Historical and current experience indicates that regulatory changes in seclusion and restraint practice are often spurred by patient abuse but can ultimately enhance protection for consumers, prevent use of seclusion and restraint, and help transform care so it becomes recovery oriented. Reports of deaths related to restraint and seclusion fueled recent national regulatory changes and a federal...

When evaluating the safety of steel structures, welding residual stress is used as secondary load and if there any restraint, yield base material for load, regardless size restraint. Of late, members increasing with increase in use high-strength steels, proportion total during evaluation structures increasing. Therefore, it necessary to investigate effect restraint on stress, determine reasonab...

Sir, I was interested to read the report of Akhtar and Jagawat (Journal, April 1993 ) regarding the restraint of psychiatric out-patients. While inhuman treatment of psychiatrically ill persons is to be condemned, the argument against the use of physical restraint seems at best superficial in the case of many psychotic patients. In the paper under discussion, the authors have admitted that rest...

Introduction: As stress affects the brain both physiologically and chemically, researchers try to find novel anti-stress compounds with beneficial therapeutic effects. In this regard, the effect of stress and its modulation by Morin hydrate was studied using different acute models in mice. Methods: The models employed were anoxic tolerance, swimming endurance, and acute restraint test. Morin h...

Although restraint stress accelerates colonic transit via a central corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), the precise mechanism still remains unclear. We tested the hypothesis that restraint stress and central CRF stimulate colonic motility and transit via a vagal pathway and 5-HT(3) receptors of the proximal colon in rats. (51)Cr was injected via the catheter positioned in the proximal colon t...

BACKGROUND A primary rationale for scaling up mental health services in low and middle-income countries is to address human rights violations, including physical restraint in community settings. The voices of those with intimate experiences of restraint, in particular people with mental illness and their families, are rarely heard. The aim of this study was to understand the experiences of, and...
