Full textAbstract:
The review reflects the increased scientific interest in the psychosomatic aspects of psoriasis in the world literature in recent years. The studied material of the articles is structured according to the principles of the modern clinical psychosomatic approach. The introduction substantiates the relevance of studying this topic. The article considers the stress manifestations/examinations of psoriasis under the influence of psychosocial acute and chronic stress, including under the action of the COVID-19 pandemic; the quality of life and stigmatization of patients with psoriasis. The driving factors leading to the formation of nosogenic psychosomatic disorders are identified: common disfiguring rashes, itching, recurrent course, the threat of disability, social restrictions, constitutional premorbid features of patients. The description of comorbid mental disorders of the anxiety and affective range with a discussion of suicidal risk is presented. A separate section of the review is devoted to itching, as one of the most discussed aspects of psoriasis in the modern literature. Different points of view on the psycho-biological structure of itching in psoriasis are presented. Various factors related to the intensity, objective and subjective perception of itching are considered. Among them are the clinical form and severity of psoriasis, the localization and prevalence of rashes, gender, age, level of education, marital status of patients, concomitant somatic and mental diseases.

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:
The biomedical model, which limits itself to finding the attributions of organic disease, is challenged by gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms. Simultaneously, physicians' attribution of GI symptoms to underlying psychological issues is not readily accepted by patients and can negatively affect the clinical rapport between doctor and patient. In reality, psychosocial aspects are involved in many functional disorders and organic diseases, not just in mental disorders. Time is overdue for gastroenterologists to recognise the inadequacy and limitations of conventional gastroenterology and consider the role of psychological, social and biological variables throughout the entire clinical course of the illness, as is shown in George Engel’s model. This review discusses the following: (1) the current challenges of using the conventional clinical model for both functional and organic GI illness, (2) the inadequacy and limitations of explaining GI symptoms simply as psychological disorders, (3) the exploration of the symptom-centred, stepped reattribution clinical model, (4) the clarification of psychosomatic medical concepts for use in gastroenterology, and (5) the significance of a systematic and interdisciplinary framework for a comprehensive psychosomatic model in gastroenterology.

International Journal of Yoga Therapy 29, no. 1 (November 1, 2019): 101–7. http://dx.doi.org/10.17761/d-17-2019-00031.
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:
Motherhood is still insufficiently explored regarding its psychological aspects. Maternity brings an innovative perspective in the diagnosis and treatment of various disorders of mother and child in the first year of life. Functional gastrointestinal disorders are the most common diagnosis in Pediatric Gastroenterology, being recognized as a group of diseases difficult to diagnose and manage. Among diagnosed and treated infants, some display a long-lasting suffering, which shows that a number of clinical aspects may be insufficiently explored. One such dimension is the one described under the term "birth-related illnesses", i.e. psychosomatic symptoms that occur in the infant as a result of a deficient or non-existent emotional relationship with the mother. This paper aims to illustrate how the mother-infant emotional relationship influences the functional digestive manifestations of the infant, their relational dynamics, and the development of symptoms, with and without specific maternal therapeutic intervention. The results represent an argument for the use of the mother-child dyadic therapy for improving the infant's digestive function.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction‘Health‐related stigma’ is typically known as social rejection or exclusion of individuals and populations suffering from specific health problems. Results on previous infectious diseases showed that stigma can be experienced by survivors but also by health‐care workers (HCW). Several factors contribute to stigma associated with infectious diseases, such as people’s knowledge, myths and stories transmitted by the mass and social media and psychosocial variables, such as risk perception and fear of being infected. COVID‐19 is a new disease with many unknown aspects and, naturally, people are afraid of the unknown.ObjectivesTo reflect on infectious diseases and social stigma during covid-19 pandemics.MethodsPubmed and Google Scholar search.Results Stigmatization can considerably increase psychosomatic distress and disturbance and can negatively affect people with infection and those at risk of infection in seeking medical care. HCWs and volunteers working in the field may also become stigmatized, leading to higher rates of distress, stress, and burnout When people avoid groups or geographic areas related to infectious diseases, this can pose significant economic losses. Thus, stigma is more than a mere negative outcome of infectious diseases; it is both a factor that contributes to the epidemics and pandemics and a disease in itself.ConclusionsAnticipating disease‐related stigma during the COVID‐19 pandemic enables policy‐makers to address it, restricting its adverse effects. The hidden burden caused by this stigma can cause severe consequences for patients, HCW, and public health measures, so, coordinated psychological interventions to overcome this crisis seems essential.

