Symptomatic treatment or palliative treatment refers to therapies that relieve symptoms, without correcting the basic or underlying cause of the disease. Symptomatic treatment of pain normally aims at reducing the pain but not to eliminate the disease causing the pain (Eliopoulos, 2013). The society normally reinforces or promotes symptomatic treatment of pain rather than correction of the underlying problem through several ways. One is self-management, whereby patients do not seek professional help but rather attempt to manage pain on their own or with help of family and friends in order to prevent flare-ups (Eliopoulos, 2013). They can do so ...

A Fossil fuel power station is a plant location where fossil fuels are burned producing electricity. Such fossil fuels include petroleum, natural gas, and coal. There are power plants which are designed for continuous operations for large scale purposes called central station fossil fuel power plants. Fossil fuel plants in many countries are used in the provision of electricity. They have machines for conversion of heat energy from combustion of fossil fuels into mechanical energy that operates an electrical generator producing electric currents (Camus et al. 154). The Samso Island is planning to exhaust the application of fossil fuels ...

Genome imprinting is the latest technique that has genetically modified the face of infertility; it is an epigenetic phenomenon through which the parental origin of a gene is determined based on its expression. 1 There are a vast number of genes in mammals that are marked with their parental origin, and the result of this phenomenon is a single parental allele. These marked genes are known as “imprinted.” They rely on the epigenetic machinery determining their parental identity and maintaining their origin-specific gene expression. There are 100 imprinted genes estimated in human and 200 ...

Virtual architecture model

Virtual learning environments (VLE) are management systems that mediate between the functionality of computer communication software such as bulletin boards, emails, newsgroup, and white boards, with on-line delivering methods of course work. These systems are purposed to produce classroom environments by provision of new technological tools that facilitate learning. The virtual learning model uses these systems in providing an environment that boosts learning (In Carvalho, , and In Goodyear, 2014). Whiteboards, being one of the systems incorporated in the model, provide instructions, methods, mathematical signs, and interpretations of the solutions, using the virtual learning approach. The theory ...

Globalization has many advantages. The consumers are able to get access to a variety of goods from various producers and at a cheaper price. This improves the standards of living of the consumers. In addition, inefficient producers are removed from the market and this ensures quality products that at low costs (Milward, 2003). Therefore efficient allocation of resources is encouraged. In addition, the relationship between countries improves as people from different countries trade. Globalization also enhances technological transfer and this facilitates faster development of the poor economies.

Globalization however has several disadvantages. The effects of globalization are not the same for ...

A Proposal Review 1. Research Question The proposal question – How has the credit crisis had an effect on the capital structure of Dutch SMEs? – is essentially quantitative in construct but the elements appear to indicate a confused tendency towards quantitative investigation. There are other things to improve on. First, for quantitative studies, which this study is, the words “what” or “why” are most appropriate to begin the research question (RQ) if the research design intends to find a cause-and-effect relationship (“what”) or the reason for such relationship (“why”) (Creswell 130). Moreover, directional ...

Postoperative Pain Management after Caesarean Section

With the rising number of cesarean deliveries, postoperative pain management poses as a major clinical challenge. Various methods of pain management have been introduced in an effort to relief cesarean patient’s pain due to factors related to related possible complications as well as for neonatal and maternal wellbeing. Despite the advances made in development of new delivery and analgesic techniques and on pathophysiology of postoperative pain, most patients still suffer from moderate to severe postoperative pain. The United States surveys indicate that 50-70% of women have a high likelihood of experiencing moderate to severe pain after a C-section (Gilmour, 2005). The ...

Central serous retinopathy (CSR), also known as central serous chorioretinopathy, is characterized by separation of the two major layers of the retina (the innermost layer of the eye): the inner neurosensory layer (which contains cells that transmit electrical impulses to the occipital lobe) and the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) (the outer layer of the retina that contains the photoreceptor [light-receiving] cells). The mechanism of this condition is leakage of serous (serum-like) fluid from a portion of the choroid (the layer of the eye just outside the retina) called the choriocapillaris (a network of small blood vessels located in that portion ...

Abstract

After several unsuccessful attempts in preceding years, the first successful transatlantic cable installation was successfully installed and commissioned in 1866. This giant step in global communications was the first of many cable installations that gave the United States the technology to break away from the physical and intellectual isolation from Europe and the rest of the world. Starting with the telegraph, followed by the telephone and most recently the Internet; the government, business sector and finally the general public were given access to increasingly accessible and affordable bi-directional and interactive communications. The technology of telecommunications has provided a most efficient ...
