Review Psychodynamic Treatment of Depression / American Psychiatric Publishing, Inc.:The advent of multiple effective psychopharmacologic interventions and targeted psychotherapeutic treatments has led to remarkable progress in the treatment of depression. Yet despite this progress, the treatment of depression often continues to be a struggle. Psychodynamic psychotherapy—often used in combination with cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, or medication treatments—is one approach to reducing the neurophysiological and psychological vulnerabilities that may predispose patients to persistent symptoms or recurrence of depression. Though books on other treatment approaches to depression abound, this insightful volume is unique because it offers a psychotherapeutic approach to the dynamics observed in patients with depression that can sharpen clinicians' skills in treating this disorder. Intended for use by students, residents, or clinicians who are trained in the practice of psychotherapy and in the diagnosis of depression, the book describes how to tailor the psychodynamic psychotherapeutic approach to the treatment of patients with depression. The authors use many vivid clinical case vignettes based on their clinical work to illustrate common dynamic constellations and techniques for engaging patients in depression-focused psychodynamic psychotherapy. Because a major disparity exists between the widespread use of psychodynamic psychotherapy in clinical practice and the few systematic studies of this treatment, the authors recommend using this approach mainly in patients with mild or moderate major depression and dysthymic disorder. Using a structure that facilitates learning how to apply psychodynamic psychotherapy, the authors Begin with an introduction placing psychodynamic psychotherapy within the context of current treatments for depression, including indications and contraindications highlighted by two case vignettes. Review psychoanalytic theories and research on depression to develop a core set of depressive dynamics. Focus on the techniques of psychodynamic psychotherapy as they specifically apply to treating patients with depression. [+]Highlight techniques to help patients recognize their vulnerability to the dynamics that form the core of the depressive experience, and illustrate how to work with these dynamics to help patients better manage their vulnerability. Address topics of special concern in the psychotherapy of depression, including complex cases, treatment impasses, suicidality, and issues to consider when combining treatments. Useful for practitioners, students, and residents as a clinical guide for learning about psychodynamic psychotherapy and its adaptation for treatment of a specific disorder, this practical volume, with its fascinating clinical case vignettes, is also an invaluable text for courses on psychodynamic psychotherapy and psychotherapeutic treatment approaches to depression.

Review Chromium, Nickel and Welding (IARC Monographs on the Evaluation of the Carcinogenic Risks to Humans) / World Health Organization:Evaluates the carcinogenic risk to humans posed by industrial exposure to chromium and its compounds; nickel and its compounds; and welding fumes and gases. Occupational exposures, principally by inhalation, are noted to affect about three million workers worldwide. The first and most extensive monograph evaluates the carcinogenicity of chromium and its compounds. The monograph is divided into subsections based on the oxidation state and solubility of the compounds, with separate evaluations made for metallic chromium, chromium [III] compounds, chromium [VI] compounds, and for a fourth group of tested agents that were of mixed or unknown oxidation states. The most extensive sections evaluate the design and findings of over 500 investigations of carcinogenicity in animals and experimental systems, studies of metabolic fate in animals and humans, and case reports and epidemiological studies in human populations. On the basis of this evaluation, the monograph concludes that chromium [VI] is carcinogenic to humans. The carcinogenicity of chromium [III] and of metallic chromium could not be determined on the basis of available evidence. The second monograph presents similar information for metallic nickel and nickel alloys, nickel oxides, and hydroxides, nickel sulfides, nickel salts, and other nickel compounds. Nickel carbonyl is identified as the most acutely toxic nickel compound, causing severe damage to the respiratory system in experimental animals and in humans. The evaluation concludes that nickel compounds are carcinogenic to humans and that metallic nickel is possibly carcinogenic to humans. [+]The final monograph evaluates the carcinogenic risk posed by exposure to welding gases and fumes. On the basis of evidence from human and animal studies, welding fumes are classified as possibly carcinogenic to humans.

Review Sports Injuries and Their Effects on Health / Nova Science Pub Inc:The term sports injury, in the broadest sense, refers to the kinds of injuries that most commonly occur during sports or exercise. Some sports injuries result from accidents; others are due to poor training practices, improper equipment, lack of conditioning, or insufficient warm-up and stretching. Although virtually any part of your body can be injured during sports or exercise, the term is usually reserved for injuries that involve the musculoskeletal system, which includes the muscles, bones, and associated tissues like cartilage. In recent years, increasing numbers of people of all ages have been heeding their health professionals' advice to get active for all of the health benefits exercise has to offer. But for some people, particularly those who overdo or who don't properly train or warm up, these benefits can come at a price. Fortunately, most sports injuries can be treated effectively, and most people who suffer injuries can return to a satisfying level of physical activity after an injury. Even better, many sports injuries can be prevented if people take the proper precautions. This book discusses some of the most common injuries and their treatment and answers frequently asked questions about sports injuries and injury prevention.
