RESUMO

Este artigo discute a importância de os analistas refletirem sobre sua própria vulnerabilidade narcísica, que se revela por meio dos sentimentos contratransferenciais provocados na relação terapêutica. Abordar essas feridas específicas e sua origem, em nossas histórias pessoais, é uma tarefa importante que os analistas precisam realizar, para evitar o enactment inconsciente, durante o encontro terapêutico. As projeções idealizadas dos pacientes contribuem para que o analista permaneça no papel de "bom terapeuta", o que pode ser em detrimento do crescimento psíquico e da transformação de ambos, na relação diádica. Reconhecer nossas limitações e dinâmicas de sombra pode colaborar para uma maior sintonia com o campo intersubjetivo entre analista e paciente.

This article discusses the importance of analysts reflecting on their own narcissistic vulnerability which is revealed through countertransference feelings provoked in the therapeutic relationship. Addressing these specific wounds and their origin in our personal histories is an important task that analysts need to undertake in order to avoid unconscious enactment during the therapeutic encounter. Idealized projections from patients contribute towards analysts remaining in the role of "good therapist", which may be to the detriment of psychic growth and transformation of both persons in the dyadic relationship. Acknowledging our limitations and shadow dynamics can contribute towards greater attunement to the intersubjective field between analyst and patient.

RESUMO

Mexico is the center of origin and diversification of domesticated chile (Capsicum annuum L.). Chile is conceived and employed as both food and medicine in Mexico. In this context, the objective of this paper is to describe and analyze the cultural role of chile as food and as medicine for the body and soul in different cultures of Mexico. To write it, we relied on our own fieldwork and literature review. Our findings include a) the first matrix of uses of chile across 67 indigenous and Afrodescendants cultures within Mexican territory and b) the proposal of a new model of diversified uses of chile. Traditional knowledge, uses and management of chile as food and medicine form a continuum (i.e., are not separated into distinct categories). The intermingled uses of Capsicum are diversified, deeply rooted and far-reaching into the past. Most of the knowledge, uses and practices are shared throughout Mexico. On the other hand, there is knowledge and practices that only occur in local or regional cultural contexts. In order to fulfill food, medicinal or spiritual functions, native communities use wild/cultivated chile.

RESUMO

Mexican immigrants have a rich history of traditional healers. This analysis describes the conditions for which Mexican immigrants seek treatment from sobadores, and delineates factors that influence seeking treatment from a sobador or a biomedical doctor. This systematic qualitative analysis uses interview data collected with 24 adult Mexican immigrants to North Carolina who had been treated by a sobador in the previous 2 years. Immigrants are engaged in medical pluralism, seeking care from sobadores and biomedical doctors based on the complaint and patient's age. Using a hierarchy of resort, adults seek treatment from sobadores for musculoskeletal pain not involving a fracture. Doctors are first consulted when treating children; sobadores are consulted if doctors do not provide culturally appropriate treatment. Mexican immigrants seek care that addresses their culturally determined health concerns. The need to improve access to culturally competent biomedical health care for vulnerable immigrant populations continues.

RESUMO

Latino immigrants to the New Settlement area of the southeastern United States face structural and cultural obstacles to accessing the conventional health care system, and come from areas with long traditions of medical treatments from healers without professional training or licensure. Little is known about the use of such healers in New Settlement areas. This study focuses on sobadores, healers who use manipulative therapy. Goals were to describe sobadores practicing in North Carolina, including their background, conditions treated, and their understanding of the pathophysiology of their patients' conditions and how their treatments work. The paper also describes who sobadores treat and sobadores' understanding of where their treatment fits into patients' pursuit of relief from symptoms. This focused ethnography draws from in-depth, semi-structured interviews conducted with six sobadores from Mexico practicing in North Carolina. These sobadores appear to meet both structural and cultural needs for healthcare in the immigrant Latino population.

RESUMO

La historia de la medicina cubana ha transitado por diferentes etapas y ha tenido sus orígenes en el hechicero-curandero, también llamado Behique, quien fue el iniciador de los procederes terapéuticos en las luchas de los aborígenes contra el invasor. Esta actividad se desarrolló en condiciones difíciles por los médicos que participaron en las guerras independentistas como integrantes de la sanidad militar mambisa. Esta tradición también estuvo presente en los galenos del ejército rebelde y al triunfar la revolución en 1959 se incrementó con la formación de los que ejercen esta profesión en la esfera militar, utilizando además los adelantos científicos-tecnológicos en el campo de la medicina. Se pretende hacer un recorrido por la historia de la formación del profesional de salud que participó en los conflictos bélicos desde el origen de los Behiques hasta los momentos actuales(AU)

The history of Cuban medicine has traveled through different stages and its origins are sorcerer-healer, also called behique, who was the initiator of the therapeutic procedures in the aboriginal struggles against the invader. This activity was developed under difficult conditions by doctors who participated in the wars of independence as members of the mambi military health corp. This tradition was also present in the doctors of the rebel army. When the Revolution triumphed in 1959, this practice of training increased for those in the military sphere, also using scientific and technological advances in the field of medicine. It is intended to make a journey through history of the health professional formation who participated in the warlike conflicts since its original behique to the present times(AU)

