    Summary: This book describes different kinds of psychological, physical and sexual maltreatment and explains their possible consequences, especially as regards quality of life, psychopathology and sexual life. The focus is specifically on the victims of abuse, who are among the more frail and vulnerable members ofsociety. The book examines the impacts of maltreatment of both children and social minorities, such as homosexuals and gender dysphoric individuals or those affected by disabilities and describes skills that are of value in supporting victims of maltreatment and preventing discrimination. The work will be useful to sexual medicine specialists, medical doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as graduate students in these disciplines. By fostering a better understanding of discrimination triggers and effects, it will help clinicians to provide improved support through the tailoring of therapies to the needs of maltreated individuals.

    Lymphoid elements of the thymus were studied by scanning electron microscopy in rabbits susceptible to tuberculosis. The complete Freund adjuvant causes in the thymus a 3-fold decrease in the number of cells with the properties of T-lymphocytes, and an appearance of a new type of cell elements (polygonal shape, with cytoplasmic outgrowths). Formation of a focus of tuberculosis and the development of destructive changes in the lungs occur under conditions of a progressive decrease in the number of T- and B-lymphocytes in the thymus. Delimitation of the pathological process in the lung is characterized by an increase in the number of T- and B-lymphocytes and considerable predominance of polygonally shaped cells with cytoplasmic outgrowths of different lengths and their subsequent replacement by a cell form transitory between T- and B-lymphocytes. A relatively favourable course of the process in the lungs is observed when the cell elements in the thymus differentiate towards B-lymphocytes.
