Essays on Fatigue

Diabetes mellitus in itself is considered an endocrine issue. When determining the priority diagnoses for an admitted patient, however, it is important to consider taking an all-encompassing perspective with regards to the pathophysiology of each patient and address each issue accordingly. The priorities in the selected aggregate for diabetes mellitus are as follows: Firstly, there is the situation of unbalanced nutrition often evidenced by increased urinary output (or dilute urine), recent weight loss and a decrease in muscle tone, disinterest in eating, diarrhea and an increase in ketosis. Some of the pathophysiological factors that may have led up to ...

I. Google Search A. http://www.mymsaa.org/about-ms/overview/ This is a website of Multiple Sclerosis Association of America. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease wherein the myelin sheath sof the nerves are damaged causing symptoms such as numbness, fatigue, mobility problems and more (Mymsaa.org). 5 Facts

A steroid (Cortisone) was first to treat Multiple Sclerosis relapses in the year 1951.

The French neurologist, Jean-Martin Charcot gave MS its name in 1868. The myelin sheath or the protective covering of nerves is damaged in MS. “Lesions” or “plaques” are the inflamed or damaged areas in the brain and spinal cord. Worldwide, about 2.5 million individuals have Multiple Sclerosis. (Mymsaa.org) No specific author was indicated in the page. ...

The primary idea of the article is to analyze whether premature pin failure is connected to cyclic fatigue.

Signs and symptoms of depression

Depressed persons may not experience each and every symptom of depression. There are those who experiences most of the symptoms while the rest only experiences a few of them. The degree of suffering varies from each affected individual. The severity of symptoms of depression differs among the affected persons and also over time. It is also important to note that there are also common signs and symptoms that affect every depressed person (Spek et.al, 2007). Although some of the signs and symptoms do not necessarily mean that an individual is suffering from depression, the severity determines if one is ...

Heart failure is a pathophysiologic condition characterized by the heart’s inability to generate sufficient cardiac output, resulting in either inefficient tissue perfusion or increase in the diastolic filling pressure of the left ventricle, or both, which lead to increased pulmonary capillary pressure (McCance, Huether, Brashers, & Rote, 2014). Heart failure is a leading cause of death in the US (McCance et al., 2014; Mozaffarian et al., 2015). American Heart Association has estimated that in 2013, cardiovascular diseases were responsible for 30.8% of all deaths in the US, or 222.9 per 100,000 deaths (Mozaffarian et al., 2015). The 2013 ...

Introduction

Louis Vuitton is an exemplary brand in China after establishing its first store over two decades. Over the time, the company has internalized the geographic segmentation of the Chinese people. The deeper understanding of the market needs can be attributed to the mutual love between the brand and the consumers. More specifically, the consumers in China are more inclined to the conspicuous consumption which is the basic rule for the fashion since it is not a fundamental need as noted by Tsang (2013).

The brand serves the market with high-quality fashion products which in turn induce the consumers to ...

Abstract The successful flight of an aircraft is often attributed to the finesse of its pilots as well as the dispatcher. It is a common practice in air crash investigations to put the blame of such a mishap on the shoulders of its pilots and the air traffic control unit. Most often, the other factors that are inclusive in any successful flight, is omitted. This paper tries to analyze these causes from the perspective of National Transport Safety Board, to generate an independent view about the crash of UPS Flight 1354. After thorough inspection of NTSB reports three main ...

Introduction

Among Americans, approximately 50 to 70 million suffer from a sleep disorder. Sleep problems adversely impact both children and adults concerning their daily functioning and overall health. Several research studies have increasingly reported the importance of sleep; connecting a lack of sleep with immune deficiencies, depression, cognitive deficits and risk to obesity. (Bellesi, Tononi, Cirelli, & Serra, 2015; Johnsen, 2013; Walker & Stickgold, 2014). Recent literature has supported the robust correlation between sleep and mental health(Johnsen, 2013; Peppard et al., 2013; Sekhon & Strohl, 2014; Walker & Stickgold, 2014). The majority of psychiatric disorders are linked to sleep disturbances. In the past, ...

(PART 2)

Introduction

Type II diabetes mellitus has a wide prevalence in the UK and across the globe, with significant impact on the aging population. Literature reviews have been consistent to define the disease as a growing epidemic with lifestyle implications. Lifestyle modification has been considered to be an important preventive measure against the development of the disease. Feinglos and Bethel (2008, p. 337) supported this view, indicating that behavioral and lifestyle changes should be included in the treatment program for diabetes mellitus, not only as a treatment approach but also as a preventive measure as well. However, it is ...

