Abstract:

This chapter provides a broad overview of the fear circuitry implicated in the development and maintenance of posttraumatic stress disorder. It begins by reviewing evidence from animal models of fear conditioning and extinction that unveiled the neural structures incorporated in the fear circuitry. Then it explores the translation of these findings to healthy human models of fear conditioning and finally examines the neural dysfunctions highlighted by neuroimaging studies of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in order to conceptualize mechanisms of fear extinction and the role of impaired fear extinction in contributing to the pathology of PTSD. The chapter ends with the potential therapeutic interventions for the treatment of PTSD in the scope of this model but with a note of caution regarding some of its limitations.

Abstract:

Chapter 3, “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Theory and Practice,” presents the history, examines the theoretical underpinnings, and explains the essential skills and techniques of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Theoretical principles, such as cognitive distortions, underlying assumptions and schema, and their presentation in older adults, are discussed. The treatment approach of CBT is outlined, including the nature of the therapeutic relationship, changing cognitions, behavioral strategies, the use of homework in treatment, and special considerations and adaptations for practice with older clients. Various contexts and settings where CBT is implemented are summarized, such as individual and group settings within community-based, acute-care, and long-term-care facilities. The chapter ends with the case example of cognitive behavioral treatment with an older female caregiver, which highlights and illustrates CBT practice with older adults.

Abstract:

In WHAT GOOD ARE THE ARTS? (2005), a polemic aimed at shredding many longstanding conceptions of art and aesthetic judgement, the literary critic John Carey briefly discusses a bibliotherapy project established over a decade earlier in West Yorkshire by John Duffy. This was a project in which patients with depression, stress and anxiety disorders were given the opportunity to participate in reading groups, book advice surgeries and other literacy activities, having been referred to the service by mental health practitioners – an alternative to the anti-depressant medication commonly prescribed to such patients by GPs. The service users in question were ‘helped by art’, in Carey’s words, not treated by pharmacological means. The initiative demonstrated the potential therapeutic benefits of reading books, while seeming to dismantle the languid association of art with uselessness or transcendence, as distilled in W. H. Auden’s phrase, ‘poetry makes nothing happen.’ For Carey, bibliotherapy programmes like this one could not help also rubbing up against established notions of literary value, in turn reviving old questions over the nature and ends of art generally.

Abstract:

In Chapter 5, the volume turns to the second category of domestic colonies, namely, farm colonies for the ‘irrational’ (the mentally ill, disabled, and those with epilepsy), focusing on the first farm colonies in Europe and then America through archival records and secondary literature but also the justifications advanced in their defence by domestic colonialists including Walter Fernald, Charles Bernstein, and Henry Goddard. The chapter shows how these defenders of the farm colony repeatedly deployed the same arguments used by external colonialists to justify farm colonies, namely, both the economic benefits of colonization (working the land creates revenues to offset the cost to the state of maintaining such populations) and ethical benefits (segregation and farm labour had therapeutic value). Finally, while most historians view farm colonies as the product of eugenics, I argue that domestic colonialism provides a better explanation. Indeed, domestic colonies were viewed as institutions that served eugenicist ends but also were alternatives to both eugenics and the constraints of asylums. Thus, as sterilization was introduced, colonialists in America such as Bernstein rejected it, and argued for the colony as an alternative solution.

Abstract:

Many survivors of cardiac arrest, especially out-of-hospital cardiac arrest, suffer varying degrees of anoxic-ischaemic brain injury. Accurate neurological prognostication to determine which patients will have poor neurological outcome is important to guide appropriate medical care and advise surrogate decision makers. Accurate prognostication generally requires the presence of two or more negative prognostic indicators, especially following treatment with therapeutic hypothermia. Medical care should be directed at achieving survival that the patient would consider acceptable. Poor quality survival is generally defined as severe disability with full dependency, minimally-conscious, or vegetative state. Discussions regarding prognosis and management of patients who remain unresponsive after resuscitation from cardiac arrest should be conducted in a professional manner and show respect for the individuals involved, their culture, and religion.

The chapter “Introduction to Shock” reviews the definition, classification, epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and therapeutic goals of shock. It examines the cardiovascular factors and mechanisms leading to impaired oxygen delivery and its effect on end organ perfusion and the pathogenesis of shock. This chapter reviews the compensatory mechanisms in shock that cause the signs and symptoms, along with organ manifestations, reported in patients with acute circulatory failure. This chapter also discusses the limitations and benefits of different monitoring modalities during shock management including central venous pressure, mixed venous oxygen saturation, and echocardiography. Finally, it considers therapeutic goals and treatments to restore perfusion and reverse the shock state.

