Psychodramatische Supervision in der Sozialen Arbeit

Anliegen dieses Artikels ist, die besondere Qualit?t und Chance von Psychodramatischer Supervision zu beschreiben, und gleichzeitig die Kompatibilit?t und fruchtbare Erg?nzung des Moreno’schen Ansatzes innerhalb des Formats Supervision innerhalb der Sozialen Arbeit auf zuzeigen. Dies wird anhand von 2 ausgew?hlten Praxisbeispielen dargestellt. Die Handlungskompetenz von Supervisandinnen und Supervisanden kann durch einfache psychodramatische Interventionen erweitert werden. Handlungshemmung wird überwunden, Spontaneit?t und Kreativit?t kommen ins Laufen und er?ffnen Perspektiven.     

The expression of emotion through nonverbal behavior in medical visits

Relationship-centered care reflects both knowing and feeling: the knowledge that physician and patient bring from their respective domains of expertise, and the physician’s and patient’s experience, expression, and perception of emotions during the medical encounter. These processes are conveyed and reciprocated in the care process through verbal and nonverbal communication. We suggest that the emotional context of care is especially related to nonverbal communication and that emotion-related communication skills, including sending and receiving nonverbal messages and emotional self-awareness, are critical elements of high-quality care. Although nonverbal behavior has received far less study than other care processes, the current review argues that it holds significance for the therapeutic relationship and influences important outcomes including satisfaction, adherence, and clinical outcomes of care.     

Cell cycle control and CDC28/Cdc2 homologue and related gene cloning of Cryptococcus neoformans]

In Cryptococcus neoformans the DNA content of cells having tiny buds varied rather widely, depending on growth phases and strains used. Typically, buds of C. neoformans emerged soon after initiation of DNA synthesis in the early exponential phase. However, bud emergence was delayed to G2 during transition to the stationary phase, and in the early stationary phase budding scarcely occurred, although roughly half of the cells completed DNA synthesis. The timing of budding in C. neoformans was shifted to later cell cycle points with progression of the growth phase of the culture. Similarly, a deficit in oxygen was demonstrated to delay the timing of budding, prolong the G2 phase and cause accumulation of cells after DNA synthesis, but before commitment to budding. The C. neoformans homologue of the main cell cycle control gene CDC28/Cdc2 was isolated using degenerate RT-PCR. The full-length coding region was then amplified using primers to target the regions around the start and stop codons. The gene was called CnCdk1 and was found to have high homologies to S. cerevisiae CDC28 and S. pombe cdc2. To determine its function, its ability to rescue S. cerevisiae cdc28-temperature sensitive mutants was tested. S. cerevisiae cdc28-4 and cdc28-1N strains transformed with the pYES2-CnCdk1 construct exhibited growth at the restrictive temperature. Results of the sequence analysis and the ability of CnCdk1 to complement the S. cerevisiae cdc28-ts mutations support its assumed role as the CDC28/cdc2 homologue in C. neoformans.     

Non-invasive Assessment of Coronary Flow Velocity Reserve: A New Method Using Transthoracic Doppler Echocardiography

Coronary flow reserve (CFR) has been used toassess coronary microcirculation and epicardial coro-nary stenoses[1— 3 ] . CFR is defined as the ratio ofcoronary flow under maximal coronary vasodilatationto coronary flow under resting conditions[4 ] .Whenthe cross- sectional area of epicardial coronary arteriesis constant,coronary flow velocity (CFV) ratios areequal to volume flow ratios.The most common method used clinically formeasuring CFVR is intracoronary Doppler flow(ICD) analysis re…     

Study of the effects of dopamine hydrochloride on alpha 1-adrenoceptors in rat kidney

We studied the number and affinity of catecholamine receptors in SD rat kidney by radioreceptor technique. The following conclusions were obtained: 1) By using 3H-prazosin, the numbers of alpha 1-receptor (Bmax) in rat renal cortex were greater than those in rat kidney medulla. As for affinity (Kd), the significance was not recognized between the two. Bmax of the rat renal cortex to 3H-prazosin binding was 96.1 fmol/mg protein, and Kd was 0.17 nM, and for the rat renal medullar these values were 44.5 fmol/mg protein and 0.13 nM, respectively. 2) By measurement of D1-receptor using 3H-SKF38393 in the rat renal cortex in the Scatchard plot analysis, positive cooperativity was observed under the low concentration of hot ligand which was less than 1 nM. But at the concentration of hot ligand over 1 nM, the plots showed a straight line. Bmax of the rat renal cortex to 3H-SKF38393 was 2.5 pmol/mg protein and Kd was 5.3 nM. 3) Based on displacement by dopamine for 3H-prazosin binding to rat renal cortex, it was surmised that high concentration of dopamine had an affinity to alpha 1-adrenoceptors. 4) There was no change in the Kd and Bmax of alpha 1-receptor in the rat renal cortex after incubation of samples with low concentration of dopamine. However, in the case of high concentration of dopamine, a remarkable decrease of the affinity (Kd) of alpha 1-adrenoceptor was observed.
