Failure to Escape Traumatic Shock by Seligman and Maier The purpose of this study was to determine the type of learning acquisition in dogs that were subjected to three different styles of electric shock. They wanted to determine what method of learning worked the best to avoid a shock for an extended period of time. Each of the three groups of dogs learned escape/avoidance training, however the "escape" group and the "yoked" group gained more training than the normal control group. The "escape" group was taught during their training that touching the side panels during the shock would terminate it. This was repeated 64 times in the harness and the same training was done 10 more times in the shuttle box, 24 hours later. The "yoked" …show more content…
The other question that I would ask is, Why did you only give 10 trials to the dogs? Wouldn't a higher number of trials, say 20, be a bit more reasonable to determine
Blunt force trauma is when a victim is hit with a weapon. This weapon can be a bat, pipe,
In the immediate, as well as long-term aftermath of exposure to trauma, children are at risk of developing significant emotional and behavior difficulties (CWIG, 2012). The most damaging types of trauma include early physical and sexual abuse, neglect, emotional/psychological abuse, exposure to domestic violence and other forms of child maltreatment (Hoch, 2009). Research has shown that children that are exposed to these types of trauma will experience developmental delays including language and verbal processing. Also, they will have risk of poor physiological and psychosocial functioning, and will be vulnerable to emotional and behavioral dysregulation disorders, thus, leading to an increase risk of poor outcomes including substance abuse, suicidality, teen pregnancy and paternity, criminal activity, and revictimization (Hoch, 2009).

In the video, Collateral Damage: The impact of Caring for Persons Who Have Experienced Trauma by Dr. Brian E. Bride was enlightening and informative for professionals who are and will work with traumatized clients. Dr. Bride focused on secondary traumatic stress and the impact it has on one's personal life, professional life, and organization. In this synopsis, I will reiterate the key points, implications of treatment, and the role of social work that Dr. Bride spoke about in the video.
Melanie Reece presented on Blast induced neurotrauma, which can cause damage to the brain and cause permanent damage. Research regarding Blast induced Neurotrauma started around WW1, most cases were regarding shell shock. Blast induced traumatic brain injury (BINT) can cause damaging effects that linger on, after the initial shock, mainly due to the impact on specific areas in the brain. BINT’s have different types of severity, ranging from mild to severe.
The ulnar or medial collateral ligament is one of two ligaments that is a part of the elbow joint, running along the medial side of the arm and acts as the connection between the distal portion of the humerus to the proximal portion of the ulna. The ulnar collateral ligament is largely responsible for the stability and use of the elbow as well as assisting in the flexing and extending of the arm. The ulnar collateral ligament can become overly damaged in a few different ways, such as a broken arm where the broken fragment of bone severs the ligament, or a severe impact or collision that causes the ligament to stretch beyond its elastic capabilities, leading to a sprain or even a tear. While this type of traumatic injury is highly possible, the most common

Postpartum hemorrhage kills more new mothers than any other cause—an estimated 71,800 annually ("Driving progress toward 2015").
In recovery a person with an addiction may go through a period of struggles or melancholy deeply rooted from a dark mood that qualifies as being a dark night of the soul. Often times, caused by true life changes and undesirable experience of the soul itself. Meanwhile, a seemingly insignificant event may cause a dark night to occur. Even when individuals experience spiritual crisis, it may cause a tremendous disruption in their mental, emotional, physical, and social functioning during sobriety or recovery. Basically, trauma or a detrimental event such as: failure, conscious or unconscious memories, and significant loss may ignite, when a person realize the highs and how the low points has ruined or caused them to be in a dark place in their
6. Electric Collars - These specialized collars are popular with trainers, particularly for hunting dogs. They use small electric shocks to correct misbehavior but should never be used by inexperienced owners or for casual household training.
Trauma, or unintentional (accidental) injuries, is the leading cause of death in individuals in the age groups 1-44 and is the fifth leading cause of mortality in the United states (Heron,2010). The major cause of preventable deaths from these traumas was caused by uncontrollable hemorrhaging (Alam, 2009). If doctors had more time to evaluate and repair the damage, they could prevent deaths caused by uncontrolled hemorrhaging. A new clinical trial using induced hypothermia is being conducted by Samuel A. Tisherman at the University of Pittsburg Medical Center (UMPC) Presbyterian Hospital to enable surgeons to fix the structural damage that would otherwise be fatal. This revolutionary procedure is called
Yes, your dog will be shocked in the training. But it won't hurt him, and he will learn the boundary of the containment area (be sure to work with him along the ENTIRE boundary). It could take as much as a month (maybe more) in most cases. This is one of the reasons that some people will tell you that the fence doesn't work. They didn't take the time to train their dog,and will blame the fence.
It is amazing how some diseases can end the life of someone gradually to the point of consuming completely and bring them to death, but the most surprising about this is that these diseases can be caused by daily activities. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is a neurodegenerative progressive disease. It means that affects the activities that a person normally performs, they start to lose the balance, movement, speaking, breathing, and in some occasions affects the heart. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a terrible disease for those who suffer from this, because it derives more diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Dementia, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s disease. CTE is developed for repetitive blows to the head and the majority of the time is difficult

Hemorrhagic shock results from a life-threatening loss of blood and leads to tissue ischemia and insufficient evacuation of cellular metabolic degradation products. Mortality is linked directly to massive blood loss or occurs indirectly due to secondary multiple organ failure. In particular, loss of gastrointestinal, renal, hepatic, and pulmonary function is frequent after hemorrhagic shock (1). Current guidelines for nonsurgical treatment of hemorrhagic shock recommend rapid volume resuscitation by using crystalloids to restore the intravascular volume (2). However, this practice is controversial because aggressive restoration of intravascular volume with a rapid increase in blood pressure before controlling hemorrhage can lead to increased
