For centuries, our world has developed from agricultural age into a technological era. Nowadays, we are surrounded by all kinds of electrical equipment to serve our work and life with much higher efficiency. There are tons of innovations and new technologies that have been developed recently: Internet, robots, social apps and new treating methods. Those technologies are developing really fast at a speed we could never image before. However, as time goes by, it also brings people concerns, is those technologies going to bring any threat to our daily life? In Lauren Slater’s essay, “ Who Holds the Clicker?”, the author introduced a new method, DBS--Deep Brain stimulation Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS)--which is a faster way to treat the patient 's’

Unit three was quite challenging and very rewarding. So many of the patients I encountered during this unit (actually unit two because I have not had any clinical so far in unit three) have had ongoing struggles with addiction, specifically to benzodiazepines. I made it one of my goals for this unit to learn more about the proper use of benzodiazepines, and to discuss with my preceptor the many options for alternative medications and the treatment of anxiety.

Clostridium difficile is becoming a major problem inside of hospitals. There are many reasons as to why the bacteria is becoming a top priority while treating patients mainly inside of the hospital setting. Hospital-induced infections, lack of a proper diet, and even when people do not perform proper hygiene is causing this bacteria that is considered normal biota, to flourish and cause gastrointestinal distress. Bacteria have spent millions of years growing and their whole goal is to keep doing that.

Heart failure occurs when the heart cannot pump enough blood for the body due to a weakened or damaged heart. The heart 's pumping action moves oxygen-rich blood as it travels from the lungs to the left atrium, then on to the left ventricle, which pumps it to the rest of the body. The left ventricle supplies most of the heart 's pumping power, so it 's larger than the other chambers and essential for normal function. (American Heart Association). In left-sided or left ventricular heart failure, the left side of the heart must work harder to pump the same amount of blood. There are two types of left-sided heart failure: systolic heart failure and diastolic heart failure. Heart failure can arise from

Currently there are three medications, Teriflunomide, Fingolimod and Dimethyl Fumarate. While these medications offer the convenience of a pill they have considerable and potentially dangerous side effects. Teriflunomide (Aubagio) works by blocking the enzyme dihydroorotate dehydrogenase, which inhibit rapidly dividing cells like those of the immune system. Serious side effects include inability to fight infection, breathing problems and high blood pressure. Other side effects include: headache; diarrhea; nausea; hair thinning or loss; and abnormal liver test results. Fingolimod (Gilenya) is a sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor modulator. Serious side effects are potentially fatal infections, bradycardia and, hemorrhaging focal encephalitis. Currently, two patients have died while taking Gilenya, although it is not clear if the drug was solely responsible. Dimethyl Fumarate (Tecfidera) belongs to a class of drugs called Nrf2 activators and may work by decreasing inflammation thus preventing nerve damage. Tecfidera may cause serious side effects, including allergic reactions and has been implicated in the death of one patient who developed Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML). The most common side effects of Tecfidera include flushing and stomach

I am writing to you in support of Toye Adefioye. Toye Adefioye shadowed me at Daughters of Miriam, a skilled nursing facility in Clifton, New Jersey, from 08/2013 to 06/2014 for over 1500 hours. Toye observed me while I provide therapy to patients of various diagnoses; diagnoses such as general orthopedic, neurological, cardiovascular, wound management, geriatrics, and so on.

Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) is a standardized protocol that uses medications to facilitate endotracheal intubation of patients in emergency settings (Mason, Weant & Baker, 2013). Some indications for use of RSI include respiratory distress, trauma, or decreased airway patency (Mason et al., 2013). RSI medications include pretreatment medications such as fentanyl or lidocaine; acute paralytic agents and sedatives; and long term pain management, sedative or paralytic agents (Mason et al., 2013).

If respiratory distress occurs, discontinue infusion immediately; anaphylaxis may occur. Monitor patient closely during test dose and the first 1–2 hr of each dose for fever, chills, headache, anorexia, nausea, or vomiting. Renal function should be monitored frequently during Amphotericin B therapy.

This medication is contraindicated if the child has active or severe hepatic disease. Some warnings are medication errors which could result in accidental overdose and death so ensure that the dose is in milligrams (mg) and not millilitre (mL).

The patient was placed on HOLD to see the Senior Counselor for an update on her efforts of contacting Blue Hill Hospital. Please note, the patient appeared to be irritable and upset about being place daily and missing her transportation. The writer had to remind the patient that she had 1 week prior to take care of the matter and did not comply. The writer and the patient called Intercommunity together and spoke with Julia from the Detox department. During the phone screening- the patient was found ineligible as it was determined that the patient is not a chronic user due to her only using Valium three times and stopped for the past three weeks.

Zelnorm, also known as tegaserod maleate, is a drug indicated for the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In 2002, the drug was initially approved for women with IBS whose predominant symptom was constipation. In 2004, the use of tegaserod was approved for men and women under 65 to treat chronic idiopathic constipation. Initial studies of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of the drug demonstrated promising results. Tegaserod was shown to provide rapid, predictable, and consistent relief of chronic constipation.1 Additionally, only 1 percent of patients experienced significant adverse events but none of them were found to be attributable to the use of Tegaserod.1
