Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS): reliability, convergent and discriminative validity in young Italian adults.
No full textBACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale (S-STS) is a patient self-report or clinician-administered rating scale that tracks spontaneous and treatment-emergent suicidal ideation and behaviors. This study set out to evaluate the reliability, convergent and divergent validity of the S-STS in a sample of college students, a population with a high risk of completed and attempted suicide.
METHODS: Cross-sectional, survey design. Participants (303 undergraduate students; males: 42%) completed several measures assessing psychological distress (General Health Questionnaire; GHQ); self-esteem (Rosenberg Self Esteem Scale; RSES); social support (Modified Social Support Survey; MOSSS); and suicidal behavior, including ideation and attempts (S-STS).
RESULTS: Both internal consistency and test-retest stability were excellent for the S-STS-global score. The S-STS subscale on suicide ideation also showed good reliability, while the subscale on suicidal behavior showed some inconsistency at retest. Convergent and divergent validity of S-STS was confirmed. All S-STS items loaded on a single factor, which had an excellent fit for the unidimensional model, thus justifying the use of the S-STS as a screening tool. In a mediation model, self-esteem and social support explained 45% of the effects of psychological distress on suicide ideation and behavior as measured by the S-STS-global score.
CONCLUSIONS: This study provided promising evidence on the convergent, divergent, internal consistency and test-retest stability of the Sheehan Suicidality Tracking Scale. The cross-sectional design and lack of measures of hopelessness and helplessness prevent any conclusion about the links of suicidal behavior with self-esteem and social support

Partial Sheehans Syndrome with Primary Hypothyroidism- A Delayed Diagnosis
No full textIn Sheehan;s syndrome hypopituitarism is caused by the ischemic damage to the pituitary following postpartum hemorrhage and vascular collapse. In Sheehan;s syndrome secondary hypothyroidism occurs. We report here a case of partial Sheehans syndrome with primary hypothyroidism with high anti thyroid antibody titre which is an uncommon association.J MEDICINE July 2017; 18 (2) : 115-118</jats:p
A rare cause of pancytopenia: Sheehan′s syndrome
No full textSheehan′s syndrome is characterized by varying degrees of anterior pituitary dysfunction due to postpartum ischemic necrosis of the pituitary gland after massive bleeding. Pancytopenia is rarely observed in patients with Sheehan′s syndrome. We present a patient of Sheehan′s syndrome presenting with pancytopenia. Complete recovery of pancytopenia was observed after the treatment. Clinicians should consider the possibility of hypopituitarism as a cause of pancytopenia and indicate a series of hormonal examinations. A high index of suspicion is required in women with pancytopenia for possible treatable cause like Sheehan′s syndrome
Invisible Hands. Self-Organization and the Eighteenth Century
No full textWhy is the world orderly, and how does this order come to be? Human beings inhabit a multitude of apparently ordered systemsnatural, social, political, economic, cognitive, and otherswhose origins and purposes are often obscure. In the eighteenth century, older certainties about such orders, rooted in either divine providence or the mechanical operations of nature, began to fall away. In their place arose a new appreciation for the complexity of things, a new recognition of the world s disorder and randomness, new doubts about simple relations of cause and effectbut with them also a new ability to imagine the world s orders, whether natural or manmade, as self-organizing. If large systems are left to their own devices, eighteenth-century Europeans increasingly came to believe, order will emerge on its own without any need for external design or direction. In Invisible Hands, Jonathan Sheehan and Dror Wahrman trace the many appearances of the language of self-organization in the eighteenth-century West. Across an array of domains, including religion, society, philosophy, science, politics, economy, and law, they show how and why this way of thinking came into the public view, then grew in prominence and arrived at the threshold of the nineteenth century in versatile, multifarious, and often surprising forms. Offering a new synthesis of intellectual and cultural developments, Invisible Hands is a landmark contribution to the history of the Enlightenment and eighteenth-century culture
Evidence from near-death experience for the existence of consciousness outside the brain
No full textThis paper discusses near-death experience in terms of evidence for consciousness existing outside the brain. The number of near-death experiences has significantly increased over the past few decades due to the advances in defibrillation and CPR techniques. This has made it possible to do Prospective studies in hospitals in an attempt to correlate psychological, physiological and pharmacological causes for near-death experience. Four arguments for evidence of consciousness outside the brain are reviewed and examples from Retrospective studies are given. They are the consistency, reality, paranormal and transformation elements. Retrospective studies provide evidence that near-death experiences have similar elements regardless of demographic data, but the details of the events are not verifiable. Prospective studies carried out in hospitals in Great Britain, America and the Netherlands can confirm through medical records and witnesses that cardiac arrest survivors have conscious experiences during unconsciousness when their brain is dysfunctional. Examples from these studies provide evidence that consciousness exits outside the brain. However, the dying brain hypothesis and the hallucination hypothesis are also looked at as an explanation for these experiences.M.A.L.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Marianne S Sheeha
