In a recent edition of the Schizophrenia Bulletin devoted to negative symptoms, the editor suggested at the beginning of his preface that what he called the “positive–negative symptom distinction” had been introduced into psychiatry only a decade previously (Levine, 1985). Many authors in the same volume seemed to agree with him; at least they did not emphasise any continuity with earlier work. There were a few notable exceptions. Since, for more than 30 years, I have seen the relationship between psychological deficit (cognitive defect, negative syndrome) and the productive (florid, positive) symptoms as lying at the heart of the mystery of schizophrenia, it seemed possible that some account of how that interest arose and developed might still be timely. This is part of the history of the Social Psychiatry Research Unit of the Medical Research Council.

RésuméZotepine was studied in 15 schizophrenic patients over a period of 28 days with regard to its antipsychotic efficacy, effect on negative schizophrenic symptoms, tolerability and adverse effects. Nine patients received Zotepine in a high dosage of 230 mg/die±52 mg, 6 patients in a low dosage of 168 mg/die ± 18 mg. Two patients receiving the high dosage dropped out after 21 days because of worsening of symptomatology and suicide attempts. Zotepine had rapid antipsychotic effects with sedative properties during the initial days of treatment. Minimal adverse effects and extra-pyramidal motor disturbances as well as dose-dependent positive effects on negative schizophrenie symptoms were found.

Full textAbstract:
IgG4-related autoimmune diseases (IgG4 RD) are a relatively recently recognised group of disease processes that can affect multiple organ systems and result in protean symptoms. Here, we present a rare case of a 69-year-old man with a history of IgG4 RD affecting his lacrimal gland and pancreas who developed symptoms of severe laryngitis not responsive to usual therapy. He presented with non-productive cough, hoarseness and dyspnoea. Imaging findings suggestive of aortitis and laryngeal inflammation in the setting of his IgG4 RD history prompted treatment with rituximab, which resulted in resolution of his laryngeal symptoms. Subsequently, his cough returned and he required periodic rituximab infusions to stay symptom-free. IgG4 RD of the larynx is an uncommonly reported manifestation in literature. This disease is very responsive to anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody treatment. IgG4 RD should be considered in patients with airway symptoms that are especially refractory to usual therapy.

Full textAbstract:
Kasa is the disease of Pranavaha strotas. It may develop as an independent disease, symptom or complication. In Kaphaja Kasa Kasavega is associated with Bahala Ghana Nishtivana. It can be correlated with Chronic Bronchitis due to similarities of signs and symptoms. Chronic Bronchitis is characterized by productive cough associated with sputum for at least 3 consecutive months for more than two successive years. The initial symptoms are repeated attacks of productive cough which shows a steady increase in severity during the winter months and present all the year round with recurrent respiratory infections. Ayurveda described many herbomineral formulations for management of Kasa. One such formulation Bibhitakavaleha is mentioned in Gadanigraha, which consists of Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellerica Roxb.), Gomutra (Cow urine) and Madhu (Honey). Methods: In this case series 30 patients having classical symptoms of Kaphaja Kasa were treated with Bibhitakavaleha 10gm twice a day with lukewarm water for 15 days with the aim to prove the efficacy of it in the management of Kaphaja Kasa. Subjective criteria like Kasavega, Kasa nishtiva, Shwaskricchrata, Peenas, Shirshool and Aruchi with Laboratory parameters like TLC (Total Leukocyte Count), Neutrophils, Absolute Eosinophil Count (AEC) and ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) were assessed before and after treatment. Result: Significant improvement was observed in all parameters after treatment. Bibhitaki possesses Kashaya Rasa, Madhura Vipaka, Ushna Veerya & Laghu, Ruksha Guna which plays a major role in relieving Kasa. Conclusion: Hence it can be concluded that Kaphaja Kasa can be effectively treated with Bibhitakavaleha.

Full textAbstract:
A survey was taken of working women concerning any premenstrual symptoms they may have experienced and the self-reported effects) on their job productivity. The sample consisted of n = 197 completed survey instruments. The most commonly listed symptoms (listed by more than 50% of the respondents) were: irritability, bloating, mood changes, depression, weight gain, headaches, and anger. These symptoms were reported as affecting job performance by 57% of the women and 40% indicated feeling less productive during the onset of premenstrual symptoms. The symptoms of mood changes, irritability, anger, and depression were significantly correlated with lower job performance as reported by the women. When the sample was divided into three groups based on age, there were no significant differences in the reporting of premenstrual symptoms and the severity of the symptoms. However, the three groups did show significant differences in the way the symptoms were reported to have affected their job performance. The younger group of women had a significantly higher proportion of respondents reporting that their premenstrual symptoms were adversely affecting their lives and job performance/productivity. Finally, when the sample was divided between managerial and non-managerial women, no significant differences were found.

Full textAbstract:
Our reintroduction of the concept of negative symptoms in schizophrenia (Strauss et al, 1974) has been followed by much productive research on this topic. As in the work of Andreason, Crowe, and others, the focus of most of this research has been on improving descriptive assessments of these symptoms (Andreason, 1982) and exploring their biological correlates (Crowe, 1981). This work has been extremely important, but psychological and social aspects of negative symptoms are also important (Barton, 1959; Wing & Brown, 1970; Gruenberg, 1967), and in these areas there has been little research. Nevertheless, it is crucial to explore possible psychological and social factors in negative symptoms in order to understand the symptoms more fully and to provide a basis for more adequate prevention and treatment. It is also important to clarify psychological and social factors in these symptoms to provide a basis for more effective biological research, since the heterogeneity of negative symptoms at a psychological level could hide significant biological correlates.

