With a population that is aging fast and a sedentary lifestyle, the burden of musculoskeletal care is expected to rise with time. Insurance firms have to bear the bulk of ...

Pregnancy Is Treated as a Disease in Today’s Society, in Canada

Pregnancy is considered as a natural phenomenon. Whereas some people believe that pregnancy is a disease and it has to be treated before giving birth to a child (McKay, 2006). Pregnancy is a God gifted thing and nobody can interrupt this system. Although there might be some diseases attached with the pregnancy, but considering pregnancy as a disease itself is wrong. Diabetes and hypertension are commonly known complaints of pregnant women in Canada. The reason for this is not pregnancy, but the excessive weight gain, breast cancer and HIV during the pregnancy (Tata, et. al. 2005).

Problem statement: To study and analyze the Canadian pregnancy treatment.

The significance of the study: The main purpose ...

Psychiatric mental health nurses (PMHNs) are responsible for assessing the mental health needs of individuals and developing a nursing diagnosis and plan of care. While PMHNs usually implement nursing processes relevant to the patients’ needs, advanced practice registered nurses in psychiatric care can also prescribe medicine and conduct psychotherapy. According to a study by Marks, Hallam, Philpott, and Connolly (1975), PMHNs who were trained in behavioral psychotherapy for neurotic disorders proved to be as effective as psychologists and psychiatrists working in the field. Although the nurses’ effectiveness in providing treatment has been confirmed, the experiences of patients who received treatment from ...

Tetrahymena is a unicellular ciliate has always been the main model of studying the hormonal system of all the unicellular animals. Tetrahymena functions by, producing, storage, and the uptake of insulin that is a hormone that is similar to that of the mammals. It functions as an immunocytochemical and the functionality. The plasma membrane and the nuclear envelope of Tetrahymena have insulin receptors that are similar to that of mammal receptors and act as their binding capacities. The cells also have a second messenger and some signal pathway for the insulin. This insulin also influences the formation of other hormones. When there ...

Introduction

Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the term used to describe a wide range of malignant tumors originating in the upper aero digestive tract (9). HNC imposes acute suffering on the patients while swallowing, breathing or speaking. Tobacco and alcohol are the primary causes in majority cases of HNC (18). Cancer is the second leading cause of death with estimates of 1.66M and 0.58M in 2013 for new cases and deaths respectively (15,16). Endoscopy, biopsy, mirror scan and CT/MRI imaging are commonly used methods for diagnosis in the last 20 years.

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 ...

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Water Contaminants from Pharmaceuticals and Chemical Industries

Abstract

In industrial processes, the generation of waste waters is unavoidable sometimes. It is therefore important to develop process for decontaminating this water. The treatment of toxic effluent that contains pharmaceutical and industrial chemicals cannot be satisfactorily attained through the use of conventional processes. Advanced oxidation processes (AOP) have been very vital and successful in their application to degrade these toxic compounds found in water. The high generation of extremely powerful oxidizing agent like the hydroxyl radical forms the back bone of the AOPs. This method is capable of destroying organic compounds until ...

Pain management in elderly patients is a challenge, and when elderly patients suffer from dementia, pain treatment becomes even more difficult because of the communication problems with such patients. Almost 50 percent of the elderly patients admitted to hospitals complain of pain, and of these 20 percent complain of severe pain (Monroe and Mion, 2012). However, research has documented the under-detection and under-treatment of pain in patients with dementia (Cunningham, McClean, and Kelly, 2010). It has also been found that systematic use of analgesics in elderly dementia patients can reduce their level of agitation within acute care settings (Hirsch, 2011). ...

Acupuncture is a traditional alternative medicine of China, being practiced for thousands of years in the country. Recently, many western countries have also started making use of the treatment for various conditions. It is chosen by many since it is known to be less invasive, more natural, and less liable to adverse events as compared to orthodox forms of treatment (Vincent, 2001). However, critics of complementary medicine have criticized it as being dangerous (Vincent, 2001). This has prompted to growing demand for evidence of its efficacy and safety. In addition, there is also some evidence in the literature about adverse ...

