...Essentials of Psychology SSC130 Essay 25072400 The Canon-Bard Theory of Emotion Of the three models of emotion, I have chosen to describe, and relate my personal life to the Canon-Bard Theory. In summary, the Canon-Bard Theory states that the stimulus of the thalamus (or hypothalamus and limbic system with regards to new research) sends signals to both the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and to the cerebral cortex simultaneously to produce emotion. In my daily life as a surgical research anesthetist, I am faced with many crisis situations in which quick response is a necessity. I believe that the Canon-Bard Theory is the most accurate description of the way that I perceive emotions in crisis situations. Being a surgical research anesthetist sounds like a pretty dull and boring job to most people. Some people might think that all one does, is sit in a chair and watch the repetitive blips on a monitor. They would be wrong. It is actually a puzzle. It is a complex puzzle that requires your complete attention and the ability to recognize the events that could lead to a life or death situation. For seventeen years I have studied all aspects of surgery and anesthesia. I have seen hundreds, if not thousands of surgeries. The majority of the anesthetic plans that I have designed have been successful and uneventful, but there have been cases in which something goes wrong or someone makes a mistake that can get you out of your chair, fast! The surgeries being performed...

...This essay argues why nuclear technology used in medicine is beneficial and the advancement of nuclear medicine should continue in the future. Nuclear medicine uses radioisotopes for both treatment and diagnostic purposes. Radioactive tracer molecules are emitted to produce images, which can then be used to examine and diagnose a patient to provide further treatment. Radiation is also used to treat cancer by eradicating cancerous cells. Further advancements of nuclear technology is conducted in trials and is progressing to hopefully treat different types of disease, all using radionuclides. Radionuclides are chemical elements that are radioactive with short half-lives. Although they can be found in nature, all radionuclides used in nuclear...

...most people will have experienced personally, whether aware of it at the time or not. An example of this might be driving a car along a regular route and arriving at the destination with no memory of the journey, having performed the activity safely and reliably while in another sense being quite detached from the experience. This altered level of consciousness is the starting point for the hypnotic process through an induction which focuses on relaxation, inner experiences, feelings and imagery (Heap & Naish, 2012: 7). It is generally accepted that hypnosis is a different experience to that of being awake or being asleep but debate remains over its true nature within academic and scientific circles (Karle & Boys, 2010:14). This essay will discuss the nature of hypnosis, focusing on the psychological and physical aspects while touching on the role of relaxation. Hypnosis is a complex psychological phenomenon and one which is difficult to find an agreed definition for. Indeed the American Psychological Association definition of hypnosis in 2003 is almost 300 words long but centres around hypnosis being a procedure of suggestions where one person (the subject) is guided by the other (the hypnotist) to respond to suggestions around subjective experience, changes in perception, sensations, thoughts or behaviours (Green et al, 2005). Hypnosis has also been helpfully and simply described as “focusing the attention in the suggested direction” (Mende, 2009) where the direction...

...Maddie Bowman Susan Zelms English 101 October 28, 2013 Informative essay rough draft Every four out of ten teens will get pregnant before they turn 20. Almost fifty percent of teens have never thought about how a pregnancy would affect their lives even though having a baby could be one of the most life-changing experiences a person can have. Choosing this topic interested me because I enjoy watching the show Teen Mom and it was always interesting to me what their lives are like with having a baby at age 18 or younger. What I really wanted to find through research were the statistics on pregnancy rates. Researching this topic will give me a further understanding of exactly how many mothers get pregnant and the outcomes of different decisions. The decisions in which a pregnant mother makes should benefit her son or daughter instead of herself. Teen pregnancy causes unwanted stress, financial problems, and most of all it interferes with completing school. Now that this topic has been introduced, now we can get a deeper look on what exactly a teen mom goes through and how it will affect her in the decisions she makes. Teen mothers should be making good decisions in what’s best for her child as far as completing high school and enrolling in college. Education is still an important responsibility of a teen mother. Finishing high school and pursuing a college education will allow her to be able to financially support her child and become more independent. Statistics show...

