Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

chief complaints of :

9. OBJECTIVE
Difficulty in swallowing insidious & progressive when taking both
solid & liquid food
Not relieved by taking medication
ASSESSMENT
Based on the subjective and objective data the physician diagnosed
that the patient is suffering with CHRONIC TONSILLITIS
10. Tonsillitis is inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsils. The
inflammation usually extends to the adenoid and the
lingual tonsils. Therefore, the term pharyngitis may also
be used. Lingual tonsillitis refers to isolated
inflammation of the lymphoid tissue at the tongue base.
A "carrier state" is defined by a positive pharyngeal
culture of group A beta hemolytic Streptococcus
pyogenes(GABHS),without evidence of an
antistreptococcal immunologic response.
11.
12. Tonsillitis is most often caused by common viruses, but bacterial infections
can also be the cause.
The most common bacterium causing tonsillitis is Streptococcus pyogenes
(group A streptococcus), the bacterium that causes strep throat. Other
strains of strep and other bacteria also may cause tonsillitis.
Why do tonsils get infected?
The tonsils are the immune system's first line of defense against bacteria
and viruses that enter your mouth. This function may make the tonsils
particularly vulnerable to infection and inflammation
13.
14. A polymicrobial bacterial population is observed in most cases of
chronic tonsillitis, with alpha- and beta-hemolytic streptococcal species, S
aureus, H influenzae, and Bacteroides species having been identified.
A study that was based on bacteriology of the tonsillar surface and core in
30 children undergoing tonsillectomy suggested that antibiotics prescribed
6 months before surgery did not alter the tonsillar bacteriology at the time
of tonsillectomy. [4] A relationship between tonsillar size and chronic
bacterial tonsillitis is believed to exist.
15. This relationship is based on both the aerobic bacterial load and
the absolute number of B and T lymphocytes. H influenzae is the
bacterium most often isolated in hypertrophic tonsils and adenoids.
With regard to penicillin resistance or beta-lactamase production,
the microbiology of tonsils removed from patients with recurrent
GABHS pharyngitis has not been shown to be significantly
different from the microbiology oftonsilsremovedfrom patients with
tonsillar hypertrophy.
16. Local immunologic mechanisms are important in chronic
tonsillitis. The distribution of dendritic cells and antigen-presenting
cells is altered during disease, with fewer dendritic cells on the
surface epithelium and more in the crypts and extrafollicular areas.
Study of immunologic markers may permit differentiation
between recurrent and chronic tonsillitis.
Such markers in one study indicated that children more often
experience recurrent tonsillitis, whereas adults requiring
tonsillectomy more often experience chronic tonsillitis.
17. Tonsillitis most commonly affects children between preschool ages and the
mid-teenage years. Common signs and symptoms of tonsillitis include:
Red, swollen tonsils
White or yellow coating or patches on the tonsils
Sore throat
Difficult or painful swallowing
Fever
Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
18. Enlarged, tender glands (lymph nodes) in the neck
A scratchy, muffled or throaty voice
Bad breath
Stiff neck
Headache
Signs
Drooling due to difficult or painful swallowing
Refusal to eat
Unusual fussiness
19. Young age. Tonsillitis most often occurs in children, but rarely in those
younger than age 2. Tonsillitis caused by bacteria is most common in
children ages 5 to 15, while viral tonsillitis is more common in younger
children.
Frequent exposure to germs. School-age children are in close contact
with their peers and frequently exposed to viruses or bacteria that can
cause tonsillitis.
20. Inflammation or swelling of the tonsils from frequent or ongoing (chronic)
tonsillitis can cause complications such as:
Difficulty breathing
Disrupted breathing during sleep (obstructive sleep apnea)
Infection that spreads deep into surrounding tissue (tonsillar cellulitis)
Infection that results in a collection of pus behind a tonsil (peritonsillar
abscess)
21. Strep infection
If tonsillitis caused by group A streptococcus or another strain
of streptococcal bacteria isn't treated, or if antibiotic treatment is
incomplete, your child has an increased risk of rare disorders
such as:
Rheumatic fever:- An inflammatory disorder that affects the
heart, joints and other tissues
Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis:- An inflammatory
disorder of the kidneys that results in inadequate removal of
waste and excess fluids from blood
22. Your child's doctor will start with a physical exam that will include:
Using a lighted instrument to look at your child's throat and likely
his or her ears and nose, which may also be sites of infection
Checking for a rash known as scarlatina, which is associated with
some cases of strep throat
Gently feeling (palpating) your child's neck to check for swollen
glands (lymph nodes)
Listening to his or her breathing with a stethoscope
Checking for enlargement of the spleen (for consideration of
mononucleosis, which also inflames the tonsils)
Complete blood cell count (CBC)
Throat swab
23. Encourage rest Encourage your child to get plenty of sleep.
Provide adequate fluids Give your child plenty of water to keep his or
her throat moist and prevent dehydration.
Provide comforting foods and beverage Warm liquids broth,
caffeine-free tea or warm water with honey and cold treats like ice
pops can soothe a sore throat.
Prepare a saltwater gargle If your child can gargle, a saltwater gargle
of 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) of table salt to 8 ounces (237 milliliters) of
warm water can help soothe a sore throat. Have your child gargle the
solution and then spit it out.
24. Humidify the air Use a cool-air humidifier to eliminate dry air that may further
irritate a sore throat, or sit with your child for several minutes in a steamy
bathroom.
Offer lozenges Children older than age 4 can suck on lozenges to relieve a sore
throat.
Avoid irritants Keep your home free from cigarette smoke and cleaning
products that can irritate the throat.
Treat pain and fever Talk to your doctor about using ibuprofen (Advil,
Children's Motrin, others) or acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) to minimize
throat pain and control a fever. Low fevers without pain do not require
treatment.
25. Antibiotics
If tonsillitis is caused by a bacterial infection, your doctor will
prescribe a course of antibiotics. Penicillin taken by mouth for 10
days is the most common antibiotic treatment prescribed for
tonsillitis caused by group A streptococcus. If your child is allergic
to penicillin, your doctor will prescribe an alternative antibiotic.
Your child must take the full course of antibiotics as prescribed
even if the symptoms go away completely. Failure to take all of the
medication as directed may result in the infection worsening or
spreading to other parts of the body. Not completing the full course
of antibiotics can, in particular, increase your child's risk of
rheumatic fever and serious kidney inflammation.
26. Surgery to remove tonsils (tonsillectomy) may be used to treat
frequently recurring tonsillitis, chronic tonsillitis or bacterial
tonsillitis that doesn't respond to antibiotic treatment. Frequent
tonsillitis is generally defined as:
More than seven episodes in one year
More than four to five episodes a year in each of the preceding
two years
More than three episodes a year in each of the preceding three
years
A tonsillectomy may also be performed if tonsillitis results in
difficult-to-manage complications, such as:
27. Obstructive sleep apnea
Breathing difficulty
Swallowing difficulty, especially meats and other chunky foods
An abscess that doesn't improve with antibiotic treatment
Tonsillectomy is usually done as an outpatient procedure, unless
your child is very young, has a complex medical condition or if
complications arise during surgery. That means your child
should be able to go home the day of the surgery. A complete
recovery usually takes seven to 14 days.
