  Journal of Psychological Science and Research  - (JPsSR) |  Stephy Publishers Primary Mental Health Care Part 2: Three European Primary Mental Health Care Examples as Basis for Change to the Irish System  Abstract The successes and limitations of primary mental health care systems in three countries outside of Ireland are examined in order to inform potential change for the Irish primary mental health care system. Systems currently at work within Scotland, England, and the Netherlands are outlined, all of which employ versions of the “stepped-care” approach to primary care. It is acknowledged that Ireland is attempting to modify primary care to include the stepped-care approach. However, there are significant limitations to the current Irish system. With the Scottish, English, and Dutch systems in mind, an alternative vision of primary mental health care for Ireland is suggested.

  Journal of Psychological Science and Research  - (JPsSR) |  Stephy Publishers Abstract Primary mental health care is an evolving system, in need of regular revision and requiring innovative and creative adjustments in order to provide the public with an easily accessible and appropriate level and type of service, based on best practice and evidence. This paper is the first in a series of three exploring primary mental health care. The Irish model of care, ‘Counselling in Primary Care’, is presented as well as a number of short-comings associated with that model. The short-comings include eligibility criteria governing access, limitations of service as well as waiting lists; and the medicalization of service delivery. Keywords: Mental health, Counselling, Primary care Introduction Acknowledging the need to update Irish mental health policy and service delivery in 2003, the Department of Health and Children (DoHC) commissioned a national policy framework to guide the modernizatio

  Journal of Psychological Science and Research  - (JPsSR) |  Stephy Publishers Abstract With the killing of George Floyd in 2020 and the subsequent focus on black existence, itis perhaps timely to revisit a previous historical period – the 1970s which saw theemergence of the civil rights movement and the transformation of black consciousness and identity.Both psychosocial and existential theories highlight the relationship between context and the development of identity. Drawing on the work of Erikson, Cross describes stages of identity development from negro to black which he originally related to the historical context of the black consciousness period of the 1970s but later, developed into a tool to measure black identity. This model depicts identity as developing in fixed stages with objective and measurable characteristics. The black existential approach focuses on the construction of identity within a context shaped by an individual’s experiences. Black existential philosophy ai

  Journal of Psychological Science and Research  - (JPsSR) |  Stephy Publishers Abstract The objective of the present study was to explore and describe the influence of a proposal that returns to Problem Based Learning for the application arithmetic principles in the solution of problems in sixth grade students of primary education. Eighty-six of sixth grade students participated with an average age of 11.0 years. The intervention strategy was carried out in nine sessions lasting approximately one hour each. The results in general, do not show statistically significant differences in the performance of the execution in the resolution of problems between pre-test and post-test conditions, however, it was observed through the students' report that they had experienced knowledge acquisition based on the content of the intervention.

  Journal of Psychological Science and Research - (JPsSR) | Stephy Publishers The aims of this paper are as follows: 1.     1. To put Hearts & Minds on the map as a key approach to organisational change. 2.     2. To explain the underlying mechanism of Hearts & Minds. 3.     3. To show that Hearts & Minds can be equally successfully deployed for organisational change in the commercial sector. 4.     4. To explain how Hearts & Minds achieves a higher level of permanence compared with other approaches. The paper traces the military origins of Hearts & Minds from the  Malayan Emergency  and the  Borneo Campaign  through to the final version in  Operation Storm . The method centres around working within the values of the target audience, focusing on the needs of that audience and mimicking the military model. The results from the commercial adaptation are equally reliable as in the military model and permanence of the transformation is equally present. The

  Modern Research in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery - (MRPRS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Introduction: We are living a paradigm shift in orthognathic surgery. Several tools and technological advances are being implemented to help improve surgical experience and to offer better functional and aesthetical results. Virtual surgical planning is a revolutionary tool which helps us design the surgical plan preoperatively and establish a surgical protocol specifically designed for that patient. In this study, our goal is to validate the predictability of virtual surgical planning in orthognathic surgery, comparing the final results with the virtual plan. Material and methods: We performed an ICP based super imposition of 3D models of the virtual planning preoperatively designed and the 3D model of the postoperative CBCT using free software (Slicer) in patients who underwent bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. The results of the super imposition were saved on the postoperative model and pr

