Full textAbstract:
In the structure of modern diseases, there are 50-75% of psychosomatic diseases. To understand the role of the emotional factor in the onset and progression of somatic disorders, as well as the opposite process – the emergence of psychological and emotional disorders as a response to an acute or chronic disease of internal organs – acquires a particular importance and relevance at the present stage of the causality of the disease. Individual features of the response of the human body to social, biological factors have common mechanisms of combined damage to the mucous membrane of the oral cavity and periodontal tissue. The severity of the damage to these organs and tissues is also determined by the psychological characteristics of individuals. These points are important not only for understanding the causality of the combined pathology of the periodontal and oral mucosa, but also for choosing the optimal tactics for treating such dental patients.
 The aim of the work was to analyze the role of psychosomatic correlations in the occurrence and development of the combined pathology of the periodontal and oral mucosa, determining the tactics of their treatment.
 32 patients were involved in the examination with pathological changes of periodontal and oral mucosa. The essential role of the emotional component in the genesis of diseases was confirmed. Taking into account the psychosomatic nature of the pathology in the experimental group of patients, recommendations were given on diet therapy, psychotherapy, autogenic training. General medical treatment for internists and dentists was maximally individualized, taking into account the psychological characteristics of the response to the disease, differentiated according to the nature of the existing diseases, severity, pathology. After 6 months of follow-up, a stable, reliable positive clinical result was obtained in all patients in the experimental group and in 64% in the control group. Accounting for the state of psychosomatic relationships in the mechanisms of origin, development, treatment of diseases is extremely important. This approach in the supervision of dental patients who have combined changes in periodontal tissues, the oral mucosa allows achieving positive results of treatment, both in relation to the condition of the oral cavity, and for the body as a whole.

Full textAbstract:
Vitiligo is a chronic idiopathic disease characterized by appearance of depigmented spots and discolored hairs in various parts of the body due to the destruction and reducing the number of melanocytes. Despite the absence of somatogenic appearance psychosomatic aspects of vitiligo are extremely relevant to study in view of high psychosocial significance associated with the pronounced stigmatizing effects. 62 vitiligo patients were examined. Among comorbid psychosomatic disorders there were found out psychogenic manifestations - 25 (40.3%) and nosogenic reactions due to stress effect of the dermatosis - 37 (50.7%): sociophobic - 17, masked hypochondria - 13, overvalued hypochondria of beauty - 7 patients. Psychogenic manifestations with the participation of objectively severe and subjectively significant factors can attribute vitiligo to psychosomatic skin diseases. In the clinical picture of nosogenic disorders, various forms of dissociation between the prevalence of dermatosis and subjective reaction to the cosmetic defect were revealed, which is due to the structure of the personality and somatoperceptive accentuation of the patient. The results can be implemented in dermatological practice, which will significantly optimize the treatment and compliance of patients with vitiligo. Objective: a complex clinical (dermatological, psychopathological) and psychological study of psychosomatic disorders in vitiligo.

This study attempts to determine whether the prolonged stay of people in an unfavorable environment, in our case the oil and gas (OG) region, affects their psychophysical health, makes them vulnerable, prone to psychosomatic diseases, creates psychological problems, or leads to internal conflicts. Participants (typically healthy people) were asked to answer questions based on the multidimensional fatigue inventory (MFI-20). The scale reflects the following five main dimensions of fatigue: General fatigue, physical fatigue, reduced activity, mental fatigue, and reduced motivation. Three of them, namely general fatigue, physical fatigue, and mental fatigue, are of particular importance for this work. The study revealed the psychological profiles of the population of the study region and concluded that the OG region poses a significant risk to public health with all the ensuing consequences.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract When investigating the etiology of diseases, epidemiological observational studies traditionally deemphasize psychosomatic associations. Exploring cognitive behavior provides an insight into how psychosomatic associations affect disease. Yoga philosophy identifies the kleshas (mental afflictions) of ignorance, ego, desire, hatred, and fear of death with disease. This is because individuals' perceptions and beliefs generate and reflect streams of thought that may shape their behavior and manifest as, or predispose them to, particular disease(s). The present study takes a yogic philosophical perspective to help elucidate unexplored associations between thinking about different aspects of life and the severity of Parkinson's disease (PD). The study involved a cross-sectional sample survey. Parkinson's New Zealand selected a random sample of 990 of its members. A self-completed questionnaire was sent to them. It asked questions about how often, over the previous 4 weeks, they had thought about 18 aspects of life commonly associated with the kleshas. A completed questionnaire was returned by 319 people (32%). Respondents thought most about family (87%), health (64%), rest and sleep (57%), food (53%), and the future (52%). They reported thinking least about work (48%), sex (45%), death (42%), and being virtuous (39%). A weak, but hypothesized positive, association (r = 0.2, p < 0.000) was detected between PD severity and thinking about death. The study could not determine whether thinking about death was (1) a cause or consequence of PD severity, and (2) a premorbid behavior. However, the possibility that stress associated with thinking about death accelerates PD progression is consistent with yoga philosophy and with neurophysiological mechanisms associated with the psychosomatic connections. The findings are worthy of future testing. A retrospective cohort study and qualitative research could deepen understanding about the role of kleshas in PD.

