, keep it in motion at the precise pace it needs for carrying the next step forward (Gendlin, 1996). Combining Focusing and Differentiation perspectives can cultivate the kind of relationship where a conflict can be constructively and successfully held in the inner world of each partner, while taking into consideration the others' well-being. This creates the possibility for two people to build a mutual emotional field, open to changes, permeable and resilient.

We performed the first ever comparative analysis of modifications in the proteome, ionogram and some other blood plasma biochemical indices of 18 male cosmonauts (44 ± 6 years of age) before and after maiden or repeated long-term missions to the Russian segment of the International space station (ISS RS). Levels of proteins, substrates and ions as well as chemical components were measured using the LC-MS-based proteomics and routine biochemical techniques. A total of 256 to 281 indices were investigated with the methods of descriptive statistic, regression analysis, and access to bioinformatics resources. It was shown that blood indices recovery from the maiden and repeated missions reflects changes in the body systems and goes at a various speed. The results of measurements made prior to launch and on day 7 after landing are dependent on the number of missions. The bioinformatics techniques showed that after maiden missions both the mediator proteins of alkaline phosphatase (AP) and blood proteins with reliably changing concentrations are associated with the bio-processes including stress, metabolism and DNA reparation, apoptosis, catabolism and proteolysis. During early re-adaptation from repeated missions the AP level was affected by bone remodeling, phosphorylation, angiogenesis and coagulation cascade suggesting a distinct and urgent trigger of the processes of bone structure and mineralization.

Objective: This study aimed to analyze the presence of lesions in the skull and face and the associated factors in pedestrian victims of traffic accidents. Methods: A cross-sectional, descriptive-analytical study carried out through the analysis of medical records of pedestrian victims of traffic accidents in an emergency service in the city of Campina Grande, Brazil, during the year of 2016. Information was collected regarding gender, age group, day of the week, time of the accident, type of vehicle involved, presence of trauma to the skull and face, and outcomes. The Chi-square and Fisher's Exact tests were used, with a significance level of 5%. Results: A total of 1,884 medical records were evaluated, out of which 7.1% (n = 133) involved pedestrians. Men were the most frequent victims (68.4%), and victims of age 60 years old or over (30.5%) predominated. Almost one-third of the cases were recorded during the weekends (30.5%), and the most prevalent time was at night (52.7%). Regarding the type of vehicle involved, motorcycles predominated (47.4%). Head trauma was present in 37.6% of victims, while facial injuries corresponded to 8.2%. In 12% of cases, the victims died. The variables of gender, age group, occurrence on weekends, and trauma to the face showed a statistically significant association with the occurrence of traffic accidents (Chi-square test; p<0.05). Conclusion: Among pedestrian victims of traffic accidents, there is a predominance of men aged 65 years or over. Accidents are frequent at night, and motorcycles are the main vehicles involved. The presence of trauma to the skull and face regions is high.

The body weight of U.S. adults and children has risen markedly over the past three decades. The physical health consequences of obesity are widely documented, and emerging research from the Midlife in the United States study and other large-scale surveys reveals the harmful impact of obesity on adults’ psychosocial and interpersonal well-being. This chapter synthesizes recent research on the psychosocial implications of body weight, with attention to explanatory mechanisms and subgroup differences in these patterns. A brief statistical portrait of body weight is provided, documenting rates and correlates of obesity, with a focus on race, gender, and socioeconomic status disparities. The consequences of body weight for three main outcomes are described: institutional and everyday discrimination, interpersonal relationships, and psychological well-being. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the ways that recent integrative health research on the psychosocial consequences of overweight and obesity inform our understanding of population health.

Health And Well Being

Abstract Advertising helps to establish a set of assumptions that the consumer will bring to all other aspects of their engagement with a given brand. Advertising provides tangible evidence of the financial credibility and competitive presence of an organization. Persuasion is becoming more important in advertising. In marketing, persuasive advertising acts to establish wants/motivations and beliefs/attitudes by helping to formulate a conception of the brand as being one which people like those in the target audience would or should prefer. Considering the changes in lifestyle and eating habits of a significant part of the population in urban areas in Romania, the paper aims to analyse how brands manage to differentiate themselves from competitors, to reposition themselves on the market and influence consumers, meeting their increasingly varied needs. Food brands on the Romanian market are trying, lately, to identify new methods of differentiation and new benefits for their buyers. Given that more and more consumers are becoming increasingly concerned about what they eat and the products’ health effects, brands struggle to highlight the fact that their products offer real benefits for the body. The advertisements have become more diversified and underline the positive effects, from the health and well - being point of view, that those foods offer (no additives and preservatives, use of natural ingredients, various vitamins and minerals or the fact that they are dietary). Advertising messages’ diversification is obvious on the Romanian market, in the context of an increasing concern of the population for the growing level of information of some major consumer segments.
