This chapter explores images of plant life in philosophy and literature with particular focus on the works of Friedrich Nietzsche and Jean-Paul Sartre. It pursues the question of what we can learn about the nature of the human being and its place in the world from plants and the way they are rooted in earth. Over the past half-century, many voices identify our disconnection from the earth with the centrality of technological progress, capitalist production, industrialization, and globalization that are essential to our modern self-understanding and way of life. What was supposed to be the root of human distinction has ended up uprooting us. Is this because we have a distorted view of what it means to be rooted in the first place, and our dependency on the rootedness of plant life? This chapter interrogates the metaphor of the root in Jean-Paul Sartre’s famous novel Nausea. Whereas Sartre considers the earth as an inert background in relation to human purposes: always there, meaningless, the earth is the static backdrop of our human drama, Nietzsche’s vegetal imaginary puts forward an idea of human life as deeply embedded in both earthly and planetary life.

The term dolichoectasia refers to generalized nonfocal vessel elongation and tortuosity and is a frequent manifestation of advanced atherosclerosis. It most commonly occurs in posterior circulation (vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia), followed by supraclinoid internal cerebral artery. Patients with vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysms may present with symptoms related to mass effect, ischemia or hemorrhage. We present a 59 year old male presented to the neurological emergency department with acute vertigo, drowsiness, nausea and sudden worsening of bilateral hearing loss. He was diagnosed with vertebrobasilar fusiform aneurysm

This chapter describes the primary interventions for the lack of interest presentation of ARFID, including:

• Step-by-step instructions for interoceptive exposures to habituate to feelings of nausea, fullness, or bloating to support eating enough for adequate nutritional intake

• Self-monitoring to increase awareness of hunger cues

• Reconnecting to the pleasure of eating by using the five steps with highly preferred foods

Nineteen Eighty-Four is a novel about being dirty and dirtied. This chapter shows how the representations of things like mess and dirt and associated feelings like nausea, disgust, and squeamishness are bound up in revealing ways with Orwell’s depictions of the differences between totalitarian rulers and the subjects they rule. Moving in sequence through considerations of how Orwell gives filth, nausea, and disgust interesting things to do in the novel, the chapter traces a pattern of symbolic relations which culminates in the differences between the apparent cleanliness of Oceania’s political systems and the nigh-on inescapable muck of its citizens, and of the spaces they inhabit. The puritanism of Ingsoc accepts the reality of dirt, seeks to annihilate the sex instinct, and is temperamentally opposed to the aesthetic. In tracing that puritanism, Orwell made a narrative virtue of squalor. Coursing through Nineteen Eighty-Four, in other words, is a pattern of relations to do with the political work of filth and the ideological consequences of its avoidance (or apparent avoidance). This actualizing of squalor enabled Orwell to create a perennially applicable literary dystopia. It also helped him think through the complexities and inconsistencies of a politics built on the logics of filth.

Antiemetic choice is dictated by the mechanism of vomiting, whether from gastric distension (prokinetic), poisoning (centrally acting) or vestibular disturbance (targeting acetylcholine or H2 receptors). Readers are provided with information on the most commonly used antiemetics and their clinical use to help guide therapy.

After millennia of use as a folk remedy, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine declared there is conclusive or substantial evidence that cannabinoids are effective for the treatment of chronic pain in adults, nausea and vomiting due to chemotherapy and for improving the spasticity of multiple sclerosis. The Academies’ statement contradicts the FDA’s placing marijuana on Schedule I as a dangerous drug with no medical use. Considerable basic research also establishes its potential medical use for bone fractures, osteoporosis, head trauma, stroke, MI, cancer, stress related disease such as PTSD, inflammation, and neurodegenerative disease. Understanding the potential value of cannabinoid-based medications requires understand the function of our natural endocannabinoid system and the unique properties of CBD separate from THC. CBD produces many of marijuana’s medical benefits by altering how cannabinoid receptors respond to endocannabinoids and THC. CBD’s modulation of THC is particularly evident in its reduction of psychotic reactions to THC and possible value in treatment resistant schizophrenia. CBD has a high safety profile, may be useful for anxiety, insomnia, and has FDA approval for severe childhood epilepsy. Unfortunately, intensive marketing has made CBD a fad without rigorous scientific proofs of its often exaggerated benefits.