Full textAbstract:
Diagnosis of endometrioid heterotopias of the pelvic cavity is often complicated, because at the initial stage there are no characteristic sonographic signs of this pathology. However, transvaginal ultrasound can be used as the main imaging method in the patients with suspected endometriosis. Due to a wide variety of forms and degrees of endometriosis, the similarity of clinical signs of other diseases, frequent asymptomatic course of the disease are objective difficulties in the correct and timely diagnosis of endometrioid heterotopias of the pelvic cavity. Ultrasonography can be used both to detect and to monitor the dynamics of endometriosis. Transvaginal sonography allows a qualitative detection of endometrioid heterotopias of the pelvis and with a high probability to reveal endometrioid cysts, hydrosalpinx, hematosalpinx, peritoneal endometriosis and is considered the best method of visualization of the endometrium. There were examined 57 patients with various forms of endometrioid heterotopias of the pelvic organs by transvaginal ultrasonography, which was performed on the 5th−9th day of the menstrual cycle. Adenomyosis of various degrees has been diagnosed, which should be understood as a disease consisting of ectopic location of endometrial glands and stroma as well as muscle changes. Due to the variety of forms and degrees of endometriosis, combination with clinical signs of other diseases, often asymptomatic course of the disease, which leads to severe damage to the reproductive system, there are objective difficulties in correct and timely diagnosis of endometrioid heterotopias and pelvic cavity organs. Modern visual methods of transvaginal ultrasonography are the key to correctly determining the stage and extent of endometriosis, which will directly affect the choice of treatment. Key words: endometriosis, heterotopia, ultrasound diagnostics, pelvic cavity.

Full textAbstract:
Although uncommon, pubic ramus fractures are described in patients who have undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA). We describe two females with superior ramus pubis insufficiency fractures following THA. We consider the physiological and biomechanical aspects of those fractures, e.g. that the superior ramus pubis has the highest load stress on the pelvis (as has already been proved in a three-dimensional finite element model). Also being discussed are risk factors (intrinsic and extrinsic) for stress fractures and the management of insufficiency fractures. Both women suffered osteoporosis, obesity, and had a semisedentary lifestyle — all of which are known risks factors for insufficiency superior ramus pubis fracture to occur in a location which proved as a "weak link" zone after THA. Many of these fractures are undetected, mainly due to the lack of awareness of medical practitioners who attribute the clinical symptoms to other diseases; however, the differential diagnosis of groin pain within the first years following THA should include pubic ramus insufficiency fractures.

Full textAbstract:
Achalasia cardia (“cardiospasm”, “phrenospasm”, “dolichoesophagus”, “megaesophagus”, “stenosis of cardia”) represents a primary impairment of esophageal motor function associated with impaired lower esophageal sphincter relaxation and peristalsis defects of the thoracic esophagus. It is diagnosed at the age of 25 to 60 years, making up to 20% of all diseases of the esophagus, and is characterized by a triad of symptoms: dysphagia, regurgitation and chest pain when swallowing. In most cases the first manifestations of achalasia are preceded by stress situations in the anamnesis that complicates the differential diagnosis of psychogenic esophageal spasm. The presented clinical case illustrates difficulties of early diagnosis of achalasia cardia in a young femalepatient with severe anxiety and depressive symptoms which develop under conditions of chronic stressful situations in the family or at work. The issues of interdisciplinary interaction of health professionals (physician, gastroenterologist, psychiatrist, psychotherapist, and surgeon) on the course of examination and management of patients with comorbid physical and mental pathology are discussed. The efficiency of the integrative approach to treatment and rehabilitation with the use of modern reconstructive surgical interventions as well as conservative methods of therapy, psychopharmacotherapy and personality-oriented psychotherapy proves the relevance of studying psychosomatic aspects of achalasia cardia.