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.

Ayurveda has been one of the oldest medicinal systems in the world. Ayurveda focuses on the promotive as well as curative aspects of wellbeing. Ayurveda happens to manage both, physical as well as mental illnesses in normal and abnormal forms. The system believes in the psychosomatic aspect of every disease. Thus, focusing on the development, empowerment and maintenance of the mental health status of a human being is a top priority nowa- days. The current day scenario also demands a strong spotlight over mental health awareness and development. Acharya Charaka has mentioned a salient feature known as Sattvavajaya chikitsa in the classical text well versed with the techniques to use for the maintenance of a healthy state of Mind. Mental health refers to cognitive, be- havioural, and emotional well-being. It is all about how people think, feel, and behave. This Article attempt is being made to combine the mentioned techniques in one single place. The main aim of SATTVAVAJAYA CHIKITSA is to restrain the mind from the unwanted thought process, replacing negative ideas, proper channel- ling of presumptions and proper advice through Jnanam (Knowledge), Vijayan (analytical thinking), dhairya (courage), smriti (memory) and samadhi (concentration). The practice of Achara rasayana reduces stress and anxiety improves psychoneurotic immunity. Components of Sattvavajaya chikitsa are Dinacharya (daily regi- men), Ritucharya (Seasonal regimen), Sadvritta (code of virtues)/Achara Rasayana Roganutpadana (Prevention of diseases), Annapanavidhi (Rules about food and drinks). Keywords: Sattvavajaya Chikitsa, Mental Health, Modern Psychotherapy, Sadvrutta, Aachaar Rasayan.

Full textAbstract:
One of the main features of modern medicine is the fact that the majority of somatic diseases lose their mononosological nature and acquire the status of comorbidity. Examining complex comorbidity is a priority for specialists in various medical disciplines. Accomplishing scientific research and obtaining nessesary data as well as their further comprehension allowed to formulate major directions for investigating a comorbidity issue. Primarily, it concerns studying rate and general patterns for combination of pathologies, determining features of clinical course and strategy for using drug therapy. Comorbidity issue is rarely considered among infectious diseases. It should be understood that a term “comorbidity” refers to the state of the concomitant detection of several diseases. This terminology may and should be applied to combined somatic and infectious pathology envisioned as a complex pathological condition, but with some additions. The term “complex comorbidity”, in our opinion, is also valid both in case of either simultaneous or sequential presence of psychosomatic pathology and monoetiological infection, as well as somatic pathology and polyetiological infection. After H. pylori was discovered, over the past decades a significant number of studies have emerged regarding a role of helicobacter in etiology and pathogenesis of a large number of somatic diseases. The accumulated knowledge has determined that Helicobacteriosis is the most common bacterial infection in human, and H. pylori is considered as the cause for developing pathology of the gastrointestinal tract as well as other host organs and systems. At the current stage in the development of medicine, H. pylori is not only associated with occurrence of gastric and duodenal ulcers, because the microbe-linked pathogenic effect is not limited only to diseases of the gastroduodenal area. Helicobacter pylori infection can be considered as a trigger in emerging somatic pathology such as chronic gastritis, gastric and duodenal ulcer, MALT lymphoma, and gastric adenocarcinoma. These conditions may be referred to the status of complex comorbidity. To date, association links between Helicobacter pylori and idiopathic iron deficiency anemia, as well as idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, have been reliably determined. Thus, various clinical aspects of H. pylori infection are heterogeneous and have a wide range of pathological conditions, which evidence base is replenished with data both in terms of pathogenesis and clinical components.

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.

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.

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.

A pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious disease that spreads over a wider area, multiple continents, or the entire world at the same time. Since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic on March 11th, 2020, the world has entered a global emergency phase. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed the way of life and become a stressor in this century. Various factors become stressors during a pandemic. Many people experience negative emotions, such as fear, anxiety, and depression, during the COVID-19 pandemic. When negative emotions are no longer controlled, they will have a negative effect on the autonomic nervous system and cerebral cortex, causing psychosomatic and somatic symptoms. Many studies have shown a significant relationship between perceived stress and psychosomatic complaints. Research has also shown that stress during the COVID-19 pandemic is associated with an increase in psychosomatic symptoms. In the future, negative emotions during a pandemic, if not managed properly, can lead to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Peoples who are vulnerable to mental disorders due to COVID-19 include people with chronic diseases. Stressors during a pandemic can exacerbate anxiety, depression, and chronic stress in people with chronic diseases, causing exacerbations of chronic diseases, increasing somatic symptoms, and decreasing immune responses, resulting in increased infection and mortality risk.

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.

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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
In the article, through the prism of competence tasks, the features of forming the professional readiness of future specialists to self-realization in conditions of hypochondriac nosology with psychosomatic trait are considered. Exploring this issue, we can emphasize the important point that in order to achieve professional success, a person must be endowed with individual professionally significant qualities characteristic of the chosen profession, which in the long-term activity change the psyche of the individual and can cause hypochondrial disorders with psychosomatic manifestation. Focusing on the confirmation or refutation of the hypothesis, we examined the relationship of psychosomatic manifestations of hypochondriacal character with the localization of their manifestations within a certain chronotype. In the course of the research there was a need to specify the interrelation of professional requirements and personal potentials that contribute to preserving the psychosomatic health of a person and promoting self-development in professional activity. Specialists of different professions also have features that distinguish them from each other, but in this case, it is the preservation of psychosomatic health of these people and is an urgent problem, which will solve the harmonious development, psychosomatic state of personality, psycho-functional state in the implementation of their own creative search and professional treasure. In the aspect of educational-informative problems, the criterion-effective component of the model, which includes motivational-value, cognitive-personal, creative-activity, reflexive-regulatory criteria of increasing the level of readiness of future specialists for psycho-emotional safety of activity, has been determined. Given such basic emotional attitudes in the human body, we can say that situational anxiety is the trigger mechanism in the pathogenesis of psychosomatic manifestations of hypochondriacally character, namely hypochondriacal behavior with disturbance of the skin. Intrusive conditions include: avoiding contact with objects that serve as a source of germs and bacteria; obsession with purity and the like. Fear and feelings of inferiority, social isolation, negativity accompanied by frustration, irritability, frustration, guilt, suspicion, anger were also observed in other indicators of the conducted research. It is established that the above criteria contributed to the isolation of psychological and temporal indicators of hypochondriacal diseases, which act as a methodological basis for the development and practical implementation of the system of chronological and psychological prediction of the course of hypochondria, outline specific directions of medical and psychological disorders On the basis of this problem we have developed an algorithm for chronobiological prognosis of psychosymptomatic symptoms, course, treatment efficiency and optimization of adaptive capacity of patients with hypochondrial disorders. Its essence was to acquaint the study participants with information about the recurrence of hypochondrial disorders, the causes of their recurrence and the consequences in the educational and information environment.

Background: One of the major concerns about Epilepsy is the psychological and cognitive effects of commonly used Anti-epileptic drugs. In the treatment aspects related to psychological or psychosomatic diseases, Ayurvedic drug has stood the test of time as they don’t produce any undesirable side effects. Kalyanaka Ghrita is widely used to treat the conditions like Unmada, Apasmara etc. Along with the reference of Kalyanaka Ghrita, Acharya Chakrapanidatta has explained Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita. They only differ in the ratio of water added as well as the addition of four parts of Ksheera in case of Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita. The current study aims to evaluate the anti-epileptic activity of Kalyanaka Ghrita and Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita by Pentylenetetrazole(PTZ) Induced Generalised Seizure method in Swiss Albino Mice. Aims and objectives: To evaluate the antiepileptic activity of Kalyanaka Ghrita and Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita by PTZ Induced Generalised Seizure Method. Methodology: Group specific drugs were administered for 21 consecutive days by oral route. Diazepam was taken as reference standard drug. On 22nd day, a single dose of Pentylenetetrazole 80mg/ kg body weight was injected intra peritoneal to all the groups. The effect of different formulations on Pentylenetetrazole induced generalised convulsions were noted down. The results were expressed as Mean ± SEM. The data was analysed by one way Anova followed by Dunnet’s multiple ‘t’ test as post HOC using Graph pad Inst 3. Results: There was an increase in the duration of latency of onset of seizures in Kalyanaka ghrta group and Ksheerakalyanaka ghrita group. There was a decrease in the occurrence of number of myoclonic convulsions in Kalyanaka ghrta group and Ksheerakalyanaka group. There was an increase in the number of clonic convulsions in Kalyanaka ghrta group and Ksheerakalyanaka ghrita. There was an increase in the number of straub tail occurrence in Kalyanaka ghrta group and a decrease in the number of straub tail occurrence in Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrta group. The latency of occurrence of death was reduced in Kalyanaka ghrta and Ksheerakalyanaka ghrita group. There was a decrease in the number of recurrent clonic jerks in Kalyanaka ghrta group and an increase in the number of recurrent clonic jerks in Ksheera Kalyanaka ghrta group. Conclusion: Kalyanaka Ghrita and Ksheerakalyanaka Ghrita showed statistically non-significant improvement in the management of symptoms of PTZ Induced Generalised Seizure.

