  • Summary Of Panic Grass And Feverfew

    202 Words  | 1 Pages

    By the same token, Hersey 's personal political agenda still continues to be ambiguous in Chapter 4, Panic Grass And Feverfew. While Hersey adds a number of graphic accounts and stories, we should, again, note an oddity that is missing from his book: any kind of deliberate anti-American awareness in the wake of Hiroshima 's devastation. Mrs. Nakamura develops a resentful hatred of Americans when she supposes that they had released a poison on the city; but when this comment turns out to be baseless, her animosity immediately vanishes. Later, she explains to Hersey that the public mood of the Japanese was a sort of hopeless acceptance: “It was war and we had to expect it.” (89) Mr. Tanimoto wrote a letter to an American colleague with the

  • Divalproex Case Study

    572 Words  | 3 Pages

    Clinical Question: Should divalproex or gabapentin be used for female adolescents with partial focal seizures and decreased liver function? Evidence Based Answer: Gabapentin and divalproex are both effective anticonvulsant medications for partial seizures in female adolescent patients1,2. However, divalproex has adverse effects that are detrimental to patients with preexisting liver impairment3. Gabapentin does not have these detrimental effects on the liver like divalproex does because it is eliminated from the body through the kidneys instead of the liver4. If divalproex is more effective for the patient than gabapentin it may be paired with diammonium glycyrrhizinate to combat the detrimental effects on the liver.

I also learned that mental illnesses are not one-spell-cure-all diseases, which is very helpful to know.

    In the Dominican Republic, there is a phenomenon that occurs in children going through adolescents. They are known as geuvedoces, which translates into “testicles at twelve”. These rare and amazing kids are born male, with XY chromosome, but do not physically appear that way until puberty. Up to that point in their life, geuvedoces are mistaken for females because their bodies do not make the hormone that normally achieves the male features. The penis is so small in size that it is confused with a female’s clitoris and the testicles are held inside their body, much like ovaries.