Individual alpha frequency (IAF) of electroencephalogram (EEG) is regarded as a neurophysiological endophenotypic indicator of cognitive activity featuring individual propensity to efficient cognitive performance and creativity. Considering that cognitive coping style is intrinsic part of emotional regulation, defining medical aspects of individual health as well as risks of psychosomatic diseases, we intended to assess IAF contribution into mechanisms of individual emotional reactivity. Participants and methods. As participants was healthy man subjects (n=62). Three models of laboratory induced emotions were used: emotional perception (1); anxious apprehension (awaiting of inescapable aversive punishment) (2); experience of discrete emotions of anger and joy (3). Results. It was revealed that high IAF individuals exhibit predisposition to prevalence of parasympathetic activity in the global circuit of autonomous regulation, proactive-like coping with inescapable threat, prevailing contribution of the positive emotional stance and better accessibility of recent positive memories. By contrast, low IAF subjects manifested predisposition to prevalence of sympathetic activity in the global circuit of autonomous regulation, maladaptive avoidance-like coping with inescapable threat, insufficiency positive emotional arousal mechanisms. Conclusions. It is suggested that IAF creates a «hardware» construct featuring individual emotional space and adaptability of coping styles to emotional challenges.

Full textAbstract:
A review of the literature and the author’s own reflections are devoted to the issues of detecting various forms of pathology, which, being often benign, could exist for a long time, if not all life. The author proposes a definition of the term. Adrenal incidentaloma is a combined working category (group) that includes various forms of adrenal pathology, mainly neoplastic, benign or malignant, with or without signs of hormonal activity, as well as formations of inflammatory, infectious, parasitic origin, the consequences of trauma, developmental abnormalities that are found accidentally when examining patients for extra-adrenal diseases. The epidemiological aspects of the adrenal incidentalomas are considered. Basically, these are tumors of the adrenal cortex or medulla, tumor-like formations (cyst, inflammatory “tumor”, hematoma). Adrenal incidentalomas are accidentally found during examination of persons with diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, retroperitoneal space, kidneys, spine, chest, and small pelvis. Another source of adrenal incidentaloma detection is autopsy systemic data and, rarely, abdominal surgeries. The prevalence of adrenal incidentalomas reaches 2–6 %. The most objective data can be obtained from autopsy materials. The frequency of adrenal incidentalomas found in vivo depends on the type of imaging techniques used (ultrasound, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging), age, features of the surveyed populations, the presence of concomitant diseases (arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, etc.), and the qualifications of the researcher. Recently, clinical guidelines proposing a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm have been published to help in clinical practice; however, several areas are still debatable and require further studies.

The article is devoted to the analysis of the origins of the method of profiling the identity of an unknown criminal. The development of the application of the possibilities of profiling the personality of a criminal and the practice of its application in the activities of law enforcement agencies in the investigation of crimes are investigated. Based on the concept of profiling, as from English. Profile is an integrated crime prevention technique by highlighting the characteristics of persons who committed a crime or are preparing to make it on the basis of psychological, criminological, criminalistic and sociological knowledge; a set of methods and techniques for assessing and predicting human behavior based on the analysis of the most informative signs, forensic portrait of a person, characteristics of appearance, non-verbal and verbal behavior, location, etc. We noted that there is a lot of research by foreign and Ukrainian scientists on the problems of using profiling technology, but not enough attention has been paid to the history of the practice of applying the profiling method. The main names of scientists and the features of their teachings were listed in the abstract, as the stages of development of the introduction of the profiling method in the practice of disclosing and investigating crimes by law enforcement agencies. We said that now the technology of the profiling method is not used as a mandatory measure in the investigation and disclosure of crimes. There are fundamentals of such activities, but it is too early to talk about the widespread use of profiling. At the same time, it can be noted that profiling was successfully used in the disclosure of some resonant crimes related to serial killings. We agreed with individual authors that research on forensic profiling and the behavioral aspects of crimes in Ukraine are in the early stages of development. We noted that since profiling is a young science, it is constantly evolving, and its fields of application are expanding. Today, profiling techniques are used in the field of preventive medicine to correct and prevent the emergence of diseases of psychosomatic etiology. There is also the so-called family profiling, with the help of which specialists try to help family members in solving their family problems. In addition to forensic, criminal and criminological, there is aviation, anti-terrorist, research, psychological, information security profiling, typological. Also, transport, hotel business profiling, personnel, banking and the like. We concluded that profiling technology is a universal comprehensive and modern tool that is advisable to use in law enforcement agencies in investigative, operational, personnel and administrative activities, etc. The history of its development is only gaining momentum. However, today, in law enforcement agencies, not only the profiling technique is not widely used. They do not use this term at all.

