Introduction

In the production of drugs and other substances, manufacturers have the mandate of listing the underlying chemical compounds and other substances used in the production process. That would help in defining the schedule in which the drug will fall under based on the current drug policy within the United States. Classification of drugs into different schedules helps in maintaining an overall understanding of what to expect based on one’s intake of the drugs and other substances. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) has come up with five distinct categories or schedules of drugs depending on their chemical composition (Nutt, ...

Pathophysiology

One of the most important parts of achieving the goal of being able to meet the patient’s entire healthcare (i.e. nursing) needs is to ensure that the underlying disease’s pathophysiology is well understood by all the stakeholder groups. These groups, in this case, would include the medical and healthcare practitioners, patients, and their respective family members. It would be a lot easier to instruct a patient to have a patient undergo a prescribed healthcare routine once he understands the nature of his condition, why each procedure is being done, and how they collectively contribute to the end-goal ...

A drug is a substance that brings about physiological effects when introduced into the body of a human being.

As a result of this concept, as well as the increase in these diagnoses, more children are being prescribed medications to help “control” their focus. However, with the medications being prescribed affecting the child’ ...

Discuss the therapeutic effects of Ultrasound in the treatment of a tennis elbow soft tissue injury

Introduction The ultrasound is used as a treatment for soft tissue injuries using sound waves that are beyond the range of normal hearing. An ultrasound consists of inaudible high frequency mechanical vibrations (Gibbs, Cole and Sassano, 2009) which are created upon the conversion of electrical energy into acoustic energy through mechanical deformation of the piezoelectric crystal which lies within the transducer (Rheumatology, 2011). Therapeutic ultrasound uses a frequency between 0.75 and 3 MHz (Knight, Knight and Draper, 2013) for heating deeper and superficial tissues. Low frequency ultrasound at 1 Mhz is absorbed by tissues up to 3 to 5 cm ...

Multiple Topics:

Question 1: Is technology the job killer of the 21st century? Increased intelligent machinery, automation, and a reliance on web-based services has caused a reduction in several types of jobs, but it has also created millions of jobs only not for the people who initially lost them. In this regard, technology cannot be considered as a job killer but rather as the price people have to pay for progress.

In this regard it is worth referring to the need to develop an understanding of what the term “quality” actually means and which aspects may be considered within its scope. Lots of definitions of quality exist. However, for the purposes of the following ...

Among all other things in society, technology has the greatest manifestations of development throughout human history. Military, transportation, medicine, communications, and so on; these can be and has been redefined by technological advancement. At first, technology simply begun with agricultural and transportation purposes, but now, it is already the ‘standardized form’ of human processes – even in the most critical medicinal treatments. Since the Scientific Revolution, many claimed that such technological/industrial advancement gave way to the philosophers to produce and extend true knowledge to everyone (Shapin 119), and that such happening is a surge forward and watershed advancement (Kreis, “Medieval Synthesis ...

The American food system as often regarded as unhealthy, several issues are being associated to the way Americans produce their foods such as animal cruelty and too much commercialization by large corporations.

Clinical Excellence

In a society that is as wealthy and as medically advanced as the United States is today, it is difficult to imagine that there exist shortages of anything, including medical supplies. It would seem that a priority would be given to ensure that all necessary medical supplies would be available at all facilities throughout the country. It would be most expected that the private, for profit, healthcare facilities that could afford to pay for all of the medical supplies that it needed would be fully stocked at all times. Shockingly, this is not the case.

The United States is a capitalistic society. ...

Modern capitalism

Economic growth of a nation is perhaps an essential factor that dictates the position of the nation all over the globe. Therefore, several nations purpose to achieve a sustained growth of their economy, which is attainable through development of growth promotion strategies (Speth, 2008). Increased consumption occurs as a strategy that facilitates economic growth and nations have vested so many resources in advertising in order to motivate consumers to increase consumption rates and hence increase economic growth. Moreover, rapid economic growth is a core indicator of economic growth. As a result, modern macroeconomic aspects are aligned to recognizing rapid economic growth features such as ...
