Life is filled with difficult situations, hectic schedules and stress. Here are a few steps that can help you think clearly and gain peace during stressful situations. Let MaidPro take something off your to-do list.
Stress is one of the most important topics to talk about. The American Institute of Stress says that 33% of people report feeling extreme stress and 73% of people have stress that impacts their mental health. Also, have a look at our other PPT on Stress Management and Symptoms.
The term stress was introduced in medicine in 1949 by Canadian endocrinologist – Hans Selye. To him, stress is described as the body’s adjustment to a new circumstance, and the body’s stereotypical and non-specific response to environmental stimuli that disrupt a personal balance, and described also as a psychosomatic mechanism to regulate and balance the tensions, which means the perception and preparation of the body to the specific loads.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
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.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

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

4. Focus on Stress – Don’t Ignore it!
To change our stress and how we respond to it, we must
acknowledge and understand it
Take a min to consider how (or if) you manage stress now. Do
you…
Power through
Stick your head in the sand
Procrastinate (move on to something less stressful and avoid the actual current
problem?)
Overwork, smoke, OVER EAT, drink alcohol to excess, isolate yourself, or take out
frustration on others?
The above behaviors tend to make the stress worse.
Do you pause and take a few deep breaths? If not, we’ll practice
this today.
5. Explore Your Stresses
Many kinds of stresses…some stresses are universal such as the lossof a
loved one or a birth of child.
Physical Stress
Fatigue and sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, lack of physical
activity, illness, pain, and others.
Can leave you more susceptible to stress from other sources.
Emotional Stress and Depression
Boredom, loneliness, anger, frustration, happiness, depression, etc.
Emotions provide information so practice noticing what you’re
feeling without judging it.
6. Explore Your Stresses
Stressful Thinking
How you think about stress and how you react to it can actually increase the
stress.
Stress can be a result from your perception and interpretation of life’s
events.
Examples: Speaking in public - for one person, could cause a pounding
heart, dry throat, and inability to utter a word. To a different person, it is an
exciting opportunity to get one’s views across.
Thoughts that can increase stress include:
“I feel like everything is out of control!”
“I have to get this perfect.”
“I can do it all, have it all, and be it all!”
7. Accept the Stress…So you can manage it!
When you accept the stress you can’t control you can choose how you react to the stresses you
CAN control
The demands in life for our energy and time can lead to unrealistic expectations and a sense of
urgency
Leads to more stress
Setting boundaries for ourselves and with others can help and takes practice
Everyone has stresses, strengths and limitations
At times, we may need to be reminded to use self-compassion about what we do well.
A more realistic response to stress: “I’m feeling overwhelmed and tense. I can’t do
everything on my to do list; no one could, but I’m doing my best-and that will have to be
good enough for now.”
It’s like imagining yourself at the center of the tornado; you are calm and centered while
everything whirls around you.
8. What is Your Stress Response
Does Stress Causes Changes in Your Routine?
Food Choices: Eat stress foods for comfort
Schedule: Change your meal schedule (skip meals,
mindless snacking, eat on the run?)
Sleep: Have trouble sleeping
Physical Activity: Exercise less
9. Short term impact of stress:
Releases a hormone called
corticotropin-releasing hormone,
which suppresses appetite
Brain –sends messages to the
adrenal glands to pump out the
hormone epinephrine also called
“adrenaline”.
When you are in this “fight-or-
flight” stage your brain is revered
up and it temporarily puts eating
on hold.
If stress persists: adrenal gland releases a hormone called cortisone which actually increases
the appetite
Once stressful episode is over cortisol will drop unless stress persists it can leave the cortisol
levels stuck on “on” and stay elevated
10. Stress and Overeating
Stress, the hormones it unleashes, and the effects of
high-fat, sugary “comfort foods” push people toward
overeating.
Researchers have linked weight gain to stress, and
according to an American Psychological Association
survey, about one-fourth of Americans rate their stress
level as 8 or more on a 10-point scale.
11. Stress in the long term:
http://fitness.makeupandbeauty.com/stress-hormone-cortisol-and-weight-gain/
o Physical or emotional distress
increases the intake of food high
in fat, sugar, or both
o High cortisol levels, in
combination with high insulin
levels, may be responsible vs
ghrelin, a “hunger hormone,” may
have a role
o High fat and sugar-filled foods
reduce the stress affect in parts of
the brain that produce and process
stress and related emotions – you
are treating the stress and it is
working! THIS MAY INCREASE
OUR STRESS INDUCED
CRAVINGS TO FOOD!
12. Gender differences
Some research suggests a gender difference in stress-coping behavior, with
women being more likely to turn to food and men to alcohol or smoking.
Harvard researchers have found that stress is correlated with weight gain, but
only in those who were overweight at the beginning of the study period.
One theory is that overweight people have elevated insulin levels, and stress-
related weight gain is more likely to occur in the presence of high insulin.
How much cortisol people produce in response to stress may also factor into
the stress–weight gain equation.
In 2007, British researchers designed an ingenious study that showed that
people who responded to stress with high cortisol levels in an experimental
setting were more likely to snack in response to daily hassles in their regular
lives than low-cortisol responders.
13. Stress Response:
Stressed people also lose sleep, exercise less, and drink
more alcohol, all of which can contribute to excess weight.
14. Food Behaviors and Stress
Do you know which foods to tend to eat due to stress?
Do you know how much you eat? (Is it a portioned amount or until the
bag or container is empty)
Try replacing these foods with alternatives :
Nuts
small amount of fruit
Crunchy veggies and dip
Soup broth
If you crave carbs, try complex carbs like air-popped popcorn or whole grain
English muffin
Portion out the food instead of eating from containers – OR purchase
pre-portioned foods (ex. 100 calorie snack packs of nuts)
Keep tempting comfort foods out of the house
Even better, work towards finding a non-food related activity instead
15. Non-Food Ways to Manage Stress
Meditation
Studies show that meditation reduces stress
Most of the research has focused on high blood pressure and heart
disease.
Meditation may also help people become more mindful of food
choices.
There’s an app for that! Cleveland Clinic Stress Free (iPhone)
Exercise
Intense exercise increases cortisol levels temporarily, but low-
intensity exercise seems to reduce them.
Some activities, such as yoga and tai chi, have elements of both
exercise and meditation.
16. Non-Food Ways to Manage Stress
Social support.
Friends, family, and other sources of social support seem to have a
buffering effect on the stress that people experience.
For example, research suggests that people working in stressful situations, like
hospital emergency departments, have better mental health if they have adequate
social support.
Therapy or Counseling
Can be very helpful for reshaping our thoughts about daily stresses
and managing depression/emotions
