Statistical findings of time-based stable human aura
Aura is an electromagnetic field located outside living things which has a number of vibrational energy waves in it. For human being, this vibrating energy waves are related to energy level of the mind, the individual’s emotion and physical. The measurement of this energy can be made indirectly usingbiomedical devices like biosensor instead of direct snapping by optical camera. The aura pattern of the individual involved can be monitored by video capturing of the output produced by the device. Since the subject’s feelings affect aura readings, his emotion will be put to a level as low as possible through a simplemeditation. The data however, will be captured even before meditation to see the changes in the aura pattern and to find if there is any convergence to a stable or a final stage aura. This is what we define as the pure or characteristic aura of the individual. The stable or pure aura might be a little different fromsession to session but within the statistically accepted range. A sample of 10 students regardless of gender had been taken their aura color and analyzed at solar plexus chakra. The personal details of them had also been taken. Some repeated and stable aura images had been observed. It is found that almost everyone has a stable aura regardless of how unstable his aura normally. In general, good students tend to have a more stable aura compared to those with lower academic performanc
Long-acting antipsychotic drugs for the treatment of schizophrenia: use in daily practice from naturalistic observations
Night eating syndrome with morbid obesity and dysthymia: A case report - A psychobiological approach
The traditional physical and cosmetic-centered model without paying serious attention on
the underlying psychosocial issues of care are ill suited to successful treatment outcome of
obesity. The objective of this article is to report a case of a retired Malay army sergeant
who presented with night eating syndrome (NES) with morbid obesity and dysthymia, and
to discuss the psychobiological aspect of the case including to evaluate the effectiveness
of the combination treatment of pharmacotherapy and cognitive behavior therapy
alongwith diet counseling. The diagnosis was made by using the Structured Clinical
Interview Diagnosis (SCID) for DSM-III-R diagnosis and the severity of depression was
assessed by Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale. The patient’s body mass index was 45,
He was found to have dysthymia and the Hamilton Depressive Rating Scale score was 13.
We found that the combination of pharmacotherapy, cognitive behavior therapy and
nutritional education with the help of the physician proved to be effective in treating morbid
obesity with NES and Dysthymi
Coping styles and clinical factors in relation to quality of life among patients with schizophrenia
This is a cross sectional study examining quality of life in relation to coping styles among
patients with Schizophrenia (N=92) in remission, from June 2002 to December 2002.
Remission state is determined by Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS). The psychiatric
diagnosis was made by treating psychiatrist using the Clinical Interview Schedule for the
DSM-IV Diagnosis. They are subsequently asked to complete demographic and clinical
data questionnaire and followed by 36-item short-form health survey (SF-36) of the
Medical Outcome Study (MOS) for the assessment of quality of life and the Coping
Inventory for Stressful Situation (CISS). The QOL in term of overall mental health among patients with schizophrenia was significantly and positively associated with ethnic group
(p<0.05), employment status, type of antipsychotic (p<0.05) and number of admission
(p<0.05). Being Chinese and employed are associated with better QOL in term of overall
mental health. The commonly used coping style among patients with Schizophrenia is the
distraction component of avoidance-oriented coping. The task-oriented coping was
significantly and positively correlated with quality of life in term of mental component.
There was a negative correlation between the emotion-oriented coping and all the domain
of the quality of life. In conclusion, better quality of life is positively correlated with taskoriented
coping and inversely related with emotion-oriented copin
Stress and coping styles: the experience of nursing staff working at two public hospitals in Klang Valley, Malaysia
Although stress among nursing staff is common, adopting effective coping styles helps in minimizing the problem. The objectives of this study were to compare stress level among nursing staff working in the above disciplines, to identify common coping style used and to determine the relationship between stress and coping styles. This cross-sectional study involved 106 nursing staff who were universally sampled from psychiatric wards and emergency departments in two public hospitals in the Klang Valley. Self-rated questionnaires i.e. Stress Arousal Checklist (SACL) and Coping inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS) were used to assess stress levels and coping styles respectively. There was insignificant difference in terms of stress level between the two nursing staffs. Stress dimension of SACL between the psychiatry (6.53 + 3.18, p=0.372) and emergency (6.02 + 2.67, p=0.372) nursing staffs were insignificant. Arousal dimension of SACL was also insignificant between psychiatry (8.60 + 1.70, p=0.372) and emergency (9.19 + 1.61, p=0.07) nursing staff. Task coping was the most commonly used coping styles among the psychiatry (55.36 + 9.85) and emergency (57.73 + 9.87) nursing staff in this study. Stress dimension of SACL showed weak significant relationship with task coping (r=-0.313, p=0.001) and emotion coping (r=0.292, p=0.001). Arousal dimension of SACL was also found to have weak significant relationship with task coping (r=0.271, p=0.003) and emotion coping (r=-0.251, p=0.005). While nursing was found to be a stressful profession, a significant relationship between stress and coping styles allows intervention to enable better adaptation to the stressful working environmen
