PHYSIOLOGICAL GENOMICS IN MANIA
Mania is a common psychological problem seen around the world. This neuropsychiatric disorder is an important issue for studying in neuropsychiatry. An important item to be studied is the pathogenesis. Molecular pathogenesis of mania has never been clarified, hence, the research to clarify this issue is warranted. In fact, to study the molecular pathogenesis of any disease, the investigation into the genomics level is required. The application of advanced genomics technique can be used to understand etiopathogenesis of complex disease. The new technique can be applied for the mania. To clarify the pathogenesis of mania, the author use standard physiological geneomics analysis to clarify the etiopathogenesis of the disease. Of interest, there is no observed physiogenomics relationship on chromosomes. It can imply that mania might not have a genetic. However, it should have an epigenic origin. This can imply that the etiopathogenesis is different from the other well-known genetic based disorders in psychological medicine such as Alzheimer's disease.

  CARDIAC CHANGES IN EPILEPSY
The cardiac changes that could happen in non cardiac patients with intractable epilepsy were studied. The serum levels measurement of a novel cardiac marker namely, the Heart type fatty acid binding protein were performed and indicated an increase in both the ictal and the inter-ictal phases, as well as changes detected at the analysis of the ictal and the inter-ictal electrocardiographic changes in such patients. Through our results we cast the light on the possibility of a sort of asymptomatic cardiac ischemia that could accompany intractable epilepsy.

LA IDENTIDAD EN PSIQUIATRÍA: ASPECTOS CONCEPTUALES
El concepto identidad se emplea frecuentemente en la práctica psiquiátrica, pero no se conoce suficientemente bien su referente. Es una ficción construida narrativamente sobre la dialéctica entre lo que se es y lo que se quiere ser. Se fundamenta sobre los ámbitos de la afectividad, la corporalidad y la alteridad. Y se constituye en el tiempo por medio de las acciones, las decisiones y las valoraciones éticas.
