Sociogenic illnesses may be psychosomatic in nature resembling a mass hysteria , or may be defined by individuals with disparate illnesses that are wrongly linked to a common cause. Two examples of sociogenic illness widely publicised by the media are as follows An incident involving a cancer patient, Gloria Ramirez , in California on Feb 19th, 1994. Ramirez was brought into Riverside General Hospital s ER by paramedics after experiencing chest pain and stomach upset. After drawing blood from the patient, hospital staff began to faint after noting an ammonia like smell. Staff attended to the fallen medical staff and attempted to treat Ramirez, who died shortly after. The ER was evacuated, and after searching for a toxin, none was found.

Please see WP PAREN for more information. Illness as Metaphor is a nonfiction work written by Susan Sontag and published in 1978. She challenged the blame the victim mentality behind the language society often uses to describe disease s and those who suffer from them. Drawing out the similarities between public perspectives on cancer the paradigmatic disease of the 20th century before the appearance of AIDS , and tuberculosis the symbolic illness of the 19th century , Sontag shows that both diseases were associated with personal psychological traits. In particular, she says that the metaphor s and terms used to describe both syndromes lead to an association between repressed passion and the physical disease itself. She notes the peculiar reversal that With the modern diseases once TB, now cancer , the romantic idea that the disease expresses the character is invariably extended to assert that the character causes the disease because it has not expressed itself. Passion moves inward, striking and blighting the deepest cellular recesses. Sontag says that the clearest and most truthful way of thinking about diseases is without recourse to metaphor. The tone of her treatise was angry and combative, and she makes sweeping claims that, while perhaps true to a first approximation, go too far Donoghue, 1978 .

A sex specific illness is an illness or disease that occurs only in people of one sex . In a more general sense, sex related illnesses are illnesses that are more common to one sex, or which manifest differently in each sex. For example, certain autoimmune disease s may occur predominantly in one sex, for unknown reasons. 90 of primary biliary cirrhosis cases are women, whereas primary sclerosing cholangitis is more common in men. Neither concept should be confused with sexually transmitted disease s, which are diseases that have a significant probability of transmission through sexual contact.

The famous Greek physician Galen in the 2nd century AD had already named nightmares Ephialtes . The idea of an incubus as a causative factor in nightmares stemmed from the belief that some spirit or ghost ghostly person crept in during the night and lay upon the sleeper, so as to constrict the chest and breathing leading to a sense of suffocation , side by side with a terrifying dream of being either crushed or in the case of a woman sexual violence sexually violated by the male incubus or ephialtes.

Decompression Illness DCI describes a collection of symptoms arising from decompression of the body. DCI is caused by two different mechanisms, which result in overlapping sets of symptoms. The two mechanisms are Decompression sickness DCS , which results from gas dissolved in body tissue under pressure precipitating out of solution and forming bubbles on decompression. It typically afflicts scuba divers on poorly managed ascent from depth or aviators flying in inadequately pressurised aircraft. Air embolism Arterial gas embolism AGE , which is gas bubbles in the bloodstream. In the context of DCI these may form either as a result of precipitation of dissolved gas into the blood on depressurisation, as for DCS above, or by gas entering the blood mechanically as a result of pulmonary barotrauma . Pulmonary barotrauma is a rupturing of the lungs by internal over pressurisation caused by the expansion of air held in the lungs on depressurisation such as a scuba diver ascending while holding the breath or the explosive decompression of an aircraft cabin or other working environment. Mechanisms of injury Refer to the main article decompression sickness for the mechanism of injury behind DCS. Refer to the main article Gas embolism Gas embolism in diving arterial gas embolism for the mechanism of injury behind AGE.

Severity of illness SOI is defined as the extent of organ system derangement or physiologic decompensation for a patient. It gives a medical classification into minor, moderate, major, and extreme. The SOI class is meant to provide a basis for evaluating hospital resource use or to establish patient care guidelines. Patients are assigned their SOI based on their specific diagnoses and procedures performed during their medical encounter, which is generally an inpatient hospital stay. Patients with higher SOI e.g. major or extreme are more likely to consume greater healthcare resources and stay longer in hospitals than patients with lower SOI in the same DRG. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services , also known as CMS, considered the 3M APR DRG and SOI system as a potential evolution to the DRG system in 2006, but received such negative feedback from the industry that in March 2007 decided to adopt another internally developed system evolved from the Diagnosis related group DRG http www.rand.org pubs working papers 2007 RAND WR434.1.pdf . SOI is still commonly used throughout the United States to adjust for patient complexity, so that physicians and other groups can compare resource utilization, complication rates, and length of stay.

Terminal Illness Insurance known as Accelerated Death benefit in North America pays out a capital sum if the policyholder is diagnosed with a terminal illness from which the policyholder is expected to die within 12 months of diagnosis , by a physician who specialises in that illness or condition. Terminal Illness Insurance is a form of insurance that is often added to a life insurance policy or a Mortgage Life Insurance policy by the insurance company issuing the policy. Terminal Illness Insurance is not available as a separate insurance policy. If a life insurance policyholder also has terminal illness insurance, then he she has the benefit of knowing that if he she is diagnosed with a serious illness and is expected to die within 12 months of diagnosis, then the combined policy will pay out straight away rather than waiting for the policyholder to die as would happen if the policyholder did not have terminal illness insurance . Do not confuse terminal illness insurance with critical illness insurance . The two forms of insurance are very different.

The Myth Of Mental Illness Foundations of a Theory of Personal Conduct is a book by Thomas Szasz first published in 1961. It is highly influential in the anti psychiatry movement. In it, Szasz argues that mental illness is a social construct created by doctors, and the term can only be used as a metaphor given that an illness must be an objectively demonstrable biological pathology , whereas psychiatric disorders meet none of these criteria. Szasz says that what psychiatrist s label mental illness is in fact nothing more than a deviation from the consensus reality or common morality . Image The Myth of Mental Illness.JPG thumb 250px He states that mental illness, madness and even many crimes are created or defined by cultural controls, morals and real world views of big science, religion and government, similar to Heresy heretics , Paganism pagan s, and sin ners before the industrial revolution. Szasz supports his arguments by pointing out that individuals alleged to be mentally ill feel they have much to gain because by appearing to be dependent they motivate others to action. Szasz asserts that a positive, present and honest relationship is the basis of his psychotherapy therapy . The book extends the arguments of Szasz s paper The Myth of Mental Illness , first published in 1960. In it, Szasz argues that belief s cannot be caused by brain disease, although such artifacts as visual or hearing defects can.

Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Illness or Modern Women Lang de Krankheit oder Moderne Frauen is a play by the Austrian playwright Elfriede Jelinek . It was written in 1984 and published by Prometh Verlag in 1987 with an afterword by Regine Friedrich. The play deals with Jelinek s usual play on sexual power politics by focusing attention on a couple and what happens to the dynamics of their relationship when change occurs. The change, in this case, is when Carmilla, a housewife, becomes a vampire through her friend Emily. This only occurs after the birth of her daughter. She then leaves her husband, Dr. Benno Hundekoffer, and establishes a lesbian relationship with Emily. Like the rest of Jelinek s body of work, Krankheit offers a vitriolic and satirical view of the falsity and susceptibility concerning relationships.
