Skin-to-Skin Contact for Neonates
The separation of mother and neonate for non-urgent medical reasons is a growing trend in nursing practice. However, research has indicated that the practice can have a deleterious long term effect on the healthy infant and mother with regard to breast feeding, cardio-respiratory stability, and blood glucose levels (Moore, Anderson, Bergman, & Dowswell, (2014). The solution to the problem is to initiate skin-to-skin contact at birth (Moore, et al., 2014). The nursing focused plan is to introduce the practice of skin-to-skin contact following birth, which entails placing the naked infant prone on the ...

Skin cancer is a growing epidemic around the world and rates of incidence rise every year (between 1992 and 2006, the increase was up to 77%). Skin cancer is usually directly related to ultraviolet radiation, especially from the sun and tanning beds. Additionally, there is a misconception that winter sun is less harmful than summer sun, which indirectly leads to numerous cases of skin cancer. Many skin cancers are treatable if detected early; however, prevention of unsafe sun exposure would decrease the number of diagnoses. Nurse practitioners have a great role in health promotion and skin cancer prevention, simply ...

INTRODUCTION

Every year, many lives are usually lost due to the spread of infections in the hospitals. Although all hospitals have infection control procedures and policies, the risk of infections seems to be impossible to completely eliminate. In the course of my clinical nursing experience, I have noted that these infections that are mostly picked up during a patients stay in the hospital mostly ranges from lung infections, urinary tract infections, Methicilin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), and blood stream infections among many others (Amos & Waugh,2010). These are commonly known as hospital-acquired infections (HIA). In this paper, I will expound on the ...

There is a growing need for the education of healthcare workers, for them to efficiently cover and treat wounds and prevent contamination. Thus, there should be an evidenced approach in evaluating differences in the approach of treatment that medical practitioners use in various spheres. For this, it is important to examine some evidences on the different treatment of wounds that are being used nowadays in healthcare. This is crucial for medical practitioner training, while providing opportunity for developing proficiencies with regards to proper wound care, which may avert undesired patient outcomes in hospitals.

Abstract

Stress is a dynamic and interactional process involving intricate body systems with formulations and operationalisation of the components at different levels(1).There is growing evidence that there is a positive correlation between emotional stress and oral health. As will be demonstrated from the literature reviewed in this paper emotional stress can be implicated in oral problems such as ulcerative conditions, inflammatory conditions, dental decay, TMD, RAS and others that continue to be linked to stress. Stress has also been found to aggravate some oral conditions such as oral lichen planus. In some of these conditions the precise mechanisms by which ...

Introduction

Acute myocardial infarction is a complication of the heart that in which patients complain of heaviness or discomfort of the chest area. This complication is mainly as a result of a decrease in blood flow into the lungs or increase in perfusion. Diagnosis of this complication is done with great detail of the family history as well as physical examination to ascertain the levels of complication (Kapfhammer et al., 2004). In most cases, the treatment involves combating the possibility of re-infarction with much focus being given on the need to reduce any further damage of the cardiac tissue.

Introduction

Antigen Presentation
Antigen presentation plays a pivotal role in the immune system through which pathogenic antigens are processed and coupled along with major histocompatibility complex (MHC), and presented to T cells for their effector response. Macrophages, B cells and dendritic cells are the primary antigen presenting cells (APC’s). Intracellular antigens generated by viruses, or some cytoplasmic bacterial antigens are digested by the host cells and coupled with MHC Class I by Transporter associated with antigen Processing complex (TAP), which transports them to the cell surface and presents to CD8+ cytotoxic T cells (Germain, R 1994). These cells elicit a ...

Introduction

Studies have shown that fescue toxicosis is caused by low levels of ergot alkaloids which are highly toxic in endophyte-infected tall fescue grass. It is believed that a number of the ergot alkaloids are involved in the modulation of physiological mechanisms in animals and man. One of the best approaches that can be used to solve the problem of fescue toxicosis from the body system is by adopting the process used by animals to remove the ergot alkaloids toxins from circulation. This can be achieved through understanding of the role played by the cytochrome P450 (CYP3A4) in the elimination of ...

Abstract

With more than 340 million recorded cases worldwide, depression is one of the most common psychological disorders today. Women are at a high risk for developing depression, especially during menopause because their hormone levels fluctuate and personality traits may worsen vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause. However, besides biological and psychological factors, lifestyle factors are important determinants of depression symptoms in middle-aged women, and modifying those factors is associated with significant improvements in depression symptoms. For example, transitioning from a sedentary lifestyle into a physically active lifestyle can reduce depression moods and improve the quality of life. The purpose of this paper is ...

Global warming together with climate change that comes with it has produced a heated debate as to whether or not human anthropogenic activity induced climatic shifts pose an actual threat to the Earth and humankind. Industrial activity effects in deforestation, acid rains, water pollution, and greenhouse effect are well-documented, so is their overall impact on ecology and health of species. Once global warming reaches a hazardous point, it is sure to have world ocean level go up while humankind will have to witness its most beautiful marine cities submerge. The reality of the global warming is that people cannot handle the ...

Ischemic stroke takes place when a brain artery is blocked. The brain is dependent on arteries for fresh blood from the heart as well as lungs. The blood carries oxygen as well as nutrients to the brain as well as takes cellular waste and carbon dioxide. Failure of one artery dictates that the brain cannot access adequate energy and will with time stop its operations. Although, there are a lot of patients suffering from the condition, the rate of treatment has been decimally low. t-PA (tissue plasminogen activator)administration has massively failed to meet the required education levels in the treatment ...
