Integrative Perspektiven für die „klinische Sozialarbeit“ am Beispiel körperorientierter Interventionen für die Arbeit mit Jugendlichen: annotierte Experten-Interviews mit Gerald Hüther & Hilarion G. Petzold
No full textUm für eine klinische Sozialarbeit einen fundierenden theoretischen Hintergrund für körper-orientierte Arbeitsformen zu gewinnen wurden G. Hüther und H. Petzold als Experten zum Thema „Leiblichkeit“ und „Gehirn“ interviewt. Dabei wurde deutlich, dass Konzepte der Integrativen Therapie allgemein (etwa im Hinblick auf die „Therapeutische Beziehung“) aber auch spezifisch (etwa im Hinblick auf die Arbeit mir Traumatisierungen) eine hohe praxeologische Relevanz haben.In order to provide for clinical social work basic assumptions for body-oriented forms of practice G. Hüther and H. Petzold have been interviewed as experts concerning the topic “Corporeality” and “brain”. By this it became evident, that concepts of Integrative Therapy in general (e.g. concerning the therapeutic relationship) but also specifically (e.g. concerning the work with traumatization) are highly relevant for Praxeology.https://www.fpi-publikation.de/polyloge/16-2015-szczygiel-m-floren-m-huether-g-petzold-h-klinische-sozialarbeit-koerperorientiert/peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Presence of melatonin in the human hepatobiliary-gastrointestinal tract
No full textA variety of speculations about the possible origin and physiological role of the neurohormone melatonin in the gastrointestinal tract exist. However, the experimental evidence supporting any of these theories is not substantial and are missing for humans. We studied the distribution of melatonin which was measured with radioimmunoassay in the following compartments and organs of the human hepatobiliary-gastrointestinal tract: bile (obtained by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography), peripheral venous and portal venous blood (obtained from patients undergoing liver transplantation), endoscopically derived biopsies (mainly consisting of mucosa and submucosa) of stomach, duodenum, large intestine as well as in resected liver tissue. Melatonin concentrations in gastrointestinal mucosa were between 136 +/- 27 pg/100mg (stomach) and 243 +/- 37 pg/100mg (descending colon, each n = 5). Biliary melatonin concentrations (85 +/- 45 pg/ml) correlated well with plasma concentrations (55 +/- 38 pg/ml, each n = 14) and a considerable amount of melatonin (about 51 ng/24 hours) appears to be excreted into the gut via the bile duct. Melatonin concentrations were slightly higher in portal than in peripheral venous blood and also the liver contained higher concentrations of melatonin than the blood. In conclusion the presence and distribution of melatonin in human gut, bile, liver and portal blood and the various reports on modulatory actions of melatonin on gut and liver functions suggest that melatonin may act as a mediator of inter-organ communication between gut and liver.

Physiological and psychological stress responses in adults with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
No full textAccording to self-report and unsystematic observational data adult patients with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder suffer from increased vulnerability to daily life stressors. The present study examined psychological and physiological stress responses in adult AND subjects in comparison to healthy controls under laboratory conditions. Thirty-six subjects (18 patients with DSM-IV ADHD diagnosis, 18 sex- and age-matched healthy controls) underwent the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST; Kirschbaum, C., Pirke, K.-M., Hellhammer, D.H., 1993. The "Trier Social Stress Test" -a tool. for investigating psychobiological stress responses in a laboratory setting. Neuropsychobiology 28, 76-81), a standardized psychosocial stress protocol which contains a stress anticipation phase and a stress phase with a free speech assignment and subsequent performance of a mental arithmetic. Physiological stress measures were salivary cortisol as an indicator of the HPA axis, heart rate (HR), and time- and frequency-domain heart rate variability (HRV) parameters. Subjective stress experience was measured via self-report repeatedly throughout the experimental session. In line with previous theoretical and empirical work in the field of childhood ADHD, it was hypothesized that the AND and control group would exhibit comparable baseline levels in all dependent variables. For AND subjects, we expected attenuated responses of the physiological parameters during anticipation and presence of the standardized stressor, but elevated subjective stress ratings. Hypotheses were confirmed for the baseline condition. Consistent with our assumptions in regard to the psychological stress response, the ADHD group experienced significantly greater subjective stress. The results for the physiological variables were mixed

Melatonin is neuroprotective in experimental Streptococcus pneumoniae meningitis
No full textNeuronal injury in bacterial meningitis is a consequence of the direct toxicity of bacterial components and inflammatory and oxidative mechanisms. Adjunctive therapy with melatonin was investigated in vitro and in experimental meningitis. Cellular damage was reduced by treatment with melatonin in organotypic hippocampal cultures (P < .001) and in human SH-SY5Y cells (P < .01). Rabbits were infected intracisternally with Streptococcus pneumoniae and received either melatonin (20 mg/kg body weight/24 h; n = 12) or saline (n = 11) intravenously. Twelve hours later, all rabbits received ceftriaxone (10 mg/kg body weight/h). The density of apoptotic dentate granule cells was lower in melatonin-treated rabbits (81.8 +/- 52.9 227.5 +/- 127.9 cells/ mm(2); P = .002). The activity of superoxide dismutase in the hippocampal formation was higher (P = .04), and nitrite concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid were lower, after treatment with melatonin (P = .003). Melatonin reduced neuronal injury in vitro and in experimental meningitis, and it may be suitable as adjunctive therapy in human meningitis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
