Text rhythmic system: Its energetic and subliminal potentials by Alla Kalyta

“…The paper advances the idea that rhythm energetics and its subliminal potential is based on such postulates: (1) rhythm is generated in the speaker’s psyche at the levels of his/her unconscious (or existential being) and subconscious (or mental and transcendental beings) spheres; (2) the text rhythmic system has a definite emotional and pragmatic potentials that realize a latent manipulative and subliminal influence; (3) generation of the spoken text tempo-rhythm is carried out by means of integrating micro-rhythms of all levels of the speaker’s inner speech into the internal macro-rhythm, which is materialized in the form of an outer tempo-rhythm as a complex means of achieving a subliminal effect of speech. …”

Successful treatment of a keloid on the upper lip by trepanation and radiotherapy: a case report by Xianghui Li, Yong Wei, Zhuren Ruan, Gao Wei, Zhijian Yao

“…Traditional treatments, such as intralesional injections, laser therapy, and surgical excision, have shown limited efficacy and are associated with high recurrence rates.Materials and methods: In a recent case, a 19-year-old male with a keloid on the upper lip did not respond to local injections of triamcinolone acetonide (TAC) or carbon dioxide ablative fractional resurfacing laser therapy.Results: A combined treatment approach involving trepanation and superficial radiotherapy successfully flattened the keloid tissue, with no recurrence observed during a 3-year follow-up period.Conclusions: This case underscores the potential efficiency and safety of combined therapeutic interventions and contributes valuable evidence towards the development of novel treatment strategies for keloids.…”