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the impact of lower gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms in the general Canadian population, and to explore patient satisfaction with traditional therapies and the level of patient interest in new treatments.PATIENTS AND METHODS: Stage 1: A telephone survey of a weighted sample of 1000 adults (18 years of age or older) was conducted to determine the prevalence of five GI symptoms – abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, bloating, constipation or constipation with occasional diarrhea -- that were present for 12 weeks or more (not necessarily consecutive) over the past year. Respondents with only abdominal pain were excluded. Stage 2: A telephone survey of 689 women (18 to 64 years of age), experiencing the GI symptoms described in stage 1, was conducted to assess symptom impact and treatment satisfaction.RESULTS: Overall, 5.2% of the Canadian population (2.3% men and 7.9% women) experienced one or more lower GI symptoms (excluding those reporting abdominal pain alone). In stage 2, 26.2% of respondents had previously been diagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome. Overall, 78.1% of participants experienced two or more symptoms. Bloating was the most common symptom (75.3%) and abdominal pain the most bothersome and most severe. Over the previous three months, 13.2% of respondents missed work or school and 28.8% were less productive. At least one physician (average of 2.2 physicians) was consulted for symptoms in 80.9% of respondents. Of the 63.8% women receiving treatment, most used nonprescription products. Patients receiving prescription treatments for constipation were most often dissatisfied (75%).CONCLUSIONS: Abdominal pain and discomfort, bloating and constipation are common, frequently occurring symptoms in the Canadian population and have a high burden on work performance and health care seeking. Most patients were dissatisfied with traditional therapies.

This paper explores the generation Z (Gen Z) cohort’s self-assessed knowledge regarding the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptoms as well as their interest in acquiring information and learning more about the transmission and spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-COV-2 virus) and the COVID-19 symptoms. Additionally, it investigates gender differences in self-assessed knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms. Field research employing a nonprobability sampling method with an online questionnaire resulted in collecting 762 valid questionnaires. Data analysis included descriptive statistics, factor and reliability analysis, and the independent sample t-test. Results reveal that overall symptom knowledge was assessed higher than the self-assessed knowledge of the 13 specific symptoms. No gender differences were detected regarding self-assessed knowledge of the following COVID-19 symptoms: cough, dyspnea, anorexia, productive cough with expectoration (phlegm), headache, and diarrhea. On the other hand, for self-assessed overall knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms, as well as self-assessed knowledge of COVID-19 symptoms related to fever and fatigue, myalgia (muscle pain), pharyngodynia, nausea–vomitus, hemoptysis, and abdominal pain, the t-tests conducted showed that there are statistical differences in knowledge assessment between male and female subjects. Based on the outcomes, the paper provides marketing communication practices targeting this young generation cohort to raise awareness so that Gen Z’ers may react effectively if these symptoms are observed and, thus, request medical assistance.

