Dissociative disorders & conversion disordersULLEKH P G
Dissociative disorders involve disruptions or breakdowns in how a person integrates their thoughts, memory, identity, and perception of the environment. Common types include dissociative amnesia, dissociative fugue, dissociative identity disorder, trance/possession disorders, and conversion disorder. These disorders often develop as a result of trauma or abuse during childhood and involve defense mechanisms like repression and dissociation. People with dissociative disorders experience symptoms like memory loss, identity confusion, anesthesia or paralysis without physical cause, and lack of conscious control over their own behavior. Treatment involves psychotherapy to help people process the underlying traumatic experiences and integrate their sense of self.
Consultation and liaison psychiatry meاحمد البحيري
Consultation-liaison psychiatry involves psychiatrists consulting on patients in medical settings to address intersections between physical and mental health. Issues include capacity to consent, conflicts with medical teams, and patients reporting physical symptoms due to underlying mental disorders. The consultant evaluates patients for suspected psychiatric disorders, agitation, suicidal/homicidal thoughts, and high psychiatric risk factors. Common reasons for consultations include psychiatric symptoms, lack of organic cause for symptoms, and non-compliance.
PTSD is an anxiety disorder that develops after exposure to a traumatic or dangerous event. Symptoms include re-experiencing the trauma through flashbacks or nightmares, avoidance of trauma-related stimuli, increased arousal and negative mood, and can start within 3 months of the event and last for longer than a month. Effective treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy such as exposure therapy and cognitive restructuring, as well as antidepressant medication.

It then defines sexual dysfunction and outlines its classification according to the DSM-5, including desire, arousal, orgasm, sexual pain disorders, and those due to medical conditions. Specific disorders like male hypoactive sexual desire disorder and female sexual interest/arousal disorder are then discussed in more detail such as their criteria, contributing factors, risk factors, and treatment options involving somatic and psychosocial approaches.
The document discusses substance-related disorders and their classification. It notes that psychoactive substances have been used in many cultures throughout history and can affect the brain. Substance-related disorders include substance use disorders like dependence and abuse, as well as substance-induced disorders like intoxication and withdrawal. The prevalence of substance-related disorders is highest between ages 18-24 and diagnoses are more common in men generally.
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health condition triggered by traumatic events that is characterized by symptoms like flashbacks, nightmares, anxiety and sleep issues. PTSD can develop within days of the triggering event and affects people differently. While it can occur at any age, adults are more likely to develop PTSD than children, especially after experiences like war, terrorism, sexual assault, abuse or the sudden death of a loved one. Recommended treatments include cognitive-behavioral therapy, family therapy, medication, and EMDR therapy.
Obsessive compulsive disorder is defined by feelings of compulsion to perform repetitive behaviors or dwell on obsessive thoughts. It is caused by genetic and biochemical factors and treated with antidepressants, exposure therapy, and other psychotherapies.

Anxiety disorders are a group of mental conditions characterized by feelings of fear, worry and anxiety. The main types are generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. They are caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors. Symptoms can include excessive worrying, panic attacks, compulsions and fears. Treatment involves therapy, relaxation techniques, medication or a combination of these depending on the specific disorder.
Depression is underrecognized and undertreated in older adults. It is not a normal part of aging. Major depression affects 1-2% of healthy older adults and 10-45% of hospitalized or nursing home older adults. Risk factors include physical illness, substance abuse, and medications. Symptoms include depressed mood, loss of interest, changes in appetite, insomnia, fatigue, guilt, and suicidal thoughts. The Geriatric Depression Scale is commonly used to screen for depression. Treatment includes pharmacotherapy with SSRIs or TCAs and psychotherapy, which can improve quality of life. Untreated depression increases risks of suicide, especially in older white males, and other health complications.
Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive, uncontrollable worry about everyday things. It has a lifetime prevalence of 5% in the US and is more common in women, low SES individuals, and those with a family history. Symptoms include restlessness, fatigue, difficulty concentrating, irritability, muscle tension and sleep disturbances. Treatment involves cognitive behavioral therapy to change negative thought patterns, exposure therapy, and medication such as SSRIs, benzodiazepines, and buspirone. Prevention focuses on healthy lifestyle habits and social support systems.
This document provides an overview of depression, including its central features, classifications, causes, course, and management. Key points include:
- Central features are depressed mood, negative thinking, lack of enjoyment, reduced energy, and slowness.
- Depression can be classified as melancholic, psychotic, seasonal affective, or atypical based on symptoms.
- Causes involve biological, genetic, environmental, and psychosocial factors. Leading theories implicate neurotransmitter deficiencies.
- If left untreated, depressive episodes typically last 6-13 months and recur more frequently over time, with a 15% suicide risk.
- Management involves antidepressants, psychotherapy, and ECT or TMS.
Schizophrenia is a psychotic disorder characterized by disturbances in thinking, perception, emotions, language, sense of self and behavior. It is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

