Full textAbstract:
Pathological laughter is an uncommon symptom usually caused by bilateral, diffuse cerebral lesions. It has rarely been reported in association with isolated cerebral lesions. Midbrain involvement causing pathological laughter is extremely unusual. We describe three patients who developed pathological laughter after midbrain and pontine-midbrain infarction. In two patients a small infarction in the left paramedian midbrain was detected, whereas the third one sustained a massive bilateral pontine infarction extending to the midbrain. Laughter heralded stroke by one day in one patient and occurred as a delayed phenomenon three months after stroke in another. Pathological laughter ceased within a few days in two patients and was still present at a two year follow-up in the patient with delayed-onset laughter. Pathological laughter can herald midbrain infarction or follow stroke either shortly after onset of symptoms or as a delayed phenomenon. Furthermore, small unilateral midbrain infarctions can cause this rare complication.

Objective Schizophrenia has been associated with dysfunction of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Furthermore, alterations in neurotrophic factors might contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia. We aimed to evaluate the effects of a simulated laughter intervention on the levels of cortisol and BDNF and to determine whether the effects associated with simulated laughter could be sustained after discontinuation of the intervention. Methods In this randomized controlled study, patients with schizophrenia according to DSM-IV clinical criteria were randomly assigned to receive either 8-week-long simulated laughter intervention (n=32) or treatment-as-usual group (control group, n=27). The serum levels of BDNF and cortisol were measured at baseline, week 8, and four weeks after discontinuation (week 12) of the intervention program.Results After an 8-week simulated laughter intervention, the laughter group had significantly higher levels of BDNF; however, four weeks after discontinuation of the intervention, the levels of BDNF significantly dropped. Interestingly, the levels of cortisol did not change significantly at week 8, but they were significantly elevated at week 12. The levels of BDNF and cortisol in the control group did not change significantly between week 0 and week 8.Conclusion These findings suggest that the simulated laughter intervention has an early effect on neurogenesis with a significant delayed effect on stress regulation in subjects with schizophrenia.

Full textAbstract:
Interactive aspects of communication include the following categories embodied in the metacommunicative elements of discourse, one of which is speech mode. The article focuses on pattern identification of communicative effect on the recipient by varying serious and humorous modes of the speech. The attention is paid to the identification of the initial strategies of communicative effect in both serious and humorous mode of English ideative speech. Communicative mode is an emotionally-stylistic communication format that occurs during the interaction between communicants and determines their changing attitudes and the choice of all means of communication. Serious mode orients the subjects of discourse to perceive communicative action as the one corresponding to norms. Humorous mode orients the subjects of discourse to perceive communicative action as the one inconsistent with norms. The paper gives results of inferential analysis of responsive actions on how successful the ideators’ speeches are according to the recipients’ instant and delayed responsive actions. The evaluation of communicative success has been conducted with the help of inferencial analysis of verbal and non-verbal actions of the audience taking into account instant and delayed responsive actions, in particular total number of the recording views, average monthly number of views; laughter, applause, cheers, murmur.

Full textAbstract:
Angelman syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by mental retardation and severe speech delay, movement disorders and ataxia, dysmorphic features, and behavioral disorders. Angelman syndrome is caused by the loss of the 15q11.2-q13 region of chromosome 15 received from the mother, which leads to a violation of the expression of the UBE3A gene.Purpose. To analyze clinical manifestations in children with Angelman syndrome to identify early-onset and characteristic clinical signs.Characteristics of children and research methods. The study included 60 children. In all cases, Angelman syndrome was diagnosed on the basis of international clinical criteria and the results of genetic testing. The researchers used clinical, functional and molecular genetic research methods.Results. 80-100% of children demonstrated delayed mental and motor development, lack of speech, affective behavior, ataxia, hand stereotypes, apraxia of hand movements, strabismus, sialorrhea. 72% of children had epileptic seizures; all patients (regardless of the presence / absence of epilepsy) had a pattern characteristic of Angelman syndrome on the electroencephalogram. Differential diagnosis was based on the gene / chromosomal syndromes characterized by similar clinical signs.Conclusion. The combination of such most frequent, early clinical symptoms as difficulties in feeding, strabismus, impaired muscle tone, delayed motor and psycho-speech development, affective behavior with frequent laughter, and sleep disorders may indicate Angelman syndrome in a child.

