Background: Mesenteric ischemia is a life-threatening condition with a complex etiology and diagnostics. Objective: Etiology, incidence, symptoms, and diagnostics of acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia. Material and methods: Literature search via PubMed with a focus on studies on the epidemiology and diagnostics of mesenteric ischemia and analysis of existing international guidelines. Results: The incidence of acute mesenteric ischemia is given as 0.63–12.9 per 100,000 people per year. There are no sufficiently reliable figures for chronic mesenteric ischemia, but an incidence of up to 3 per 100,000 inhabitants per year is generally assumed. The three-phase computed tomography has the highest diagnostic specificity and sensitivity. Conclusion: In the presence of risk factors acute and chronic mesenteric ischemia should be considered as differential diagnoses in the presence of abdominal pain using three-phase computed tomography.

For Freud, inhibition, defined as defence, is inseparable from the ego, which acts as a barrier to jouissance. On the other hand, inhibition as a symptom is the effect of repression. In both cases, it protects us from a confrontation with anxiety. Lacan locates this anxiety at the very locus of desire, so he rearticulates inhibition in terms of unconscious desire as a defence and the act as a suspension of movement. As the tragedy of Hamlet shows, inhibition as a blockage to the act is linked to a desire against another desire. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Les distorsions cognitives sont des processus mentaux qui agissent sur l'individu et qui régissent en partie son rapport au monde. Elles s'installent de manière très précoce et dépendent directement des premières expériences de vie desquelles un apprentissage implicite sur le monde et sur soi va avoir lieu. Ces apprentissages sont personnels et biaisés. De ces derniers vont dépendre les filtres cognitifs que l'individu va renforcer à la manière d'un cercle vicieux. Les informations sélectionnées dépendent de ces filtres, et les processus de traitement de ces informations vont dépendre des distorsions du sujet. Ces processus mentaux se retrouvent chez tout un chacun ; néanmoins, certaines populations présentent des spécificités de par leur expérience de vie. C'est le cas des patients ayant une symptomatologie anxio-dépressive, des victimes ou des personnes souffrant de Trouble Stress Post-Traumatique. À la lumière des différentes approches thérapeutiques et des différents traitements qui sont accordés à la dimension cognitive, nous proposons une modélisation sous forme de syllogisme du mode de penser le monde et de s'y confronter des patients ayant un statut de victime. Deux vignettes cliniques permettent d'illustrer cette modélisation. Cette dernière s'enracine dans la philosophie, la psychopathologie cognitive, mais se veut transthéorique et peut être utilisée, peu importe l'obédience du thérapeute. Cognitive distortions are mental processes that affect individuals and partially govern their relationship with the world. They manifest themselves at a very early age and are directly influenced by an individual's early life experiences, from which implicit learning about the world and oneself occurs. This acquisition is personal and biased, leading to the formation of cognitive filters that individuals reinforce in a self-perpetuating cycle. The information selected depends on these filters, and the processing of this information depends on the subject's distortions. These mental processes are present in everyone; however, certain populations, such as individuals with anxiety or depressive symptoms, victims, or those with post-traumatic stress disorder, exhibit specificities based on their life experiences. In light of the various therapeutic approaches and treatments related to the cognitive dimension, we propose a syllogistic model for understanding how victims from different social backgrounds and with a victim status perceive and confront the world. Two clinical vignettes are provided to illustrate this model. This approach is rooted in philosophy and cognitive psychopathology but is intended to be trans-theoretical and applicable regardless of the therapist's orientation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Based on the assumption that with Descartes the question that underlies the constitution of modernity is what the subject would be, this text proposes to explore developments on this issue with Alain Badiou's theorizations as a reference and some basic concepts that we learn to read in psychoanalysis. He tries to demonstrate the impasses that we find when we try to establish formalizations about the subject, impasses that would be in the constitution of modern humans. It also works on the intersections and implications of these paradoxical formalizations with concepts equally dear to psychoanalysis such as symptom, body, and truth, as well as resonances that we could unfold between the formal typology of the subject proposed by Badiou and formalizations on this theme that we could infer from reading the works by Freud and Lacan.