Anxiety disorders are commonly encountered in primary care settings. Anxiety is an internal state focused on anticipated danger in the absence of an external threat. It resembles fear but occurs without an identifiable threat. Generalized anxiety disorder is characterized by excessive worry about multiple domains over at least six months. Panic disorder involves unexpected panic attacks with physical symptoms that are extremely frightening and are followed by at least one month of persistent concern about additional attacks. Both disorders are influenced by genetic factors related to neuroticism and can be treated in primary care settings.
The document discusses acute mental status changes that can occur in intensive care unit patients. It describes conditions like delirium, decreased levels of consciousness, and their causes. Delirium is the most common disorder and results from factors like infection, medications, electrolyte imbalances, and pre-existing dementia. The document recommends screening patients for delirium regularly using tools like the Confusion Assessment Method, and treating underlying causes and symptoms with antipsychotics like haloperidol. Delirium is associated with increased mortality, length of stay, and long-term cognitive impairment.
Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders. Generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder, and post-traumatic stress disorder are some of the main types of anxiety disorders. Non-pharmacologic treatments for these disorders include psychoeducation, counseling, stress management, psychotherapy, meditation, exercise, and avoidance of substances that can trigger attacks. Pharmacologic therapies include antidepressants such as SSRIs and SNRIs. A complete evaluation including medical history and diagnostic examination is needed to properly diagnose and treat anxiety disorders.

nursing management of patient with Empyema pptblessyjannu21
prepared by Prof. BLESSY THOMAS, SPN
Empyema is a disease of respiratory system It is defines as the accumulation of thick, purulent fluid within the pleural space, often with fibrin development.
Empyema is also called pyothorax or purulent pleuritis.
It’s a condition in which pus gathers in the area between the lungs and the inner surface of the chest wall. This area is known as the pleural space.
Pus is a fluid that’s filled with immune cells, dead cells, and bacteria.
Pus in the pleural space can’t be coughed out. Instead, it needs to be drained by a needle or surgery.
Empyema usually develops after pneumonia, which is an infection of the lung tissue. it is mainly caused due in infectious micro-organisms. It can be treated with medications and other measures.

