The Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) is responsible for providing vital services to Americas veterans. Such services include health care, benefit programs, and access to national cemeteries to former military personnel and their dependents (The Department of Veterans Health, 2015). In this case we will be discussing the health care system and how it pertains to our veterans. The health benefits provided by the VA should serve as ones’ sole source of health care or as a complement to an already existing plan. As with anything it has its pros and cons.…
ECT is not going to be an easy decision and it will scar the patients and their families for life, but sometimes the only way out is tough and there's going to be sacrifices to be made. ECT sounds harsh, but it depends on the amount of pain the patients are willing to go through and the sacrifices that they have to make. ECT it is a tool that can give them a chance to live life to their fullest potential and it is an ethical procedure.…
After completing active duty service, many veterans return home with lifelong injuries. In most cases these veterans rely on VA hospitals for their medical care. This is a benefit promised to veterans who have sacrificed both physical and mental health for the country they love. These men and women should not be on waiting lists for so long, that the veteran dies before ever receiving the care promised. Veterans should not be driving great distances to a VA when there are doctors and hospitals close to home.…
Equine veterinarian is a career that provides medical care specifically for horses alone. An equine veterinarian is a licensed animal health professionals who are qualified to treat horses in various activities, not just for competition but for production. An equine vet can work in different types of weather as well as various types of environments. A basic routine for an equine veterinarian includes giving routine vaccinations, performing exams as well as diagnosing and treating diseases and performs surgeries on horses. The veterinarians most of the time visits the animals at farms and ranches in various types of weather rather than having them brought into their clinics or offices.…
I am just following up on this ECN. I am not sure this has been close out or not. I am saying it was not been because I have not seen or heard anything back from anyone. If this ECN has not been approved, please resubmit for approval by Monday. If we do not hear anything back by Monday we will assume it has been approved.…
Tumor heterogeneity represents extensive genetic and phenotypic differences among the same type of tumors in different patients (intertumor heterogeneity), and among cancer cells within a tumor (intratumor heterogeneity) (Fig. 1). In The populations of genetically distinct subclones can merge or be spatially separated. Such subclonal architecture varies dynamically during the disease course. The spatial separation of subclones in primary tumors could reflect physical barriers such as blood vessels or microenvironmental changes. Tumor subclones consist of cells that differ in clinically important phenotypic features and show differential gene expression due to the interplay between the genetic and epigenetic factors shaping the cellular phenotypes…
Major depressive disorder, a mood disorder, is one of the most common form of mental illness affecting more than 300 million people globally (National Institute of Mental Health [NIMH], 2016; World Health Organisation [WHO], 2017). It is the leading cause of disability worldwide (NIMH, 2016; WHO, 2017). It has a profound impact on the individuals as well as their families (Ahlstrom, Skarsater, & Danielson, 2009b; Luciano et al., 2012). Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a very safe and effective treatment for major depression (Black Dog Institute, n.d.). It is the preferred treatment for life-threatening depression and medication resistant-depression (Vanelle, Sauvaget-Oiry, & Juan, 2008).…
The “war on cancer” is now in its fourth decade since the president Richard Nixon declared war against cancer, leading to the National Cancer Act in 1971. Since 2004, when National Cancer Institute launched the Alliance for Nanotechnology in Cancer, a lot of efforts and massive fundings have been devoted to the development of novel nanotechnologies in order to reduce cancer mortality. Although localized primary solid tumors can be successfully removed surgically, the treatment of spreading tumors and tumor metastases requires extensive chemotherapy which aims to kill tumor cells or to inhibit their proliferation while preserving the normal cells in the body.…
Loss of cell-cell adhesion is one of the first steps of cancer metastasis, invasion, and progression, which is as a result of activation of EMT. N-cadherin is a mesenchymal stem cell marker and as more of these are expressed, E-cadherin and P-cadherin decreases, which are epithelial cell markers.(10) The cell is then considered to be a cancer cell. These markers are located on the cell surfaces, and…
1 MEDITECH provides a comprehensive and cohesive EHR designed to help your organization increase patient safety, modernize processes, and improve communication across departments and care teams. They reaction helps staff react more quickly to issues and changing conditions by automatically pushing information out to the appropriate personnel and displaying it in a meaningful form. Hospitals and other care facilities using MEDITECH benefit from products designed to meet the needs of clinicians and staff like physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and financial information between departments and care teams. Cerner can help with a combined suite of digital solutions proven to reorganize administration, reduce costs and improve patient’s safety. Cerner solutions allow doctors, nurses and other official users to share data rationally across an entire organization.…
Malignant tumors rapidly spread throughout the body, attacking tissues and the surrounding regions. The only cure for this tumor…
The death penalty has been in the United States since the first settlements were built. In that time an estimated 16,000 criminals have been put to death since the first recorded execution, back in 1608 (Ford). A amount of those criminals had killed at least one person, and good portion of them would not stop killing until they were stopped. Luckily, the criminals that were planning on never stopping, or were not able to stop, were caught and brought to justice. When the criminal is convicted, the family can feel some measure of relief about what has happened and that justice has been served knowing the criminal is off the streets.…
Even when personal protective equipment is available for a bioterrorist attack, first responders are faced with significant limitations. Problems with clothing, gloves, and masks remain and can include “bulk, weight, and demanding on physical labor.” Most protective gear becomes uncomfortable after wearing for a period of time. Protective gear also, makes it difficult to communicate push buttons and even observe surrounding (Caiafno, 2016). Uniformed police, for example, are well equipped to address bioterrorist attack, but become uncomfortable after extended wear.…
Information technology has come a long way developing modern information systems. Telemedicine is one of the areas within the healthcare organizations in which healthcare providers can remotely serve people in the remote areas using advanced telecommunication technology. Teleconsult The purpose of teleconsultation to obtain the professional opinion of a healthcare provider who is not physically present at the location where the patient and/or his primary healthcare provider are.…
With a genetically diverse tumor, there is a good chance that a few cells will survive when whole other cells die. With current technology, scientists are able to analyze the individual cancer cells in perspective of evolutionary biology which could help them pinpoint its cancer’s adaption and unlimited growth. When cancer cells reproduce, there is always a risk of error which DNA is mistakenly copied, chromosomes misalign, and break up into wrong cell. The new evolutionary approach, a phylogenetic tree, allows scientists to calculate which genes are more likely to be copied or die and become grow or survive. The tree approach is better to predict which primary tumors later metastasize.…
