In a world in which violence every form seems to be increasing, Erich Fromm has treated this problem with deep perception the most original and far-reaching work of his brilliant career. asks: what is there conditions human existence lead man orgies destruction he indulged? By drawing on findings anthropology, palaeontogy, psychology history; including striking character analyses Stalin, Hitler Himmler, shows how failure use our capacity for love reason results development reverse: we wish...
Disease-specific quality-of-life (QOL) assessment of patients with nasal valve compromise and symptomatic obstruction has not been studied previously. The objectives the study were to determine whether surgical treatment improves disease-specific QOL identify clinical or demographic variables predictive patients' baseline change in QOL.Prospective, multi-institutional outcomes 20 a surgically treatable diagnosis compromise.Disease-specific was performed using Nasal Obstruction Symptom...
Background Previous models comparing normal saline (NS) with lactated Ringer's solution (LR) for resuscitation use only mild or moderate hemorrhage and do not address the clinical situation of massive (MHR). This work compares NS LR by using a new rat model MHR. Methods were compared both traditional pressure-controlled Moderate animals bled to mean arterial pressure (MAP) = 60 mm Hg x 2 hour then resuscitated crystalloid (NS LR) 1 hour. MHR at rate estimated blood volume (EBV) per hours...
The author describes the specific diagnostic entity of manic-depressive variant syndrome childhood and outlines five essential criteria (affective storms, family history significant affective dysfunction, hyperactivity, chronically disturbed personal relationships, absence psychotic thought disorder) secondary (sleep disturbances, minimal brain abnormal EEG, enuresis, neuropathology). In four cases reported, children, when properly diagnosed, responded well to lithium therapy. points out...
Violent extremism is often explicitly motivated by commitment to abstract ideals such as the nation or divine law-so-called "sacred" values that are relatively insensitive material incentives and define our primary reference groups. Moreover, extreme pro-group behavior seems intensify after social exclusion. This fMRI study explores underlying neural behavioral relationships between sacred values, violent extremism, Ethnographic fieldwork psychological surveys were carried out among 535...
Surgical refinement of the wide nasal tip is challenging. Achieving an attractive, slender, and functional complex without destabilizing lower sidewall or deforming contracture-prone alar rim a formidable task. Excisional techniques that rely upon incremental weakening lateral cartilages (LLC) often destabilize distort contour. Initial destabilization LLC usually further exacerbated by "shrink-wrap" contracture, which leads to progressive cephalic retraction margin. The result misshapen...
Measurements of the Hall coefficient and resistivity $p$-type germanium have been made as a function magnetic field, temperature, carrier concentration between 77\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K 300\ifmmode^\circ\else\textdegree\fi{}K. An attempt is to interpret data quantitatively using two-carrier model but no completely satisfactory quantitative interpretation possible.
Violent intergroup conflicts are often motivated by commitments to abstract ideals such as god or nation, so-called 'sacred' values that insensitive material trade-offs. There is scant knowledge of how the brain processes costly sacrifices for cherished causes. We studied willingness fight and die sacred using fMRI in Barcelona, Spain, among supporters a radical Islamist group. measured activity radicalized individuals they indicated their non-sacred values, reacted peers' ratings same...
To examine the use of autologous free dermal fat grafts (FDFGs) in reconstruction soft-tissue facial contour defects, an 8-year, retrospective, computerized medical chart review was conducted for 21 patients who underwent with FDFGs.Section Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Department Otolaryngology, Oregon Health Sciences University, Portland, or affiliated hospitals.Twenty-one identified were included retrospective evaluation. Follow-up periods ranged from 11 to 94 months. Five...
To determine the efficacy of topical anti-ischemic drug therapy in salvage failing, random-pattern skin flaps. Prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, therapeutic trial. Academic medical center. Sixty-one adult male Sprague-Dawley rats. Each experimental rat underwent a caudally based flap using modified McFarlane technique. Rats were randomized to 1 6 treatment groups: nifedipine, trolamine salicylate, nitroglycerin, salicylate-nitroglycerin combination, nifedipine-trolamine or inert...

Willingness to fight and die (WFD) has been developed as a measure capture willingness incur costly sacrifices for the sake of greater cause in context entrenched conflict. WFD measures have repeatedly used field studies, including studies on battlefield, although their neurofunctional correlates remain unexplored. Our aim was identify neural underpinnings WFD, focusing activity interconnectivity brain areas previously associated with value-based decision-making, such ventromedial prefrontal...
The nose contributes greatly to the facial aesthetic. Derangements in nasal cosmesis, whether from surgery, trauma, or natural causes, have a plethora of implications for emotional well-being individual. Rhinoplasty and revision rhinoplasty are both cosmetic operations that potentially profound cosmetic, therefore psychological, patient. Although many patients hopeful yet realistic surgical expectations, there is subset having underlying psychological disturbances may negatively affect...
Summary: The American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the Academy Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, Facial Reconstructive Surgery commissioned multidisciplinary Rhinoplasty Performance Measure Development Work Group to identify draft quality measures for care patients undergoing both functional aesthetic rhinoplasty. One outcome measure three process were identified. looked at patient satisfaction with rhinoplasty procedures. look motivations expectations procedure, airway assessment,...

Both deviation and excessive width of the nasal dorsum result in conspicuous facial disharmony are often attended by airway dysfunction. Whether developmental growth disturbances, trauma, failed surgery, or combinations therein, splaying can be exceedingly difficult to treat. Individualized treatment is paramount because contour variations seemingly endless, a careful preoperative assessment anatomic, physiologic, cosmetic, psychosocial factors that characterize deformity necessary devise an...