CONDUCTION SYSTEM OF THE HEART
ECG:
●ECG is a graphic record of the electrical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity precedes the mechanical activity of the heart.
●Electrical activity has two phases:
Depolarization- contraction of muscle
Repolarization- relaxation of muscle
ECG Leads:
●6 Chest leads
●6 Limb leads
1. Bipolar Limb Leads:
Lead 1- Between right arm(-ve) and left arm(+ve)
Lead 2- Between right arm(-ve) and left leg(+ve)
Lead 3- Between left arm(-ve)
and left leg(+ve)
2. Augmented unipolar Limb Leads:
AvR- Right arm
AvL- Left arm
AvF- Left leg
3.Chest Leads:
V1 : Over 4th intercostal
space near right sternal margin
V2: Over 4th intercostal space near left sternal margin
V3:In between V2 and V4
V4:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
clavicular line
V5:Over left 5th intercostal space on the anterior
axillary line
V6:Over left 5th intercostal space on the mid
axillary line.
Normal ECG:
Waves of ECG:
P Wave
•P Wave is a positive wave and the first wave in ECG.
•It is also called as atrial complex.
Cause: Atrial depolarisation
Duration: 0.1 sec
QRS Complex:
•QRS’ complex is also called the initial ventricular complex.
•‘Q’ wave is a small negative wave. It is continued as the tall ‘R’ wave, which is a positive wave.
‘R’ wave is followed by a small negative wave, the ‘S’ wave.
Cause:Ventricular depolarization and atrial repolarization
Duration: 0.08- 0.10 sec
T Wave:
•‘T’ wave is the final ventricular complex and is a positive wave.
Cause:Ventricular repolarization Duration: 0.2 sec
Intervals and Segments of ECG:
P-R Interval:
•‘P-R’ interval is the interval
between the onset of ‘P’wave and onset of ‘Q’ wave.
•‘P-R’ interval cause atrial depolarization and conduction of impulses through AV node.
Duration:0.18 (0.12 to 0.2) sec
Q-T Interval:
•‘Q-T’ interval is the interval between the onset of ‘Q’
wave and the end of ‘T’ wave.
•‘Q-T’ interval indicates the ventricular depolarization
and ventricular repolarization,
i.e. it signifies the
electrical activity in ventricles.
Duration:0.4-0.42sec
S-T Segment:
•‘S-T’ segment is the time interval between the end of ‘S’ wave and the onset of ‘T’ wave.
Duration: 0.08 sec
R-R Interval:
•‘R-R’ interval is the time interval between two consecutive ‘R’ waves.
•It signifies the duration of one cardiac cycle.
Duration: 0.8 sec
Dimension of ECG:

Sectional dentures for microstomia patients.pptxSatvikaPrasad
Microstomia, characterized by an abnormally small oral aperture, presents significant challenges in prosthodontic treatment, including limited access for examination, difficulties in impression making, and challenges with prosthesis insertion and removal. To manage these issues, customized impression techniques using sectional trays and elastomeric materials are employed. Prostheses may be designed in segments or with flexible materials to facilitate handling. Minimally invasive procedures and the use of digital technologies can enhance patient comfort. Education and training for patients on prosthesis care and maintenance are crucial for compliance. Regular follow-up and a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration with other specialists, ensure comprehensive care and improved quality of life for microstomia patients.

