The blood on Mikey's hands. An analysis of the veracity of Senju's testimony and ch 263

Blessed Jesus Christ, Wakui never tires of playing with us 😩 Well, this is a little analysis of Senju's testimony regarding the plane crash from the perspective of the Psychology of Testimony + some views about ch 263

Disclaimer: I'm not an expert on the subject, but the information contained herein is true. My intention is not to give a definitive explanation, but rather an analysis through the application of the criteria of the psychology of testimony, a branch of psychology that today is used to analyze testimonies of crimes and that tries to make aware both policemen and judges that testimonies are something completely complex and complicated, influenced by many factors. Finally, let us remember that both psychology and psychiatry, as well as the social sciences, say that the human being is not determined, but rather conditioned.

At the end of almost each section of explanations is the comparison with the manga. Annotations about the manga in the explanation text are in pink

Enjoy! <3

First of all, what is the psychology of testimony?

The psychology of testimony applies knowledge about the basic psychological processes of attention, perception, memory and related processes to obtain and assess testimonial evidence.

The topics covered are:

Factors that influence the accuracy of the testimonies, which can affect the process of encoding, storage and retrieval of the memory.

Procedures for obtaining declarations that allow the greatest possible amount of accurate information to be obtained, without negative influences. We'll later talk about the procedure that Senju uses

Evaluation of the credibility of the testimony, which represents a traditional demand by Law and Psychology (develop methods of detecting false testimony)

Identification tests, carried out by witnesses to assess accuracy, with two objectives: to avoid or minimize some mistakes they make; and properly assess the performance of witnesses.

The Psychology of Testimony integrates the field of investigation of the memory of witnesses, in which two fundamental terms stand out: accuracy and credibility.

Accuracy: the objective is to see if the witness is accurate and if his testimony is consistent with reality.

Credibility: if what the witness says is believed to be what really happened. In the judicial field, both the accuracy and the credibility attributed to the witness' statement are essential. Analyzing the degree of credibility attributed to the witness' statement is important, for example, in the case of honest and dishonest witnesses. So credibility is an inference, a subjective estimate of the estimated accuracy of a witness's statements.

It involves exploring two aspects:

The motivation that the informant may have to lie. Senju would apparently have no motivation to lie.

if he doesn't appear to be lying and that what he says is worth taking into account, how accurate can his statement be with respect to what actually happened? We need to see more about how memory works. This will be explained in next point

In this sense, a testimony can be reliable and accurate, but there are other important characteristics, such as:

Little disclaimer!: I've used the accident as an example for this definitions. Some things are invented to show it better!!🚫

Richness of the testimony: “I remember that it was summer, that Baji was wearing a black t-shirt and I was dressed in white; Haruchiyo still had short hair; they were in the garden, which has a shed in the back, and to one side there was a small fountain where there were birds playing. It was hot, that's why we were all wearing short sleeves, and our older brothers were inside drinking beers and smoking on a colored checkered chair”

Usefulness of the testimony: “Haruchiyo said it wasn't his fault. Then, Mikey attacked him."

Analysis of the manga at this point

We must ask ourselves, can Senju have any motivation to lie? Keep in mind that neither this arc nor the manga are finished and that Senju is a character that we have seen little in relation to this. She appears to be a girl looking to reunite her family and she believes that what happened is her fault.

Personally, I think that what she says about wanting to defeat Manjiro is a lie, and that her real motivation from the beginning was to bring Haruchiyo back.

With this Senju would apparently have no motivation to lie. She and Haruchiyo met in the fight and she made her intentions clear. We'll talk about later about Haru.

Senju's testimony is more useful than rich. We find it rich and useful because we have a flashback of what she was doing, of the full context, but it is referenced that what she told Takemichi was clear and concise, without unnecessary details.

Basic aspects of how memory functions

» Capture-encoding process:

Our attentional and perceptive processing system processes, selects and encodes information from the environment (external environment) and from the organism (internal environment). It has a limited capacity (it doesn't capture all the existing information, only that which it is capable of processing and that is selected for subsequent encoding)

This perceptual selection, automatic and not conscious, depends on:

Characteristics of the stimuli to be processed, such as color, intensity, size, or movement.

Situation or context, where the stimuli are produced (lightness or distance).

Characteristics and state of activation of the subject, such as anxiety, motivation or prior knowledge.

» Retention-storage process:

The stimuli interact with the previous information, stored in the form of mental schemes. These are interpreted, encoded and stored until retrieved. During this time, the information may undergo alterations/reconstructions due to the passage of time or the incorporation of new information.

» Recovery process:

How to access this information? It depends on contextual and personal factors that will facilitate that recovery.

Memory could be affected by failures in one of the phases. Memory failures are due to bad encodings or difficulties in accessing retrieval or constructions that modify the original information, making it compatible with our prior knowledge.

» Errors of commission and omission:

Memory reconstruction can produce two different types of memory errors:

Errors of omission: lack of important details in what the witnesses of an event say (forgetting, concealment). This could very well have happened. She came after Mikey assaulted Haruchiyo, so we don't have details. She is only a witness after the event, not during it.

Errors of commission: witnesses introduce false information, deliberately (lie) or due to the effect of: post-event information, flaws in the distinction between reality and fantasy, wrong inferences. Let's rule out Senju lying.

Analysis of the manga at this point

Well, let's start from the basis that each and every one of the memories we have could be a lie. Yeah, that easy.

Memory changes over time and memories change in turn, so it is difficult to have a pure memory that hasn't been "contaminated". In the same way we have been able to go through traumatic events that we will never remember, unless we have the correct trigger. The latter is related to defense mechanisms.

I remember a psychology professor told us in class that he had a girl as a patient who never knew she had been raped. A man who was with her on public transport was wearing the same perfume that her rapist was wearing years before. She remembered it all in a flash and had to get out of the subway, with a panic attack. Why am I telling this? To give a crude example of how our own brain can manipulate us

Senju is not a completely direct witness to what happened. She came later. It's easy for her brain to assume that Mikey was the aggressor. Why? Because it makes perfect sense. Mikey's expression invites us to think that it was him, his tone of voice I imagine will be threatening, he is in front of his victim, he has every reason to be singled out as an aggressor.

