Sense Of Urgency

Violence is increasingly being recognized as a major international public health problem, resulting in significant mortality and physical, sexual, reproductive and psychiatric morbidity. Proposed new mentalhealth legislation in England and Wales places greater emphasis on public protection, and this, together with the Government's programme for those deemed dangerous as a result of severe personality disorders, has created a new sense of urgency in understanding the mechanisms underlying aggression and violence.

Central Elements

Anxiety disorders (AD) are by far the most frequent psychiatric disorders, and according to epidemiologic data their chronicity, comorbidities, and negative prognostic constitute a public health problem. This is why it is necessary to continue exploring the factors which contribute to the incidence, appearance, and maintenance of this set of disorders. The goal of this study has been to analyze the possible relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and personality disorders (PersD) in outpatients suffering from AD. The sample was made up of 146 patients with AD from the Mental Health Center at the Health Consortium of Maresme, who were evaluated with the STAI, MSCEIT, and MCMI-II questionnaires. The main findings indicate that 89,4% of the patients in the sample met the criteria for the diagnosis of some PersD. The findings also confirm that patients with AD present a low EI, especially because of difficulties in the skills of emotional comprehension and regulation, and the lack of these skills is related to a higher level of anxiety and the presence of PersD. These findings suggest the need to consider emotional skills of EI and personality as central elements for the diagnosis and treatment of AD.

In Pregnancy

Malaria is still Public Health Problem in tropical country. Failure of Mefloquine – Artesunate combination treatment of uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum beginning to fail is due to the delayed clearance times and elevated Artesunate IC50, suggest thatArtesunate resistance may be emerging on background of Mefloquine resistance ( Rogers et al 2009). Pathogenesis of malaria in pregnancy is related to the ability of Plasmodium falciparum intra erythrocyte to sequester in the placenta. Study to understand the molecular basis of susceptibility to malaria in pregnancy has been advanced through the discovery of Chondroitin Sulfat A (CSA) molecule that support the accumulation of infected erythrocytes (IE) by Plasmodium falciparum in the placenta

Significant Mortality

Japanese encephalitis is a serious public health problem with significant mortality in children and old people. It occurs throughout much of Asia (43 000 cases worldwide per year). In recent years it has caused many epidemics in different parts of the country. In view of the high mortality and severe sequelae which often leaves behind highly dependent and disabled survivors, the disease is assuming great importance. A review of the pathogenesis, epidemiology, management and prevention together with changing perspectives in all these areas is presented.

Nachhaltige Entwicklung

Zusammenfassung. Kindesmisshandlung stellt einen bedeutenden Risikofaktor für die Entwicklung dar. Einzelne Formen von Kindesmisshandlung treten häufig nicht isoliert auf, sondern das gemeinsame Auftreten verschiedener Formen von Kindesmisshandlung stellt eher die Regel als die Ausnahme dar. Neben den langfristigen und vielfältigen individuellen Folgen führt Kindesmisshandlung jährlich zu einer hohen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Belastung. Die WHO hat Kindesmisshandlung als großes Public Health Problem identifiziert und die Vereinten Nationen haben den Kampf gegen Kindesmisshandlung zum Ziel in ihrer Agenda für nachhaltige Entwicklung gemacht. In dem vorliegenden Beitrag werden die Häufigkeit sowie das gemeinsame Auftreten unterschiedlicher Formen von Kindesmisshandlung sowie deren Assoziation mit psychischen und somatischen Folgen auf Basis einer bevölkerungsrepräsentativen Stichprobe untersucht und dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen den Zusammenhang zwischen der Kumulation verschiedener Formen von Misshandlung und negativen Folgen für die Betroffenen. So ist das Risiko für negative Konsequenzen beim Erleben von vier oder mehr Formen von Misshandlung um das bis zu 10-fache erhöht. Viel zu selten werden die kumulativen Effekte von mehreren Belastungen berücksichtigt. Gerade weil die Wirkweisen über die Misshandlung, die Gesundheit beeinflusst, zunehmend gut untersucht sind, muss dieses Wissen im Gesundheitswesen stärker bei der Konzeption von Präventions- und Interventionsmaßnahmen berücksichtigt werden.
