Certificates of 408 deaths listing multiple sclerosis as cause were analyzed for co-existence of suicide and fatal accidents. Four suicides occurred, all in females, ages 30 to 49. Four of an additional six accidental deaths were related to heat, smoke, burns or fire. In addition to identifying the high risk group, hypothetical correlations between neurological symptoms in MS and life-threatening behaviors were drawn as a prediction schema for suicidal behavior in other neurologic diseases.

Key Questions

Convergent developments across social scientific disciplines provide evidence that rituals are a psychologically prepared and culturally inherited behavioural hallmark of our species. The dramatic diversity of ritual practices ranges from simple greetings to elaborate religious ceremonies, from the benign to life-threatening. Yet our scientific understanding of this core human trait remains limited. Explaining the universality, functionality and diversity of ritual requires insight from multiple disciplines. This special issue integrates research from anthropology, archaeology, biology, primatology, cognitive science, psychology, religious studies and demography to build an interdisciplinary account of ritual. The objective is to contribute to an integrative explanation of ritual by addressing Tinbergen's four key questions. These include answering ultimate questions about the (i) phylogeny and (ii) adaptive functions of ritual; and proximate questions about the (iii) mechanisms and (iv) ontogeny of ritual. The intersection of these four complementary lines of inquiry yields new avenues for theory and research into this fundamental aspect of the human condition, and in so doing, into the coevolution of cognition and culture. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Ritual renaissance: new insights into the most human of behaviours’.

Hypertension is a life-threatening disease that is associated with increased cardiovascular risks. Causes and mechanisms for hypertension development remain poorly understood. Methylglyoxal (MG), a highly reactive molecule, is a metabolite of sugar. Increased circulation and tissue levels of MG have been documented not only in diabetes but also in hypertension. Many recent studies also link MG-induced vascular damage to the pathogenic process of hypertension. As such, an etiological role of MG in hypertension development is proposed.

New Strategies

Sepsis represents a major global health concern and is one of the most feared complications for hospitalized patients, being the cause, directly or indirectly, of about half of all hospital deaths. According to the last definition, sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection and defined septic shock as a subset of sepsis in which underlying circulatory and cellular/metabolic abnormalities are profound enough to significantly increase mortality. Sepsis is a time-dependent disease and requires a prompt recognition and a standardized treatment. The Special Issue “New Strategies for Treatment of Sepsis” has been thought to connect the experience of physicians involved in the diagnosis, management, and treatment of sepsis at every stage of disease, from emergency departments to general and intensive wards. The focus will be pointed on new approaches to this syndrome, such as early recognition based on clinical features and biomarkers, management in non-ICUs, non-invasive treatment strategies, including non-antimicrobial agents, and, of course, invasive approaches. This Special Issue will highlight the many different facets of sepsis, seen through the eyes of different specialists. We hope to spread the knowledge of a new blueprint for treatment.

Sepsis is life-threatening condition caused by bacteria. Sepsis patient usually treated in ICU with antibiotic as treatment.Irrationally antibiotic usage can lead to antibiotics resistance which increased morbidity and mortality This studyaimed to know the characteristic of sepsis patients, specimen identification, bacteria analysis, and antibiotic resistanceof sepsis patient in Intensive Care Unit (ICU). The source of data were from medical record including age, gender,culture specimen, bacteria culture test and result of antibiotic resistance test. Result showed that27 of samples, therewere 51,85% male and 48,15% female patient with most common age group was >65 years old (25,93%). Total amountof specimen that had pathogenic bacteria was 37, (67,57% sputum cultures and 18,92% blood cultures). 37 of samplesfound to be gram negative bacteria and highest number was A.baumanii (37,85%). Antibiotic resistance test showedthat sepsis-causing bacteria has highest resistance to ampicillin (100%) and most sensitive to amikacin (72,98%) andtigecyclin (51,36%).

Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, produce a variety of toxins, some of which have been implicated in the pathogenesis of severe and potentially life-threatening diseases in humans. As the growth of cyanobacteria within freshwater lakes increases worldwide, it is important to review our present understanding of their toxicity and potential carcinogenicity to gain insight into how these organisms impact human health. This review addresses each of these topics, with special emphasis given to cyanobacterial hepatotoxins within freshwater environments.
