How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

4. I. INTRODUCTION
A. Pneumonia is inflammation of the lung that is most often caused by
infection with bacteria, viruses, or other organisms. Occasionally, inhaled
chemicals that irritate the lungs can cause pneumonia. Healthy people can usually
fight off pneumonia infections. However, people who are sick, including those who
are recovering from the flu (influenza) or an upper respiratory illness, have a
weakened immune system. This makes it easier for bacteria to grow in their
lungs.When air is inhaled through the nose or mouth, it travels down the
trachea to the bronchus, where it first enters the lung. From the bronchus, air
goes through the bronchi, into the even smaller bronchioles and lastly into the
alveoli.
Disease Process Leading to Pneumonia
Pneumonia-causing agents reach the lungs through different routes:
In most cases, a person breathes in the infectious organism, which then
travels through the airways to the lungs.
Sometimes, the normally harmless bacteria in the mouth, or on items placed
in the mouth, can enter the lungs. This usually happens if the body's "gag
reflex," an extreme throat contraction that keeps substances out of the
lungs, is not working properly.
Infections can spread through the bloodstream from other organs to the
lungs.
However, in normal situations, the airways protect the lungs from substances that
can cause infection.
The nose filters out large particles.
If smaller particles pass through, sensors along the airway prompt a cough or
sneeze. This forces many particles back out of the body.
Tiny particles that reach the small tubes in the lungs (bronchioles) are
trapped in a thick, sticky substance called mucus. The mucus and particles are
pushed up and out of the lungs by tiny hair-like cells called cilia, which beat
like a drum. This action is called the "mucociliary escalator."
If bacteria or other infectious organisms manage to avoid the airway's
defenses, the body's immune system attacks them. Large white blood cells
called macrophages destroy the foreign particles.
Signs and Symptoms
Have a high fever
Have shaking chills
Have a cough with phlegm (a slimy substance), which doesn't improve or
worsens
Develop shortness of breath with normal daily activities
5. Have chest pain when you breathe or cough
Feel suddenly worse after a cold or the flu
People who have pneumonia may have other symptoms, including nausea (feeling
sick to the stomach), vomiting, and diarrhea.
Symptoms may vary in certain populations. Newborns and infants may not show
any signs of the infection. Or, they may vomit, have a fever and cough, or
appear restless, sick, or tired and without energy.
Older adults and people who have serious illnesses or weak immune systems may
have fewer and milder symptoms. They may even have a lower than normal
temperature. If they already have a lung disease, it may get worse. Older adults
who have pneumonia sometimes have sudden changes in mental awareness.
Complications of Pneumonia
Bacteremia (bak-ter-E-me-ah). This serious complication occurs if the
infection moves into your bloodstream. From there, it can quickly spread
to other organs, including your brain.
Lung abscesses. An abscess occurs if pus forms in a cavity in the lung. An
abscess usually is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes surgery or drainage
with a needle is needed to remove the pus.
Pleural effusion. Pneumonia may cause fluid to build up in the pleural
space. This is a very thin space between two layers of tissue that line the
lungs and the chest cavity. Pneumonia can cause the fluid to become
infected—a condition called empyema (em-pi-E-ma). If this happens, you
may need to have the fluid drained through a chest tube or removed with
surgery.
Management:
The treatment of pneumonia includes appropriate administration of the appropriate
antibiotic.
Management of Community Acquired Pneumonia includes blood cultures performed
quickly for identification of the casual pathogen and prompt administration of
antibiotics. Inpatients should be switched from intravenous to oral therapy when they
are hemodynamically stable, are improving clinically, are able to take medications/fluid by
mouth and have a normally functioning gastrointestinal tract. Hydration is necessary
part of therapy, because fever and tachypnea may result in insensible fluid losses.
Antipyretic may be used to treat headache and fever; antitussive medications may be
used for the associated cough. Warm, moist inhalations are helpful in relieving bronchial
irritation. Antihistamine may provide benefit with reducing sneezing and rhinorrhea.
Position patient with head on mid line, with slight flexion to provide patent,
unobstructed, airway, maximum lung excursion. Auscultate patient’s chest to monitor
for the presence of abnormal breath sounds. Provide chest and back clapping with
vibrationbecause chest physiotherapy facilitates the loosening of secretions. Bed rest is
also included for the management of pneumonia.