Abstract:

While the HIV/AIDS pandemic continues, the overall incidence of HIV infections has fallen through use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and multiple prevention modalities. To achieve a durable end to the pandemic and avoid the requirement for daily antiretroviral medication over a lifetime, a safe and effective prophylactic vaccine remains essential. This chapter reviews current advances in prophylactic and therapeutic HIV-1 vaccine strategies and the challenges that lie ahead. Recent success in isolation of potent broadly neutralizing antibodies (bnAbs) from infected individuals, the discovery of mechanisms of bnAb induction, and progress in understanding mechanisms of CD8 T-cell killing of HIV-infected cells and the structure of the HIV envelope trimer have opened new strategies for HIV vaccine design. On the therapeutic front, the persistence of HIV reservoirs remains a formidable obstacle to achieving sustained virological remission in HIV-infected individuals after ART is discontinued. Development of a new generation of immune-based therapeutic agents might contribute to a curative intervention. The chapter closes with an overview of ethical challenges in vaccine development and clinical testing.

Winner, Ellen. Does Making Art Improve Well-Being? Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780190863357.003.0014.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter considers the claim that making art is therapeutic. Evidence that the arts are therapeutic comes from studies showing that art making in young children living in poverty relieves physiological indices of stress. And when we draw, mood improves. Why? Both Aristotle and Freud believed that the arts are cathartic. For Aristotle, watching a tragedy arouses pity and fear, which at the end “flood” out of us, leaving us calm. For Freud, making art involved sublimating forbidden urges in a socially acceptable way, resulting in tension release. But research shows another mechanism at work: making art pulls us away from negative affect, distracting us from our problems. Whether more intensive involvement in the arts can relieve stress, not via distraction but through the process of venting and working through difficulties, remains a distinct possibility.

Abstract:

There is a lack of validated psychotherapeutic interventions for the adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer population, despite years of evidence of significant need. AYAs with cancer experience distress, anxiety, grief, life disruption, and loss of meaning. Meaning-making is a core developmental task of adolescence and contributes to identity development. This chapter reviews narrative and structural theories of identity development, viewed through the lens of a disruptive life event such as cancer. Clinical therapeutic issues are discussed, including the selection of AYA patients for participation in meaning-centered work, the therapeutic approach to difficult subjects such as prognosis or end of life, working with parents and caregivers, and dealing with grief and suicidality in a meaning-centered framework. Formal development of a manualized meaning-centered psychotherapy for AYAs is also discussed. A clinical vignette is presented to illustrate the main themes of a meaning-centered psychotherapeutic approach.

Abstract:

Primary systemic vasculitis frequently leads to renal involvement and is responsible for significant numbers of patients progressing to end-stage renal disease. Frequently this is due to small vessel vasculitis, in association with antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody, which requires prompt recognition and timely therapeutic intervention to optimize renal and patient outcomes. Other organ systems are often affected. Relapses occur in about 50%.Less commonly medium or larger vessel vasculitis may involve the kidneys and through ischaemia lead to impaired renal function and renovascular hypertension, as in Takayasu’s or Kawasaki disease, and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN).

Abstract:

Management of perioperative emergencies caused by toxins, whether consumed by a patient or iatrogenic, requires a rapid assessment of patient stability and unique inquiry into the historical and clinical context leading to the patient condition. Unlike many other crises in the perioperative period, toxin-related end-organ instability often has a specific therapeutic agent required for reversal and recovery. In this section, each perioperative crisis will be described according to the pathophysiologic derangements that a clinician will encounter in both physical exam and laboratory findings. This will be followed with recommendations concerning proper patient assess for diagnosis and the a description of recommended management steps to be undertaken.

Abstract:

Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms are a major feature of very low glomerular filtration rate and may be the presenting feature in some patients presenting late with renal failure. GI haemorrhage is increased in frequency inpatient with renal failure, even more so in those given therapeutic anticoagulation. There are some differences in likely causes. Oral bowel cleansing preparations that contain phosphate are dangerous in patients with CKD as they may cause phosphate crystallization in the kidneys: the resulting AKI may have limited reversibility. Patients with end stage renal disease have an increased incidence of bowel and other malignancies, best studied after transplantation. Those on peritoneal dialysis present particular issues for colonoscopy.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite improvements in short-term renal allograft survival, long-term survival has not appreciably changed. Excepting death with a functioning graft, most late graft loss results from chronic allograft dysfunction. Immune and non-immune-mediated injuries contribute to graft dysfunction over time, ultimately leading to a non-specific and irreversible histological end-point of fibrosis, tubular atrophy, and glomerulosclerosis. Screening and early identification of pathology is crucial to allow timely intervention in order to prevent permanent nephron damage and graft loss. This chapter outlines assessment of renal dysfunction following transplantation, defines the causes of chronic allograft failure, and their pathophysiology, and evaluates current therapeutic strategies used to improve or stabilize chronic allograft dysfunction.

