Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

69
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Cognitive Dissonance

32.6K
Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Repressed Memory01:16

Repressed Memory

78
Repressed memories are a psychological phenomenon where memories of traumatic events are unconsciously blocked from a person's awareness. This process occurs as a defense mechanism, protecting the mind from the emotional impact of distressing or painful experiences. For example, a person who has experienced childhood trauma may grow up with no conscious recollection of the event. In such cases, the memories are thought to be buried deep within the subconscious, inaccessible to the conscious...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

5.5K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Defense Mechanism Against Infection01:26

Defense Mechanism Against Infection

6.5K
Natural flora, body system defenses, and inflammation are natural barriers of the body against infectious agents regardless of previous exposure. Normal floras of the human body refer to the microbial population that colonizes the skin and mucous membranes.
In addition, many body organ systems have unique defenses against infection. The skin is an intact, multilayered surface preventing invasion by microorganisms unless impaired. Mucous membranes lining the mouth, nose, and eyelids are barriers...

Hypothesis: Accept or Fail to Reject?

27.7K
The outcome of any hypothesis testing leads to rejecting or not rejecting the null hypothesis. This decision is taken based on the analysis of the data, an appropriate test statistic, an appropriate confidence level, the critical values, and P-values. However, when the evidence suggests that the null hypothesis cannot be rejected, is it right to say, 'Accept' the null hypothesis?
There are two ways to indicate that the null hypothesis is not rejected. 'Accept' the null...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Ophthalmology

Background:

  • West Nile virus (WNV) is a growing public health concern.
  • WNV infection can lead to severe neurological disease, including meningoencephalitis.

Observation:

  • A 51-year-old male presented with acute neurological symptoms and decreased vision.
  • Brain MRI revealed mesial temporal lobe and optic radiation lesions.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid analysis showed polymorphonuclear pleocytosis and hyperproteinorachia.

Findings:

  • Meningoencephalitis was diagnosed.
  • Intravenous fluorescein angiography (IVFA) identified multifocal, linear chorioretinitis in the left eye.
  • Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) IgM ELISA confirmed West Nile virus infection.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the diverse clinical spectrum of WNV disease.
  • IVFA is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying WNV-related ocular manifestations.
  • Early diagnosis and recognition of WNV meningoencephalitis are crucial for patient management.