Full textAbstract:
Obesity is one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide. Numerous studies in recent years have identified obesity as a key cause of type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular disease. Comprehensive medical and non−medical treatment of metabolic disorders, obesity and correction of excess body weight are the urgent tasks for both the patient and doctor. When defining the obesity as a chronic psychosomatic disease caused by the interaction of numerous genetic and environmental factors there is emphasized the complexity of the problem, including psychological, medical, social, physical and economic aspects. The widespread prevalence of obesity, which determines its comorbid nature, dictates the need to clarify the principles and options for treatment and prevention. In the process of active study, the multicomponent pathogenesis of obesity with the important role of different parts of the brain determines the relevance of a combination of pharmacotherapy and lifestyle intervention. In pharmacotherapy, the weight correction is an important component and reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications, improves quality of life and prognosis. The basis of weight correction measures is a change in lifestyle, increased physical activity and alteration in diet in order to achieve a balance between energy consumption and expenditure. Weight loss is accompanied with an increased tissue sensitivity to insulin, improved lipid metabolism, elimination of latent inflammation, lowering blood pressure and, accordingly, plays a critical role in prevention of the associated diseases and reducing the risk of complications. The fight against obesity is not only an improvement in the patient general condition, but also a great economic benefit, as the doses of drugs are reduced or the need for hypolipidemic, antidiabetic and antihypertensive drugs disappears. Key words: obesity, metabolic syndrome, diabetes mellitus, cardiometabolic risk, microbiota, insulin resistance, treatment, prevention.

For the first time on the basis of clinical and laboratory researches were revealed the correlation of indicators of lipid metabolism, platelet level of hemostasis and general reactivity in patients with chronic inflammatory processes of the genital system. The new pathogenetic aspects of the course of inflammatory diseases have been established. It has been shown that chronic inflammatory process is accompanied by disorders of lipid metabolism. The degree of severity of these changes depends on the severity of the inflammatory process, the reduction of phagocytic activity of polymorphonuclear leukocytes and the activation of macrophage and specific cellular mechanisms, accompanied by auto-intoxication. It is established that the frequency of atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias, as well as the intensity of lipid peroxidation increases in accordance with the increase age of the examined patients. Most atherogenic dyslipoproteinemias are found in patients with viral and chlamydial infections. The summarized data of the correlation analysis allow us to establish that the growth of atherogenic properties of blood plasma of patients with chronic inflammatory processes of the reproductive system occurs in accordance with the increase of adhesive-aggregation properties of platelets and damage of the vascular endothelium. These shifts occur in parallel with the predominance of the monocyte-macrophage linkage of phagocytosis against the background of reduced activity of neutrophils and cellular mechanisms of development of immunopathological reactions.

