Abstract

There is a need for an organization to use evidence-based practice when providing healthcare services. Evidence-based practice helps the healthcare organization to identify the best practice for their patients. There are different types of errors that include surgical errors, medication errors and even practice errors. There are a number of factors that increase such errors which include sickness, overworking, illness, lack of caution and many other factors. The population that is more vulnerable to this error includes the older patient, and the very young ones, the patients in the ICU are also more prevalent. It is important for the Continue reading...

Iron Deficient Anemia

Iron Deficient Anemia

Background

Iron deficiency anemia is a decease caused by lack of iron in the organism due to balance failure between iron income, intake and loss. It is the most common type of anemia, as 80% of the anemia cases are attributed to iron deficiency (Bunn & Aster, 2011). Although the iron deficient anemia rarely causes death, its impact on human health is significant.
Despite of the fact that iron is a widespread element, iron deficiency is common for humans. Iron is a micronutrient constituent of the erythrocytes respiratory pigment, hemoglobin. Accordingly, the main cause of iron deficiency anemia Continue reading...

INTRODUCTION

In this modern world we are all aware of the plethora of diseases and conditions that human beings can develop, contract, and suffer from that carries a potentially terminal outcome. Humanity has come quite far in its ability to recognize and treat many conditions improving the prognosis and lessening the lethal factors associated. However, there are still many conditions that are a mystery in many ways to science and others that are completely understandable, but cannot be cured. Cancer is one such disease. Cancer is the term used for a single condition that can affect just about any part Continue reading...

Much as people aspire to stay healthy, there comes a time when they no longer have control over their health. Whether in maternal womb or during the conscious life, people can have their organism rendered susceptible to neuropsychiatric disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder characterized by the lack of concentration hyperactivity, and impulsivity that is hard to control if not impossible at times. Genetic transmission or adverse environment created by substance and alcohol abusing mothers, or the concentration of lead can prove conductive to ADHD development as much as brain traumas do. All of such can lead to depression, Continue reading...

Introduction:

National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) suggests that food allergies are caused due to adverse immune response by the body on exposure to certain food; this reaction is different from the adverse response to food due to food intolerance, pharmacologic reactions and other toxin-mediated reactions (Shekelle, P., M. Maglione, and M. Riedl., 2010). It results from a Th2-polarized immune response to environmental proteins called allergens. In 90% of the cases of food allergies, 170 food proteins called allergens, are responsible. Some of these are nuts, legumes, fruits, egg, milk, and seafood.Animal protein allergens are more common among Continue reading...

Introduction: Problem Statement

Anorexia nervosa is a serious mental illness common in teenage girls and young women (Korndorfer et al., 2003). More research has increasingly found the disorder in men as well (Arcelus et al., 2011). Extensive research has focused on the investigation of mortality rates in anorexia nervosa, and the rates of morbidity and mortality in patients with anorexia nervosa and other (related) eating disorders are believed to be high. However, the exact rates remain elusive. To show this, Korndorfer et al. (2003) note that reported standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) related to the mental disorder vary substantially between 0 to 17.8 Continue reading...

Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by severe, progressive inflammation of the peripheral joints, such as the small joints of the hand, the wrists, and the elbows, as well as the foot and ankle joints. Rheumatoid arthritis causes swelling, tenderness, stiffness, and pain in these joints. Over time, this chronic inflammation leads to destruction of the joint and the surrounding tissues and structures, as well as muscle weakness in the surrounding major muscle groups (Cooney et. al, 2011, p. 5). While the onset and progression of rheumatoid arthritis is generally gradual, individuals may experience flare-ups, during Continue reading...

Brief description of acute bronchitis (pathophysiology, epidemiology)

The purpose of this paper is describing pathophysiology, epidemiology and clinical representation of acute bronchitis. The paper is also aimed at reviewing the expected physical findings and history in patients. Acute bronchitis is a clinical condition involving reversible inflammation of the large airways of the lungs (bronchial tree). The key characteristic of which is cough without pneumonia (Blush, 2013.)
This disease affects all ages, gender and is seen in a full spectrum of demographics. According to Wenzel & Fowler, acute bronchitis involves about 10% of all adult population annually (2006.) It’s one of the most common reasons people address Continue reading...

Abstract

Sister Callista Roy’s adaptation model suggests that individuals and groups are systems interacting with and are integrated into their social and physical environment. Internal and external changes or occurrences referred to as inputs can pose threats to the system’s integrity or its ability to meet holistic needs. The effectiveness of responses or coping mechanisms known as outputs that may be physiologic or cognitive in nature determine the level of adaptation which can be integrated, compensatory, or compromised. The role of the nurse is to modify the inputs or outputs within the context of the nursing process to Continue reading...

Abstract:

This paper gives an overview of the illness of Roderick Usher and argues that Roderick Usher in The Fall of the House of Usher did have numerous psychological issues. This paper also looks deep into the signs and symptoms of Roderick Usher’s illness and makes an argument that Roderick’s craziness isn’t just something the narrator has made up in his mind. The main argument for this to be true is that there are many signs that point towards mental illness of Roderick Usher that show that he is suffering from psychological complexities.

Advances in technology should be used to improve patient care. In acute and chronic illness, biomedical monitoring of indicators such as pulmonary artery pressure in COPD, right ventricle pressure in right-sided heart failure, and pressure in an aneurysm sac can aid clinicians in detecting real-time changes that require modifications in the treatment plan where doing so ensures optimum patient outcomes. One recent technology is the monitor integrated with medical stent (MIMS) that permits the continuous measurement of pressure in the heart and blood vessels. Knowing what the technology is, its indications and contraindications, its application, and the expected outcomes Continue reading...

Overview of Cancer

Cancer is a multifactorial and very complex disease that affects various organ systems of the human body and afflicts millions of people worldwide. There are hundreds of specific cancer types and are usually grouped together by the tissue of origin. There is no single cause of cancer, although several risk factors may make a person more likely to develop this condition. Cancer may be caused by interplay among a multitude of exogenous carcinogens which may be physical, biological or chemical, and various endogenous biological processes within cells. Some characteristics of human cancers include rapid and unregulated cell proliferation, reduced Continue reading...

Abstract
This paper welcomes the cultural understanding of mental illness as it evidenced the vast differences in the conceptualizations of mental illnesses across cultures. It relates the varied perception, understanding and treatment of different mental illnesses from among the peoples and societies in western and non western world. The demarcation lies in the applications of the pervading concepts of western psychology and how it discredits the other acceptable and (might prove to be) more effective diagnosis and treatment of mental diseases. This paper emphasizes the need for a comprehensive mental health care or global health care perspective as it Continue reading...
