1. What is the underlying mechanism of M.A.'s asthma? What are the three airway responses that occur during an asthma episode?

An autoimmune response to allergens from cats and plants is the underlying mechanism for the patient’s condition. These allergens, though nonpathogenic, trigger an inflammatory cascade wherein lymphocytes, eosinophils, mast cells, neutrophils, macrophages and dendritic cells exert their effects on the respiratory tract (Linzer 87). As an example, B lymphocytes synthesize immunoglobulin E which helps signal the release of histamine, leukotrienes, prostaglandin and cytokines which are proteins that promote vasodilation and hyperactivity in mucus-producing goblet cells (Murdoch & Lloyd 27). Prostaglandin causes the smooth muscles in the airway to constrict. Along with vasodilation and increased mucus production, bronchial constriction ...

Application of Neural Networks in Medicine

Artificial Neural Networks are extremely parallel, distributed processing systems that using new computational technology founded on the analogy of human information processing system. Artificial neural networks exhibit the propensity to save previous knowledge and after learning it make it available for use for future computations. Artificial Neural Networks have been defined as extraordinarily connected network of simple processing elements known as neurons. ANN has been applied in a number of fields including pattern recognition, classification, function approximation and testing (G. Schaefer).Predicting drug-target interactions using restricted Boltzmann machines
In silico prediction of drug target interaction is an important study ...

- What are the justifications for workplace drug testing?
For a long time, drug use has been a common problem at the work place in the United States of America. This was not until 1982 when the first random drug test was carried out at the work place.

The justifications for workplace drug testing were informed by the accidents at the workplace that were attributable to drug use and abuse. For instance, the first random test for drugs at the work place was in the United States Navy. ...

Analysis of Arkansas’ Victor Case Study

It is appalling that defense attorneys easily manipulate the loopholes existing in the justice system and the law in general. In addition to the defense attorneys, the drug dealers also employ the juveniles to undertake the sale of the drugs. The citizens ignore the vice perpetrated by the juveniles in the streets, bus stops and commercial buildings. The general show of lack of interest by the citizens exposes a deep-rooted belief: acceptance of drug abuse in the community.

Q. 1 Assess Mrs Daps’ medication chart. Discuss three (3) significant risks involved with Mrs Dap’ home and/or inpatient use of medicines.

Based on Mrs Dap’s medication chart, it shows that the patient is being administered with regular, variable dose and PRN medications. The patient requires several medications that are specific to her condition.

Upon procurement of the medication, drug label information must be compared with the prescription on the chart to ensure that they match. Visual comparison prevents errors from drugs that sound and look the same. To avoid confusion, studies show that it is best to check ...

Influenza is a disease caused by a virus that is passed from person to person through exposure to fluid droplets that contain the virus. Thus, the majority of transmission is caused by physically being coughed or sneezed upon or coming in contact with a surface shortly after it had been coughed or sneezed upon (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2008). Symptoms of influenza infection include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, muscle aches, headaches, and fatigue. The one universal symptom of influenza is the fever (CDC, 2011). The primary approach for combating influenza is prevention, through vaccination.

Human beings are prone to make errors and mistakes. It is vital, therefore, to put in place the requisite measures to ensure that these errors are detected early and corrected. Therefore, it is not only desirable, but rather mandatory that all organization adopt a program, which will help it correct mistakes. Hospitals are not an exception. In fact, it should be a mandatory requirement that all physicians and nurses have a computerized entry that will serve to avoid fatal medical mistakes and errors. This paper will analyze the implementation of the Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) program in all community hospitals within ...

Approaching at-risk youth about their behaviors can pose many challenges. For this reason, it is important to have a unified approach backed with research affirming its effectiveness. One very good model for this is the multisystemic approach, using nine different principles and processes in order to make the approach as effective as possible while also as non-intrusive as possible for the subject. We will now explore how this approach is used in practical applications, specifically by looking at a case study on teens at risk of transmitting AIDS and examining some aspects of the approach that are being applied here.

This case exposes the many insidious ways that illness is used, manipulated, and in some instances created, for capital gain. ...

At the time of Mr. Speaker’s quarantine, the information available was that he was suffering from an untreatable form of drug resistant tuberculosis. With this in mind, the most prudent action to take was to isolate him in a ward and conduct further tests to confirm the diagnosis. This particular strain of TB is infectious and untreatable; any effort to control its spread should be the biggest concern of any public health officer. Isolating him was also beneficiary for Mr. Speaker because he would have been put on treatment had the subsequent test confirmed the initial diagnosis. His autonomy ...

The Glucocorticoid receptors are discovered intracellularly in all tissues. They enter cells through inactive dispersion and structure a complex with a receptor protein (Rhodes & Hartnoll, 2002, P.10). This intricate then experiences an irreversible enactment and enters the cell core, where it ties to the DNA, hence prompting organic impacts instigated by these hormones, which include expanded hepatic gluconeogenesis, as well as expanded lipolysis (Ahmed, 2007, P.13).
Dexamethasone is utilized to treat numerous provocative and immune system conditions, for example, rheumatoid joint pain and bronchospasm. Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, an abatement in quantities of ...
