Beneficial effects of the beta adrenergic antagonists in the treatment of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is not uncommon for the patients to present with two or more disease states at the same time. Thus, the management of such concomitant disease states may be pharmacologically challenging as it is, for example, in the treatment of the chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and hypertension (HTN) with a compelling indication of the post-myocardial infarction (post-MI).…
A short literature review is included in the background section of the article, and it is relevant to the study. It provides information about the expenses related to readmission and the need of developing the interventions to reduce readmission rates. Poor communication, gaps in follow-up care, discharging patients with pending tests results, and inadequate patient education and discharge instructions have impacted the readmission rate. However, the authors of the article did not include any…
self-care requirement but still help (Blais & Hayes, 2011). Lastly, supportive-educative systems include the use of educational tools and resources to educate the patient needing to learn self-care measures and requiring assistance to complete (Blais & Hayes, 2011). As it relates to falls prevention, nurses assist and educate their patients in identifying their individual risk factors for falling and encourage participation with prevention interventions promoting self-care requisites (Blais &…

the US. The following limitations have to me discussed. First, the study search was limited to English language. Perhaps there were published studies about SCD in SA that were written in Arabia only. Second, most of the included studies were retrospective studies, which examined previously collected data and the researcher had no control in managing that process. Finally, there were very few articles identified in the literature to serve the purpose of this paper. Despite these limitations, the…
do not differentiate between gram (+) and gram (-) sepsis and their differing virulence factors. It is possible that the offending microbe causing the sepsis may contribute to increased mortality and disease outcomes. Interestingly, a 2011 retrospective cohort study (level 3 evidence) found that prior antibiotic therapy in gram(-) severe sepsis was associated with increased mortality for this patient population (8). It is plausible that patients who have received recent antibiotic therapy…

According to a commonly referenced definition of bullying given by Olweus (1994) bullying is a chronic form of victimization or aggression involving attempts to harm the other person (as cited in Benitez & Justica, 2006).…
Introduction Liver transplantation (LT) is a well-established curative therapy for irreversible chronic end-stage liver disease or acute liver failure (1-3). Since the introduction of the liver transplant procedure, it has been a standard approach to give postoperative ventilation in children and exact timing of extubation is usually debatable but it has been noted that early or even immediate extubation may be a feasible approach nowadays (4-6). It is important to assess timing of extubation…