...Persistent low-grade inflammation has been identified as a significant contributor to the development of several chronic diseases, (Niklas et al, 2005) including heart disease and type II diabetes (Woods et al, 2009). Inflammation is indicated by an increased concentration of tumor necrosis factor (TNF), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and C-Reactive protein (CRP) in the bloodstream (Niklas et al, 2005). This elevation may be due to a number of factors, including increased visceral adipose tissue secreting cytokines (Niklas et al, 2005), decreased circulatory levels of interleukin-10 (IL-10), and elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. (4) This essays aims to show the role that exercise can play in reducing inflammation, and will examine this effect in an obese, type II diabetic population. This reduced inflammation will be looked at in terms of three different mechanisms; the first is a reduction of visceral fat from exercise, leading to a decrease in adipokine secretion, the second is the increased release of anti-inflammatory cytokines from skeletal muscle contraction, and the third is the release of adrenal hormones, leading to a release of anti-inflammatory catecholamines. Inflammation can be acute or chronic and is indicated by a ‘two-to four-fold increase in circulating pro and anti-inflammatory cytokines’ (Woods et al, 2009) and by the presence of proteins such as CRP. The inflammation response can be due to trauma or as a result of factors such as obesity. Obesity can lead...

...The Conventional Autopsy still has an Important Role in Modern Medicine RACHNA BAJAJ INTRODUCTION Human dissection has historically been carried out in search for humours, worms, miasmas and divine spells to explain what caused illness and death. However, as ‘scientific’ thinking advanced, there was a desire to understand disease based on the empirical evidence obtained from post-mortem examinations.1 This gave birth to one of the most important gold standards of diagnosis, a great tool for medical audit and probably the best teaching method of medicine – the autopsy. The words ‘autopsy’, ‘necropsy’ and ‘post-mortem examination’ are synonymous with each other and refer to the investigation of the human body involving an external examination followed by the dissections of the head, thorax and the abdomen. The word autopsy literally means ‘to see for oneself’. Autopsy rates in the United Kingdom (UK) currently stand at 21.9%, out of which only 0.4% are not requested by a coroner and the most common request for an autopsy occurs in cases of unexpected deaths where the cause is not apparent. Autopsies are also carried out for determination of manner of death, evaluation of ante-mortem and post-mortem diagnosis, epidemiological purposes, survey outbreaks, medical audit, research, teaching, forensic purposes and to enlighten/reassure families or inform then of hereditary diseases. Despite the well-recognised importance of autopsies in twenty-first century medicine...

We're so exquisitely privileged to be living in this time, to be born right on the precipice of the greatest paradigm shift in human history, the only thing that approaches the importance of that reality is finding like minds that realize the same, and being able to make some connection with them.

...Subject: Successful Princeton Applicant Through all of my accomplishments and disappointments, I have always been especially proud of the dedication and fervor I possess for my personal beliefs and values. Unfortunately, it has often been difficult for me to remain outwardly firm and confident in a town where most people think alike and reject exceptions. Whenever I have expressed my position as a pro-life advocate, peers have badgered, accused, and ridiculed me for simply believing in something that they scorn. Despite all the pressure, I never waive red from my belief, yet I became frustrated and began to lose the courage to publicly express my opinion on this controversial topic. To gain some insight and reassurance for myself, I attended the New Jersey Right to Life Convention in the spring of 1995. This experience uplifted me and offered great inspiration and enlightenment. At the convention I received an overwhelming amount of support and encouragement from wonderful people who advocate the very principles I believe in. This convention was so inspiring that the next day in school I was able to relate my experience to one of my biggest opponents on the subject. Also, the abundant information available at the convention enabled me to defend my position on abortion more effectively. Attending this convention accomplished two things. It proved my commitment to my belief, in that I took the initiative to strengthen and support my opinion, refusing to give up or lose heart. Unlike...

...English Contents ABOUT THIS BOOK ................................5 THE WORDS.............................................7 WORD ANALYSIS ...............................103 IDIOM AND USAGE ............................117 About This Book English offers perhaps the richest vocabulary of all languages, in part because its words are culled from so many languages. It is a shame that we do not tap this rich source more often in our daily conversation to express ourselves more clearly and precisely. There are of course thesauruses but they mainly list common words. Other vocabulary books list difficult, esoteric words that we quickly forget or feel self-conscious using. However, there is a bounty of choice words between the common and the esoteric that often seem be just on the tip of our tongue. Vocabulary 4000 brings these words to the fore. Whenever possible, one-word definitions are used. Although this makes a definition less precise, it also makes it easier to remember. Many common words appear in the list of words, but with their less common meanings. For example, the common meaning of champion is “winner.” A less common meaning for champion is to support or fight for someone else. (Think of the phrase “to champion a cause.”) This is the meaning that would be used in the list. As you read through the list of words, mark any that you do not know with a check mark. Then when you read through the list again, mark any that you do not remember with two checks. Continue in this...
