Car-rear-impact-induced cervical spine injuries present a serious burden on society and, in response, seats offering enhanced protection have been introduced. Seats are evaluated for neck protection performance but only at one specific backrest angle, whereas in the real world this varies greatly owing to the variation in occupant physique. Changing the backrest angle modifies the seat geometry and thereby the nature of its interaction with the occupant. Low-velocity rear-impact tests on a BioRID II anthropomorphic test dummy (ATD) have shown that changes in backrest angle have a significant proportionate effect on dummy kinematics. A close correlation was found between changes in backrest angle and the responses of neck injury predictors such as lower neck loading and lower neck shear but not for the neck injury criterion NICmax. Torso ramping was evident, however, with negligible effect in low-velocity impacts. The backrest angle ranged from 20° to 30° whereas the BioRID II spine was adapted to a range from 20° to 26.5°. Nevertheless, in general, instrumentation outputs correlated well, indicating that this ATD could be used for evaluating seats over a 20–30° range rather than solely at 25° as required by current approval test specifications.

SummaryThe frequency of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTO) in the dog after repair of a humeral condylar fracture (HCF) and the relationship of fracture reduction to outcome is unknown. The objectives of this study were to determine the frequency of PTO in dogs after HCF repair and to determine the relationship between fracture reduction, limb function and follow-up osteoarthrosis (OA) score. All dogs were evaluated by physical and radiographic examinations and dogs with unilateral fracture repair were also examined by force platform gait analysis. Initial and follow-up radiographs were scored for reduction and evidence of osteoarthrosis using previously published grading scales. This study evaluated 15 fractures in 13 dogs with a mean follow-up time of 43 months. Osteoarthrosis developed or progressed radiographically in all elbows. Peak vertical force (PVF) was significantly reduced (p <0.01) in the affected limb, however vertical impulse (VI) did not differ (p = 0.12) when compared to the opposite normal limb. Pain-free range of motion was reduced in flexion (p <0.01), but not in extension (p = 0.98) when compared to the normal limb. Fracture reduction score did not correlate with follow-up OA score (p = 0.07), PVF (p = 0.40), VI (p = 0.72), flexion (p =0.50), or extension (p = 0.62). Due to the high incidence of PTO, owners should be warned of the possibility of declining limb function over time despite near anatomic reduction.

The ecological psychology is interdisciplinary between ecology, psychology and ecological philosophy. Ecological psychology made trying to find the relationship of human minds crisis and the Earth's ecological crisis, and looking for the psychological roots of the ecological crisis. The ecological psychology has opened up a whole new perspective and research methods for post-traumatic psychological recovery and correctly handle the relationship between man and nature. Post-traumatic psychological resilience in an eco-psychology perspective should be as a guided by the theory of ecological psychology, starting from ecological psychology of post-traumatic resilience, to build eco-psycho- therapy system of green eco led, to achieve harmony between man and nature; reconstruction positive life philosophy, pay attention to trauma ,continue to growing. Ecological Psychology rise in the 1990s.Ecological psychology is within historical context of increasingly serious global environmental problems, influenced by trend of thought of post-modernism, guided by values of ecological philosophy, to explore the solution of the ecological crisis by the psychological and behavioral dimensions. Ecological psychology is an interdisciplinary between ecology, psychology and ecological philosophy. Ecological psychology made trying to find the relationship of human minds crisis and the Earth's ecological crisis, and looking for the psychological roots of the ecological crisis. Ecological psychology made positively efforts to explore the root causes of these crises encountered by the human society and human psychology.As a new crossed research areas, ecological psychology has opened up a new perspective and research methods for post-traumatic psychological recovery and correctly handle the relationship between man and nature, it has a significant value to deepen environmental awareness, strengthen environmental education and research and application of expand psychology.

BackgroundNeuroticism has been consistently correlated with the post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) response to traumatic events. Interpretation of these findings is limited by the retrospective nature of these findings: neuroticism was measured after the trauma had occurred. The prospective association of neuroticism with PTSD has not been examined (the relationship of neuroticism with PTSD symptoms was examined in a few prospective studies). We evaluate prospectively the relationship of neuroticism, measured at baseline, with the cumulative occurrence of PTSD during the subsequent 10 years, using data from a longitudinal epidemiological study of young adults.MethodA sample of 1007 young adults randomly selected from the membership of a large health maintenance organization in southeast Michigan was assessed at baseline and followed up at 3, 5 and 10 years later. We conducted a series of multinomial logistic regressions to estimate the relative risk (RR) of exposure to trauma and PTSD by neuroticism at baseline, adjusting for history of major depression (n = 990).ResultsDuring the 10-year follow-up, 50.2% of the sample experienced traumatic events and 5.2% developed PTSD. Neuroticism score at baseline increased significantly the RR of PTSD response to trauma. Additional analysis revealed that, among persons with history of major depression at baseline, RR for PTSD associated with neuroticism was equal to the null value of 1, but was increased significantly among those with no history of major depression.ConclusionsThe results confirm the role of neuroticism as diathesis in the PTSD response to traumatic experiences.

This research aims to reveal the relationship of quarantine to post-traumatic anxiety in children, from the viewpoint of their parents, By conducting an applied study on a selected sample of (400) children from Baghdad governorate, who are less than seven years old. The researcher used the descriptive method, being the closest to discovering the relationship between the research variables, as well as using the statistical application (SPSS) in the practical side of the research to analyze the questionnaire data prepared by the researcher for the purpose of answering it by the families of the children, the research sample. The post-traumatic anxiety scale prepared by the researcher included (18) questions about the effects caused by the quarantine imposed by the public authorities in Iraq to limit the spread of the new Corona virus on the mental health of the children studied, As well as finding statistically significant differences in post-traumatic anxiety among children, the research sample, according to the gender variable (male - female), if any. The researcher concluded that the research sample children suffer from post-traumatic anxiety as a result of the quarantine imposed to limit the spread of the new Corona virus, from the point of view of their parents. and the researcher also concluded that there are no statistically significant differences between the children studied according to the variable (Gender) as a result of their exposure to trauma.

Physical And Sexual Abuse

An increased incidence of childhood physical and sexual abuse has previously been demonstrated in patients with multiple personalities. This disorder in women is also associated with an increased incidence of forcible rape during adolescence and adulthood by strangers or acquaintances. In a series of 17 women with multiple personality, 6 had been raped. A control group of non-dissociative disorder patients matched for age and sex yielded no instances of forcible rape. This high incidence of rape is thought to be related to the masochistic character traits which are common in multiple personality. The relationship of multiple personality and rape to post-traumatic stress disorder is explored. Treatment in group and individual therapy in which education and prevention were emphasized is described.