Acute bronchitis is inflammation of the bronchi while pneumonia is an infection that causes the inflammation of one or both of the lung tissue. Both respiratory diseases have similar manifestations such as cough with sputum production, muscle aches and fatigue. According to the FDA, 300,000 adults age 50 and above are hospitalized every year due to pneumococcal pneumonia (Sagon, 2012). A 55 year old suffering from pneumonia would have signs and symptoms such as cough which can be dry or productive (green or yellow sputum, occasionally rust colored), sudden onset of fever with temperature greater than 380C, chills ...

Failure in materials and structures could occur due to several reasons such as engineering design failure, static loading or fatigue in the mechanics of materials (Campbell 1). In most cases, it is prevented using fracture prevention methods and frequent material and structure assessments. The cost of fatigue failure in the United States comprises of failure occurrences as well as the fatigue failure prevention strategies. According to the National Bureau of Standards (np), the cost of material failure in the United States is about $19 Billion per year which is 4 % of the country’s gross national product. This cost ...

Epidemiology forms the foundation of public health and nursing in its entirety. As such, understanding the demographic patterns, causes as well as effects of a disease enables the nurses to make appropriate decisions, identify the risk factors and subsequently come up with evidence-based intervention strategies to mitigate the effects of the disease. The purpose of this paper is to identify a communicable illness in Ghana and describe its history as well as its pathophysiology. Additionally, the paper will discuss the demographic patterns of the illness, risk factors of the illness and the evidence-based approaches that have been used to ...

Stress is a common phenomenon among the police due to the demanding nature of the profession and the working condition. Initially, the police culture disregarded stress as a problem that affects officers while on duty. However, a study by Bond (2014) has revealed that unmanaged stress among the law enforcement officers can lead to adverse effects on not only the health of the officers but also relations with fellow colleagues and family members. Some of the noticeable effects of unmanaged stress include anxiety, compassionate fatigue and depression. Many police officers work for longer hours and some don’t eat ...

Work burnout and stress are common phenomenon in a health care setting due to long work working hours, hostile clients, complexity of illnesses and divergent view from the colleagues. As such, lack of good sleep, losing temper and getting irritated are common occurrence which can hardly be avoided in this profession. Factors which contribute to these adverse occurrences and frustrations are strict work schedules, emergency cases, poor work procedures and schedules, errors and near misses, lack of data, poor relations, ethical dilemma and lack of resources/equipment. Thus, absenteeism, sick leave, depression, mental sickness and temper are frequent results of ...

Introduction

The nursing theory is identified as a creative and accurate formation of ideas purposely for orderly consideration of an incidence. The nursing theory types are; mid-range nursing theory, nurse practice theory, and grand nursing theory. Mid-range nursing theories often are not much wider scope compared to the grand nursing; it also does provide successful connections with both nursing practice and grand nursing theory. The most commonly applied mid-range theory includes; Orland’s theory of a well-calculated process of nursing, Peplau’s theory that involves interpersonal relations, the human caring theory of Watson (Barrett, 2005). Apparently, most of the mid-range ...

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS

The symptoms appearing as a result of Multiple sclerosis are believed to be a result of blockage in the conduction as a result of defects in the synaptic junctions of the nerves, the defects could be demyelination and inflammation of the nerves (Smith and MacDonald, 1999). There is focal demyelination of the nerves, where the myelin sheath is damages but the axonal continuity remains undisturbed. The difference between Wallerian degeneration and Multiple sclerosis lies in the fact that in the former one there is degeneration of the axon also. Other features that can be observed in case of multiple ...

Karpetis, George. "How experienced social workers apply recovery-oriented mental health policies in everyday practice." European Journal of Social Work 23.1 (2020): 106-117.

Social workers are the first line helpers to people who have recently suffered stress, trauma, and crisis events. They go through various training to handle these individuals because each individual has a different perspective and crisis or trauma that they may have undergone, and each one of them requires a different kind of attention. Most of these techniques that social workers use include offering psychological first aid, listening to the victim, and offering them a temporary ...

Introduction

Cancer affects the body’s most basic unit, the cell. Normally, cells grow and divide to form new cells. When cells grow old, they die to make room for new ones and new cells grow only when the body needs them. However sometimes the old cells do not die or new cells are produced when not needed by the body they form tumors. Tumors can be either benign or malignant (National Cancer Institute, 2011). and organs.

Slide 2

Benign tumors are non-cancerous and when removed they do not grow back. Malignant tumors are cancerous and most instances life threatening. When malignant ...

Diabetes is the most common endocrine disorder with about 20 million people living with the condition in USA. It is broadly divided into Diabetes mellitus (DMS) and Diabetes insipidus but the focus of this presentation is DMS which is associated with elevated blood glucose level (Diabetes Guide, 2005) (slide 2). DMS is classified into Type I, Type II/insulin resistance, Gestational DMS and secondary DMs (Slide 3). DMS is caused by insufficient insulin production (Type I), inability of cells to respond to insulin (type II), inability of the woman to produce enough insulin commensurate with growing demand (Gestational) and other ...

