AbstractTransgender men and women experience an incongruity between their assigned sex at birth and their identified gender. Gender dysphoria is defined by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) as clinically significant distress or impairment resulting from misalignment in assigned and experienced gender. Transgender people have a history of negative experiences in health care and efforts should be made to create a welcoming environment through staff training, gender neutral restrooms, and gender inclusive electronic medical record systems. Transgender men and women face unique preventive health concerns in areas of metabolic screening, cancer screening, immunizations, and anticipatory guidance secondary to cross-sex hormone therapy, gender confirming surgical procedures, and certain high-risk behaviors. Here, the available data are reviewed and suggested best practices are outlined to optimize the preventive health for this patient population.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorThe objective of this research was the perception of the masculinity role model which is predominant in the content from Men s Health Brazil magazine and how it is transmitted through such content. Considering the increasing segmentation of the magazine market and the rising number of vehicles that approach the issue of body and health, this publication is presented in a different way as it escapes from the traditional model for men s magazines once it grasps a series of elements which, after analysis, have been identified as components of a construction script for an ideal masculinity model, cast by a quite clear view of what a healthy and successful man should be like (in his personal and social life). With the slogan Living better is easy , the publication guides the construction of its readers masculinity based on truth-speeches mainly legitimated in the sphere of scientific knowledge (such as researches from different universities and the collaboration of professionals from various areas in the elaboration of articles), instructing its readers in several areas from the male experience, from body care and its figure to their everyday living with women and other men. In shaping this ideal model of being a man, Men s Health also brings a series of values on what it is to be a man, which concern the necessity of being virile, competitive, healthy, good in bed , independent and owner of their world. Notwithstanding all of these aspects hold a close approximation to elements that have already been approached by gender theory as belonging to the patriarchal masculinity model. Through the theoretical productions of Michel Foucault on discipline, norm and body and from the complementing to his theory proposed by Anthony Giddens, which is about the reflexive identity embodiment, I have sought to understand how the magazine elaborates its speech in a way that it shapes the reader into a worldwide accepted standard (once this publication is available in several countries) in relation to a hegemonic masculinity. The latter, on its own, as proposed by Robert/Raewyn Connell, is constructed through processes of socialization of the access to means of communication, which exhibit a masculinity that is stated in the differentiation of other masculinity assortments, in the case of Men s Health, the masculinity of men who do not fit in the physical model advertised by the magazine.
O objetivo desta pesquisa foi a percepção do modelo de masculinidade predominante no conteúdo da revista Men s Health Brasil e como este é transmitido através de seu conteúdo. Diante da crescente segmentação do mercado de revistas e o crescimento do número de veículos que abordam a questão do corpo e da saúde, esta publicação apresenta-se de maneira diferenciada, na medida em que escapa ao modelo tradicional da revista masculina, uma vez que traz em seu conteúdo uma série de elementos que, após análise, identifiquei como componentes de um roteiro de construção de um modelo de masculinidade ideal, formado por uma visão bastante clara do que um homem saudável e bem-sucedido (na vida pessoal e social) deve ser. Sob o slogan Viver melhor é fácil , a publicação orienta, com base em discursos-verdade legitimados principalmente na esfera do conhecimento científico (como pesquisas de universidades diversas e participação de profissionais de diversas áreas na elaboração das matérias), a construção da masculinidade de seus leitores, esclarecendo-os em diversas áreas da experiência masculina, desde o cuidado do corpo e sua formatação até o seu convívio com mulheres e outros homens. Na lapidação deste modelo ideal de ser homem, Men s Health traz também uma série de valores acerca do que é ser homem, os quais concernem à necessidade de ser viril, competitivo, saudável, bom de cama , independente e controlador de seu mundo. Não por coincidência, todos esses aspectos guardam forte aproximação com elementos já abordados pela teoria de gênero como pertencentes ao modelo patriarcal de masculinidade. Através das produções teóricas de Michel Foucault sobre disciplina, norma e corpo e da complementação à sua teoria proposta por Anthony Giddens, que trata da corporificação identitária reflexiva, busquei compreender como a revista em questão elabora seu discurso de forma a moldar seu leitor a uma norma aceita mundialmente (uma vez que a publicação está presente em diversos países) relativa a uma masculinidade hegemônica. Esta, por sua vez, como propõe Robert/Raewyn Connell, é construída através de processos de socialização do acesso aos meios de comunicação, que demonstram uma masculinidade que se afirma na diferenciação de outros arranjos de masculinidade, no caso de Men s Health, de masculinidades dos homens que não se encaixam no modelo físico propagandeado pela revista.

