...The conditions are Positive Babinski sign, allergic rhinitis, aortic insufficiency, ascites, gastritis, osteoarthritis. Babinski sign is a reflex test that determines lesions and abnormalities in the nervous system, the Babinski reflex is positive when the big toe extends rather than flexes when the lateral sole of the foot is stroked. Allergic rhinitis is the inflammation of nasal mucosa that results in nasal congestion, rhinorrhea, sneezing, and itching of the nose. Aortic insufficiency is a failure of the aortic valve to completely close resulting in blood leaking back into the left ventricle and inefficient heart rate action. Ascites is the accumulation of fluid in the peritoneal cavity and gastritis is the inflammation of the stomach that can cause pain, nausea, tenderness, and vomiting. Osteoarthritis is a common type of arthritis that result from years of wear...

...Reflexes are unconscious actions in response to stimuli. Neonates perform different types of reflexes which help then to survive as newborns and also help healthcare providers to examine normal brain and nerve activity in neonates (Swaiman & Phillips, 2017). Some reflexes occur only during specific period of time in the development of the infant. Some of the reflexes observed in the newborns include, Rooting, Sucking, Grasping, Stepping, Moro, Babkin, Swimming, Tonic neck, and Babinski (Wright, 2016). Rooting reflex occurs with check stimulation and in response the neonate turns the head toward the stimulation site; this reflex becomes inactive at 4 months. Sucking reflex begins at 32 weeks of pregnancy and is not completely developed until 36 weeks of pregnancy. This reflex is activated with mouth stimulation and in response, the newborn begins sucking, it also becomes dormant at 4 months. Grasping reflex is present until 4 months and it is stimulated by touching the palm of the newborn which will close the fingers in a grasp. Stepping reflex is only active until 2 months; it is stimulated by holding the newborn upright making the neonate stepping in motion. The Moro reflex is when the newborn extends arms and legs outward and it is stimulated by loud noise or movement; this reflex lasts until the...

...* 1857 Joseph François Félix Babinski was born. Babinski was a French neurologist who discovered several reflexive signs for diagnosing impairment of the central nervous system. The Babinski reflex of the toes in infants is often used in introductory psychology texts as an example of an innate reflex that disappears with growth of the nervous system. * A reflex used to determine adequacy of the higher (central) nervous system. Babinski reflex is one of the reflexes that occurs in infants. Reflexes are responses that occur when the body receives a certain stimulus. * 1859 Charles Darwin published the On the Origin of Species, detailing his view of evolution and expanding on the theory of 'Survival of the fittest.' * Used to describe natural selection. The most “fit” will better adapt to environment. The “unfit” will have less probability of surviving. * 1878 G. Stanley Hall received the first American Ph.D. in psychology. He later founded the American Psychological Association. * advance the creation, communication and application of psychological knowledge to benefit society and improve people’s lives. * 1879 Wilhelm Wundt founded the first formal laboratory of Psychology at the University of Leipzig. * Marking the formal beginning of the study of human emotions, behaviors, and cognitions. * 1900 Sigmund Freud published 'Interpretation of Dreams'. marking the beginning of Psychoanalytic Thought. * The beginning of Psychoanalytic Thought...

...There is so much to learn from simply observing infants and young children. Watching the infants interact with their caregivers and the class was interesting, as I have seldom spent time just appreciating the behaviors of infants. Each baby was a little different; however, the infants of similar ages shared certain characteristics. This shows how unique each child is even when noticing the similarities between age groups. When observing the babies at the baby show I noted the differences between the one-month-old infants and the one-year infants. The older children were more eager to engage with the class and the professor and they showed more curiosity than the one-month-old infants, who were focused on eating and sleeping. This was to be...

...ADHD Patients and Criminal Activity American Military University CMRJ303 Criminology January 15, 2013 Abstract Utilizing the research of Gudjonsson, Sigurdsson, Newton and Einarsson (2008), NIMH, (2008), Fletcher & Wolfe (2012), Babinski, Hartsouch, Lambert (1999), Jill and Page (2005) and Belluck (2012) this paper reflects the understanding of Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and how it can be a contributing factor to crime. Keywords: ADHD, crime, criminal behavior, treatments, Crimes That Involve ADHD Patients Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is generally displayed through behavioral inhibitions. ADHD is an ever-growing problem within the United States and across the globe. Often time’s people don’t understand ADHD and how such a disorder can lead to criminal activity. Through understanding how ADHD consumes a persons life will demonstrate how this disorder plays a role in the minds of those that have committed crimes. ADHD is most often discovered in children and can continue into adolescence and adulthood. The main symptoms include difficulty maintaining a focused mindset and paying attention to specific tasks. Behavioral issues are often affected due to the difficulty controlling ones behavior. All these symptoms are then topped off with hyperactivity, or being over-active (NIMH, 2008). There are three known subtypes to ADHD. The subtypes are referred to as the following: Predominantly hyperactive-impulsive...

...regardless of their upbringing. All these children still must go through the same developmental milestones. In the first year of life babies undergo dramatic changes, many of these are observed in this film. All four babies are living in their own microsystems, each very different from one another. Ponijao has a big family consisting of several siblings, Bayar lives with his parents and a brother, and Mari and Hattie are the only children for their parents, which is a typical situation in developed countries. We see the babies going through the Sensorimotor Stages as soon as they were born, they all were breastfed, which is a sign that they had sucking reflexes that are connected with rooting reflex and breastfeeding. There was an episode where Babinski reflex shown: Mari was sitting in her highchair and a family cat playing with baby’s feet. I noticed that Mari had all possible toys to help her to develop mentally and physically, but she also can be seen playing with CDs and cellphones. On the other hand Ponijao was happy to play with sticks, stones beads and a plastic bottle. I saw Bayar unrolling toilet paper and feeling very happy when he finally got to its base, which he immediately put in his mouth (Oral Stage of Sigmund Freud’s Theory). Watching these babies playing with whatever they were considering a toy-sticks, CDs or toilet paper roll, we can identify some developmental achievements such as secondary circular reactions, fine motor skills, reaching and grasping, eye-hand coordination...

... also their weight, the circumference of their head, hands, shoe size, arm growth, and last but not least there body shape as well. Allen, K & Martoz, L (2010) When we look at children they all develop differently some will growth mentally at a faster pace than others, and others will grow physically faster than others. Infants will become more of their surroundings and with those stages of infant growths and starting out would be the rooting and sucking reflex which is a very big part of growth because that is a part of survival and that also starts to create them to be able to turn their heads. Some of the other major growths that happen with infants when they are starting to grow would be the Moro reflex, Palamar grasp reflex, babinski reflex, and last but not least the stepping and walking reflex. As those stages start to happen then you have the cognitive development and those stages would start out by the senorimotor stage, object Palmar, emotional development/social-emotional development, temperament, attachment, separation anxiety. Novella J. Ruffin, Ph.D., (2009)As I was doing my research I found a chart that is based on the milestones from the infant stage all the way to the five years of age of where a child should be along the way of their growing and there developmental stages as well.
