Obsessiveâ€"compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions. Symptoms of the disorder include...preoccupation with sexual, violent or religious thoughts; relationship-related obsessions; aversion to particular numbers; and nervous rituals, such as opening and closing a door a certain number of times before entering or leaving a room. These symptoms can be alienating and time-consuming, and often cause severe emotional and financial distress. The acts of those who have OCD may appear paranoid and potentially psychotic. However, OCD sufferers generally recognize their obsessions and compulsions as irrational, and may become further distressed by this realization. --Wiki

Good information, i also want to add that a lot of people with ocd also are hoarders.

Best thing is to go to a psychiatrist and develop behavioral modification. these patients have to undergo cbt; cognitive behavioral therapy, which is usually very effective in treating it, however, it takes time.

not necessarily so, Tita. it takes some time for polycystic ovarian syndrome to progress into ovarian carcinoma. one of the factors that we look at is family history. usually, individuals with polycystic ovarian syndrome are asked to prophylactically have the affected ovaries excised.

the issue of childbirth is usually a main concern.

there are professional and hourly benefits to this home care setting. many nurses (RNs and LPNs) can avail in the possibllity of making their own hours. Nurses who wish to work for home health agencies can see anywhere between 10-15 patients a day; each patient they visit, they are paid around $70 (for LPNs it is $45). If an RN visits 15 patients in 1 day, he or she can earn $1050 in one day. If she works 5 days a week, then in 2 weeks she will take home a check for $10,500. A month, that is around $21,000.

What does that equate to? Financial independence.

what many doctors are doing now, taking advantage of this new health care bill (affordable care act), is consulting for hospitals and operating their own home health agencies, or visiting physician firms. i have friends who owns a visiting physician firm, employing 30 doctors to visit patients. this year, the organization grossed over 30 million.

that is the future of medicine, balong, in home visits.

What are your plans this weekend?

Death is certain.  At some point, we will all reach the end of our days, but what's next?  What happens after we die?  Where do we go from here?

Jesus takes the time to reassure His disciples (and us) that our journey does not end here.  He promised to prepare a place for each one of us, and I pray that my brother-in-law is there now.

St. Thomas responds with an honest question.  Jesus makes it seem easy to find our way to heaven, but if it were that easy, why do religious scholars continue to debate it, even to this day?  Believing in heaven is one thing.  Knowing how to get there is much more difficult.

Jesus's answer is simple: follow Him.  If we put our faith in Him, we will find the Way, the Truth, and the Life.  Jesus will guide our way.

I believe that my brother-in-law, Tom (Thomas), believed these words with every fiber of his being.  Sure, he may have had doubts, like his namesake, but we all do.  Still, he found peace in Christ and made every attempt to follow in the footsteps of Christ.  The Lord knows that Tom carried his share of crosses.

On the Feast of St. Thomas, let's not remember a man for his doubts, but for his deep desire to know the way to eternal life.  St. Thomas's questions mirror the same questions many of us face today, and if he never asked them, we might not know the answer.


http://www.wakingupcatholic.com/weekly-bible-verses/876-the-way-the-truth-and-the-life.html

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my Father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be. Where (I) am going you know the way."

Thomas said to him, "Master, we do not know where you are going; how can we know the way?"

Jesus said to him, "I am the way and the truth and the life.

-John 14:1-6

Day 1:


Oh, ever-wise Jesus, who, in Your wisdom, had sent zealous missionaries to our humble shores to preach the Gospel to our forefathers so that they would see the LIGHT and embrace the CATHOLIC FAITH, we humbly ask You to give us a living Faith so that we may always please You in all that we do. We ask You this in Your holy name. Amen.

Oh, my Dear Jesus! You are our King and our God, because of Your love for us You came down from heaven born of the Virgin Mary.

Strengthen our will to resist temptation and sin. With Your Grace we will be able to fulfill our promises and share with Your glory in heaven.