Previous issue date: 2009-03-26Our object is composed by the discourses contained in two Brazilian magazines: Men s Health and Nova. We approach the object through a transversal dialogue between the communication and social sciences fields and the philosophy of Michel Foucault. From this perspective, we suggest as a theoretical proposition that mass media influences its receptors subjective constitutions an influence upon the constitution of their individual self. This influence operates mainly through norms : internalized rules that guide the individuals in a natural-like fashion Men s Health and Nova, publications with prescriptive contents, are part of this operation. The norm, however, is not inescapable: Foucault offers an alternative to its objective restriction of our subjective identities: the dimension of ethics, an existential dimension in which we create our own selves through a free self-reflected intellectual exercise. After establishing our theoretical premises, we thoroughly investigate the way through which the magazines discourses operate (analyzing 6 issues of each one of them), defining what we called their physiology . Our aim is to answer the following problem: is there, in the reception of the discourses contained in these magazines, an ethical dimension? For that we interviewed 21 receptors, to find out that they conduct their lives in a complex power play that is strongly established upon norms, either to affirm or deny them. Men s Health and Nova operate along with many other social instances in a regime where its receptors think themselves based on pre-established criteria, where ephemeral pleasures are desired by some and criticized by all, while the ideal of eternal love is also a unanimous intention. At the same time, all value a specific kind of healthy body that is, at the same time, beautiful and sexy. None of that, though, is perceived though an exercise of self-reflection, free pondering. In other words, none of that comes from an ethical dimension
Este trabalho tem por objeto a recepção dos discursos das revistas Men s Health e Nova. Abordamos o objeto a partir de um diálogo transversal entre os campos da comunicação, ciências sociais e a filosofia do francês Michel Foucault. Nessa perspectiva, propomos como pressuposto teórico a influência dos meios de comunicação sobre a constituição subjetiva de seus receptores, ou seja, a influência sobre a maneira como eles pensam sobre si próprios e se caracterizam seres donos de seus eus . Essa influência opera fundamentalmente por meio de normas, ou seja, regras internalizadas nos indivíduos à guisa de natureza Men s Health e Nova, publicações cujos discursos são prescritivos e normativos, fazem parte dessa conjuntura. A norma, no entanto, não é inescapável: Foucault propõe um caminho, uma resistência, uma dimensão livre de constituição da própria subjetividade: a ética. Deitadas essas bases, analisamos os discursos de 6 edições de cada revista, identificando um fio condutor, uma fisiologia desses discursos. O objetivo final do trabalho é responder ao seguinte problema: existe, na recepção dos discursos de Men s Health e Nova, a possibilidade de uma dimensão ética, ou seja, de uma dimensão de livre constituição da própria subjetividade? Para isso, fomos a campo, entrevistando em profundidade 21 receptores (homens no caso de Men s Health, mulheres no caso de Nova). Constatamos, a partir dos relatos dos entrevistados, que a condução de suas vidas se dá num complexo jogo em que as normas servem de apoio, seja na afirmação ou negação de suas ações. Men s Health e Nova operam junto com diversas outras instâncias sociais num regime em que seus receptores se percebem e se refletem no mundo a partir de critérios préestabelecidos, onde prazeres fugazes são praticados por muitos e mal vistos por todos, enquanto amores eternos são, também, intenção unânime. Ao mesmo tempo, todos valorizam um tipo específico de corpo saudável, que é ao mesmo tempo belo e sedutor valorização que identificamos na forma de intenção ou de conduta, propriamente. Nada disso, entretanto, dentro de uma auto-reflexão, de uma ponderação livre, de uma dimensão ética, enfim.

Previous issue date: 2015-01-28The aim of this study is to examine, from the perspective of the Critical Linguistics, the concept of masculinity stamped on the covers of Men's Health magazine. Several studies indicate the existence of a hegemonic masculinity, exalted in family and school, which is reflected, for example, in sports, representing a manhood test for the boys. With reference to the image of sensitive man currently depicted in the media, it does not reveal the abolition of patriarchy, but it is actually a modern form of this trend. In all these issues is the matter of male identity which operates on several levels simultaneously in the intersection between the literal, figurative and functional. To understand this issue, I adopt a method for the analysis of identity, considering that it emerges in the linguistic interaction and joins elements of sociocultural linguistics in a coherent model able to describe the current state of research and offers new directions for the area. A useful method of discourse analysis would fulfill some minimal requirements: be endowed with multidimensional characteristics; involve multifunctional analysis and be critical. Critical implies showing connections and hidden causes because the relations between the discursive, social and cultural changes are not always transparent. Based on the notion of Appraisal it is possible to show implicit evaluations both in image and in the verbal discourse. The analysis is supported by the Systemic Functional Grammar, involving notions such as Appraisal and Modality. I also use the multimodal grammar, which provides a consistent theoretical frame for examining the images on the covers of the magazines and their relations with the linguistic paradigms. The research aims to answer the following questions: (a) What masculine image Men's Health magazine seeks to portray on its covers in search of identification with the Brazilian men through a comparison with the American covers of the same magazine? (b) What implicit and explicit ideological aspects can be detected in the discourse? The results show that through the discourse of healthy living and body worship there are lexical, syntactic and image choices that signal to the maintenance of traditional ideologies related to gender
O objetivo desta pesquisa é examinar, sob o enfoque da Linguística Crítica, o conceito de masculinidade estampada nas capas da revista Men's Health. Vários estudos apontam a existência de uma masculinidade hegemônica, exaltada na família e na escola, que se reflete, por exemplo, na prática de esportes, representando um teste à masculinidade dos garotos. Com referência à masculinidade hegemônica, a imagem de homem sensível que se vê atualmente na mídia não revela a abolição do patriarquismo, mas é, na realidade, uma forma moderna dessa tendência. Afigura-se, aqui, a questão da identidade masculina, que opera simultaneamente em vários níveis, na intersecção entre o literal, o figurativo e o funcional. Para entender essa questão, adoto um método para a análise da identidade, como sendo constituída na interação linguística, e que junta elementos da linguística sociocultural em um modelo coerente que descreve o estado corrente da pesquisa e oferece novas direções para a área. Um método de análise do discurso útil deve preencher algumas condições mínimas: ser dotado de característica multidimensional; envolver um método de análise multifuncional; e ser crítico. Crítico implica mostrar conexões e causas ocultas, pois as relações entre as mudanças discursiva, social e cultural nem sempre são transparentes. Com base na noção de Appraisal/Avaliatividade, é possível mostrar relações avaliativas implícitas presentes tanto na imagem quanto no discurso verbal de maneira conjunta. A análise conta com o apoio da Gramática Sistêmico-Funcional, envolvendo noções como as de Avaliatividade e de Modalidade. Recorro também à gramática multimodal, que fornece um enquadre teoricamente consistente para o exame das imagens das capas das revistas e sua relação com os paradigmas linguísticos. A pesquisa visa a responder às seguintes perguntas: (a) Que imagem masculina o discurso verbal e imagético da revista Men's Health tenta retratar em suas capas na busca de identificação com o homem brasileiro a partir de uma comparação com as capas da revista americana? (b) Que aspectos ideológicos implícitos e explícitos podem ser detectados nesse discurso? Os resultados apontam que através do discurso de vida saudável e do culto ao corpo ainda existem escolhas lexicais, sintáticas e imagéticas que sinalizam para a manutenção de ideologias tradicionais relacionadas ao gênero

