  2. Penetrating trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrating_trauma

    Penetrating trauma is an open wound injury that occurs when an object pierces the skin and enters a tissue of the body, creating a deep but relatively narrow entry wound. In contrast, a blunt or non-penetrating trauma may have some deep damage, but the overlying skin is not necessarily broken and the wound is still closed to the outside ...

  3. Heinz Werner's orthogenetic principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinz_Werner's_orthogenetic...

    Heinz Werner's orthogenetic principle is a foundation for current theories of developmental psychology [1] and developmental psychopathology. [2] [3] Initially proposed in 1940, [4] it was formulated in 1957 [5] [6] and states that "wherever development occurs it proceeds from a state of relative globality and lack of differentiation to a state of increasing differentiation, articulation, and ...

  4. Permissive hypotension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permissive_hypotension

    Permissive hypotension or hypotensive resuscitation [1] is the use of restrictive fluid therapy, specifically in the trauma patient, that increases systemic blood pressure without reaching normotension (normal blood pressures). The goal blood pressure for these patients is a mean arterial pressure of 40-50 mmHg or systolic blood pressure of ...

  5. Hydrostatic shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrostatic_shock

    Hydrostatic shock, also known as Hydro-shock, is the controversial concept that a penetrating projectile (such as a bullet) can produce a pressure wave that causes "remote neural damage", "subtle damage in neural tissues" and "rapid effects" in living targets.

    In the United States, most deaths caused by penetrating trauma occur in urban areas and 80% of these deaths are caused by firearms. [14] Blast injury is a complex cause of trauma because it commonly includes both blunt and penetrating trauma, and also may be accompanied by a burn injury.

  7. Interactionism (nature versus nurture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interactionism_(nature...

    Greater trauma leads to greater levels of residual stress, and trauma can be divided into pre-trauma i.e., childhood abuse, and post-trauma i.e., social support, in which females are more influenced by post-trauma than their male counterparts in the development of PTSD.

  8. Transgenerational trauma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgenerational_trauma

    Transgenerational trauma is the psychological and physiological effects that the trauma experienced by people has on subsequent generations in that group. The primary mode of transmission is the shared family environment of the infant causing psychological, behavioral and social changes in the individual.

  9. Developmental systems theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developmental_systems_theory

    From position and maternal effects on gene expression to epigenetic inheritance [6] to the active construction and intergenerational transmission of enduring niches, [3] development systems theory argues that not only inheritance but evolution as a whole can be understood only by taking into account a far wider range of ‘reproducers’ or ...