Full textAbstract:
The review presents data on cognitive processes of emotional regulation, which are the result of the interaction of the activity of the prefrontal cortex and emotional centers, as the most important pathogenetic link in the psychosomatic relations of depressive and cardiovascular diseases. The neuroanatomical substrate of emotional regulation is the connection between emotional and cognitive processes, which are carried out through bidirectional neuronal interactions between the neocortex and emotional centers. This connection allows emotional centers to modulate cortical activity, and cognitive centers, through descending cortical influences, to modulate the processing of emotions. At present, direct and indirect connections of the frontal cortex with the centers of the autonomic nervous system and its stimulating sympathetic and inhibitory parasympathetic influences have been confirmed. Pathogenetic links of emotional dysregulation include neurobiological and cognitive (rumination, fixation on negative information) processes. The pathophysiological mechanisms of depression and cardiovascular diseases have common links - the dysregulation of the metabolic, immunological and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal systems. The tendency to negative emotional response, the prevalence of negative emotions and alexithymia (low awareness of emotions) stand out as predictors of the development of both cardiovascular diseases and depression. Studies aimed at studying the typology and meaning of emotional dysregulation in various forms of psychopathological disorders in the aspect of comorbidity and psychosomatic relationships with somatic diseases can be fruitful in terms of finding new approaches to diagnosis and therapy.

Our study was devoted to identifying and clarifying the relationship between psychosomatic and conflict-generating personality factors. The optimal ratio of the structural components of a personality and the maintained hierarchical subordination of levels ensures the preservation of basic intrapsychic connections, fortitude and stability of the psyche at a current stage of development (the structural aspect of health). At the same time, the interactions of these components and the coherence of the main mental processes determine the unique nature of an individual's holistic and unique personality (the dynamic or procedural aspect of health). By determining the characteristics for impacting conflict-generating factors in terms of forming a specialist’s personality and maintaining the optimal functioning, we found that somatic pathology had different intensity and the links the psyche-somatic problems are various: some correlations increased, others faded. Thus, a restructuring took place during the disease; changes appeared in the information and energy components of the state. We proved that conflict-generating factors are a prerequisite for an occurrence of somatic diseases. Changes occurred in the states were interpreted as an influence of conflict-generating factors. It was found that the most important factor influencing psychosomatic disorders was a social stress: problematic relationships in the professional sphere, including insufficient professional fulfilment (non-professional work, forced labour, unemployment, etc.), interpersonal conflicts with the leader or the team and related domestic problems. The second most important cause of these symptoms was emotional discomfort in the family and a family stress: unfavourable relationships with loved ones, difficult financial situation, lack of reliable support, and so on. So, the main guidelines in the life of psychosomatically healthy people are orderly life, not limited by the space of the existing environment and interpersonal relationships.