And the blood? Senju may have assumed that it was in Mikey's hands and so it stayed in his memory, or was added later. She never explicitly says that Mikey attacked Haruchiyo, she just describes the scene pointing out where each of the boys was and that there was blood on Mikey's hands.

On the other hand, the blood could have been there perfectly.

However, even in one of Senju's memories, Mikey is bloodless. When he meets his brother, there is no blood on Mikey's hands, whereas in the first flashback we were shown there was. Her own memories fail and we don't know which is the correct version.

It could also be that the scene is drawn from afar, but I'm not sure, Wakui would have had no problem putting stains on Mikey's little hands

Later we'll talk about Mikey's POV, because his memories can also be manipulated. We will also talk about who is the perfect witness of what happened.

Coding factors regarding the event's characteristics

There are so many, but I chose a few of them

Duration of the event: the less time to perceive and assimilate information, the less later the memory will be. With complex events we tend to overestimate time. The greater the stress, the greater the overestimation of time. We don't know how long it was from when Senju witnessed it until Shin and Takeomi found out and took Haruchiyo to the hospital. The accident is not just the assault, it is the whole set of events, from the beginning to the end. The end would be the arrival at the hospital, or, in the event that something else happened there (mikey apologizing, perhaps, or something similar) then that would be when it was all over.

Familiarity and frequency: the greater the familiarity with certain details of the scene (the environmental context), the more attention can be paid to the rest of the details (the perpetrator), increasing the quality and quantity of memory. However, this factor is in turn subordinated to others, such as the excitement generated or the role played. It also occurs when describing a car by a mechanic or a gun by a hunter. Senju was a little girl. I doubt that she has witnessed violence anywhere other than movies or manga. This can lead to not paying attention to some details

When a witness or victim is the repeated object of a crime, they tend to remember more details but more errors of commission occur, the result of interference between the different situations in which they suffered the crime, incorporating information from one and the other.

Violence of the event: there is a belief that the more violent an event is, the more impact it causes on the witness and the better the memory of it will be. However, it has been found that crimes involving a higher degree of violence are remembered worse than more neutral ones.

The witness experiences more stress the more violence the event involves and stress negatively affects the cognitive processes of attention, perception and memory. Greater emotional involvement conditions memory.

Each person codifies the information and interprets it according to their previous experiences and personal variables.

Gender: Cognitive processes are universal. In general, gender doesn't affect the memory of witnesses.

Age: there is a belief that children are considered "bad" witnesses due to their inventive capacity or their cognitive development, and as "good" witnesses due to their ability to tell the truth innocently. We'll see how it really is next:

3-5 years: increased risk of suggestion and implantation of false memories due to difficulties in distinguishing the origin of memories (imagination or reality). More sensitive to forgetfulness and greater risk of giving in to adult suggestions

5-12 years: they do not lie or fabricate more than adults, they can be as precise and detailed as the testimony of adults interviewed by experts. They put the focus of attention on aspects other than the adult. The smallest ones have a statement quality similar to the adult but with less detail. Around the age of 12 it is equated to the testimony of an adult. Senju's testimony would be equated to an adult's testimony. She was about six years old when everything happened, if I remember correctly.

Expectations and stereotypes: when a witness cannot specify a piece of information, they resort to stereotypes before admitting it to the police. When we expect to see a certain thing, whether or not it is present, it is very likely that we will seem to see it (influence of knowledge and experience before and after the event). You see person 1 bleeding. You see person 2 apparently angry. With this information your brain can assume and insert into the memory that person 2 must have been responsible. It is an induction process. Human beings work that simple

Anxiety and emotion: Memories of traumatic events that generate intense fear or terror, in which life is felt to be threatened, are characterized by poor accuracy for peripheral details and clear and accurate memory for central details of the event.

A high level of arousal causes a decrease in attention span. In addition, traumatic memories can appear fragmented, associated with intense sensations (smells, sounds, touch) and very visual and be difficult to express in a narrative way. Although these types of memories are not so different, they vary depending on age, gender and/or the presence of psychopathologies.

Accuracy of traumatic memories: studies on traumatic memories highlight the belief that the more violent an event is, the more impact it will have and the better its memory will be. Research indicates that events involving a greater degree of violence are remembered worse due to the stress experienced, which negatively affects cognitive processes such as attention, perception and memory.

Obtaining testimony

Statement taking helps improve the quality of testimony. It has two main objectives: obtaining information and identifying the offender. The different procedures (narrative format, cognitive interview and interrogation format. Not gonna explain all of them)

The closest format to what Senju did is the narrative format. She explained it without anyone asking her one question after another (that would be done in an interrogation) and without asking her to remember specific things. She gives a complete narrative.

Definition below:

Narrative format: the witness is asked to recount what happened freely and without interruption (it is recommended to start with this format). There is less probability of error and greater accuracy, but it has the disadvantage that it is poor in detail.

About lying in testimonies

Throughout the study of lies, it has been pointed out that one way to catch them is through a person's body language. However, this option isn't valid, because cultural and personal variables are involved. As for the lie detector, that's straight up a lie. The lie detector doesn't detect lies, it detects physiological responses associated with lying such as heart rate and sweating. That's why it isn't usually admitted in judicial contexts

But.

A person who deliberately offers a false testimony wouldn't introduce this content, because it would undermine credibility:

Spontaneous corrections

Admission of lack of memory

Raise doubts about one's own testimony

Self-disapproval: senju blames herself over and over again.

Forgive the offender: We don't know anything about how exactly Senju feels towards Mikey. During the battle of the three deities it's referenced that she's afraid of him, but we don't know if she hates him or if he has simply forgiven him in the same way that he expected Haruchiyo to forgive her. But she truly wanted to solve things.

About ch 263

Senju said Mikey and Haru changed. Really? Why? Haruchiyo made it clear that she didn't understand. It was just a trigger.

However, when we see Baji and Haruchiyo, apparently a month after the accident (Haru's hair has grown quite a bit, so we'll assume a month passed) they are still as enthusiastic as ever. The only one who seems to have changed is Manjiro. He looks more violent and duller. You just have to look at the conversation they have

“As expected” they're used to Mikey being violent and beating up people out there. Baji seems surprised, but Haru seems... Proud?