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the issue of men's access to chronic illness self management programs from a social constructionist perspective. A combination of research methodologies was used; a quantitative analysis to confirm gender differences in levels and patterns of service use; a qualitative analysis to gain an increased understanding of the factors affecting men's access; and a trial to test the application of the research findings. The clients and services of Arthritis Victoria were chosen as the setting for this research.
The quantitative analyses were conducted on contingency tables and odds ratios and confirmed that men were under-represented as service users. The analyses also identified gender differences in patterns of service use. The qualitative analysis was based on a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews. It was undertaken from a grounded theory approach to allow for the development of theoretical explanations grounded in the data. It was found that men's decisions to access chronic illness self management programs were strongly influenced by dominant social constructions of masculinity which constrained help-seeking and health management behaviour. However, the restrictive influence of hegemonic masculinity was progressively undermined by the increasing severity of the chronic condition until a crisis point was reached in terms of the severity of the condition or its impact on lifestyle. This resulted in a reformulation or rejection of hegemonic masculinity. The described conceptual framework was consistent for men from diverse social groupings, although it appeared less prominent in both younger and older men, suggesting that dominant social constructions of masculinity have the greatest influence on health decisions during the middle stage of adulthood when work and family obligations are greatest.
The thesis findings informed the development of some guiding principles for reviewing the structure and delivery of chronic illness self management services for men. The guiding principles will have direct application in the planning of Arthritis Victoria programs, and implications for other chronic illness self management programs in Australia, and also in Western countries with a similar health and sociocultural setting to Australia.

Introdução: No Brasil, verifica-se maior mortalidade masculina em, praticamente, todas as idades e para quase a totalidade das causas. Objetivo: Estimar e descrever a tendência da mortalidade masculina, entre 1979 e 2007, em três capitais de estados brasileiros, São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e Porto Alegre (RS), segundo faixa etária, local de residência e causa básica de morte. Material e método: As populações de estudo referem-se aos contingentes de residentes em São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Porto Alegre, nos triênios, 1979/1981, 1990/1992, 1999/2001 e 2005/2007 e aos respectivos óbitos. As fontes de dados foram IBGE e Sistemas de Informações em Saúde do Ministério da Saúde. As localidades foram selecionadas por, reconhecidamente, apresentarem adequada qualidade das informações necessárias. Calcularam-se coeficientes de mortalidade gerais (brutos e padronizados) e específicos, médios para os triênios. Foram feitas comparações entre os indicadores, no tempo e no espaço. Resultados: Verificou-se, no período e nas três capitais, declínio da proporção de crianças e de jovens e tendência crescente da proporção de pessoas de 60 anos e mais de idade. Até os 24 anos, homens predominaram na população; a partir daí, já se observaram maiores participações femininas e razões de sexos cada vez mais baixas, evidenciando, entre idosos, alta presença de mulheres, fato associado à elevada mortalidade masculina (coeficientes padronizados, respectivamente, no início e fim da série temporal, de 11,9 e 9,4 óbitos por mil homens, em São Paulo; de 12,7 e 9,8 óbitos por mil homens, no Rio de Janeiro e de 12,1 e 9,5 mortes por mil homens, em Porto Alegre). Notou-se acometimento intenso de homens jovens pelas causas externas, cujos coeficientes específicos, para homens de 20 a 24 anos, foram, em 1979/1981 e 2005/2007, respectivamente, de 163,8 e 165,8 por cem mil homens paulistas; de 241 e 336,2 por cem mil, no Rio de Janeiro, e de 144,1 e 236,1 por cem mil, em Porto Alegre. Ao longo da série, as causas externas apresentaram grande estimativa de risco de morte masculina, sendo que, em 2005/2007, foram a primeira causa de morte em homens até a idade de 40 a 44 anos, em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro; em Porto Alegre, manteve a primeira posição até a faixa de 30 a 34 anos. Após, em quase todos os grupos etários seguintes, as doenças do aparelho circulatório aparecem como a principal causa de morte e, as neoplasias passam à segunda posição entre as mais importantes causas de morte masculina. Considerações finais: As localidades evidenciam características de cidades em vias de desenvolvimento, com redução da fecundidade, aumento da longevidade e conseqüente envelhecimento populacional. As estimativas do elevado risco de morrer de homens tornam clara sua vulnerabilidade em adultos jovens, acometimento intenso das mortes violentas; a partir dos 35 anos, as doenças crônicas e degenerativas se destacam. A intensidade com que estes eventos ocorrem, entre homens, demanda ações que possibilitem redução dos índices de mortalidade por causas preveníveis e evitáveis, eliminando comportamentos de risco e adoção de hábitos de vida saudáveis. Diante disso, haverá aumento da sua esperança de vida e redução das diferenças entre mortalidade feminina e masculinaIntroduction: In Brazil, there is a higher male mortality in almost all ages and causes. Objective: To estimate and describe the trend in male mortality, between 1979 and 2007, in three State Capitals, São Paulo (SP), Rio de Janeiro (RJ) and Porto Alegre (RS), according to age, place of residence and underlying cause of death. Methods: The study populations refer to the residents in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Porto Alegre, in the periods, 1979/1981, 1990/1992, 1999/2001 and 2005/2007, and their deaths. The data sources were Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics and Information System in Health of the Brazilian Ministry of Health. These cities were selected because, admittedly, they have an appropriate quality of death information. Overall (crude and standardized) and specific mortality coefficients were calculated (average for the triennium). Comparisons were done in time and space. Results: There was, in the period, reduction in the proportion of children and youth, and growing trend in the proportion of older people (60 years and above). Up to 24 years, men predominate in the population; it has been observed higher female participation and gender ratios ever lower, showing among the elderly, high presence of women. This fact is associated with high male mortality (standardized coefficients, respectively, at the beginning and end of the series, from 11.9 to 9.4 deaths per thousand men in São Paulo, from 12.7 to 9.8 deaths per thousand men in Rio de Janeiro and 12.1 to 9, 5 deaths per thousand men in Porto Alegre). It was noted, specifically, intense involvement of young men and external causes, whose specific rates for ages 20 to 24, were in 1979/191 and 2005/2007, respectively, 163.8 and 165.8 deaths per hundred thousand men from São Paulo, 241 and 336.2 per hundred thousand in Rio de Janeiro, and 144.1 and 236.1 per hundred thousand men in Porto Alegre. Throughout the series, these causes were responsible for large risk estimates of male death, and in 2005/2007, this group was the leading cause of death in men until the age group 40 to 44 years in Sao Paulo and Rio Janeiro. In Porto Alegre, it maintained the first position until ages 30 to 34 years. After that, almost in all age groups, deaths by circulatory system diseases appear as the main cause; cancer came in the second position among the most important causes of male deaths. Conclusion: These capitals show features of a developing city, with reduced fertility, increased longevity and consequent trending to an aging population. Estimates of the men high risk of dying make clear their vulnerability as young adults, in intense involvement in violent deaths; after 35 years, chronic and degenerative diseases stand out. The intensity with which these events occur demand actions that should reduces the mortality rates of preventable diseases, reduce the mens risky behaviors. It is necessary that men try to adopt healthier lifestyles habits, thus increasing life expectancy and reducing the differences between female and male mortalities

