Developmental and Validation of The Illustrated Version of The Home Inventory for Dangers and Safety Precautions: Continuing to Address Learning Needs of Parents in Injury Prevention
Journal of Family Violence, 2003Co-Authors: Alexander J. Tymchuk, Cathy M. Lang, Shannon E. Sewards, Scott Lieberman, Sue KooAbstract:This paper describes the development and validation of the Home Inventory for Dangers and Safety Precautions – Illustrated Version to be used with parents whose children are at significant risk for home injury. Because illustrations are useful in facilitating learning by parents who have difficulty ensuring child and self home safety, colored illustrations representing 6 home rooms or areas were empirically developed for assessment purposes. The dangers depicted were selected from previous work and represented those associated with the majority of family home injuries. Score-sheets contained dangers and associated Precautions administered to 62 referred young parents. Administration and psychometric characteristics were examined; specific hypotheses were tested. Obtained measures of internal consistency for dangers and Precautions for all illustrations (except for Stairway) and for totals were satisfactory. Administration was Suitable for use with this population. Parents were able to identify approximately half of the depicted dangers while being able to provide a Suitable Precaution for 40%. Reading comprehension was predictive of danger identification whereas reading recognition was predictive of Precautions given. The HIDSP-IV is useful in assessing a parent's knowledge of dangers and Precautions from which more individualized home safety instruction can occur.

Sintomas mentais em homeopatia versus neurociência em medicina veterinária
Universidade de São Paulo. Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, 2015Co-Authors: Prada, Irvenia Luiza De Santis, Prada, Marcela De SantisAbstract:O objetivo deste estudo foi o de conhecer a devida correspondência entre os sintomas mentais considerados na homeopatia e as várias regiões e estruturas identificáveis no encéfalo dos animais. Os resultados obtidos mostraram que as sensações e emoções muito primitivas, como medos e fobias, interagem pontualmente com regiões evolutivamente também muito primitivas do cérebro (como amígdala e núcleos septais), enquanto sentimentos “nobres” como afeto e lealdade interagem holisticamente com várias estruturas cerebrais evolutivamente mais recentes, tais como as áreas neocorticais terciárias associativas (área pré-frontal e temporal). No primeiro caso, as manifestações orgânicas são mediadas pelo sistema nervoso autônomo com sinais fisiológicos de taquicardia, elevação da pressão arterial, vasoconstrição periférica, eriçamento de pelos, midríase e secreção de hormônios como adrenalina e cortisol (disfluência comportamental), enquanto na outra situação apontada, eventuais manifestações orgânicas são harmoniosas e serenas (fluência comportamental). O conteúdo de todo o texto do trabalho é indicativo do interesse prático dos dados obtidos para o clínico veterinário homeopata, ressaltando-se nesse contexto a validação do uso de repertórios homeopáticos humanos na clínica veterinária, evidentemente com as devidas precauções sempre balizadas pelo bom senso do profissional.This study was motivated by the need to determine the relationship between mental symptoms considered in homeopathy and several regions and structures identified in animal’s brain. Obtained results showed that very primitive sensations (what “it feels like”) and emotions (what is “put out” in behavioral terms), such as fears and phobias, interact punctually with also very primitive brain regions (from the evolutionary point of view, such as amygdala and septal nuclei), while “noble” feelings, such as affection and loyalty, interact holistically with newer brain structures (also from the evolutionary point of view), such as the tertiary associative neocortical areas (prefrontal and temporal). In the first case, the symptoms are expressed in organic manifestations, mediated by the autonomic nervous system, with physiological signs of tachycardia, elevated blood pressure, peripheral vasoconstriction, bristling hair, mydriasis and secretion of hormones, such as adrenaline and cortisol (behavioral disfluency), while, in the second case, eventual organic manifestations are harmonious and serene (behavioral fluency). Overall results are highly suggestive about the influence of mental conditions over health and disease of the physical body, through the process of somatization. The overall content of this work is indicative of the practical interest in the results by homeopathic veterinary practitioners, and in this context emphasizes the validity of using human homeopathic repertories in veterinary clinics, obviously with Suitable Precaution and, always directed by good professional judgment.