DHEA:

Dehydroepiandrosterone, or DHEA, is a hormone the human body produces via the adrenal glands, which are above the kidneys. The exact effect of DHEA is not yet fully identified; however, it is believed to be a precursor of the female and male sex hormones, namely estrogen and testosterone, among others. Precursors are substances that the body converts into hormones.

The production of DHEA usually reaches its peak around the mid-20s and declines ever after. The same applies to estrogen and testosterone, whose production also declines with age. For that reason, if an individual wants to increase their hormone levels, it ...

If a person has sex, they may also have a sexually transmitted disease, with restrained or perceptible signs. Sexually transmitted diseases (STD), also known as venereal diseases (VD), are diseases that transmit significantly between humans through human sexual behavior, containing vaginal intercourse, and other forms. More recently the term sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has begun to be preferred, as it covers a broader range of meaning; an individual may be infected, and may possibly infect others, without having a disease.

Some STDs can also be communicated through the use of IV used drug needles between an infected person and non-infected person, over ...

A Comparison between UK and India

Abstract

Stress has been part of human life ever since the beginning of mankind. Initially, people stressed themselves out hunting for food, finding places to rest, and inexplicability of natural phenomena. With the globalisation of industries and the presence of multinational companies all over the world, organizations may need to consider adopting certain policies to match up to other similar organizations. Stress in organisations has become a major issue in the UK and most organisations now have policies and procedures to help employees avoid this and interventions are often in place to support them. It is not known whether ...

This question has been among us for decades. Furthermore, it actually splits the society onto two parts: first supports the idea that sport is the key factor in living a long healthy life and another ones are more neutral and skeptical as for this idea.

Before understanding Buddha as one of the three jewels, it is first necessary to discuss the term “Three Jewels,” or “three treasures.” The jewel is something that is very precious. It is the Buddhists belief that the three fundamental teachings of Buddhism are very precious like jewels and for being Buddhist, the person has to take refuge of the three jewels. 'For lay follower and monastic alike, the three 'jewels' remain powerful objects for the ritual and devotional expression of their faith. ‘(“The Foundation of Buddhism” in Gethin, p.168) Taking refuge means taking shelter of the three jewels.

Of the three articles assigned this week the most interesting was “to be Quechua the symbolism of coca chewing in highland Peru” by Catherine J. Allen. The author explains the coca leaf chewing rituals of the Quechua people. The coca plant is the natural source of cocaine, a drug known all over the world for its intoxicating effects. The world has therefore resented the Quechua way of harvesting and consuming coca leaves. However, it has been more than mere consumption of an intoxicating substance for the Quechua; it is a way of life they have lived ever since the beginning ...

Abstract

Fatigue is the weariness after having a hard work experience. It involves a feeling of sleepiness and the lack of ability to continue doing a certain task (Campling and Sharpe, 2008). With relation to pilot fatigue, a pilot on duty with fatigued affects so many people. These include the crew, passengers and the pilots themselves.

The Air Line Pilots Association is an association that should take it upon itself to check into the matter of pilot fatigue. Pilot fatigue may be a problematic catastrophe to all stakeholders in the aviation industry. In addition to the pilots’ association, the employers should also look into the ...

There are signs that are exhibited by persons indulging in drug abuse which would appear to be cross cutting amongst various drugs. However, there are certain specific warning signs that are portrayed by different drugs to the users. This is because these drugs have different components which produce different sensations to the individuals. Thus, individuals would display different warning signs of drug abuse depending on the type of drug that they are consuming. Some of these specific signs of drug abuse have been identified for different drugs that are taken by individuals. To begin with, some of the warning ...

VENOUS STASIS ULCER

Venous stasis ulcers commonly occur in the legs due to venous insufficiency or poor venous blood drainage. Veins of the legs have valves in then which ensures a proper unidirectional flow of blood towards heart. In venous stasis, these valves are damaged, thus the venous blood accumulates in the legs instead of being pumped upwards. A prolonged pooling of blood in the leg leads to increased pressure in the affected area thus causing a break in the skin and causing ulcers. The causes for venous stasis could be smoking, occupations requiring prolonged hours of standing, obesity or deep vein thrombosis.

In order to compare sexuality in teen magazines today and compare that with teen magazines of three decades ago, I selected the current issue of the contemporary magazine M Magazine (March, 2014), a magazine directed at teens. To have a standard of comparison, I read a back issue of Seventeen from December 1977.

M Magazine seems to have more sexually charged articles than other articles. If one were reading M Magazine in order to get a grasp of contemporary teenage culture, they would be likely to conclude that teens of today are interested in: what celebrities are doing, who they are dating, tips ...