A Política Nacional de Atenção Integral à Saúde do Homem (PNAISH) é, desde sua institucionalização, uma intervenção que se propõe original e inovadora, refletindo a necessidade dos homens com base em indicadores de morbimortalidade em piores condições quando comparados às mulheres, questão atribuída às especificidades socioculturais e de gênero. Efetiva-se operacionalmente a proposta, com a publicação do Plano de Ação Nacional 2009-2011 instituindo a lógica de trabalho e estratégias pactuadas a serem seguidas na implementação dos Planos de Ação de estados e municípios. Longe de um discurso isento de críticas, a proposta traz consigo também os debates e pressupostos críticos constituídos nos movimentos sociais, questões sobre a necessidade de saúde, medicalização como padrão de uso e acesso aos serviços, e as representações constitutivas do cuidado e a educação em saúde. Neste contexto é que o estudo propôs-se a avaliar a plausibilidade lógica da PANSH 2009-2011 e sua proposta de operacionalização frente a PNAISH e às necessidades de Saúde dos Homens, bem como o conhecimento acumulado sobre os temas relacionados ao acesso, acolhimento e fatores socioculturais e gênero associados, no Brasil e em parte do mundo. Para tanto, propôs-se a utilização da análise lógica do Plano em questão, segundo a abordagem de BROUSSELLE e CHAMPAGNE (2011) partindo-se de uma investigação descritiva e qualitativa de documentos, literatura científica, informações e a modelização da intervenção proposta nacionalmente. Aferiu-se assim as dificuldades e lacunas do desenho da planificação quanto a problemática central do acesso de Homens ao serviço de saúde, o que sugere também uma baixa capacidade de assegurar os efeitos pretendidos, dificuldade de aplicações em municípios e estados, bem como as possíveis barreiras, dificuldades ou entraves que poderão ser encontradas por estes na elaboração de seus Planos Municipais e Estaduais. Assim, é que se julga fundamental a realização de avaliações sobre a política e seu mérito, bem como aos planos de ação e a reflexão sobre as estratégias adotadas para cumprimento dos objetivos.

Av de människor i fertil ålder som bor tillsammans och/eller är gifta, har 10-15 procent infertilitetsproblematik. Tidigare studier visar att ofrivillig barnlöshet kan leda till en livskris. Det finns olika orsaker till ofrivillig barnlöshet hos man respektive kvinna och behandling utgår ifrån orsaken. Ett besked om ofrivillig barnlöshet kan innebära stora förändringar i en parrelation och syftet med studien är att belysa pars upplevelser av att vara ofrivilligt barnlös. Författarna valde att använda kvalitativ innehållsanalys, genom att studera självbiografer, med anledning av att upplevelser är subjektiva och författarna ville komma så nära verkligheten som möjligt. Att vara ofrivilligt barnlös kunde visa sig genom sorg och en förlust av någonting de önskade högt. Studien av självbiografierna visade att väntan var den största påfrestningen. Men också en otillräcklighet och ifrågasättande av kärlek till varandra kunde urskiljas.

Full textAbstract:
A relação masculinidades-saúde tem sido investigada por vários estudos nos últimos anos. A aproximação dos homens às práticas de cuidado e aos serviços de saúde é apontada como um desafio que esbarra na construção social das masculinidades e no direcionamento dos serviços para a atenção a mulheres e crianças. Este trabalho tem o objetivo de compreender como as questões relativas à sexualidade masculina são abordadas na Atenção Primária à Saúde. Para tanto, investiga como homens, situados no contexto de pobreza urbana, percebem e lidam com a sexualidade e com necessidades em saúde sexual; como a sexualidade masculina se configura como tema e demanda nos serviços de saúde e como interagem profissionais e usuários frente a ela. Trata-se de um recorte de pesquisa multicêntrica, voltada para a investigação da relação dos homens com os serviços de Atenção Primária à Saúde. Este recorte se detém à análise da observação etnográfica da estrutura e do funcionamento de duas Unidades Básicas de Saúde da cidade de Natal/RN, Brasil, e de entrevistas semi-estruturadas com 57 homens, usuários desses serviços. O trajeto analítico-interpretativo foi orientado, no campo teórico, pela perspectiva de gênero e, no campo metodológico, pela hermenêutica filosófica. Os resultados permitem vislumbrar a relação entre diferentes construções do ser homem e o exercício da sexualidade. Nos serviços pesquisados, além de uma desigualdade na atenção dada a homens e mulheres, nota-se que a abordagem à sexualidade de ambos é feita de forma diferente. Está presente a imagem de uma sexualidade masculina ativa, impulsiva e exacerbada, em oposição à de uma sexualidade feminina passiva e atrelada à reprodução. Isso pode ser visto na distribuição de camisinhas, feita para os homens com sentido prioritário de prevenção de DST/AIDS e para as mulheres como método contraceptivo. Destacam-se ainda, como assuntos dessa abordagem, as DST/AIDS, problemas relativos à ereção e a prevenção do câncer de próstata. De forma geral, a abordagem à sexualidade masculina é reduzida aos termos da medicalização e cerceada por valores morais. Não são considerados os sentidos e significados que os assuntos apresentados podem assumir para os homens. Além disso, as demandas em saúde sexual apresentadas pelos usuários recebem pouca atenção e são, com frenquência, consideradas como alçada de serviços especializados. Configura-se, assim, um quadro em que a vulnerabilidade dos homens ao adoecimento sexual parece estar atrelada, para além dos aspectos individuais e sociais da construção das masculinidades, à elaboração das políticas públicas de saúde e à estrutura organizacional dos serviços. O trabalho aponta para a possibilidade de articulação do pólo homem-sexualidade, pouco presente nos serviços, ao pólo mulher-reprodução. Defende a adoção de uma noção de saúde sexual e uma abordagem da sexualidade masculina (e feminina) mais contextualizadas com a perspectiva de gênero, dos direitos sexuais, da promoção e proteção da saúdeIn recent years, many studies have been investigating the relationship between masculinities and health. The approximation of men to care practices and to health facilities is pointed as a challenge once it stumbles on the social construction of masculinities and on directing the facilities attention to women and children. This work aims to understand how issues of male sexuality are approached in Primary Health Care. In order to do this, it investigates how men placed in the context of urban poverty perceive and deal with sexuality and sexual health needs, how male sexuality is shaped as theme and demand in health facilities, and how practitioners and service users interact facing it. Its a part of a multicenter research project that investigates the relationship between men and Primary Health Care facilities. This part focuses on the analysis of ethnographic observations of two Basic Health Units structure and operation in the city of Natal, Brazil, and on semi-structured interviews with 57 men, users of these facilities. The analytic and interpretative path was guided by gender theory and philosophical hermeneutics. The results allow us to have a glimpse of the relationship between different constructions of being a man and exercising sexuality. In the facilities studied, not only it is given unequal attention to men and women, but the approach to each genders sexuality is done differently. The image of male sexuality presents itself as active, impulsive and exacerbated, in opposition to the image of female sexuality, seen as passive and linked to reproduction. This can be noticed in the condoms distribution it is primarily given as STD/AIDS prevention for men, and as a contraceptive method for women. Also, STD/AIDS, problems related to erection and prevention of prostate cancer stand out as subjects of this approach. Generally, the approach to male sexuality is reduced to terms of medicalization and restrained by moral values. The possible sense and meanings men can interpret in the subjects presented are not considered. Furthermore, the sexual health demands presented by men receive little attention and are frequently understood as competence of specialized facilities. Thus, it is configured a framework in which mens vulnerability to becoming ill seems to be leashed, not only to individual and social aspects of the construction of masculinities, but also to the developed health public policies and the facilities organizational structures. This work points to the possibility of articulation between man-sexuality (hardly present in the facilities) and woman-reproduction. It defends the adoption of a sexual health notion and an approach for male (and female) sexuality more contextualized with the perspective of gender, sexual rights, and the promotion and protection of health

