Do You Know What the Emotional Pain Is?

#Pain is a dynamic process that involves multiple physiological systems for the perception and its outcomes. The basic pain process involves a complex neurological process and biochemical changes.
Emotional pain is an extended form of the already known pain where the stimuli are emotional of nature that involves abstract feelings, for example, losing a loved one. Like the pain, now there is a growing evidence that emotional pain also involves inflammatory process and the behavioral approach is directly linked with them.
This association can help us modify the emotional pain by modulating the inflammatory processes that already known to us. Other than therapeutic and known interventions, mindfulness, writing therapy, exposure based intervention and other actions can help us in just not treating the condition but can serve as exploration of other avenues of the pain physiology.
Emotional Pain has always been the part of human history but one of the least discussed form of pain. Multiple neuropsychiatric studies can help further in evaluation of this process.

Experience in the Approach to Insulinoma: A Case Series

http://imminv.com/index.php/imminv/article/view/175

A retrospective search of patients with the diagnosis of insulinoma within the database of the pathology service was performed between March 2002 and February 2017. Parameters such as the lesion size and localization, the immunohistochemistry findings, the serum levels of glucose, the insulin and C-peptide levels, the presence of metastasis, and the development of diabetes after surgery were evaluated. A total of nine patients with a diagnosis of insulinoma were enrolled in the study. The cohort comprised of seven men and two women, aged 30–50 years. Whipple triad was present in seven patients. The most common symptom was hypoglycemia-related syncope. All patients underwent surgical resection of the tumor with subsequent resolution of the symptoms. Only one patient was diagnosed with diabetes in the postoperative period.

Preventive and Curative Effect of Omega-3 Supplementation on Bone Mineral Density in People Aged 60 Years and Older: a Review Article

http://imminv.com/index.php/imminv/article/view/191

Abstract

Osteoporosis and osteopenia are common worldwide problems leading to potentially life-threatening consequences. Omega-3 supplementation for treating osteoporosis is less studied and less valued by physicians. We aimed to ascertain the appropriate dosage of omega- 3 supplementation to prevent osteoporosis. Google scholar database was searched in May 2017 using the keywords: n-3 fatty acids, omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, essential fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, linoleic acid, osteopenia, osteoporosis, bone density, and fracture. We reviewed English language reports of randomized controlled trials with intake of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, in which subjects were over 60 years and supplemented with a quantified dosage of omega-3; and outcome was indicated by bone mineral densitometry medical record of fractures and radiological imaging, and serum biomarker to evaluate bone metabolism. We reviewed 110 papers, which only eight articles met our conclusion criteria and concluded with curative effects. Three articles came up with no prophylactic or curative effect of omega-3 supplementation, three articles suggested a dosage of omega-3 supplement that non significantly increased bone mineral densitometry or decreased absorption, and thus, had prophylactic effects. One article just concluded the positive effects, not defining the exact results. It is suggested that a dosage of 4.5 to 6 g/d of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid can have curative effects, while 900-1000 mg/d can have prophylactic outcomes. N-3 fatty acids have positive effects on bone density, but to confine definitive dosage and formulation of omega-3 supplementation for reducing the risk of osteoporosis, further investigations are required.
