Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

64
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...

Restorative Care01:19

Restorative Care

1.9K
Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

1.4K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

Free-falling Bodies: Example01:05

Free-falling Bodies: Example

15.9K
An object falling without any air resistance under the influence of gravitational force is said to be in free-fall. For free-falling bodies, the acceleration due to gravity is constant, irrespective of their mass. Free-fall is experienced not only by objects falling downward, but also by all objects whose motion is influenced by gravitational force alone. The dynamics of free-fall motion can be calculated using kinematic equations of motion, since free-fall acceleration is constant.

Area of Science:

  • Forensic Pathology
  • Human Rights Law

Background:

  • A case study involving a 16-year-old male in a rehabilitation center.
  • The deceased was hospitalized due to severe torture and declared dead upon arrival.

Observation:

  • Autopsy revealed multiple ante-mortem abrasions and contusions, including on the soles (falanga).
  • Subscalpal hematoma and subdural/subarachnoid hemorrhages were noted.
  • Histopathology showed acute tubular necrosis in the kidneys due to skeletal muscle necrosis from blunt force trauma.

Findings:

  • The cause of death was attributed to head injury.
  • Falanga, a form of torture involving hitting the soles, was identified as a significant factor.
  • The findings provide scientific evidence of fatal maltreatment.

Implications:

  • Medicolegal autopsy is crucial for establishing the cause of death in controversial cases of detainee fatalities.
  • This case underscores the importance of nonpartisan investigation to determine potential human rights abuses.
  • The findings highlight the severe consequences of torture and the need for accountability.