Previous issue date: 2012-03-23The objective of this paper is to analyse the articulation of the journalistic discourse and the discourse of popular science (ZAMBONI, 2001) in the (re)production of behaviors considered appropriate or not for women and men in the ―game of seduction‖, by taking into consideration ideological and gender aspects. The corpus consists of three reports where the discourse of popular science is used: two of them, ―A tal da química‖, in the female s magazine Gloss (March, 2011), and ―A ciência da atração‖, in the male s magazine Men's Health (March, 2011), aim to publicize scientific research results, and ―Caçadoras‖, in Gloss (Oct., 2010), in which no experiments are found. The theoretical and methodological grounds are taken from the Critical Discourse Analysis, according to Fairclough s three-dimensional conception (2001), based on categories such as vocabulary, interdiscursivity and manifest intertextuality; the Visual Grammar, by Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006), and the gender studies, from the viewpoint of Nicholson (2000) and Lauretis (1994), among others. The literature review includes the parameters of the journalistic discourse and the discourse of popular science, magazines, female and male presses, and the story of love and seduction. The results indicate that in all the reports the scientific information, with less or more emphasis, grounds the journalistic discourse. In the first two reports, the discourse of popular science outstands journalistic information is confirmed mainly by the conclusions that outcome from research projects based on laboratory tests, which seems to mark it with a stronger power of persuasion; in the third report no lab experiences are mentioned and the journalist s and ―ordinary‖ women s discourses prevail. The study of gender demonstrates that both Gloss and Men's Health reports indicate only an apparent change in paradigm, because their discourses assure the patriarchal ideology and hegemonic gender settings
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar a articulação do discurso jornalístico e do discurso de divulgação científica (ZAMBONI, 2001) na (re)produção de comportamentos considerados adequados ou não para mulheres e homens no jogo da sedução, com atenção para questões ideológicas e de gênero. O corpus é constituído por três reportagens que utilizam o discurso de divulgação científica: duas delas, ―A tal da química‖, da revista feminina Gloss (março, 2011) e ―A ciência da atração‖, da revista masculina Men s Health (março, 2011), têm por objetivo divulgar resultados de pesquisas científicas, enquanto ―Caçadoras‖, de Gloss (outubro, 2010), não traz experimentos. Os pressupostos teórico-metodológicos são retirados da Análise Crítica do Discurso, a partir da concepção tridimensional de Fairclough (2001), com base nas categorias do vocabulário, da interdiscursividade e da intertextualidade manifesta; da Gramática Visual, de Kress e van Leeuwen (2006), e dos estudos de gênero, na perspectiva de Nicholson (2000) e Lauretis (1994), entre outras críticas. A revisão bibliográfica inclui os parâmetros dos discursos jornalístico e de divulgação científica, as revistas, as imprensas feminina e masculina e a história do amor e da sedução. Os resultados indicam que o discurso de divulgação científica serve de base ao discurso jornalístico, com maior ou menor ênfase, nas três reportagens. Nas duas primeiras, predomina o discurso de divulgação científica as informações jornalísticas são comprovadas, principalmente, por meio de resultados de projetos de pesquisa, com amparo em testes realizados em laboratórios, o que parece imprimir um forte poder de persuasão; na terceira, não há relato de experimentos, e preponderam os discursos da jornalista e das mulheres ―comuns‖. Quanto às questões de gênero, tanto as reportagens de Gloss quanto as de Men s Health indicam apenas uma aparente quebra de paradigmas, pois seus discursos reforçam a ideologia do patriarcado e as configurações hegemônicas de gênero

Full textAbstract:
We encounter the topic of sexuality everywhere: in films and books, in advertising, in press and on the internet. But how is the situation of sexual health in Germany? Although the scientific interest in masculine sexuality has grown over the last few decades, data that is reliable for many aspects is missing. The present Third Men’s Health Report, which was developed in collaboration with the Men´s Health Foundation and the Institute of Applied Sexual Studies at the Merseburg University of Applied Sciences, provides a current insight into the diverse facets of the sexuality of men from both social and medical perspectives. 40 experts from various disciplines have analysed in 31 contributions the level reached and they give extensive recommendations for action. With regard to questions of the social development of sexuality, the Men’s Health Report provides valuable information: How does sexuality develop in the 21st century? How do we avoid sexual discrimination based on sexual orientation? How can sexual offenses be further reduced?

