Desarrollo y validación de la versión abreviada del Transsexual Voice Questionnaire for Male-to-Female Transsexuals en español

ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to create and validate an abbreviated version of the Spanish Transsexual Voice Questionnaire for Male-to-Female Transsexuals (SvTVQ^MtF).SettingThe study was conducted by two referral hospitals for voice feminization surgery and by a university department of psychology and speech therapy, all in Spain.Subjects and methodsWe prospectively studied 51 male-to-female transsexuals who underwent voice feminization surgery between January 2017 and December 2018. The SvTVQ^MtF was completed before and after surgery, and the 10 items with the greatest variation were selected by clinical consensus of an expert panel to develop the short version of the SvTVQ^MtF (SvTVQ^MtF-10). The correlation between the total score and the score for each item on the SvTVQ^MtF and the SvTVQMtF-10 was studied. The internal consistency of the SvTVQ^MtF-10 was analysed.ResultsGood correlation (Pearson coefficient above .90) was found between the two questionnaires. A significant correlation was found between the total SvTVQ^MtF-10 score and the score for each item. A significant negative correlation was found between the SvTVQ^MtF and fundamental frequency after voice feminization surgery. Cronbach's α was .79.ConclusionThe SvTVQ^MtF-10 is a valid short version of the SvTVQ^MtF and can be used to quantify voice-related quality of life in MtF transsexuals.

The Transmission of Trauma from Mother to Infant: Radioactive Residues and Counter-Transference in the Case of a Haitian Mother and Her Two-Year-Old Son*

ABSTRACT

Close observation of the interactions between a traumatised mother and her infant son provides information on the modes of transmission of psychic trauma in the mother–infant dyad. Following the presentation of a current literature review on the theme, the subject of “radioactive residue” and counter-transference in the transmission of psychic trauma from mother to infant will be illustrated through a clinical case study that focuses on a Haitian mother and her two-year-old infant son who has been referred to a “transitional care nursery” in urban Paris. The encounter with this mother–infant dyad is analysed through observing the quality of the interactions that take place between the mother and infant in order to determine how a particularly traumatic narrative impacts the mother–infant relationship, in addition to relations with the clinician. Mother and infant respond to one another through the emission and reception of “radioactive residues” as hypothesized by Gampel. This clinical case study shows that there is a need to consider transcultural factors and collective experience and history when analysing traumatic events. Additionally, the case study shows that counter-transference can be an effective clinical tool for gaining access to an infant's experience as the recipient of a traumatic narrative.     

脑血管畸形致脑出血患者手术治疗效果观察

目的分析脑血管畸形致脑出血患者应用手术治疗的临床疗效。方法纳入本院2018年1月—2020年1月收治的60例脑血管畸形致脑出血患者,随机分组(每组样本容量共计30例),参照组给予保守治疗,观察组给予手术治疗,对比两组临床疗效、治疗前、治疗1月后NIHSS评分、住院时间。结果临床总有效率观察组(93.33%)明显高于参照组(63.33%),观察组治疗1月后NIHSS评分明显低于参照组,观察组住院时间明显比参照组短,差异均具有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论脑血管畸形致脑出血患者采纳手术治疗,可有效减轻患者神经功能受损情况,缩短治疗时间。