Kingston: Ian Randle, 1995. xii + 403 pp. (Paper n.p.)We discovered cricket's importance in the English-speaking Caribbean nearly thirty years ago when we took up our first post in the West Indies. Exploring the Mona campus of the University of the West Indies, we were alarmed to observe so many people who appeared to be hearing-disabled. Wherever we went we found people with ear-pieces who were slightly distracted and at the same time prone to violent mood swings, ranging from the depths of despair to enormous elation. Uncertain about the meaning of what we observed, but reluctant, as newcomers, to reveal our ignorance of public health problems in the region, we delayed inquiring about hearing disabilities until we could confide our concerns to a trusted friend. At first convulsed with laughter, she finally recovered sufficiently to assure us that the people of the West Indies did not suffer disproportionately from hearing loss. Rather, the large numbers of people with ear-pieces were listening to a cricket test match!

Full textAbstract:
The article focuses on identification and description of the responsive strategies realized by the subjects of English ideation discourse. The term English ideation discourse encompasses a process and result of the communicants’ interaction in the social-cultural context of a public speech. The subjects of such a discourse are the ideator and the recipient(-s) who take part in the cognitive-communicative activity in order to accept and apply the idea that is the object of this interaction. The idea refers to a mental structure translated into verbal and non-verbal means of communication. The ideator’s global socially relevant communicative aim is to exert communicative influence on the recipients, so that they will put the idea into social action. This aim is achieved through the initial communicative strategies of informing, persuading and instructing that govern the sub-strategies: informative, informative-persuasive, persuasive, persuasive-instructive, and instructive. Sub-strategies are aimed at different spheres of the recipients’ consciousness – rational reasoning (informative, informative-persuasive), emotions (persuasive), volition (instructive) or at the subconsciousness (persuasive-instructive). Responsive communicative actions of the recipients are divided into instant (verbal: exclamations, short answers; non-verbal: laughter, applause, gestures) and delayed (verbal: rating an ideation speech by choosing three out of fourteen available adjectives of positive / negative evaluation; non-verbal: general and average monthly number of views of the video recording of an ideation speech). The study is pioneering a systematic cognitive-communicative methodology which reveals constitutive features of a new object of linguistic analysis – English ideation discourse – and provides the tool of inferential analysis to identify and describe rational, emotional, volitional communicative influence with relevant to this influence responsive strategies that are exerted by the subjects of the ideation discourse and are manifested in their verbal and non-verbal actions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Introduction NT1 is characterized by EDS, cataplexy, sleep related paralysis, and hallucinations. Cataplexy is defined as weakness precipitated by emotions, more commonly with positive emotions and is associated with narcolepsy. Report of Cases: 70 yo with history of OSA on APAP referred with year history of worsening EDS, dream enactment, and cataplexy. Initially CPAP titration followed by MSLT was performed. Unfortunately sleep logs/actigraphy were not performed. CPAP was titrated 7-10 cm demonstrating suboptimal control (AHI 30) and presence of RSWA. MSLT demonstrated MSL of 2.9 minutes with 5 SOREMPS, however was confounded by THC use, suboptimal OSA control, and Trazodone. Considering above, patient was started on 11-16cm, and reevaluation was recommended. Patient was seen by neurology and started on Fluoxetine 20mg with some relief in symptoms (4-5episodes/day to 1-2/day). Imaging was unremarkable. Reevaluation was planned. He stopped Fluoxetine and THC 3 weeks prior. Actigraphy demonstrated significant movement. PSG demonstrated SOREMP with optimal OSA control (15-17cm), but there was recurrent evidence of vocalization with RSWA. MSLT was significant for MSL of 2.5 minutes, and 4 SOREMPs. Patient was restarted on Fluoxetine 40mg and melatonin 15mg for RBD. With optimal CPAP pressure daytime symptoms improved, however cataplexy worsened (3-4/day) triggered by laughter. Fluoxetine dose was increased with some relief the following days, but cataplexy returned leading to fall. He was transitioned to venlafaxine. With that patient noted complete resolution for 3 weeks. Cataplexy later recurred but resolved with an increase to venlafaxine 150mg. Three weeks later episodes recurred 3-4/week, with few causing collapse. Pitolisant was prescribed and currently pending prior authorization. Conclusion This case illustrates an unusual case given late onset of NT1 and refractory cataplexy that is disproportionately severe than the sleepiness. Cataplexy in geriatric populations is associated with falls and fractures. Medication for treatment of cataplexy comes with its own risks. Considering age and frequent falls, Pitolisant was added to the venlafaxine. It is noteworthy that daytime sleepiness improved with CPAP. There have been case reports with delayed onset NT1, however EDS was the prominent factor which responded well to stimulants, in our case cataplexy was refractory and prominent. Support (If Any)

