Stem cell technology has the potential to transform treatment for many chronic diseases and conditions. However, it also raises ethical issues such as the destruction of human embryos to derive embryonic stem cells. Recently, scientists discovered a novel method to derive stem cell-like cells from human skin cells, avoiding ethical issues. This breakthrough advances stem cell research and provides solutions for ethical concerns. The evolution of stem cell technology demonstrates the intersection between science and society, where scientific progress requires consideration of social issues.
1) The document reports on the effectiveness of a multidisciplinary team approach in controlling HbA1c levels in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It found that the approach was effective at reducing HbA1c levels compared to usual care over 6 months.
2) The document also reviews the components of patient-centered care, including understanding the patient as a whole person, enhancing the patient-doctor relationship, and tailoring care to the patient's needs and priorities.
3) Non-pharmacological and pharmacological management strategies are discussed for palliating dyspnea, including oxygen therapy, opioids, relaxation techniques, and addressing underlying causes.
Performance Indicators Develpment in Operational Level for Pre-hopital EMS in...DMS Library
This document discusses the development of performance indicators for pre-hospital emergency medical services (EMS) in Thailand. The researchers identified success factors from Thailand's national EMS strategy plan and used them to develop 28 performance indicators for operational level EMS. The success factors focused on infrastructure and information technology development. The performance indicators can be used as guidelines to improve operational work and provide standardized, efficient EMS to people in both normal and disaster situations.