I'm not saying Haruchiyo hasn't changed. Only he didn't do it as radically as Senju implies when he tells what happened. Perhaps that change was gradual, exploding upon reaching adolescence.. Anyway, we don't have Haru's POV and that makes me desperate

Mikey's mother's death happened before the accident. This may have been the trigger for his violent attitudes to begin to overflow.

From my point of view, Mikey was never himself, he only imitated the behaviors that he considered good. A child learns by imitating behavior, yeah, but Mikey took it differently. In addition, the lack of good and alive lmao references could have made this worse. I think part of Mikey projects himself to others. He hates weak people. He considers himself weak, hates himself for it, and has an overwhelming need to prove himself wrong over and over again, perhaps to gain validation or not feel bad about being weak.

In any case, we still have little information about the accident. What happened after? How did Takeomi take it? Shinichiro scolded his brother? How was the home of the Akashi from then on? Takeomi would scold Haru too?

Back to this. In Mikey's memories he doesn't have blood on his hands. Having seen everything above about the psychology of testimony, this can be due to multiple factors and we have two options:

There really was no blood on his hands. He isn't guilty and Senju's memory failed. What happened? Wakui, explain☠️. Maybe something supernatural related to time travel

There is blood and he is guilty, although in his memories he doesn't have it. Why would this happen? Because Mikey wouldn't be able to blame himself for something so brutal. Defense mechanisms. The same ones that led Kazutora to blame Mikey for Shinichiro's death, because his brain didn't want to process that he had killed him. His brain was protecting him from himself and this could be the case with Mikey as well.

Wakui forgot to draw the damn blood ☠️

Do you know who could have the best testimony?

Baji. I think his testimony would be more reliable than Senju's (she is only a witness after the event, not during it), and Sanzu (his memories could be influenced by his obsession with mikey). Even if he could be influenced by all the factors we've seen and the ones we haven't, his version could be pretty reliable.

But he's a bit — ☠️

Anyway, I think that would be all that can be squeezed out of this case. Don't hesitate to give your opinion, correct me if I have forgotten something, and if you even find any misspelling!

Causes of Low Sex Drive

Both men and women can suffer from low sex drive, also known as  hypoactive sexual desire disease (HSDD). Lack of interest in sexual action is one of its defining characteristics, which can cause frustration and a decline in quality of life. Low sex drive can be caused by a variety of elements, spanning from psychological to physical causes. The common causes of low sex drive will be covered in this article,    along with some Ayurvedic sex power medicine  that experts suggest.

Psychological factors :

A lack of sex drive may be caused by psychological variables such as stress, anxiety, and depression. A person's body releases cortisol, a hormone that can reduce libido, when they are worried or anxious. Contrarily, depression can lead to feelings of helplessness and a lack of interest in enjoyable pursuits, including sex, which has an impact on one's sex life.

Lifestyle elements :

Unhealthy lifestyle choices like smoking, binge drinking, and drug use can have a negative effect on a couple's sex life relationships.Low sex desire can also be caused by a poor diet and inactivity. Particularly obesity can influence sexual drive by lowering testosterone levels and raising oestrogen levels.

Age :

People's sex drives may typically decline as they age. Age-related declines in hormone levels, especially testosterone, are the cause of this. Sexual drive can also be impacted by physical changes, such as menopause in women.

Treatment :

Depending on the underlying reason, low sex drive can have different treatments. Counselling or therapy may occasionally be beneficial in tackling the psychological causes of low libido. For those with hormonal imbalances, hormone replacement treatment or medication changes may be required.There are many different kinds of medications as well, but one should choose natural sex power medicine. Changes in lifestyle, like giving up smoking or exercising more, may also increase sexual drive. A mix of therapies may be required in some circumstances. Conclusion People can increase their sexual desire and quality of sex life by figuring out and treating the root reasons. It's critical to get help if your sex desire is low.

Conclusion :

Although it can be an annoying and upsetting disease, low sex drive is treatable. People can increase their sexual desire and quality of sex life by figuring out and treating the root reasons. It's critical to get help if your sex desire is low.

Comparative Stratification of Cardiovascular Risk through Framingham and Globo Risk in Patients with Psoriasis of IAHULA November 2017-May 2018 

Abstract

Objectives: To know the frequency of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Psoriasis who come to the consultation of the Dermatology Service of the Autonomous University Hospital of the Andes November 2017 to May 2018.

Materials and Methods: Observational analytical descriptive study. Patients with Psoriasis diagnoses who attended the dermatology office were selected, PASI, ATP-III, Framingham and GLOBORISK were applied.

Results: 55 patients, 55% men and 45% women, there was statistical correlation between older age groups and PASI index (p=0.023). The main modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were smoking, sedentary lifestyle and obesity, statistical correlation was found for sedentary lifestyle (p=0.047). The main non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors were Hypertension and Diabetes showing both statistical significance (p=0.004), (p=0.0001). The ATP-III criteria showed statistical significance for Hypertension, glycemia, total cholesterol and low HDL (p=0.003, p=0.008, p=0.027, p=0.017). The frequency of metabolic syndrome represented 47.27% of the sample. The most affected gender was male (61.54%). Statistical correlation was found in the older age groups for the presence of Metabolic Syndrome (p=0.0001). The group with the highest frequency of metabolic syndrome was the one with 6 to 10 years of the disease (p=0.001). When applying the Framingham and GLOBORISK scores, there were higher scores in the patients as PASI was increased.

Conclusion: There is a higher frequency of Metabolic Syndrome in patients with Psoriasis, so it is recommended to establish measures aimed at reducing the burden of cardiovascular disease in these patients.

