Psychosurgery

2.4K
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

Dark Triad and Person Perception

483
Person perception is influenced by both external behaviors and the observer’s internal characteristics, including personality traits. Individuals with dark personality traits, comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism — collectively known as the dark triad – exhibit manipulative and exploitative tendencies in social contexts. These traits affect how they perceive others and how they are perceived.The Role of Dark Personality Traits in Person PerceptionBlack et...

Plastic Deformations01:19

Plastic Deformations

620
Plastic deformation represents a fundamental concept in materials science, which explains the irreversible change in the shape of a material when it experiences stress beyond its elastic capability. This phenomenon is important in structural engineering, especially in designing and analyzing cantilever beams—structures that are securely fixed at one end and bear loads at the opposite end. When these beams are subjected to loads within their elastic range, they will return to their...

Plastic Deformations

710
It is essential to understand how structural members behave under plastic deformation when the bending stress exceeds the material's yield strength. This state of deformation permanently alters the shape of the member, in contrast to the linear elastic behavior observed before yielding. The strain at any point in the member is expressed in terms of maximum strain. Notably, the neutral axis, which coincides with the centroid during elastic bending, shifts away from the centroid under plastic...

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

289
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Surgical practice
  • Public health

Background:

  • Public perception of Plastic Surgery is heavily influenced by media, often misrepresenting its full scope.
  • A significant gap exists between public understanding and the diverse roles of plastic surgeons.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess public perception of plastic surgical practice.
  • To determine the perceived importance of Plastic Surgery relative to other hospital specialties.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire was administered to 899 emergency department attendees.
  • Participants matched surgical specialties with procedures and ranked hospital specialties by importance.

Main Results:

  • While the public recognized plastic surgeons for cosmetic procedures, understanding of reconstructive roles (breast reconstruction, burns) was moderate.
  • There was a significant lack of awareness regarding plastic surgeons' role in hand surgery (e.g., tendon repair).
  • Plastic Surgery was ranked lowest in importance among 30 hospital specialties.

Conclusions:

  • Misconceptions about Plastic Surgery are prevalent, driven by media focus on cosmetic aspects.
  • Professional organizations must actively promote the critical role of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery in tertiary care centers.
