Pathophysiology of Acute Pain
Acute pain, also called nociceptive pain, begins suddenly and is a normal response that the body produces for the purpose of “alerting the individual to a condition or experience that is immediately harmful to the body” and prompting them to take actions to address the problem (Huether & McCance, 2017, p. 339). Acute pain occurs when peripheral pain receptors are activated and the impulses transmitted by A delta and C fibers (Huether & McCance, 2017). Acute pain typically comes and goes, lasting anywhere from minutes to days up until 3 months, and can be classified as three different types: somatic, visceral, and referred (Huether & McCance, 2017). Somatic pain can be either sharp and well-localized, or dull, achy, and poorly localized, and it originates from the skin, muscles, and joints (Huether & McCance, 2017). Visceral pain can be aching, gnawing, throbbing, or cramping, and is felt in the organs or the lining of body cavities (Huether & McCance, 2017). Acute pain can result in physical symptoms such as anxiety, hypertension, elevated heart rate, and sweating (Huether & McCance, 2017).
Pathophysiology of Chronic Pain
Chronic, or persistent pain, is pain that lasts for over 3-6 months and can be continuous or intermittent (Huether & McCance, 2017). Unlike acute pain, chronic pain serves no purpose and is not well understood, but it is thought to originate when changes in the peripheral and central nervous systems leads to the disruption of nociception and pain modulating processes (Huether & McCance, 2017). Chronic pain is subjective and affects each person differently. It causes ongoing stress, both physically and mentally. Chronic pain may be associated with cognitive deficits and a lower tolerance for coping with that pain (Huether & McCance, 2017).
Pathophysiology of Referred Pain
Referred pain occurs when pain is felt in another area instead of the area that is the actual source of the problem. The referred pain area shares the same spinal segment as the actual pain source and the brain is unable to pinpoint the exact location of the pain (Huether & McCance, 2017). Referred pain occurs due to the activation of nociceptors within the viscera causing a perception of pain that is localized to a specific area.
Similarities and Differences
Acute, chronic, and referred pain are similar in that they each begin with a response to a stimulus and originate from visceral, cutaneous, or somatic sources in the body (Huether & McCance, 2017). When the nerve endings of C fibers and A delta fibers are stimulated, it creates the sensation of pain (Hammer & McPhee, 2014). The pain signals are transmitted to the brainstem, cerebral cortex, and spinal cord (Huether & McCance, 2017). Acute pain comes on suddenly and gets better with time and healing, while chronic pain is a state of recurrent and persistent pain over time with no relief (Huether & McCance, 2017). Acute pain is well understood physiologically, wh ...
Chronic pain is common. If we don’t suffer from it ourselves, chances are we know someone who does. Changes in the structure and function of the brain are thought to underlie chronic pain. The good news is that these changes are not hardwired. Many things can be done to influence how the brain processes pain signals including exercise, healthy eating, and better sleep, as well as thinking more adaptive thoughts, positive emotions, and feeling love and connected. This session will highlight the neuroscience related to chronic pain and how engaging in simple self-management strategies can result in less pain and a more rewarding life.

Introduction
Gate Control Theory
Behavioral Pain Theory
Use of Psychogenic Pain in Theories
Evidence-Based Interventions in Theories
“Pain is major health problem that affects more than 50 million American, costing more than $100 billion annually” (Straub, 2012 p. 418). This cost is a direct effect of health care cost and lost of wages and is most sort for treatment by patients. Often pain is formed through biological, psychological, and sociobehavioral forces. Pain signals that something is wrong and to take precautions but, not feeling on the other hand can be harmful. Because pain is such a strong motivator for action, it is considered one of the body's most important protective mechanisms. Pain is divided into three categories known as acute, recurrent, and chronic pain. There are several theories of pain that have been formulated such as the gate control theory and behavioral pain theory that will be discussed and defined within this presentation. The presentation will discussed psychogenic pain as the chosen pain disorder selected by Team B. As part of this specific disorder (psychogenic pain) the way in which this pain disorder can be understood through the use of the gate control theory and behavioral pain theory will be defined. Also, potential evidence-based interventions in regards to the two theories (gate control & behavioral pain) and there use in treatment planning will be discussed.