Introduction

Psoriasis has evolved conceptually over time, from being considered a skin disease in its first descriptions, currently we can define it as a chronic and inflammatory skin disease, without a defined, genetically determined, pathophysiologically autoimmune etiology, of intermittent evolution, at risk of skin, systemic and psychological comorbidities, which impact on quality of life [1]. The most characteristic feature of psoriasis is the hyperproliferation and altered differentiation of keratinocytes, in addition to immune, biochemical, and vascular abnormalities influenced by multiple environmental factors that can trigger or exacerbate its evolution, affecting between 2 and 3% of the population. World [2]. Psoriasis is estimated to affect approximately more than 125 million people worldwide, with a global prevalence of 2-3%. Being greater in those of Caucasian origin, it is variable in other races and exceptional among the indigenous people of the American continent and Australia. The white race has a prevalence of 0.1% and the incidence in the black race is low. In Germany there is a prevalence of the disease of 1.7%, in Sweden of 2.3%, the United States 2.1%, India 0.7%, Japan 0.5%. In Latin American countries it is working on it. Studies suggest that the prevalence in South America is 1% [3].

According to the global report of psoriasis published by the WHO in 2016, people with psoriasis are at high risk of suffering from various comorbid conditions, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, Crohn’s disease, myocardial infarction, ulcerative colitis, metabolic syndrome, strokes or liver disease. Patients with moderate/severe psoriasis, especially in the 4th decade of life, have an increased risk of having a heart attack and survival decreases 3 years for men and 4 years for women because of cardiovascular events [4]. Epidemiological studies have aroused great interest in the association of psoriasis with different cardiovascular, metabolic and immune comorbidities with which it shares inflammatory pathways or a common background [5], however, its association with metabolic syndrome has been increasingly recognized [6]. Metabolic Syndrome (MS) is a set of cardiometabolic risk factors that confer a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease than that attributed to each component in isolation. It affects approximately 15 to 25% of the general population, its prevalence is increasing both in developed countries (United States and European countries) and in developing countries, accompanying the increase in obesity globally [7,8]. Metabolic Syndrome confers a significant burden of disease, for example, some studies show that MS confers twice the risk of coronary artery disease, [9] as well as increases the risk of cerebrovascular disease, fatty liver and certain types of malignancies such as lymphomas and squamous cell carcinomas [10].

Current recommendations suggest that patients with psoriasis should be evaluated to rule out the presence of MS, and if it is present, they should receive intensive treatment, with interventions in their lifestyle, weight loss, control of blood pressure, diabetes, and hypercholesterolemia [11]. There are multiple criteria used to define metabolic syndrome at an international Mildl, those proposed by the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF), those of the National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP ATP III) and others such as those of the Organization World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) that have in common grouping a series of abnormalities in the same individual [12-14].

It should be noted that most of the research papers use the ATP III criteria to compare results due to their practical utility; associating simplicity to carry out laboratory tests; and it also requires complying with three of the five parameters. There is evidence that this association (SM/PSORIASIS) is due to increased T cell immune activity, and increased production of tumor necrosis factor alpha. These classify psoriasis as the prototype of an inflammatory disease characterized by TH1 and TH17 activation, whose cytokines such as IL1, IL6, and tumor necrosis factor alpha are elevated in blood and skin mediators that could have an effect on adipogenesis, lipid metabolism, and insulin signaling. Hence, the entire inflammatory process in psoriasis has a great impact on obesity, diabetes, thrombosis, and arteriosclerosis, which, in turn, can influence the pathogenesis of psoriasis by promoting the proinflammatory state and increasing the propensity to develop the syndrome. Metabolic [15-17].

Given that Psoriasis is one of the main reasons for consultation in the dermatological area, and having no current data on the incidence of MS in Venezuela, it is necessary to establish the prevalence of MS in patients with Psoriasis and subsequently establish if there is a correlation between both pathologies. It is important to highlight that in the autonomous institute university hospital of the Andes edo. Merida Venezuela no research work has been carried out that has determined the cardiovascular risk profile or the frequency of metabolic syndrome in patients with Psoriasis who come to the Dermatology service consultation of said institution, therefore an observational study of cross section in the period established from November 2017 to May 2018. It will be of great contribution and serve as health information, in addition to contributing to the prevention of said pathology and thus reducing morbidity and mortality. The motivation to carry out this study arises; and in turn, to instill future generations to continue the present investigation.

Results

Table 1 showed that the study sample was made up of 55 patients who attended the IAHULA Dermatology clinic, distributed by gender as follows; female gender n=25 with a respective percentage of (45.5%) and the highest proportion male gender n=30 (54.5%). The patients were stratified according to the PASI classification in 4 categories; inactive or asymptomatic forms, Mild, Moderate, and finally the severe and very severe forms in the last group as a last category to simplify their subsequent analysis. It was evidenced that the Moderate form of the disease according to the PASI index was the one with the highest frequency n=22, with a gender distribution of 10 (45.5%) for the female and 12 (55.5) for the gender. male. Regarding age groups, they were divided into 4 categories: those under 30 years, between 31 to 50 years, 51 to 60 years, and those over 60 years, respectively. The highest proportion of patients corresponded to the group over 60 years old (16), secondly those between 31 and 50 years old (14), thirdly between 51 and 60 years old (13) and lastly those under 30 years old (12) this correlation between the age of the patients and the PASI index being statistically significant.

Table 1:Sociodemographic characteristics and PASI index of the evaluated patients discriminated by the severity of Psoriasis.  

In relation to the Graffar, the distribution was made based on 5 categories where it was observed that the groups with the highest frequency corresponded to IV n=20 (36.4) and III n=15 (27.3). Table 2 shows the modifiable cardiovascular risk factors identified in the patients in the study. They were stratified into 5 categories defined as Sedentary, Obesity, Smoker High fat diet and Dyslipidemia, of which the most frequent corresponded to Smoker with 34.5% n=19 patients, in second place Sedentary, third place Obesity, in fourth place Dyslipidemia and as less frequent of the 5 the presence of Dyslipidemia. Table 3 shows those modifiable cardiovascular risk factors distributed in 3 categories; Hypertension, diabetes mellitus and Myocardial infarction, the first 2 were statistically significant as they were correlated with the severity of psoriasis, but the presence of Myocardial infarction was not.

Table 3: Non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the evaluated patients discriminated by the severity of Psoriasis.

