Article 1

The Harvard business Review, greatly discusses some of the ways in which business organizations many improve their business ethics. Further, the article discusses some of the reason why business organizations tend to act unethically. In the modern world, some of the obstacles that directly influence the ability to act ethically are such as cross- culture differences. Other obstacles are such as incentives as well as pressure to greatly inflate the organization’s target and achievements (McKee). While establishing rules and ethics training in business organizations may help in acting ethically. They however, do not particularly help when business organizations ...

Introduction

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the primary factor that increases the risk of the cervical cancer development and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) in the uterine cervix (Soderlund-Strand et al., 2014). Approximately 150 diverse types of HPV have been discovered, and most of them are carcinogenic. Persistent infections of high-risk HPV must lead to the development of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN 2 and 3), and ...

ADHD is a behavioral disorder that exhibits a severe long-term effect on victims. The condition poses, even more, grave consequences on the health of females than males. Therefore, given that it can progress unnoticed during childhood, there is the need to conduct a thorough assessment to enable accurate diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made using the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. An in-depth exploration of all the possible treatment recommendations begins after the diagnosis. In the treatment of DHD detected in the patient in the case study, various approaches can be considered. Usually, the treatment of ...

Health care has always been a basic human need and a part of the heritage of people. As a result, health care can be considered as a product of the collective efforts of the previous generations. Moreover, taking into account the fact that every human being represents the human race, he or she has an undeniable claim upon medical aid. However, despite the fact that providing health care is the state’s obligation, its fulfillment encounters numerous problems in the US. American health care has gone through significant historical changes that have led to the recognition of the health ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

One often hears about human rights especially today after the record setting Women’s March but animals deserve rights to for they also have feelings and interests. According to Animal Ethics, an interest is normally defined as “what is beneficial to someonepromotes what is good for anyone whose life can go well or ill” (2017). In other words, animals do have interests for they perform in ways that ensure their survival such as gathering food or hibernating in the winter. In this sense they are not so different from humans thus instead of treating them like objects, they should ...

Immunotherapy in Treating Human Cancer

The immune system of our body is a complex network of tissues, cells, and organs that act mutually to protect our body from unknown foreign trespassers. It recognizes the harmful particles entering the body and facilitates the destruction of those particles in order to shield the body system from any ailment. Due to any complexity or disturbance often the immune system targets the wrong particle considering it as a dangerous particle and this anomaly of the immune system may result in various autoimmune diseases like arthritis, allergies, malignancies, and AIDS (Understanding the ...

Domestic violence has been documented to be linked to depression. Women who have experienced domestic violence from their partners are likely to suffer from depression and other mental conditions (Bhattacharya, Shen and Sambamoorthi, 2014). Working in the ED, I encountered a female patient who had suffered from domestic violence from her husband while she had her three children. Because of the ordeal, the woman exhibited signs of depression also including difficulty in sleeping and insomnia, anxiety, difficulty in concentration, headaches, loss of appetite and weight, back pains and gastrointestinal problems. These symptoms are typical for depression. According to Bhattacharya, ...

The limitations of the physician in actively engaging in transitional medical care has also been emphasized, in order to establish that it is the Transitional Nurse who is in a unique position to act as a bridge between the physician, the patient as well as the patient’s ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

Introduction

A recent report of the International Longevity Center-UK (ILC-UK) indicated that dementia can no longer be viewed as an isolated disorder due to a high prevalence of medical comorbidities, often undiagnosed, associated with it (Scrutton & Brancati, 2016). Patients with dementia also had received a less coordinated comorbidity treatments, resulting to the faster decline of their daily functioning, a reduction in their quality of life (QOL), and earlier mortality events than patients with these comorbidities, but in the absence of dementia. The report also noted other important findings, which exacerbated the need for better therapeutic options in dealing with dementia, ...

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

Abstract

The topic of body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) among adolescents is well documented, and so is the peer conformity in relation to teenagers’ decision making process. However, there are solely secondary references to how peer conformity influence decision making process among adolescence diagnosed with BDD, which is why, the aim of the proposed research is to investigate this relationship.

The methods section describes the research methodology, the focus group, the descriptive research design, also presenting information about ...

