Despite its serious consequences in jails and prisons, reliable data on self-injury in those settings remains sparse.

Full text
Abstract:
When fibromyalgia is first diagnosed, patients often have two reactions. The first reaction is relief. They have a legitimate diagnosis and are not crazy. Then a feeling of loneliness and a hint of fear can be detected, since many patients have never heard of the fibromyalgia syndrome and do not know what to do. It is worth repeating that the intent of this book is to promote a better understanding of fibromyalgia, as well as to provide patients, allied health professionals, and physicians with ways to work together. But first, this chapter will discuss how many people have fibromyalgia and how it might have been acquired. Until recently, nobody knew how many people had fibromyalgia. Dr. Frederick Wolfe, the same physician who chaired the ACR Criteria Committee, received funding to undertake an epidemiologic survey of the syndrome. Using computerized applications of field methodologies to estimate the prevalence of fibromyalgia (the number of cases per 100,000 individuals), his team estimated that 6 million people in the United States fulfill the ACR criteria for fibromyalgia. This and other surveys suggest that while 2 percent of the adult U.S. population have full-blown fibromyalgia (3.5 percent of adult women and 0.5 percent of adult men), 11 percent have chronic widespread pain and 20 percent have chronic regional pain. Recently, Dr. Larry Bradley at the University of Alabama has found that for every diagnosed fibromyalgia patient in the United States, there is an undiagnosed individual who has the requisite tender points, but never seeks medical attention for this. This has been termed community fibromyalgia. A survey in Great Britain found that 13 percent of the population had chronic widespread pain, 72 percent of whom sought medical attention for it. Of those, 21 percent fulfilled the ACR criteria for fibromyalgia. In other words, of individuals with chronic neuromuscular pain, less than half have diagnosed fibromyalgia or community fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia is the third or fourth most common reason for consulting a rheumatologist. Approximately 15 to 20 percent of all patients seeking rheumatology referrals have fibromyalgia.

Abstract:
When a health care professional becomes engaged in diagnosing and treating or supporting a person with intellectual disability, the complexities of the disorder become apparent. To provide the best care and the best support, knowledge about neurogenetic syndromes, management of biomedical and behavior features, psychosocial interventions, and the natural history of the disorder are critical. Background knowledge and sensitivity to the needs and life challenges of the affected person are especially important. With new knowledge in genetics, the neurosciences, and social sciences, and the utilization of the richness of family, school, and community resources for these individuals as they develop, the historical stigma of the diagnosis can be reduced and hopefully eliminated. Professionals, families, and community support personnel must join forces so that all available resources are fully utilized, thus allowing the person with intellectual disability to be appropriately treated for his condition and to begin to make choices and become a self-advocate to the extent possible. This chapter will review changing concepts of intellectual disability over the centuries to provide a context for current diagnostic and treatment approaches. An awareness of this history provides perspective on the centuries-long struggle to recognize the needs of and to provide support to persons with intellectual disability. Legal safeguards are now in effect and are continuing to emerge as services are established that use a developmental model and emphasize a developmental perspective. This model emphasizes how comprehensive evaluation and positive supports at home and in the community can make a difference in the lives of persons with disabilities. The starting point is a definition of the term “intellectual disability.” This will be followed by a brief historical survey of origins and attitudes that are changing after centuries of stigmatization and separation. National and international efforts, which began in the 1970s, are continuing to encourage community placement of and self-determination by persons with intellectual disability. Although “mental retardation” is the term used in both the International Classification of Diseases (lCD-10) (World Health Organization, 1992) and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-IV, DSM-IVTR) (American Psychiatric Association, 1994, 2000) systems that describe an intellectual and adaptive cognitive disability that begins in early life during the developmental period, the preferred term is “intellectual disability” internationally, especially in English-speaking countries.

For each method of assessment, its applicability, strengths and limitations are examined. The use of telecommunication technologies and Internet resources are incorporated throughout the chapter.