Table 4 shows the ATP-III criteria, applied to our study to define metabolic syndrome. The most frequent corresponded to Arterial Hypertension, the second was hypertriglyceridemia and the third had low HDL levels. Statistical significance was not seen in the Body Mass Index, Abdominal Circumference, and Triglycerides categories. In Table 5 it was observed that the frequency of metabolic syndrome represented 47.27% (26) of the sample. Regarding distribution, the most affected gender was male (61.54%), n=16 of the 26 patients in our study. In the distribution by age, a higher proportion could be seen for the group of those over 60 years old, n=13 (50%), finding a statistical correlation for the variables older age and the presence of metabolic syndrome in patients with Psoriasis. Table 6 corresponds to the crossing of data between the risk scales used in the study and the PASI of the patients, the 4 PASI categories previously indicated and the corresponding scores for Globorisk and Framingham were used. 10-year cardiovascular risk scores. A directly proportional relationship was observed as the PASI increased, the cardiovascular risk at 10 years increased for both scales.

Discussion

This work is given under the lack of studies in our country on the area, cardiovascular risk very often complicates patients with and without psoriasis. The main causes of death in the world are cardiovascular conditions derived from the presence of metabolic syndrome and that is why the relevance of carrying out this study was analyzed. In our study, it was observed that the sample was composed of 55 patients distributed and classified in 4 categories according to the PASI, the frequency by gender showed a greater distribution for the male gender compared to the female, which is consistent with prevalence studies for the disease [19]. The findings of our study showed that the Moderates forms were the most frequent of the 4 categories, this finding does not correlate with what was found in studies with similar characteristics and could be due to the lack of timely therapy for reasons already known to all of us. The modifiable and non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors of the patients were evaluated, the main modifiable cardiovascular risk factor was Smoker, this finding agrees with that reflected in other studies [20], where a higher prevalence of Smoker in patients with a diagnosis of Psoriasis. Regarding non-modifiable cardiovascular risk factors, a high presence of Hypertension and Diabetes was observed in the study members, this finding from this study agrees with that found in other investigations [21].

The ATP-III criteria were applied to the study patients, since there is a high frequency of them, especially for Arterial Hypertension, hypertriglyceridemia, and low HDL levels, this finding agrees with what was found in other studies [22]. The frequency of metabolic syndrome was observed in 26 of the 55 patients, which reveals a great similarity in relation to what was found in other studies [23], where higher rates of it have been correlated compared to the general population. Additionally, it was evidenced that the evolution time of Psoriasis was decisive for the appearance of metabolic syndrome with a value of p=0.001, various studies have correlated this with the chronic activation of the immune system and the increased expression of pro-inflammatory substances that generate dysfunction. Endothelial and increased burden of cardiovascular disease [24]. The cardiovascular risk assessment when applying the Framingham and GLOBORISK scales showed a high correlation between the PASI severity index and a higher risk score for both scales. This result has been found in investigations where a greater load of cardiovascular disease and a poorer control of Psoriasis [25] have been correlated, which is also influenced by the limited availability of therapeutics at present.

Recommendations

1. Extend medium and long-term follow-up, to assess cardiovascular risk in patients with Psoriasis. 2. Measure the effects of lack of treatment in patients with Psoriasis and its repercussions regarding cardiovascular risk. 3. Expand the sample of patients including patients with other pathologies of a rheumatological nature to characterize their cardiovascular risk profile and the frequency of metabolic syndrome. 4. Sensitize the staff of the Dermatology service regarding the high rate of cardiovascular disease in these patients. 5. Generate directives with the Hospital Management to acquire the necessary medications for the management of these patients. 6. Implement cardiovascular risk prevention programs in patients who come to the Psoriasis clinic. 7. Establish in the clinical practice of the Dermatology Service tools to assess cardiovascular risk annually and request tests according to that risk. 8. Continue with research related to cardiovascular risk and psoriasis. 9. Timely refer patients with Psoriasis and other Comorbidities to the relevant service. 10. Use stratification tools such as Framingham and GLOBORISK in the evaluation of cardiovascular risk.

Slowing the Aging Process: Emerging Strategies and Promising Interventions

Aging is an inevitable part of life, characterized by the gradual decline in physiological functions and increased susceptibility to diseases. However, recent advancements in science and medicine have sparked significant interest in slowing the aging process, potentially extending both lifespan and healthspan—the period of life spent in good health. This article explores the various strategies and interventions that are showing promise in the fight against aging.

Understanding the Biological Basis of Aging

Aging is influenced by a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. At the cellular level, aging is associated with the accumulation of damage and a decrease in the cell's ability to repair itself. Key hallmarks of aging include genomic instability, telomere attrition, mitochondrial dysfunction, and cellular senescence, among others. Addressing these underlying mechanisms is critical to developing effective anti-aging strategies.

Caloric Restriction and Dietary Interventions

One of the most well-studied interventions in longevity research is caloric restriction. CR, which involves reducing calorie intake without malnutrition, has been shown to extend lifespan in various animal models. It is believed to work by reducing metabolic rate and oxidative stress, improving insulin sensitivity, and altering hormone levels that influence growth and reproduction.

In humans, the practicality of long-term caloric restriction is questionable, prompting researchers to explore similar dietary strategies that might be more feasible. Intermittent fasting (IF) and time-restricted eating (TRE) are such strategies that mimic the effects of CR and have gained popularity for their potential to improve health and longevity.

Pharmacological Interventions

Recent years have seen the emergence of drugs aimed at targeting aging processes. Metformin, a common diabetes medication, is under investigation for its potential lifespan-extending properties. It is believed to work by enhancing insulin sensitivity and reducing inflammation. Another compound, rapamycin, originally developed as an immunosuppressant, has shown promise in extending the lifespan of mice by inhibiting the mTOR pathway, which is a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism.

Resveratrol, a compound found in the skin of grapes and berries, has also been highlighted for its anti-aging effects, though its efficacy in humans remains under debate. These pharmacological interventions, while promising, require further research to fully understand their benefits and risks in the context of aging.

Lifestyle Modifications

Lifestyle choices play a significant role in the aging process. Regular physical activity, maintaining a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can all contribute to better health outcomes and longevity.