Chapter One: Introduction to Pre-Eclampsia Study

Chapter One: Introduction to Pre-Eclampsia Study As one of the leading global causes of maternal mortality, pre-eclampsia and related conditions have a remarkably wide impact (Sibai, Dekker & Kupferminc, 2005; Ghulmiyyah & Sibai, 2012). Diseases like pre-eclampsia can strike women of any age and with any socioeconomic background. The issues associated with pre-eclampsia are global, but there are certain populations that are more heavily impacted than others—and these populations are the ones that require investigation (Sibai, Dekker & Kupferminc, 2005). Pre-eclampsia is a condition that is associated with high maternal blood pressure and protein in maternal urine, but it is a ...

Behavioral interventions can be grouped as either antecedent-based interventions (ABI) or consequence-based interventions (CBI). CBI is a group of practices in which the problem behaviors are addressed by manipulating the reinforcement or punishment stimuli following an observed behavior, whereas ABI refers to a group of behavioral interventions that are concerned with the modification of environmental factors that are believed to precede problem behaviors (Tullis, Cannella-Malone, & Payne, 2015). Therefore, ABI strategies are implemented before the problem behavior occurs, so their unique quality is the possibility of problem behavior prevention, which makes the behavioral change easier to maintain compared to results ...

Mood disorder and substance abuse have a close relationship. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (2008), over 30 percent of those with mood disorder in the United States also have substance abuse disorder. As a therapist, it is never easy to identify and distinguish between those abusing substances as a self-medication towards mood disorder from those who suffer from the disorder as a result of drug abuse. According to the Nation Health Research, self-medication is common among most of the substance abusers (Harris et al. 2005). Theoretically, those who use substance abuse such as marijuana and alcohol ...

As such, she does not hold job positions for long. This instability in moods, functioning, and self-image coupled with unstable relationships and ...

PART 1a

My knowledge on mental health was limited prior to NSB023. I think these unfounded and biased preconceptions were based primarily on my racial and familial background, which seems to delineate persons with mental health issues unfairly, which are based primarily on what we see or read in the mass media. However, my firsthand experiences with mental health, in the course of completing NSB023, have broadened my understanding on this problem. I have come to realize that mental health issues are not necessarily due to an individual’s psychological ineptitude in dealing with conflicts or the reality, but may also ...

Physical and clinical profiles indicate a comorbidity between heart failure (HF) and DM2. Laboratory and imaging findings were not indicated, while diagnosis was based on the NYHA Classification guidelines. A review of literature revealed three crucial weaknesses in the diagnosis. ...

Preventive health care is the provision of preventive services with the aim of identifying probable health risks and chronic ailments while at the onset phase. The basic preventive services include prescriptions, physical exams, screening, immunizations, and lab tests. The Affordable Care Act has standards which help gauge if individuals and their families qualify for free preventive services. This subject has become a subject of great debate especially following the ongoing presidential campaigns. The aspirants, particularly Hillary Clinton, are determined to reduce the escalating health costs through preventive health care (Cohen, Neumann, & Weinstein, 2008). According to researchers, preventive and primary ...

Question 1:

Several legal and ethical principles influence the workforce in healthcare organizations, particularly in light of employees belonging to diverse cultural backgrounds coming together for achieving common organizational goals. Towards managing employees in a huge healthcare setting it would be effective for HR functionaries to understand the legal relationships existing between the organization and employees in the first place. Most importantly, healthcare organizations that employ diverse employees must clearly define ethical behavior patterns of employees among each other and with the patients and their family members. Ethical behavior with employees belonging to another culture calls for not only treating each ...

The debate on whether minors should be held in the same stature as adults for equal crimes is one that has been raging on for a long period. The debate is occasioned by the enticing argument that any form of societal and criminal misconduct should always be tackled by undertaking tougher punishments on offenders regardless of age. However, applying the same metric of punishment to juveniles as adults is not the solution. It is especially the case considering that research indicates that minors that receive adult sentences become more likely repeat offenders as opposed to those that go through ...

Introduction

Globally, clean air is a critical resource for the general public health while a clean environment is one of the essential elements required for the establishment of sustainable societies. Human beings breathe the air around them and thus air pollution or any pollution manifested in any other form to the environment directly affects their overall health and wellbeing. This has the implication that public authorities at international, national and local levels have the responsibility of protecting the quality of the air through development of regulations that regulate the use of products and materials that have the potential of causing ...

In the first place, telehealth services increase the access of the general public to various health care facilities. For instance, on introducing the remote healthcare services in my organization, rural people can easily obtain specialty care in various departments. Particularly, women with small children need not come all the way to the hospital by travelling long distances (Werner, 2012). In light of our organization’s strategic location amid several originating sites inhabited by medicare beneficiaries, we look forward to doing sizeable telehealth services. Cardiovascular and trauma care we currently specialize in can save lives of many patients who have ...

