Research Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: December 04, 2025 Delusional Disorder: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Treatment ApproachesAuthor(s): Elie Chamchoum*, Elio Rafka, Mariline Mouawad and Yara El Ratel Abstract: Delusions are persistent, mistaken beliefs that defy external reality and are upheld despite evidence to the contrary. They are a hallmark of various mental and neurological disorders and present a significant challenge in distinguishing them from overvalued ideas. This overview explores the nature, pathogenesis, and clinical management of delusional disorders. Delusions are categorized into several subtypes, including persecutory, jealous, erotomanic, somatic, grandiose, mixed, and unspecified types, each with distinct characteristics and implications for patient behavior. The prevalence of delusional disorder is approximately 0.2%, with a higher incidence in older adults and a notable association with depression. The DSM-5-TR outlines diagnostic criteria emphasizing the persistence of delusions and their impact on functional impairment. |

Editorial Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: October 28, 2025 The Synergistic Role of Topical and Oral Therapies in Chronic Wound Management: A Study Proposal for Diabetic Foot Ulcers and Pressure InjuriesAuthor(s): Kendra Cruickshank* Abstract: Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFU) and Decubitus wounds represent significant complications of diabetes and immobility, often exacerbated by poor glycemic control and prolonged pressure exerted over specific areas of the body. Ulcers are prevalent at the sacrum, ischial tuberosity, greater trochanter, plantar surface, and great toe. A crucial thing to consider during wound healing is adequate nutrition. While traditional treatments focus on symptom management, recent research suggest that biologically active compounds like zinc, vitamins (A, B6, B12, C, D, and folate), copper, aloe vera, leech saliva, and myrrh may synergistically accelerate wound healing. |

Research Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: September 08, 2025 The Bird's Nest Metaphor: From Biblical Text to Mystical VisionAuthor(s): Julian Ungar-Sargon, MD, PhD* Abstract: This comprehensive study examines the evolution of the kan tzipor (bird's nest) metaphor from its origins as a biblical agricultural commandment in Deuteronomy 22:6-7 through its transformation into one of the most sophisticated theological frameworks in Jewish mystical thought. The analysis traces three distinct but interconnected developments: first, the hermeneutical journey from pshat (literal interpretation) through rabbinic debate to mystical vision, demonstrating how Jewish interpretive tradition transforms concrete biblical imagery into profound theological insight; second, the systematic development of the nest metaphor in Jewish mysticism from midrashic foundations through Zoharic innovation to Lurianic cosmic theology; and third, contemporary theological applications that bridge academic scholarship with clinical practice. |

Research Article | Volume: 1, Issue: 2 Published Date: September 01, 2025 Embodied Theology for End-of-Life Care: A Being-With-Nonbeing Approach to Dying PatientsAuthor(s): Julian Ungar-Sargon, MD, PhD* Abstract: Contemporary end-of-life care often fails to address the existential terror that accompanies dying the visceral fear of nonbeing that cannot be resolved through medical information alone. This article proposes an embodied theological framework called ?Being-With-Nonbeing?, which draws on Kabbalistic concepts of at zmut (divine essence) and ayin (nothingness), interpreted primarily through Elliot Wolfson's revolutionary analysis of Jewish mystical dialectics. Building on extensive theological scholarship examining the sacred-profane dialectic in therapeutic encounters, this approach offers practical bedside interventions that help patients and clinicians embody the paradox of presence-within-absence. |
