1.0 Without putting the figures you cited into a spreadsheet, it is quick to appreciate the fact that the medical costs of obesity is clearly higher than the cost of implementing the research project. The net obesity cost (NOC)-to-project implementation cost (PIC) ratio of 10.2 [$1,429 / $140] is convincingly high. A patient’s annual savings from obesity cost can virtually finance this project implementation estimate. However, it is unclear to us if the cost of implementing the proposed exercise prescription protocol (EPP) or the actual implementation of EPP by the patient, using the necessary equipment and ...

Radiologists and the complementary professionals and para-professionals face unique risks while at the work place. Exposure to ionizing radiation induces nuclear changes in cells that may cumulatively lead to cancer. In the case of the patient, the exposure to radiation is necessary in order to establish diagnosis or treatment and the benefits should outweigh the potential harm. For the staff on the other hand exposure to increased levels of exposure is hazardous and undesirable. Shielding is used to avoid accidental exposure to radiation, as well as careful obedience to the laws of physics. The effects of radiation lessen as ...

I understand that cardiothoracic anesthesia is an overly complex and dynamic field that needs proper balance of actions and thoughts. I experienced this while serving my residency in anesthesiology where patients presented complex problems relating to assessing preoperative risks, life support during surgery and subsequently transporting the patients to the ICU. Admittedly, most of these problems demanded broad medical knowledge, sound, quick and remarkably informed medical decision making; decisions whose rightness could not be told easily considering that some of the conditions did not present immediate results. Although, I managed to meet the most if the needs of a majority ...

Every profession has its own ethical considerations, but the area of social work has some of the most heart-wrenching ethical stories, because when practitioners act unethically, either through neglect or through malice, the effects are so tragic.

He did have two relatives in the area – two sisters. Both of them took care of their brother as much as they could, but they also had full-time jobs of their own to hold down. Over ...

1. Explain the 4 main classifications of anesthesia, and provide an example of each. Anesthesia is a reversible, pharmacologically induced state of analgesia, loss of skeletal muscle reflexes and/or responsiveness, amnesia, decreased stress response. Depending on the type of anesthesia used, the aforementioned effects may occur as one or they may occur together simultaneously. Generally, there are four major classifications of anesthesia; local, regional, general anesthesia and moderate sedation (Brookside Associates, 2010). General anesthesia (GA) depresses the central nervous system producing a reversible loss of consciousness and skeletal muscle reflexes and analgesia. Basically, general anesthesia has three phases; induction, ...