27 Background: Cancer patients report many physical and emotional symptoms which can go unreported and underestimated resulting in unmet needs. Research suggests systematic collection of symptom data is associated with decreased emergency department use, increased quality of life, treatment toleration and overall survival. The multiple myeloma (MM) patient population is noted to have high symptom burden and represent an important target for intervention. This project aimed to develop a prototype app to facilitate MM patient/clinician communication about symptom management. Methods: 15 MM patients and 11 MM clinicians were interviewed to better understand patients’ symptom experience and management practices and preferences. Insights gained guided development of a prototype MM Coach mobile app. The think aloud protocol and cognitive interviewing were used to test usability and the prototype was iteratively refined. Results: Subjects highlighted a need for better symptom tracking over time, medication adherence tools, and real-time feedback to help patients self-manage symptoms. Our prototype app contains several modules designed to facilitate MM patient symptom management. 1) Track Symptoms; Using the Edmonton Symptom Assessment Scale patients track bothersome symptoms whenever they occur. 2) Track Medications; Patients can set up medication alerts and log medication use. 3) Track Mood; Patients record and track their distress level using the Distress Thermometer. 4) Relaxation Tools; This module contains a number of useful mind body activities such as guided imagery. 5) Get Support; Links to MM and non-MM related sources of support. 6) Prepare for Appointments; This module facilitates patients’ prioritizing issues to facilitate productive clinical encounters. 7) Insights; Patients and clinicians can review trends in symptom burden and medication adherence. 8) Learn; Educational content on topics relevant to MM symptoms such as pain, fatigue, depression. Conclusions: Our team is currently working with mobile app developers to build a version for the iOS AppStore and Android GooglePlay store. A pilot will be conducted to evaluate acceptability and feasibility in preparation for a clinical trial.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose This research explored syntactic growth in children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) over a 5-year period, and variability in growth in relation to autism symptoms, nonverbal cognition, maternal responsivity, and gender. Method Language samples at 4 time points from 39 children with FXS, 31 boys and 8 girls, were analyzed using the Index of Productive Syntax (Scarborough, 1990) and mean length of utterance (Brown, 1973). The degree of autism symptoms was evaluated using the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (Schopler, Reichler, & Renner, 1988) at the first time point. Maternal responsivity estimates were averaged across time points. Results Children with FXS showed significant syntactic growth over time and a significant plateau (quadratic trend) in the later observations. Children who exhibited more autism symptoms at Time 1 had significantly lower syntactic abilities over time than children who exhibited fewer autism symptoms. Nonverbal cognition significantly predicted mean length of utterance scores but not Index of Productive Syntax scores. Maternal responsivity was not a significant predictor of syntactic outcomes. Girls with FXS generally demonstrated better expressive syntax than boys with FXS with notable individual differences. Conclusion Despite significant growth over time, expressive syntax is a vulnerable domain for children with FXS, especially for those with severe autism symptoms. Clinical implications arising from the current findings are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Negative symptoms encompass a broad constellation of psycho-behavioral phenomena, including affective flattening, poverty of speech, alogia, avolition, social withdrawal, apathy and anhedonia. These phenomena obviously exert a substantial impact on personal autonomy, quality of life and broad functional outcomes, ultimately being an important challenge for clinical decision-making and therapeutic support. In recent years, the attention to negative symptoms in schizophrenia has revamped, boosting the development of new rating tools as well as a broader conceptualization of derivative constructs (e.g. apathy, amotivation, anhedonia). However, despite its behavioral expressivity, the in-depth phenotypic characterization of negative symptoms remains partly unaddressed. Similarly, their clinical intertwining with other non-productive clinical features (e.g. anomalous subjective experiences, cognitive-perceptual basic symptoms and schizotypal features) is generally overlooked. Therefore, the current presentation specifically offers a stratified overview of the phenomenology of negative symptoms filtered through lens of clinical psychopathology.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his declaration of competing interest.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. Over the last three decades the prevalence of respiratory diseases has been increasing worldwide thus increasing economic burden on the healthcare system. Recent studies have shown that the prevalence of asthma in West European countries ranges from 6-9%, while of chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD) is 8.0% worlwide. Objective. The aim of the study was to estimate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and smoking habits, and to assess the prevalence of asthma and chronic bronchitis among adults in Belgrade, Serbia. Methods. To collect data we used a questionnaire based on the European Community Respiratory Health Survey (ECRHS) protocol, which was mailed to 10,208 randomly selected subjects. Results. There were 58.3% of responders to our questionnaire. We noted a higher prevalence of respiratory symptoms in subjects who responded promptly. The majority of the respondents were current or former smokers (37.5% and 17.5% respectively) and 79.9% of them reported respiratory symptoms. The most frequent symptoms were longstanding cough (32.2%), sputum production (30.4%) and wheezing (30.3%). Asthma attacks were reported in 4.4% of cases and 5.6% of subjects were using asthma medications. The prevalence of respiratory symptoms increased with age. Women reported coughing, attacks of breathlessness and coughing, chest tightness by night, allergic rhinitis and chronic coughing, more frequently than men. Productive cough was more frequent in men. The prevalence of almost all symptoms was higher in smokers compared to nonsmokers. Conclusion. In Serbia there is a high prevalence of respiratory symptoms, asthma and chronic bronchitis smoking addiction.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Little is known about the work productivity loss in multiple sclerosis (MS). Objectives: To quantify the MS-related work productivity loss and to compare factors associated with labour force participation and work productivity loss. Methods: Participants were from the Australian MS Longitudinal Study. MS-related work productivity loss included absenteeism (time missed from work) and presenteeism (reduced productivity while working). Data were analysed using log-binomial and Cragg hurdle regression. Results: Among 740 MS employees, 56% experienced any work productivity loss due to MS in the past 4 weeks. The mean total work productivity loss was 2.5 days (14.2% lost productive time), absenteeism 0.6 days (3.4%) and presenteeism 1.9 days (10.8%)), leading to AU$6767 (US$4985, EURO€4578) loss per person annually. Multivariable analyses showed that work productivity was determined most strongly by symptoms, particularly ‘fatigue and cognitive symptoms’ and ‘pain and sensory symptoms’, while older age, and lower education level were also predictive of not being in the labour force. Conclusion: MS-related presenteeism was three times higher than absenteeism, highlighting the importance of presenteeism being included in employment outcomes. The dominance of symptom severity as predictors of both work participation and productivity loss emphasises the need for improved management of symptoms.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAsthma is a common disease and a major public health concern. Respiratory symptoms are related to its prognosis, which in turn associates with lung function. Still this association on a long-term basis is not entirely understood.AimTo study the association of the type and number of respiratory symptoms with FEV1 and FEV1 decline in women and men with asthma.MethodA population-based cohort of adults with asthma was examined at study entry between 1986 and 2001 and at follow-up between 2012 and 2014, and n=977 had valid measurements of FEV1 on both occasions. Data regarding respiratory symptoms at study entry (recurrent wheeze, dyspnoea, longstanding cough and productive cough) were analysed in relation to FEV1 and annual decline in FEV1, both unadjusted and adjusted for other potentially associated factors by linear regression.ResultsFor both sexes recurrent wheeze and dyspnoea were associated with lower FEV1 at study entry and follow-up, while productive cough was associated with lower FEV1 only at follow-up. No associations were found between the type of symptoms and annual decline in FEV1. In adjusted analyses, the association between recurrent wheeze and lower FEV1 both at study entry and follow-up remained significant among women. Also, the association between a higher number of symptoms with lower FEV1 both at study entry and follow-up were present for both sexes and remained after adjustment.ConclusionsParticularly recurrent wheeze and a higher number of respiratory symptoms may predict lower lung function also in the long run among women and men with asthma.