The first quarter of the 21st century has remarkably been characterized by a multitude of challenges confronting human society as a whole in terms of several outbreaks of infectious viral diseases, such as the 2003 severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), China; the 2009 influenza H1N1, Mexico; the 2012 Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS), Saudi Arabia; and the ongoing coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), China. COVID-19, caused by SARS-CoV-2, reportedly broke out in December 2019, Wuhan, the capital of China’s Hubei province, and continues unabated, leading to considerable devastation and death worldwide. The most common target organ of SARS-CoV-2 is the lungs, especially the bronchial and alveolar epithelial cells, culminating in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in severe patients. Nevertheless, other tissues and organs are also known to be critically affected following infection, thereby complicating the overall aetiology and prognosis. Excluding H1N1, the SARS-CoV (also referred as SARS-CoV-1), MERS, and SARS-CoV-2 are collectively referred to as coronaviruses, and taxonomically placed under the realm Riboviria, order Nidovirales, suborder Cornidovirineae, family Coronaviridae, subfamily Orthocoronavirinae, genus Betacoronavirus, and subgenus Sarbecovirus. As of 23 September 2021, the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has globally resulted in around 229 million and 4.7 million reported infections and deaths, respectively, apart from causing huge psychosomatic debilitation, academic loss, and deep economic recession. Such an unprecedented pandemic has compelled researchers, especially epidemiologists and immunologists, to search for SARS-CoV-2-associated potential immunogenic molecules to develop a vaccine as an immediate prophylactic measure. Amongst multiple structural and non-structural proteins, the homotrimeric spike (S) glycoprotein has been empirically found as the most suitable candidate for vaccine development owing to its immense immunogenic potential, which makes it capable of eliciting both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses. As a consequence, it has become possible to design appropriate, safe, and effective vaccines, apart from related therapeutic agents, to reduce both morbidity and mortality. As of 23 September 2021, four vaccines, namely, Comirnaty, COVID-19 vaccine Janssen, Spikevax, and Vaxzevria, have received the European Medicines Agency’s (EMA) approval, and around thirty are under the phase three clinical trial with emergency authorization by the vaccine-developing country-specific National Regulatory Authority (NRA). In addition, 100–150 vaccines are under various phases of pre-clinical and clinical trials. The mainstay of global vaccination is to introduce herd immunity, which would protect the majority of the population, including immunocompromised individuals, from infection and disease. Here, we primarily discuss category-wise vaccine development, their respective advantages and disadvantages, associated efficiency and potential safety aspects, antigenicity of SARS-CoV-2 structural proteins and immune responses to them along with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 VOC, and the urgent need of achieving herd immunity to contain the pandemic.

Addiction is a very common habitual psychological or physiological disorder in this modern era. It is a condition of dependence on any substances or drugs. It harms human beings along with its social consequence. Sudden withdrawal of addicted drugs produces different types of psychosomatic disorders. Addiction is not only about drug addiction or alcohol addiction or substance addiction. In the Ayurvedic view, overuse of any aspect and every aspect is considered an addiction. Addictions influence the physical, emotional and psychological behaviour of an individual with a wrong effect. Tobacco and alcohol are the most widely consumed psychotropic drugs which are used worldwide. The common use of both increases the risk of noncommunicable diseases to many folds. Ayurvedic texts have described different types of De-addiction treatment which can be applied in this context along with replacement therapy with medicines described in the Madatyaya chapter of Charaka Samhita Chikitsa sthana. The main aim of this review article is to compile and evaluate the concept of tobacco addiction and its management. All the descriptions of addiction mentioned in different Ayurvedic texts were critically analyzed and discussed to check their relation.