Full textAbstract:
AbstractLaughter has achieved special significance within some of the more radical postmodern, and especially poststructuralist, discourses as an icon of liberated desire. Yet there is a sense in which laughter is anything but the expression of libidinal force, in which it can be seen to reflect a momentary subversion of desire. To understand this, poststructuralist linguistic theory itself can be employed (against itself), because in the linguistic philosophy of Jacques Derrida in particular there is a unique acknowledgment of the temporal dimension of communication and thought, and of the relationship of this to human desire. Such a model of communication provides insights into the way in which laughter is produced through the subversion of the human experience of temporality — and of desire, an effect of delayed satisfaction. The present article draws widely on the comic theoretical heritage, seeking to synthesize existing theories into a time-based model of how, and why, laughter is produced.

Full textAbstract:
British Women Writers 1930 – 1960: Between the Waves contributes to the vital recuperative work on mid-twentieth century writing by and for women. Fourteen original essays from leading academics and emerging critical voices shed new light on writers commonly dismissed as middlebrow in their concerns and conservative in their styles and politics. The essays showcase the stylistic, cultural and political vitality of the fiction, non-fiction, drama, poetry and journalism of a selection authors including Vera Brittain, Storm Jameson, Nancy Mitford, Phyllis Shand Allfrey, Rumer Godden, Attia Hosain, Doris Lessing, Kamala Markandaya, Susan Ertz, Marghanita Laski, Elizabeth Bowen, Edith Pargeter, Eileen Bigland, Nancy Spain, Vera Laughton Matthews, Pamela Hansford Johnson, Dorothy Whipple, Elizabeth Taylor, Daphne du Maurier, Barbara Comyns, Shelagh Delaney, Stevie Smith and Penelope Mortimer. The neologism ‘interfeminism’, coined to partner Kristin Bluemel’s ‘intermodernism’, locates this group chronologically and ideologically between two ‘waves’ of feminism, whilst forging connections between the political and cultural monoliths which have traditionally overshadowed its members. Drawing attention to the strengths of this ‘out-of-category’ writing, the volume also highlights how intersecting discourses of gender, class and society in the inter- and post- bellum anticipate the bold reassessments of female subjectivity that characterize second and third wave feminism. Exploration of popular women’s magazines of the period, and new archival material, add an innovative dimension to this study of the literature of a volatile and transformative period of British social and cultural history.

Full textAbstract:
Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most common genetic cause of obesity and the first identified genetic imprinting syndrome. Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by the lack of paternally expressed genes in the q11–q13 region of chromosome 15, while the nonexpression of maternally derived genes in the same region leads to Angelman syndrome (a neurologically distinct disorder causing severe mental impairment, seizures, and excessive laughter) (Oliver et al. 2007). Prader-Willi syndrome was first described in 1956 by Prader, Labhart, and Willi (in Butler, Lee, and Whitman 2006) and occurs in approximately 1 in 15,000 births. There is no racial or gender predilection for PWS (however, the syndrome is reported more frequently in Caucasians; Butler, Hanchett and Thompson 2006). Dysmorphic facial features are common in patients with PWS, although these are less specific than the clinical features. Findings may include almond-shaped eyes, strabismus, a narrow temple and nasal bridge, and a down-turned mouth with thin upper lip (Wattendorf and Muenke 2005). Initially, the syndrome was diagnosed via the frequency of key clinical features; however, diagnosis is currently made on the evaluation of gene expression. Prader-Willi syndrome has two distinct clinical phases: the neonatal phase and the hyperphagic (excessive eating) phase, which begins in early childhood. The primary characteristics of the neonatal phase include severe hypotonia, hyporeflexia, poor sucking ability, and decreased weight gain/failure to thrive due to inadequate oral intake, although birth weight is typically normal (McCandless 2005). Thus, feeding is a key concern in infants with PWS. Often, nasogastric tube feedings are employed, and infants are then weaned to breast- or bottle-feeding as they are able. While such difficulties may lead to the suggestion for feeding gastrostomy, this is best avoided due to the scarring effect, magnified by the excess truncal fat that will accumulate in later years (McCandless 2005). Developmental progress during infancy and early childhood is delayed, with most children sitting independently at 1 year and walking at about 2 years. Speech is also slow to advance, and language processing difficulties often continue into adulthood (Lewis 2006).

