    No full text
    Professor Naoki Kasuga is the editor of the Anthropology as critique of reality. He has worked at Hitotsubashi University since 2010, when he moved from a position at Osaka University. In many ways Kasuga is a unique figure in Japanese anthropology. He is the author of a series of experimental and highly divergent works, and he was one of the translators of Writing culture into Japanese. This interview weaves together a discussion of Kasuga's own trajectory with a story of some broader transformations in Japanese anthropology that have lead to current explorations of ontology

    Pharmacologic goals in interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome

    No full text
    During the last 30 years, a number of treatments and management algorithms have been developed and applied in the treatment of patients with Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Painful Syndrome (IC/BPS), and many behavioral, dietary, interventional, pharmacologic and surgical therapies have been developed in the attempt to control the disease and to offer substantial benefits to the affected patients. Nevertheless, the complexity of the disease in terms of aetiology and pathogenesis still has made it difficult to induce significant and long-lasting benefits for any kind of these treatments. In addition, few well designed, randomised controlled trials have been conducted until now on different treatment modalities, and this still precludes the development of evidence-based management strategies. Indeed, the majority of pharmacological agents used to treat patients with IC/BPS are still off label. In this respect, the Interstitial Cystitis Data Base study noted >180 treatment modalities for IC/BPS, with poor results in the majority of cases [1]. To date, there is general agreement on the use of some agents, orally or intravesically administered, as indicated by the EAU guidelines on chronic pelvic pain [2] and the AUA Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Interstitial Cystitis/Bladder Pain Syndrom

    A FUNÇÃO DA ESCRITA PARA O AUTISTA NAOKI HIGASHIDA

    No full text
    The present article starts a study that sought to understand a function of the writing for the author Naoki Higashida from his book "What makes me jump". The hypothesis raised for a writing makes possible a treatment of the voice and a stability of the signs, attending to the anxieties of the autism immutability. Starting from a psychoanalytic look on the voice and the autistic subjects, they were studied as supports of authors related to the subject, emphasizing as the supports of Higashida in its singularity in its relation with the writing. It was possible to conclude that the voice, as object, is something extracted by the autistic in its constitution, that is, the autist retains its voice. Higashida\u27s writing favors the sending of data to the outside world, since the work can be done, as well as the polysemy and the direct addressing of the voice to the other, not having the marked presence of this one. The continuity is once, the support by means of the double, the writing facilitates the communication with the letters, the indices and symbols, the access to the criteria of immobility sought by the author, besides enabling the connection and the social insertion.O presente artigo parte de um estudo que buscou compreender a função da escrita para o autista Naoki Higashida a partir do seu livro “O que me faz pular”. Diante da dificuldade que a voz falada apresenta para o autor, a hipótese levantada foi que a escrita viabiliza um tratamento da voz e a estabilidade dos signos, atendendo aos anseios de imutabilidade do autista. Partindo de um olhar psicanalítico sobre a voz e os sujeitos autistas, foram estudadas as contribuições de diversos autores relacionados ao tema, ressaltando as contribuições de Higashida em sua singularidade na sua relação com a escrita. Foi possível concluir que a voz, enquanto objeto a, não é algo extraído pelo autista em sua constituição, não favorecendo o endereçamento da voz ao outro, a partir da entrada na linguagem e, assim, o autista retém sua voz. A escrita de Higashida favorece à ele se conectar ao mundo externo, uma vez que possibilita o trabalho com signos, evitando polissemias e endereçamento direto da voz ao Outro, não havendo a presença marcante deste. A hipótese é confirmada uma vez que, sustentada pelo recurso ao duplo, a escrita proporciona tranquilidade ao lidar com letras, números e símbolos, atende aos critérios de imutabilidade buscado pelo autista, além de possibilitar a conexão e inserção social por meio dela

    Um estudo psicanalítico sobre a escrita autobiográfica de dois autores autistas: Daniel Tammet e Naoki Higashida

