A fizikai és érzelmi bántalmazás jellemzői - pszichoszomatikus hatásmechanizmusa
Authors: Tömő Zsolt 
Published: April 2024

A review célja egy átfogóbb képet prezentálni a bántalmazások fogalmáról, egyes megnyilvánulási módozatok, mint például fizikális és érzelmi erőszak perspektíváit figyelembe véve, fókuszba helyezve a pszichés hatásokat, a teljesség igénye nélkül. A bántalmazások elkövetői rendszerint maguk is átesetek valamilyen típusú bántalmazáson vagy traumán. A fizikai bántalmazások pszichés vonzatain, jóval túlmutat az érzelmi erőszak okozta sérülés. Elemzésre kerül milyen felnőttkori hatásmechanizmusa lehet a különböző agresszióknak, hogyan és mi vezethet a családon belüli és családon kívüli agresszív bántalmazó viselkedéshez. A gyermekkorban bántalmazáson átesettek, felnőttkorban hajlamosak lesznek a bántalmazásra? Milyen mértékű jelentősége van a fiatalok esetében a kortárs csoportoknak az agresszió megjelenésében? A verbális agresszió mentális, pszichés terhe előbukkan korunk modern digitális világában a cyber térben is. Egy viszonylag fiatal de lelki szempontból destruktívan ható megjelenési formája a verbális agressziónak a cyberbullying. A mai Y, de leginkább a Z generáció gyakorlatilag a virtuális trébe születik bele, ahol számtalan veszélynek, erőszaknak vannak kitéve. A fogalmak prezentálásán, egyes aspektusok kiemelésén túl, a tanulmány kitér az erőszak lehetséges pszichés illetve pszichoszomatikus manifesztációira is.
Rambu Solo dan Ekologi: Manfaat Studi Biblika Kontekstual dalam Membangun Spiritualitas Ekoteologi di Toraja
Authors: Komura Yakobus 
Published: April 2024

Humans and nature are an inseparable unity, as determined by God to establish harmony. Ecological relations that should be reciprocal are not visible, due to human behavior which tends to be anthropocentric towards nature. The rise of the ecological crisis forces Christianity to continue to rethink its role in promoting ecological conversion, especially in Toraja, which is predominantly Christian, which is also rich in customs and culture. The wealth that has made it increasingly known throughout the earth has now forgotten the awareness of the balance of its ecosystem. In particular, the Rambu Solo' culture is a funeral (death) rite or ceremony among the Toraja people who have certain levels based on their social strata, which then consumes a lot of natural attributes including animal sacrifices. Based on this concern, the role of contextual biblical studies is considered important in building awareness of ecological spirituality to become a bridge in maintaining ecosystem balance. Awareness to see others as creations that give each other life. The method in this paper attempts to use a synthetic or dialogical model. The synthetic model is a model that appears serious in involving other contexts.ABSTRAKManusia dan alam adalah satu kesatuan yang tak terpisahkan, sebagaimana yang ditetapkan oleh Allah untuk menjalin keharmonisan. Relasi ekologi yang semestinya bersifat timbal balik tidak nampak, akibat perilaku manusia yang cenderung antroposentris terhadap alam. Maraknya krisis ekologis memaksa kekristenan untuk terus memikirkan kembali peranannya dalam menggemakan pertobatan ekologis, khususnya di Toraja yang mayoritas agama Kristen, yang juga kaya akan adat dan budayanya. Kekayaan yang membuatnya makin dikenal hingga penjuru bumi, kini lupa akan kesadaran keseimbangan ekosistemnya. Khususnya budaya Rambu Solo’ yang merupakan ritus atau upacara pemakaman (kematian) dikalangan masyarakat Toraja yang memiliki tingkatan-tingakatan tertentu berdasarkan strata sosialnya, yang kemudian banyak menghabiskan atribut alam termasuk kurban hewan. Atas dasar keprihatinan ini maka dipandang penting peranan studi biblika kontekstual untuk membangun kesadaran spiritualitas ekologi menjadi jembatan dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem. Kesadaran untuk melihat yang lain sebagai ciptaan yang saling memberi kehidupan. Metode dalam tulisan ini mengupayakan dengan menggunakan model sintesis atau dialogis. Model sintesis ialah model yang nampak serius dalam melibatkan konteks-konteks yang lain. Kata-kata kunci: Biblika, Ekoteologi, Rambu Solo’, Spiritualitas, Toraja

Published: April 2024

Psoriasiform dermatoses are a wide spectrum of inflammatory diseases, with several major forms represented by different clinical entities. Psoriasis is the prototype of psoriasiform dermatoses. Other conditions include pustular psoriasis, Reiter’s syndrome, pityriasis rubra pilaris, lichen simplex chronicus and large-plaques parapsoriasis. These lesions represent a diagnostic challenge, both on clinical and histopathological basis. This could be attributed to overlapping clinical and histopathological features. All of them share the hyperactivity of keratinocytes leading to extensive hyperkeratosis, orthokeratosis, congestion and perivascular lymphocytic infiltration.
We presented a 25 years old female patient. She complained of epidermal verrucal lesion at the external genitalia and medial aspect of the thigh and pubic region. The surface of the skin was rough with variable velvety like granular surface from one area to another. The cut section showed marked thickening of the epidermis with upper dermal congested vessels. This lesion was compatible with the previous history of long-standing psoriasis. A wide local excision was performed with closure of the wide area with minimal scar. The specimen was sent for histopathological examination and it revealed a picture of psoriasiform dermatitis.

