Ethical Hazards of Modern, Advanced Medical Technology in Promoting Euthanasi...Mohammad Manzoor Malik
Proponents of active euthanasia argue that in cases where the modern, advanced
medical technology has prolonged death of many miserable terminally ill patients,
active euthanasia can put end to their suffering; hence active euthanasia should be
permissible. Against this line of thought, the researcher argues that much of the
suffering which terminally ill patients go through occurs because of the
misapplication of the advanced medical technology. Therefore, mishandled,
mistreated, or over-treated patients become alleged subjects of debate on active
euthanasia. It may be argued that consensus on permitting active euthanasia has
remained so far impossible because of ethical, cultural, and religious reasons, yet
there is possibility of attaining consensus on the appropriate use and employment
of advanced medical technology. This research argues that to avoid any legal and
moral risks which may emerge from the inappropriate employment of the advanced
medical technology to terminally ill patients, it is important to make the very
initiation of advanced medical treatment in regard to the terminally ill patients
subject to moral and legal analysis. This paper has basically two arguments: moral
and preventive law arguments, and their links with Islamic perspective, leading
eventually, to the Islamic perspective on the issue so as to suggest an ethically
sound and rationally valid alternative.

7 Mistakes Every Startup Should Avoid To Protect Intellectual PropertySeth Northrop
Startups are justifiably focused on developing the next big idea, getting that idea to market and ensuring the company has enough financial runway to make it all happen. Missteps in protecting the startup’s intellectual property, however, can be devastating when it comes time to translate the company’s growth efforts into future investment. What are 7 of the most damaging missteps a company can take when it comes to protecting its IP? Seth Northrop, a principal in the intellectual property and technology group of Robins Kaplan, discusses each mistake ranging from crowdfunding to patenting to trade secrets to IP strategy.
On Wednesday April 29th we went to the college in Marshalltown to present in front of three judges. My project was with Melanie and we did what we called "Splatter Box". We took old shoe boxes provided by Mrs. Hammers and wrapped rubber bands around them, not before sliding blank pieces of paper into them. When we went to the preschool two weeks ago to do the project, the girls loved it and wanted to keep doing it but the boys did enough. Two days ago was the college visit and we presented them, to our surprise we got 9th overall out of 25 (I believe). Attached is our presentation.

Long-term care (LTC) goes beyond medical care to include
all the assistance you could need if you ever have a chronic
illness or disability that leaves you unable to care for yourself
for an extended period of time (longer than 90 days). While
older people generally require the most long-term care services,
40% of long-term care claims are paid to someone under the
age of 64.* A young or middle aged person who has suffered a
debilitating illness or accident may also require care.

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

The dimensions of healthcare quality refer to various attributes or aspects that define the standard of healthcare services. These dimensions are used to evaluate, measure, and improve the quality of care provided to patients. A comprehensive understanding of these dimensions ensures that healthcare systems can address various aspects of patient care effectively and holistically. Dimensions of Healthcare Quality and Performance of care include the following; Appropriateness, Availability, Competence, Continuity, Effectiveness, Efficiency, Efficacy, Prevention, Respect and Care, Safety as well as Timeliness.
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image
