Acute ischemic stroke refers to the death of brain tissue caused by interruption of the blood flow to brain. This interruption is caused by occlusion of a cervical or cerebral artery, or cerebral vein (Uchino, Pary, & Grotta, 2011). It is among the leading causes of death in the world. According to the estimates of American Heart Association, nearly one stroke occurs in every 40 seconds in the U.S., approximating 795,000 cases of stroke per year (American Heart Association Stroke, 2015). Assessment and management of acute ischemic stroke patients need to be done as soon as ...

Non-Hospital vs. Acute Hospital Comparison.

Health care can be defined as overnight patient care that requires supervision of the health condition of a patient. Non-hospital care refers to care that does not require overnight stays in hospitals, and can be managed during patient’s visits to a hospital (Griffin, 2008). A non-hospital health care facility operates under four elements; curative medicine, disease prevention, health promotion, and rehabilitation. However, these functions or elements differ in various non-hospital care providers (Singh, 2010).
Some non-hospital health care facilities specialize on treatment, others on rehabilitation while others specialize on disease prevention. In a non-hospital care facility, there lacks a clear classification ...

Introduction

The present problem is that nutrition and hydration are not considered priority nursing interventions and are performed in a suboptimal manner as shown in many studies (Begum & Johnson 2010; Godfrey et al 2012; Ross et al. 2011). Food and feeding times are institutionalized and fail to consider the preferences of the patient and other needs that may be linked with dining. In order to learn the most appropriate interventions in providing patients with nutrition and hydration, there is a need to perform a literature search and determine whether this topic has already been extensively studied or if further research is needed. The ...

Report Assessing the Feasibility of Different Techniques for Providing Fresh Water to Arid Regions of the World

Introduction
Howard, Xin, and Mathias (2010) suggest that approximately 30 percent of the whole land in the world comprises arid and semi-arid areas inhabited by several populations of the world. The authors continue on the same note by asserting that the main challenge to the social and economic development of these arid regions of the world is the acute shortage of water, necessary for the development of various sectors within the society. The impediment results from the fact that the development of the economy has significant dependence on the availability of water in the regions. Sound development of ...

Introduction

This experiment is to evaluate the effects of the use of drugs on the human body, particularly, the effects of Salbutamol on asthmatic patients. Specifically, this paper seeks to describe what a drug is and the principles behind the actions of drugs and to detail drug receptor interactions such as specificity, binding, affinity, antagonists, and agonists. In this study, participants performed the Harvard modified step test. The aim of this study of this test is to measure the maximal physical working capacity such as the maximal oxygen intake (Rhyming, 1953). It is hypothesized that maximal working capacity such ...

Executive Summary
Lower back pain is a common symptom prompting clinic visits in the University. The standard treatment is pain-relieving medications and rest from exertion but current trends in health care point to the increasing use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in the treatment of lower back pain. The use of CAM is motivated by patients’ desire to avoid the side effects of frequent pain medication use. However, many CAM modalities only result in short-term pain relief which decreases patient satisfaction with these treatments.

Bovine tuberculosis (TB) refers to a chronic bacterial infection of cattle that distresses some species of mammals. It is a substantial zoonosis that may spread to humans, mainly via the consumption of unpasteurized milk or the inhalation of aerosols. In developed nations, eradication initiatives have eliminated or reduced tuberculosis in cattle. As a result, human disease is currently rare. Nevertheless, reservoirs in wildlife may cause eradication challenging. Bovine tuberculosis remains popular in underdeveloped nations, and severe economic losses may take place from livestock mortalities, trade restrictions, and chronic disease. In some circumstances, this disease can similarly be a grave ...

Introduction

Dextropropoxyphene is a drug used as a painkiller. The mild opioid can alleviate long-term or short-term pains. Dextropropoxyphene is an opioid that is a morphine-related drug. It acts on the neural system in the spine and the brain and hence relieves pain. The drug has been available for use by blending it with other drugs or on its own. In the recent past, use of the drug has been rejected by several countries, among them Australia, because of safety reasons. In Australia, the drug has been recently in March 2012 following discoveries that Dextropropoxyphene can cause changes in the electrical activity ...

Introduction

Cerebrovascular accident refers to stroke in which the blood flow to the brain is interrupted due to a rupture of an artery to the brain or blockage, resulting in oxygen deprivation and consequent death of brain cells. Our brain needs a steady oxygen supply to have blood pumped throughout the body effectively. The blood flowing through the arteries to the brain carries the oxygen. In the case of a cerebrovascular accident, one or few of these arteries get ruptured or blocked, thereby interrupting the flow of the oxygen-rich blood to the oxygen. Within 60-90 seconds of oxygen deprivation, the brain cells in ...

Oxygen and Respiratory Disease

Part 1: Introduction
Oxygen and respiratory complications are closely associated with oxygen therapy. Long term oxygen treatment can help to make the quality of one’s life better. Oxygen therapy help COPD patients and those with hypoxaemia, low oxygen levels to live longer. Even if oxygen is prevalently used in hospitals, it has often been wrongly prescribed causing further complications to patients. The major indication for oxygen therapy is the respiratory failure. Respiratory failure involves the failure to keep up adequate gas exchange. Documentation in a number of hospitals fails to record the respiratory rate and other vital signs ...

Introduction

The studied muscles on which this report is based make part of the skeletal muscles group; they are connected to the bones by “tough cords of tissue” (NIH 2012) which are called the tendons and, as they contract, they pull these same tendons and the bones attached, causing movement. These movements are of voluntary nature, one being capable of controlling them as one wish to. The action of these muscles can be described as being initiated on the body’s standard or anatomical position and used for specific movements that one requires for a given activity. Some of these actions ...

Sensory perception: Accuracy & fallability

Sensory perception in human beings is far from being perfect. Human eye cannot see beyond the rainbow spectrum of colours (VIBGYOR), even though they are capable of discerning a single colour from several millions of them arranged together. The ear is capable of picking up sounds at frequencies of twenty thousand cycles per second, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t sounds at higher frequencies. Unlike some animals, we cannot sense electric or magnetic fields in our surroundings, but in addition to the five traditional senses, we can also motion and balance, temperature and the relative position of the ...
