Until recently, mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) or "concussion" was generally ignored as a major health issue. However, emerging evidence suggests that this is by no means mild, considering it induces persisting neurocognitive dysfunction in many individuals. Although little known about the pathophysiological aspects of mTBI, there growing opinion diffuse axonal (DAI) may play key role. To explore possibility, we adapted model head rotational acceleration swine to produce mTBI scaling...
This study provides an exploration of factors implicated in the intergenerational cycle child maltreatment. Families with newborns where at least one parents was physically and/or sexually abused as a (AP families) were compared terms risk to families had no childhood history victimization (NAP families). The mediational properties maltreatment then explored.Information collected by community nurses part 'health visiting' service. Data collated across 4351 families, which 135 (3.1%) parent...
Research studies over the years have attempted to demonstrate and highlight developmental delay in maltreated children. These delays could contribute a lower readiness for school. This literature review investigates whether infants primary school-age children with history of maltreatment really been shown struggle at school due specific delay. The extent maltreatment, definition problems, parenting styles are discussed results systematic empirical presented. majority cited this indicate that...
A group of 140 child molesters (59 participating in community-based sex offender treatment programs and 81 incarcerated molesters) were compared on a range psychological measures to nonoffenders. Child found be significantly lower self-esteem, higher emotional loneliness personal distress, show deficits victim empathy. Further differences between high- low-deviancy offenders terms assertiveness, perspective taking, cognitive distortions regarding children, congruence with children. General...
Recent findings have cast doubt on vasospasm as the sole cause of delayed cerebral ischemia after subarachnoid hemorrhage.We reviewed medical records 29 patients who died hemorrhage. Brain sections were taken from insula, cingulate gyrus, and hippocampus. Adjacent stained with hematoxylin-eosin immunostained for thromboemboli. The density (burden) latter was calculated blindly correlated evidence amount blood.There is a strong correlation between microclot burden ischemia. Patients clinical...
Children's exposure to violence is a major public health issue. The Balkan epidemiological study on Child Abuse and Neglect project aimed collect internationally comparable data exposures in childhood. A three stage stratified random sample of 42,194 school-attending children (response rate: 66.7%) grades (aged 11, 13 16 years) was drawn from schools Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Former Yugoslavian Republic Macedonia (FYROM), Greece, Romania, Serbia Turkey. Children...
Domestic violence has severe physical and mental health consequences, yet many women remain in abusive relationships.Domestic is generally more prevalent among ethnic minorities than majorities.Yet, little known about reasons to stay leave within minority groups.Therefore, we examined for staying leaving relationships an ethnically diverse sample of female domestic victims from the United Kingdom.In-depth interviews with 20 intimate partner (40% identifying as minority) were analyzed using...
This study extends previous research (Dixon, Browne, & Hamilton-Giachritsis, 2004) by exploring the mediational properties of parenting styles and their relation to risk factors in intergenerational cycle child maltreatment. Families with newborns where at least one parents was physically and/or sexually abused as a (AP families) were compared, terms parents' attributions behaviour, families had no childhood history victimization (NAP families).Information collected from 4351 (135 AP...
This study investigates the prevalence of, and differences in, risk factor characteristics in a sample of two select populations carers, one which physically abused their elderly dependants neglected them. Nineteen carers (nine who had 10 relatives), were referred to clinical psychology by either general practitioner or psychiatrist, invited take part this study. A detailed history factors was obtained, including alcohol dependency, type mental ill health, maltreatment earlier life, they...
Abstract There is great concern that one mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) predisposes individuals to an exacerbated response with a subsequent mTBI. Although no mechanism has been identified, mounting evidence suggests axonal (TAI) plays role in this process. By using cell culture system, threshold of TAI was found where dynamic stretch cortical axons at strains lower than 5% induced overt pathological changes. However, the were display increased expression sodium channels (NaChs) by 24...
This study examines the integration of statistical and psychological risk factors using psychometric markers psychopathology psychosexual characteristics from Static-99 in 119 sexual offenders. Psychological are combined to approximate four deviancy domains: interests, distorted attitudes, socio-affective functioning, self-management. The interests domain predicts reconviction independent Static-99. domains used calculate Deviance Index, which was also found predict Organizing items into...
Abstract School shootings are a concern due to their impact in the local community. This paper aimed (a) establish frequent characteristics of offender and offence, (b) explore differences between offenders who over age 18 years those younger, (c) consider underlying themes offence characteristics. Data were collected on 28 cases through accessing resources such as West Law case studies. The majority Caucasian US citizens suffered from depression. Their offences primarily well planned,...
