ABDOMINAL TRAUMA in pediatrics part one.drhasanrajab
Abdominal trauma in pediatrics refers to injuries or damage to the abdominal organs in children. It can occur due to various causes such as falls, motor vehicle accidents, sports-related injuries, and physical abuse. Children are more vulnerable to abdominal trauma due to their unique anatomical and physiological characteristics. Signs and symptoms include abdominal pain, tenderness, distension, vomiting, and signs of shock. Diagnosis involves physical examination, imaging studies, and laboratory tests. Management depends on the severity and may involve conservative treatment or surgical intervention. Prevention is crucial in reducing the incidence of abdominal trauma in children.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

2. What is elder abuse?
• an all-inclusive term representing all types of
mistreatment or abusive behavior toward older adults
(Wolf, 2000, p.7)
• further defined as acts of commission (intentional
behavior) and omission (failure to act)
• self-neglect is the most common form of elder abuse and
the most difficult to detect and treat (Levine, 2003 and
ReynoldsWelfel et al., 2000)
4. Forms of Abuse
Physical - hitting, pushing, slapping, punching,
restraining, pinching, force-feeding, physical
restraint
Psychological - verbal aggression, intimidation, threats,
humiliation
Sexual - any kind of non-consensual sexual contact
5. Forms of Abuse (continued)
Material - theft of cash or personal property, forced
contracts, misuse of income or other financial
resources
Violation of Rights - deprivation of any inalienable right
such as voting, assembly, speech, privacy, personal
liberty
Medical - withholding medication or overmedicating
6. Forms of Abuse (continued)
Abandonment - desertion of an elderly person for
whom one has agreed to care for, “dumping” a
cognitively impaired elder at an emergency room
with no identification
Neglect - failure to provide necessary physical or
mental care of an elderly person
Self-neglect - behavior that threatens one’s own health
or safety
7. Indications of Abuse
Physical - multiple fractures or bruises at various
stages of healing, burns, patterned injuries, patchy
hair loss, frequent visits to ER, delay in seeking
medical treatment for injuries
Psychological - withdrawn behavior, wasting or failure
to thrive, depression
Sexual - genital injury, vaginal or rectal bleeding,
bruises, chipped teeth, sexually transmitted disease
or infestations
8. Indications of Abuse (continued)
Material - unexplained loss of income, assets,
possessions, not eating, missed utility payments
Violation of Rights - isolation, failure to attend church
services or community events as one did previously
Medical - no improvement in condition for which one
was prescribed medication, blood tests indicate
greater or lower than expected levels of
medications, sleepiness, groggy
9. Indications of Abuse (continued)
Abandonment - isolation, not seen outside home,
disrepair or unkempt environment, missed medical
or other appointments or engagements,
wandering, being left somewhere to fend for self
Neglect - uncared for appearance, inappropriate
clothing, failure to thrive, lack of medical or dental
care, isolation
Self-neglect – (similar to neglect)
10. Scope of the Problem
• estimates of the occurrence of elder abuse vary
widely— due in part to the variability in the
definitions used to measure and report abuse
• “mistreatment of adults, including abuse, neglect,
and exploitation, affects more than 1.8 million older
Americans” (Pavlik, Hyman, Festa, Bitondo, and Dyer, 2001, p. 45)
• self-neglect accounts for one-third to one-half of all
abuse cases (Gray-Vickrey, 2000, 2004; Levine, 2003; Paris, 2003)
11. Distribution of Abuse
• distribution of abuse according to sex was reported by
Wolf (2000) to be almost equally divided between males
and females
• Some studies indicate that females are more often victims
of elder abuse (Bratteli2003, Pavlik et al., 2001)
• Patterns of abuse are similar among African Americans,
Latinos, Caucasians, and Asians (Cavanaugh & Blanchard- Fields
cited in Etaugh & Bridges, 2004)
12. Perpetrators of Abuse
• elder abuse can be perpetrated by nearly anyone
including paid or volunteer caregivers, medical and long-
term care employees, family members, significant others,
and in some cases strangers such as a person who
befriends an elderly person for the purpose of exploiting
them (ReynoldsWelfel et al., 2000)
13. Greatest Risk Factors for Causing
Abuse in North Dakota
• being male
• under age 60
• being related
• history of mental illness
• recent decline in mental health