Problem

Diabetes has become a major health concern throughout the world; Lewis et al. (2007) state that in the United States (U.S.), an estimated 20.8 million people (7% of the population) have diabetes mellitus, and 41 million more people have pre-diabetes. It has become the fifth leading cause of death in America. The major goals of diabetic management are the reduction of symptoms, promotion of well-being, prevention of acute complications of high glucose levels, and the prevention or delaying of onset and progression of long-term and lasting complications. These goals can only be reached with patient compliance to prescribed treatment regimens. ...

Usually, non-economic factors include the political and social environment that may not affect the level of national proceeds and productivity directly. Health care demand is one of the hardest things to plan. This is because demand analyses seek out to find dynamics that are most significant in determining how many consumers are able and willing to buy health care at a given price. An enhanced understanding of the demand affairs provides discernments into the some health care concerns that are evaluated in the health care economics. You will agree with me that, in many cases the demand for health care ...

Introduction

Alcoholism has been a persistent problem affecting the American family, with approximations of up to 18 million Americans going through alcohol related problems (O’Farrell, et al, 2003). There are many cost effects accompanying the alcoholism problem, both physical, emotional and economic. The vastness of the costs of alcoholism cannot be over emphasized, as they affect not only the alcoholic but close family members, friends, colleagues and even the state. Statistics indicate that about 1 million adult Americans seek treatment for alcohol-related problems each year (O’Farrell, & Rotunda, 1997),

Throughout their lifetime, about sixty percent of men and fifty percent of women in the United States experience some form of traumatic events. This predisposes them to Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, a condition that results when the body remains alert to any other possible cause of trauma that may reoccur (Marion, 2010). This has resulted to a situation where about eight million people suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, commonly known as PSTD. The disorder results when the body is too shaken to withstand the shock form the traumatic events, and instead of a person getting over the event, the body keeps all ...

Introduction

Millions of cells are always being removed in the human body in order to regulate biological pathways and keep cells healthy through a particular mechanism called cell death or apoptosis. Through apoptosis, such homeostatic death of cells has been defined as a tolerogenic or a non-immunogenic event for many years [1]. However, during the past few years, scientists have discovered the occurrence of a different concept of cell death – immunogenic cell death (ICD), where the death of a cell stimulates a response from the immune system against antigens of a dead cell, and this mechanism of cell death may ...

Introduction

Human Immunodeficiency Virus, or HIV, is a virus that weakens the immune system in humans. This is accomplished as the virus attacks the cells that fight infection and diseases. As a virus, it is similar in nature to other viruses, such as the flu. Unlike other viruses, however, the symptoms associated with HIV do not improve over time as HIV reproduces by systematically overtaking the cells within the host body. HIV does not heal and once an individual is infected, that individual will live the remainder of their life with this virus (aids.gov, n.d.).
The symptoms associated with HIV may ...

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.

The issue of gender of the criminal offenders has been subjected to various researches. The highlight on gender scrutinizes how female offenders are treated against the male offenders when they committed murder, one of the most serious crimes across societies. Generally, most studies observe that female offenders are sentenced to lesser punishments than the male offenders. According to Hedderman and Dowds (1997, p. 8), women receive less harsh treatment that the male offenders. However, some studies contradict these gender generalizations. For instance, Kennedy (2005, p. 21), affirmed that when women commit a serious offense such as murder, which are ...

Amongst mentally ill patients at high risk for early readmission, does the utilization of a multi-component transition care plan as compared to usual care help to improve early readmission rates?

Abstract

The early hospital readmission rate in a 30-bed psychiatric unit in California is 25%. This figure is higher than the 13% reported in the literature for high-income countries like the US (Vigod et al., 2013). Early readmissions are problematic as they are costly and disruptive to the personal and professional lives of patients and their family members. In addition, they are construed to be negative patient outcomes and negative indicators of ...

