Article review of MRI utilization in Newly diagnosed Breast cancer: a survey of practicing surgeons

In this article, Parker, Schroen and Brenin present the findings of a study they conducted on breast surgeons to determine the practice beliefs which surround the use of MRI in newly diagnosed breast cancer. They state that even though there are guidelines which support the use of MRI in high risk screening, there no guidelines to facilitate the use of MRI in newly diagnosed cancer. They state that breast MRI can identify a disease which is not seen under normal diagnosis procedures such as mammography, frequently leading to a change in surgical therapy. Accordingly, the optimal utility for breast MRI in a group ...

Introduction

It is important to take the patient history. Nurses should take this history during assessment. When this is done, the patient’s problems are easily captured for the purpose of treatment.

Problem Statement

The need to live in a healthy environment is the desire of everyone. A healthy environment exists where health professionals engage in the analysis of various factors that contribute to health problems, and adopting remedies to solve them in their various contexts. This needs appreciation of the cultural diversity among the human population, and recognition of its impact on the diagnosis and treatment of various health issues such as mental illnesses (Covan, 2010). The ethnic background of individuals reinforces their culture and assigns them different gender roles. These are crucial in analyzing health problems in order to advise on the ...

Introduction
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric disorder that is related to serious types of traumatic incidents in life. This disorder got special attention in 1980 and since then scientists are working on this problem. PTSD is one of those considerable public health issues that affect women more than men. It is also common in combat veterans and people who have experienced physical injuries. The U.S. population surveys show that lifetime PTSD prevalence rates range from 7% to 8%. Most important factors in the development ...

Abstract

In this paper, I will cover the issues of treating patients with dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis is a condition when patients develop two disorders, and most healthcare professionals are not able to assist those patients in treating their conditions. A literature review reveals that lack of proper regulations and specialized treatment models are considered the main causes of low recovery rates among patients with comorbid disorders. Other issues include lack of patient motivation, education, compliance with treatments, etc. The available literature mainly criticizes the contemporary situation in healthcare when it comes to treating patients with comorbid disorders, but some approaches ...

Brief Introduction and Importance to Mental Health Nursing

The article entitled “Recovery in Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): A Qualitative Study of Service Users’ Perspectives” written by Katsakou, Marougka, Barnicot, White, & Lockwood (2012) presented an exploration of the perception of recovery from individuals diagnosed with BPD, classified as service users, or those contracting professional mental health treatment. The study had been pursued due to the lack of clear understanding of the manner by which persons diagnosed with BPD attained their respective personal recovery goals and were deemed to be consistent with the recovery goals or clinical improvements provided by mental health practitioners. The study is considered important ...

While it remains debatable that money cannot buy happiness, money certainly can buy quality mental health medications and services. It also may buy a sense of feeling good about one’s self – or at least feeling better in comparison to poorer people. Living in poverty and living with a mental health issue are often comorbidities. Common mental disorders (CMD) such as major depression and anxiety are treatable only if a person suffering from these disorders is able to get access to mental health care. Sadly, this is not often the case for those living at the poverty level or homelessness, no matter ...

Malignant pleural effusion (MPE) is a medical disorder in which cancer causes an unusual quantity of fluid to accumulate between thin layers of tissue lining (pleura) in the outside of the lung as well as the wall of the chest cavity. An important cause of MPE is lung adenocarcinoma, but it has a poor prognosis. In the last few decades, cancer epigenetics have helped a lot in biomarker development (Liloglou, Bediaga, Brown, Field, & Davies, 2014), and epigenetic changes such as those caused by environmental exposures, diet, hormones, stress, or aging are found to be associated with human neoplasia, but ...

Nowadays, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common mental health diagnoses among school children. At the same time, it is a controversial case, as a lot of researchers still argue if ADHD is a real metal impairment. The main problem here is in the difficulty of diagnosis of this condition among children. The acceptance of the disorder is still problematic among both the specialists and families blaming pharmaceutical companies for promoting unnecessary drugs. Though, the supporters assume that the condition severely impacts children’s life and due to the complex symptomatic require special educational program. According ...

The nature, causes, symptoms and diagnosis of psychological disorder, Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID), are not clear and highly controversial. Two different models namely the Sociocognitive model and the Posttraumatic model are put forward explain psychopathologies, diagnosis, and disease etiology associated with DID. The Sociocognitive model suggests that DID, as a psychological disorder, is a product of social and historical circumstances. In contrast, the Posttraumatic model explains that DID disorder occurs because of severe traumas.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) was associated with various behaviors, including violence, impaired emotional regulation, and aggression, which are associated with criminal behavior. It is estimated that TBI affects 8.5 percent of the population, but the highest prevalence of TBI, which can be up to 60 percent, is recorded among prisoners (Williams, 2012). Because TBI is associated with elevating risk factors for offending behaviors, and because it mainly occurs during early stages of life, it is important to investigate clinical implications of treating TBI to reduce criminal behaviors that may be associated with previous brain injuries.

Lauren (2011) in “Pediatric Heart Murmurs: Evaluation and management in primary care,” gave an overview of the cardiac assessment, diagnosis of heart murmurs, and referral recommendations among children. Lauren noted that most of the heart murmurs were innocent resulting from a turbulent flow of blood in the pulmonary arteries or due to delayed cardiac development that leads to slight ductus arteriosus in neonates. Pathological heart murmurs result from ventricular septal defect, severe cases of patent ductus arteriosus or congenital heart diseases.
The prevalence rate of heart murmurs among newborns is between 0.6% and 4.2%. About 90% of infants and ...
