Body and psychological or somatic and psychological

If we think of health, disease, respectively, we can look at the human person as a sum of parts (systems, organ) or as a whole. In primul caz, incercam din punct de vedere medical sa tratam diferitele parti care nu functioneaza bine, ignorand adesea interactiunile cu celelalte parti si, mai ales, modul cum simte fiecare boala sa, suferinta, diagnosticul sau tratamentul. In the first case, try it medically to treat different parts that do not work well, often ignoring interactions with other parties and, especially, how it feels every illness, pain, diagnosis or treatment.

We can, however, of any "patient" as a person who has a body and a psychic're always on the interaction. Ne putem gandi ca o stare psihologica produce tulburari organice sau ca o conditie patologica determina anumite trairi psihice. We can think of a psychological state that produces organic disorder or pathological condition as a result of certain psychological experiences.

Sometimes, after lengthy medical investigation is not found an organic cause of symptoms that upset us. When we hear phrases like: "is in substance disorders," is of psychogenic origin, "is due to stress. There are different ways of saying that in terms of somatic, organic, no one cause, but the symptom there is real and because it is psychological. In this category there are many diseases that are fully or partially caused by mental states. From eating disorders like anorexia or bulimia so common in adolescence, psychogenic vomiting appeared infant, child or adult, to enuresis, sexual disorders and skin problems to dizziness, headaches, asthma, insomnia, infertility ... find after a road go with patient cases in which we have thought.A separation, a mourning, an accident or an event which do not consider important may be the origin of the disorder.

In these cases, psychotherapy is the solution of the problem. It is however difficult to find a solution to the psychotherapist is among the last to reach the person suffering. . Psychotherapy is not magic but a way to help the patient to express in words the pain his body was not physically separate but both consider them his own, to make connections that do not think so then you can return to consciousness experiences that have been ignored, downplayed or suppressed.  

Certainly in many cases you need both drug treatment and psychotherapy and counseling. It is also important to remember that both children from the earliest age, and adults can benefit from psychological help tailored to their age and condition.

In addition, in many cases of chronic illness, disability, accident, very scary in terms of mental, psychological help is recommended for the patient or his family.

 

Flu facilitate overgrowth of pneumonia bacteria

Influenza, viral infection consisting of a medical condition characterized by fever, cough, headache and body pain, complicated by a bacterial pneumonia, leading to the development of breakthrough very dangerous.

A study conducted by the joint venture by the scientists from the Center for Infection Research in Braunschweig, the University Otto - von - Guericke and the Karolinska Institute in Sweden examined the link between influenza infections and pneumonia.

Some viral infections lead to a so-called lymphopenia (decreased below normal levels of lymphocytes circulating valorem), the reason for this decline remains unknown. The researchers inoculated guinea pigs with influenza virus and measured their daily plasma lymphocytes. On some days, infected mice were exposed to doses of bacteria causing pneumonia, the dose usually has no noticeable effect on healthy people are quickly countered by the immune system. Previously inoculated mice developed an overgrowth influenza pneumonia and died, but surprisingly, biological samples did not show a lymphopenia.

Previously healthy mice (neinoculati influenza virus) have kept the state of health.To discover if a drop in immune cells favors a bacteria infection, pneumonia, some healthy mice received an immunosuppressive agent inducandu lymphopenia being iatrogenic. Then were exposed bacteria pneumonia, but despite limfopeniei, mice and completely recovered.

With these results, researchers were able to demonstrate that facilitates and enhances a flu infection, pneumonia, infirmand assumption that this is caused by a drop in immune cells. Researchers hypothesis is that the phenomenon observed is the result of the host immune system function. It inhibits, through a negative feedback, anti-influenza overactive immune cells not to cause healthy lung tissue autolyzer a decrease in the number of elements and system functions monocito - macrophages. Ultrastructural phenomena can occur as a weight loss of barrier function of airway mucosal cell membrane. The combination of these two phenomena histoire-physiological result in the possibility of development of bacterial cultures. The results obtained on animal models are the reference for the occurrence of similar situations in humans.  The study is among the first that sense it realtà between influenza and pneumonia, and therefore further studies must verify whether the model is viable and discovered the disease process is repeated.

With this so called "pigflu or pig influenza"" and the winter approach is better to know and to be protected.

Some health articles...back

I haven't road since god knows when. A lot of changes, i've moved out and my college come back for a second act.