Oh, Holy Child Jesus, who is ever good and loving, we kneel before You, our true God. With humility we implore You to give us Your mercy and grant us all the favors we ask of you in this NOVENA, so that we will enjoy the blessings of heaven. AMEN.

There's a shadow hanging over me
Oh, yesterday came suddenly

Now I long for yesterday

Yesterday
Love was such an easy game to play
Now I need a place to hide away
Oh, I believe in yesterday

Happy 237th Birthday, USA!

Firework shows are held in many states, and many fireworks are sold for personal use or as an alternative to a public show. Safety concerns have led some states to ban fireworks or limit the sizes and types allowed. Illicit traffic transfers many fireworks from less restrictive states.

A salute of one gun for each state in the United States, called a “salute to the union,” is fired on Independence Day at noon by any capable military base.

Independence Day is a national holiday marked by patriotic displays. Similar to other summer-themed events, Independence Day celebrations often take place outdoors. Independence Day is a federal holiday, so all non-essential federal institutions (like the postal service and federal courts) are closed on that day. Many politicians make it a point on this day to appear at a public event to praise the nation's heritage, laws, history, society, and people.

Families often celebrate Independence Day by hosting or attending a picnic or barbecue and take advantage of the day off and, in some years, long weekend to gather with relatives. Decorations (e.g., streamers, balloons, and clothing) are generally colored red, white, and blue, the colors of the American flag. Parades are often in the morning, while fireworks displays occur in the evening at such places as parks, fairgrounds, or town squares.

The night before the Fourth was once the focal point of celebrations, marked by raucous gatherings often incorporating bonfires as their centerpiece. In New England, towns competed to build towering pyramids, assembled from hogsheads and barrels and casks. They were lit at nightfall, to usher in the celebration. The highest were in Salem, Massachusetts (on Gallows Hill, the famous site of the execution of 13 women and 6 men for witchcraft in 1692 during the Salem witch trials, where the tradition of bonfires in celebration had persisted), composed of as many as forty tiers of barrels; these are the tallest bonfires ever recorded. The custom flourished in the 19th and 20th centuries, and is still practiced in some New England towns.

Independence Day, commonly known as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the United States commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. Independence Day is commonly associated with fireworks, parades, barbecues, carnivals, fairs, picnics, concerts, baseball games, family reunions, and political speeches and ceremonies, in addition to various other public and private events celebrating the history, government, and traditions of the United States. Independence Day is the National Day of the United States.

very interesting.  thanks, lorenz.  i'm getting at this slowly.  it's because i seem to be living these past characters in my mind. 

what i can glean so far is that your lolo sa sungay (or tuhod or siko?), chose to stay in valencia and hold on to his family name.  ours went back to china and never came back, deliberately or not, by force of circumstance or not, and chose to change his name to spanish.  but tan was used as the middle name by his children (one of whom was our grandfather) instead of his wife's family name.

i hope my little knowledge of those yesteryears hews close to the truth.  there is always the danger of addition and subtraction, of subjective-objective correlatives, with oral stories passed down from generation to generation.  meantime, i'll keep checking and counterchecking.  this is getting more interesting.  and you're helping me a lot.

Hi Tita,

I commend you on your noble task in uncovering more truth to your family lineage. At first, Tita, it will seem overwhelming and almost impossible, but through constant geneology research, you can find out more. I will recommend that if you go back to Valencia, the best place to find out demographic information will be at Santo Nino Parish Church, where they preserve records of marriages, baptisms, confirmation and funerary rites. It was at Santo Nino Church where I found the exact date my great-grandfather was married to my great-grandmother, the baptismal dates of their children. It is interesting, really, how the church had information on the marriage date of my great-grandparents, my grand parents, my parents, all the way to my baptismal date (i was baptised in valencia). We tend to appreciate the religious, ceremonial, and spiritual aspect of the Church, however, we should take into consideration the Church's unwavering position as a repository for historical data.

The more you go along in your research the more you will feel a bond, an appreciation for your ancestors who sacrificed a lot to come to the country. The answers that flood your mind continue to provide qualitative motivation on your research journey.

