Health24.com | Many can suffer facial paralysis – and its emotional toll

You Need Posted on by

Each year, hundreds of thousands of Americans develop some form of facial paralysis from a variety of causes.

The loss of facial control and expression that follows can bring sometimes devastating stigma, depression and anxiety, a new study shows.

This seems especially true for people whose facial paralysis came later in life instead of from birth, researchers noted.

There are a number of conditions that can cause facial paralysis. Some are congenital, or present at birth. Others are acquired later in life. A common cause of facial paralysis is stroke.

Stigma major predictor

“We were interested in the psychosocial factors that people with facial paralysis might experience, and if there were differences in people born with a condition compared to people who acquired facial paralysis,” said study author Kathleen Bogart. She’s director of the Disability and Social Interaction Lab at Oregon State University.

“When we looked at the major predictors of depression and anxiety, stigma was the main one. A lot of these conditions look the same from the outside, but the stigma part doesn’t change,” Bogart said.

She said there is surprisingly little public awareness of facial paralysis. And sometimes the paralysis might not be easy to recognise.

“Peoples’ faces may not be expressive, or their expressions may be unusual. The smile might look like a scowl,” Bogart explained.

The researchers said about 225 000 Americans develop facial paralysis every year. Congenital conditions, such as Moebius syndrome or birth trauma, can cause facial paralysis. Injuries or conditions like Bell’s palsy can cause acquired facial paralysis. Acquired paralysis is more common.

Highest depression and anxiety

The researchers surveyed 112 people with congenital facial paralysis and 434 people with acquired facial paralysis. The volunteers came from 37 different countries, but the majority of them were from the United States. The average age was 45 years old.

Both groups had higher rates of depression and anxiety than the general population. Those with acquired facial paralysis had the highest levels of depression and anxiety, the study found.

What might make it harder for those with acquired paralysis?

Bogart said it’s possible that people with congenital paralysis may have developed adaptive or compensatory behaviours. Typically, children learn from an early age to use expressions as a form of nonverbal communication. Since that wasn’t an option for children with facial paralysis, they found other ways to communicate. She likened it to the way young children are often adept at picking up new languages, while adults seem to struggle more.

“If you don’t encounter a language when you’re between one and three, it’s more difficult later to pick up a new language. The same thing may be going on with nonverbal emotions,” Bogart said.

Brittany LeMonda, a senior neuropsychologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City, was not part of the study but reviewed the findings.

She said it makes sense that “someone born with this type of neurological presentation would learn to adjust and develop their social relationships. But if you don’t have that ability, and you experience facial paralysis later in life, it could be more challenging to learn how to accommodate.”

More tolerance is important

LeMonda noted that society is so focused on cosmetic beauty and outward appearances that acquiring paralysis later in life might make someone feel more self-conscious, as if people are staring at them even if they aren’t.

She recommended that anyone who’s having trouble with facial paralysis seek out a support group because it’s helpful to talk to people who have dealt with the same concerns. LeMonda said it’s also helpful to speak with a therapist, who can offer tools to cope.

Bogart added: “It’s human nature to notice difference, but more tolerance of diversity in facial expressions and appearance is important. People with facial paralysis are not sad and anxious because they have paralysis, per se. They’re sad and anxious because of the way society reacts to them.”

The study was published recently in Health Psychology.

News24.com | PIC | 3 KZN cops, two staffers help to deliver baby at police station

You Need Posted on by

Three KwaZulu-Natal police officers and two Folweni police station staffers went above and beyond the call of duty to help deliver a baby on Wednesday.

KZN police spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele said that a woman in her 20s arrived at the police station while she was in labour, desperately seeking help.

“The members could see that the baby was coming but there was no doctor who could assist her to deliver the baby,” Mbhele said.

At around 07:00, the station commander tried to arrange a van to take her to a nearby hospital, but it was too late.

Mrs Shezi, a former midwife who lives close to the station, was called instead.

