Assessment and Treatment for Malnutrition of COVID-19 Patients
Published in Wenguang Xia, Xiaolin Huang, Rehabilitation from COVID-19, 2021
Ensure adequate drinking water: Patients should drink 1500–2000 mL per day, with small amounts given over the course of the day, mainly drinking plain, boiled water or light tea. Vegetable soup, fish soup, chicken soup, etc., before and after a meal, are good choices.
Managing patient expectations
Published in Ellen J. Belzer, Skills Training in Communication and Related Topics Part 2, 2018
You’ve been doing everything that you’ve always been told to do for colds: taking as many naps as you can (to catch up on the sleep you miss at night); drinking plenty of liquids, especially water, juice, and hot chamomile tea; and trying to stay warm. Although you don’t have much appetite, you have tried to maintain your strength with an occasional bowl of chicken soup. Throat lozenges and ibuprofen seem to offer temporary relief, but not nearly enough. You feel completely miserable.
Catalog of Herbs

Being introduced into Chinese medicinal shops in the U.S. and Europe, sanchi ginseng, a rather expensive item, is suggested as an additive to chicken soup. I suspect it is too expensive for most Chinese to use in chicken soup. Perhaps the chicken soup is as valuable medicinally as the Sanchi but not nearly so expensive. One of its names translates “mountain varnish”, because it is used to stick the edge of wounds together.16

While these issues largely reflect a lack of standardized statistical practices, additional issues exist that require more field-wide efforts. For instance, we foresee the inclusion of dietary components as a major contributor to disentangling the current study-to-study variability. However, current food-based metadata and diaries are often entered as generalized inputs (e.g., protein bar, chicken soup, burrito, etc.). We believe increased granularity is necessary, especially for the inclusion of appropriate databases, which can limit spurious identifications due to sequence or mass homology. This will likely require a significant effort in profiling of individual diet components, which to date has not been undertaken. However, efforts to develop relational ‘food trees’ have helped inform these efforts.108 Multi-omic progress is also impeded by the tremendous percentage of unannotated features, sometimes referred to as the ‘omics dark matter’. Further, zero-inflated matrices generated by current -omics technology is a major source of variation. These two factors together can lead to largely meaningless correlations and significantly mitigate the utility of multi-omics. Given a majority of proteomics and even metabolomics is inferred by genetic sequences, targeted efforts at deep sequencing microbes with significant numbers of unannotated genes should be undertaken. Several additional largely microbe-centric problems also plague multi-omic studies also exist, such as an inability to assign certain sequences.
Dangerous Liaisons: The Time Is Out of Joint
Published in Studies in Gender and Sexuality, 2020
As stated earlier, Anne has trouble formulating her traumatic experiences and she is also reluctant to talk unless she has something “profound” to say. Having grown up as Cinderella and worse, with her self-esteem shattered, she does not trust that she has much to contribute. She dropped out of school, yet she was able to gain and maintain a successful professional position, attesting to her innate intelligence and internal resources overall. Still, she doubts herself all the time. She falls silent a lot. Then we talk about mundane matters, such as food or her cat. Occasionally, we exchange recipes. (Incidentally, she claims that her mother was a terrible cook but she taught herself to be an excellent chef, feeding herself and her family well.) She feels uneasy about “wasting time” but I do not mind. In fact, I welcome those supposedly subversive and unorthodox conversations: They create and reinforce our bond, contribute to holding, provide a feed. Once I shared with her my Old World, from-scratch chicken soup recipe, handed down to me via generations of Yiddishe Mamele. This was another instance of spontaneous yet deliberate self-disclosure (Pizer, 1997) on my part at a moment of micro-impasse when Anne experienced herself as empty and seemed stuck. In the few seconds of the decision-making process, I weighed the downside of further blurring the boundaries by disclosing such intimate details about myself against the potential gain of increased intimacy and forward movement. I chose to take the risk, and as far as one can tell, these moments of connection contributed to much growth.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing for post-stroke post-traumatic stress disorder: Case report using the three-phase approach
Published in Brain Injury, 2022
It was hypothesized that, according to Edmondson’s (1) Enduring Somatic Threat model, the trauma narrative surrounding the current patient would be focused on avoidance versus hypervigilance of bodily sensations and risk for future stroke. However, the material from the patient’s trauma narrative went in a different direction. Through EMDR, it emerged that the patient’s most disturbing experiences were related to how she feels she was treated within the medical system – particularly a perceived lack of belief that she was actually having a stroke, even though she had a deep sense of conviction early on that this is what was happening to her. Given the timing, there may have also been an over-focus on whether the patient had COVID-19, and a tendency to underestimate her concerns given her age and lack of obvious risk factors. Thus, it was not the stroke per se that was a core focus of the PTSD experience, but rather the perceived medical care surrounding the stroke, captured by these quotes below: I was haunted by these recurring, intrusive thoughts: My basic first aid training and intuition tells me that I’m having a stroke. I am being called upon to verbally articulate or visually present the correct symptoms to get the correct diagnosis and treatment. I am failing to convince these medical professionals in COVID hazmat suits and face shields that I am having a stroke. I must be having a stroke incorrectly. I was not soothed to overhear doctors say, “She doesn’t look ‘strokey.’” I was not assured when they sent me home to “eat some chicken soup.” My primary injury was caused by a stroke; my secondary injury was caused by the medical system.
