Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a leading cause of death and disability in the US, particularly in those under age 40, and ~2% of the US population is living with a post-TBI associate syndrome and disorders, based on CDC reports. It is recently concerned that individuals living with TBI take an increased risk for developing several long-term health problems. An early study found that any history of brain injury increases the risk of developing Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) and other dementia, and severe head trauma doubles the risk of developing AD dementia [1, 2]. Also, there is evidence that TBI may lower the age of onset of any dementia or AD [3], particularly in people with high rates of TBI, such as US and other veterans [4]. Today, it has been accepted that TBI may cause chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), and some researchers have..... ReadMore

The present work analyzes the clinical and psychopathological implications of hyperhistaminosis, starting from the general consideration that, despite the recent scarcity of research on the subject under examination, the correlation of hyperhistaminosis with different physical and psychic pathologies emerges and the direct relationship between body and mind and how these are interconnected. Hyperhistaminosis besides being involved in immune, neurodegenerative, systemic vascular, cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic, kidney and skin diseases, is directly connected to a large part of mood disorders, depression, obsessive disorder, phobias, and various personality disorders, even if it is not yet clear whether the role of histamine is the main factor or cause that exacerbates the symptoms, also taking into account the neurobiological and genetic corr.....

As a means to short-term adaptation/long-term demise, the human mind is a classic example of the “Neurotic Paradox” in action as it promotes behavioral patterns which are subject to immediate, short-term reinforcement although the long-term results will be decidedly negative[1]. A related drawback is that short-term errors may be hard to overcome in the long run[2] if the immediate decision sets one off on a bad behavioral pathway which becomes progressively more and more difficult to escape from later. Addictions to drugs or “Pleasure” would be commonplace examples of this basic physio/ psychological principle of learning and life[3]. As philosopher Honoré de Balzac noted, “Pleasure is like certain drugs, to continue to obtain the same result, one must double the dose, and death or brutalization is contained in the last one”.....

Robert Rosenthal demarcated Pygmalion effect as ‘’the phenomenon whereby one person’s behavior comes to serve as a self-fulfilling prophecy’’ Research studies byRosenthal and Jacobsen (1968), amongst others, illustrates that the expectations of a teacher has a greater influence on the performance of the student. Superior expectations influence performance. Positive reinforcement can produce good results. Individuals who expect more, get more. Optimistic expectations has an impact on the performance positively, besides negative expectations affect the performance negatively...... ReadMore

The global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‑19) is caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS‑CoV‑2) and was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. Limited data suggests children are low risk and get less severe COVID-19 infection. As the outbreak of COVID-19 continues to spread, children with special health care needs may be at increased risk for complications. The forced school closure early in the year may have allowed for social distancing and protected children at risk from exposure to the virus. As the schools prepare to open in person schooling, the parents and caregivers of children with epilepsy are faced with unchartered and challenging decisions about how their child will return to school. When deciding between in-person and virtual learning, limited data is available for parent..... ReadMore

Compressive pneumocephalus is a rare condition, most often secondary to head trauma or surgery. We report post-operative compressive pneumocephalus in a patient who underwent primary surgery for anterior clinoid meningioma complicated by CSF leakage treated by lumbar spinal drainage. CT scan clearly demonstrates a compressive pneumocephalus with the sign of the Mount Fuji. The patient was treated with definite bed rest and plenty of fluid replacement with good outcome. Compressive pneumocephalus is a serious, infrequent complication and a possible cause of postoperative worsening. Medical treatment combining highly inspired oxygen therapy and rehydration are sufficient to correct the condition...... ReadMore

In 1934, Jacob L. Moreno, M.D. published his ground-breaking book Who Shall Survive?Foundations of Sociometry, Group Psychotherapy, and Sociodrama. Dr. Moreno was a contemporary of Freud, Adler and Jung pioneering the study of social dynamics and the therapeutic power of “live and therapy in action.” Today, we have a challenge that few are prepared for. We are an extremely mobile civilization with interaction with others and environments that others contact. If one person touches the handle to enter a store, how many other people touch that handle? If you count the number of people one person is within two feet of in a 24-hour period, how many would that be? One of the saving graces of most infections is that there is a short incubation period...... ReadMore