The article reviewed the modern empirical studies of alexithymia, summarized the theoretical understanding of the phenomenon of alexithymia, describes the difficulties faced by the people with a high level of alexithymia and suggested tips on psychological work with the alexithymic people. The novelty of this research consists in the formulation of the aspects of the practical work of a psychologist in order to increase the level of the adaptation of the alexithymics and improve the quality of their life. At the moment, this problem is covered in only a small amount of research. The main result of the article is the identification of the areas of psychological work with the alexithymics: (1) the improvement of the connection with the body; (2) the correction of personality problems; (3) the psychological assistance in the harmonization of the interpersonal relations. It has been shown that disrupted connection with the body is one of the most significant problems of the alexithymics and the factor which contributes to the development of psychosomatic diseases. For the improvement of the connection with the body the authors suggest such types of psychological work as the differentiation of physical feelings, a fuller understanding of the body map, the ability to control the condition of the body, the acceptance of the body and the increase in the satisfaction with it. The ways of working with the most significant personality problems of the alexithymics are singled out (correction of non-adaptive coping-strategies, low level of life satisfaction, rigidity, and instability of the emotional sphere). The areas of work on improving the relations of the alexithymics with the surrounding people are highlighted (gaining more knowledge about the emotional sphere, working with friends and relatives, teaching communication skills, taking into account the influence of alexithymia). Finally, the conclusion is made about the importance of the integrated psychological work with the people with a high level of alexithymia in order to develop the specific tools for comprehensive assistance to alexithymics.

Full textAbstract:
Background. The usage of psychoactive substances (PS) is one of the most urgent among other medical and social problems of nowadays. One of the aspects of menacing nature of this phenomenon is psychological and somatic consequences, so called comorbid conditions, which in the future lead to severe psychosomatic disorders, more significant in young or old age. Contemporary medical reform in Ukraine has reoriented for family doctors general medical care to somatic patients, which, in turn, requires the creation of professional scientific and practical developments to provide them with qualified assistance.
 Objective – to develop of the system of diagnostic and medical care for somatic patients who use PS in the practice of family medicine.
 Materials and methods. In accordance with the relevant methods (clinical, anamnestic, socio-demographic, psychodiagnostic, clinical-psychopathological and statistical), 220 thematic patients who applied with somatic complaints to the family doctor were examined. All these patients take different kinds of PS.
 Results. Characteristic features of the examined patients were such as: prevailing age group was the senior group of people (60%), the youngest was 38%; a large proportion of respondents were educated in dysfunctional families (42%); the families in which the parents use of PS, in the families in which there where systematic conflicts, material and everyday problems, burdened heredity, concomitant somatic diseases (28%), etc. Most of these surveyed began to use PS in the age of teenagers (66%), a significantly smaller number was that one who had begun to use PS in elderly age. The motivation for the usage of surfactant in the younger group was dominated by the negative impact of the micro-environment, at the elder age we diagnostic the subjective deprivation of the patients from difficult social circumstances, improvement of general mental and physical conditions. The complaints of these patients who need a help of family doctors were formed by us in the form of the main profiles of somatic pathology: cardiovascular, pulmonary-respiratory, gastro-intestinal. In the mental plan these patients had depressive, disturbing, asthenic states in different proportions. Most of them who use PS prefer tobacco and alcohol or combined forms (72%), much less patients use PS. The developed system of early diagnostics of comorbid pathology is based on a four-level clinical characteristic of psychosomatic pathology with the appropriate correlation between the type and level of PS which had been used.
 Conclusions. The main profiles of somatization in these cases were outlined (48% of patients have the problems with the cardiovascular system, with the digestive tract – 32%, with the pulmonary-respiratory system – 20% of patients), which were combined with mental illnesses. The system of early diagnostics of the usage of psychoactive substances by somatic patients was developed with the help of corresponding AUDIT-tests, a number of parallel psycho-diagnostic methods and laboratory data. On the basis of characteristic features of anamnesis, socio-demographic, clinical psycho-pathological and somatic data, a system of psycho-therapeutic, rehabilitation and psycho-prophylaxis assistance to the patients in the practice of family medicine was developed.