This article argues that the operational-pragmatic search for greater diagnostic reliability must consider the role played by language in psychopathological conceptualization. When conceptualizing psychopathological symptoms, the emphasis must shift from experience to reporting, which requires explicitly considering a semantics -- that is, a theory of meaning -- only presupposed. This shift in emphasis influences our understanding of the nature of the psychopathological symptom. In conclusion, stipulating sufficiency criteria for psychopathological diagnosis favors an increase in reliability in detriment of the clinical consideration of borderline cases, formally narrowing the clinical approach to psychopathology based on pragmatic operationalism.

The article offers recommendations for returning to sporting activities for both adults and adolescents after the COVID-19 pandemic, and therefore depend on the severity of the course of the disease. It mentions fulminant myocarditis caused by SARS-CoV2 infection is very rare overall and milder forms are therefore the exception with the cases, and and the impossibility of comprehensive cardiological screening of all those who have recovered from COVID-19 who do sports made the experts rethink.

Integrating nursing science (NS) into care practices is a path to consider for nurses. It enables them to rethink their clinical posture by observing and analyzing health-care situations in their entirety. In this way, nurses are guided by benchmarks that enable them to bring their therapeutic perspective to bear on care recipients. The aim of this article is to highlight and promote the mobilization of NS theories in practice. The art of nursing, supported by scientific reflection, is then meaningful and makes it possible to promote the autonomous role as an art of nursing derived from science. This vision of care will be approached through the practice of care centered on needs, comfort and symptoms, in order to re-illuminate it in the light of a selection of theories from the nursing discipline., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

We estimated the incidence of COVID-19-compatible symptoms, COVID-19 testing, and GP consultations during the first lockdown period in Switzerland (March–April 2020). A representative sample of the adult Swiss population completed an online survey. Of the 1022 respondents, 74 % reported at least one symptom, 5 % were tested for COVID-19, and 8 % contacted their GP regarding COVID-19. Testing was significantly associated with reduced sense of taste/smell, fever, cough with expectoration, and fatigue. Respondents at risk for severe COVID-19 were less likely to be tested but were five times more likely to contact their GP than those not at risk. We highlight the need to involve the appropriate health care setting to reach the vulnerable population when testing capacities are restricted (e.g. GPs). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

