Q: Title and Source of the Title: “Diversity in Sexual Health: Problems and Dilemmas”European Journal of Contraception & Reproductive Health Care, Dec. 2005, Vol. 10, No. 4, pp. 207-211Purpose(s) of the article: The purpose of the article “Diversity in Sexual Health: Problems and Dilemmas” is to present a different point of view about sexuality and how it could vary depending on what culture or religious background an individual has. The article provides information about epidemiology and risk factors, as well as psychosocial, communication and moral aspects of the population related to sexual health. This article attempts to provide an explanation of the role of diversity in sexual health and how it could be a determinant in the health status of a specific community. In addition, the article gives specific information for healthcare providers regarding how their decisions and practices might affect the health of their patients. Public to whom the article is directed: This article is directed to Public Health services, doctors, nurses, healthcare providers and to the community in general. The article is trying to show them an inside view of the situation in the Netherlands. In order to provide better services, healthcare professionals have to be aware of the needs of the community they are working for. The article emphasized the social, cultural and legal aspects of the society and provides relevant information on how these three characteristics can make a different in the sexual health of the public. Service providers should be aware not only of the physical health of their patients, but at the same time of the emotional and social factors that are affecting their health.Epidemiology terms used in the article (define at least 3):Risk Factor: An exposure that is associated with a disease, morbidity, mortality, or adverse health outcome.Reliability: The ability of a measuring instrument to give consistent results on repeated trials. Rate: A ratio that consists of a numerator and denominator in which time forms part of the denominator.Abstract: Diversity is an important factor in determining the sexual health of a population. The influence of western societies has an impact on new immigrants in European countries, and their behaviors and beliefs have to be adjusted or changed in order to fit in. The Islamic population is one of the most affected by the influence of modernization and the lacking of information or the denial of having a real problem; those factors put their sexual health at risk. The problems and dilemmas that the Islamic community faces change depending on the situation; sexual violence, homosexuality, abstinence, HIV/STD’s, virginity and anything related to sexual behaviors are topics that are not appropriated to be discuss in public.In the epidemiological aspect of the community, the main problem is the “ineffective contraceptive behavior” because nobody is supposed to have sex before marriage; but in reality they are, and the problem is that HIV/STD’s, unwanted pregnancies, sexual violence and many more are present due to the lack of sexual education. In the psychosocial and cultural aspect, virginity and homosexuality are important issues. In the Islamic culture being a virgin woman is a synonym of honor, but for a man it is a double standard because it is prohibited but if he does it he does not lose his honor, and about homosexuality, the partner who penetrates is seen as the strongest and does not lose his honor, while the receiver is the passive and “female homosexual”. Communication is sometimes a barrier that makes difficult the appropriate health care delivery, not only because of the different languages spoke; but also people are not used to express their sexual problems or concerns. Many of these factors and others are affecting the sexual health of the community and the only way to overcome with a solution to provide an effective delivery of healthcare is to identify the needs of the community by taking diversity in consideration. Your comment: I personally found this article interesting because it presents a different point of view about sexual health, the article emphasized on the social and cultural factors as determinants or at least influential on the diseases that the immigrant Islamic population face in European countries. The problems and dilemmas are very different one from another, but all of them lead to the conclusion that sexuality is a forbidden subject in the Islamic community. I think the examples used in the article are very strong and they provide a better understanding of the viewpoint of the patients as well as the healthcare providers. In general, this is not an isolated problem, and Europe is not the only continent dealing with this matter; nevertheless, they are facing an enormous crisis in the increased prevalence of migrant groups and the ascending of sexual related diseases, unwanted pregnancies and abortions.What is good about the article: The article provides helpful information on different possible factors that are affecting the health of the community. It also presents scientific statistics as well as social factors that increase the percentages of people affected in one way or another by the lack of education and prevention. The information provided on the tables at the end of the article give a better understanding of the alarming situation. What is bad about the article: They focused their studies on Islamic community only; there are many other immigrant cultures in Europe. The comparison was kind of weak between Caribbean and Islamic populations.

A: It is nice to find kids that actually do their homework and not just post it here for other people to answer. Here are my suggestions and corrections for some simple mistakes that I found. Overall your essay is very well written. Good luck and I hope my suggestions help 😉 1) 1st paragraph: The article attemps to provide an explanation FOR (instead of “of”)2) The article emphasized the social, cultural and legal aspects of the society and provides relevant information on how these three characteristics can make a different in the sexual health of the public. Use EMPHASIZES to continue in the present tense3) Same sentence above: Use difference instead of different. 4) The influence of western societies has an impact on new immigrants in European countries, and their behaviors and beliefs have to be adjusted or changed in order to fit in. Here eliminate changed, since it sounds redundant. You want to demonstrate that you know what you’re talking about, don’t define a word unless it is a complicated one. 5) The Islamic population is one of the most affected by the influence of modernization and the lacking of information or the denial of having a real problem. Here is how I would edit this sentence: The Islamic population is one of the most affected by modernization, lack of information, and denial when it comes to facing problems. 6) The problems and dilemmas that the Islamic community faces change depending on the situation; sexual violence, homosexuality, abstinence, HIV/STD’s, virginity and anything related to sexual behaviors are topics that are not appropriated to be discuss in public.* Again here “problems and dilemmas” is unnecessary, as the words are synonyms. Also change “appropriated” to appropriate, and change “discuss” to discussed. 7) Communication is sometimes a barrier that makes difficult the appropriate health care delivery, not only because of the different languages spoke ( here add spoken). 8) I personally found this article interesting because it presents a different point of view about sexual health, the article emphasized on the social and cultural factors as determinants or at least influential on the diseases that the immigrant Islamic population face in European countries. Here add a period after health. Also use emphasizes and faces. 9) The comparison was kind of weak between Caribbean and Islamic populations. Maybe use somewaht instead of kind?

wake up call?

