ADHD is a behavioral disorder that exhibits a severe long-term effect on victims. The condition poses, even more, grave consequences on the health of females than males. Therefore, given that it can progress unnoticed during childhood, there is the need to conduct a thorough assessment to enable accurate diagnosis. Diagnosis is usually made using the Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-Fourth Edition-Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR) criteria. An in-depth exploration of all the possible treatment recommendations begins after the diagnosis. In the treatment of DHD detected in the patient in the case study, various approaches can be considered. Usually, the treatment of ...

A total of 57 million deaths were reported worldwide in 2008, and the majority of those deaths were caused by either non-cardiovascular diseases (36 million; 63%) or cardiovascular diseases (17.3 million; 30%) according to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2011). The highest mortality rates are associated with ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases, which account for 45% and 29% of the cardiovascular-related deaths in men and 37% and 33% of cardiovascular-related deaths in women, respectively (see Figure 1). Ischemic heart disease is considered the most common cardiovascular cause of death as it accounts for 7.6 million deaths worldwide (Institute ...

Medical genomic can be defined as the utilization of genome-based information in the making of clinical decisions. A broader concept, personalized medicine, is often used to describe the models of healthcare that emphasize the application of an individual’s unique environmental, genomic, genetic, and clinical information to the treatment and prevention of diseases (Brunicardi; Offit). In their practice, doctors combine the results of patient data, which include individual genomic information, family history, medical history, conventional test results, and symptoms. The combination of the data allows the physicians to diagnose diseases accurately and personalize treatment strategies (Alzu’bi et al.). ...

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

Health care standards have been evolving over time. A plethora of processes and forces take part in igniting the developments. These changes could be ad hoc, systematic or even consensual. At the bottom lurks a well-established organizational structure whose object is to review the performance of the standards and propose advancement where circumstances so require. However, certain areas lag, occasioning serious inefficiencies to the system. Often, the legal framework is a serious undoing and affects the realization of these standards. Besides, diverse standards contain varying recommendations, and this tends to atrophy the efforts therewith. Perhaps a biggest of all ...

In healthcare organizations, patients are admitted, tested, put under medication, and discharged. All these activities generate data that is analyzed to produce information stored as patient records. This information can be overwhelming especially for large organizations. In some cases, patient information may be scattered in different hospital departments. This means that reconciling such information would be a difficult task yet patient information is important. Therefore, information needs to be managed in such a way that it is accessible to authorized personnel, easily modified and stored (Vest & Gamm, 2010). Health informatics is a discipline concerned with the management of healthcare ...

Abstract

This paper evaluates several sources to try and determine whether the needs of youth in juvenile detention facilities are being met. While most youths consider counselling to be effective, more than half of them do not have the pleasure of working with professional mental health personnel. The education system used in most of these facilities tends to be ineffective because the needs of detained youth are different from the needs of their counterparts in the general population. Further, there are various disruptions, including court proceedings and security procedures that take up plenty of time that would be used for ...

Dehydration is the excessive loss of water by an individual which in turn reciprocates in the disruption of the normal bodily functions. This improper functioning of the body is mainly caused by the fact that the human body is in a constant state of losing fluids and it is always required that the lost water be replaced, however if not replaced, then complications may arise. The elderly in the nursing homes tend to be victims of dehydration mainly due various reasons such as being unable to speak out when they need to be given fluids and further inadequate supervision ...

Introduction

Outreach programs led by a registered nurse are known to have a significant impact on the quality of care and health outcomes of patients (Toyce, et al. 2015). Nurses involved in post-discharge care such as home safety evaluation, medication compliance, and patient education have a positive impact on patient outcomes (Toyce, et al. 2015). Most patients do not follow instructions laid by the healthcare professional post-discharge which leads to non-compliance and readmission. This problem can be solved by a nurse-led outreach program that helps patients in various activities at home, thus improving health outcomes and reduced readmission rates. Nurses ...

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is recognized as a common neurodevelopmental disorder among children; in the United States, the prevalence is thought to be between 5 percent and 11 percent of children ages 4 through 17 in 2011 or approximately 6.4 million children (American Psychiatric Association, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ; CDC.gov, Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder). Kessler places the adults with ADHD at 1 percent to 6 percent of the population (Kessler 717). A meta-analysis of 32 published research articles concluded that when children met the full diagnostic criteria for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, 15 percent continued to show symptoms at ...

However, it is possible that hypertension is an incorrect diagnosis. Normal blood pressure should be bellow 120/80, but it is also considered that the blood pressure can deviate up to 140 mmHg systolic pressure and 90 mmHg diastolic reading. Because Mrs. Chang’s blood pressure reading is lower than 140/90, her case can be considered pre-hypertension at most (Cunha, 2010). Another possibility is that Mrs. Chang’s condition has changed since her last examination, but she could not have known that because she cannot remember her last examination. She currently appears to suffer from orthostatic hypotension rather than hypertension. ...

DISCUSS THE ROLE OF ION CURRENTS IN DETERMINING THE SHAPE AND DURATION OF CARDIAC ACTION POTENTIAL

Introduction Selective permeability to various ions is an important characteristic of cell membranes, one that determines myriad cellular functions. In animal cells, ion permeability and the electrical potential generated thereof determines the activity of neurons, myocytes and the like. The electrical potential depends on the concentration of the ions inside and outside any given cell, the permeability of the cell membrane to the ions and the ion channels that are present on the surface of the cell. Cardiac cells also possess different ion channels on their surface. These determine the two types of electrical potentials, namely, resting membrane ...