I would suggest you document everything you find, through a microblog, through a journal, or even this website. By doing this, you share with you and allow past, and possible relatives to find one another. I documented my information here, and through Tubag Bohol, I found a distant relative, Ricky Caluen, whose great-grandfather was a cousin of mine. And now, Tita, it seems that you might be a relative of mine. Your grandfather was more than likely the cousin of my grandmother. Your great-grandfather was probably the younger brother of my great-grand father.

There is a saying in Chinese, "blood will find blood". Perhaps it holds true in our situation.

God Bless and May God guide you in your noble task.


With Regards,
Sincerely,
Bran Lorenz

Research Methods and Results

We (Lucino et al, 2013)conducted a study to observe changes in the brain morphometry occurred in patients with schizophrenia, the specific areas of the brain that was analyzed and observed was the prefrontal cortex as well as the heschel’s gyrus. The researchers hypothesized that there would be dramatic changes in the heschl’s gyrus asn prefrontal cortex in schizophrenic patients as compared to patients that are not suffering from schizophrenia. The study took 29 patients suffering from schizophrenia and were evaluated to have schizophrenia through DSM-IV diagnosis. These said 29 patients were then studied through magnetic resonance imaging and their prefrontal cortex and heschl’s gyrus volumes were measured through proper tracing procedures. When the data was analyzed, they observed how brain volume sizes changed as the disease progressed in its nefarious stages. The results of the study showed how there was indeed a decrease in the heschl gyrus volumes in both the right and left hemispheres, as well as a decrease in white matter and grey matter sizes in both left and right hemispheres of the brain. It was observed that in relation to the left heschl’s gryus volume, the spearman rho was at -0.48, with a p < 0.01 with a curve estimation at p < 0.05. The decrease in size of the heschl’s gyrus and prefrontal cortex of patients with schizophrenia has been associated with the loss of neuronal dendrites, decrease in conduction, as well as the loss of axonal myelin and even apoptosis of neurons.

The presentation of the information was rather didactic and thorough with biomedical graphing used to illustrated the morphological changes of the brain, specifically the heschl’s gyrus and the prefrontal cortex. This provides psychologists and neurophysiologists an biological feedback and point of view of how organic changes influence cognition.

The psychopathology known as schizophrenia definitely has some implications for the mental health field and for research, however, through the lens of the biopsychosocial model of research in the mental health field, we have a better understanding of how mental disorders are not merely a result of some kind of chemical or congenital malformation, but is influenced by a plethora of factors, mostly through morphological changes in the biology of the brain, through genetic factors, and environmental factors such as ethnicity and race as well as location of living in an urban, suburban or rural environment. We see how nature and nurture can not only influence the development of human personality, but how it can also be used to analyze how disease processes manifest in patient populations.

When one studies schizophrenia, one has to also understand the environmental factors in the onset of this disorder. Despite the genetic and the congenital factors for the explanation of the disorder, there are also environmental factors that could contribute to the manifestation of schizophrenia. In a study conducted by Van Os, Kenis and Rutten (2010) it was identified through twin-twin studies and through heritability studies that there is increased risk for schizophrenia for patients who live in an urban environment, for patients who are in a social-economic disadvantaged minority group such as African American or Latino-American group, patients who are regular users for cannabis, and for those who have experienced developmental trauma. Van Os et al (2010) emphasize the importance of gene-environmental analysis for schizophrenia and schizotypal disorders as a way to understand how disorders can be identified, and help aid in the treatment and management process (Richard and Brahm, 2012).

