PURPOSE: To evaluate the incidence and characteristics of exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) in a population-based cohort. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed in Olmsted County, Minnesota, from 2003–2015. Incident ER cases were ascertained through the Rochester Epidemiology Project (REP) medical record linkage system through electronic searches of ICD-9 codes and clinical note text. Population incidence rate was calculated using corresponding calendar-year- and sex specific REP census populations. Descriptive statistics were used. RESULTS: 431 cases in 430 patients met inclusion criteria for rhabdomyolysis; 4.9% of cases (n= 20; males n=18; Caucasian n=17) were ER, with one recurrence. There were no deaths secondary to ER. The age and sex adjusted incidence rate of ER was 1.06 ± 0.24 (95% CI 0.59–1.52) per 100,000 person-years. Endurance activity (n=7), manual labor (n=5), and weight lifting (n=4) were common causes. Complications included kidney injury (n=5), mild electrolyte abnormalities (n=10), elevated transaminases (n=12), and minor electrocardiographic abnormalities (n=4). A majority of patients were hospitalized (n=16) for a median of two days, had mild abnormalities in renal and liver function, and electrolytes; and were discharged without sequelae. CONCLUSION: ER in the civilian population occurs at a much lower incidence than the military population. The most common causes were endurance exercise, manual labor, and weight lifting. The majority of cases were treated conservatively with intravenous fluid resuscitation during a brief hospital stay, and all were discharged without sequela. Only one case of recurrence occurred in this cohort, indicating the recurrence rate was low.

This research has been conducted with the aim of studying the relationship between women's social skills and the child-upbringing styles among married women of 20-55 in the city of Khalkhal. The theoretical framework of this study builds on the ideas of theorists like Durkheim, Mead, Spenser, Coolie and Mannheim. This study applied survey method and the validity of questionnaire was measured through face validity, and its reliability through Cronbach's alpha coefficient which was 0.745 for dependent variables and 0.809 for independent variables. The statistical society of this study consists of married women of 20-55 years age in the city of Khalkhal whose population according to 2012 census is 7504. Out of this number, with the use of Cochrane formula, 365 people were selected as the sample size by multi-stage cluster sampling methodology. For analyzing and interpreting data by the use of descriptive and deductive methods, and by applying SPSS, after preparing matrix table, the data was set in the form of one-dimensional and two-dimensional tables. Findings of the study showed that the more women are skilled sociologically, ethically, emotionally and educationally, the more democratic their child-upbringing style will be; and the less women are skilled sociologically, ethically, emotionally and educationally, the more autocratic or easygoing their child-upbringing style will be.

Suicide prevention is an important public mental health issue that can be significantly brought forward by recent advances in psychological research methods and assessment. The project "TempRes" aims to harness the power of Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to investigate the transdiagnostic risk and resilience factors associated with suicidal ideation drawn from the most recent research in suicide prevention and personality assessment. Participants will comprise the general population (planned: N = 100) and a risk group (patients currently in psychosomatic or psychiatric treatment) (planned: N = 50). After a comprehensive baseline assessment, they will complete up to ten short assessments per day over the course of 10 days at roughly equidistant intervals. In detail, the project examines the interplay of biography (previous suicidal behavior, experiences of childhood maltreatment), individual differences (level of personality functioning), and time-varying factors (entrapment, loneliness, mood) with respect to the emergence and fluctuation of suicidal ideation. There are two main research foci: First, the project will provide an operationalization and empirical verification of a core assumption of the integrated motivational-volitional model of suicide (IMV model). It will test whether the interaction of the time-varying predictors entrapment with loneliness (as a motivational moderator) explains reports of suicidal ideation over time. Second, it will be the first to examine personality functioning (a transdiagnostic, psychodynamically grounded conceptualization of vulnerability to psychological crises over the life span) as a time-invariant predictor of suicidal ideation assessed within an intensive longitudinal study design. The main analyses will be built on linear mixed models. The overarching aim of the project is to gain a better understanding of the psychological dynamics underlying suicidal ideation in different populations by bringing together concepts from different theoretical traditions. This will inform prevention efforts geared toward the general public as well as intervention in clinical populations.

"Samuel Taylor Coleridge is best known as a great poet and literary theorist, but for a period of his life he held real political power, acting as Public Secretary to the British Civil Commissioner in Malta in 1805. Barry Hough and Howard Davis show how Coleridge's actions in this role differ markedly from the idealism he had advocated before taking office--shedding new light on Coleridge's sense of political and legal morality. Meticulously researched and including newly discovered archival materials, Coleridge's Laws provides detailed analysis of the laws and public notices drafted by Coleridge, together with the first published translations of them."--Publisher's description