Este ensaio objetiva refletir sobre as doenças psicossomáticas no ambiente de trabalho. As doenças psicossomáticas, dentre elas a depressão, são os grandes males que acometem a nossa sociedade atualmente. A depressão se caracteriza pela perda ou diminuição de interesse e prazer pela vida, gerando angústia e prostração, sintoma da melancolia permanente. Essa doença pode ser desenvolvida por diversas razões, mas na sociedade atual ela vem sendo percebida e notada com maior frequência e não raro ligadas ao trabalho. As doenças psiquiátricas são ignoradas por muitas empresas, que não reconhecem a gravidade e as enxergam apenas como uma situação emocional passageira ou como falta de disposição pessoal para o trabalho, utilizando-se da conhecida prática de atribuir culpa à própria vitima. O presente ensaio objetiva a análise da possibilidade de se caracterizar a depressão como doença do trabalho, procurando delimitar até que ponto a enfermidade e o trabalho repercutem um sobre o outro, numa relação de causa e efeito, ressaltando os principais aspectos referentes aos conhecimentos relativos à depressão, em especial no ambiente de trabalho. Assim, o método empregado é o dialético dedutivo, a partir da análise documental de dados que informam a gravidade do problema, o seu tratamento no âmbito legislativo, doutrinário e jurisprudencial, diante da realidade social instalada pela nova geração conhecida como tecnológica e informacional, na qual valores humanos pretéritos passam a ter menor relevo, em especial frente à realidade do capital. Essa liquidez de entendimento social, em especial pelo empregador, lança grande desafio para a proteção do adoecido e a efetivação das suas garantias fundamentais no meio ambiente de trabalho.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Depressão. Meio ambiente de trabalho. Transtorno psicológico. Proteção legal ao trabalhador. Doença do Trabalho.
 Abstract
 This essay aims to reflect on psychosomatic diseases in the work environment. Psychosomatic illnesses, among them depression, are the great evils that affect our society today. Depression is characterized by the loss or diminution of interest and pleasure in life, generating anguish and prostration, a symptom of permanent melancholy. This disease can be developed for a number of reasons, but in today's society it has been perceived and noticed more frequently and often associated with work. Psychiatric illnesses are ignored by many companies, who do not recognize their gravity and see them only as a transient emotional situation or as a lack of personal disposition for work, using the well-known practice of blaming the victim his or herself. This essay aims at analyzing the possibility of characterizing depression as a work disease, trying to delimit the extent to which illness and work affect one another, in a relation of cause and effect, highlighting the main aspects related to the existing knowledge on depression, especially in the work environment. Thus, the method employed is the deductive dialectic, based on the analysis of data that inform the seriousness of the problem, its treatment in the legal, doctrinal and jurisprudential contexts, in light of the social reality brought forth by the new generation known as technological and informational, in which human values from the past have become less important, especially in relation to the reality of capital. This liquidity of social understanding, especially by the employer, launches a great challenge for the protection of the sick person and for the realization of their fundamental guarantees in the working environment.KEYWORDS: Depression. Work environment. Psychological disorder. Legal protection to the worker. Work Sickness.

Despite numerous studies devoted to the etiological factors and pathogenetic aspects of infertility, the lack of a comprehensive analysis of the causes of ovarian dysfunction and the exact diagnosis leads to the polypharmacy of hormonal drugs and their low effectiveness. One of the less well known and poorly studied factors is pelvic venous complications, including varicose veins of the ovaries. Violation of venous circulation in the pelvic organs plays a significant role in the structure of gynecological pathology, particularly in the development of ovarian dysfunction. The purpose of our study was to analyze the clinical characteristics of women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele, namely the features of anamnesis of life, gynecological and somatic anamnesis, the study of which allows to assess and determine the risk factors, possible causes of ovarian dysfunction and the formation of varicose veins. To solve the goals and objectives, were prospectively examined and divided into 2 groups for the comparative analysis 117 pregnant women of reproductive age (21–44 years old) with functional infertility: the main group was 62 women with infertility and varicose veins in the ovaries; comparison group has 55 women with infertility without varicose veins. Patients were examined by a specially designed questionnaire, which included the results of gynecological and somatic anamnesis, anamnesis of life. In the main group of women there is an increased proportion of women with intellectual differentiation of labor and psycho-emotional and physical activity, which may be the basis for the formation of maladaptation syndrome with the subsequent occurrence of functional disorders of the reproductive system. In addition, conditions of work with considerable physical activity can indirectly have a negative effect on venous hemodynamics in the small pelvis. Women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele had a high incidence of infectious diseases in childhood — 83.9%. It is precisely at the stage of formation of reproductive function that the action of an infectious factor can be significant in the occurrence of violations of complete oogenesis in the subsequent reproductive life of patients. Attention is drawn to the large number of inflammatory diseases of the internal organs in women as the main group and the comparison group in the study of the somatic anamnesis: from the otolaryngologic organs — 48.3%, respiratory organs – 54.7%, genitourinary system — 43.5% and in the structure of gynecological diseases: inflammation of ovaries — 43.5%, vagina and cervix — 25.8%, suggesting that factors of violations of folliculogenesis in active reproductive age may be inflammatory diseases of the genitals. There is a significant percentage of dyshormonal abnormalities in the form of abnormal uterine bleeding in the structure of gynecological pathology in women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele (30.6%) against patients with infertility without structural changes in ovarian veins. Patients with infertility are more likely to point out dysgharmony of sexual life (58.1%), which in patients with varicose veins in the pelvic organs was accompanied by dyspareunia (32.2%), suggesting the role of chronic stress as a risk factor for ovarian dysfunction, which is also exacerbated by the presence pain of syndrome in the lower abdomen in women of the main group (77,4%). The more significant percentage of gynecological pathology of endocrine genesis in women with functional infertility and ovaricovaricocele and the presence of certain extragenital pathology, which affects the formation of pelvic pelvic flooring in comparison with patients with infertility without structural changes in ovarian veins, is established during the analysis of the clinical characteristics of the significant percentage of venous hemodynamics in the functional properties of the ovary and induces further investigation of the role of varicose veins of the pelvic reservoirs, in particular ovariсovariсocele, in the pathogenesis of ovarian dysfunction in order to further develop the methods of therapeutic correction.

