Bullying

8.9K
A modern form of aggression is bullying. As you learn in your study of child development, socializing and playing with other children is beneficial for children’s psychological development. However, as you may have experienced as a child, not all play behavior has positive outcomes. Some children are aggressive and want to play roughly. Other children are selfish and do not want to share toys. One form of negative social interactions among children that has become a national concern is...

Milgram's Obedience to Authority

7.4K
Obedience to authority is classically demonstrated in a more famous series of social psychology experiments performed by Stanley Milgram. He was a social psychology professor at Yale who was influenced by the trial of Adolf Eichmann, a Nazi war criminal. Eichmann’s defense for the atrocities he committed was that he was “just following orders.”

Empathy

10.1K
Some researchers suggest that altruism operates on empathy. Empathy is the capacity to understand another person’s perspective, to feel what he or she feels. An empathetic person makes an emotional connection with others and feels compelled to help (Batson, 1991). Empathy can be expressed in several ways, including cognitive, affective, and motor.

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer02:48

Ionic Bonding and Electron Transfer

49.1K
Ions are atoms or molecules bearing an electrical charge. A cation (a positive ion) forms when a neutral atom loses one or more electrons from its valence shell, and an anion (a negative ion) forms when a neutral atom gains one or more electrons in its valence shell. Compounds composed of ions are called ionic compounds (or salts), and their constituent ions are held together by ionic bonds: electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged cations and anions.

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region02:40

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

18.8K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Self-inflicted conjunctivitis in soldiers can be diagnosed by characteristic clinical signs when other causes are excluded. Management requires addressing underlying psychosocial issues for effective resolution.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Psychiatry
  • Military Medicine

Background:

  • Factitious conjunctivitis is a rare condition where individuals intentionally induce or perpetuate eye inflammation.
  • Conscripted soldiers may present with persistent conjunctivitis, necessitating a thorough diagnostic approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diagnostic criteria and management strategies for self-inflicted factitious conjunctivitis in military conscripts.
  • To identify characteristic clinical features aiding in the diagnosis of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective case series of 17 conscripted soldiers diagnosed with self-inflicted conjunctivitis.
  • Detailed ophthalmic and systemic examinations, psychosocial assessments, and exclusion of other causes of conjunctivitis were performed.
  • Follow-up for at least 3 months post-resolution confirmed the diagnosis.

Main Results:

  • Seventeen cases of self-inflicted conjunctivitis were identified, exhibiting inconsistent clinical findings.
  • Key diagnostic signs included purulent discharge, disproportionate discharge to hyperemia, and an uninvolved cornea.
  • Five chronic cases resolved only after addressing underlying psychologic or social problems.

Conclusions:

  • Self-inflicted conjunctivitis can be reliably diagnosed in soldiers by recognizing a specific clinical profile after excluding organic eye disease.
  • Effective management hinges on identifying and treating the underlying psychosocial stressors contributing to the condition.