12. V. DIAGNOSTICS
A. Ideal
Chest X-ray
How the Test is Performed: The test is performed in a hospital radiology
department or in the health care provider's office by an x-ray technician. Two
views are usually taken: one in which the x-rays pass through the chest from
the back (posterior-anterior view), and one in which the x-rays pass through the
chest from one side to the other (lateralview). You stand in front of the
machine and must hold your breath when the x-ray is taken.
How to Prepare for the Test: Inform the health care provider if you are
pregnant.. You must wear a hospital gown and remove all jewelry.
Why the Test is Performed: if you have any of the following symptoms:
A persistent cough
Chest injury
Chest pain
Coughing up blood
Difficulty breathing
What Abnormal Results Mean; Abnormal results may be due to may things,
including the following.
In the lungs:
Collapsed lung
Collection of fluid around the lung
Lung cancer
Lung tumor
Malformation of the blood vessels
Pneumonia
Scarring of lung tissue
Tuberculosis
In the heart:
Problems with the size or shape of the heart determined
Problems with the position and shape of the large arteries
In the bones:
Fractures of ribs and spine
Osteoporosis
13. Blood Culture
How is it used?:Blood cultures are used to detect the presence
of bacteria or yeasts in the blood, to identify the microorganism(s) present, and
to guide treatment. Two or more blood cultures are typically ordered and
collected as consecutive samples. Often, acomplete blood count (CBC) is ordered
along with or prior to the blood culture to determine whether the person has
an increased number of white blood cells, indicating a potential infection.
A doctor may order blood cultures when a person is having symptoms of sepsis.
A person with sepsis may have:
Chills, fever Nausea
Rapid breathing, rapid heartbeat Confusion
Decreased urine output
What does the test result mean?:If blood cultures are positive, it most likely
means that the tested person has a bacterial or yeast bloodstream infection
that needs to be treated immediately, usually in a hospital. Sepsis can be life-
threatening, especially in immunocompromised patients.
Complete Blood Count
A complete blood count (CBC) is a series of tests used to evaluate the
composition and concentration of the cellular components of blood.
It measures the following:
The number of red blood cells (RBCs)
The number of white blood cells (WBCs)
The total amount of hemoglobin in the blood
The fraction of the blood composed of red blood cells (hematocrit)
The platelet count is also usually included in the CBC.
Purpose:
as a preoperative test to ensure both adequate oxygen carrying capacity and
hemostasis
to identify persons who may have an infection
to diagnose anemia
to identify acute and chronic illness, bleeding tendencies, and white blood cell
disorders such as leukemia
to monitor treatment for anemia and other blood diseases
to determine the effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy on blood cell

15. VI. ANATOMY OF THE SYSTEM INVOLVED
The lungs constitute the largest organ in the respiratory system. They play an
important role in respiration, or the process of providing the body with oxygen
and releasing carbon dioxide. The lungs expand and contract up to 20 times per
minute taking in and disposing of those gases.Air that is breathed in is filled
with oxygen and goes to the trachea, which branches off into one of two
bronchi. Each bronchus enters a lung. There are two lungs, one on each side of
the breastbone and protected by the ribs. Each lung is made up of lobes, or
sections. There are three lobes in the right lung and two lobes in the left one.
The lungs are cone shaped and made of elastic, spongy tissue. Within the lungs,
the bronchi branch out into minute pathways that go through the lung tissue.
The pathways are called bronchioles, and they end at microscopic air sacs called
alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillaries and provide oxygen for the blood
in these vessels. The oxygenated blood is then pumped by the heart throughout
the body. The alveoli also take in carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled from the
body.Inhaling is due to contractions of the diaphragm and of muscles between
the ribs. Exhaling results from relaxation of those muscles. Each lung is
surrounded by a two-layered membrane, or the pleura, that under normal
circumstances has a very, very small amount of fluid between the layers. The
fluid allows the membranes to easily slide over each other during breathing.
Complications of Pneumonia
Bacteremia (bak-ter-E-me-ah). This serious complication occurs if the infection
moves into your bloodstream. From there, it can quickly spread to other organs,
including your brain.
Lung abscesses. An abscess occurs if pus forms in a cavity in the lung. An abscess
usually is treated with antibiotics. Sometimes surgery or drainage with a needle
is needed to remove the pus.
Pleural effusion. Pneumonia may cause fluid to build up in the pleural space. This
is a very thin space between two layers of tissue that line the lungs and the
chest cavity. Pneumonia can cause the fluid to become infected—a condition
called empyema (em-pi-E-ma). If this happens, you may need to have the fluid
drained through a chest tube or removed with surgery.