RESUMO

O dano tecidual que leva a perda do implante dentário está intimamente relacionado à resposta inflamatória local. A utilização de medicamentos tópicos tem sido estudada como forma de controlar essa resposta inflamatória, evitando assim perda óssea após o período de osseointegração. Objetivo: avaliar os níveis de IL-10 e IL-1β no fluido crevicular peri-implantar após utilização de uma pasta à base de iodofórmio em humanos. Material e métodos: vinte regiões em 3 pacientes foram divididas em dois grupos: grupo A (reabertura dos implantes e instalação do cicatrizador) e grupo B (reabertura do implante e instalação do cicatrizador juntamente com uma pasta de iodofórmio). Quinze dias após a exposição dos implantes, amostras do fluido crevicular peri-implantar (FCPI) foram obtidas, utilizando filtro de papel absorvente inserido ao sulco peri-implantar, durante 30 s, após a remoção do cicatrizador. Os níveis de IL-10 e IL-1β nas amostras foram determinados por ELISA utilizando o kit DuoSet ELISA Development System DY217B. Após o Teste de Shapiro-Wilk, o teste de Tukey foi utilizado para determinar o valor de p na avaliação das diferenças entre os grupos, com nível de significância de 0,05. Resultados: não houve diferença significativa entre as concentrações de IL-10 nos dois grupos (p=0.34). No entanto, diferença significativa foi evidenciada entre os grupos A e B em relação aos níveis de IL-1β (p=0.03). O grupo B mostrou significativa menor concentração de IL-1β comparado ao grupo A. Conclusão: a pasta de iodofórmio é capaz de diminuir a resposta pró-inflamatória orquestrada pela IL-1β em um curto período de tempo

The tissue damage around dental implant is strictly related to inflammatory response. The use of local drugs has been studied as a tempt of controlling this response in order to avoid the bone loss after osseointegration period. Aim: to evaluate the interleukins 10 and 1β levels in peri-implant crevicular fluid after using iodoform paste in humans. Material and methods: twenty regions, in 03 patients, were divided in 2 groups; group A (implant exposure and healing insertion) and group B (implant exposure and healing/ iodoform paste insertion). Fifteen days after exposure, samples from peri-implant crevicular fluid were collected. ELISA technique determined the interleukins 10 and 1β levels by using DuoSet ELISA Development System DY217B kit. Tukey test analysed differences between groups, considering 0.05 significant level. Results: no difference was observed between groups considering interleukin 10 levels (p=0.34). however, significant differente was observed considering the interleukin 1β levels (p=0.03). Group B showed significant smaller IL-1β level than group A. Conclusion: iodoform paste is able to decrease the pro-inflammatory response conduct by interleukin 1β.

RESUMO

Introduction: The Hospital Universitario del Valle (HUV) at the Pediatrics Intensive Care Unit (PICU) admits intoxicated patients, erroneously medicated by "teguas" or family members with serious aggravation of basic diseases or generating severe intoxications. Absent reports of these practices in Colombia motivated the publication of this case series. Objective: To report a series of pediatric intoxication cases secondary to oral or dermatological application of varied substances by healers (®teguas¼) or family members, leading to admission at the PICU, and to describe complications and hospital costs of these events. Methodology: Clinical charts of patients admitted to the PICU with diagnosis of exogenous intoxication during May 2001 to September 2004, were reviewed. Of 28 registered cases during that time, only 14 clinical charts were recovered. Variables evaluated included: age, gender, proceeding, administered substance, person responsible for the administration, complications, days of mechanical ventilation, total days at the intensive care unit and average costs. Of the 14 medical records with exogenous intoxications only 5 cases were involuntary and 9 were related to the administration of substances by quacks or family members; these are the ones reported in this series. Results: We report a total of 9 intoxicated patients, 5 girls and 4 boys, with an age range from 1 to 24 months, all from Cali. Topical administered substances: alcohol 6/9, vinegar 1/9; oral: aspirin 2/9, paico 1/9, and unidentified herbs 1/9. Administered substances by teguas: 6 patients; 3 by family members. All patients had metabolic acidosis with an increased anion gap: 27 in average (range from 21 to 32). All required mechanical ventilation (2 to 32 day range). Average hospital day costs were $6’657,800 pesos (around U$3,000.oo). Three patients died and 4 presented acute renal failure, 2 convulsions, 2 nosocomial infections, 1 subglotic stenosis.

Introducción: A la Unidad de Cuidado Intensivo Pediátrico (UCIP) del Hospital Universitario del Valle (HUV) ingresan pacientes intoxicados, que antes han sido medicados de manera errónea por teguas o familiares con grave empeoramiento de las enfermedades de base o con intoxicaciones severas. La ausencia de informes sobre estas prácticas en Colombia motivó la publicación de esta serie de casos. Objetivo: Informar una serie de casos pediátricos con intoxicaciones, secundarias a la administración oral o dérmica de sustancias administradas por curanderos (teguas) o familiares conducta que implicó hospitalización en UCIP, describir las complicaciones y sus costos hospitalarios. Materiales y métodos: Se revisaron las historias clínicas de los niños que ingresaron a la UCIP del HUV con diagnóstico de intoxicación exógena, en el período de mayo 2001 a septiembre 2004. De los 28 casos registrados en tiempo sólo se recuperaron 14 historias clínicas. Se aplicó un formulario para obtener información de ellas que permitiera evaluar características socio-demográficas (edad, género, procedencia), tóxico administrado, persona responsable de la administración, complicaciones, días y costos de la hospitalización. De estas 14 historias, solamente 5 fueron intoxicaciones accidentales y 9 se asociaron con administración de sustancias por teguas o familiares, que son las que se comunican en esta serie.Resultados: Se informa un total de 9 pacientes intoxicados, 5 de género femenino con rango de edad 1 a 24 meses todos provenientes de Cali. Las sustancias administradas fueron por vía tópica: alcohol, 6/9; vinagre, 1/9; por vía oral: aspirina, 2/9; paico, 1/9; y otras hierbas no identificadas, 1/9. La administración de las sustancias fue hecha por teguas en 6 pacientes, y en 3 por familiares.