That accidents happen in the workplace because of negligible acts by the company and its employees is without a doubt. However, sometimes accidents are purely unpredictable and can happen even in the most careful of setups. Research has indicated that fatigue is one of the main causes of catastrophes that occur in the workplace. When an individual is fatigued, they are more likely to cause injuries because their thinking ability is considerably reduced. It results from the lack of sleep or too much workload. Fatigue makes an employee vulnerable to dangerous injuries around the office (Biddle, 2009). Research has indicated ...

Part A: Strengths and Weaknesses

Purpose of the Study

The researchers have identified the purpose of the study as evaluating the efficacy of FCMPN in reducing fatigue among practice nurses. This is strength in the paper since a clear purpose and objective makes it easy for the reader to understand the study and relate it to nursing practice. FCMPN reduces fatigue, daytime sleepiness and patient care errors by improving sleep quality and quantity. Fatigue is a significant problem associated with working long hours and getting little rest. Nurses suffering from fatigue are a health risk since they are prone to making patient care errors which reduce the quality of care offered ...

a. The study framework used in this study was clearly identified as Lee et al., (2004) model of impaired sleep. This model provides that sleep loss or poor quality of sleep is as a result of inadequate sleep or disruption of sleep. It also provides that secondary factors that may also affect sleep include lifestyle situations and health-related problems.

b. The discussion used in the framework aims to link the concept of sleep loss and the increase of a person’s inability to perform various duties. The article cites various key areas affected by loss of sleep. The framework focuses on ...

The case is about how people get frustrated with the product with multiple features, especially the electronics. The development in technology has made it possible to load products with several features which might be perceived as useful. However, the multiple features can cause a product to be irresistible to consumers and at the same time hard to operate. Thus, adding too many features into a single product will lead to feature fatigue.

The case analyzes how consumers trade off capability and usability before and after the usage of the product. In the research, the participants were allowed to interact with the ...

In our continuing series of athletics training at Taylor Centre, it is important to engage in reasonable emergency response plan. It involves the preparedness, response and finally recovery to reduce the unnecessary impact of the disaster. This is an important exercise since it increases productivity; reduce absenteeism as result of illness, improve the player’s morale and reduces compensation rates. A team without this reasonable means of response can be compared to a city without walls which can be invaded by any danger. Emergency response is what guarantees safety against any unintended external attacks (Gerilyne, 2006)

In the circulatory system, various elements come together to perform a single duty, that of delivering nutrients throughout the major organs of the body through blood. Three major elements are contained in blood. First, there is the plasma, which is the fluid portion of the blood (Chapter 7, p. 152). This carries the materials contained within it to their destination. Floating within the plasma are red blood cells, or erythrocytes; they carry oxygen throughout the circulatory system and supply it to the various parts of the body, including major organs like the heart and the brain (p. 152). Finally, platelets ...

Clinical Presentation of CKD

According to the National Kidney Foundation, chronic kidney disease refers to the structural and functional abnormalities of kidneys over a period of three months demonstrated by either the damage of kidneys or Glomerular filtration rate lesser than 60mL per minute per 1.73 meter square . The clinical presentation of CKD is difficult to detect due to the uncommon symptoms in patients with GFR greater than 35 percent. However, when the percentage of GFR is less than 35 percent, a variety of complications associate with the disorder, such as hematologic, metabolic, psychiatric and cardiovascular issues occur . In such situations, clinical presentation depends on ...

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is the gradual loss of kidney function over time. It is also referred to as chronic kidney failure. It is a condition that develops when the kidney malfunctions and fails to perform its major functions of removing metabolic waste and excess water. Metabolic wastes filtered from the blood are excreted in the urine and include electrolytes and excess fluids (Inzucchi et al., 2012). When these metabolic wastes build up in the body they cause serious complications that makes one feel sick with complications such as nerve damage, high blood pressure and anemia. The major cause of ...

Cortisol is a steroid hormone synthesized in adrenal glands with a myriad of functions mainly in the endocrine and immune systems, and produced during stress circumstances. Under normal conditions, stimuli such as a pathogen release immune proteins called interleukins, which further activate T-lymphocyte cells. T-cells multiply to amplify the immune response and ultimately attack the pathogen (Abbas, 2014). Other immune responses are simultaneously activated, e.g. the complement system. The complement system exerts its functions through three pathways: classical, alternative or lectin pathways. The main activators of the classical pathway are antigen-antibody complexes, which trigger a series of events mainly mediated by complement proteins ...

P- Patient or population (problem)

One of the primary determinants of the quality of care provided in a healthcare setting is the type or kind of leadership within that setting. The nurse leader or Nurse Manager therefore plays a critical role in helping determine the quality of care. When the leadership style they utilize augurs well with the opinions and needs of their staff, then the quality of care is assured to be high and effective for the current patient population (The Joint Commission National Patient Safety Goals, 2012). However, in those instances where the leadership style does not suit the staff nurses and other workers, ...
