Judo--the gentle way: a replication of studies on martial arts and aggression.

There have been numerous studies of the effects of traditional martial arts training on aggressiveness, most reporting a decline in aggressiveness with training. The majority of these studies have examined students of karate or taekwondo, disciplines emphasizing strikes and blocks. In contrast, this cross-sectional study examined the effects of traditional judo training on aggressiveness by looking at 51 judo students. Furthermore, we incorporate into our analysis two variables generally associated with aggression, age and sex, to control for their effects. Aggressiveness declined as expected across training and ages, but surprisingly sex had no effect in this setting.

Lowering stress while teaching research: a creative arts intervention in the classroom.

Undergraduate students often request "hands-on" research experience but seldom have the time and opportunity during a one-semester introductory course to participate in such a project. The purposes of this educational approach, implemented during a beginning research class for baccalaureate nursing students, were to provide an opportunity for students to participate in an experimental research study, and test the effect of a creative arts intervention on students' stress, anxiety, and emotions. Students designed, participated in, and analyzed the results of the project. The intervention significantly reduced stress and anxiety and increased positive emotions in this student population, while providing a creative research experience. For future use, the intervention may be helpful with a variety of vulnerable groups.

Use of art therapy with post-traumatic stress disordered veteran clients.

1. The post-traumatic stress disordered veteran client may exhibit a cluster of problematic behaviors that are integral to current maladaptive coping patterns. 2. These coping patterns can be successfully addressed through a multidisciplinary therapeutic approach that emphasizes client-controlled expression of emotions and client-focused step-by-step behavior modification. 3. Art therapy and nursing, in a collaborative approach, can facilitate individual and group interventions that promote expression of feelings, congruency between experience and self-concept, and feelings of effectiveness in behavioral change.

Nurse-led art expression in addiction treatment.

Creative expression can be a potent force in recovery programs, and psychosocial nurses trained in group processes can use art expression as part of addiction recovery and relapse prevention. Enabling clients to understand recovery and recognize what life offers without addiction is one of the best defenses against relapse during difficult times.

The effects of options on performance of an art project in adults with mental disabilities.

The relationships among the presence of options, interest, preference, choice, meaning, purpose, and performance in occupation are central to occupational therapy knowledge. This study examined whether giving adults with mental disabilities options at the beginning of an art occupation would motivate them to paint more than when not given options. The sample consisted of 13 men and 9 women; ages ranged from 24 to 76. The subjects were yoked in pairs. One subject from each pair was given a choice of which of five ceramic objects to paint. The second subject was instructed to paint the same type of object that the first subject had chosen. Three days to 1 week later, roles were reversed. The number of times the subject applied the paint to the object after dipping the brush into paint was recorded by the researcher. Each subject was also timed with a stopwatch from the first time paint was applied to the time the subject indicated completion of the activity. The Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed-ranks test revealed that subjects painted significantly more (Z = 2.9, p < .01) when they had a choice than when they did not have a choice.

[A cohort study of art glass workers in the Empoli area].

The investigation aimed at studying cause-specific mortality of art glass workers employed in 17 industrial facilities in Tuscany, Italy. A cohort of 3390 workers employed for at least 1 year was obtained from company payrolls. Follow-up was between the year each factory started operations, mostly in the mid-fifties, and the end of 1993. The cause specific expected mortality was computed relative to Tuscany rates, specified for gender, 5-year age groups and calendar year. Separate analyses were carried out for the job titles of makers, batch mixers and grinders. For males, 3180 individuals, the observed mortality for cancer causes was above the expected for the lung [standardized mortality ratio (SMR) 123, 10 observed (Obs)], larynx (SMR 166, 10 Obs), stomach (SMR 105, 30 Obs) and brain (SMR 150, 7 Obs). For non-cancer causes observed mortality was above expected for hypertensive diseases (SMR 178, 10 Obs) and diseases of the genitourinary system (SMR 169, 11 Obs). Increases for the above listed causes were shown also among makers. Mortality for larynx and lung cancer increased with time since first exposure and significantly increased SMRs were observed for 21 or more years since first exposure: this pattern was still present with smoking adjustment. The results showed consistently increased mortality for lung and larynx cancer in the overall cohort and among makers. Stomach cancer, brain cancer, hypertensive diseases and diseases of the genitourinary system were also increased in the overall cohort and among makers.

Oral presentations in science and medicine. An art in decline?

The presentation of understandable and stimulating lectures on difficult scientific and medical issues is in our opinion an art in decline. This disconcerting trend has, however, received little attention. In this essay, we expose the most common fallacies and pitfalls encountered in poor lectures, discuss the underlying reasons why they occur and consider some remedies to improve the situation. The status of oral communication should in our opinion be upgraded. To give a first rate, lucid lecture is an important service to the scientific community and should be recognised as such. When principal speakers at symposia are selected, and when researchers are considered for academic positions, documented proficiency in oral communication should be given more weight than is currently the case. This essay does not purport to be a treatise on rhetoric. We believe that a more efficient approach is to focus attention on the common blunders. This we have done in a provocative manner to invite comments and discussion.

[Humanities and art as a part of medical education].

From superstition and witchcraft, to detailed scientific insight into the human body in health and disease: Stupendous though the development of medical science has been over the last few centuries, it does not in itself give doctors a sufficient basis for meeting their patients and the people around them. In these interpersonal encounters, fundamental, immaterial values are the all-important basis. These values and their place in life are not visible in science itself, hence the humanities and the arts offer approaches and inspiration that are of the greatest value in the education of doctors at all levels.

Art or science? Understanding medicine and the common law.

Those of you who have either had or seen the process of a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan cannot fail to be impressed with the scientific or technologic marvel of this huge diagnostic machinery. After a relatively noisy series of manoeuvres, the machine turns out a beautiful set of images on film. That is the science. What happens next, though, is that the films are given to a radiologist who gazes at them, puzzles for awhile and then gives an opinion on what they might mean. That is the art.

Art - a strategic and empirical therapy?

Art therapy in Britain has progressed on two main lines, the empirical (aesthetic) and the strategic (psychological). In the writer's experience neither approach is adequate to deal with one particular style of creative expression, referred to as the basic archaic, linear style, and indicative of severe autistic regression when it becomes stereotyped. Attention is drawn to the importance of the appearance of fragments of other (transitional) styles that may appear and offer the key to therapeutic progress.

[The human in the art: Henrik Have's painting for a medical thesis].

A painting made by the Danish painter and author Henrik Have (born 1946) illustrates the front page of Jette E. Kristiansen's medical thesis The Antimicrobial Activity of Psychotherapeutic Drugs and Stereo-isomeric Analogues (1990). The painting illustrates beautifully that art and science can go hand in hand. Even very complicated chemical, pharmacological and microbiological questions can be expressed by means of colours and by means of symbols used in everyday life, such as a spiral (DNA), or a pair of hands expressing working together. Prayers, wishes and the most difficult questions in receptor stereo-chemistry in eucaryotic and procaryotic cell-systems are illustrated in this painting. Synthetic chemistry and pharmacology are linked in the development of the synthetic dyes. The chemical colours are often the same in dyes and drugs. The red colour in the pharmacology is associated with the antibiotic drugs as sulfonamides as well as with the staining of Gram-negative bacteria. The yellow colour is associated with the antibiotic drugs, quinolones and the Ziehl-Neelsen staining for tubercle bacillii. The blue colour is associated with the psychoactive drugs, phenotiazines, as well as with methylenblue staining and the staining of Gram-positive bacteria. These association and symbols have been used in this painting.