AbstractClimate affects the quantity of soil moisture within the surface of the earth and this is obtained by affecting the amount of radon flux density escaping from the land surface. This chapter contains the evaluation of climate change conditions as it affects the variability of soil water for the purpose of estimating the health effects of radon flux density within Ogbomoso metropolis. The simulated soil moisture content around Ogbomoso was done for a period of 34 years using the hydrological model, Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). The calibration and validation of the SWAT model was done using the daily observed soil moisture content. The simulated daily soil moisture within Ogbomoso showed good performance when calibrated and validated. A 20 years prediction of the daily soil moisture content was done using the SWAT model. The estimation of the radon flux density for the study area was obtained using the simulated soil temperature and soil moisture from the SWAT model. In this chapter, the UNSCEAR radon flux formula was used for the radon flux estimate. The result showed that the UNSCEAR radon flux formula performed well in estimating the radon flux density in the study area. The mean value of the radon flux density of 15.09 mBqm−2 s−1 falls below the estimated world average of 33 mBqm−2 s−1 by UNSCEAR stipulated for land surface. The results showed that Ogbomoso region is not prone to high risk of radon exposure to the public. The estimation of the radon flux density value suggested that there is no radiological health hazard such as lung cancer or any other respiratory tract diseases to the inhabitant of Ogbomoso, Nigeria.

Full textAbstract:
Over the past few decades, research about the impact of religion and spirituality (R/S) on health has grown considerably. Mental health was a major area of focus in this field, producing solid evidence for the impact of R/S on quality of life, wellness, depression, anxiety, substance use disorder, and other mental health issues. To date, a large number of studies have been conducted showing that R/S beliefs and practices have an impact on mental health, albeit positive or negative. New studies have sought to elucidate how these findings can have an impact on clinical practice and R/S interventions have been proposed. It is also noteworthy that studies are currently deepening our understanding of the mechanisms underlying R/S effects, and attempting to adapt R/S values, virtues, and practices to a secular world. This chapter aims to discuss these studies further, highlighting the scientific evidence, proposed mechanisms, and possible interventions supporting the relationship between R/S and mental health.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter starts defining spirituality as a transcendent realm of reality, which is considered sacred, and religion as the institutional or communal aspect of that spirituality. Then, it explores whether and how issues relating to religion and spirituality (R/S) are relevant to the mental health of individuals. A large body of evidence is presented and discussed showing that R/S remain and probably will continue to be relevant in the contemporary world, and that R/S have marked and usually positive effects on mental health. Ethical concerns regarding approaching R/S in clinical care are addressed, arguing that this approach must be patient-centred. An evidence-based, and ethically sound, bio-psycho-socio-spiritual approach is proposed. In summary, in respect to the evidence available and the R/S beliefs, behaviours and values of most of the world’s population, it is not only appropriate but a scientific and ethical duty to integrate R/S into mental health research, training, prevention, and clinical practice.

Full textAbstract:
It is not uncommon for patients with mental disorders to have symptoms with religious or spiritual (R/S) contents, and, on the other hand, spiritual experiences often involve psychotic-like phenomena. This frequently creates difficulties in differentiating between a non-pathological R/S experience and a mental disorder. Clinical differentiation between a non-pathological R/S experience and a mental disorder with R/S content brings risks in both extremes: to pathologize normal R/S experience (promoting iatrogenic suffering) or neglecting pathological symptoms (delaying proper treatment). In order to mitigate these risks, this chapter will gather the best current scientific evidence and propose clinical guidelines to help the distinction between R/S experiences and mental disorders with R/S content. Scientific studies in people who have spiritual experiences should be encouraged, especially investigations of the phenomenology, neurobiology, precipitants, and outcomes in order to enlarge the empirical base needed to advance the criteria for this differential diagnosis.

Full textAbstract:
The role religion and spirituality (R/S) can play in the promotion and prevention of mental health is not strictly defined, and the influence of culture is probably decisive. Aspects of R/S can be tentatively conceived of as epidemiological factors sometimes associated with better or poorer mental health (as is clear for at least one aspect—that is, religious struggle). Three main targets of prevention are suggested: (1) to consider how R/S may contribute to mental hygiene and educate accordingly, (2) to address religious struggle and positive elements of R/S in people with mental problems, and foster the therapeutic alliance and compliance, and (3) to prevent associated disabilities in those with mental disorders, and consider R/S as a field in need of care, with special attention to how R/S relates to existential concerns and the recovery process.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines the genetic, psychological, social, behavioural, environmental, individual-level, and biological pathways that may help explain the relationship between religion/spirituality (R/S) and mental health. I use spirituality interchangeably with religion, since my use of the term ‘religion’ goes far beyond institutional religion—that is, it includes individual beliefs, practices, and intrinsic commitments related to the Transcendent. No doubt, there are many different ways that R/S might influence mental health in either positive or negative ways. Not only are there likely to be many pathways of direct influence, but also indirect effects that may be difficult to appreciate unless a comprehensive approach is taken. First, I briefly review research on the relationship between R/S and mental health, and then, having established a relationship, attempt to explain it by the multiple pathways noted above.

Full textAbstract:
Given the demonstrated relationship between religion and spirituality (R/S) and mental health, clinicians are faced with the decision of how to integrate R/S into clinical care. The first, most basic step to inform this decision is to ascertain a spiritual history. A skillful spiritual history can help the clinician to understand not only the patient’s R/S and whether they would like R/S involved in his clinical care, but also key mental health information, aiding in diagnosis and treatment planning. Studies have shown that patients want clinicians to ask about R/S, and that taking a spiritual history can correlate with improved patient treatment adherence, trust, and well-being. While many mental health professionals consider patient R/S to be important, few discuss R/S with patients in practice, and few training programs include guidance on the spiritual history. This chapter includes practical tools and considerations to consider when taking a spiritual history in various clinical and cultural scenarios. Basic tenets of taking a spiritual history are reviewed, along with the details of a few published tools for taking the spiritual history. The chapter concludes with a discussion of nuances in the spiritual history and a summary of areas for future study.

