Martial Arts Participation, Aggression, and Self-Control: An Examination of the “Gentle Arts.”

The recent emergence of mixed-martial arts (MMA) as a professional sport has led to an increased interest in martial arts in the United States. While the visibility of the violence that constitutes mixed martial arts might be cause of concern, MMA is not indicative of martial arts participation as a whole. The martial arts have become an increasingly popular form of leisure that draws a broad, diverse group of participants. This study explores the relationships between martial arts participation, aggression, and self-control. Using the Buss-Perry Aggression Questionnaire (BPAQ) (1992) and Tangney’s Brief Self-Control Scale (BSCS) (2004), my findings show that compared to non-participants, individuals who participate in martial arts training are less verbally aggressive, less hostile, less angry, and exhibit more self-control. &nbsp

Cerebellar Atrophy Related To Chronic Exposure To Toluene. Case Report.

A 31-year-old woman presented slowly progressing ataxia and neurasthenic symptoms after 14-year occupational exposure to low concentration toluene vapour. Examination disclosed only cerebellar signs. Cognitive functions were normal except moderate visuo-spatial and constructive deficit. CT imaging showed severe pancerebellar atrophy without pathological signs in other brain structures. Two years after she was removed from workplace, CT imaging and ataxia showed no worsening, while visuo-constructive function improved. The authors warn against possible neurotoxic risk associated with this kind of exposure.5290-

Atrofia cerebelar relacionada à exposição ocupacional crônica ao tolueno: relato de caso

A 31-year-old woman presented slowly progressing ataxia and neurasthenic symptoms after 14-year occupational exposure to low concentration toluene vapour. Examination disclosed only cerebellar signs. Cognitive functions were normal except moderate visuo-spatial and constructive deficit CT imaging showed severe pancerebellar atrophy without pathological signs in other brain structures. Two years after she was removed from workplace, CT imaging and ataxia showed no worsening, while visuo-constructive function improved. The authors warn against possible neurotoxic risk associated with this kind of exposure.Uma mulher de 31 anos desenvolveu síndrome cerebelar e neurastênica, de evolução lentamente progressiva, após 14 anos de exposição ocupacional a vapores de tolueno em baixas concentrações. Os únicos achados do exame neurológico e neuropsicológico foram sinais cerebelares (severos) e déficit visuo-espacial e práxico-construcional (moderado). A neuroimagem tomográfica mostrava acentuada atrofia pancerebelar, com preservação das outras estruturas cerebrais. Dois anos após interrompida a exposição, a ataxia e a neuroimagem (TC) estavam inalteradas, enquanto a função visuo-construcional havia parcialmente melhorado. Os autores chamam a atenção para o possível risco neurotóxico relacionado a esse tipo de exposição, numa tentativa de prevenção de casos semelhantes.909

Barriers to Civilian and Familial Acclimation for Returning Veterans

Reintegration is a hard process for any returning service member to go through. For a number of veterans reintegration into communities and families is a tumultuous time of adjustment where many barriers must be faced. Some of these barriers include relationship stability, employment barriers, and physical and mental challenges. This paper examines those barriers as well as the services, treatments and interventions that currently exist. Also, this paper examines the need for those services to be assessed so that services and programs can better meet the needs of returning veterans who are trying to reintegrate into their communities and families
