This document describes an electric-pneumatic bone drill. It has a trigger switch that activates an electric motor, which drives a rotating chuck that can hold various accessories for boring holes or driving screws. A bone drill is used in surgery to create holes in bones for inserting nails, screws, or other implants. It works using both electric power and a handpiece operated via foot switch. Advantages include adjustable handpiece speeds and a lighter, shorter handpiece that remains cool. Disadvantages can include accidentally drilling too deep and heat buildup. Safety precautions when using it include wearing protective eyewear and lubricating to prevent overheating.

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.

Navigating the Health Insurance Market_ Understanding Trends and Options.pdfEnterprise Wired
From navigating policy options to staying informed about industry trends, this comprehensive guide explores everything you need to know about the health insurance market.
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

CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V PREVENTIVE-PEDIATRICS.pdfSachin Sharma
This content provides an overview of preventive pediatrics. It defines preventive pediatrics as preventing disease and promoting children's physical, mental, and social well-being to achieve positive health. It discusses antenatal, postnatal, and social preventive pediatrics. It also covers various child health programs like immunization, breastfeeding, ICDS, and the roles of organizations like WHO, UNICEF, and nurses in preventive pediatrics.
2. MECHANISM..
A trigger switch activates an electric motor, which in turn drives a
rotating chuck. Numerous accessories can fit into in the chuck, allowing
the drill to bore holes, drive screws , etc.
3. USES….
• Bone drill is a device that is used to create hole in the bone to insert
nails, screws, etc.
• The drilling of bone is done in many fields of surgery including
orthopaedics , neurosurgery, plastics and reconstructive ,
craniomaxillofacial and ENT.
• Drilling of bone is common to produce hole for screw insertion to fix
the fractured parts for immobilization.
• Other common reasons for drilling bones in surgery for fixing implants
and fitting prosthetic devices.
5. ADVANTAGES ….
• Handpiece options are given when plugged into the corresponding
console ports.
• Handpiece speed runs at the maximum setting and responds to the
degree of pressure applied to the footswitch or hand switch.
• It is load bearing and load shearing.
• Hand piece is shorter and lighter.
• Comfortable in handling and angle does not get hot.
• High reliability.
• Continues irrigation is necessary to remove the bone dust, help
dissipate the heat and decrease thermal heat.
6. DISADVANTAGES….
• Tissue damage can be caused if the drill goes to far by accident.
• Extra force is sometime needed to apply on hand drill which can lead
to plugging of drill tip.
• If the area around a drill hole experiences a dramatic rise in
temperature than this can negatively affect the healing process and
even cause permanent damage.
7. PRECAUTIONS….
• Use of safety glasses by operating staff is recommended to prevent
eye injury.
• Never rest the hand piece on the patient.
• Do not sterilize the console part or footswitch.
• Machines should be cleaned after use.
• Lubrication is important to remove heat and friction.
• Never change a saw, bur or drill while hand piece is running.
• Excessive pressure should not be applied.