Following a 4 hour fasting, while the patient had a blood glucose level of 152 mg/dL, 303 MBq (8.2 mCi) 18F-FDG was given i.v. after 60 min, images were taken from the calvarium to the soles of the feet in 3D mode to be 1 min per bed. PET-CT imaging demonstrated a subcarinal 1 cm lymphadenopaty (SUVmax: 10.42) and paraosephageal metastatic lympadenopaty (12x22 mm/ SUVmax: 20.68) at mediastinal region. In addition, an 32x26 mm mass compatible with primary malignancy (SUVmax: 20.14) was detected anteromedial section of gallbladder. An approximately 8x9 cm hypermetabolic mass wa

  SOJ Pharmaceutical Sciences - (SOJPS)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Piroxicam is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug used in the treatment of osteo arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, classified in the Bio pharmaceutics Drug Classification system as a Class II drug because it has low solubility and high permeability. It demonstrates a slow and gradual absorption via the oral route and has a long half-life of elimination, rendering a prolonged therapeutic action and a delayed onset of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. Thus, an attempt is made to formulate piroxicam fast disintegrating tablet so that it helps to render faster onset of anti-inflammatory and analgesic effect. To increase the solubility of piroxicam solid dispersion method is opted in the present investigation. Study proposes the use of PVPk30 to prepare solid dispersion of piroxicam and comparison of its in-vitro dissolution with pure piroxicam. Fast Dissolving tablets can be prepared by conve

  SOJ Complementary and Emergency Medicine - (SOJCEM) | Stephy Publishers Abstract Spontaneous epistaxis in patients with COVID-19 can represent a clinical challenge with respect to both the risk of contamination and the treatment options. Epistaxis (nosebleed) is a common condition overall but is relatively rare in adults and older patients. We herein present the data of 25 patients with COVID-19 who developed spontaneous epistaxis while hospitalized at Centro Médico Naval from March 2020 to April 2021. All patients received low-molecular-weight heparin during their hospital stay and required supplementary oxygen therapy either by a nasal cannula, continuous positive airway pressure or ventilatory mechanical support. In total, 12100 patients with laboratory confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were admitted to our hospital unit from 1 March to 31 April 2021. We only found 25 patients with epistaxis, All patients underwent anterior rhinoscopy. In all patients, the bleeding site was id

Keywords:  Otoplasty, Resection of the shell, Neo antihelixplasty. Purpose The surgical correction of protruding ears is intended to correct the partial deletion or total agenesis of the anti helix, the widening of the shell when it’s present to an abnormal degree, and skull ear angle that is increased in between 45 and 60 degrees (less is desirable). Operative Approach First, we deliniate, in the mastoid ear notch a zone to be resected in the desired shape, from the upper pole to near the lobe (Figure 2). Resection of the shell can go from the antihelix to the entry of

 A Simplified Overview of the Current Non-Surgical Treatment of Brain Tumor Patients with Special Emphasis on Its Complications. A Much Needed Contemporary Review Especially for Neurosurgeons SOJ Neurology and Neuroscience - (SOJNN)| Stephy Publishers Abstract Brain tumors are complex entities with facts as numerous as stars in our sky, uncountable. They exist and thus every treating physician and surgeon happens to come across it. We try to put major contemporary practices and facts in a single bucket from learned skills of neurology and oncology tradition and things we received as feedback from our patients in clinical settings. Purpose of this work is to refresh your knowledge and preparedness for seeing patients with brain cancer. Brain tumors are molecularly heterogeneous and their features depend upon size, site, and genetic make-up of tumor, aggressive growth, and adjacent structures. Complications and their management are very challenging. This article will comfortably sail yo

  Current Investigations in Clinical and Medical Research - (CICMR)| Stephy Publishers Abstract The breathing mechanism has existed since our birth and accompanies us throughout life. Breathing is an important function in the regulatory process of numerous body functions; its optimization can bring many health benefits. However, many children are unaware of the mechanisms of breathing, namely abdominal or diaphragmatic breathing, and in addition to this, many breathe normally through their mouths. The present study aimed to verify the influence of a short-term breathing exercise program on children's breathing capacity. Twenty-one children aged between 8 and 10 years were selected, from this selection two groups were formed, the control group (CG) with 10 children and the experimental group (EG) with 11. Through a spirometric test, an assessment of breathing capacity (ABC) was carried out for both groups. The GE participated in a program of breathing exercises (BEP) lasting 15 t
