Metacognitieve therapie voor de obsessieve-compulsieve stoornis
De obsessieve-compulsieve stoornis (OCS) is een veelvoorkomende en invaliderende stoornis. Cognitieve gedragstherapie (CGT) in de vorm van exposure met responspreventie (ERP) is de psychologische behandeling van eerste voorkeur. Ondanks de aangetoonde werkzaamheid van ERP is verbetering van de effectivitei
AgapeZ1: a Large Amplification Microlensing Event or an Odd Variable Star Towards the Inner Bulge of M31
AgapeZ1 is the brightest and the shortest duration microlensing candidate
event found in the Agape data. It occured only 42" from the center of M31. Our
photometry shows that the half intensity duration of the event6 is 4.8 days and
at maximum brightness we measure a stellar magnitude of R=18.0 with B-R=0.80
mag color. A search on HST archives produced a single resolved star within the
projected event position error box. Its magnitude is R=22.Comment: 4 pages with 5 figure
A Case of Colovesical Fistula Induced by Sigmoid Diverticulitis
Colonic diverticulosis has continuously increased, noticeably left-sided diseases, in Korea. A colovesical fistula is an uncommon complication of diverticulitis, and its most common cause is diverticular disease. Confirmation of its presence generally depends on clinical findings, such as pneumaturia and fecaluria. The primary aim of a diagnostic workup is not to observe the fistular tract itself but to find the etiology of the disease so that an appropriate therapy can be initiated. We present here the case of a 79-year-old man complaining of pneumaturia and fecaluria. On abdomen and pelvis CT, the patient was diagnosed as having a colovesical fistula due to sigmoid diverticulitis. After division of the adhesion between the sigmoid colon and the bladder, the defect of the bladder wall was repaired by simple closure. The colonic defect was treated with a segmental resection, including the rectosigmoid junction. The patient is doing well at 6 months after the operation and shows no evidence of recurrence of the fistula