Q: Wake-Up CallHopeful new research shows that chronic fatigue syndrome may have a genetic basis.by Nancy G. Klimas, M.D.Until recently, the prognosis for a patient diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) was bleak. The illness has no recognized cure, let alone specific tests to diagnose it—just a bewildering set of symptoms, including utter exhaustion and debilitating pain in joints and muscles. Without a clear medical explanation, patients also face a confused response from family and friends: Is CFS nothing more than over-the-top ennui? A fancy synonym for hypochondria? Even the term “chronic fatigue” diminishes the disease, conjuring an image of Madeline Kahn’s classic rendition of “I’m Tired” in Blazing Saddles.But medical research has now made some major advances in understanding the syndrome, underscored by what may be a breakthrough study by the Centers for Disease Control and revention (CDC). The CDC looked at the genetic code of 227 CFS patients and controls in Kansas and found differences in the genes of the CFS patients involved with immune system, brain and endocrine regulation. Some of their findings suggest that the disease might be caused by genetic mutations that impair the central nervous system’s ability to adapt to stressful situations.The study revealed at least three distinct forms of the disease, each presenting a different genetic profile, one of which seemed to be associated with menopause. In addition, researchers found a strong correlation between the severity of CFS and what is termed allostatic load—the cumulative wear and tear on the body resulting from chronic or inadequate adaptation to stressors such as changes in everyday routine, disease, and physical and emotional trauma. The CDC is now preparing to replicate the findings in a study involving 30,000 people in Georgia.This is a huge step forward in terms of diagnosing and hopefully treating CFS—and that’s especially encouraging news for women, who are three to five times more likely to suffer from the disease than men. The fact that it skews so heavily toward women has also caused some to dismiss CFS as a “woman thing”— the modern version of a fainting couch for the frail sex. This sort of pejorative labeling is nothing new: The term hysteria is, after all, derived from the Greek for womb. Once a disease or affliction is perceived through the “gender lens,” the credibility of the illness may be questioned, causing severe negative impact on research funding, and thus limiting options for treatment.CFS has been misunderstood and mislabeled since the first case definition in 1988. Initially, it was frequently called “yuppie flu,” as it is sometimes marked at onset by severe flu-like symptoms (in other cases, however, there is a gradual decline with no dramatic onset). But CFS hardly follows a yuppie demographic: It’s found most commonly among those ages 40 to 69 and in lower-income groups, although it crosses borders of country, ethnicity and class.Only an estimated 16 percent of adult CFS patients have actually been diagnosed with the disease, and with no reliable diagnostic test or biologic marker the symptoms are sometimes mistaken for depression. In depression, however, one of the markers is an enlarged adrenal gland and an increase in cortisol production, while in CFS the adrenal gland is smaller than normal and makes less cortisol. This and other findings have shown that depression cannot explain the symptoms of CFS, yet many doctors still treat CFS patients with antidepressants—then regard them as recalcitrant when the treatment does not work.Attracting researchers and research dollars to investigate CFS has been a catch-22 scenario: It’s difficult to raise research funding for an illness that is so misunderstood, yet lack of adequate funding has limited the kinds of studies that might yield definitive answers. Clinical trials are needed to understand the various subgroups of CFS and to discover treatments that address the true biologic underpinnings of this illness. We also must educate healthcare professionals so that every doctor, nurse practitioner and physician assistant can quote the diagnostic criteria and treatment strategies.Fortunately, some of the research issues are finally being addressed. Sensing that investigators were discouraged by a 50 percent drop in CFS research funding since 2003, the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health, under the leadership of Vivian Pinn, put up $4 million for a special round of NIH applications last fall, resulting in 36 applications and likely funding for eight. This compares with a typical four or five applications per quarterly round, and only four to six funded studies each year.More good news: In 2005, the combined efforts of a group of CFS advocates led the Nevada Legislature to pass a bill funding a state-of-the-art Center for Excellence for CFS and cancer. Opening in 2007 or 2008 at the University of Nevada-Reno, the center will include a $75 million research and clinical-care facility.People often ask me if CFS is an immune disorder, a brain disease or a malfunction of the endocrine system. I tell them it is all of these. How I view the disease today, however, is not the way I once perceived it. As an immunologist, I once would have said that CFS is clearly an immune dysfunction state, while an endocrinologist would call attention to the adrenal gland irregularities, and a specialist in the autonomic nervous system would be convinced CFS is all about blood pressure.It is not uncommon, however, for a disease to be misunderstood—even by medical professionals—when there is no reliable diagnostic test. Multiple sclerosis, for example, was once called hysterical paralysis, and doctors treated patients like hypochondriacs and assumed they couldn’t cope with life. Then, with the advent of new technology (in this case MRI), scientists and clinicians were able to see brain lesions in MS patients and skepticism vanished.In spite of the many obstacles that have constrained research to date, we have learned an enormous amount about chronic fatigue syndrome since it was first recognized. The ignorance and prejudice that once blocked a CFS patient’s hope for a return to normalcy is being chipped away, and some day soon the puzzle of this complicated illness may be solved.For further information on CFS, visit the CDC, NIH, International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or CFIDS Association of America.Nancy G. Klimas, M.D. is one of the nation’s foremost experts on CFS. She is a professor of medicine, psychology, microbiology and immunology at the University of Miami School of Medicine, and president of the International Association for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. ——————————————————————————–home | about | contact | join ms. | current issue | feminist wire | ms. blogs | back issues | resources | store | ms. cruise Copyright © Ms. Magazine 2006