Published: April 2024

Background: Hypothyroidism was considered as a predisposing factor for herpes zoster (HZ) infection. Thus, Thyroxine deficiency may be a risk factor for varicella zoster virus reactivation. The aim of this study was to test if thyroid hormone supplementation will ameliorate the clinical course of HZ infection.
Methodology: This was a prospective cohort conducted on 60 herpes zoster infected patients, who had a subclinical hypothyroidism. Serum TSH and FT4 measurements were made by using electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. All patients were divided into two groups. Group A included 30 patients who were treated with Eltroxin 25 µg daily for 3 months. Group B included 30 patients who took placebo. All were submitted to cutaneous examination (e.g., rash and new lesions). Any complications were documented. Pain was assessed before and after treatment, and any pain-controlling medications were registered. The primary endpoints were time to achieve complete pain cessation, time to cessation of the formation of the new lesions, and time to > 50% crusting/healed lesions. Secondary outcome included time to 100% crusting/healed lesions, time to complete absence of moderate to excruciating pain, time to first pain-free period, and time to absence of abnormal sensations.
Results: Both groups were comparable regarding patient age, gender, chronic medical diseases, and characteristics of herpes zoster rash. Ophthalmic zoster was reported in 6.7% and 10% of groups A and B respectively. However, group A (Eltroxin supported) had much better and rapid and rash healing of pain than group B. Finally, zoster-related complications were significantly lower in group A than group B.
Conclusions: Subclinical hypothyroidism is associated with HZ reactivation process, so hypothyroid medical treatments are effective in this case.

Introdução: O ozônio, um composto alotrópico do oxigênio, demonstra efeitos bioestimuladores e antimicrobianos, em que a ação varia conforme a dosagem aplicada. Essas propriedades conferem-lhe uma ampla gama de aplicações clínicas. Objetivos: Este estudo tem como objetivo apresentar um projeto de extensão especializado em ozonioterapia (OZT) aplicada à odontologia. O propósito é ampliar as oportunidades de estudo e prática em OZT para alunos de graduação e pós-graduação, além de aumentar o acesso a atendimentos odontológicos especializados em OZT no Distrito Federal e região. Método: Trata-se de um relato de experiência do projeto de extensão “Ozonioterapia em Odontologia do Hospital Universitário de Brasília (HUB/EBSERH)”, realizado a partir da análise de registros internos acerca das atividades desenvolvidas, atuação da equipe, protocolos clínicos e pesquisas bibliográficas. Sendo o HUB/EBSERH um importante centro de referência na região, há uma demanda constante por pacientes com diversas condições estomatológicas, resultando em uma média de 100 pacientes atendidos por mês que se beneficiam da OZT. Resultados: Dados científicos indicam que o ozônio pode influenciar os sistemas biológicos em múltiplos níveis, favorecendo e aprimorando o processo de reparo tecidual. Clinicamente, a OZT na odontologia tem mostrado resultados promissores no tratamento de necroses dos maxilares, parestesias, nevralgias e infecções. O considerável fluxo de pacientes demandando por atendimento odontológico em OZT, particularmente em um contexto em que essa terapia é escassa no sistema público regional, juntamente com a excelente formação técnica e científica da equipe, proporciona um ambiente propício para a execução deste projeto. Conclusões: Considerando os diversos efeitos terapêuticos da OZT, é possível reconhecê-la como uma ferramenta valiosa para auxiliar e melhorar os processos terapêuticos. É essencial o desenvolvimento de projetos que promovam a integração dos conhecimentos gerados na universidade com a comunidade, beneficiando tanto o corpo discente quanto a população por meio da expansão do acesso aos serviços de saúde.

