Next-generation Sequencing

Next-generation Sequencing

The first human genome sequencing project cost $2.7 billion and was declared complete in 2003, after 15 years of international cooperation and collaboration between several research teams and funding agencies. Today, with the advent of next-generation sequencing technologies, the cost and time of sequencing a human genome have dropped over 100 fold.
Next-Generation Sequencing Methods
Although all next-generation methods use different technologies, they all share a set of standard features....

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Multi-species Conserved Sequences

Next-generation sequencing technologies have created large genomic databases of a variety of animals and plants. Ever since the human genome project was completed, scientists studied the genome of primates, mammals, and other phylogenetically distant living beings. Such large-scale studies have provided new insights into the evolutionary relationship between organisms.
Although the genome of each species varies greatly from each other, a few sequences are highly conserved. Such conserved...

Convergent Evolution

Convergent Evolution

Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Spare Receptors

Spare Receptors

Some receptors remain unoccupied even when an agonist produces a maximal response. Such empty ones are called spare receptors. In presence of spare receptors the maximum effect of an agonist drug is achieved with fewer than 100% of the receptors being occupied. To determine the presence of spare receptors, scientists often compare the concentration of the drug needed to produce 50% of the maximum effect (EC50) with the concentration of the drug needed to occupy 50% of the receptors (Kd). If the...

Second Order systems II

Second Order systems II

In an underdamped second-order system, where the damping ratio ζ is between 0 and 1, a unit-step input results in a transfer function that, when transformed using the inverse Laplace method, reveals the output response. The output exhibits a damped sinusoidal oscillation, and the difference between the input and output is termed the error signal. This error signal also demonstrates damped oscillatory behavior. Eventually, as the system reaches a steady state, the error diminishes to zero.

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Psychoanalytic therapy rarely achieves ideal "complete" terminations. Exploring post-treatment friendships, or "sequels," between ex-analysts and ex-patients reveals complexities and potential benefits beyond the termination ideal.

Area of Science:

Psychoanalysis
Psychology
Clinical Psychology

Background:

The ideal of
complete
termination in psychoanalytic work is often distant from clinical reality.
Actual therapeutic endings are frequently complex and incomplete.
The concept of "sequels" offers a lens to examine post-termination relationships.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the gap between the psychoanalytic ideal of termination and clinical reality.
To investigate the meanings, implications, and complexities of post-termination friendships (sequels) between ex-analysts and ex-patients.
To evaluate the potential therapeutic benefits of deviations from the ideal termination model.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of a specific case study involving an unfinished psychoanalytic treatment.
Exploration of the concept of "sequels" as a deviation from the termination ideal.
Interrogation of the psychoanalytic model of termination through case illustration.

Main Results:

"Complete" terminations are rare in clinical psychoanalytic practice.
Post-termination friendships ("sequels") present significant complexities and difficulties.
These "sequels" may offer unexpected therapeutic benefits, challenging the traditional termination ideal.
The case study highlights the nuanced nature of treatment endings and subsequent relationships.

Conclusions:

The psychoanalytic model of termination requires re-evaluation in light of clinical realities.
Post-termination relationships ("sequels") are complex phenomena with potential benefits and challenges for both patient and analyst.
Understanding "sequels" provides valuable insights into the long-term impact and evolution of the analytic process.