Full textAbstract:
This review discusses the pair of opposites named introversion and extraversion by Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung in its biological foundation and psychosomatic implications. Jung’s typology was the reference for Elida Evans’ book on cancer in 1926, which would be the basis of American psycho-oncology and of a holistic approach to cancer patients. It is shown that introversion and extraversion have been widely used in psychology and psychiatry, even without any reference to Jung. Moreover, these concepts have been used for somatic illnesses. In 1990, independently of each other, George A. Bonanno and Jerome L. Singer of Yale University (USA) and Marco Balenci of Sapienza University of Rome (Italy) conceived two similar comprehensive models of diseases - both in their physical and psychic aspects - based on the psychophysical balance of opposite attitudes. Persistent dualism in Western medicine may explain the lack of development of these models. Actually, this kind of model derives from a holistic view, which was advocated by George L. Engel in the United States, giving relevance to biopsychosocial factors. Despite the increasing discoveries of psychoneuroimmunology and developmental psychobiology can provide a new scientific impetus to the individual-as-a-whole, this perspective still has greater convergence with Eastern medicine

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Women with breast cancer may present, in addition to physical limitations, changes in emotional aspects. In physical therapy, it is unusual to consider the mind-body dialogue, even when it comes to diseases with great impact on bio-psychosocial aspects, such as breast cancer. However, therapies are emerging with a psychosomatic nature, such as morphonalitic therapy, which includes bodily, sensory, emotional and verbal aspects. Objective: To verify the effects of morphonalitic therapy on the treatment of anxiety, depression and self-esteem in women after breast cancer. Furthermore, it presents some verbal reports of sessions in order to include the feelings and sensations of these women and recognize, in addition to objective factors, the subjective factors that are an integral part of human stories. Method: Ten women participated in the study, undergoing 16 individual morphonalitic therapy sessions, once a week, lasting 60 minutes. They completed a scale on anxiety and depression and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. The sessions were arranged through a structured therapeutic framework, which varied according to the therapeutic process of each participant. This included bodywork, empathetic touching contact, eye contact, stimulation of body awareness, and analysis of the patient’s body structure; during the session, the patients verbalized their feelings. Results: Depressive symptoms decreased (p = 0.0418) and self-esteem increased (p = 0.0020) after treatment. Conclusions: During the sessions, these women experienced various feelings, beyond the awakening of body awareness. It is hoped that morphonalitic therapy be applied on a larger scale as an adjunct therapy for women with breast cancer, as well as in other populations.