Full textAbstract:
The clinical manifestations of COVID-19 vary widely, ranging from asymptomatic to very severe respiratory distress. Both the body's immune response, both the natural body's immune response and the adaptive body's immune response, play a very important role in the course of COVID-19. Most patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 show symptoms of the respiratory system such as fever, coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath. The most common symptoms are fever, dry cough, fatigue, and anosmia or ageusia. Other symptoms that can be found are productive cough, shortness of breath, sore throat, headache, myalgia/arthralgia, chills, nausea/vomiting, nasal congestion, diarrhea, abdominal pain, hemoptysis, and conjunctival congestion. A study concluded that more than 40% of fevers in COVID-19 patients had peak temperatures between 38.1-39°C, while 34% had fevers over 39°C.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: Disabled people experience worse situation in respect of the stress, health, and socio-demographic indicators than healthy people. Little knowledge is available about the way in which this disadvantage is patterned by employment status and occupation type, especially in employees with physical disabilities. Few studies have investigated the potential effect of employment status and occupation type on general health and occupational stress in physically disabled employees. This study investigated the role of employment status and occupation type and demographic factors in predicting general health and also, examined the relations between occupational stress and general health while adjusting for demographic factors among employees with physical disabilities in vocational centers of the State Welfare Organization in Tehran City, Iran. Materials & Methods: This was a descriptive-analytical study with a cross-sectional design. The study was performed among 273 people with physical disabilities employed in the productive workrooms of vocational rehabilitation centers of Tehran, which were selected via convenience sampling. Data collection tools were Occupational Stress Index (OSI) developed by Belkic (1991) based upon cognitive ergonomics concept to measure the five key potential work-related stressors, Goldberg’s 28-item General Health Questionnaires (GHQ-28) (1979) to detect psychiatric illness as well as current psychological state in the past month and self-administered demographic form. Data analysis was conducted in SPSS software, using the independent t-test, one-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression. Results: The Mean±SD age of the physically disabled employees was 33.65 (3.76) years. Most of them were aged 30 to 39 years. (55.2%), men (60.4%), married (60.4%), with part-time employment (67%) and engaged in productive affairs (30%). The relationship between general health and occupational stress with gender and marital status was found to be significant (P<0.05). Women and married subjects had more occupational stress. Moreover, there were significant differences in general health and occupational stress subscales regarding employment status (P<0.05). Part-time employees were exposed to more stressful physical conditions and accidents at work than others, causing a higher level of occupational stress. In addition, employees who were engaged in art-related jobs had higher rate of time pressure, problems and decision-making situations in their workplace, hence, overall more occupational stress. Multiple linear regression analyses were then performed on data to identify general health predictors while adjusting for demographic variables. Age had a significant independent direct effect on enhanced somatic symptoms (β=0.16). Disabled women had a higher score of somatic symptoms than men (β=1.97). Furthermore, part-time employment was directly related to somatic and depression symptoms (β=1.26 and 1.51). Productive works were significantly associated with a higher level of somatic symptoms, anxiety, insomnia and depression symptoms (β=1.28, 1.53 and 1.95, respectively). Therefore, being female, employing as a part-time worker and working in productive affairs were significant predictors of somatic and depressive symptoms in physically disabled employees. Moreover, the physical condition of the workplace, workplace problems and decision-making situations were positively related to somatic symptoms (β=0.7, 0.13 and 0.14, respectively). In overall, 49% of the variance in somatic symptoms (the best model fit) could be explained by independent variables. Conclusion: Employment status and occupation type are significantly related to occupational stress, which in turn, causes general health disparities among people with physical disabilities. With respect to the higher level of somatic symptoms and depression in part-time employees, it seems that changing their employment status to full-time, can reduce their stress load and improve their health. In addition, women and married subjects experience more occupational stress and have more somatic symptoms

Decreasing egg production is an initial symptom of various diseases that infect commercial layer chickens. Diagnosis of diseases causing the decrease in egg production without high mortality rate is often thought to be caused by other poultry diseases because of the many similarities in manifestation between one disease and another. Avian influenza is a zoonotic infectious disease in poultry that can lead to high economic losses. This study aims to determine the contribution of avian influenza virus (AIV) infection to commercial laying hens showing symptoms of decreased production. The samples were oropharyngeal swabs of commercial laying hens which had symptoms of decreased production at productive age. Laboratory tests were carried out by histopathological examination, detection and identification of AIV with real time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) and isolation with the viral culture technique on fertile chicken eggs. The results showed that there was type A AIV infection based on the qRT-PCR (matrix) test, but the subtypes were not identified (H5, H7, H9). The results of the isolation of the virus in the fertile chicken eggs showed embryonic death in which all embryonic organs show hemorrhages. Allantoic fluid does not agglutinate chicken red blood cells. Histopathological features of the pathognomonic lesions in lungs infected with AIV were severe congestion and hemorrhages. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that there was a contribution of type A AIV infection. Early diagnosis of AIV could determine more appropriate actions, including control, prevention and eradication.