Full text

Abstract:

Many haematological issues can complicate end-of-life care, including cytopenias and venous thromboembolism (VTE). Anaemia is very common and can significantly impact quality of life; causes include haemorrhage, iron deficiency, nutritional deficiencies, and bone marrow infiltration. Neutropenia from bone marrow failure as a result of disease infiltration or from chemotherapy effects can result in life-threatening infections. Finally, VTE is commonly seen in cancer patients as well as those who require prolonged hospitalization. Symptoms can cause discomfort, mortality is increased, and treatment is associated with major bleeding. Understanding the therapeutic options and their adverse side effects is essential in the management of these complex problems. Despite the presence of effective therapies, it is also important to realize that events such as febrile neutropenia and pulmonary embolism are often seen at the end of life and intervention may not always impact prognosis. The risks of intervention should be weighed against expected benefits when developing appropriate palliative care plans.

Full text

Abstract:

Despite best efforts, a substantial proportion of patients admitted to intensive care units die either during care or after a trial of intensive supportive therapy that fails to improve the patient’s well-being. The duality of hope and death challenges clinicians, family members of desperately ill patients, and sometimes the patients themselves. Given this high prevalence of mortality, it is incumbent upon intensive medicine units to develop the skills and therapeutic environment that can effectively deal with humane end-of-life care. This is reflected in a growing medical literature, the development of clinical standards, and in a new research agenda addressing the needs of intensive care patients, their families, and the clinicians caring for them. This chapter reviews these developments and outlines frameworks for care strategies, symptom management, and quality improvement initiatives.

Full text

Abstract:

End-stage renal failure is a major cause of death with currently only dialysis and transplantation available as therapeutic options, each with its own limitations and drawbacks. To allow regenerative medicine-based kidney replacement therapies and due to the fact that neither haematopoietic stem cells nor mesenchymal stem cells, the most accessible human stem cells, can be used to derive genuine nephron progenitors, much attention has been given to finding adult renal stem cells. Several candidates for this have been described, but their true identity as stem or progenitor cells and their potential use in therapy has not yet been shown. However, the analysis of embryonic renal stem cells, specifically stem/progenitor cells that are induced into the nephrogenic pathway to form nephrons until the 34th week of gestation, has been much more conclusive.

Abstract:

Primary glomerulonephritis is one of the most common kidney diseases, and a main cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Glomerulonephritis has multiple subtypes, each with different physiopathologies, clinical presentation, and management requirements, which makes treatment difficult. As a complex set of diseases, the choice of symptomatic and specific treatment is critical to ameliorating the relentless course of glomerulonephritis. Focusing on all subtypes of primary glomerulonephritis, from epidemiology and classification, to pathogenesis and treatment, this volume includes the latest research and evidence-based practice. With a strong emphasis on drugs used for both symptomatic and specific treatments, the mechanisms of action, effectiveness, and potential toxicity are considered for therapeutic strategies in the different subtypes of primary glomerulonephritis. Each chapter follows a clear and logical format that allows easy access to key information, and provides extensive references for further information.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter argues that, in addition to becoming more powerful and confident as Oedipus at Colonus progresses, Oedipus undergoes an internal process of defining what he views as true about himself and the world. Throughout the play, Oedipus gradually articulates and defends his discovery of himself as a complex and differentiated subject that overcomes the psychological challenges posed by his traumatic past. These challenges include the threats of enduring guilt, shame, alienation, purposelessness, fear of annihilation, and lack of aspiration. The end of the play finds Oedipus a hero in a hard-won state of psychic health, newly absolved and the benefactor of his own rational self-insight and imagination. All in all, the figure and characteristic activity of Oedipus while he is in Colonus can be said to express a therapeutic process that centers on Oedipus’s establishing a complex but ordered picture of his various images of truth and reality.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the “usability” of pregnancy apps, particularly in terms of their usefulness and user satisfaction, to understand their appeal to a growing number of expectant parents, most—but not all—of whom are women. To this end, the chapter analyzes the aesthetic, therapeutic, and technical design of nine pregnancy apps available in the iTunes store. It also looks at the user reviews that accompanied the apps. On the one hand, the chapter reveals that the architecture and design of pregnancy apps enhance satisfaction among many expectant parents, especially women, by providing them with a range of support tools, options for personalization, and the ability to access support whenever and wherever they need it. On the other hand, the gendered and heteronormative assumptions built into the apps' designs perpetuate hegemonic discourses regarding pregnancy and parenting that can leave some expectant parents, especially fathers, frustrated with their app experience.
