Chronic fatigue syndrome

The program we are evaluating is called the Inner Residence Program. Created after the events that took place during the attacks on September 11th, the program was put in place to help students and teachers that were impacted. Soon after, educators and mental health experts put together a social and emotional learning program to help these individuals. The program’s aim is to teach the teachers skills of mindfulness and resilience, to then bring into their own lives, and to teach these educators…

As I began Milestone four, I stopped and thought about the goals I wanted to set for myself. How can I best use this class and this project for personal growth? One, how can I best set myself up for success. Two in setting my goals, not to create too lofty of a goal that I will fail or produce additional stress in trying to reach the tartget. Lastly, how can I best incorporate the personal goals I set in Milestone Two. In Milestone two, I identified the three goals I sought to set for myself.…

life trajectory not only affects her life and well-being, but her families as well. The initial reaction that Alice had was important in knowing who she was as a person, everyone in Alice’s family reacted and acted differently in response to the chronic illness, and the type of Alzheimer’s that Alice had changed the perception that the family had. When Alice first began forgetting small things, like a word during a lecture, she brushed it off as if it wasn’t a huge deal. However, when she goes…

When distracted by pain, the last thing considered is how well the mind is feeling, but that may be more important than what scientists originally thought. Mental state has been found to affect humans, as a species, significantly more than what the average person may realize. It can affect how a person feels physically as well as emotionally. In recent studies it has been found that the psychological state affects pain specifically. It can even affect how a person will recovery from major and…

(Terry & Chopp, 2000). Regular use of the arms can result in fatigue of shoulder musculature, which could lead to altered scapular kinematics during humeral elevation (Tsai, McClure, & Karduna, 2003). These changes in scapular kinematics can potentially lead to shoulder problems such as impingement syndrome, rotator cuff tears, and glenohumeral instability (Ebaugh, McClure, & Karduna, 2006). It is important to investigate the effects of fatigue on individual shoulder muscles to further…

There a clear start and end point to each phase of the process. (Rice, 2013). This is what is hoped for in patients. Chronic wounds occur when any of the three phases are altered. This can lead to a failure in the healing of wounds and this can be seen in a prolonged inflammatory phase, if infections are continuous, if biofilms are formed that are resistant to drugs or…

The intricate reaction between the human’s physiological and psychological responses has been long disputed (Rowbotham, 2001) This ever changing discussion may be explained by the neuromatrix pain theory (Melzack, 1999). However, our understanding of the physiological response to a painful experience and its effects on the body has changed over the years. In the mid-17th century the pain theory was over simplified; nerve impulses travelled to the cerebral cortex in the brain, the more damage the…

Traditionally, Negative Pressure Wound Therapy (NPWT) has been used for chronic wounds, like non healing diabetic ulcerations or dehisced surgical incisions. NPWT is quite successful for these types of wounds, but recently there has been a trend to use NPWT for burn victims. This paper summarizes a case of 5 patients who were burned in a dust explosion in Taiwan in 2015 and NPWT was used, not only to treat the wounds, but also to facilitate the skin grafting. NPWT was first approved for use by…

(Arnett, 2016). Another threat to stress is financial stress, which is also unavoidable. No one enjoys dealing with their finances and paying bills. According to a study done by Lin, Hsu, & Chang (2011), in middle adulthood, females suffered from chronic stress when dealing with finances, while men had little stress when dealing with finances. Overall, about 50% of the people examined in this study suffered from some level of stress when dealing with finances (Lin, Hsu, & Chang,…