Respiratory diseases are among the five leading causes of death in Brazil, particularly among the elderly. This study identified the occurrence of respiratory symptoms in older persons. Specifically, a descriptive, observational, and quantitative study was conducted using a sample of elderly people enrolled in the Hypertension and Diabetes sessions of the Family Health Strategy program in a Brazilian city. MRC-ATS-DLD78 questionnaires were used to analyze respiratory symptoms with a sample comprised of 50 volunteers (mean age = 69.96 years). The median time living in a dwelling within a polluted sample area was 30 years, with 82% reporting spending more time per day at home or in the neighborhood. The presence of coughing was reported by 18% persons, expectoration (17%), productive cough (14%), wheezing (34%), dyspnea (12%), and respiratory diseases (26%). Physiological changes in aging associated with the effects of pollution exposure leave elderly people more vulnerable to respiratory diseases because they are predisposed to diseases, such as decreased pulmonary elasticity, elevated lung compliance, reduced oxygen diffusion capacity, reduced expiratory flow, and premature closure of airways. The occurrence of respiratory symptoms in the elderly was 30% with one symptom, two (22%), three (10%), four (6%), and five (2%).

Analysis of the biochemical profile of blood serum showed the presence of a number of subclinical abnormalities in a number of indicators, namely (in parentheses are the reference values): Ca/P – 0.92 units (1.1–1.6); total protein – 50.52 g/l (70–85); albumin/globulin – 3.63 units (0.6–1.3); ALT – 35.32 g/l (10–30); AST – 97.32 g/l (10–50); creatinine – 186.10 μmol/l (80–130); alkaline phosphatase – 323.38 units (100–200); urea – 5.08 mmol/l (3.5–6.0). Due to the fact that the active livestock of the dairy complex was provided with fodder base, timely addition of optimized according to modern standards complete mixed diet with 4 % mineral premix, the main causes of biochemical metabolic disorders can be considered dysfunction of intestinal microbiota, digestive and protective functions. of the mucous membrane due to chronic latent inflammatory processes, which was confirmed by the results of the assessment of feed transit (40.09 % of the remains of the daily diet of cows remained after washing of manure samples, which differed in a significant amount of undigested feed components and the inclusion of exfoliated necrotic particles of the mucous membrane). The latent course and accumulation of alimentary pathologies of the digestive tract contributed to the formation of a negative background for the symptoms of endogenous hunger in cows, manifested by signs of altrophagia, which were only clinical and ethological signals of chronic metabolic disorders in many high-yielding lactation groups. Given the importance of maintaining a high physiological status of dairy cows for profitable dairy production, the need to continue research to study the ethological signals of animals remains relevant to find effective means of preventing foodborne illness, including normoflorization of digestive mucosa.

Complaints of dry non-productive cough are one of the most common problems that patients come to a GP with, especially in the cold and wet season [1]. It is a dry cough that is one of the coronavirus pathognomonic symptoms, but it can be indicative of the onset of a dozen other diseases. This symptom is not an independent pathology, its appearance is characteristic of the onset of a number of infectious and inflammatory processes, acute respiratory diseases, and allergic reactions. Dry cough can occur when a foreign body enters the upper respiratory tract and also indicate major problems in the respiratory system, and in some cases, the cardiovascular system. A dry cough is often the cause of sleep disorders, regularly recurring attacks can lead to the patient’s asthenisation and a significant life quality deterioration. Correct diagnosis plays a fundamental role in the choice of treatment tactics. Treatment of dry cough manifestations should be comprehensive and aimed at eliminating its causes, rather than symptoms.

The 2007 Basic Health Survey shows the highest number of deaths in Indonesia rural and urban areas was caused by stroke. In 2007-2013, the stroke prevalence in productive age increased up to 22‰. Stroke that attacks productive age can impair individual’s ability to do activities, and thus they might have family financial constraint. Disabilities can be prevented and minimized if patients utilize a golden period of an ischemic stroke. This study identified the utilization of golden period of ischemic stroke in patients and analyzed causes of delayed patient admission to the Neurology Clinic of Sidoarjo Hospital. This study was a descriptive study conducted to 39 post-stroke ischemic patients in productive ages under further therapy at the Neurology Clinic of Sidoarjo Hospital in 2016. The data were collected through interview from January-February 2017. The results present 62% of stroke ischemic patients utilized the golden period of a ischemic stroke. The average respondents' admission took 29.87±47.46 hours after patients experienced first stroke ischemic attacks (ranging from 1-168 hours). The respondents were admitted to the hospital late or >4.5 hours after the stroke attacks because most of them did not know stroke signs and symptoms. Therefore, hospitals or health care providers have to provide counseling service to patients and family members about stroke signs and symptoms, as well as the importance of early admission for treatment as soon as patient gets the first stroke attack. Keywords: utilization of the golden period, ischemic stroke, productive age.