The facial nerve, also known as cranial nerve VII, is one of the 12 cranial nerves originating from the brain. It's a mixed nerve, meaning it contains both sensory and motor fibres, and it plays a crucial role in controlling various facial muscles, as well as conveying sensory information from the taste buds on the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
2024 Media Preferences of Older Adults: Consumer Survey and Marketing Implica...Media Logic
When it comes to creating marketing strategies that target older adults, it is crucial to have insight into their media habits and preferences. Understanding how older adults consume and use media is key to creating acquisition and retention strategies. We recently conducted our seventh annual survey to gain insight into the media preferences of older adults in 2024. Here are the survey responses and marketing implications that stood out to us.
2. ONSET AND COURSE
Onset is usually in adolescence or
childhood years; however, it may also
first appear in early adult years.
GAD is not exclusively associated with
an early age of onset. For instance, the
lowest prevalence of GAD occurred in
the 15- to 24-year age group (Wittchen
et al., 1994).
Symptoms tend to evolve gradually and
insidiously.
3. PREVALENCE
The lifetime prevalence of generalized
anxiety disorder has been estimated
at about 5%, and the female to male
ratio at about 2:1.
Common disorders in the elderly -
17% of elderly men and 21.5% of
elderly women
4. ETIOLOGY
Findings from genetics, neurobiology
and psychology infer a multifactorial
etiology for GAD.
Several findings support the presence
of abnormalities in GABAergic and
noradrenergic activity.
5. CLINICAL FEATURES
complains of anxiety, sometimes with
bitterness
unable to relax, the patient may spend
restless hours at night waiting for sleep.
complains of a sense of shakiness and
may have a fine tremor of the hands.
The heart may race uncomfortably
6. CLINICAL FEATURES
lump in the throat, cold clammy skin,
indigestion and cramping.
They may have constipation or
diarrhea.
complain of lightheadedness.
feeling exhausted and of being unable
to concentrate.
7. DIAGNOSIS
F41.1 Generalized anxiety disorder
A. A period of at least six months with
prominent tension, worry and feelings
of apprehension, about
every-day events and problems.
B. At least four symptoms out of the
following list of items must be present, of
which at least one from items (1) to (4).
8. Autonomic arousal symptoms
(1) Palpitations or pounding heart, or
accelerated heart rate.
(2) Sweating.
(3) Trembling or shaking.
(4) Dry mouth (not due to medication or
dehydration).
Symptoms concerning chest and abdomen
(5) Difficulty breathing.
(6) Feeling of choking.
(7) Chest pain or discomfort.
(8) Nausea or abdominal distress (e.g.
churning in stomach).
9. Symptoms concerning brain and mind
(9) Feeling dizzy, unsteady, faint or light-
headed.
(10) Feelings that objects are unreal
(derealization), or that one's self is
distant or "not really here"
(depersonalization).
(11) Fear of losing control, going crazy,
or passing out.
(12) Fear of dying.
General symptoms
(13) Hot flushes or cold chills.
(14) Numbness or tingling sensations.
10. Symptoms of tension
(15) Muscle tension or aches and pains.
(16) Restlessness and inability to relax.
(17) Feeling keyed up, or on edge, or of mental
tension.
(18) A sensation of a lump in the throat, or
difficulty with swallowing.
Other non-specific symptoms
(19) Exaggerated response to minor surprises or
being startled.
(20) Difficulty in concentrating, or mind going
blank, because of worrying or anxiety.
(21) Persistent irritability.
(22) Difficulty getting to sleep because of
worrying.
11. C. The disorder does not meet the criteria
for panic disorder (F41.0), phobic anxiety
disorders (F40.-), obsessive-compulsive
disorder (F42.-) or hypochondriacal
disorder (F45.2).
D. Most commonly used exclusion criteria:
not sustained by a physical disorder,
such as hyperthyroidism, an organic
mental disorder (F0) or psychoactive
substance-related disorder (F1), such as
excess consumption of amphetamine-
like substances, or withdrawal from
benzodiazepines.
12. COMORBIDITY
75% of patients with a current principal
diagnosis of GAD have other co-
occurring anxiety or mood disorders
(Brawman-Mintzer et al)
substance use disorders are common
(16%) in current GAD.
GAD may be the most commonly
occurring disorder in persons presenting
for treatment of physical conditions
associated with stress
13. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
An agitated depressive episode or an
agitated dysthymia may present with a
very similar clinical picture
Patients with specific phobia, social
phobia, or obsessive compulsive
disorder may likewise experience
considerable anxiety
14. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS
Patients dependent on alcohol or
sedative-hypnotics may repeatedly
find themselves in the midst of
withdrawal symptoms characterized
by anxiety and autonomic symptoms
A variety of drugs if taken chronically
may produce a constant set of side
effects that may mimic GAD
15. TREATMENT
Medications
Benzodiazepines - Among the benzodiazepines,
effective agents include diazepam (15–25 mg
daily), alprazolam (1 to 4 mg) and lorazepam (1
to 4 mg).
Hydroxyzine, an antihistamine similar to
diphenhydramine, is more effective than placebo
when given in a total daily dose of approximately
50 mg.
Propranolol may relieve the “peripheral”
manifestations of anxiety, such as tremor and
tachycardia; the effective dose ranges between
60 and 240 mg.
16. TREATMENT
Psychological treatment
supportive psychotherapy, relaxation therapy,
biofeedback and CBT.
CBT has been found associated with clinically
significant improvements in many RCT’s. It
consists of psychoeducation about the nature
of anxiety, symptom monitoring , relaxation
training, exposure and cognitive restructuring.
Recent developments in psychosocial
treatments for GAD have integrated
mindfulness approaches into traditional CBT.
