Sleepwalking typically occurs during the slow-wave sleep stages 3 and 4 early in the night when the person is not dreaming, contradicting the myth that sleepwalkers are acting out their dreams.
Factors that increase the likelihood of sleepwalking include sleep deprivation and alcohol consumption. Contrary to common beliefs, it is safe...

Mutual Inductance01:24

Mutual Inductance

3.7K
Inductance is the property of a device that tells us how effectively it induces an emf in another device. In other words, it is a physical quantity that expresses the effectiveness of a given device.
When two circuits carrying time-varying currents are close to one another, the magnetic flux through each circuit varies because of the changing current in the other circuit. Consequently, an emf is induced in each circuit by the changing current in the other. Therefore, this type of emf is called...

Deglutition01:25

Deglutition

7.7K
Swallowing, otherwise known as deglutition, facilitates the transport of food from the mouth to the stomach. It is a multifaceted process that involves both the tongue and the muscles of the throat and esophagus. Saliva and mucus aid in this process, which takes approximately 4 to 8 seconds for semi-solid or solid food and around 1 second for liquids or very soft food.
Swallowing can be divided into three stages: the voluntary phase, the pharyngeal phase, and the esophageal phase. Although the...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry and Psychology
  • Clinical Linguistics
  • Developmental Psychology

Background:

  • Mutism presents as a significant clinical symptom, often manifesting as a lack of language acquisition or severe relationship difficulties.
  • Families are frequently alerted by isolation, withdrawal, or crises during relationship breakdowns associated with mutism.

Observation:

  • The differential diagnosis of mutism is complex, indicating potential underlying psychopathological structures.
  • Three distinct clinical cases are presented to illustrate the multifaceted nature of mutism.

Findings:

  • Mutism can be symptomatic of various personality disorders and psychopathological conditions.
  • The study highlights the challenges in approaching and diagnosing mutism.

Implications:

  • Understanding the psychopathological features of mutism is crucial for effective intervention.
  • This research contributes to the discussion on the prognostic and therapeutic aspects of managing mutism.