Both interviews were conducted in a person to person interviews, and the interviewees were selected through personal association and word of mouth. There is a difference in how LCSW and clinical psychologists conduct their treatment, which might be credited to variations in their training ...

It is impossible to separate health care from religion. Throughout history, coexistence has been underscored by the permeation of both into each other's domains. From setting up hospitals to treatment regimens, these two aspects of society go hand in hand. However, there exist fundamental conflicts within these spheres that affect the life of the patient in one way or the other. This manuscript attempts to demystify this relationship and thereby give the healthcare professional a basis for understanding and implementing practice guidelines that cater for Christian or Buddhist patient.

The Christian View

The Christian worldview is a framework that examines life as ...

Abstract

People today are exposed to highly stressful life situations. This challenging scenario raises potential threats to their physical and mental health. Psychological practitioners indicate that increased life stress accounts for a significant percent of mental health problems in the United States. The aim of this paper is to explore different aspects of trauma and stressor related disorders such as Acute Stress Disorder (ASD) and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Although both these disorders have almost similar characteristics, the duration of impacts is different for ASD and PTSD. In a statistical study, it appears that the incidence rate of ASD and ...

[Author Name] [Author Affiliation] [Author’s notes with more information about affiliations, financial obligations, conflicts of interest and how to contact] It has been estimated that 26 million Americans suffer from asthma symptoms, attributing to the majority of work- and school-related absences across the country (ACAAI, 2014). The American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology defines asthma as, “a chronic lung disease that inflames and narrows the airways in the lungs” (ACAAI, 20014). This causes difficulty in breathing, termed asthma, and may lead to life-threatening consequences. The lungs allow air in and out by a network of airways, called ...

Overview

The significant outcome related to the over prescription of antibiotics by the physicians attributes to the pattern of antimicrobial resistance that develops inside the patients who consume extra doses or combination of antibiotics for treating their sore throat manifestation . The antibiotics resistance across the patient population is effectively determined by the measurement of their minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) through laboratory analysis . The configuration of dilution solution of antibiotics stock and interpretation of the MIC findings through the analysis of bacterial growth over agar plates provides an insight regarding the MIC of antibiotics and the corresponding resistance of the developed ...

Abstract

There are several heart illnesses which cause a large number of deaths from stroke, coronary artery disease, aortic and peripheral illnesses. The treatment of the illnesses requires a huge amount of funds and time. Therefore, there is the need to improvise or innovate new ways to prevent or detect it on earlier. The sophisticated mechanism needs to be put in place to analyze medical data to give signs of the illness through the application of analytic algorithms to provide definite signs.

Introduction

Globally, an alarming increased rate of diabetes diagnosis has been reported with over 380 million diabetic cases reported in 2015. Diabetes has been found to cause death, stroke, amputations, or kidney failure. The increased rate of this global epidemic has been fueled by urbanization and lifestyle. It is projected that by 2030, over 600 million people will be suffering from diabetes (Henderson & Barry, 2014). Based on the findings of the American Diabetes Association that examined the cost of diabetes treatment released in 2013, an estimated total cost of the diagnosed diabetes rose to $245 billion in 2012 compared to $ ...

(Author Name) (Course Name/Number) The application of best treatment practices is essentially the staple of the social service profession and it is through evidence-based research that social scientists continue to improve the quality of treatment for underserved populations. As individuals and societies present with new and worsening problems, the study of cause-effect and possible solutions becomes an even more interdisciplinary study, involving not only the involvement of research in a theoretical framework, but also dependent largely on the data collected by social work professionals who utilize these theories in application on a daily basis. Because psychology and sociology are ...

Introduction

Business

This paper will provide a reflection of my experience at Hemlock Tax, outlining the different organizational aspects of the company. My job in data entry has enabled to realize and appreciate the primary goal of Hemlock. Since its establishment in 1997, the goal of the company has been to provide high-quality services to its clients. Hemlock has two main strengths: availability of a highly-skilled workforce with varied skillsets in public accounting and a relatively small operating expense which constitutes high-profit margins. The company’s main weakness comes from the highly seasonal nature of its business. Since tax time is ...

