De-Categorizing Child Abuse - Equally Devastating Acts Require Equally Solicitous Statutes of Limitations

News reports of childhood sexual abuse by Catholic priests initially shocked and subsequently angered the public. Emboldened by the public\u27s reaction toward sexual abusers, survivors attempted to confront their abusers in civil court. Jurisdictions adjudicated these claims if they were brought within two years of reaching the age of majority. Yet, survivors often did not recognize the damage done to them until several years after they reached the age of majority. And by the time they did, the two-year statute of limitations had passed. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, survivors lobbied state legislatures to extend. the time within which they could sue their abusers. Almost all state legislatures responded by extending the statute of limitations well past the age of majority so that survivors had more time to bring their claims. In contrast, few states allow survivors of physical and emotional abuse and neglect the same right. I argue that this legislation should apply to survivors of all forms of child abuse. Recent research dispels the mistaken beliefs that underlie the justifications for the disparate treatment. Given this, extension of the statute of limitations and delayed discovery rule to survivors of all forms of child abuse is necessary. Doing so would improve survivors\u27 health and productivity. Dependence on welfare, disability, unemployment would decrease as a result. Finally, it would send the message that all forms of childhood maltreatment are damaging and worthy of recognition

La investigación titulada aplicación de los juegos cooperativos para desarrollar la socialización en los niños y niñas de 4 años en la I.E. Inicial Leoncio Prado del distrito de Paucarpata, Arequipa-2019, tuvo por objetivo determinar la eficacia de los juegos cooperativos en la mejora de la socialización en los niños y niñas de 4 años en la I.E. Inicial Leoncio Prado del distrito de Paucarpata, Arequipa - 2019. La presente investigación fue de tipo experimental y con un diseño pre experimental cuya muestra estuvo conformada por 24 niños/as, con edades de 4 años. Se aplicó como instrumento una lista de cotejo que nos permitió determinar los niveles de socialización en los niños y niñas de 4 años procediéndose posteriormente con la recolección de los datos, para la interpretación de los mismos en tablas y figuras. Además, los métodos utilizados para la elaboración del presente trabajo de investigación fueron el método científico. Los resultados demostraron cuantitativamente que la aplicación de los juegos cooperativos es efectivo para mejorar la socialización en los niños y niñas de 4 años de edad, esta afirmación se apoya en los resultados de la media que alcanzo el grupo experimental Pre-test 12.083 y Pos-test 17.042 y la validación de la hipótesis con la t de Student fue de 1,7139 para muestras relacionadas para un solo grupo

[Heart ischemia and psychosomatics: the role of stressful events and lifestyles].

Objective: the aim of our study was to evaluate the role of stressful events, lifestyles and various socio-environmental factors in the beginning of ischemic cardiac diseases, together with cardiovascular factors. Materials and methods: 64 patients with recent cardiac ischemia and 64 controls matched 1:1, according to their sex and age, have been evaluated. The study required the filling in of clinico-anamnestic reports and the evaluation of stressful events, using the Holmes Rahe scale. Results: in the 44% of the patients who had a heart ischemia, an emotional striking event occurred few days before, with a 28% incidence of work and family problems. The mean score of the Holmes Rahe Social Readjustment Rating Scale was statistically significantly higher among cases (p<0,05). The percentage of the subjects who experienced a stressful event during the last year was significantly higher among those with an ischemic event even though the heart disease factors were similar in the 2 groups of cases and controls. Conclusions: although the known heart risk factors predispose to ischemic event, our results suggest that stressful and emotional factors play a fundamental role in increasing the risk

Hepatic retransplantation - An analysis of risk factors associated with outcome

Hepatic retransplantation is controversial because the results are inferior to primary transplants and organs are so scarce. To determine the factors that are associated with poor outcome within the first year following retransplantation, we performed a multivariate analysis, using stepwise logistic regression, of 418 hepatic retransplantations performed at a single institution from November 1987 to December 1993. The minimum follow-up was 1 year. Seven variables were found to be independently associated with subsequent graft failure (defined as either patient death or retransplantation): donor age (odds ratio 2.2 for each 10-year increase over age 45, 95% CI 1.3 to 3.7), female donor sex (odds ratio 1.7, 95% CI 1.05 to 2.7), recipient age (odds ratio 1.6 for each 10-year increase over age 45, 95% CI 1.2 to 2.3), need for preoperative mechanical ventilation (odds ratio 1.8, 95% CI 1.1 to 2.9), pretransplant serum creatinine (odds ratio 1.24 for each increase of 1 mg/dl, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.4), pretransplant total serum bilirubin (odds ratio 1.4 for each 10-mg/dl increase over 15 mg/dl, 95% CI 1.1 to 1.8), and the primary immunosuppressant, using tacrolimus as the reference category (odds ratio for cyclosporine-based immunosuppression 3.9, 95% CI 2.3 to 6.8). Although not part of the logistic regression model, the timing of retransplantation was also found to be important, with the overall probability of failure increasing from 0.58 on day 0 to a peak of 0.8 on day 38 and decreasing slowly after that. The implications of these results regarding the appropriateness of retransplantation are discussed