Mental health and social connections are equally important. Studies have shown that individuals with robust social ties and mental well-being tend to live longer, healthier lives. Activities that challenge the brain, such as learning new skills, reading, and engaging in complex problem-solving, can also help maintain cognitive function as one ages.

The Role of Technology in Aging

Advancements in technology, including AI and biotechnology, are becoming integral in the quest to slow aging. AI-driven diagnostics can predict aging-related diseases earlier, improving the chances of successful interventions. Biotechnology, particularly in the field of gene editing and regenerative medicine, holds the potential to directly repair age-related damage at the cellular and molecular levels.

Psychological Causes of Depression

Introduction

Depression, often misunderstood as merely feeling sad, encompasses a complex array of psychological and biological factors. Understanding the psychological causes behind depression is crucial for effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Genetic Factors

Depression can have a genetic component, with individuals having a family history of depression being at a higher risk. Studies involving twins have highlighted the hereditary nature of depression, indicating a significant genetic predisposition.

Biological Factors

Neurotransmitter imbalance, abnormalities in brain structure, and hormonal fluctuations play pivotal roles in depression. Imbalances in serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine are often associated with depressive symptoms.

Psychological Trauma

Experiencing traumatic events, especially during childhood, can lead to the development of depression later in life. Conditions like PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder) often coexist with depression due to the lasting psychological impact of trauma.

Stressful Life Events

Major life changes, chronic stress, and work-related pressures can trigger or exacerbate depressive episodes. Stress management techniques are essential for individuals susceptible to depression.

Personality Traits

Certain personality traits, such as perfectionism, low self-esteem, and pessimism, can predispose individuals to depression. Addressing maladaptive thought patterns is integral to managing depressive symptoms.

Social Isolation and Loneliness

Lack of social support, strained relationships, and excessive social media use can contribute to feelings of isolation and loneliness, exacerbating depressive tendencies.

Cognitive Factors

Negative thinking patterns, cognitive distortions, and rumination are common cognitive factors associated with depression. Cognitive-behavioral therapy aims to challenge and modify these patterns.

Chronic Illness and Disability

Chronic illnesses and disabilities can significantly impact mental health, leading to feelings of despair and hopelessness. Integrative care addressing both physical and psychological needs is essential for managing depression in such cases.

Sleep Disorders

Sleep disturbances, such as insomnia and sleep apnea, are closely linked to depression. Addressing sleep hygiene and underlying sleep disorders can alleviate depressive symptoms.

Unhealthy Lifestyle Habits

Poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking are lifestyle factors that can contribute to depression. Adopting healthier habits can complement therapeutic interventions for depression.

Interpersonal Relationships

Effective communication, conflict resolution skills, and boundary setting are vital for maintaining healthy interpersonal relationships and reducing stressors that may contribute to depression.

Cultural and Societal Factors

The stigma surrounding mental illness, cultural norms, and disparities in access to mental health services can influence the prevalence and management of depression within communities.

Conclusion

Depression is a multifaceted condition influenced by various psychological, biological, and environmental factors. Addressing the psychological causes of depression through a holistic approach is essential for effective treatment and prevention.

Beyond the Bedroom: Mental Wellness and Erectile Dysfunction

Erectile dysfunction is a prevalent yet misunderstood ailment that affects millions of men throughout the world. While it is typically associated with physical health problems, the link between mental health and erectile dysfunction is often disregarded. In this blog, we'll look at the complex relationship between mental health and erectile dysfunction, including causes, remedies, and the significance of addressing mental well-being alongside physical aspects.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction:

Imagine you are ready for intimacy, but your body does not respond as expected. This is the reality for many guys with erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain a hard adequate erection for sexual intercourse. While occasional erection problems are to be expected, chronic troubles can cause severe distress and have an influence on overall quality of life.

Causes of Erectile Dysfunction:

Erectile dysfunction can be caused by a variety of physical and psychological variables, many of which interact in complex ways. Diabetes, heart disease, obesity, and hormone imbalances are all potential causes of erectile dysfunction. Smoking, excessive alcohol intake, and a lack of exercise are all potential risk factors.

However, it is critical not to underestimate the important role of mental health in erectile function. Stress, anxiety, sadness, and relationship issues can all cause erectile dysfunction. Performance anxiety, in particular, can lead to a self-fulfilling cycle of concern and erectile dysfunction.

The Mental Health Connection:

Sexual function is heavily influenced by our emotional condition. When we're stressed or concerned, our bodies produce hormones like cortisol, which can disrupt the physiological processes required to achieve and sustain an erection. Similarly, depression can reduce drive and pleasure from sexual activities, making it difficult to become aroused.

Furthermore, interpersonal troubles might have a substantial impact on sexual performance. Communication issues, unresolved disagreements, or a lack of closeness can cause tension and impede sexual fulfillment for both partners.

Treatment for Erectile Dysfunction:

Erectile dysfunction is often treated using a holistic strategy that takes into account both physical and mental issues. While drugs like Fildena 100mg (sildenafil citrate) can help enhance blood flow to the penis and aid with erections, they are not a complete cure.

Counseling or therapy can be quite helpful in addressing the psychological components of erectile dysfunction. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) can assist people in challenging negative thought patterns and developing coping mechanisms to manage stress and anxiety. Couples therapy can also promote better communication and intimacy, thereby strengthening relationships and increasing sexual satisfaction.

Making lifestyle modifications can help improve erectile function and general health. Regular exercise, a well-balanced diet, enough sleep, and stress-reduction strategies such as meditation or yoga can all help to improve sexual health.

Furthermore, creating a supportive and understanding environment is critical for males dealing with erectile dysfunction. Open communication with partners, healthcare providers, and mental health specialists can help ease feelings of shame or embarrassment while also providing access to appropriate treatment alternatives.

The Role of Mental Wellness:

Aside from treating the symptoms of erectile dysfunction, emphasizing mental health is critical for long-term sexual health and quality of life. Maintaining mental well-being entails engaging in relaxing and enjoyable activities, cultivating rewarding relationships, and seeking help when necessary.

Individuals dealing with erectile dysfunction must understand that they are not alone and that help is available. Seeking expert advice from a healthcare provider or therapist can provide helpful insights and support on the path to better sexual performance and mental health.

