The technological advances of the past century tended tochange the focus of medicine from a caring, service-oriented model to a technological, cure-oriented model.
Technology has led to phenomenal advances in medicine and
has given us the ability to prolong life. However, in the past few
decades physicians have attempted to balance their care by re-
claiming medicine’s more spiritual roots, recognizing that until
modern times spirituality was often linked with health care.
Spiritual or compassionate care involves serving the whole per-
son—the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual. Such service
is inherently a spiritual activity. Rachel Naomi Remen, MD, who
has developed Commonweal retreats for people with cancer, de-
scribed it well:
Helping, fixing, and serving represent three different ways of see-
ing life. When you help, you see life as weak. When you fix, you
see life as broken. When you serve, you see life as whole. Fixing
and helping may be the work of the ego, and service the work of
the soul (1).
Serving patients may involve spending time with them, hold-
ing their hands, and talking about what is important to them.
Patients value these experiences with their physicians. In this
article, I discuss elements of compassionate care, review some
research on the role of spirituality in health care, highlight ad-
vantages of understanding patients’ spirituality, explain ways to
practice spiritual care, and summarize some national efforts to
incorporate spirituality into medicine.
COMPASSIONATE CARE: HELPING PATIENTS FIND MEANING IN
THEIR SUFFERING AND ADDRESSING THEIR SPIRITUALITY
The word compassion means “to suffer with.” Compassionate
care calls physicians to walk with people in the midst of their
pain, to be partners with patients rather than experts dictating
information to them.
Victor Frankl, a psychiatrist who wrote of his experiences in
a Nazi concentration camp, wrote: “Man is not destroyed by suf-
fering; he is destroyed by suffering without meaning” (2). One
of the challenges physicians face is to help people find meaning
and acceptance in the midst of suffering and chronic illness.
Medical ethicists have reminded us that religion and spiritual-
ity form the basis of meaning and purpose for many people (3).
At the same time, while patients struggle with the physical as-
pects of their disease, they have other pain as well: pain related
to mental and spiritual suffering, to an inability to engage the
deepest questions of life. Patients may be asking questions such

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Medical Technology Tackles New Health Care Demand - Research Report - March 2...pchutichetpong
M Capital Group (“MCG”) predicts that with, against, despite, and even without the global pandemic, the medical technology (MedTech) industry shows signs of continuous healthy growth, driven by smaller, faster, and cheaper devices, growing demand for home-based applications, technological innovation, strategic acquisitions, investments, and SPAC listings. MCG predicts that this should reflects itself in annual growth of over 6%, well beyond 2028.
According to Chris Mouchabhani, Managing Partner at M Capital Group, “Despite all economic scenarios that one may consider, beyond overall economic shocks, medical technology should remain one of the most promising and robust sectors over the short to medium term and well beyond 2028.”
There is a movement towards home-based care for the elderly, next generation scanning and MRI devices, wearable technology, artificial intelligence incorporation, and online connectivity. Experts also see a focus on predictive, preventive, personalized, participatory, and precision medicine, with rising levels of integration of home care and technological innovation.
The average cost of treatment has been rising across the board, creating additional financial burdens to governments, healthcare providers and insurance companies. According to MCG, cost-per-inpatient-stay in the United States alone rose on average annually by over 13% between 2014 to 2021, leading MedTech to focus research efforts on optimized medical equipment at lower price points, whilst emphasizing portability and ease of use. Namely, 46% of the 1,008 medical technology companies in the 2021 MedTech Innovator (“MTI”) database are focusing on prevention, wellness, detection, or diagnosis, signaling a clear push for preventive care to also tackle costs.
In addition, there has also been a lasting impact on consumer and medical demand for home care, supported by the pandemic. Lockdowns, closure of care facilities, and healthcare systems subjected to capacity pressure, accelerated demand away from traditional inpatient care. Now, outpatient care solutions are driving industry production, with nearly 70% of recent diagnostics start-up companies producing products in areas such as ambulatory clinics, at-home care, and self-administered diagnostics.

“The most beloved people to Allah are those
who are most beneficial to the people.
The most beloved deed to Allah is
to make a Muslim happy,
or to remove one of his troubles,
or to forgive his debt,
or to feed his hunger.” — Prophet Muhammad
ﷺ

