Le malentendu dans les activités sexuelles à l’adolescence : un signe de sexualité préoccupante ?

ObjectivesThe adolescence corresponds to this existential period when the violence in its creative and destructive functions is the mainspring at the same time and challenge. During this time of passage, the young has to negotiate with himself, his family and the others. Stage of transformation and transfer, revival of multiple psychic conflicts, the adolescence sees the sexuality penetrating the reality of the body. In this context in which the rising sexual activity is associated with a concern, the misunderstanding occupies a central place in the sense where most of the time the protagonists involved in acting him hardly took the opportunity to speak to itself and to get on. Behind a misunderstanding, there are on one side facts and the other one a subject which put them in act.Patients and methodsThe article develops a clinical label involving three adolescents, a boy and two girls. Misunderstandings quickly appear about activity of sexual nature. The excitement gets involved in the fears not without generating of the ambivalence. The mutual incomprehension contains a potential trauma. It is then relevant to intervene without wanting inevitably to define the truth in its material translation of the reality. A type of dense and flexible care gives encouraging results as for the reduction of the traumatisation of a particular event. We move forward stage by stage by proposing times of meeting with a rhythm enough steady and by lending us if necessary as media of expression. Yet it is hardly always well-to-do to act not in the haste but with density and speed in the interest of some of the others. It is essential to take into account at the same time relational stakes, their impacts on the individualities, and the psychic dimensions appropriate to every protagonist. A collective and personal historian can develop in these testing moments of crisis on basis of an intervention such as sketched here, by considering repercussions at the level of the socio circle of acquaintances.ResultsThe approaches which establish themselves on the only reality of the behaviour risk to evacuate the subject which puts the qualified act of worrying. For us we suggest dreading the subjective dimension by examining the question of the sexuality from the point of view of the functioning of a personality. In other words, the question is not only of knowledge which is the act which was put, but to know which committed it. We thus watch to construe the subjective impact of the act, by reminding that the human being becomes established as subject of his speech and as agent of his act. The misunderstanding also constitutes an original media of meeting of the teenager in question. We propose a categorization of worrisome sexual activities by underlining that, in number of scenarios, the young person shows elements of several categories: a/the young people in sexual life without restraint; b/the young people confronted with the constraint of the anxiety; c/the young people led by an intense need for love; d/the young people committing sexual abuses; e/the young people showing a perversion. Besides, we shall not evoke rare disturbing sexual activities put aside by the young people in the psychotic functioning. The care leans on two concepts-keys, on one hand, the succession of two different phases, that are the evaluation and the treatment and on the other hand, the complementarity of several epistemology as well as the work in network. We advocate the establishment of a partnership envelope based on the collaboration and the respect of the principles of the shared secret.ConclusionsThe misunderstanding can reveal a worrisome sexual activity in the adolescence. Indeed let us limit the current trends “to tax” any sexual act of aggression, and his author of “abuser”, and the addressee to act him of “victim”! To limit, we determine what belongs to the physical, sexual exploration, including the consensus of the protagonists, what goes out again from the pathology. The distinction is essential at the risk otherwise to stigmatize certain young people in full constructive run-up by gathering in a single troop of the different profiles from each other. The misunderstanding represents a beautiful opportunity of meeting of a young person in the inviting to a correct interpretation of the facts, by taking into account the place they occupy in the psychic and relational functioning.     

Effectiveness of virtual reality in the treatment of hand function in children with cerebral palsy: A systematic review

Study DesignSystematic review.IntroductionChildren with cerebral palsy (CP) may have limited use of their hands for functional activities and for fine motor skills. Virtual reality (VR) is a relatively new and innovative approach to facilitate hand function in children with CP.Purpose of the StudyThe primary purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of VR as an intervention to improve hand function in children with CP compared to either conventional physiotherapy or other therapeutic interventions. The secondary purpose was to classify the outcomes evaluated according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) dimensions.MethodsA International prospective register of systematic reviews (PROSPERO)-registered literature search was carried out in August 2015 in MEDLINE, CINAHL, ERIC, HealthSTAR, AMED, BNI, Embase, PsycINFO, PEDro, Cochrane Central Register, DARE, OTSeeker, REHABDATA, HaPI, CIRRIE, and Scopus. PRISMA guidelines were followed. Only randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were included, and their methodological qualities were examined using the Cochrane collaboration's risk of bias (RoB) tool. A narrative synthesis was performed.ResultsThe 6 RCTs published on this topic provide conflicting results. Four studies reported improved hand function (2 low RoB, 1 high RoB, and 1 unclear RoB), whereas 2 studies reported no improvement. All of the RCTs reported the activity element of ICF, but no study explicitly described the effect of VR intervention based on the ICF model.ConclusionThe role of VR ti imrpove hand fucntion in children with CP is unclear due to limited evidence; use as an adjunct has some support.     