Gate Control Theory
“In 1965, Ronald Melzack and Peter wall outlined a gate control theory (GCT) that moved past some of the shortcomings of earlier theories” (Straub, 2012 p. 428). This theory involves a mechanism in the brain acts as a gate to increase or decrease the flow of nerve impulses from the peripheral fibers to the central nervous system. As depicted in diagram above "open" gate allows the flow of nerve impulses, and the brain can perceive pain. A "closed" gate does not allow flow of nerve impulses, decreasing the perception of pain (Srivastava, 2010). The gate control theory looks at the complex structure of the of the central nervous system that involves the central and peripheral nervous systems. “In the gate control theory, the experience of pain depends on a complex interplay of these two systems as they each process pain signals in their own way (Deardorff, 2003).

Behavioral Pain Theory
Physiological Theory
Cognitive Theory
There are two types of pain; fundamental “sensory” pain, the intensity of which is a direct function of the intensity of various pain stimuli, and “psychological” pain, the intensity of which is highly modifiable by such factors as hypnotism, placebos, and the sociocultural setting in which the stimulus occurs(Department of Psychology, State University of New York at Stony Brook, Stony Brook, N.Y. , 2014).

The Psychology of Pain: Understanding and Management in Nursing CareShahid Hussain
At the end of this session, students will be able to:
Define pain.
Explain the types of pain.
Explain physiological perspective of pain (brief).
Discuss psychological perspective of pain (gate-control theory, bio-psychosocial model of pain, etc.).
Factors affecting pain perception including psychological, social and biological.
Discuss treatment approaches for pain management (recent researches).
Discuss the role of nurses in pain management.
Pain is a common yet complex biopsychosocial phenomenon that affects every aspect of a patient’s life
Optimal management often requires good assessment, formulation of the problem in the patient, and combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological (psychological and social) interventions

Exposure to traumatic experiences or material can often have a negative impact on a person's health. It can be common for us to only consider people who have experienced trauma first hand as experiencing negative health effects, both physically and mentally. However, this experience can also occur when a person experiences traumatic material secondarily.
Secondary traumatic stress can develop when a person is exposed to trauma through hearing about the first-hand trauma experiences of others. This has become common in jobs where employees are exposed to clients/patients who have suffered from trauma (e.g. domestic violence specialists, mental health professionals, or nurses).
Its symptoms can mimic those of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) if left unchecked. Furthermore, this can often be reflected in their health status (e.g. negatively impacted).
Research has suggested that individuals who have been exposed to trauma were 2.7 times more likely to have a longstanding negative health problem, such as fibromyalgia, chronic pain, and chronic fatigue syndrome. For this reason, it is important to examine the potential psychological and organisational factors that can influence, or protect against, the development of health problems and secondary traumatic stress in employees who experience high volumes of traumatic material.

Guided Imagery and Progressive Muscle Relaxation in Group Psychotherapy
A majority of Americans experience stress in their daily lives (American Psychological
Association, 2017). Thus, an important goal of psychological research is to evaluate techniques
that promote stress reduction and relaxation. Two techniques that have been associated with
reduced stress and increased relaxation in psychotherapy contexts are guided imagery and
progressive muscle relaxation (McGuigan & Lehrer, 2007). Guided imagery aids individuals in
connecting their internal and external experiences, allowing them, for example, to feel calmer
externally because they practice thinking about calming imagery. Progressive muscle relaxation
involves diaphragmatic breathing and the tensing and releasing of 16 major muscle groups;
together these behaviors lead individuals to a more relaxed state (Jacobson, 1938; Trakhtenberg,
2008). Guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation are both cognitive behavioral
techniques (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005) in which individuals focus on the relationship among
thoughts, emotions, and behaviors (White, 2000).
Group psychotherapy effectively promotes positive treatment outcomes in patients in a
cost-effective way. Its efficacy is in part attributable to variables unique to the group experience
of therapy as compared with individual psychotherapy (Bottomley, 1996; Yalom & Leszcz,
2005). That is, the group format helps participants feel accepted and better understand their
common struggles; at the same time, interactions with group members provide social support and
models of positive behavior (Yalom & Leszcz, 2005). Thus, it is useful to examine how stress
reduction and relaxation can be enhanced in a group context.
The purpose of this literature review is to examine the research base on guided imagery
and progressive muscle relaxation in group psychotherapy contexts. I provide overviews of both
guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation, including theoretical foundations and