Conclusion:

Erectile dysfunction is a complex illness with both physical and psychological components. While drugs like Fildena 100mg may provide immediate relief, addressing mental health issues is critical for long-term rehabilitation and sexual satisfaction.

Individuals can improve their overall well-being by understanding the interdependence of mental health and erectile function. There are several options for treating both the symptoms and underlying reasons of erectile dysfunction, ranging from treatment to adopting healthy lifestyle practices.

Remember that seeking help is not a show of weakness, but rather a courageous step toward regaining control of one's sexual health and happiness. Individuals who prioritize mental wellness can face the challenges of erectile dysfunction with fortitude and optimism for a meaningful future outside the bedroom.

Study measures the psychological toll of wildfires

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/study-measures-the-psychological-toll-of-wildfires/

Study measures the psychological toll of wildfires

Wildfires in Southeast Asia significantly affect peoples’ moods, especially if the fires originate outside a person’s own country, according to a new study.

The study, which measures sentiment by analyzing large amounts of social media data, helps show the psychological toll of wildfires that result in substantial air pollution, at a time when such fires are becoming a high-profile marker of climate change.  

“It has a substantial negative impact on people’s subjective well-being,” says Siqi Zheng, an MIT professor and co-author of a new paper detailing the results. “This is a big effect.”

The magnitude of the effect is about the same as another shift uncovered through large-scale studies of sentiment expressed online: When the weekend ends and the work week starts, people’s online postings reflect a sharp drop in mood. The new study finds that daily exposure to typical wildfire smoke levels in the region produces an equivalently large change in sentiment.

“People feel anxious or sad when they have to go to work on Monday, and what we find with the fires is that this is, in fact, comparable to a Sunday-to-Monday sentiment drop,” says co-author Rui Du, a former MIT postdoct who is now an economist at Oklahoma State University.

The paper, “Transboundary Vegetation Fire Smoke and Expressed Sentiment: Evidence from Twitter,” has been published online in the Journal of Environmental Economics and Management.

The authors are Zheng, who is the STL Champion Professor of Urban and Real Estate Sustainability in the Center for Real Estate and the Department of Urban Studies and Planning at MIT; Du, an assistant professor of economics at Oklahoma State University’s Spears School of Business; Ajkel Mino, of the Department of Data Science and Knowledge Engineering at Maastricht University; and Jianghao Wang, of the Institute of Geographic Sciences and Natural Resources Research at the Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The research is based on an examination of the events of 2019 in Southeast Asia, in which a huge series of Indonesian wildfires, seemingly related to climate change and deforestation for the palm oil industry, produced a massive amount of haze in the region. The air-quality problems affected seven countries: Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam.

To conduct the study, the scholars produced a large-scale analysis of postings from 2019 on X (formerly known as Twitter) to sample public sentiment. The study involved 1,270,927 tweets from 378,300 users who agreed to have their locations made available. The researchers compiled the data with a web crawler program and multilingual natural language processing applications that review the content of tweets and rate them in affective terms based on the vocabulary used. They also used satellite data from NASA and NOAA to create a map of wildfires and haze over time, linking that to the social media data.

Using this method creates an advantage that regular public-opinion polling does not have: It creates a measurement of mood that is effectively a real-time metric rather than an after-the-fact assessment. Moreover, substantial wind shifts in the region at the time in 2019 essentially randomize which countries were exposed to more haze at various points, making the results less likely to be influenced by other factors.

The researchers also made a point to disentangle the sentiment change due to wildfire smoke and that due to other factors. After all, people experience mood changes all the time from various natural and socioeconomic events. Wildfires may be correlated with some of them, which makes it hard to tease out the singular effect of the smoke. By comparing only the difference in exposure to wildfire smoke, blown in by wind, within the same locations over time, this study is able to isolate the impact of local wildfire haze on mood, filtering out nonpollution influences.

“What we are seeing from our estimates is really just the pure causal effect of the transboundary wildfire smoke,” Du says.

The study also revealed that people living near international borders are much more likely to be upset when affected by wildfire smoke that comes from a neighboring country. When similar conditions originate in their own country, there is a considerably more muted reaction.

“Notably, individuals do not seem to respond to domestically produced fire plumes,” the authors write in the paper. The small size of many countries in the region, coupled with a fire-prone climate, make this an ongoing source of concern, however.

“In Southeast Asia this is really a big problem, with small countries clustered together,” Zheng observes.

Zheng also co-authored a 2022 study using a related methodology to study the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the moods of residents in about 100 countries. In that case, the research showed that the global pandemic depressed sentiment about 4.7 times as much as the normal Sunday-to-Monday shift.

“There was a huge toll of Covid on people’s sentiment, and while the impact of the wildfires was about one-fifth of Covid, that’s still quite large,” Du says.

In policy terms, Zheng suggests that the global implications of cross-border smoke pollution could give countries a shared incentive to cooperate further. If one country’s fires become another country’s problem, they may all have reason to limit them. Scientists warn of a rising number of wildfires globally, fueled by climate change conditions in which more fires can proliferate, posing a persistent threat across societies.

“If they don’t work on this collaboratively, it could be damaging to everyone,” Zheng says.

The research at MIT was supported, in part, by the MIT Sustainable Urbanization Lab. Jianghao Wang was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.

Erectile Dysfunction: A Concern for All Ages

Men of all ages can suffer from the widespread ailment known as erectile dysfunction (ED), which affects them not just physically but also emotionally and in their relationships. In this guide, we'll examine the various aspects of ED and look into the effectiveness of sildenafil citrate 50mg as a reliable treatment. It is crucial to comprehend the reasons, symptoms, and accessible solutions for those seeking reliable information and support.

Understanding Erectile Dysfunction

Impotence, another name for erectile dysfunction, is a disease characterized by a persistent inability to get and keep an erection strong enough for intercourse. This is a complex issue with numerous physiological and psychological facets.

Physiological contributors to ED often involve underlying health conditions. Blood flow to the genital area might be impeded by cardiovascular issues, including hypertension or atherosclerosis, which can impact the ability to achieve an erection. Diabetes is another prevalent physiological component that can cause circulation problems and damage to nerves. An additional factor contributing to ED may be hormonal abnormalities, including low testosterone levels.