Abstract:
The prevailing view for detecting mood disorders in the presence of physical disease is to exclude somatic symptoms that might contaminate a diagnosis (See Parker and Hyatt, Chapter 10 for a presentation of this point of view). This chapter will examine whether this approach is beneficial, with a view to deciding whether new depression scales for each physical disorder (each excluding somatic symptoms) are required. There is a bidirectional relationship between depression and physical illness. New evidence suggests that among depressed individuals presenting in primary care, most have at least one comorbid psychiatric condition and at least one physical condition. At least 75% of elderly depressed patients in primary care also have a known physical illness, and in 30–50% this is of high severity. In one study only 10% of elderly depressed patients in primary care had pure depression with no comorbidity. Thus, comorbid depression should be considered ‘‘normal’’ in primary care. Some evidence suggests that those with comorbidity are less likely to have depression treatment initiated by their primary care practitioner. They are also less likely to recover from depression.9 Specific conditions such as speech disorders, arthritis, and dermatologic problems have been linked with worse outcomes of depression. The exact relationship of depression and comorbidities is complex. In one of the largest studies, Egede (2007) examined data from 30,801 adults captured in the 1999 Household National Health Interview Survey. The community prevalence of major depression was 4.7% in those without chronic medical illness but 7.7%, 9.8%, and 12% in those with one, two, or three or more chronic disorders, respectively (Fig. 11.1). Major depression was associated with significant increases in utilization, lost productivity, and functional disability. Patients with chronic medical illness and comorbid depression (and anxiety) also have significantly higher numbers of medical symptoms, even controlling for severity of disease. Around one in four people in the general population have functional disability, but in those with depression and medical comorbidity, at least three out of four have functional limitations.

The increasing numbers of breast cancer survivors from newly diagnosed to metastatic requires more personalised management by the medical breast cancer community. Whereas oncology specialists provide useful information, patients may not hear it. An equal partnership between patients and their doctors is proposed. Patient involvement is more than patient surveys. Patients need appropriate information which they can understand and trust and is tailored to their specific needs at each step of the care pathway. Patients are facing difficulties navigating all the information and available options. Physicians need to understand that patients receive information from multiple sites. Many tools are available to help in shared decision-making.

Abstract:
<p>Oaxaca State (Mexico) has great tangible and intangible wealth. Its history includes buildings dated from the Spanish crown conquest in the XVI century. Its architecture is considered a monumental wealth, in spite of the damages caused by earthquakes along its history. In this work the social - educational approach has been considered as part of the frame of work to preserve and to rehabilitate the built heritage. We present a case study in San Jeronimo Taviche. In this town, as in others, the built patrimony has been lost due to lack of valuation of this patrimony, and lack of econom

Abstract:
Uses of epidemiology. Venous thromboembolism continues to be an important cause of death and disability in Western Countries. Its epidemiology may provide clues to etiology, e.g. the increased incidence in oral contraceptive users, and the low prevalence at autopsy in Central Africa or Japan compared to the U.S.A. A second use is the monitoring of time-trends: the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism increased during the 1970s, although the case fatality decreased. A third use is the identification and quantification of risk factors: these could be modified in the hope of prevention, or else used t

Abstract A key challenge in the gas turbine community is to adapt the engine model by matching measured data with simulation data. This study presents a procedure aiming to calibrate a certain type of gas turbine for power generation. To reproduce degradation, disturbance is injected into the healthy components maps at different time. Subsequently, six correction factors along with measured data and unmeasured parameters are coupled together using cooperative working equations and optimized based on primal-dual interior point method. When performing the adaptive procedure, Jacobian and hessian

Abstract:
Surgical needles are commonly used by medical professionals to reach target locations inside of the body for disease diagnosis or other medical interventions — such as biopsy, brachytheraphy, thermal ablation, and drug delivery [1, 2]. The effectiveness of these procedures depends on the accuracy with which the needle tips reach the targets, such as tumors or certain organs/tissues. In procedures, such as deep brain stimulation and prostate brachytheraphy, it is impossible to reach the surgical sites via simple needle trajectory because of anatomical constraints. Although needles are considere

Abstract:
Cancer stigma may lead to delayed diagnosis and treatment, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This exploratory, pilot study was conducted in India to explore the degree to which cancer stigma is perceived, experienced, and internalized among adults living with cancer and their primary caregivers. We conducted a survey of cancer patients and their caregivers in two Indian cities. The survey assessed perceived, experienced, and internalized stigma; demographic characteristics; patient cancer history; mental health; and social support.