There is some kind of genetic link with schizophrenia. Sadock and Sadock (2007) state that in the United States alone, there was a prevalence for schizophrenia in 1 percent of the American population, which means that for every 100 people in the United States, there will be 1 individual who will develop schizophrenia. There seems to be some kind of genetic link to schizophrenia. Schizophrenia and schizophrenia-related disorders such as paranoid personality disorders, schizoid disorders, schizotypal disorders tend to occur with high rates in blood relatives of schizophrenic patients. The proclivity for schizophrenia tends to be higher for persons who are more genetically closer to an individual with schizophrenia, this means that there is a discrimination for first degree relatives as compared to second degree, third degree, etc (Sadock and Sadock, 2007). To illustrate the genetic link of schizophrenia, a study was conducted by Bener, Dafeeah, Samson (2012) to study how consanguinity increased the risk of patients developing schizophrenia. The results of the study showed that individuals who had schizophrenia had parents who had schizophrenia and that their parents were also related by blood. The study illustrated that there were higher risk of individuals who committed consanguineous marriages to produce schizophrenic children as compared to individuals who did not have consanguineous marriages, thus reducing the risk of schizophrenia (Bener et al, 2012).

Since the Heschl’s gyrus plays a role in auditory perception and the processing of language, the reduction of the volume of the Heschl’s gyrus is associated with the cognitive dysfunction in schizophrenic patients. There was, unfortunately, a decreased overall size in brain volume in patients with schizophrenia as compared to individuals who do not have schizophrenia (Karabay et al, 2013). To augment the current research’s understanding of how organic changes in the brain is associated with cognitive changes in schizophrenia patients, Nickl-Jockschat, Schneider, Pagel, Laird, Fox and Eickhoff (2011) conducted a study to observe the correlation with the reduction in grey matter size and duration of schizophrenia. The results of the study showed that morphological changes of the grey matter and white matter in areas of the brain that were associated with auditory and language perception of stimuli and response processes were significantly affected.

   Schizophrenia’s classical signs and symptoms, especially incoherent speech, delusional disorders, somatic passivity, thought withdrawal and audition of thoughts can be explained through the organic changes of the brain. Karabay et al (2013) noted that there were profound changes in the integrity of the white matter of the brain, especially in the reduction of the corpus callosum, which is responsible for connecting the right and left hemispheres and thus functions in the communication. The research conducted by Karabay et al (2013) indicated that the corpus collosum was actually reduced in size or was destroyed in some schizophrenic patients as compared to normal individuals without schizophrenia. This severance of the corpus callosum was debated as a possible cause of the lack of coherence in thought and speech. Patients with schizophrenia also have damage in the Heschel’s gyrus, which is associated with auditory input and information conceptualization, and thus also plays a major role in the processing of speech. The damage of the Heschl’s gyrus correlates to schizophrenic patients’ inability to effect proper speech or speech that is coherent in thought and suggestion.

   Through the use of modern medicine and evaluative tools such as the positron emission tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, physicians are now able to visualize the organic changes to the brain in terms of activity and physical size in patients with schizophrenia. There was a research conducted by Karabay, Oniz, Gokcay, Alptekin, Hugdahl and Ozgoren (2013) which wanted to enlighten the relationship with mental illness and the morphology of the brain and the use of this relationship as a possible biomarker for patients suffering with schizophrenia. Karabay et al (2013) conducted a study to observe the Prefrontal Cortex and the Heschel’s Gyrus in terms of changes in size and function and its relationship to patietns’ cognitive ability as well as and other psychiatric implications for patients suffering with schizophrenia. Karabay et al (2013) documented that in medical studies that there have been profound changes in the morphology of patients suffering from schizophrenia such as the dysplastic changes of the ventromedial temporal lobe, changes in the limbic system’s subcortical nucleus, in the profrontal cortex and in the main cerebral cortex, which is responsible for memory and executive functions.

Schizophrenia is a psychopathology that is characterized with problems in patient’s cognitive abilities, emotional stability, perception of reality, and overall abnormality in behavior. The disorder is associated with the first rank and second rank symptoms that clinical psychologists and medical psychiatrists can observe. The first rank symptoms include audible thoughts, voice arguments, or observable discussion with self, passive somatic experiences, withdrawal in thought, broadcasting of thought and delusion. The second rank symptoms include sudden delusion; perplex character, depression and then subsequent euphoria (Sadock and Sadock, 2007).