Abstract This chapter analyzes the appropriation of a Buddhist monastic space by girls and young women. The author’s case study is the Peace Grove Institute, a small residential Buddhist community of 21 girls between the ages of 7 and 31 located in Lumbini (Nepal), site of the Buddha’s birth. The Peace Grove Institute provides a quasi-monastic, socially safe space for girls which allows them to delay marriage and to continue education. Langenberg also highlights how this institute is an ongoing creation of the Peace Grove girls themselves. She explores the modality of female agency of the Peace Grove nuns within the disciplinary norms of female Buddhist monasticism, and within the educational and cultural environment of Peace Grove nunnery. Langenberg sees an otherwise less obvious dimension of Buddhist female agency at work, which she describes as aesthetic agency, detectable in the girls’ expressiveness, confidence, physical charisma, and mobility—a significant manifestation of and precondition for the exercise of female power in gender-conservative Lumbini.

Full textAbstract:
Viktor Tregubovich’s first movie, A Hot July, nearly wrecked his career at the outset, because it was a de-Stalinizing project begun mere months before the deposition of Khrushchev. Released after extensive production delays, the film had been reduced to mere tatters of the original endeavor. But Tregubovich rehabilitated himself with his gentle and offbeat movie about a tank battalion in combat, War Is War, and a series of remarkably diverse projects followed. Go If You’re Going provoked surprise at Lenfilm because it was a film comedy, and thus, his colleagues believed, a departure from Tregubovich’s established style. The laughter it provoked was decidedly uncomfortable, a point remarked (without enthusiasm) in studio discussions. Released after a significant delay, it became the subject of critical comment in a 1979 article by the deputy chairman of Goskino, Boris Pavlenok. Go If You’re Going is perhaps the nearest Lenfilm movie to the socialist “new wave” traditions of directors such as Jan Němec, a tribute to a filmmaking style that had resurfaced after nearly a decade in the cold.

Full textAbstract:
In 1960s America, a popular motto was “If it feels good, do it.” The message was intended to lift societal constraints on beliefs and behaviors. But for some, the motto’s sentiment spiked widespread encouragement to reject inhibitions, to be free of restraint. “Do whatever you want, whenever you want, however you want” was the message. “Inhibition” became a dirty word. Yet inhibitions are critically important to maturity and societal conventions. The ability to inhibit appropriately and delay gratification (even if momentarily) signals development. The phrase “on second thought” offers a strategy for taking a moment to think about our thinking, to metacognate about our decisions: “What else could it be?” “What else could I choose?” “What are my options?” We take a moment to allow our better selves to make better decisions: • Stifling laughter, delaying an opinion, suspending the impulse to offer assistance • Modifying a reply, choosing a kinder adjective, opting for silence • Resisting a second helping, choosing a healthy alternative, deciding to pass on a risky behavior Not the same as second- guessing, second thoughts prepare us to be deliberate rather than impulsive, reflective rather than pejorative, strategic rather than reactionary. Some teachers may innately use second thoughts in school relationships and teaching. But, others of us may not have considered this notion as a strategy. With the possibility of allowing us to reframe, revise, and revive our interactions with others, why not experiment with second thoughts? On second thought, why not declare a “Second Thoughts Day?”
