Risk Patients

Venous aneurysms are uncommon but they can have devastating consequences, including pulmonary embolism, other thromboembolic events and death. We report six cases of venous aneurysm of the extremities, in which the first sign of presence was acute pulmonary embolism. Surgical resection is recommended whenever possible. Our experience suggests that prophylactic surgery is cautiously recommended for low-risk patients with venous aneurysms of the abdomen and strongly recommended for extremity deep and superficial venous aneurysms for their potential risk of developing thromboembolic complications despite adequate anticoagulation. Other venous aneurysms should be excised only if they are symptomatic or enlarging.

Analyse Morphométrique

Les effets morphologiques et fonctionnels de la revascularisation transmyocardique au laser (RTML) sont analysés en conditions aiguës sur un modèle porcin. La paroi latérale du ventricule gauche de 15 porcs (poids moyen: 73 +/- 4kg) a été percée de 10 canaux laser (laser: Ho-YAG; longueur d'onde: 2.1 u, diamètre de la sonde: 1.75 mm). Une échocardiographie a été effectuée avant, ainsi que 5 min et 30 min après la procédure. Les paramètres échocardiographiques ont été enregistrés en court axe à la hauteur des canaux laser. Ils comprenaient la fraction d'éjection, la fraction de raccourcissement et la motilité segmentaire de la région lasérisée (échelle de 0 à 3: 0 = normal, 1 = hypokinésie, 2 = akinésie, 3 = dyskinésie). Après sacrifice de l'animal, la région lasérisée a été coupée dans un plan perpendiculaire aux canaux pour histologie et analyse morphométrique. Après 5 min, tous les index échocardiographiques ont montré une aggravation significative par rapport aux valeurs de base (p < 0.01). Après 30 min, plus aucun des paramètres ne présentait de variation significative par rapport aux valeurs de base. La surface de section des lésions mesurait 8.8 +/- 2.4 mm2 soit plus du triple de celle de la sonde laser elle-même (p < 0.01). En conditions aiguës, les lésions dues à la sonde de RTML sont nettement plus grande que la sonde elle-même et entraînent une baisse transitoire de la contractilité segmentaire sur un coeur sain. Ces résultats suggèrent que la RTML doit être utilisée avec prudence en clinique chez les patients avec une mauvaise fonction ventriculaire.

Abstract. Research shows that engagement in leisure activities promotes well-being among older adults. The objective of the current study was to examine the relationship between subjective well-being (flourishing) and leisure activities (total number of different activities in the previous year) in a sample of older adults in Croatia, thereby considering the variables of sex, marital status, financial status, and self-perceived health. The differences in the examined variables between the groups of older adults who reported to be engaged in new activities with those who did not were also examined. The sample of N = 169 older adults aged 60 years and above was drawn from a convenience sample of adult internet users in Croatia. Participants reported their self-perceived health and the number of leisure activities they engaged in over the previous year as well as completing the Flourishing Scale. Hierarchical regression analyses indicated that older adults who were engaged in more various leisure activities, who perceived better financial status, and who were married reported higher levels of flourishing. A comparison of the two groups of older adults with and without engagement in leisure activities showed that those engaged in at least one leisure activity were more likely to be women, reported higher levels of flourishing, and perceived their own financial status as better. This study indicated that engaging in leisure activities in later life might provide beneficial effects for the well-being of older adults.

Client Communication

Both psychotherapists and their clients have mental representations of old age and the aging process. In this conceptual review, we draw on available research from gerontology, social and developmental psychology, and communication science to consider how these “images of aging” may affect the psychotherapeutic process with older clients. On the basis of selected empirical findings we hypothesize that such images may affect the pathways to psychotherapy in later life, therapist-client communication, client performance on diagnostic tests as well as how therapists select and apply a therapeutic method. We posit that interventions to help both older clients and therapists to reflect on their own images of aging may increase the likelihood of successful treatment. We conclude by making suggestions for future research.

Psychiatric Study

Summary: Older adults consistently have the highest rates of suicide in most societies. Despite the paucity of studies until recently, research has shown that suicides in later life are best understood as a multidimensional event. An especially neglected area of research is the psychological/psychiatric study of personality factors in the event. This paper outlines one comprehensive model of suicide and then raises the question: Is such a psychiatric/psychological theory applicable to all suicides in the elderly? To address the question, I discuss the case of Sigmund Freud; raise the topic of suicide and/or dignified death in the terminally ill; and examine suicide notes of the both terminally ill and nonterminally ill elderly. I conclude that, indeed, greater study and theory building are needed into the “suicides” of the elderly, including those who are terminally ill.

Abstract. Negative life events associated with deliberate self-harm (DSH) were investigated in an African context in Uganda. Patients admitted at three general hospitals in Kampala, Uganda were interviewed using a Luganda version (predominant language in the study area) of the European Parasuicide Study Interview Schedule I. The results of the life events and histories module are reported in this paper. The categories of negative life events in childhood that were significantly associated with DSH included those related to parents, significant others, personal events, and the total negative life events load in childhood. For the later-life time period, the negative life events load in the partner category and the total negative life events in this time period were associated with DSH. In the last-year time period, the negative life events load related to personal events and the total number of negative life events in this time period were associated with DSH. A statistically significant difference between the cases and controls for the total number of negative life events reported over the entire lifetime of the respondents was also observed, which suggests a dose effect of negative life events on DSH. Gender differences were also observed among the cases. In conclusion, life events appear to be an important factor in DSH in this cultural environment. The implication of these results for treatment and the future development of suicide interventions in this country are discussed.
