The Hospice Savannah Art Gallery displays soothing artwork to help palliative care patients and their families. The gallery sources contemporary pieces every two months that depict calm subjects like seascapes. A current exhibit features 25 watercolors by local artist Maureen Kerstein, who donates proceeds to Hospice Savannah. The coordinator says the artwork helps create a less institutional environment and also educates the community about hospice care. Families often connect with pieces they see while visiting loved ones at Hospice House.

Mummers' Plays are one of the oldest surviving features of the traditional English Christmas, tracing back over 1,000 years. The plays are loosely based on the legend of St. George and the dragon and depict the struggle between good and evil. The Winter Solstice, falling on or near December 21st, marks the first day of winter in the northern hemisphere and is one of the oldest winter celebrations worldwide. December customs have been incorporated into Christmas celebrations, and Advent beginning in early December is a time of preparation for the coming feast. Holy Innocents' Day on December 28th commemorates King Herod's massacre of infant boys in Bethlehem in an attempt to kill the infant Jesus.

Kauai is known as the "Garden Isle" due to its vast tropical plant life. Three of the five US national botanical gardens are located on the island, featuring indigenous and ancient vegetation. These include Limahuli Garden & Preserve, Allerton Garden, and McBryde Garden. Limahuli Garden features over 1,000 acres of gardens in the Limahuli Valley, while Allerton Garden has over 100 acres of oceanfront gardens. McBryde Garden focuses on endangered Hawaiian species and has research collections. Other notable gardens on Kauai are Smith's Tropical Paradise, Kukuiolono Park, and Na 'Aina Kai Botanical Gardens.
A Norwegian study aimed to increase students' scientific literacy and interest in science by having them participate in science projects. The study involved over 800 students who took part in science-focused projects from 2008 to 2010. Results showed that the students had an overall positive appreciation of the projects and that hands-on practical work in science lessons improved students' attitudes towards science. Participating in authentic learning experiences outside the classroom, like visiting research institutions, further motivated students to pursue scientific subjects in university.

Pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement usaNeha Kalal
This document provides an overview of pharmaceutical pricing and reimbursement in the United States. It discusses key demographics and economic factors, the major public and private healthcare programs, and how drug pricing and reimbursement works. The US healthcare system is complex, with prescription drugs constituting 12% of total spending. Major public programs include Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP, while private sources include employer and individual insurance plans. Pharmaceutical companies set prices freely, while payers determine reimbursement levels and use formularies, tiers, and cost-sharing to manage drug costs.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Paintings help soothe the souls of Hospice House patients and families

Richmond Hill artist Maureen Kerstein says she felt like she not only was helping herself, but others, too, when she mounted her current watercolor exhibit at the
Hospice Savannah Art Gallery.
quot;I wanted to have a huge show where I could show a lot of my work,quot; she says. quot;And it was nice that it benefited hospice. It
makes you feel like you are doing something good.quot;
Hospice Savannah opened its art gallery, located inside Hospice House at 1352 Eisenhower Drive, about seven years ago,
with the goal of providing soothing artwork for patients and their families at the palliative care facility, says art gallery
coordinator Beth Logan.
quot;It just helps (Hospice House) to be a much better place,quot; Logan says. quot;We are always striving to make it calm and more
home-like, and not so institutionalized.quot;
She says another goal was to help the community learn more about hospice.
quot;There were a lot of misconceptions about what Hospice House was about,quot; Logan says. quot;This
was a way we could invite the community to come in and see artwork, and take away some of the
myths they might have about visiting hospice.quot;
The gallery also benefits Hospice Savannah because the artists always donate a portion of exhibit
sales to the organization, Logan adds.

quot;We always get stuff that is going to tie in with the environment,quot; Logan says.
Kerstein's 25 paintings on exhibit are mostly seascapes, skyscapes and florals.
Kerstein, a member of the Georgia Watercolor Society who originally is from Michigan, describes the paintings as contemporary and
semi-abstract.
