The purpose of this secondary data analysis, guided by allostatic load theory, was to compare depressive symptoms and their correlates in men and women following mild or moderate traumatic brain injury (n = 159). Using general linear modeling procedures in the Statistical Analysis Software, women reported significantly higher Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression scores compared with men. According to the Neurobehavioral Functioning inventory subscales, women also reported higher somatic and motor symptoms and difficulties with memory and cognition. Further, women within the first 6 months of their injury reported higher levels of depressive and depressive-somatic symptoms, perceived chronic stress, pain, memory difficulties, and somatic symptoms. These findings were no longer present at the 6- to 12-month or >12-month cutoffs. Women's depressive symptoms during the early recovery period are explained by higher symptom loads and perceived stress, yet mechanisms responsible for these differences remain to be elucidated. Future research is needed to describe hormonal, perceptual, or brain structure differences that may account for these findings. Findings from such research will most likely to contribute to our understanding of postconcussion syndrome.

The North American Nursing Diagnosis Association has recognized unilateral neglect (UN) as a nursing diagnosis for more than 2 decades. Such a designation implies that nurses primarily are responsible for assessing, treating, and researching the disorder. However, nurses have made few documented contributions toward this responsibility. Although UN is a complex problem that requires attention from several specialties, there is room for nurses to substantially increase their role. Nurses are uniquely positioned to assess and treat UN by virtue of their interaction with patients in a variety of times, settings, and activities. Nurses need to develop quantifiable measures of clinical observation that are reliable and valid in nursing practice. This article reviews the literature to examine the impact of UN, existing assessment methods, and nursing involvement in assessment and treatment. Potential nursing contributions in practice and research are featured as well.

Although extensive literature exists on the experiences of people living with chronic nonmalignant pain as a primary condition, little is known about the phenomenon of pain as it is experienced by the person with a chronic disabling condition. This focus group study explored the experience of disability-related pain among 32 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) living in the community. Thematic analysis of transcripts revealed 4 broad conceptualizations of the experience of living with chronic MS-related pain. The first theme, pain is pervasive, described the overwhelming and intrusive presence of pain in daily life. Participants related the physical, emotional, and social consequences of living with chronic, disability-related pain, which caused them great loss and restriction. The second theme resonated around feelings that nobody understands. The participants sought understanding and validation of their pain experiences by family, friends, and healthcare professionals and struggled with difficult issues concerning the legitimacy and invisibility of their pain. The third theme, I'm fine, referred to the propensity of participants to keep pain private from others. In part because of its contested nature, participants at times concealed their pain from others to avoid conflict and maintain some semblance of their former lives. The final theme that emerged was always a factor in the equation. The participants shared how MS had transformed their worlds into ones in which pain and discomfort had become a normal part of everyday life, requiring careful negotiation and planning to undertake activities and prevent exacerbation. It is vital that healthcare providers give people with MS opportunities to talk about pain and pain-related concerns, validate their experiences, and provide interventions that enable self-management. Clinicians are encouraged to challenge their own meanings and expectations about disability-related pain so that therapeutic interventions can be facilitated.

A colloid cyst, also called a neuroepithelial cyst, is a slow-growing, benign tumor that occurs in the anterior third ventricle. The cyst typically blocks the foramen of Monro, causing obstructive hydrocephalus involving only the lateral ventricles. The most common presenting sign and symptom of a colloid cyst is headache. Less common presenting signs and symptoms include nausea, vomiting, memory loss, mental status changes, gait disorder, and visual disturbances. Surgical resection is the recommended treatment. Meticulous baseline and ongoing neurological assessments are of paramount importance in the care of a patient with a colloid cyst to promote optimal patient outcomes.

And how this book will influence you to do better future? It will relate to how the readers will get the lessons that are coming. As known, commonly many people will believe that reading can be an entrance to enter the new perception. The perception will influence how you step you life. Even that is difficult enough; people with high sprit may not feel bored or give up realizing that concept. It's what where are you blue will give the thoughts for you.

Abuse happens every day to elderly and disabled individuals either through ignorance or design. Protecting your patient or loved one requires you to be suspicious of everyone who has access to the patient, even other family members. It is the most difficult and demanding task you will ever undertake.
