Sandra Bullock plays Jean Calbot, a wealthy wife of a district attorney running for re-election who feels alone and misunderstood. Jean experiences paranoia and abnormal behavior, believing people of color will harm her after being assaulted. She yells frequently without understanding why and thinks her husband may be having an affair. Jean eventually realizes the people she interacts with daily, like her maid, are the ones who truly listen, love, and care for her well-being.
This is it! A Renatinha do ALL 6.2 escolheu um mega star para fazer o seu speech. E com Michael Jackson, não tinha como dar errado! Foi um speech digno do Rei do Pop! - ALL Stella Maris - ALL 6.2 - Mai. 2013
The document discusses psychosis and how it relates to the film Black Swan. Psychosis is defined as a severe mental disorder that impairs one's contact with reality, and it can be caused by illnesses like schizophrenia or substance use. Symptoms include delusions and hallucinations. Treatment involves therapy and antipsychotic drugs.
The film Black Swan explores the main character Nina's descent into psychosis. As she trains for the lead role of the Black Swan, she experiences hallucinations and paranoia, losing touch with reality. Her mental state worsens throughout the film as she takes on more of the characteristics of the dark swan. By the end, Nina's psychotic break is complete,
This document discusses evidence of inflammation in epilepsy from clinical and experimental studies. It summarizes that seizures can trigger inflammatory responses involving cytokines and glial cells. Experimental models show prolonged seizures induce long-term inflammation that may contribute to epileptogenesis. Febrile seizures may also increase brain inflammation through cytokines like IL-1β. While targeting some inflammatory pathways like IL-1β can reduce seizures, inhibiting COX-2 can have mixed effects depending on the seizure model and timing of treatment.
A 12-year-old female patient presented with left-sided focal motor seizures since age 4. She developed progressive left-sided weakness and intellectual impairment. Brain imaging showed prominent right hemispheric atrophy. The diagnosis was Rasmussen's encephalitis. The document provides information on accessing updated case publications and related resources through the editor's website.
A 12-year-old female patient presented with left-sided focal motor seizures since age 4. Over time, she developed epilepsia partialis continua, left-sided hemiplegia, and intellectual impairment. EEG and imaging showed abnormalities localized to the right hemisphere. Biopsy findings were consistent with chronic encephalitis. Based on the progressive neurological deficits localized to one hemisphere, in conjunction with inflammatory changes and evidence of viral involvement found on biopsy, the patient was diagnosed with Rasmussen's encephalitis.
This document provides an overview of autoimmune encephalitis, outlining its various subsets including paraneoplastic and non-paraneoplastic forms. Specific autoantibody-mediated encephalitides are discussed such as VGKC-complex limbic encephalitis, NMDAR encephalitis, and AMPAR encephalitis. Clinical features, investigations, pathogenesis and management approaches are reviewed for different autoimmune encephalitis subtypes.
1) Encephalitis is an acute inflammation of the brain that is usually caused by a viral infection. Children, the elderly, and those with weak immune systems are most at risk.
2) Diagnosis involves imaging tests like MRI and CT scans to view brain inflammation, as well as tests of cerebrospinal fluid and blood to identify potential viral causes.
3) Treatment depends on the severity and cause of the inflammation. Supportive care aims to help the body fight infection, while antiviral drugs may be given if a viral cause is identified.

The document discusses a campaign by the men of Sigma Alpha Psion to raise awareness for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and help a child's dream come true. The campaign is simple - the men will shake their heads, thus making the bold statement that they are willing to lose their hair if a child's dream can become a reality. Pledge your support to help Sigma Alpha Psion and Make-A-Wish.
The document provides an overview of the NFL's branding strategy and history from 1920 to present day. It discusses how the NFL transitioned from a perception of brutality to focusing on being a sport for everyone. Key events like televised championship games in the 1950s and Pete Rozelle's commissionership in the 1960s helped popularize the league. Current commissioner Roger Goodell faces issues like player conduct and safety concerns. The document emphasizes themes of safety, fun, family and caring that guide the NFL's brand. It also outlines partnerships with suppliers and managing the league's television rights deals.
1) The document describes an experiment where the author ran four times without listening to music to focus on form and surroundings.
2) During the runs, the author noticed improvements in form and an ability to refocus the mind when thoughts wandered.
3) The conclusion was that the experiment helped the author learn to run more consistently through mental focus on form rather than external thoughts, and this mental training could translate to accomplishing other goals.
1. The document describes an experiment where a college student went from eating simple sandwiches to cooking homemade meals over 5 days in order to gain cooking skills and experience family meals.
2. The student purchased a beginner's cookbook and ingredients to cook both breakfast and dinner each day. They noticed benefits like more energy and a better mood from cooking and eating home cooked meals.
3. While the student wasn't able to cook dinner one night due to time, they continued the experiment over the next few days. They found cooking to be enjoyable and provided a sense of accomplishment, but garnishing took more practice.
The document discusses how globalization and new technologies have "flattened" the world by connecting people and breaking down barriers between countries. It summarizes Thomas Friedman's book The World is Flat, which identifies 10 "flatteners" like falling borders, outsourcing, and new communication technologies that have leveled the global playing field and increased competition worldwide. The document also provides examples of how businesses and individuals are adapting to these changes through remote work, offshoring jobs, and using new tools like blogs and video lessons to cut costs and reach global audiences.
The document summarizes key concepts from the book "Getting To Yes" about principled negotiation. It discusses 5 key points promoted in the book: 1) removing the human element and focusing on interests, not positions; 2) using objective criteria to find mutually agreeable solutions; 3) having a non-zero-sum mindset to create more value; 4) collaborating to generate alternative options; and 5) using a mix of soft and hard negotiation strategies as needed. The document then provides examples of applying these concepts when dealing with a situation of a coach mishandling student funds and facing conflicts of interest between coaching duties and family responsibilities.

1. Meet Rylan
My wish is to:
Meet Mickey Mouse!
Age:
6
Condition:
Rasmussen’s Encephalitis and
Intractable Seizures
Hometown:
Bloomington, IN
Rylan is an extremely outgoing, active five-year-old boy. He loves playing sports,
including football, basketball, hockey, and wrestling. When he isn’t watching the movie
“Transformers”, he’s playing with his guinea pig Charlie, his rabbit Wolverine, or his
dogs Buddy and Able.
Rylan suffers from two conditions called Rasmussen’s Encephalitis and Intractable
Seizures. Rasmussen’s Encephalitis is a disease that affects one hemisphere of the brain,
and intractable seizures are seizures that are difficult to control. Currently, Rylan has
over 50 seizures every day. The only treatment that will cure Rylan from his illness is a
surgery where the left hemispshere of his brain is removed.
When Make-A-Wish Foundation® volunteers asked Rylan what he wished for, right
away he knew he wanted to go to Walt Disney World to meet his favorite character
Mickey Mouse! He also can’t wait to meet the characters Phineus and Ferb and ride all
of the rides! Although his trip is on hold right now due to his medical condition, Rylan
can look forward to going to Disney World soon.
