Clinical case of combined correction of children's psychotraumatic experience and distress in the development of cancer by K. A. Blinova, E. V. Pchelintseva, N. P. Lapochkina

“…It is shown that the psychotherapeutic techniques used in the framework of the adapted diathesis-stress model (psychosynthesis, short-term analytical psychodrama, cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy) allow us to determine a behavior strategy in overcoming the traumatic situation that occurred in the early stages of childhood, in order to form the skills of the correct expression of our emotions, avoiding this deconstructive "coping" – strategy.…”

Treadmill belt accelerations may not accurately replicate kinematic responses to tripping on an obstacle in older people. by Dayeon C Jung, Daina L Sturnieks, Kirsty A McDonald, Patrick Y H Song, Michael K Davis, Stephen R Lord, Yoshiro Okubo

“…MoS was similar during the first recovery step (P>0.05) but less negative during subsequent recovery steps following treadmill belt accelerations than walkway trips (P<0.01) regardless of recovery strategy. Excluding the first recovery step in the lowering strategy, recovery step lengths, toe clearance, maximum trunk, hip and knee angles (P<0.05) were smaller during recovery on the treadmill compared to the walkway.…”

Increasing survival time decreases the cost-effectiveness of using &quot;test &amp; treat to eliminate HIV epidemics by Bradley G. Wagner, Brian J. Coburn, Sally Blower

“…., universal ``test &amp; treat'') could lead to HIV elimination and would be extremely cost-effective.It is now being debated whether to use a universal ``test and treat'' approach in the ``real-world'' as a prevention strategy to control HIV epidemics.However current modeling predictions of the impact, and cost-effectiveness, of universal ``test &amp; treat'' strategies are based on an unrealistically short survival time for treated individuals.Here we use mathematical modeling and a longer, more realistic, survival time.We model the potential impact of a universal ``test &amp; treat'' strategy in South Africa.Our results show that increasing the length of the survival time on treatment, although beneficial to individuals, reduces the probability of eliminating HIV and decreases the cost-effectiveness of using universal ``test &amp; treat'' strategies.Therefore our results show that individual-level benefits and public health benefits will conflict when using ``test &amp; treat'' strategies to reduce HIV transmission.…”