historical context. Then I examine guided imagery and progressive muscle relaxation as used on
their own as well as in combination as part of group psychotherapy (see Baider et al., 1994, for
more). Throughout the review, I highlight themes in the research. Finally, I end by pointing out
limitations in the existing literature and exploring potential directions for future research.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

2. WHAT IS PAIN?
Many, many theories
Gate-control previously most popular
One theory doesn’t cover all aspects of pain
More than just sensory experience
Does pain come from periphery or brain?
3. PAIN NEUROMATRIX
First described by Melzack (Melzack 2001)
Incorporates many aspects of patient’s self and
care
Pain as a homeostatic response (Craig 2003)
Important aspects of Neuromatrix concept
Pain does not equal physical damage
Protective mechanism
Emotional component
Sensitization
5. ACUTE VS CHRONIC PAIN
Evidence showing those with chronic pain have
sustained high levels of cortisol, leading to
heightened stress response and sensitivity to pain
(Henderson 2013)
The “deal with it” group
Chronic pain has a huge emotional piece
Attitude and mood can negatively impact pain (Vachon-
Presseau 2013)
Stress raises cortisol levels, just being in a hospital can
(and often is) very stressful
6. MOSELEY
“Many therapies attempt to restore movement in the
hope that pain will automatically get better as
movement improves” (Moseley 2003)
Is pain caused by abnormal movement, or is
abnormal movement caused by pain?
Explain Pain by Butler and Moseley
Evidence-based perspective on pain education with
patients
Can be a great tool for longer-term patients or those
who you anticipate will be in hospital several weeks
7. PAIN AND PAIN EDUCATION
Is education a necessary PT intervention?
Pain neurophysiological education can cause
physical AND cognitive changes (Bushnell 2013, Nijs 2011)
Moseley has focused pain education research on
changing attitude toward pain rather than just
physiological knowledge (Moseley 2004)
Patients have better approach to pain, and understand it
is not necessarily something to be feared or even
avoided in some cases
8. BARRIERS TO PAIN EDUCATION
Time
Especially in acute care, very limited time to spend with each
patient
Can incorporate pain education during interventions
Complex physiology
Pain is very complex, we assume patients cannot understand
the pain process
Studies show patients actually learn about pain more when it
is not “sugar-coated,” and retain it when you personalize it to
them (Moseley 2004, Nijs 2011)
Education alone can be more effective than education plus
exercise, at least in short-term settings (Ryan 2010)
Research is greatly focused on outpatient settings, but
results can be adapted to acute settings
9. PUTTING EDUCATION INTO PRACTICE
If patient is refusing PT due to pain, this is a great
opportunity for pain education
Validate pain, find out its characteristics
What is this person’s learning style? Visual? Tactile?
Can guide how you educate them on pain
Patients with neurological conditions (MS, fibromyalgia, ALS,
diabetes) may have neuropathic pain, great groups of people
to educate on mechanisms of pain
Patients might have anxiety with interventions if they
have pain
May think exercise/ambulation/manual therapy will cause
“more” injury – PAIN does not equal DAMAGE
Pain education can help change attitude toward pain, and
alter their perception of “debilitating pain”