Introduction. For the purpose of studying the psychovegetative state, predictors of hypertension and the risk of its development, including in the age aspect, we have examined sixty underground workers of a chromium ore mining enterprise (the main group), whose working conditions belong to the classes 3.3-3.4. Scientists divided the main group into two subgroups: <45 years (n=20, age 38.45±2.95 years), and >45 years (n=40, age 50.90±1.46 years). The comparison group consists of 49 ground workers whose working conditions belong to the class 3.2. We formed two subgroups from the comparison group: 23 employees aged 38.0±2.8 years, (comparison group <45 years); and 26 employees aged 49.2±2.1 years, (comparison group >45 years). The study aims to research and substantiate the predictors of the development of hypertension of underground workers, depending on age and psychovegetative status. Materials and methods. Experts have investigated the state of the cardiovascular system by clinical, functional and laboratory diagnostics. We have investigated the psychovegetative status with an assessment of the level of neuropsychiatric tension, anxiety, attention, subjective reflection of psychovegetative distress. Results. Experts have identified the decreased attention (OR 7.50; 95% CI - 2.39-23.58), increased personal anxiety (OR 11.06 95% CI - 4.35-28.10) and an increase in the number of psychovegetative complaints (OR 22.50; 95% CI - 7.09-71.41) in the patient group with arterial hypertension syndrome. We identified the identified predictors of arterial hypertension in the analysis of ROC in the psychosomatic module: age >44 years, experience >15 years, number of psychovegetative complaints >1, increased serum uric acid >298 μmol/l, pulse pressure >41 mm Hg.st. The module confirms the inversion of psychovegetative adaptation into psychosomatic disorders with an increased risk of hypertension with increasing age. Limitations. The data obtained are specific to a specific group of miners, the methodological approach of this study can be used in other professional groups. Conclusion. When identifying a psychosomatic module, it is advisable to include employees in the risk group for hypertension. Within the framework of corporate programs for the preservation of health and the prevention of production-related diseases, it is advisable to carry out psychological support for employees of dangerous professions with the study of psychovegetative status. Ethics. The scientists have conducted research in compliance with ethical principles and with the voluntary informed consent of the participants.

Basic principles of Ayurveda emphasize the importance of hetu (causative factor) in disease pathogenesis. Indulgence in dharaniya vega (urges to be suppressed or controlled) acts as a factor in cascade of pathogenesis. In Charaka Samhita description on nine dharaniya vegas is scattered in different contexts. Collection of all these information and analysis paves way for better understanding of the concept of Dharaniya vegas and very helpful in health promotion. It is quite interesting to note that these dharaniya vegas are connected to emotional states of mind. The natural urges of mind are important aspect of living body and significantly determine the health or diseased state of an individual. Individual desirous of health should control these urges by gaining control over sense organs. These nine dharaniya vegas, if not controlled can lead to tridosha prakopa (vitiation of body humours) and result in varied psychosomatic manifestations. In the present article an attempt is been made to explore the concept of dharaniya vega mentioned in Charaka samhita with contemporary relevance in clinical Ayurveda practice and thereby aide in health promotion and also as a preventive tool.

Full textAbstract:
Fibromyalgia is a chronic musculoskeletal pain syndrome characterized by the presence of painful points on digito-palpation in anatomical specific areas, called trigger points, followed by psychological disorders like sleeping problems and alexithymia. Alexithymia is a dimension defined as the absence of words for emotions. The patient does not know how to process their own emotions and fail to externalize what feels. The investigation of possible relationship between Fibromyalgia and Alexithymia can increase knowledge about the clinical features resulting from both diseases, especially because alexithymia is poorly explored and has a significant impact in patient’s life quality. Objectives: To execute a literature review searching for a clinical association between Alexithymia and Fibromyalgia (FM), highlighting psychiatric and psychological aspects. Methods: Folowing PRISMA statement the research used Scielo, Pubmed, PsychLit and ISIweb of knowledge data base between 2009 and 2014 with the key-words: “alexithymia”, “fibromyalgia”, “psychosomatics”, “chronical pain”, “psycotherapy”, “psychoanalysis”. Results: Nine studies were selected for analysis which used instruments like the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the psychoanalysis and cognitive comportamental therapy showing that the patient with Alexithymia and FM has a worse pain interpretation, deals badly with it and suffer the consequences in their physical and mental health due to that. Conclusion: This study suggested the important impact that alexithymia has in patients with FM, since the psychiatric and psychological factors lead to a bigger decrease in life quality of people who have already worse aspects in that, which warn for the importance of this emotional state, since it is under-diagnosed. Due to the fact that there were a small number of reviewed articles, more research about the relation between FM and Alexithymia must be done.