From the original correlation in psychoanalysis between body and symptom, this paper reviews the theoretical displacement processes in Lacan's work which demonstrate and inoculate the role of jouissance in this correlation. Therefore, a problematization between body, jouissance, and symptom is opened and developed primarily through the elaborations operated in the field of jouissance. These elaborations, associated with a logical reduction of the Other (A) and the changes in the conception of the structure of language, which extend beyond the logic of the phallic significance and the Name-of-the-Father, and towards the real, determine a renewal of the problematic, thus displacing these three concepts to new configurations, as corpse, jouissance, and sinthome. The centrality of the real and all the displacements in the elaboration of the body and the symptom are inevitably founded and modified by the movements of the work, regarding the confrontation between the field of language and its possibilities and impossibilities of inscription and registration of the real of the jouissance by the letter. The dimension of the real gains here another position and radicalization of its effects in the psychoanalytic clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Le diagnostic du trouble de personnalité limite (TPL) à l'adolescence est sujet de controverse chez certains chercheurs et cliniciens. Pour plusieurs, les symptômes présentés chez les jeunes ayant un TPL ressemblent au fonctionnement normal à l'adolescence. Le diagnostic est alors retardé à l'âge adulte, décalant la mise en place d'un traitement. L'objectif de cette recension systématique est d'examiner les symptômes permettant la différenciation d'une population adolescente avec un TPL de celles ayant un autre diagnostic ou non psychiatrisée. En tout, 17 études sur les 4789 titres initialement identifiés rencontrent les critères d'inclusion et sont analysées. Cette recension systématique considère plusieurs symptômes diversifiés : troubles internalisés et externalisés, suicide, erreurs de mentalisation, schémas mésadaptés et diagnostics comorbides. Plusieurs symptômes distinguant de façon statistiquement significative les adolescents avec un TPL ont pu être observés en les comparant à trois groupes contrôles : les adolescents non psychiatrisés, ceux avec un autre trouble de personnalité et ceux ayant un autre diagnostic. Finalement, un patron de symptômes a pu également être observé entre les adolescents suicidaires ayant un TPL et ceux sans ce diagnostic. The diagnosis of borderline personality disorder (BPD) in adolescence is controversial among some researchers and clinicians. For many, the symptoms presented in young people with BPD resemble normal functioning in adolescence. The diagnosis is then delayed in adulthood, postponing the treatment. The aim of this systematic review of the literature is to investigate the symptoms that can differentiate an adolescent population with BPD from one with another diagnosis and/or without any psychiatric issues. In all, 17 studies out of the 4789 titles initially identified met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. This systematic review considers diverse symptoms: internalized and externalized disorders, suicide, mentalization errors, maladaptive schemas and comorbid diagnoses. Several symptoms significantly differentiated adolescents with BPD from three control groups teenagers: non-psychiatric, with another personality disorder and with another diagnosis. Finally, a pattern of symptoms could also be observed between suicidal adolescents with BPD and suicidal youth without it. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering the dissolution of modern traditional values and the particularities of the subjective configurations engendered in Contemporary, this article proposes a theoretical reflection based on the resumption of the Lacanian psychoanalytic path concerning the formulation of the imaginary register, highlighting its link with violence and its consequences in the body. Therefore, the essential character of the mirror stage in the formation of the Self is covered, the conflicting and intrinsic relationship with the other, the theoretical distinctions between aggression and violence, the foundations of the body with which Psychoanalysis operates, and its understanding as an outcome symptomatic favored by the act. Finally, the resources that the psychoanalytic clinic can offer in this situation are outlined. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Das schwere akute respiratorische Syndrom Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) ist der Erreger der pandemischen Erkrankung COVID-19, für die nach mehr als einem Jahr erkennbar ist, dass nach einer überstandenen akuten Erkrankung andauernde Symptome existieren können. Als post-akutes COVID-19 werden das Anhalten klinischer Symptome und/oder das Auftreten langfristiger Komplikationen über 4 Wochen nach der akut symptomatischen Krankheitsphase hinaus definiert. Aussagen über die Prävalenz sind vorläufig und abhängig vom Betrachtungszeitraum und untersuchter Bevölkerungsgruppe. In der Allgemeinbevölkerung wird das Auftreten derzeit mit einem Anteil von 15-30% der Infizierten angegeben. Die angegebenen Symptome lassen sich einer Vielzahl von Organsystemen zuordnen und weisen, was Anzahl, Dauer und Schweregrad anbelangt, teilweise große, interindividuelle Unterschiede auf. Die Ursachen für die subakute und chronische Manifestation der Symptome sind noch ungeklärt und verschiedene Mechanismen, wie funktionelle Einschränkungen multipler Organsysteme durch Gewebeschädigung sowie eine postivirale Autoimmunität werden diskutiert. Cluster aus möglichen individuellen Risikofaktoren, wie Alter und Geschlecht, kombiniert mit den Symptomen in der Akutphase zeigen sich am vielversprechendsten, um die Entwicklung von post-akutem COVID-19 zu prognostizieren. Ziel des Scoping Reviews ist es, andauernde Symptome und mögliche Ursachen für post-akutes COVID-19 ("long-COVID") zusammenzufassen und wesentliche Aspekte für ein post-akutes COVID-19-Management zur Wiedererlangung der körperlichen Leistungsfähigkeit evidenzbasiert einzuordnen. The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the causative virus for the pandemic coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). After more than one year it becomes apparent that for some patients the acute symptoms can persist for several months. Post-acute COVID-19 is defined as the persistence of symptoms and/or long-term complications beyond 4 weeks from the onset of the acute symptoms. Even though the evidence is preliminary, the prevalence in the general population is reported to range from 15 to 30%. The symptoms can be assigned to numerous organ systems and are described as very heterogenous with regards to their number, duration and severity. To this day it is not exactly known what causes the subacute and chronic manifestation of acute COVID-19. The treatment should be guided by the individual symptoms of the patients. To prevent setbacks, it is recommended to plan and monitor physical activity carefully. Athletes returning to sports with or recovered from post-acute COVID-19 require a thorough physical examination and a stepwise increase of training load to prevent long-term organ damage and a reduction in physical capacity. The aim of the scoping review is to summarize ongoing symptoms and possible causes for post-acute COVID-19 ("long-COVID") and to classify essential aspects for post-acute COVID-19 management to regain physical fitness on the basis of current evidence.

The treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) from a psychoanalytic perspective entails the questioning of the approach guided by pharmacology and the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) to introduce a clinical standpoint where the subject and their symptom are treated otherwise. In this case, psychoanalytic therapy offers the option of the word, the game, and other strategies for the treatment of children, where the symbolic becomes valuable since it is the privileged way to producing therapeutic effects. The direction of the treatment is applied here without attempting to normalize; nevertheless, because of the singularity of the symptom, it is possible to decipher it, regulate the drive overflow, and offer a necessary mooring for the subject.

Taken from interviews with men having been incarcerated on the charge of criminal association with the intent of committing or aiding and abetting to terrorist acts, the central question of this article has thus emerged: which part does Islamist radicalization play on the psychic level of the self? Therefore, we have selected several theorical concepts, to guide us in this research, that became operative concepts, such as hatred, drive, melancholy and symptom. These have a converging point that is linked with the clinic of boredom and emptiness, or named otherwise, "off language". The radicalization process seems to come as a way to fill this emptiness, and hence to avoid the risk of the collapsing of the self. However, this "solution" is only a lure, leading to destruction, while at the same time, the person is aiming to restore its identity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Many patients wish to receive end-of-life care at home. Liberal professionals are necessarily called upon to help in these situations. The issues most frequently raised are the management of specific symptoms, lack of knowledge of palliative care support structures, and a feeling of isolation among caregivers., (Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Masson SAS.

In this article we will develop the conception of psychoanalysis as symptom in the framework of capitalist advance, especially aggravated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The ideology governed by capital is located at the antipodes of that sustained by the ethics of desire. Psychoanalysis counts on the uprising of the symptom, which in its formal symbolic envelope veils a Real, irreducible to mercantile logic. This generates a tension with the teleological perspectives of history, outlined in the question of the scope of capitalist discourse, the one that Lacan destined to explode. The symptom is presented as an alternative to the imperatives of the time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

At the end of the last century, the "new symptoms" appeared on the theoretical scene of psychoanalysis warning about a certain resistance to the "dialectical openness" that psychoanalysis has always recognized to any symptomatic formation. Now, it is worthwhile, in the era of the empire of neuroscience, to rescue the meaning and scope of the Freudian symptom, one of whose most important functions - the one that is emphasized - in this article, is its value as an objection to the prevailing discourse. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to review the concepts that make possible the clinical and ethical actions of those who are guided by the psychoanalytic theory. Freudian and Lacanian postulates are articu lated in parallel to, in the end, make a proposal that guides the analyst when facing the difficult everyday nature of the patient's demand during the consultation. The concepts of jouissance, symptom, Lustprinzip (pleasure principle), Jenseits des Lustprinzips (beyond the pleasure principle), Erinnern (remembering), Wiederholen (repeating), and Durcharbeiten (working-through) are addressed in a way that indicates a field of study for subsequent works.