• abusing alcohol
• primary caregiver
• lives with or has access to the adult
they abuse
• change in family roles from being
cared for to being the care provider
• prior history of violence
• (Bratteli, 2003)
14. Theories Explaining Elder Abuse
• affects of caregiver stress
(situational model)
• dependency of elder on caregiver
(exchange theory)
• mental or emotional disturbance of
caregiver (psychopathology)
• repeated cycle of violence (social
learning theory)
• power imbalance in relationships
(feminist theory)
• marginalization of the elderly
within society (political economic
theory)
15. Risk Factors for Being Abuses
• Poor health
• Inability to perform
activities of daily living
• Cognitive impairment
• Living with others
(living alone increases
risk for financial and
self-abuse)
• Social isolation
• Depression, confusion,
substance abuse or
dependence
• Mental or physical
impairment (stroke,
incontinence,
Alzheimer’s)
• Being female
• Over age 85
16. Risk Factors for Perpetrating Abuse
• History of family violence
• Disruptive behavior on behalf of the care
recipient
• Mental illness
• Alcohol or drug abuse or dependence
• Caregiver dependence
17. Perpetrating Risk Factors (continued)
• Stress
• Physical or emotional exhaustion
• Low social integration and/or unemployment
• Lack of community supports
• Insufficient income for basic needs
18. Protective Measures
• Stay sociable and active
• Stay involved with neighbors, friends, church or community
activities
• Get regular medical and dental care
• Open and post your own mail
• Increase social network as you age
• Have friends visit you at home
• Have a “best friend” with whom you can confide in
• Keep in touch with old friends if you move
19. Protective Measures (continued)
• Keep your possession organized
• Tell someone you trust where your important paperwork and
bank account information is kept
• Have checks direct deposited into your account
• Use an answering machine to screen phone calls
• Don’t leave cash or valuables visible
• Notify the police if you will be away from home for an extended
time period
20. Protective Measures (continued)
• Consult with an attorney
• Make arrangement for the future such as power of attorney
• Get legal advise before making/signing agreements regarding
your care or possessions
• Be aware of your financial situation
21. Protective Measures (continued)
• Know where to ask for help
• Find out about community resources before you need them such
as rape and abuse hotlines, senior centers, and adult protective
services
• mental health service centers
• crisis centers
• private counselors
• clergy
• local police
22. Detection andTreatment Barriers
• detection of elder abuse is difficult because denial is an
integral feature of abuse, victims may feel too ashamed
to disclose maltreatment or believe they are to blame for
or deserve the abuse
• dependence on an abuser can make a victim reluctant to
report for fear of how he/she will survives without the
perpetrators help
23. Detection/Treatment Barriers (continued)
• victims may not define their situation as abuse especially
in a dysfunctional family environment where violence or
mistreatment has been “normalized” (Brown et al., 2004,
Levine, 2003)
• cognitive, auditory, speech, visual impairments, isolation
or restraint may make reporting impossible for the victim
of elder abuse
24. Detection/Treatment Barriers (continued)
• ageism can negatively affect detection of elder abuse as it
is common to view the elderly as confused or demented,
to trivialize elders’ complaints, and to adhere to the
perception that elder abuse doesn’t exist
• physical injuries may be masked by clothing or by
isolating the victim
25. Detection/Treatment Barriers (continued)
• fast paced medical services and heavy caseloads of social
service providers may not allow time for adequate
assessment
• basic lack of information of where to turn for help
impedes the intervention and treatment for both
perpetrator and victim of abuse
26. Recommendations
• further research using standardized definitions and
subtypes of elder abuse would provide a better picture of
the scope of the problem
• improved reporting guidelines along with increasing the
number of agencies and their funding is essential.
27. Recommendations (continued)
• Greater understanding of the causation of elder abuse
could lead to the development of effective treatment
programs for abusers
• defining elder abuse in its own terms rather that
modifying guidelines from child abuse legislation would
improve the understanding of elder abuse as a
phenomenon separate and unique from child abuse