Full textAbstract:
Both religion and spirituality (R/S) have played a major role in lives of human beings since the dawn of mankind and that remains the case in most cultures. Scientific literature shows a remarkable increase in high-quality research publications in the past decades providing insights and evidence-based information into the relationship between R/S and mental health. However, despite most mental health professionals acknowledging the importance of R/S issues in clinical practice, there has a been a large gap in translating this knowledge to clinical practice and professional training in mental health. Based on these unmet needs and on the robust available evidence, this book presents a comprehensive and sensitive review and summary of evidence and recommendations regarding R/S and mental health to inform clinical practice. Then a brief summary of the three sections (Theory, General principles of religions and relationship with mental health, and Clinical practice) and of the 25 chapter is presented.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter reviews the growing literature on religious and spiritual (R/S) struggles and their implications for clinical practice, with a focus on people with psychiatric problems. The empirical literature indicates that R/S struggles: (a) take a variety of forms that reflect tensions and conflicts around the sacred; (b) are not uncommon among people with psychological problems; (c) are robust predictors of poorer mental health; (d) may be a cause and/or effect of psychological problems; and offer the potential for positive psychological growth and transformation, depending on how they are understood and handled. Practical recommendations are then offered to help psychiatrists draw on basic clinical skills to assess and address R/S struggles in treatment. Specifically, this chapter considers how practitioners can help patients name and normalize their struggles, accept and reflect on these conflicts, and access R/S resources that offer potential resolutions to their struggles.

Full textAbstract:
Absent or low fibrinolytic response to stimulation is believed to reflect thrombotic tendency. However, it has been observed, that poor response to one stimulus is not always associated with poor^ response to other stimuli. Therefore, correlation between fibrinolytic responses to various stimuli has been studied in two groups of healthy men. Nine volunteers of the first group were subjected to 20 min upper arm venous occlusion (VO) followed by vasopressin analogue (DDAVP) infusion (0,4 ug/kg body weight in 10 min). In the second group (16 volunteers) VO and physical exercise (EXER, discontinuous test on treadmill up to maximal heart rate) were applied successively in this order. Venous blood was sampled before stimulation and in the 20 min of VO in both groups. The third blood sample was obtained 20 min after start of DDAVP infusion in the first group and immediately after EXER in the second group. Fibrinolytic activity was determined by euglobulin clot lysis time and by specific tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) activity assay and increase in activity above prestimulation value calculated. No significant correlation between fibrinolytic response to VO and DDAVP was observed in the first group. Also in the second group responses to V0 and EXER showed no correlation.The observed discrepancy in fibrinolytic responses to various stimuli rise an important question: Which fibrinolytic response is more relevant to development of thrombosis?

Platelets from patients with hyperlipoproteinemia (HLP) are more sensitive to some aggregating agents than platelets from normal persons.On the other hand, it is known that from 15% to 20% of patients with coronary heart disease have primary or secondary HLP.The progress of the knowledge in this field has been expressed in production of the new drugs diminishing HLP.Be-zafibrate is a new derivative of clofibric acid,which has been used in the treatment of HLP.The purpose of our study was and assessment of the effect of bezafi-brate on platelet aggregation and thromboxane (TXB2) generation.The experiments were carried out in 18 patients (7 women and 11 men),aged 32-60 (mean 46 years) with type Ila HLP.The control group of consisted of 10 healthy volunteers.For 6 weeks the patients with HLP were given bezafibrate (Bezalip-Boehringer Mannheim) 600mg daily in divided doses and were taking the same diet as before the treatment.Blood platelet aggregation and 14C arachidonic acid (AA) conversion to thromboxane in washed platelets (using thin-layer-chromatography) were determined before and after bezafibrate administration. The obtained results are presented in the table (mean±S.E.).It is concluded that the main arteriosclerosis-protecting bezafibrate action lies not only in decreasing of lipid levels in serum, but also in normalization of platelet function.

Full textAbstract:
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was developed for the measurement of human urokinase-type plasminogen activator (u-PA) in plasma and serum. Microtiter plates were coated with a monoclonal antibody and incubated with standard or sample. Bound u-PA was quantitated with polyclonal antibodies conjugated with biotin, followed by avidin-peroxidase. The assay was 10-fold as sensitive as other previously reported ELISAs, the detection limit being approximately 1 pg of u-PA in a volume of 100 μl with a linear dose-response up to 15 pg of u-PA. The assay detected active u-PA and its inactive proenzyme form equally well and the recovery of both forms was higher than 90% in plasma. A variety of structurally related proteins, including t-PA, were tested, but no reaction with proteins other than u-PA and its amino-terminal degradation product were observed. The intra-assay and inter-assay coefficients of variation for determination of u-PA in plasma were 7.6% and 8.4%, respectively. The assay was equally applicable to serum. The values obtained with plasma and serum were similar, and the results were not affected by small variations in the preparation of the samples. The ELISA was used to measure the concentration of u-PA in plasma from 34 healthy donors. The mean values for u-PA in plasma from healthy donors was 1.1 ng/ml ± 0.3 ng/ml (SD) (range 0.6 - 1.5 ng/ml). No significant differences were found between men and women and no correlation between u-PA concentration and age could be demonstrated.The mean u-PA concentration in plasma from healthy donors obtained in this study is substantially lower than that reported by others. This might be due to different methods of determination of the protein content of the standard preparations or to differences in the specificity of the assays.