Researchers surveyed secondary school teachers characterizing the signs of emotional burnout during the educational process in a distance format. We considered preventive measures. The study aims to research the possible development of emotional burnout among teachers in the conditions of distance learning. We conducted a study with the participation of 72 teachers to identify signs of emotional burnout using the V.V. Boyko questionnaire and conducted statistical data processing using Statistica 13.0. The average age of teachers was 47.1 years; the majority were women. In addition, 70,0% of Teachers noted that they have chronic diseases. Based on the results obtained, we concluded that school teachers' lack of work experience in the conditions of distance learning and online classes was a traumatic circumstance for almost half of the teachers, which could serve as a triggering mechanism for the stages of development emotional burnout. Subjectively, teachers associated the formation of symptoms of emotional burnout and health disorders with two-thirds of all cases with working conditions, its intensity, and difficulties with maintaining a healthy lifestyle in self-isolation. The revealed indicators of the phases of the development of emotional burnout allow us to judge that 45.9% of teachers have a formed/dominant symptom of "experiencing traumatic circumstances" registered in the "tension" phase. 31.2% of teachers have a symptom of "anxiety and depression". There are high rates of symptoms of "inadequate selective emotional response" - 54.1% in the "resistance" phase, "emotional and moral disorientation" - 32.8%, "expansion of the sphere of saving emotions" - 31.1% and "reduction of professional responsibilities" - 50.8%. In the "exhaustion" phase, the symptom "psychosomatic and psychovegetative disorders" has a dominant value in 22.9% of teachers. Factors that, according to teachers, contribute to the formation of emotional burnout are: the intensity of work in the conditions of distance learning (61.1%); violation of lifestyle components (36.1%); lack of access to a doctor (29.2%). To prevent the formation of emotional burnout syndrome in the conditions of distance learning: it is necessary to observe for teachers the work and rest regime in compliance with the working time regulations within the framework of official duties and an employment contract, compliance with the rules of a healthy lifestyle, high-quality medical care, and mandatory professional development on online training.

Relevance Nowadays, both in developing countries and in industrialized countries, there is a process of increasing life expectancy, which together with the problem of low birth rates leads to the phenomenon of “aging population”. Providing care to the elderly is not only a purely medical problem, but the social aspect is equally important. An important component of the lifestyle of an elderly person is recreation - the processes of restoring vitality, relieving mental stress and recovery, carried out in various forms of recreation, nutrition, active or passive leisure. Modern society and the health care system face three most important tasks: continuing an active life with minimal losses from the disorders inherent in old age, combating high morbidity in old age and ensuring a dignified end to the lives of aging people. Although the provision of medical and social assistance to the elderly is organized and provided as needed, ensuring the accessibility and sufficient presence in their lives of the social aspect and its communicative component is not supported in our country at the state level and is not regulated by law Purpose The purpose of the work is to improve the quality of life of the elderly through the organization of the social component of life by arranging their leisure. Results To achieve this goal, it was proposed to use the principles and methods of milieu therapy, which means “treatment by the environment”. Most often, milieu therapy refers to a form of psychotherapy that involves the use of therapeutic communities. Considering the goal, milieu herapy fully covers and meets the goals of rehabilitation of the elderly, and as a social technology allows to create an active living environment that encourages older people to “independent actions”, self-sufficiency, withdrawal from dependent moods and hyperprotection. Milieu therapy allows to activate the living environment of such people in accordance with their needs, interests, psychophysical condition, rehabilitation potential; and to optimize the work of staff in the direction of improving the efficiency of activities that will have a direct impact on quality of life. On the example of other countries, examples of the use of the principles of milieu therapy in the organization of daytime activities in the elderly are provided. Conclusions Providing leisure for the elderly will be able to improve their quality of life, reduce the prevalence of somatic diseases and the risk of developing psychosomatic conditions in them, and thus reduce the burden on health care facilities. And the use of the principles of milieu therapy to solve problems will allow to organize it as effectively as possible.

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.

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.

Full textAbstract:
The review of etiopathogenetic mechanisms and clinical manifestations of mental disorders highlights their diagnostic significance (as opposed to neurobiological approaches) in the field of psychosomatic pathology. Clinical, personal, psychological and other patterns common for the psychosomatic pathology are identified. It is emphasized, that those patterns are specific not only for psychosomatic pathology but for somatic, mental, psychosomatic, and affective disorders as well. It is indicated that similar neurotransmitter processes are involved in the pathodynamics of many diseases. The lack of specificity of these processes led to dissolving boundaries between mental pathology and diagnostic problems. There is no specific etiology, pathogenetic mechanisms, and environmental factors for a particular mental disorder. The only thing that combines these disorders is the presence of somatic symptoms in their structure. Analyzes of the works on the study of somatovegetative manifestations in mental disorders demonstrated that most of researchers inclined to classify such dysfunctions as somatic equivalents of mental pathology along with the current psychopathological disorders. This phenomenon allows us to assume that both the psyche and the body represent a unity that develops according to uniform laws. So, any pathology that affects one of the components of this unity involves another component in the pathological process. The obligatory pathogenetic factors as the basis of development and dynamic of internals dysfunction are examined. In other words, the subject of psychiatry is not limited to the pathology of the psyche, but also includes the pathology of the brain. This approach allows us to talk not about psychosomatic disorders, but about “non-psychiatric psychiatry,” widely represented in the general medical network in the form of “minor” (in the terminology of old authors) mental disorders in the form of psycho-vegetative, functional, somatoform and similar disorders.