“There were three officers, Captain Muthwa, Constables Madlala and Ndlovu as well as two other staff members from the police station gathered to help with the delivery,” said Mbele.

The ambulance arrived after the mother gave birth to a baby boy.

“They were both transported to Prince Mshiyeni Memorial Hospital to check if everything was okay with the baby,” Mbhele added.

Type: Permanent
Company: Ogilvy Cape Town

Job description

We are looking for a data analyst to work within our data planning and analytics team.

Who Ogilvy needs…

You are passionate about data, and using data to drive modern marketing. The successful candidate will be responsible for working with a portfolio of clients. You need an excellent, in-depth level of knowledge of the methodologies, tools and approaches for doing analytics, reporting and insights. You will be working with data from digital, through-the-line, CRM and social marketing sources; from client first-party and third-party data; and from various MarTech platforms and insights tools.

Ogilvy Data Planning and Analytics is a dynamic and innovation-driven environment. Sometimes you will be doing reporting work that’s been done before; often you will be helping to define new ways to interpret and collect data so that we can understand our client’s businesses and customers – and then track our marketing and engagement work with impeccable accuracy and clarity. And then you’ll be figuring out how we optimise that knowledge to help make brands matter.

Who are you now?

  • You may be stuck in a corporate basement running the same analysis month-after-month.
  • You may be in pure research space, but yearn to be part of a team that turns insights into marketing work-that-works.
  • You may be a paid-media or performance campaign Jedi who is eager to do more than just optimise for whatever platform’s latest algorithm.
  • You may be an agency data reporter or data analyst who is keen to grow and work with bigger data, more engaged clients and teams who really are doing data-driven work.
  • You may have just finished your data-driven marketing course and be thinking, “What next?”
  • You may be another kind of data-passionate and an advertising-loving person that we haven’t even thought about…

Every month has a different client and internal opportunities and problems-to-solve. In general, a month will include:

Reporting and analysis

  • Analysing online user behaviour, conversion data and customer journeys, funnel analysis and multi-channel attribution
  • Performing ROI analysis to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of different marketing campaigns
  • Performing ad-hoc analytics and conversion optimisation consultancies for clients and influencing conversion optimisation strategies with solid analytical data

Data-driven insights

  • What it says: using data, tools and your own skill and experience to mine for insights around audiences, campaigns, clients, sectors, industries and more.

Analytical and technical

  • Providing consultancy on campaign tagging and additional on-site tracking
  • Spotting potential to implement innovative new methodologies and improve the analytical procedure
  • Using available data sources to deep dive and troubleshoot campaign (and overall) performance issues and propose methodical optimisation tests, both on-site and campaign based

Inter- and intra agency collaboration

  • Identifying and exploring opportunities to cross-sell services and support new client acquisition
  • Collaborating with the design and development teams
  • Collaborating with the search and social teams to enhance client reporting and performance measurement and conduct detailed analysis work when required
  • Experience in working within a marketing/business intelligence environment

Campaign strategy and measurement

  • Identifying client objectives and advising on suitable measurement strategies
  • Benchmarking performance across all online channels and
  • Development of KPI framework
  • Ensuring relevant tracking is put in place
  • Using methodical performance analysis to influence/support campaign strategies

Client and internal focus 

  • Delivering regular reporting and analysis documentation to clients and presenting findings or test results to clients.
  • Representing the data planning and analytics team in client meetings and pitch presentations
  • Assisting in educating clients and internal teams on the importance of data planning and analytics

Requirements

To apply for the role you must have:

  • Minimum of three years’ proven experience in a data-focused role (data analytics, data planning, campaign management and evaluation, data strategy, data modelling)
  • Good knowledge of and experience in working with a range of data analytics tools (CRM, digital analytics, social media listening, data visualisation, Excel, R, etc.)

  • Experience or significant understanding of working with optimisation tools for A/B and multivariate testing
