A prominent nursing center in the mid-size East South Central city in the South has come under the fire due to a major challenge of shortage in the nursing staff. An increase in the health care expenses led to a temporary reduction in the staff’s earning that led them to decrease in the number of nurses. Decreasing the nursing staff is the only logical way to combat the increased health costs, however, it partly kills the working enthusiasm of the staff.
But, the decreased staff is birthing more problems, as there is an array of patients that come to this center for care and cure and the decreased number of nurses cannot put up with all of them.
To innovate is to put new ideas into practice or existing ideas into practice in new ways. Every nurse is an agent of change and an innovator. Every day, nurses work together to solve difficult challenges in the workplace and for their patients.

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.
2. Introduction !
In this modern day and age, there are many challenges in healthcare. These
challenges include new types of disease or re-emergence of old diseases.
However with the advancement of the healthcare and technology, life can be
saved and life prolonged. Furthermore the length of hospitalization can be
shortened. In present modern era of technology, patients are more educated and
have accessibility to information in the internet. Hence, demand for quality care is

women's work and was a domestic role where women were expected to fulfill in
the home.” But today, nursing is different from those days. It has progressed from
doctors' "handmaiden" to being a healthcare professional. The responsibility

the power to authorize their job, satisfaction in their job and feel appreciated.

of patient outcomes.
A powerless nurse is an ineffective nurse. Powerless nurses have more job strain
compare to empowered nurses. this is the cause of burnout in work.
Powerless nurses are less satisfied with their jobs, and more susceptible to burnout
and depersonalization. "Lack of nursing power may also contribute to poorer
patient outcomes". Alternatively, "disempowerment, or the inability to act, creates
feelings of frustration and failure in staff nurses, even though they may still be
accountable on their job".
4. What is Empowerment?

through the access of information sharing, support, opportunity for
advancement and resources.
