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.

All across the care spectrum, fall and injuries remains a significant challenge as Ganz, et al., (2013, pp. 390-396) documents. In the United States for instance, 700,000 to 1,000,000 people are documented to fall in hospitals (Kalisch, Tschannen, & Lee, 2012). A patient fall in this regard refers to an unplanned floor descent with or without resultant patient injuries. For older persons in the USA above 65years, unintentional falls account for the commonest cause of nonfatal injuries (Ambrose, Paul & Hausdorff, 2013). Additionally, accidental falls are among the commonest reported hospital incidents which complicates approximately 2% of all ...

Abstract

The physical, emotional, and psychological well-being of the children living in Palestine is one for concern. The horrifying tales of waking up or going to sleep in the sounds of bombs and gunfire cause posttraumatic stress disorder on everyone, including children.

Introduction:

In addition to the physiological factors, there are a number of psychological factors that play a major role on musculoskeletal pain that can lead to disability. After the patient has healed from the physiological factors that led to the experience of pain, there are still fear avoidance beliefs that can take the form of chronic pain in the mind, so that the patient resists increases in physical activity levels. Ironically, the decision to reduce physical activity levels in response to this combination of physical pain and psychological fears keeps the back pain chronic, as the patient never overcomes the ...

That fateful night and how one abused man could be responsible for such a heinous crime

One late night in November of 1959, two peopled murdered a family of four in a small Kansas town. It was a robbery and although they could have left right away with the small change in their pockets, the family died. Discovering who actually pulled the trigger was a shock to many. It was not Richard Eugene Hickock, a pedophile and rapist, who ran through the house killing each victim one by one. It was the one who appeared gentle and shy; the rather artistic one who snapped in the last few minutes of the robbery. Someone whom even Truman Capote was sympathetic towards. ...
