Anger is a normal human emotion that is crucial for individual’s growth. When handled appropriately and expressed assertively, anger is a positive creative force that leads to problem solving and productive change.
When channeled inappropriately and expressed as verbal aggression or physical aggression, anger is destructive and potentially life threatening force.
it is critical that psychiatric nurses be able to assess patients at risk for violence and intervene effectively with patients before, during and after an aggressive episode.

Trauma & Recovery
What is trauma?
What are some of the ways that you or people you know have experienced trauma?
What is (1) hyperarousal, (2) intrusion and (3) constriction.
What surprised you from the readings?
The systems that give people a sense of control, connection and meaning are overwhelmed.
The incident includes threats to life or bodily integrity, a close personal encounter with violence, or witnessing grotesque death.
The event engenders a feeling of intense fear, helplessness, loss of control, and threat of annihilation.
Trauma often occurs when…
So the healing process must address the reestablishment of control, connection and meaning!

Potentially Traumatic Experiences
Trauma undermines the belief systems that give meaning to human experience.
Traumatized persons can lose trust in themselves, in other people, and in God.
The Traumatized Self
Traumatic Stress
PTSD references a “disorder” characterized by symptoms that imply a high level of daily dysfunction which emerges in the wake of a traumatic experience.
Countless untreated people have sub-clinical traumas that do not impinge severely upon their activities of daily living.
The ordinary response to danger entails a complex system of reactions.
Threat arouses the nervous system, causing the endangered person to go into a state of alert.
Concentration on the immediate threat, allows a person to disregard fatigue or pain.
Changes in arousal, attention, perception, and emotion mobilize the person for either “fightor flight.”
An Ordinary Response
If there is neither time nor strength for fight or flight and death appears imminent, the body will freeze.
The victim of trauma enters an altered state – time slows down, there is no fear or pain.
Fight, Flight or Freeze
Many trauma survivors feel guilt and shame for freezing and not doing more to protect themselves by fighting back or running away.
Understanding that freezing is an automatic response can facilitate the healing process.
Fight, Flight or Freeze
Trauma occurs when the human system for self-defense becomes overwhelmed and/or meaning-making structures become undermined.
Components of our “survival” system tend to persist in an exaggerated state long after the actual danger is over.
Traumatic events can thus produce lasting ...

This includes all relevant anatomy and clinical tests compiled from standard textbooks, Campbell,netter etc..It is comprehensive and best suited for orthopaedicians and orthopaedic residents.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Moyer (1968) presented an early and
influential classification of seven
different forms of aggression, from a
biological and evolutionary point of view.
17. Predatory aggression:
Attack on prey by a predator.
Inter-male aggression:
Competition between males of the same
species over access to resources such
as females, dominance, status, etc.

24. SOCIO-CULTURAL
THEORY
Social determinants of violence are:
Povertyandthe inability to havebasic
necessitiesof life
Disruption of marriages
Productionof single-parent families
Unemployment
Difficulty in maintaininginterpersonalties,
family structureandsocial control.
25. BIOLOGICAL THEORY
Current biological research has
focused on three areas of the brain
believed to be involved in
aggression:
Limbic system
Frontal lobes
Hypothalamus.
29. General Principles of
Management
The safety of patient, clinician , staff ,other
patients and potential intended victims is of
most importance while looking after aggressive
patients
The doors should be open outwards and not be
lockable from inside or capable of being
blocked from inside.

potentially dangerous patients.
For caregivers treating patients with a high
risk for violence behavior, training in basic
self defence techniques and physical
restraint techniques are useful.