    O objetivo desta pesquisa é refletir sobre a escrita autobiográfica produzida por autistas, por meio da qual relatam suas experiências e maneiras particulares de estar no mundo, as dificuldades encontradas na aquisição da linguagem, a apropriação da voz e o encontro com os outros. O eixo do estudo parte da leitura de duas obras autobiográficas: Nascido em um dia azul. Por dentro da mente de um autista extraordinário (2007), de Daniel Tammet, e O que me faz pular (2014), de Naoki Higashida. Daniel Tammet é um autista de alto funcionamento, com grandes habilidades matemáticas e capacidades consideráveis para aprender línguas, e descreve seu quadro autístico, seu pensamento alicerçado em imagens, o interesse por números, especialmente o número pi, e sua relação muito particular com a língua. Naoki Higashida é um adolescente que revela suas emoções, sentimentos e seu mundo permeado de sensibilidade e poesia, narrando vivências de sofrimento e angústia por não conseguir se comunicar com as pessoas; é um garoto que apresenta dificuldades para falar, porém, por meio da escrita, consegue transmitir sua singularidade e a maneira que encontrou para estabelecer laços sociais. Este estudo possui como fundamentação teórica e clínica a psicanálise lacaniana e procura destacar que essas produções autobiográficas ampliam e expandem a compreensão sobre os autismos. Os escritos autobiográficos revelam um saber próprio e, desse modo, contribuem para a clínica psicanalítica, possuindo importantes implicações no campo socialThe objective of this research is to reflect on the autobiographical and poetic writing produced by autistic subjects whereby they report their particular experiences and ways of being in the world. They especially describe the difficulties encountered in language acquisition and in voice appropriation. The focus of the study comes from the reading of two autobiographical works, initially ties Daniel Tammet's work “Born on a Blue Day” (2007) will be highlighted. He is a high-functioning autistic with great mathematical skills and considerable language learning capability. The author describes his autistic characteristic, his thoughts based on images, his interest in numbers and the particular relationship with language. Later the book “What makes me jump” (2014) by Naoki Higashida, a teenager who reveals his emotions, feelings and his world permeated with sensitivity and poetry. The author narrates experiences of suffering and anguish for not being able to communicate with people. Naoki is a boy who does not speak, but it is through writing that he can transmit his singularity and the way he found to establish social. This study has as its theoretical and clinical foundation in the lacanian psychoanalysis and seeks to give focus on the fact that these productions broaden and expand the understanding of autisms. The autobiographical writings reveal their own knowledge, and thus contribute to the psychoanalytic clinic, and have important implications in the social fiel

    Time-Dependent Alterations of Select Genes in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetic Rat Bladder

    OBJECTIVES To investigate time-course changes in the expression of select genes and extracellular matrix proteins in the bladder of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes , so as to examine the mechanisms underlying changes in mechanical properties of the bladder due to diabetic cystopathy. METHODS Female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with streptozotocin (65 mg/kg). Rats that were fed with 5% sucrose in drinking water served as diuretic controls, in addition to normal control rats. At the end of 2, 4, and 8 weeks, total ribonucleic acid (RNA) isolated from the detrusor layer of the bladders was reverse transcribed, and then complementary deoxyribonucleic acid was amplified with polymerase chain reaction primer sets for type I Collagen, type III Collagen, tropoelastin, and transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-beta-1). Collagen and elastin contents of the bladders were quantified with commercially available assays. RESULTS Both diabetic and diuretic rat bladders exhibited significantly (P <0.05) lower expression of type I Collagen and TGF-beta-1 messenger RNA (mRNA) compared with normal controls at all time points tested. In contrast, downregulation of type III Collagen mRNA expression in both diabetic and diuretic groups was seen at 4 and 8 weeks. Furthermore, tropoelastin mRNA expression in the diabetic rat bladders was , compared with normal and diuretic rats, significantly (P <0.05) greater at 2 weeks. Both diabetic and diuretic rat bladders exhibited significantly (P <0.05) decreased Collagen and increased elastin protein content at 2 and 8 weeks. CONCLUSIONS The results of the present study suggest that increases in compliance of the bladders in diabetic cystopathy result not only from diuresis-driven reduction of Collagen synthesis but also from increased elastin synthesis