Psychologically, erectile dysfunction is significantly influenced by stress, anxiety, and melancholy. The complex interactions between the mind and body can interfere with the regular physiological procedures that lead to and maintain an erection. An ED cycle can be self-perpetuating when performance anxiety, which is based on feelings of sexual inadequacy or bad experiences in the past, is present.

It is critical to realize that ED is not just a result of aging. Younger guys who smoke, drink too much alcohol, or use drugs may develop ED as a result of their lifestyle choices. In all age groups, emotional detachment, communication difficulties, and relationship problems can all be factors in eating disorders.

Understanding the complex interplay between physiological and psychological aspects is essential for both individuals with ED and those who provide care to them. A comprehensive strategy that considers the whole range of possible reasons makes professional advice even more critical and enables more effective responses.

Treating erectile dysfunction (ED) involves more than just addressing the symptoms. Identifying and managing the underlying causes is as important as promoting sexual health and well-being. By recognizing that ED can affect people of all ages, we can adopt a more inclusive approach to care. Whether the cause of ED is physiological or psychological, understanding the different aspects of the condition can enable people to make knowledgeable decisions about their health and seek appropriate interventions that are tailored to their unique circumstances.

The Impact of ED Across Age Groups

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) is often linked with aging, but it can affect people of all ages. In younger age groups, lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking too much alcohol, and not exercising activity can contribute to ED. In addition, psychological factors such as performance anxiety, societal pressures, and relationship issues can also play a significant role.

Recognizing that ED affects individuals at different stages of life is crucial for reducing stigma around the condition. This emphasizes the importance of comprehensive sexual education and proactive health measures to address ED at various stages of life.

Sildenafil citrate 50mg: A Trusted Solution

Sildenafil Citrate Tablets 50mg as an Effective Treatment

Sildenafil Citrate is one of the most often prescribed drugs for ED, and the 50mg dosage provides a well-rounded and efficient treatment. This substance enhances blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation; it is classified as a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor.

How Sildenafil Citrate Tablets Work?

Sildenafil Citrate, a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, is instrumental in enhancing erectile function by targeting the PDE5 enzyme. It interferes with the fast breakdown of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) during sexual excitement, allowing penile smooth muscle relaxation to last longer. This action helps to initiate and maintain an erection by facilitating increased blood flow to the erectile tissues.

It's important to stress that although sildenafil citrate enhances the body's innate reaction to sexual stimulation, it doesn't cause erections on its own; instead, it needs sexual arousal to work. This complex understanding emphasizes how important it is to have a supportive connection with medical professionals to guarantee the safe and efficient use of drugs like sildenafil citrate to treat erectile dysfunction.

How to Use Sildenafil Citrate Tablets 50mg?

Consultation with a Healthcare Professional:-

Before taking sildenafil citrate 50mg tab, seeking a healthcare provider to identify the correct dosage and discuss any possible contraindications is essential. The prescribing decision will be based on a comprehensive medical history that includes current drugs and pre-existing illnesses.

Proper Administration:-

It is recommended to take sildenafil citrate tablets orally, preferably half an hour to an hour before having intercourse. You can take it with or without food, though fat-rich meals will make it less effective. A starting dosage of 50 mg is frequently advised for patients just beginning treatment, with modifications made according to each patient's reaction.

Potential Side Effects and Precautions

Although sildenafil citrate is usually well tolerated, there is a chance that it will have moderate side effects, including headache, flushing, or indigestion. It's critical to be aware of any possible drug interactions, particularly with nitrates. People with cardiovascular problems or other medical concerns should be cautious and let their doctor know.

The Final Words

Erectile Dysfunction (ED) emerges as a complex challenge affecting men across age groups, emphasizing the need for a nuanced and inclusive understanding of its causes and treatments. Suhagra 50mg Sildenafil Tablets, a widely recognized and reliable solution, provide hope for those aiming to reclaim control over their sexual health. Its efficacy in enhancing erectile function by addressing both physiological and psychological aspects underscores its significance in the spectrum of available treatments.

However, it's crucial to emphasize the importance of seeking professional advice for tailored guidance in navigating the journey toward overcoming ED. This comprehensive approach, coupled with the potential of Suhagra 50mg, empowers individuals to pursue a fulfilling and satisfying sexual life with the support of healthcare professionals.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Kennesaw, GA: Enhancing Smiles and Confidence

Located in the heart of Georgia, Kennesaw is a vibrant community known for its historic charm, bustling downtown, and commitment to quality of life.

This is where cosmetic dentistry in Kennesaw, GA, comes into play, offering residents a range of transformative dental procedures aimed at enhancing smiles and boosting confidence.

Cosmetic dentistry goes beyond mere oral health; it focuses on improving the aesthetics of the teeth, gums, and overall smile. From simple teeth whitening procedures to complex smile makeovers, cosmetic dentistry encompasses a wide array of treatments designed to address various dental imperfections and enhance the appearance of one's smile.

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry procedures in Kennesaw, GA, is teeth whitening. Over time, teeth can become stained or discolored due to factors such as aging, smoking, or consuming certain foods and beverages. Professional teeth whitening treatments offered by skilled dentists in Kennesaw can effectively remove stubborn stains and restore the natural brightness of the teeth, helping patients achieve a brighter, more youthful smile.

Another common cosmetic dental procedure is dental veneers. Veneers are thin, custom-made shells that are bonded to the front surface of the teeth to improve their appearance.

For individuals with missing teeth or gaps between their teeth, dental implants offer a permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution. Dental implants consist of titanium posts that are surgically implanted into the jawbone, serving as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants integrate with the bone, custom-made crowns are attached to them, effectively restoring the functionality and appearance of the missing teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and long-term solution for tooth replacement.

In addition to these popular cosmetic procedures, Kennesaw dentists also offer treatments such as dental bonding, gum contouring, and orthodontic options like clear aligners, which can straighten misaligned teeth discreetly and effectively.

What sets cosmetic dentistry in Kennesaw, GA, apart is not just the availability of advanced treatments but also the personalized approach adopted by local dental professionals.
