This chapter highlights the importance of adopting a position of curiosity with regard to dissociative seizures (DS). The author has treated many patients with DS with various degrees of success. A few patients were highly anxious and had adopted a range of coping strategies, which were inadvertently perpetuating their symptoms and experiences. Most had significant others who were inadvertently making their problem worse by reinforcing unhelpful coping responses. Some had experienced traumas in the past, which had clearly contributed to the onset of the problems. Their initial dissociative reaction had been protective or adaptive but had since become maladaptive. Such transdiagnostic processes are relatively straightforward to assess and are commonly encountered. However, the presentation of some patients was difficult to classify. One patient had an extreme form of physiological arousal including a high pulse rate associated with blackouts. Another patient had been seen by a team of experts and been given a diagnosis of DS but, eventually, was given a diagnosis of parietal lobe epilepsy. Ultimately, the evidence for psychological treatments for DS is growing. However, therapists treating patients with DS should be experienced and work closely with neurologists and psychiatrists to ensure that patients receive the best possible care.

Anatomical and Morphological study of the Heart's Chambers and valves in Iraqi ducks Anser platyrhuncha

Twenty Iraqi ducks hearts ( 10 male and 10 female ) have been used for demonstration and illustration of heart's valves and chambers as well as anatomical and morphological site of view to explain what modifications had been take place for ducks heart to perform his normal life at the circumstances of high blood pressure and pulse rate. The heart which has distinctly pointed apex was built in simple manner located in a transparent taught heart pericardial sac. It was pyramidal in shape externally and has a longitudinal salcus passing to the right side, the anterior of the heart is divided into two unequal anterior chamber similar to those of mammalian hear .The heart valves are modified in order to minimize the fraction that occur as a result of high blood pressure and pulse rate of the duck heart , also the muscular trabeculae replace the chordate tendineae , which were present in the mammalian heart in order to minimize the fraction resulting from high pulse rate..

A correlation exists between normal breathing rate and watching horror movies

The reason of present research was to estimate somewhat relation between normal breathing rate and watching horror movies. Total 135 subjects were the participants of this project. The breathing rate is expressed as the total number of breaths a person receiving in 1 minute. The normal rate is 12 to 20 breaths per minute in adults. The respiration rate underneath 12 and overhead 25 is regarded as abnormal and it points to grim health problems. The situations that can vary normal respiratory rate are anxiety, fever, flu, air pollution, asthma, pneumonia, heart failure, lung disorder, drug overdosing and usage of narcotics. Now a days, number of people love viewing horror movie while some hatred them. There is an elongated list of such movies on internet. Scary movies have the physical and psychological effects on one’s mind. The most evident are anxiety and stress that can lead to high pulse rate and sweating. Such physical effects result in increase of respiration rate. In such situations, we inhale more oxygen and exhale more carbon dioxide. The member of the audience spots high breathing like performing a light exercise. The thrill of unknown and abrupt appearance of any terror initiates the body to groom against that fear. After-all above procedure, it was summarized that there was a significant interaction between normal breathing rate and watching horror movies.