Human plasma was shown previously to contain three forms of thrombin clottable protein: high molecular (HMW) and two lower molecular weight fibrinogen (LMW and LMW*) , the percentage of which in healthy subject is 69, 28 and 32 respectively. Significant abnormalities in the proportion of fibrinogen (Fgb) fractions were observed post–surgically, in cancer, and in patients with myocardial infarction and liver diseases. The aim of this study was to determine Fbg fractions and fibrinolytic activity (FA) in patients with and without proven coronary occlusion. Group I consisted of 21 symptomatic patients without significant coronary obstruction. Group II comprised 116 patients (94 men and 43 women; mean age 65 and 59 y. respectively) who were shown by angiographical examination to have coronary artery occlusions. Plasma Fbg fractions were determined by 3.52 SDS–PA6E of washed fibrin nonstabilized clots dissolved in 8M urea. Quantitation of the fractions were perfomed by densitometric scanning and expressed as percent of total. Fibrinolytic activity was measured in euglobulin fraction using fibrin plate technique. Mean values for HMW, LMW and LMW’ fibrinogen fractions were 64.4±4, 28.8±2 and 6.6±1 for Group I, and 62.5±5, 29.8±3 and 7.7± 1 for Group II respectively. Fibrinolytic activity in Group I and II was 66±26 and 39±24mm2 respectively as compared to 86±35 in healthy subjects. The statistically significant differences between Group I and II were observed for HMW and LMW fractions (p<0.03) and for FA (p<0.001). These results indicate that measurement of blood FA can be useful in the identification of individuals at risk for coronary artery disease. It is also concluded that degradation of plasma fibrinogen is not related to the fibrinolytic activty of blood, but is caused by some other mechanism, as yet not known.

This study was carried out to see what kind of response the blood cells have to a weak stimuli of lipopolysacc-harides (LPS), a substance that in small quantities may be a small part of the blood system. The parameters tested under this condition were: thromboxane A2 (TxA2) (produced in platelets), prostacyclin (PGI2) produced in white cells (mainly monocytes) and induced thromboplastin synthesis in monocytes.Heparinized blood from 40 men and 40 women was incubated with 2 ng LPS/ml blood for 2 hours. Blood cells were then either spun down to obtain plasma or mononuclear cells were isolated from the incubated blood followed by the quantitation of thromboplastin. In order to get measureable PGI2 production, liposomes of soya lecithin were added to amplify this production in monocytes (see abstract by Østerud et al. "Monocyte stimulation--". The quantitation of TxB2 in the resultant plasma samples- revealed a highly significant difference in production of TxA2 between men and women in this system. In the group of men a value of 13.0 ± 5.9 ng/ml was found compared to 7.6 ± 5.8 for women (p<0.01). The liposomes had no effect on the TxA2 production. In contrast, the PGI2 production in women was higher than in men. By quantitating 6-keto-PG 1α concent rat i on in the plasma samples it was found that women had 148 ± 53 pg/ml whereas men had 105± 5 pg/rnl (p< 0.001). ft low index of TxA2 is supposed to be beneficial and associated with PGI2 low frequence of coronary heart disease. In the present study this value was estimated to be 51 for women and 124 in men.A weak but not significant higher thromboplastin activity was found in the stimulated monocytes of men as compared to women (91.4 ± 40.8×10−3/106 cells for men and 74.9 45.6×10−3/ 106 cells for women).It is concluded that blood cell activation in women is less harmful than in men and this may reflect the lower rate of CHD in women as compared to men.

"EFFECTIVENESS AND TOLERABILITY OF CV-3988, A SELECTIVE PAF ANTAGONIST, AFTER INTRAVENOUS ADMINISTRATION TO MAN." In XIth International Congress on Thrombosis and Haemostasis.

Platelet activating factor (PAF) is a naturally occurring phospholipid with a wide spectrum of biological activities. Although PAF has been ascribed a potential role in various conditions including inflammation, asthma, glomerulonephritis and thrombosis, its precise function in physiologic/pathophysiologic processes remains unclear. The introduction of selective PAF receptor antagonists could represent a useful tool to extend our knowledge of the role of this mediator in health and disease.We have investigated the efficacy and tolerability of (RS)-2-methoxy-3-(octadecylcarbomoyloxy)propy1 2-(3-thiazolio)-ethyIphosphate (CV-3988, Takeda Chem. Ind), a selective PAF antagonist with structural analogies with PAF, after intravenous infusion in man in a double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The compound, in doses from 750 to 2,000 pg/kg, significantly reduced platelet sensitivity to PAF. The threshold aggregating concentration (TAC) of PAF was defined as the minimal concentration causing an irreversible aggregation with a maximal amplitude of at least 50% of the difference in light transmission between platelet rich plasma and platelet poor plasma. It increased in a dose-dependent manner reaching 3.6 times the basal TAC (p<0.0005) at the end and 2.60 times the basal TAC (p<0.0005) 4 hours after infusion of the highest dose. The TAC of PAF returned to the basal value within 24 hours after the end of the infusion.CV-3988 did not cause major side effects nor changes in blood pressure, pulse or respiratory rate. However, small but clinically insignificant changes in plasma haemoglobin and serum haptoglobin were seen at the end and four hours after the end of the infusion, indicating a slight haemolysis probably by high local concentrations at the infusion site.Our results indicate that, when adequate infusion volumes and infusion rates are used, CV-3988 can be safely administered to man and should be useful in elucidating the role of PAF in health and disease.

Professor M. Zhytaryuk’s review is about a book scientific novelty – a monograph by Professor M. Tymoshyk «Ukrainian journalism in the diaspora: Great Britain. Monograph. K.: Our culture and science, 2020. 500 p. – il., Them. pok., resume English, German, Polish.». Well-known scientist and journalism critic, Professor M. S. Tymoshyk, wrote a thorough work, which, in terms of content, is a combination of a monograph, a textbook and a scientific essay. This book can be useful for both students and practicing journalists or anyone interested in the history of the Ukrainian diaspora, Ukrainian journalism and Ukrainian culture. The author dedicated his work to Stepan Yarmus from Winnipeg, Canada – archpriest, journalist, editor, professor. As the epigraph to the book were taken the words of Ivan Bagryany: «Our press, born under the sword of Damocles of repatriation», not only survived and survived to this day, but also showed a brilliant ability to grow and develop. It was shown that beggars that had come to the West without money at heart can and know how to act so organized. It was also an example of how a modern «enbolshevist» and «denationalized» by the occupier man person is capable of a combined mass action».
