Petrichor;Smell of dust after rain. It was just like any other day, or should I say any other rainy day. The sky stained with somber grays and explosive porphyrous hues and the howling wind running about. The scene, to be completed, had big fat droplets of rain pouring down, soaking all of Manhattan. Lots of things have happened here in Manhattan. Great big complicated things, things where even I, myself, couldn't make heads or tails of. Things that I haven't quiet come to grips with, things where

I was fine throughout the entire warm-up and my first shot at my vault, but when it came to my final trip down that runway I sped as fast as I could, let both my feet leave the ground, and boom. When I landed onto the spring board, that same pain struck its way through my knee, but this time it was accompanied by a pop. I knew something was terribly wrong. I stopped right in my tracks and tears started to swell in my eyes. “WHAT ARE YOU DOING?” my coach yelled, his face filled with anger. His

Aldan Nowlan’s “Skipper” and Alistair Macleod’s “As Birds Bring Forth the Sun” appear to have little in common, but both stories show the same series of events that lead to Skipper and cù mòr glas inflicting unintentional pain on their loved ones.

Introduction This essay will aim to look at the main principles of cancer pain management on an acute medical ward in a hospital setting. My rational for choosing to look at this is to expend my knowledge of the chosen area. Within this pieces of work I will look to include physiological, psychological and sociological aspects of pain management. Pain, which is defined in its widest sense as an emotion which is the opposite of pleasure (White, 2004, p.455), is one of the major symptoms of cancer
Pain is neither objective nor seen or felt by anybody other than the person that is experiencing it. Pain is subjective, therefore there is no way to distinguish whether or not someone is hurting and the only and best measurement of pain is that what the patient says it is. In settings such as end of life care, patients present with many different disease processes and ultimately are there because they have an average of six months to live. Along with this stage in their lives, palliative care patients
Pain Pathways and Theories According to the International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), (2016), pain is described as an undesirable sensory and emotional exposure related to actual or potential tissue injury. Pain is a subjective experience and is the most common reason for a person to seek medical help. Pain is a conscious sensation that is picked up by specialized nociceptive neurons and conducted to the Central nervous system (IASP, 2016). Pain is a physiological, emotional, and
The International Association for the Study of Pain states that ‘Pain is an unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage’ and can occur as acute or chronic ("IASP Taxonomy - IASP", 2012). As described in gate control theory by Melzack and Wall, (1965), physical pain occurs when noxious stimulation stimulates afferent nociceptors of the peripheral nervous system. There carry these injury signals to the dorsal
Despite the aforementioned psychological mechanisms associated with pain perception, it is important to mention that pain is first and foremost a biological sensation processed initially by a response in the nerve endings attached to the tissue in the affected area of tissue damage (Moseley, 2017). It is important to identify that there are multiple processes involved in the biological definition of pain, different types of pain are more complex than others and two types of pain are never chemically processed
Proposal When there is a talk about pain, we must distinguish between acute and chronic pain. And as this proposal is about people leaving with dementia and how they express their pain. And as per this we have to think about acute pain situations for people with dementia. People with dementia have the same pain perception as everyone else.

The symptoms of somatic symptom disorder can often be hard to notice because it is psychological and many times the pain they express may seem legit. Many people with the somatization pattern of the somatic symptom disorder will experience many long-lasting
Pain interferes with many daily activities, and one of the goals of acute pain management is to reduce the affect of pain on patient function and quality of life. The ability to resume activity, maintain a positive affect or mood, and sleep are relevant functions for patients during and after treatment.(Wells, Pasero, & McCaffery, 2008). According to international association of pain (IASP) (1994), "pain is an unpleasant sensory experience associated with actual and potential tissue damage".It can

Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT), which can be provided in a group or individual settings, is designed to promote improvement in a human’s physical, social, emotional, or cognitive function.