Abstract. The article deals with theoretical analysis of the problem of professional competence of future psychologists in preventive work with children with neurotic symptoms. The specifics and psychological features of this phenomenon are revealed due to the definition of different scientific approaches. Competence of future specialists in preventive activities is a multifunctional category that has a multilevel structure (professional knowledge and skills, values, attitudes to professional activities (motivation) and the ability to improve it, productivity, etc.), characterizes the individual as a subject of a particular activity and provides achieving success. The complex approach to a problem of the maintenance of professional training of psychologists concerning prevention of difficulties of personal formation of younger students with neurotic symptoms is offered. It is assumed that the formation of professional competence of future psychologists in the innovative conditions of higher professional education will be successful if an interdisciplinary approach to this problem is applied. For this purpose it is necessary to involve progressive researches of psychology, medicine, propaedeutics, pedagogics, sociology, etc. We present the results of an empirical study of the cognitive component of readiness of students-psychologists for preventive activities and determine the levels of readiness of future psychologists for preventive work ‒ reproductive (low), reproductive-productive (below average), productive (above average) and creative (high). The most important conditions for the preparation of future psychologists for preventive work with children with neurotic symptoms have been identified. Certain factors of formation of professional competence of future psychologists concerning preventive activity are highlighted.

Health services at productive age are health services for every citizen aged 15 to 59 years in the form of education and health screening in their working area within one year. Productive age health services according to standards include health education including family planning and screening for risk factors for communicable and non-communicable diseases. Educational services at productive age are carried out at Health Service Facilities and/or UKBM. Risk factor screening services at productive age are carried out at least once a year, one of which is anamnesa of risky behavior. Risky behavior arises from the perception of society (especially mothers) who consider menopause as a frightening time. There are still many people (mothers) who do not understand menopause, its causes, symptoms and factors that influence menopause symptoms. People (mothers) are reluctant to ask health workers about menopause and its consequences. Many people (mothers) still don't know how to live a healthy life during menopause. The framework of the problem is the provision of counseling to increase knowledge about menopause, signs and symptoms, trigger factors, and menopausal lifestyle. Providing health education about lifestyle and diet arrangements to prevent comorbidities during menopause. The existence of health education can reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases that arise from risky behavior and this has an impact on increasing life expectancy making the population of the elderly group even greater. Realization that has been done includes health counseling with lectures about menopause and various diseases that accompany menopause as well as counseling about lifestyle that must be done in facing menopause. The results obtained from this health education activity turned out that PKK mothers really need correct and appropriate information about menopause, because if mothers do not have sufficient knowledge and will have wrong perceptions or think menopause is a scary time and anxiety will arise which will result in the emergence of various non-communicable diseases or accompanying infectious diseases during menopause.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction Intractable and persistent cough is experienced by more than a third of patients with advanced cancer, with a significant negative impact on quality of life. Pharmacological treatment has been of little help in some patients. Limited evidence suggests novel agents such as paroxetine may reduce cough severity. This retrospective study aimed to assess effectiveness and tolerability of paroxetine for the treatment of intractable cough in patients with cancer. Methods Single-centre medical record review of paroxetine use in patients with advanced malignancy and cough treated at an Australia tertiary referral cancer centre between 1 October 2012 and 1 October 2017. Data relating to cough type and severity, response and adverse events were extracted from medical records. Cough type was described as non-productive dry cough, productive chesty cough or cough exhibiting both non-productive and productive features (mixed cough). Results Overall, 24/34 patients (71%) experienced a major or moderate reduction in their cough severity after treatment with paroxetine. Nearly half (47%) described a major improvement and a quarter (24%) moderate improvement. Of the 34 patients, nearly half had a lung primary cancer (16/34, 47%) and nearly all (17/18) of those without lung cancer had lung metastases from another primary cancer. Patients with dry cough reported greater benefit from paroxetine. Of the 56% (19/34) of patients with non-productive dry cough, 80% (15/19) reported an improvement in symptoms post paroxetine. The remaining 15 patients, 44% of the group, presented with either a productive chesty cough (9/34, 27%) or mixed cough (6/34, 18%). Of these patients, 60% (9/15) reported an improvement in symptoms. Two thirds of patients were commenced on paroxetine 10 mg (22/34, 65%), with the remainder starting at 20 mg (14/34, 35%). Conclusion Paroxetine may be an effective, novel, off-label treatment for intractable and persistent cough in patients with advanced cancer.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) which started in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China, and progressed to a pandemic affecting over 210 countries and territories including the United States. The severity of symptoms range from mild to critical disease involving multi-organ failure; however, many pregnant COVID-19 patients have mild symptoms. The understanding of COVID-19 is evolving and there is limited data about its effects in pregnancy. This case series features two pregnant patients with COVID-19 with a range of symptoms, including fever, non-productive cough, headache, and worsening dyspnea. Both patients had chest x-ray findings notable for lung opacities, and lymphopenia was a consistent abnormal laboratory finding. Both of the patients had hypoxia which was treated with hydroxychloroquine and lopinavir-ritonavir with significant improvement in clinical symptoms and prolongation of pregnancy.