Published: April 2024

AbstractIntroductionThe 2023 Australian guideline for assessing and managing cardiovascular disease risk provides updated evidence‐based recommendations for the clinical assessment and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk for primary prevention. It includes the new Australian CVD risk calculator (Aus CVD Risk Calculator), based on an equation developed from a large New Zealand cohort study, customised and recalibrated for the Australian population. The new guideline replaces the 2012 guideline that recommended CVD risk assessment using the Framingham risk equation.Main recommendationsThe new guideline recommends CVD risk assessment in people without known CVD: all people aged 45–79 years, people with diabetes from 35 years, and First Nations people from 30 years. The new Aus CVD Risk Calculator should be used to estimate and categorise CVD risk into low (< 5% risk over five years), intermediate (5% to < 10% risk over five years) or high risk (≥ 10% over five years). The following reclassification factors may be applied to recategorise calculated risk to improve accuracy of risk prediction, particularly in individuals close to a risk threshold: Indigenous status/ethnicity, estimated glomerular filtration rate, urine albumin to creatinine ratio measurements, severe mental illness, coronary artery calcium score and family history of premature CVD.A variety of communication formats is available to communicate CVD risk to help enable shared decision making. Healthy lifestyle modification, including smoking cessation, nutrition, physical activity and limiting alcohol, is encouraged for all individuals. Blood pressure‐lowering and lipid‐modifying pharmacotherapies should be prescribed for high risk and considered for intermediate risk individuals, unless contraindicated or clinically inappropriate.Reassessment of CVD risk should be considered within five years for individuals at low risk and within two years for those with intermediate risk. Reassessment of CVD risk is not recommended for individuals at high risk.Changes in assessment and management as a result of the guidelineThe updated guideline recommends assessment over a broader age range and uses the Aus CVD Risk Calculator, which replaces the previous Framingham‐based equation. It incorporates new variables: social disadvantage, diabetes‐specific risk markers, diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and use of blood pressure‐lowering and lipid‐modifying therapies. Reclassification factors are also a new addition.Updated risk categories and thresholds are based on the new Aus CVD Risk Calculator. The proportion of the population in the high risk category (≥ 10% over five years) is likely to be broadly comparable to more than 15% risk from the Framingham‐based equation.The full guideline and Aus CVD Risk Calculator can be accessed at www.cvdcheck.org.au.

مقاربات في تفسير النهضة الحسينية (دراسة في بعض الأصول والمباني الفكرية العامة لها)
Authors: الموسوي م.د. إبراهيم جاسم كاظم 
Published: April 2024

موضوع هذه الدراسة تسليط الضوء على الأصول والمباني العامة الكلامية والتاريخية في قراءة فلسفة الحركة الحسينية، وغاياتها المباشرة؛ وهو موضوع تعددت واختلفت فيه اراء الباحثين، الى مقاربات عدة، تصل الى ما يقارب اثنتي عشرة مقاربة او أكثر.
مقاربات القضية الحسينية تتنوع بين روى مختلفة جدا، بين رؤية تعتمد نفي مفهوم الثورة عنها، وانما هي نهضة للدفاع عن النفس، وبين رؤية تفسرها انها ثورة لغرض تغيير نظام الحكم السياسي، او مقاربة الثورة من اجل الشهادة السياسية، وبين مقاربة تحصرها ضمن التكليف الإلهي الخاص، الذي لا يصلح للاقتداء به، وغير ذلك من مقاربات مهمة أخرى.
اهمية هذه الدراسة عموما، تتضح في اهمية فهم الحركة الحسينية واهدافها، وذلك للتأثير الكبير الذي تركته على الفكر المذهبي والديني، و مجمل الاوضاع السياسية والدينية للمجتمع الإسلامي، وضرورة الوقوف عند بعض المقدمات المؤثرة في فهمها.
والنتيجة التي توصلنا لها، ان النهضة الحسينية لابد تصنف ضمن المقولات النظرية لا البديهية، كما ان أسباب تعدد المقاربات فيها ترجع الى أسباب كثيرة منها النصوص المروية بين التاريخية منها والمتأخرة، وبعض المباني الكلامية، مثل قضية الايمان بالغيب وغيره. وهي (الأسباب) مما يتطلب ضرورة إعادة قراءتها قراءة نقدية وتاريخية.
المنهج في الدراسة هو المنهج التاريخي، مع تتبع أقدم النصوص التاريخية، والمشتركة بين المؤرخين، مع المنهج العقلي التحليلي، والمنهج النقدي.

Published: April 2024

Financial protection has been recognised as an important element within the healthcare financing system of many low and middle-income countries. Pre-payment schemes have been advocated as a means of curbing high out of pocket expenditure and achieving universal health coverage. A number of financing reforms have been taking place, however there is a limited rigorous contextual evidence on the willingness-to-pay (WTP) for the recently Improved Community Health Fund (iCHF) in Tanzania. The study took place in district councils of Dodoma and Iringa regions. Data were collected from a household survey conducted in 2021. Contingent valuation methodology was used to elicit households’ the willing to pay (WTP) for iCHF premium using the bidding game technique. In addition, the relationship between WTP and other socio-economic variables was examined using logistic regression models. Majority 88% respondents said they will repay their package after expiry considering the quality of the services provided by health insurance. The results showed a statistically significant negative relationship 0.526 (p = 0.034) between household aged above 55 years of age and WTP. More specifically, as age increases above 55 years, the likelihood to pay for health insurance premium decreases. We also found a positive statistically significant relationship 1.882 (p = 0.034) between the household with small business and WTP, which suggest the individuals with small business are in a better position to pay for iCHF premium compared to those with formal employment. It is important to educate the households to raise awareness about the benefits of being a member of insurance scheme in both formal and informal sector. The households should be encouraged to formalize their small business, this will improve their income and enrolment into the insurance schemes. The benefit packages should be revised to fit the need of the people as WTP was also influenced by the nature of the packages.
