Literature Review Of The Relationship Between Illness Identity And Recovery Outcomes Among Adults With Severe Mental Illness, Veronica W. Wanyee, Dr. Josephine Arasa

Modern Psychological Studies

This paper is a literature review of the relationship between illness identity and recovery outcomes among adults with severe mental illness. First, illness identity is explored as presented in the literature, through analysis of work on narrativization, labeling theory and the role of gender stereotypes. Literature on stigmatization as a mediating factor that influences the ways illness identity impacts recovery is also studied. Finally, work is presented on recovery outcomes that are a direct result of self-perception. Findings suggest the existence of two paradigms; positive and negative illness identity as the result of mediating factors from the diagnosis stage. A …

Public Health At The Public Library: Preventive Health Programs Implemented In Large Public Libraries, Uday Aj Patil

SLIS Connecting

Amid the opioid epidemic and COVID-19 pandemic, the public sector is consumed with health promotion and disease prevention. Preventive programs serve a significant purpose in ensuring population health and reducing burden on the healthcare system (Cohen et al., 2008; Neumann & Cohen, 2009). People are increasingly turning to educational resources outside of the traditional healthcare sector to ward off diseases or alleviate pre-existing conditions (Eakin et al., 1980; Eng et al., 1998). Public library systems often carry such resources, in print and multimedia form, at no cost. Some libraries are providing health programming to supplement, contextualize, or incentivize the use …

Synthesis Of Metal Nanoparticles Using Plants: An Ecofriendly Approach, Dutt Rohit, Dhir Sarika, Singh Mhaveer

Central Asian Journal of Pediatrics

Synthesis of metal nanoparticles using plants by green synthesis technology is biologically safe, environment-friendly and cost-effective. Plant contains various biomolecules such as alkaloids, phenolics, terpenoids, saponins, co-enzymes. These phytoconstituents are present in various parts of plant such as leaves, stem, roots, flower, bark. It has been found that these phytocomponents act as reducing and stabilizing agent in the production of metallic nanoparticles such as silver, gold, copper, platinum, zinc oxide etc. These plant mediated nanoparticles are used as antimicrobial, antifungal and a potential remedy for diseases like cancer, HIV, malaria, hepatitis etc.

Diagnostics Of Functional Changes Of The Left Ventricle Leading To Disorders Of The Heart Rhythm, M.M. Murodova, M.S. Baratova, Т.Т. Fayzullaev, L.M. Shagiyazova

Central Asian Journal of Pediatrics

Changes in blood pressure during the day lead to the development of left ventricular (LV) remodeling, which includes the processes of hypertrophy and dilatation, changes in geometry and impaired contractility of the myocardium, which manifests itself in a violation of its diastolic function. Structural changes in the LV are accompanied by an overload of the left atrium (LA) and is a factor predisposing to the development of rhythm disturbances. Indices of EDV by 9%, LVM by 34% and LVMI by 71% were higher in the group of patients with hypertension and heart rhythm disturbances; LV ejection fraction was 9% lower …

Central Asian Journal of Pediatrics

This article presents the material of morphological studies of the biopsy material of the costal-cartilage part, taken from 66 children (3-18 years old). For histological examination, intraoperatively removed tissue pieces from the anatomically modified cartilaginous elements of the sternum-costal complex of the anterior chest wall during thoracoplasty, were fixed in an aldehyde-osmium solution, and were placed in aralditis. A quantitative study of reactive changes in chondrocyte cartilage was carried out. The quantitative studies of changes in the chondrocytes of the cartilage of the sterno-costal complex indicate pronounced changes in the chondrocytes of the surface zone with a decrease in the …

Mechanical Strength Assessment Of Pharmaceutical Compacts With Refractive Index Measurements From Terahertz Time Of Flight Spectroscopy, Shikhar Mohan

Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The mechanical strength of pharmaceutical compacts is often considered as a critical quality attribute for roller and tablet compaction processes. Most traditional mechanical strength tests are destructive, thus, preventing further material testing. This thesis expands on the application of terahertz time of flight spectroscopy (THz-TOF) as a nondestructive technique for assessing mechanical strength. This technique is able to extract the refractive index; which is a function of porosity and crystallinity of the solid. Thus, it was hypothesized that refractive index measurements from terahertz time of flight spectroscopy are directly related to porosity; therefore, these nondestructive measurements are able to correlate …

Behavioral Differences Among Varyingly-Disturbed Populations Of Eastern Grey Kangaroos (Macropus Giganteus) In New South Wales, Australia, Francesca A. Iacobucci

Theses and Dissertations

Despite their iconic status, kangaroo spp. are often treated as pests in Australia due to perceived abundance and extensive grazing behaviors. With growing suburbanization, animals such as kangaroo spp., are forced to inhabit human-dominated areas. Little research has been done examining how different aspects of human-induced disturbance can varyingly affect the behavior of wild animals. Specifically, this study examined how varyingly-disturbed areas affect behaviors such as vigilance, foraging, joey emergence during the in/out stage of pouch emergence, and play in three eastern grey kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) populations. Results suggest that acute environmental disturbances (e.g., dogs barking or …

Program Evaluation Of The Vapro Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter In Hospitalized Patients Experiencing Urinary Retention, Dorothy Neufeld

Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Manuscripts

Abstract

A 319-bed hospital on the Florida Gulf coast revised their Bladder Care Bundle policy in September 2020. The document provided an algorithm to be followed to determine if intermittent urinary catheterization is warranted rather than an indwelling catheter to relieve urinary retention. Concurrently, this change included the introduction of a new product, Hollister’s VaPro Touch-Free Hydrophilic Intermittent Catheter which is considerably different from the traditional straight intermittent catheter previously utilized by the hospital. Its protective sheath and inducer tip are purported by the manufacturer to decrease the chance of contamination during insertion and thus reducing infection rates. A program …