the world. Teach them to pray, read Qur’an with them, give
them all your attention. They’ll remember these times and
be grateful for them
33. Effect of kindness to children
Fricchione, chief of psychiatry at Massachusetts Hospital in Boston
Experience of being well cared in early childhood enhance the development of
"mirror neurons
He did a small study which looked at oxytocin levels in children's urine while they
interacted with their parents.
1,One group was composed of orphans who had spent the first 16 months of life in
overseas orphanages - neglected before being adopted by U.S. families.
2.The other group of kids had been raised in stable, caring homes during their earliest
years.
Fricchione says. "That nurturing may help develop the altruistic capacity.“
In one study, older adults who volunteered to give massage to infants had lowered
stress hormones.
34. Be kind to your elders
It is such a blessing to have grandparents.
Give them a visit to show you love and care about them. It will
mean the world to them!
“Whoever wishes that his provision be increased and his age
lengthened, let him maintain the ties of kinship.” — Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ
35. Long life when helping others with
love
One famous study examined personal essays written by nuns
in the 1930s. Researchers found that nuns who expressed the
most positive emotions were living about 10 years longer
than those who expressed the fewest such emotions.
Another large study found a 44% reduction in early death
among those who volunteered a lot -- a greater effect
than exercising four times a week, Post reports. By Decrease
stress response, and improved immunity
36.
37. Show your kindness to everyone
“Whoever is merciful even to a sparrow, Allah will be
merciful to him on the Day of Judgment.” — Prophet
Muhammad ﷺ
Pets decrease stress, improve heart
health, and even help children with their
emotional and social skills
38. "If altruistic behavior plugs into that
reward circuitry, it will have the
reinforcement mechanism ,
Dopamine, endorphins, morphine-
it
Release of 'feel-good' chemicals
BRAIN'S REWARD CIRCUITRY
39. KINDNESS LEADS TO BETTER PSYCHOLOGICAL HEALTH
Stress: ‘Kind’ people statistically have 23% less cortisol (stress
hormone) in their body and tend to age slower than the general
population
Serotonin levels: Doing kind things for others releases Serotonin.
This is the same hormone that is released by anti-depressants, The
feel-good hormone will calm you down and make you feel much
happier!
Anxiety: One study took a group of highly anxious people and got
them to perform at least 6 acts of kindness per week. A month after
the study, the participants were shown to have an increase in
positive moods, relationship satisfaction and a decrease in social
avoidance!
40. Visit a sick Muslim.
There is no Muslim who visits a
sick Muslim early in the morning
but 70 thousand angels send
blessings upon him until
evening comes, and if he visits
him in the evening, 70 thousand
angels send blessings upon him
until morning comes, and he will
have a garden in Paradise.” —
Prophet Muhammad
43. LOVE TO OTHER LEADS TO INCREASE LOVE HORMONE IN YOUR
BLOOD IN Y
Good deeds encourages the release of oxytocin, which is also known as
the ‘love hormone’. Oxytocin can lower our blood pressure and improve
the health of our heart.
It also increases self-esteem and confidence!
The Healing and bonding Hormone
Says Fricchione. "Oxytocin is the mediator of what has been called
the 'tend-mend' response, as opposed to the 'fight-flight' response
to stress. When you're touching people in a positive way, a helping
hand, oxytocin level goes up - and that relieves your own stress."
44. Helping others VOLUNTEERLY
leads to pain relief
In one experiment, volunteers who gave blood following an
earthquake were found to experience less pain than those who did
it as part of a routine test, despite a larger needle being used for
the volunteers, .
In a second experiment, cancer patients’ chronic pain was found
to be much more significantly reduced when they cooked and
cleaned for others at their treatment center, compared to when
they cooked and cleaned only for themselves.
A third experiment found that participants felt less pain when
their hands were given an electric shock — if they first gave money
to help orphans.
MRI scans of patients’ brains found that an act of
perceived kindness had an instant, deactivating
impact on the portion of the brain that registers painful
stimulation — the medial prefrontal cortex.
45. Benefits of being honest
• Higher quality friends. ...Trust. .. Confidence. .
WELLNESS ; Less colds, less fatigue, less depression, anxiety, stress
• – Dishonesty needs to be maintained
46. Give gift to friends/ family
Write a letter to someone
who has made a
difference in your life,
Share your knowledges
Help them
Recite for them
47. Giving a gift is a universal way to show interest,
appreciation, and gratitude, as well as strengthen
bonds “There is the whole act — determining what
needs to be given and making sure it fits with the
person,” says Devin A. associate professor and chair of
the Department of Behavioral Sciences. “There is an
emotional lift when searching for the gift.”
gift-giving is also an act of— unselfish concern for the
others. When we give without expecting anything in
return, we are improving our psychological health
54. Ten benefits of being patient
Peace of mind

55. Science of forgiving
Psychologically, when people reported
higher levels of forgiveness, they also
tended to report
better health habits
decreased depression, anxiety, and
anger levels
more satisfied relationships and
children's perceptions of parenting
functioning.
Physiologically, higher reported levels of forgiveness were associated
with
lower white blood cell count and HIGH hematocrit levels.
56. Immunity booster
In A study, students were simply asked to watch a film of
Mother Teresa's work with the poor in Calcutta. They had
significant increases in protective antibodies associated with
improved immunity -- and antibody levels remained high for
an hour afterward.
Students who watched a more neutral film didn't have
changes in antibody levels. "Thus, 'dwelling on love'
strengthened the immune system," writes Post.
57.
58. Donate /charity
“Feed a fasting person. Whoever feeds the
person who is breaking his fast, he will have his
reward (for his fasting) without decreasing
anything from the reward of the fasting person.”
— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
Whoever guides [another] to a good deed will get
a reward similar to the one who performs it.” —
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
59. When you smile to your
brother’s face, it is charity.” —
Prophet Muhammad