The purpose of this article is to summarize the results of studies examining the validity of the positive and negative sub-types of schizophrenia as proposed by Crow. The authors summarized Crow's model's predictions in the form of 12 research questions and examined whether its predictions were confirmed. The following predictions are generally confirmed by the data collected: (i) it is possible to measure negative symptoms with accuracy; (ii) the negative symptoms predict a deterioration; (Hi) the negative symptoms are generally correlated with overall cognitive deficits; (iv) each dimension appears to have distinct neurobiological substrata. However, several elements of the Crow model are not supported by the data collected. Among the necessary modifications, the most important are as follows: (i) it appears more productive to conceive of the negative symptoms as distinct dimensions, rather than distinct diseases; (ii) at least three dimensions exist for describing the symptoms of schizophrenia; (Hi) the negative symptoms are not necessarily intrinsic to the schizophrenic process, and they may be due to other causes; (iv) the negative symptoms are not necessarily irreversible, and can be improved under ataractics; (v) the positive symptoms, in particular those relating to disorganization, can also be correlated with cognitive deficits.

Full textAbstract:
Arachnoiditis is an organic lesion of the brain, manifested as diffuse productive inflammation in the arachnoid membrane of the brain with the formation of adhesions and cysts, involving the pia mater, ependyma and subependymal layer of the ventricles and choroid plexuses in the pathological process. The incidence of the disease is approximately 3–5 % among all organic lesions of the central nervous system. Arachnoiditis can be autoimmune in nature, the pathogenesis of which is hyperproduction of autoantibodies followed by hyperplasia of the arachnoid endothelium as a result of their effect, or manifest itself as residual manifestations after a neuroinfection or traumatic brain injury. In most cases, focal symptoms accompanying arachnoiditis are associated with irritant action and involvement of the underlying brain structures in the adhesive process. The clinical picture is a complex symptom complex, including a combination of general infectious, cerebral, focal symptoms and signs of changes in the composition of the cerebrospinal fluid. Of the cerebral symptoms, headache comes first; it occurs in 80 % of patients with a history of arachnoiditis. The greatest intensity of the headache is noted in the early morning hours; very often it is accompanied by nausea and vomiting. In the vast majority of cases, this pain is based on intracranial hypertension. In addition to headaches, non-systemic dizziness is observed, and autonomic dysfunction and increased sensory excitability are noted in those suffering from chronic arachnoiditis.

Full textAbstract:
Acute bronchitis is an infectious inflammatory disease of the lower respiratory tract which occurs at any age. The main symptom of acute bronchitis is non-productive (dry) or productive (wet) cough. The main goal in treating acute bronchitis with productive cough is to increase expectoration, including with the help of mucoactive drugs. In clinical practice, herbal medicines are increasingly used to eliminate symptoms of the disease and to suppress inflammation. The advantage of herbal coughs medicines is that various compounds of herbal ingredients are able to enhance the desired effects and neutralize side effects. Among the numerous expectorant herbal preparations, only a few, namely, preparations of common ivy, thyme and primrose, have the most complex effect: they increase mucus secretion and motility, reduce respiratory tract tone and inhibit inflammation. A comparative pharmacoeconomic analysis of medicines based on ivy extract in the form of syrup which are available on the pharmaceutical market showed that treatment with Gederin Ivy Syrup is the optimal from a pharmacoeconomic point of view. The combination of such effects of ivy extract in the preparation Gederin Ivy, as expectorant (mucokinetic and secretolytic), bronchospasmolytic and anti-inflammatory, predetermines its pronounced clinical efficacy for the treatment of cough, as well as good tolerance, allow it to be widely used in the complex therapy of bronchitis in pediatric practice. The author declares no conflict of interest. Key words: mucoactive phytopreparations, ivy extract, efficiency, safety, economic feasibility.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis and evaluation of the literature regarding traditional treatment methods for depression among older adults compared the effectiveness of the results to the benefits of a treatment plan that integrates the narrative practices of storytelling and reflexive writing. Priority was given to peer-reviewed journal articles from 2008 forward, though some earlier information was used for clarification and foundation building.
The formation and implementation of individual patient treatment plans for depression and depressive symptoms are impacted by many variables such as: Confusion surrounding provider treatment guidelines, social organizational context, organizational climate and the differing definitions of depression that exist among providers and patients. Patients often struggle to self-identify or put words to depressive symptoms and the process of reflexive writing is transformative and increases narrative competency, which strengthens a patient’s ability to give an account of oneself, aiding in self-discovery and personal symptom awareness.
An imbalance of power exists in the clinical encounter and the practices and principles of the discipline of Narrative Medicine can have a positive impact on strengthening the therapeutic alliance and treatment outcomes. Older adults with depression and depressive symptoms have a lower quality of life and often feel less productive in their communities. Traditional pharmacologically based depression treatment plans are one-dimensional and often fail to address personal patient context and preference. Older adults living with diagnosed depression and depressive symptoms can be better served with treatment plans that include narrative techniques that increase alliance, affiliation, self-awareness and self-discovery.

A total of 135 older adults, enrolled in 2017, participated in the study. Productive roles and domains related to frailty were measured. We measured usual gait speed and grip strength for the physical domain; Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS-15) scores for the cognitive and mental domains; and social role and group activity for the social domain. Multivariate-adjusted logistic regression models revealed that having productive roles was associated with faster usual gait speed (odds ratios [OR] = 1.05; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01–1.08; p = 0.005) and lower GDS-15 score (OR = 0.79; 95% CI, 0.64–0.97; p = 0.023). These results suggest that health promotion to maintain gait speed and prevent depressive symptoms may contribute to maintaining productivity in community-dwelling older adults.