Full textAbstract:
Ayurveda reiterates the relationship between the body and mind in its approach to health as well as illness. Though the vitiated doshas, dhatus and malas remain the physiological basis of illness, the illness itself is a more complex psychosomatic phenomenon. Ayurveda has followed biopsychosomatic approach where more emphasis is given to the aspect of integration body and mind. In somatic diseases the psychological aspect cannot be neglected, similarly in psychological diseases somatic affairs are given due consideration. Social factors also play a major role in the inter relationships, financial support etc. Modern medicine accepted the biopsychosocial approach towards health recently.
Manasika bhavas mentioned in Ayurveda such as bhaya, krodha, soka etc., can cause or aggravate several diseases and hence there is a relation between these bhavas and roga. These manasika bhavas act as stressors as it become the cause of several diseases. Body’s response to stress has been widely studied in the branch of Psychoneuroimmunology. Recent research suggests that the mind and body share bidirectional influences, and the science of Psychoneuroimmunology identifies specific mechanisms by which these mind-body changes are mediated. Hence it is important to consider psychological factors along with biological and social factors in all diseases, assess and identify them in a timely manner so as to have effective management.

The article examines the relationship of the characterological features with the internal aspect of the disease of diabetic patients. The topicality of the study is determined by the need to estimate the weight of personal factors in development and clinical course of diabetes. The article shows the domination of accentuations of personality traits of diabetic patients, the "weak spots" zones of which is vulnerability in the area of interpersonal dealings, attended with decrease adaptive capacity due to a non-constructive and deficient system of attitude to other people. It states that the internal clinical course of the disease in those tested displays prevalence of the attitude towards the disease, attended with the sense of inferiority, the fear of becoming a burden for the relatives, the striving to relieve the hardship of nursing care for the relatives, as well as the selective attitude towards medical examination and treatment, the desire to continue labor activity, despite severity and chronization of the process. It is ascertained that the characterological traits are connected with the internal diabetic patients clinical aspect of the disease. The diabetes is referred to the group of psychosomatic diseases, its clinical course is determined by an impact of psychological and social agents. The results obtained in the research determine the strategy of purposeful psychological work with this category of patients.

AbstractMusculoskeletal pains are sometimes misdiagnosed in some diseases, like rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis, erosive OA, etc. Secondary hyperparathyroidism was not considered a differential diagnosis for RA, despite the fact that it can cause arthralgia or arthritis. Also, fibromyalgia is a psychosomatic condition marked by widespread pain and tenderness. This study included 400 patients attended certain outpatient clinics of Rheumatology in Egypt and Saudi Arabia, who were not fulfilling criteria for RA diagnosis. Criteria for classification of fibromyalgia syndrome were applied to all patients. We did lab tests and radiological imaging modalities for diagnosis or exclusion of suspected diseases were applied. All patients were fulfilling both old and new criteria of fibromyalgia syndrome, and not fulfilling any RA criteria, and had vitamin D3 deficiency or insufficiency. 75% of patients had abnormally high levels of PTH, without parathyroid gland pathology. Radiology showed subperiosteal and subchondral resorption of mainly thumbs, subchondral osteopenia of proximal and middle phalanges, mild subperiosteal resorption along the radial aspect of the middle phalanx and mild tuft erosions, besides changes in the carpus closely resembling those of rheumatoid arthritis, of ulnar styloid resorption, radiocarpal and scapho-trapezoid joint arthritis. Of special interest, the presence of tuft spur-like excrescences.
