Sjogren Syndrome(SS) is an autoimmune disease that causes lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, primarily lachrymal and salivary glands. Simply put, it is a chronic immune disorder in which white blood cells of the patient attack saliva and tear glands. At times, glands that keep the vagina moist are also attacked resulting in vaginal dryness. In normal cases, humans' immune system generates antibodies to attack harmful material as virus and bacteria. Putting the cart before the horse, the immune system in SS patients starts producing autoantibodies and autoreactive cells that start attacking those very body parts that they are ...

Ethical conduct remains an issue of great importance in any form of work done. Development of maintenance drugs for chronic illness such as hepatitis by the pharmaceutical companies remains a burning issue with the libertarians. The libertarians have the great desire to see several medications for the illness rather than the maintenance drugs. However, the pharmaceutical companies persist on manufacturing such drugs for the disease. Such a scenario has developed a hot debate that needs long lasting solutions. Chronic illnesses are very sensitive and require proper attention from the pharmaceutical companies. It is not true to say that the ...

Abstract

Health education and promotion have been gaining momentum since the 1930s when its role in illness prevention in America became apparent although it had been in existence before civilization in the form of trial-and-error and the use of herbs (Cottrell et al., 2015). During the period of Renaissance, society believed that disease was caused by sin. The focus during the 1930s was to mitigate the effect and spread of contagious illnesses by teaching proper sanitation techniques and finding ways to improve the healthcare system. With the rise of modern medicine and very high sanitation standards in the 1950s, the ...

ATTENTION GAINER: As I speak, there will be people amongst us who would be checking their phones and if not checking they would be thinking of the one email that needs to be sent or that one application you heard about.

Let me prove my point with the following example. SIGNIFICANCE (SOURCE): A Phoenix-based CEO of The J Brand Group, Jenn Hoffman, while giving an interview over breakfast ...

Integrated Perspective Studies

The case study of Merck/Vioxx case is highly significant in explaining in a practical view how causation and correlation arguments can affect and give impacts in legal claims. It is an indication of how ability or failure to understand the causality and correlation in an event or a case can impact defining a case (Pearl, 2010). This case can, therefore, be argued at different dimensions to define it in favour of or against the defendant. In this case study and as pleaded guilty for, it is quite clear that Merck had committed an offense which is probably civil offense ...

Since the dawn of human civilization, diseases have always been an ordinary part of people’s lives. As the civilization develops, human beings find new ways to resist illnesses, both naturally (because the human immune system also evolves) and medically (by vaccination). The results of a long-time fight against the disorders of our organism are impressing. A considerable number of maladies, which seemed to be lethal to our ancestors, are easy to prevent nowadays. For example, due to a growing role of general vaccination, the number of measles-caused the number of deaths to decrease dramatically from more than two ...

Alzheimer’s disease has been a growing issue in the United States in the past few decades. Of course, the topic of Alzheimer’s disease itself is too broad; therefore, I chose to focus on the rising rates and prevalence of the disease in the United States. If the trend continue with no treatment or cure provided to citizens, it is likely to incur serious medical and economical damages on citizens, and I wanted to explore that. Moreover, the reason behind the relatively new prevalence was intriguing. The topic is relevant to nursing, as well as nursing education because ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications.

On the other side, those who argue vehemently against the drug do so for the same reason, bringing up studies and, at times, propaganda that incites viewers to realize just what cost ...

Introduction:

Occupational therapy is for mentally, physically or cognitively disordered people whose daily living is assessed in order to improve their lifestyles and ease of living.

Abstract

The current antiretroviral drugs have been efficient in the management of HIV by suppressing the virus's replication. It has, therefore, helped in changing this virus from a deathly disease to a chronic infection. The utilization of extremely active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) calls for a lifetime prescription to prevent viral rebound by reducing the viral load to undetectable low levels. This high maintenance of treatment and the various side effects of the drugs and non-HIV related morbidity have led to the need for a better form of therapy. There has been an extensive study on stem cell manipulation done to develop gene therapy ...

Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Therapy and Adlerian Therapy have different philosophical perspectives. According to Corey (2018), Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Therapy argues that personality develops from one’s identification, ego, and superego. On the other hand, Adlerian Therapy argues that a person’s interpretation of early events plays a crucial role in their present behavior. Thus, the two therapies aim to explain the variation in human behavior.

Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Therapy and Adlerian Therapy possess clear concepts. The main argument in Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalytic Therapy is the idea of translating psychic energy to a particular behavior. Conversely, Adlerian Therapy’s ...

Women have for a long time been categorised under the minority umbrella. Historically, women have faced plenty of challenges in their quest for freedom of choice and equity.

The prison system that currently exists today offers a retribution measure instead of corrective actions to assert and ensure that the convicted assailants, after serving their prison time, could go back to the community as responsible individuals. While this is the case, a documentary featured in 2005 and 2009 documents a different role of prisons. Aside from housing convicted individuals, it also serves as a modern day asylum for mentally-ill individuals convicted of committing a crime against society.

I am writing this memo as my personal take on the existing problem regarding the release of convicted mentally-ill individuals to the society after serving ...

Unequal reimbursement to Nursing Practitioners (NP) compared to physicians.

I would like to address the state and federal health officials over the unequal reimbursement to Nursing Practitioners (NP) compared to physicians. The present situation is that NP are reimbursed up to 15% less for provision of primary care services while physicians get 100% of the total cost incurred. This is despite the fact that there is no clear justification for this kind of discrimination. NPs provide the same quality services, and in cases which require personal communication, even better care than physicians.

The tradition applied in medical practice since time immemorial that treatment is administered upon ascertaining that the person is a patient may be misleading as it is helpful. A patient should not necessarily be a person in order to qualify as a patient. I agree with this article because: In past medical ethics literature, the notion of “person” does not seem to have executed a major role in determining how medicine should not or should be administered with regard to a particular patient (Szasz). This notion does not just reveal the bad shape that the philosophy of medicine or medical ethics is in, ...

This situation can also involve the physician not taking any actions that will prevent the death of the patient thus in essence the physician ...

Question 1

Biosocial criminology cannot lead to oppressive and inhumane crime-control policies since it combines information across various fields of study in order to create cohesive perspective to study the relationship of crime and criminals (Beaver and Walsh, 2011). This means that by studying how the genetic influences play a major role in the formation of the anti-social behavior, can lead to effective crime control policies to deter crimes in the future. Several behavioral genetic studies of antisocial behaviours have shown how the study of mild forms of aggression can lead to deviant forms of criminal behavior of a person. It is the ...

In 2003, scientists completed the mapping of the entire human genome. Understanding a human’s genetic makeup allows for all sorts of possibilities, like the cure for diseases. The first use of IVF treatment in 1978, allowed for the prescreening for certain diseases. For example, nowadays the use of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) allows for the detection of cystic fibrosis, Down syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, and hemophilia A. This is only the beginning; soon enough parents will be able to pick specific traits that they want passed down. One method of doing this is called germline gene therapy.