Introduction

Various studies throughout the world have shown that workplace hostility has negative effects on the people who are connected to it, in this case, patients and their connections towards nurses. These studies have raised concerns regarding the behavior of nurses towards their patients and the long term damages that patients have to face throughout the tenure of their treatment . Through research, it has been concluded, that if nurses are being subjected to various forms of harassment, threats to harm, physical assault, abuse or any sort of negativity, it reflects in their behavior towards their patients, who are on the ...

Opening Statements:

Pre-eclampsia is a condition that affects a significant percentage of mothers, and accounts for mother death during childbirth anywhere from fifteen to twenty percent of the time—pre-eclampsia is one of the most significant and important causes of maternal death during childbirth to this day (Sibai, Dekker & Kupferminc, 2005; Ghulmiyyah & Sibai, 2012). As such, it is immensely important to develop strategies to deal with the problem of pre-eclampsia, but it is also essentially important to develop strategies for dealing with education and prevention of the condition (Villar et al., 2003). There are a number of common conditions that are ...

Executive summary

In this regard, this paper represents an executive summary of quality improvement program “fall prevention”, intended to reduce the number of ...

According to Mental Health Blog (2016), a patient with undifferentiated schizophrenia shows the main symptoms that all other schizophrenics’ exhibit although it is always hard to classify this type of schizophrenia. This individual cannot be classified into any schizophrenia because he or she cannot be considered a possible fit for the other schizophrenic types. A nurse, therefore, should prepare and teach his patient on the best way to use medication. Patients who have undifferentiated schizophrenia should be treated using a selected number of drugs for a longer period to ensure that they get better. Patients should also be shown ...

Introduction

Over the past couple of decades, poverty prevention advocates have become aware that it takes more than just emergency services to alleviate poverty. While such sources of aid as rent assistance, food stamps, food bank provisions, utility assistance and the like can help a family subsist from one month to the next, they do not help families escape the poverty cycle and move up to a better standard of living. As Hutson (2004) noted, “social service providers have increasingly recognized that families seeking assistance often face multiple, complex needs and that they require the services of more than one ...

Abstract

The literature defines hypertension as a medical condition experienced when the systolic blood pressure (BP) is equal or greater than 140 mm Hg or when the diastolic blood pressure is equal or greater than 90 mm Hg. Additionally, it offers a description of systematic, cellular, as well as molecular causes of hypertension. High blood pressure within the arteries is referred to as systemic hypertension (SH). The primary role of the systemic arteries is the transportation of oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues of the body. The constriction of the arterioles (small arteries) is responsible for the high ...

Abstract

In 2009, the US government slashed Medicare reimbursements pushing over two-thirds of health care providers into losses. Medicare reimbursements are expected to increase in the future albeit more slowly than the rise in the cost of providing quality health care. The challenge for BSA is to be able to align its costs in a way that they are able to deliver quality health care at a much lower cost. The key is to measure both the cost and the outcomes of the health care. There is need to establish an accurate system of measuring costs, as well as to ...

Violence and Diversity Cultural Basics

The diversity of culture may bring confusion and conflicts in some situations. Also, some individuals may end up in wrong judgments and fail to help the victims of domestic violence due to cultural misunderstanding. According to Bettinger et al. (2011), the violence against some gender is a culture, particularly among the Muslims, who believes that men have a patriarchal power that places them above females. Therefore, to help a female Muslim in a case of domestic violence is a big challenge since she may be stuck too much to culture to the extent of not disclosing information that would ...

The activity of AMPK supports the normal function of the endothelial barrier (Xing, Wang, Coughlan, Viollet, Moriasi, & Zou, 2013), while on the other hand, the exposure of LPS ensures that there is inhibition of AMPK, thus accentuating lung injury and endothelial barrier dysfunction (Kratzer et al., 2012). It is a fact that LPS increases the permeability of the endothelium, which occurs once there is a decrease in the AMPK activity. This is consistent with the fact that the activation of AMPK activator, AICAR, emphasizes LP, once it is applied in vitro to test the hyper endothelial permeability. Experiments done ...

Introduction: Domestic violence: profile of an offender

In the past, an act of domestic violence was not considered as a matter that merits the engagement of the law. Though men have pummeled, maltreated, and molested their intimate partners for years, the common comprehension of society was that abuse and maltreatment of women was as a part of the marriage. It was only to the end of the 1970s that domestic violence was understood as a criminal offense that warranted the involvement of the criminal justice system. However, there has been much contention as to the establishment of a general, universally accepted ...
