The nursing profession has evolved significantly from its origins of providing domestic care to becoming a formally trained and licensed role. In the 1800s, nursing began as performing domestic duties but hospitals began training their own nurses. Today, nursing education occurs primarily through academic institutions. Advances in medicine and surgery led to nursing evolving into its own specialty, with organizations like AMSN supporting medical-surgical nurses. The development of anesthesia in the 1840s allowed for longer surgeries and new nursing responsibilities in surgical units.
In the 1800s, mental illnesses were not well understood and treatment was poor. People with mental illnesses were often isolated at home or imprisoned. By the mid-1800s, some advocated for more humane treatment and the first hospitals opened, though conditions were still poor. It was not until the late 1800s and early 1900s that more scientific study of mental illnesses began and reforms improved living conditions in hospitals.

Katherine began her shift feeling well-rested after a two-week vacation. She found that none of her patients were familiar to her. One patient in particular, 45-year old Lynda, who had been admitted a week prior with an emergent tracheostomy and other health issues, seemed like she would require a lot of attention over the next 12 hours. By working with Lynda over several days, Katherine helped her gain independence by teaching her how to suction and feed herself through her PEG tube. Physicians were unsure of Lynda's discharge plans because her brother doubted she could care for herself, but Katherine was impressed with Lynda's confidence and progress.

A nursing diagnosis consists of a label, definition, defining characteristics, and related/risk factors. It identifies actual or potential client health issues nurses can treat.
The document discusses the challenges of uncertainty for doctors in general practice and family medicine. It defines uncertainty as being at the core of medicine due to a lack of complete information about patients' past, present, and future conditions. Doctors must cope with uncertainty in medical histories, diagnoses, potential outcomes, and impacts of interventions. How doctors and patients communicate and cope with uncertainty has implications for medical ethics, referrals, prescribing practices, and overuse of services. Uncertainty is an inevitable part of medicine that doctors and patients must learn to acknowledge and manage together.
This document discusses a nursing case study that assesses a patient using the Roper-Logan-Tierney model of nursing. The model covers 12 activities of daily living and how they can be influenced by biological, psychological, socio-cultural, environmental, and political-economic factors. The document focuses on assessing one patient admitted to a cardiac ward named Ann and identifies one problem during the assessment and the corresponding nursing care provided.
The document summarizes the development and services of the Integrative Medicine and Palliative Care Team (IMPACT) at Children's Hospital at Montefiore. It describes how IMPACT began with a few clinicians in 2005 and has expanded to include various complementary and alternative medicine services. IMPACT assesses patients' physical, psychosocial and spiritual needs. It also provides education to medical staff and students on palliative care and integrative medicine. IMPACT is researching the effectiveness of interventions like aromatherapy, yoga and alternative diets.
The document summarizes the development and services of the Integrative Medicine and Palliative Care Team (IMPACT) at Children's Hospital at Montefiore.

Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) CosmeticsMuskanShingari
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