L'approche phénoménologique peut être un outil de travail complémentaire à une approche psychiatrique classique ainsi qu'à une approche neuro-biologique dans le repérage des symptômes précurseurs de l'entrée d'un sujet dans le spectre de la schizophrénie. Nous présentons le cas clinique d'Ellen et proposons une analyse psychopathologique de sa symptomatologie à l'aide du modèle « ipseity, hyperreflexivity », élaboré par L. Sass et par J. Parnass, tout en nous appuyant — entre autres, pour étudier le vécu corporel — sur les travaux de M. Merleau-Ponty et de G. Stanghellini. La phénoménologie apprend à analyser l'épaisseur des vécus d'un sujet en tant qu'expression de la modalité de son être-au-monde. Cette approche psychopathologique, centrée sur la rencontre avec des formes d'existence, permet de saisir les premières déformations de l'expérience subjective, qui sont l'indice d'une vulnérabilité psychotique, avant la constitution de symptômes psychiatriques avérés. Dans le cas d'Ellen, nous essayons d'élucider l'expérience des altérations du vécu du corps propre et de montrer que la phénoménologie enseigne à utiliser l'observation clinique comme un travail de reconstruction du sens ce qui est d'emblée un geste psychothérapeutique. Les anomalies de l'expérience subjective, que la phénoménologie permet de saisir avec une finesse sémiologique, pourraient se révéler un levier pour développer la recherche dans ce domaine de la santé mentale et de réhabiliter le corps dans la clinique psychiatrique. La psychopathologie phénoménologique suggère des perspectives de recherche novatrices dans le domaine de la santé mentale et dans la compréhension de la schizophrénie. The phenomenological approach may be used as a complementary tool, alongside a traditional psychiatric approach and a neurobiological approach, in order to identify the symptoms that precede schizophrenia. Ellen's clinical case will be presented. Her symptomatology will be analyzed following the "ipseity, hyperreflexivity" model, as elaborated by L. Sass and J. Parnass. M. Merleau-Ponty's and G. Stanghellini's works will also be used, inter alia , to study Ellen's bodily experience. Phenomenology analyzes the depth of a subject's life experience as the expression of his/her Dasein or "existence". Through this psychopathological approach, focused on meeting other forms of existence, one can comprehend the first deformations of subjective experience; these indicate a vulnerability to psychosis that may precede actual psychiatric symptoms. This paper aims at explaining the alterations of Ellen's bodily experience, and at showing that phenomenology teaches how to use clinical observation as a reconstructive work of meaning – which is, already, a psychotherapeutic act. The anomalies of subjective experience, which can be semiologically comprehended through a phenomenological approach, might prove to be a stimulus for the development of mental health research, as well as for the rehabilitation of the body in psychiatric care. Phenomenological psychopathology opens up new research opportunities in the field of mental health and in the understanding of schizophrenia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article discusses the effects of the pandemic on clinical work and proposes a preliminary research based on the fundamentals of the psychoanalytic clinic. Its questions focus on two points: on the one hand, the social bond of the discourses and on the other hand, the symptomatic formations that have resulted from the event. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In many of those affected, bronchial asthma with or without therapy leads to fairly significant nocturnal symptoms, which indicate a decline in control of the illness and sleep quality. There are many causes of the symptoms. Changes in lung function, heightened nocturnal hyperresponsiveness, cellular transmitter and inflammatory and hormonal processes, but environmental impacts and frequently coexisting diseases have also been identified as causes. Significant connections exist, particularly between bronchial asthma and nocturnal gastroesophageal reflux, obesity, and obstructive sleep apnea syndrome. With regard to guideline-compliant asthma therapy, the symptoms should be examined more closely in order to achieve control of the asthma with targeted treatment. Preventive measures such as avoidance of allergens in the evening and at night should also be considered. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
