Introduction

Acute myocardial infarction is a complication of the heart that in which patients complain of heaviness or discomfort of the chest area. This complication is mainly as a result of a decrease in blood flow into the lungs or increase in perfusion. Diagnosis of this complication is done with great detail of the family history as well as physical examination to ascertain the levels of complication (Kapfhammer et al., 2004). In most cases, the treatment involves combating the possibility of re-infarction with much focus being given on the need to reduce any further damage of the cardiac tissue.

Rehabilitation of mentally ill in prisons and jails: issues and concerns

The California Department of Corrections (CDC) in 2005 added the term “rehabilitation” as a part of the agency’s official title, becoming the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, or the CDCR. However, the change in title did not result in a change of philosophy in the treatment of prisoners in the United States. Though the reintegration of the methodology of rehabilitation officially entered the regime of the CDRC, there is little or no evidence that the methodology has significantly changed (Berkeley- University of California, 2009, p. 277).
Berkebile (2010, p.1) reported that by 2009, California’s penal facilities ...

Pregnancy Is Treated as a Disease in Today’s Society, in Canada

Pregnancy is considered as a natural phenomenon. Whereas some people believe that pregnancy is a disease and it has to be treated before giving birth to a child (McKay, 2006). Pregnancy is a God gifted thing and nobody can interrupt this system. Although there might be some diseases attached with the pregnancy, but considering pregnancy as a disease itself is wrong. Diabetes and hypertension are commonly known complaints of pregnant women in Canada. The reason for this is not pregnancy, but the excessive weight gain, breast cancer and HIV during the pregnancy (Tata, et. al. 2005).

Problem statement: To study and analyze the Canadian pregnancy treatment.

The significance of the study: The main purpose ...

Implementing Integrated Clinical Pathways

Clinical pathways refer to anticipated recovery pathways or care pathways integrated and coordinated, in an effort to describe the expected clinical course of a patient's clinical problems (Li, Kecheng, Yang, & Yu, 2013). They identify the shortfalls associated with the adopted medical standards (Lenz & Reichert, 2005). The paper clinical pathways have challenges that can be eliminated by integration of information systems in the clinical pathways procedures. These shortfalls arise from inaccurate communication involved in paper-based clinical pathways (Mathe, 2009). This paper proposes integrated clinical pathways with an aim of embedding knowledge into existing hospital information systems and treatment policies.

Introduction

Medical Case Reports (MCRs) are medical recounts of a pathological condition about a single patient (Helan, 2012). Authors of the medical case reports, who are doctors, tend to experience unusual, unique or interesting medical aspects in patients' pathology about diagnosis, treatment and adverse reaction to the treatment. Therefore, they are purported to write medical case reports which represent unique or rear patient conditions that can influence new studies and hence increased medical knowledge. Although the medical case reports have for a long time been regarded as much inferior compared to medical research articles, they are becoming recognised as just equally important. Since ...

According to Carlson and Rice (2014), patient safety advocates have in the recent past called increased regulations on the safety of patients.