Modern diagnostic laboratory methods and application of biochemical parameters of blood will allow to determine the pathological process, determine its cause, degree of development, and prognosis. The introduction of these principles can be useful in the development and correction of health measures. The aim of this work is to identify pathognomonic metabolic signs of mycotoxicosis in cattle. In the work, highly productive cows, with clinical signs of intoxication syndrome were examined, and laboratory studies of feed confirmed the availability of metabolites of fungi.Metabolic parameters of the examined group of cows were studied in a comparative aspect with clinically healthy animals in this agricultural enterprise that were examined a year earlier.Conducted investigations have established that the use of feed, contaminated by toxic fungal metabolites leads to the development of symptoms in animals chronic toxemia.Clinical signs are the development of diarrhea and dehydration, and there is a decrease in milk production.The pathological changes that occur in toxemia lead to metabolic disturbances, which can be identified by laboratory diagnostic methods.The pathological process is accompanied by the appearance of severe form of acidosis, including renal tubular acidosis (a decrease in bicarbonate blood capacity, hyperchloremia, hyperphosphatemia, globulinemia, hypokalemia, hypercreatininaemia).Metabolic acidosis predetermines the violation of many types of metabolism, including protein, carbohydrate, mineral and lipid.The pathology of the hepato-biliary system of predominantly toxic etiology is a high percentage in the structure of diseases.Other important metabolic symptoms include the development of the inflammatory process (leukocytosis, an increase in the number of segmented neutrophils and circulating immune complexes), an increase in signs of allergization (eosinophilia, monocytophilia), as well as general intoxication (predominance of abnormal forms of erythrocytes, hypoglycemia).

Migraine is a chronic paroxysmal neurological disease characterized by attacks of moderate or severe headache accompanied by reversible neurologic and systemic symptoms. Although not life threatening, migraine can cause disability in the productive population. Migraine sufferers generally have a family history of migraine so that migraine is considered a genetic disease. Endogenous psychological factors such as stress or fatigue are the main triggers for migraine. Migraine pathophysiology involves various parts of the brain so that migraine symptoms are complex. Management of acute migraine can be done pharmacologically and non-pharmacologically. Migraine preventive management is needed if the patient has a chronic migraine or does not respond to abortive treatment.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy associated with pulmonary embolism is a rare life threatening complication of pregnancy. The early symptoms of peripartum cardiomyopathy in heart failure and pulmonary embolism mimic those of the normal physiologic changes of pregnancy, making a diagnostic dilemma. Hence, it is important to understand the principles of assessment of these conditions which mimic physiological symptoms of pregnancy. Here, we share our experience of a 22 year old, primigravida at 38 weeks of gestation with no comorbidities presented in obstetric emergency with two days history of shortness of breath and productive cough who survived from critical event following the start of unfractionated heparin infusion and other supportive treatment.

Full textAbstract:
After the 2004 tsunami devastation in Sri Lanka, many citizens experienced severe psychological reactions. The effectiveness of EMDR is illustrated in the treatment of seven of these individuals: 3 children and 2 adults with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms and 2 adults with depressive symptoms. After 3–8 sessions of EMDR the symptoms were eradicated and these clients were free from their depressive feelings, anxieties, intrusions, and nightmares, were able to function normally, and were able to lead productive lives. These outcomes replicate those in the research literature demonstrating that EMDR is an efficacious treatment for PTSD in general, with specific utility for disaster-related PTSD. It is recommended that future controlled studies be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of EMDR in the immediate aftermath of disasters and to assess its effectiveness with major depressive disorder.

Full textAbstract:
Menopause is a natural transition affecting most women between the ages of 45 and 55. Three-quarters of women will experience mild to moderate menopausal symptoms and a further quarter will report them as severe. Symptoms can include night sweats, hot flushes, poor concentration, tiredness, poor memory and lowered confidence. The workplace can exacerbate these symptoms and for some women can influence their decision to stop working earlier than previously intended. The need for support and understanding from managers is crucial and can make a major difference to how a woman deals with her menopause. Many women enter the menopause at the peak of their productive lives. These women have valuable skills, knowledge and experience that employers need to retain, so they should be developing resources to help navigate this normal and natural stage of the ageing process.

The study of clinical dynamical and therapeutic aspects of acute transient psychotic disorders without symptoms of schizophrenia was carried out on sampling of 77 examined patients with psychotic conditions corresponding to diagnostic criteria of ICD-10 for the given group of disorders (F 23.0, F 23.3, F 23.8, F 23.9). The clinical psycho-pathological, clinical catamnesis, psychometric and statistical techniques were applied. The data is presented concerning characteristics of development of acute transient psychotic disorders without symptoms of schizophrenia and also dynamics of psycho-pathologic symptomatic in process of anti-psychotic therapy. It is established that acute transient psychotic disorders revealed tendency to be recurrent in the form of productive psychotic disorders that shows the cause to prescribe supporting therapy after clinical reduction of first psychotic episode.