Diabetes in America: Research Proposal

Given the recognition and on-going research into the disease of diabetes, there has probably been thousands and perhaps millions of books and articles written on the subject. The most commonly recognized types are type 1 and types 2 diabetes, but others include gestational, monogeneic, and cystic-fibrosis related diabetes (NIDDK, 2017). It is impossible to determine how many people in the world have diabetes or how many will develop it. The estimates of the amount of money spent in patient care and research are only guesses, and the suffering by diabetes and their loved ones is incalculable. However, this paper ...

Business Description, Memo and Proposal

The report on the hair industry in the Dominican Republic identified key trends in the market. With regards to consumer behavior, the female population in the country dedicates significant part of the budget to hair treatment products. However, the economic slowdown in 2013 reduced the surplus income, resulting in rationalizing of the budget. The implication is that unless women were able to acquire the products are a relatively inexpensive price, these trends in consumer behavior were bound to change. This would in turn affect the profitability of the industry. As such, the purpose of this project is to investigate this ...

Diabetes is a polygenic disease characterized by significantly higher levels of glucose in the blood. In this disorder, metabolic disorders lead to persistent thirst (polydipsia) and excessive level of urination (polyuria). Diabetes is caused by insulin-related disturbances in the body. In healthy human beings, pancreatic β cells have insulin that is found as a hexamer having three insulin dimers attached together by two central zinc ions. The insulin monomer has a 21-residue A chain as well as a 30-residue B chain. These chains are cross-linked by two disulfide bridges, i.e. CysA20-CysB19 and CysA7-CysB7. There is also a ...

Rehabilitation of mentally ill in prisons and jails: issues and concerns

The California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2005 added the term “rehabilitation” as a part of the agency’s official title, becoming the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. However, the change in title did not result in a change of philosophy in the treatment of prisoners in the United States. Though the reintegration of the methodology of rehabilitation officially entered the regime of the CDRC, there is little or no evidence that the methodology has significantly changed (Berkeley- University of California, 2009, p. 277).
Berkebile (2010, p.1) reported that by 2009, California’s penal facilities ...

A major problem within a clinical trial is an equipment failure. In a clinical trial related to cardiovascular diseases, Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a major equipment used to study particular heart defects. Failure or inaccuracy of the equipment may lead to improper treatment or even lead to fatal issue and death in rare cases. EKG readings form the basis for interpretation of a particular hear defect. ECG is required for detecting electrical activity in the heart, this in turn if not functioning properly may produce inaccurate results. ECG malfunctioning was reported due to battery failure as ...

Problem statement for research purpose: Hypertension can be a cause as well as a consequence of chronic kidney disease (CRD). A number of clinical studies have identified the harmful effects of uncontrolled hypertension on the kidney function (Kokubo, 2012; Berlowitz, 2016)). According to NIH statistics, 23.3% individuals without CKD had hypertension in a representative sample. On the other hand, 35.8% of individuals in stage 1, 48.1% in stage 2, 59.9% of stage 3 and 84.1% in stage 4-5 CKD had hypertension (National Institutes of Health, 2010). In stage 4 CKD, the glomerular filtration is the lowest at <15 ...

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 ...

Restatement of initial research questions

Reading is a crucial skill in life. Therefore, it is one of the core skills that learners must acquire. Duggan (2009) states that reading comprehension is affected by many internal and external factors and visual processing. Reading comprehension is defined as the degree of understanding a text (Jager-Adams, 1994). It does not only include the amount of reading time, but also the ability to trigger information from the text. According to Ouellette (2006), the end goal of reading is comprehension. Therefore, reading time does not provide a full picture of reading comprehension because one can quickly skim the text ...

ABSTRACT

Statistics reveal that there are over one million asylum seekers around the world every year. Asylums seeker have different definitions, but the most basic idea is that they are people seeking to leave their countries because their lives are at risk because of their race, color, religion, political persecution, war, or natural disasters (Bozorgmehr and Razum, 2015; Esses, V. et al, 2008). Many factors determine whether the refugees will be accepted in their intended country or not. Demographic variables, as well as the attitudes of the natives and the attitudes of the asylum seekers, determine the kind of attitude ...
