Studies have proved the stepping-stone theory, i.e. from simple addiction to “hard core” addiction, which is similar to gateway theory. Some users used canabis or marijuana as a “gateway” or substitute for alcohol, and those who used medical canabis were former canabis users. Charlton (as cited in Reiman, 2009) indicated that substitution with substances was used by some users to address the problem of alcohol addiction, but further using harder drugs for self-medication. Alcohol and tobacco have been regarded “soft” drugs and are used as “gateway” to “harder” ones. The stepping stone suggests that it is a progression (from ...

The concept of free trade has indeed presented some industries as more appealing to the consumer than others. For instance, the standard practice is that most agricultural food processing and manufacturing industries are liked and loved by the public while the agricultural non-food processing industries such as the tobacco industry have been continuously subjected to criticism and unjustified treatment from the larger public. The tobacco industry, in particular, has been subjected to excessive taxation, stringent operational rules and regulations and publicly portrayed as a health hazard primarily because tobacco smoking and usage is associated with liver cirrhosis and some ...

Business

In today’s world of free trade, not all companies are viewed as equal. When it comes to companies dealing in products that cause harm to health of human beings, the attitude of the people, societies and governments is not very positive and this is not wrong from my point of view. I support the consumers in this case and think that the companies producing such dangerous products should be controlled by the government and laws.

Fear messages have been of importance within the nursing profession over the years and were even responsible for the reduction of the use of substance abuse in communities. Substances abuse is discouraged in many communities owing to their negative effects on the general health of an individual (DiBello, Neighbors, & Ammar, 2015). It is because of these adverse consequences that the nursing and health sector, in general, decided to come up with creative ideas to curb the menace. One of the commonly used strategies in this field is the formulation of fear messages to scare away the drug users from ...

A patient-centered communication approach should be utilized. Before teaching the patient regarding the disease process and the complexities, the nurse must assess and evaluate the patient’s previous knowledge about their disease, on their level of understanding and cognitive functions. When patients learn about their disease, they are able to understand it better and therefore adherence is better. However, in order for this to be successful, teachings must be done repeatedly and positively reinforced.

Introduction

The Institute of Medicine, U.S.A, identified global health problems as health concerns that transcend national boundaries. These health issues are influenced by environment prevailing in other nations. Thus, there is a need for cooperative action from countries across the globe to find solutions to these concerns.

CVD includes all ailments of the heart and circulatory system, including angina and heart attack. Other CVD diseases include carditis, cardiomyopathy, and congenital heart disorder.

Multiple Choice Questions

Increased erythropoietin production Increased heart rate Increased cardiac output Enhancement in oxygen extraction The answer for this question is b. increased heart rate. A reduction in tissue oxygenation as happens in anemia stimulates increased production of erythropoietin through a complex feedback mechanism. Increased production of erythropoietin enhances erythropoiesis in anemia. Increased extraction of oxygen in anemia is a compensatory mechanism that is mediated by an increase in 2, 3-diphosphoglycerate concentrations. Increased cardiac output is the main hemodynamic compensatory mechanism in anemia that aims to increase blood flow to the body organs. An increase in heart rate ...

Smoking has been evidently linked with the progression and exacerbation of coronary and hence cardiac conditions. Plaguing of the coronary arterial lumen due to smoking leads to the narrowing of the arterial lumen, hence leading to blockage of the coronary artery and subsequently, reduced cardiac output and the progression of a cardiac condition (Lloyd-Jones et al., 2010). In this regard, smoking cessation is pretty essential in arresting the exacerbation or progression of coronary disease after a post coronary intervention. In any health promotion intervention, evaluation of outcomes becomes an integral component as it places the implementer at a vantage ...

Media Consumption and Materialism/Consumerism

Humans consume a myriad of products and resources that extend beyond their basic necessities to include technological innovations and luxuries aimed at improving efficiency and quality of life. Throughout history, consumption beyond basic needs has served as a method of boosting human happiness. Hence, excessive consumption does not necessarily pose harm to human life (Shah). Increasingly, however, important issues regarding media consumption and materialism have emerged in recent decades. As such, this study examines the neuroscience of human emotions, the use of recreational substances, and the ...

Charles Yale Harrison was a soldier in WWI and his book Generals Die in Bed is a reflection of his war experience. He dedicated his book to the Canadian, Australian and German soldier that died in the woods near Amiens in 1918.

But certain reasons can be speculated that fit well with Harrison’s writing. Harrison hated war and realized that soldiers are mere pawns in wars that do not even understand ...

The habit of tobacco use has been proven to be a leading cause of premature deaths in the United States. Additionally, factors associated with exposures related to environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) have been the leading causes of increasing mortality and morbidity levels in the country and at the global scale. To this effect, therefore, there is the need for having in place policy issues that will effectively address tobacco use amongst children and adolescents, reduce the smoking rates amongst adults and finally prevent non-smokers from being exposed to ETS (World Health Organization, 2013). As it has been established, most ...

Increased live birth delivery of women with natal drinking or smoking: A nursing critique

Abstract Prenatal smoking and alcoholic drinking are for its serious health risks during and after live delivery. Amidst the ethical question on this maternal choice, a contention insists that alcohol and tobacco non-use prenatal and at natal has increased. Doubts on its validity were noted. My hypothesis: the observation came too early both in the national English and the global contexts. The contention was hard to sustain. The diverse factors affecting global decision making work against that contention. Both the American and English data failed to support that contention on the strong reality of the incomplete and potentially unsound ...

Government revenue is, to a greater percentage, connected to cigarette sales. Tobacco forms a larger part of revenue for huge transnational industries, which results to external factors having a strong influence ...

GENERAL INFORMATION ON DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT

Objective of dental implants After losing teeth, the supporting bone segment is no longer essential and begins to gradually disappear (Misch, 2008). Once this begins, the missing portions can be replaced with removable dentures or fixed bridges; this process enhances visual appeal, corrects speech impediments and improves mastication. However, complications can occur when replacing living tissues with artificial apparatuses. Dentures have been shown to decrease the efficiency of the chewing process, initiate additional bone loss and often experience inadequate retention (Knowles, 1958). Furthermore, dentures may require additional support, which affects the healthy teeth that are ...

Presentation of Problem

Smoking is a major concern in WSU. Currently, the institution’s smoking area is emitting so much smoke in the environment that in turn induces non-smokers to passive smoking (WSU, 2016).

Just like active smoking, passive smoking can have far-reaching consequences on the non-smoker’s health. For instance, both the smokers and non-smokers in the university are likely to be diagnosed with smoking-related illnesses such as lung cancer, ...