Full textAbstract:
Pruritus is a key symptom in allergology and dermatology, contributing to the global and huge impact on quality of life related to skin disorders, both those which are not related to a primary dermatosis (illness) and those which are linked with primary skin lesions (disease). This is particularly evident within psychophysiological dermatoses, a group of psychodermatological diseases where there is a primary dermatosis, where psychological stress plays a role, and where pruritus may represent a major and shared symptom. The etiopathogenesis of pruritus in those disorders sheds light on the link among psychopathological features, psychological stress and the subtle interface between allergic and autoimmune mechanisms, where mast cells play a pivotal role. Allergy has long been recognised as an altered reactivity to exogenous antigens (allergens), defined as an immediate hypersensitivity mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). In turn, the immunological understanding of atopy is related to an immediate hypersensitivity reaction to environmental antigens involving T-helper 2 (Th2) responses and the IgE production. Mast cells are major cells in the early phase of allergy, releasing the mediators involved in the symptoms associated with the allergic disease, including pruritus, when the allergen cross-links with IgE, whose mechanisms can be observed in acute urticaria and atopy. Some allergic reactions may persist and allergy may eventually lead to autoimmunity, with the development of a T-helper 1 (Th1) and then IgE-independent inflammation. For instance, in chronic spontaneous urticaria, the mast cell activation may include autoimmune mechanisms, where autoantibodies against the extracellular α subunit of the high-affinity IgE receptor (FcεRIα) and to IgE are observed, with the involvement of Th1 lymphocytes and the production of interferon-γ (INF-γ). The role of autoimmunity is also suggested in the etiopathogenesis of other psychophysiological dermatoses, namely psoriasis, atopic dermatitis and alopecia areata. In the latter, for example, mast cells were reported to be linked with the loss of immune privilege and they are the key cells involved in the experience of pruritus, whose intensity was reported to precede and be correlated with the onset of the hair loss. Furthermore, considering that the role of hair and skin is wide, from psychosocial aspects (communication and social interaction) to vital functions (such as, temperature control), it is straightforward that they are central in our interactions and synchronization with others and the world; thereby, we may admit that the psychophysiological dermatoses could represent a loss of such synchronization. Furthermore, they are often linked with psychopathology which strongly connects with the concept of desynchronization, namely, sleep disorders and depressive symptoms, the clinical expression of a dysfunction in the interplay among mast cells, pineal gland and melatonin, thus the circadian rhythm, as well as their connection with the hypothalamic corticotrophin-releasing hormone (CRH), well-known for its key role in stress response. Moreover, increasing evidence has supported the existence of cutaneous equivalents for these mechanisms, connecting with those central pathways. Thereby, taking all these concepts into consideration, this review intends to look into the updated evidence on the shared biological mechanisms between allergy and autoimmunity, underlining pruritus as a core element, then revisiting the key role of mast cells and discussing the connection with melatonin and immune-inflammatory pathways in the physiopathology of psychophysiological dermatoses, thus paving the way for the understanding of their psychosomatic correlates and a comprehensive psychodermatological approach.

"Features of the Cognitive Component "Self-Concept" Structure in Middle-Aged Women with Different Stages of Varicose Veins." Visnyk of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. A Series of Psychology, no. 69 (2020). http://dx.doi.org/10.26565/2225-7756-2020-69-05.
Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the structural features of the cognitive component of the "I-concept" in middle-aged women. They are at different stages of development of varicose veins. The cognitive component of the “I-concept” is a significant prerequisite for the manifestation of potential behavioral reactions. In modern psychological science, the most studied are aspects related to the psychosomatic manifestation of varicose veins, issues related to the psychological causes of varicose veins and the effect of the disease on the human psyche. At the same time, the question of how the level of development of varicose veins manifests itself in the features of the "I-concept" (in particular, its cognitive component) remains insufficiently studied. The study involved 50 women (35-40 years old) with varying degrees of development of varicose veins. The first group included 25 women with varicose veins of the first stage (no surgical intervention is required). The second group consisted of 25 women with the second stage of the disease (with surgery). According to the survey, the main causes of the disease were quite different. This is a sports load, a criterion for heredity, diseases during pregnancy, etc. There were revealed certain similarities and differences in the manifestations of the cognitive component of the "I-concept" of the personality of these women, depending on the stage of development of varicose veins. General factors were determined that describe the nature of the relationship between the elements of the cognitive component "I-concept" and a certain stage of varicose veins in middle-aged women. Individual psychological characteristics of the personality play a major role in the manifestation of types of self-attitude in middle-aged women with different stages of development of varicose veins. The nature of the relationship between the types of attitudes, self-attitudes towards the disease, the degrees of clarity of the "I‑concept" is different. A more complex and diverse nature of the relationship is inherent in a group of women with a medication type of treatment.