Peritoneal dialysis improves lung function in rats with lung injury induced by shock wave

Objective To prove the efficacy of peritoneal dialysis on shock wave-induced acute lung injury of rats, and analyze its mechanisms. Methods Forty-five adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group, sham operation (Sham) group and peritoneal dialysis (PD) group. Sham group and PD group did abdominal catheterization before blast injury. The 55 kg shock wave (bst-I) was used to induce lung blast injury. After one hour of blast injury, PD group was given 2.5% peritoneal dialysate 20 ml to stay abdomen, which was released 30 min posted, repeated 12 cycles. After 6 hours of peritoneal dialysis, all of the rats were sacrificed. Partial damaged tissues in lung were used to evaluate the pathomorphologic changes by HE staining, and the remnants were used to measure the lung water content. Lung function was detected by blood gas analyzer and small animal detector from the arterial blood gas. The levels of serum inflammatory factors, such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) were tested by ELISA. Results The relative integrity of alveolar structure, interstitial edema and inflammatory cell infiltration in PD group were significantly improved than those in control group. The lung water content of PD group was significantly lower than that of control group (P＜0.05). The levels of TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 and MCP-1 in serum of PD group were significantly lower than those in control group (all P＜0.05). The blood oxygen saturation, oxygen partial pressure, oxygenation index, vital capacity, functional residual volume and maximum mid-expiratory flow rate in PD group were significantly higher than those in control group (all P＜0.05). Conclusions Through reducing pulmonary edema and inflammatory factors, peritoneal dialysis can improve lung function in shock wave -induced acute lung injury of rats.     

De l’attachement au crime : une revue systématique des relations entre styles d’attachement et nature du passage à l’acte criminel

ObjectiveBased on the premises that attachment theory is an innovative paradigm for studying crime in its various facets, this article aims to present and clarify the current state of knowledge about the relationship between attachment and criminal behavior.MethodsA systematic literature review identifying all meta-analyses and reviews published over the past twenty years – from 1998 to 2018 inclusive – was therefore conducted in order to question the clinical and even explanatory value of the various attachment styles with respect to a certain type of offending. The bibliographic databases Science Direct, PsycInfo, PsycArticles, EMBASE and PubMed were examined using the following keywords and boolean operators: (attachment style) AND (criminal behavior) AND (offenders).ResultsThe data indicate that an insecure attachment style is significantly associated with all types of crime (violent behaviors, sexual violence, domestic violence, rule-breaking and antisocial behaviors), regardless of gender or age. The results also provides a network of correspondences and entanglements between particular attachment patterns and specific criminal acts; perpetrators of sexual violence are indeed characterized by a more anxious attachment style than perpetrators of violent offences, who themselves are more insecure in their relationships than perpetrators of non-sexual violence.ConclusionsThe present review emphasizes the decisive role – and the discriminatory value – of attachment dynamics in the protean nature of criminal behaviors.     

The impact of stenosis and translation on spinal cord injuries in traumatic cervical facet dislocations

BACKGROUND CONTEXT

Although facet dislocations account for only 6% of cervical trauma, the consequences are often devastating. Cervical facet dislocations are associated with a disproportionate amount of spinal cord injuries; however, neurologic examination of patients is often difficult, as patients commonly present with reduced levels of consciousness. There are limited studies that have investigated the impact of spinal canal diameter and translation on neurologic injury following facet dislocations.

Variations in the timing of first sexual experiences among populations with physical disabilities in the United States

Background

Timing of first sex has important implications for later sexual health, but little research has considered this in populations with physical disabilities.