What the Biopsychosocial model stated was that biological, psychological and social factors influence human functioning especially in regards to disease and illness (Suls et al, 2013). In the analysis of the biopsychosocial model of the mind in explaining how disease manifests, one has to understand that this process of thinking was influenced by Galton’s concept of Nature Vs. Nurture, which, according to Galton, influenced the personality and the very persona of the individual. Nature represented the physical make-up of the individual and that individual’s natural mental capacity for thinking and learning, whereas nurture represented the influences that affected the individual after birth (Hergenhahn, 2009). The use of the biopsychosocial model can be used to analyze specific types of mental disorders and one in particular is schizophrenia.

Historical Systems in Psychopathology Research




Since the famous case of Phineas Gage in 1848, who was a British industrial worker who experienced profound personality change after his life altering accident that resulted in a metal rod that damaged his central nervous system (Hergenhahn, 2009), there has been considerable research and interest on how behavior can be affected if there is organic damage to the central nervous system, which is primarily composed of the brain and the spinal cord (Sadock and Sadock, 2007). A phenomenon has occurred recently in the late 20th century and continues to this present time where there is an interest in understanding how disease manifestation happens. This need to understand how disease occurs and what factors influence this led to the birth of the Biopsychosocial model, which has stated that there are many factors that influence an individual’s mental and physical well-being and Engel called this the Biopsychosocial model (Suls, Krantz and Williams, 2013).

Well, in case masaag mo sa Davao Chiropractic Clinic (located in Ulas, Davao City) these crew would welcome you ^__^

pila pod ang bayad sa 1 hour, jenneth?

these terms are alien to me until that quack doctor talked about it. he said to me kono that ma bantay kono ka'g sa tawo nga mo emit og negative energy kai ma dautan ang tawo ana.

i dismissed his talks as mere gibberish, however, perhaps, just perhaps there is some truth to these old filipino here-says.

what say you, vince?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesnt 'dautan' refer to the negative energies that are directed at you by other people?

Do you believe in "dautan" ?

after 30 minutes, na wa lagi. i cannot explain it.

The Filipino healing tradition called hilot has spanned undocumented agesâ€"handed down from generation to generation by the Filipino sages, the albularyos. . . . This book is an eye opener to the Filipino people, who can now talk about their culture with pride, and to the scientific community, as a framework for them to take a second look. For the modern world and its problem of chronic illnesses, hilot is a definite alternative that stands equal to the other healing modalities in the world.

interesting.

when i arrived to bohol in 2010, i contracted a fever. my uncle, who is a believer of filipino massage, called a local quack doctor to massage me. i kid you not, after he did his massage and whispered some unknowable words to my ears, my fever went down. na wa rajud.

i cannot explain that. i didn't even take any anti-pyretics prior.

bwahahahaha!

lion massage? 

swedish style

he he, the best place is in panglao, the old ladies know how to massage the best. isug kaajo sila.

katawa ko kai the one who i remember said to me, "doy arang balhiboan ma ka kaajo!" ha ha ha.

ka ingon sija nga bombay kono ko at first...jawaa!

how i envy you that you live with people who are skilled like that. i miss the pinoy style massage gajud. it really works...

ehehehe, mo ari gajod ko, i'll bring a lady friend. nice place for a hilot hilot.

with a neighbor, it's called hilot-hilot.  when i tried it in the hospital, it was called body rehabilitation for my bad back.  i surmise it's called a body spa when it's expensive and there are lighted candles and some flowers floating in some decorative vessel.

barato ra man sa pinas, isles. they charge 150 pesos for 1 hour. tip-on lang nako og 100 pesos. so, overall, 250 pesos for 1 hour.

here in chicago, a 1 hour massage is $150. aguy!

he he he, when I was in Bohol went to the Nuat Thai 3 times a week, but preferred the blind masseuse over the Nuat Thai. Maka tulug ilang hilot hilot da, i just remember listening to them talk about the importance of removing the panuhot, but i fall asleep within 15 minutes.

Hilig or not?

na hala, mo gama lang ko'g payag sa chocolate hills...

ha ha ha ha !!
