Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) Cycle Nursing Model Reduces the Risk of Hemangioma in Hemodialysis Patients

Background: We aimed to explore the effect of Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) circulation nursing on the prevention of aneurysm after hemodialysis. Methods: A total of 139 hemodialysis patients from Oct 2018 to Jan 2020 in Nephrology Department of the First People’s Hospital of Lianyungang, China were enrolled. They were randomly divided into control group and PCDA group, including 58 patients in control group and 81 patients in PCDA group. Patients' satisfaction, blood flow in arteriovenous internal fistula and the incidence of post-dialysis vascular-related complications were statistically investigated in the two groups. Results: The satisfaction of patients in PDCA group was significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.001). In addition, when there was no statistical difference in blood flow between the two groups, the probability of complications such as internal fistula obstruction, thrombosis, infection, secondary puncture and aneurysm was lower in patients in the PDCA group, none of which occurred aneurysm. Conclusion: PDCA circulation nursing can effectively improve the quality of care and medical effect of hemodialysis patients with internal arteriovenous fistula, improve patient satisfaction and reduce the incidence of complications.

In Vivo Activity Of Medications In Different Dosage And Ultrahigh Dilutions

Biological activity of medical remedies varies depending on the dosage of the medicinal substance. As we analyze the results of the medicinal effect we can determine three areas of its effect. First of all, this is a therapeutic area where its dose-dependent medical effect is demonstrated. When a certain amount of drug in the body it exceeded this causes transition to the toxic area where every medicine causes certain pathological manifestations. Significant decrease of the drug dose demonstrates the area of no effect on the body. At the same time similar body reaction can be observed with homeopathic remedies in ultrahigh dilutions. Classical definition of a dose as an amount of substance introduced into the body is not suitable for homeopathic remedies that often don’t have drug substance molecules at all. The presence of areas of different reaction is explained by the effect of electromagnetic wave emissions of drug substances. It is known that molecules of all medicinal substances have certain frequencies that come into resonance with different body structures, including genes that have similar oscillatory characteristics. This causes expression of certain genes and increase of their activities. Increase of an allopathic substance dose causes voltage increase it its wave and consequently an increase of the effect on the genes. However overdose causes hyperstimulation and exhaustion of the gene under expression and consequently pathological symptoms develop. On the other hand a dose too small cannot stimulate gene activity and this causes a lack of medical effect. As demonstrated by long-term studies, the activity of potentiated remedies (in ultrahigh dilutions) is related to development of coherence. Coherence is a phasic shift of the medicinal wave that occurs with potentiation of a remedy. As the potency is increased, every step, i.e. coherent wave shift decreases, thus increasing the probability of exact coincidence of the drug and gene waves and their contraposition to the wave of a xenobiotic. Wave shift by have the phase of a xenobiotic wave makes them opposite in terms of amplitude. They begin to damp each other and thus pathogenic effects of a xenobiotic are neutralized. In such a way, drug activity on the body is determined by wave characteristics of the medicinal substance molecules. Activity of allopathic medications depends on the dose, e.g. the number of drug substance molecules. Activity of homeopathic medications depends on the degree of their potentiation.

Understanding the Magical Property of the Desharis, Bejunis (Witch Doctors) of the Kandhs of South Orissa

Deshari, Bejuni, Shamanins are known as indigenous physicians or Vaidyas among the Kandhas of south Orissa. The Deshari is well acquainted with the medical effect of the roots and herbs required for curing of the diseases using charms and spells. Bejunis are experts for the treatment of mental patients. Through magical spells and charms (known as white Magic), she takes up the cases of mental illness. The services of Shamanins are requires for harming an enemy by mantras and tantras.They are expert in Black Magic. Kandhs are experts or specialists in treatment of drowned, night goblin, labour pain and pain in mother’s breast and pulta-bagha. This particular magical property enabled them to transform themselves into tigers and in this shape to attack human beings and their cattle1 . John Campbell* , a top ranking ICS officer witnessed such cases of Pulta-bagha in his own eyes. Their magical properties are amazing and tremendous. But they had no written books on this magical property. It goes from mind to mind, mouth to mouth and generation to generation. The charms, spells, magic-lores, magic cords, folk method of treatment and folk medicines are the traditional heritage of these people. If we will not collect, document or preserve in digital form, this valuable wealth of the centuries will disappear from the society very soon. An humble attempt has been made in this paper to present a vivid account of the role of Desharis, Bejuni, Shamanins and their magical property for the treatment of the diseases.

ERGONOMIC ENGINEERING INTERVENTION OF BATIK STAMPING WORK TO REDUCE LIFTING LOAD

One of the common health problems for small and medium enterprise such as batik production is work-related musculoskeletal disorder (WMSD). This health problem may contribute to long-term medical effect on the production workers. For batik stamping workers, the load of the copper block that need to be used repetitively can reach up to 2kg. This study aims to reduce WMSD effect by reducing the lifting load of the cooper block handled by the batik stamping worker. The worker’s working load is observed before the intervention process by using one of the ergonomic risk assessment tools, Rapid Upper Limb Asssessment (RULA). The ergonomic intervention designed in this study is from the engineering approach by modifying tools. It is found out that the intervention done were able to eliminate the lifting load handled by the worker to avoid discomfort or further health complication. This outcome are hoped to be able to improve workers’ health and increase batik stamping work productivity that eventually increased company’s revenue.

MEDICINAL EFFECT REVIEW OF AGARWOOD LEAVES FROM AQUILARIA AND GYRINOPS GENERA

Aquilaria and Gyrinops are the most common genera of Agarwood in Indonesia. These two group have wide distribution in Indonesia. Therefore, Indonesia is one of the biggest agarwood commodity producer in the world. However, the resin on agarwood stem is still main utilization of agarwood commodity in this country. Diversification agarwood utilization other than resin is needed to maximilize the potency of this commodity. Agarwood leaves are one of by product from agarwood cultivation that rarely been utilized. Agarwood leaves contain secondary metabolites that have medical effect such as Phenol, Flavonoid, Terpenoid , Alkaloid and Tannin. Thus, agarwood leaves has a good potency as a source of food and beverage product that have a medicinal effects. Agarwood leaves form Aquilaria group and Gyrinops group both have medicinal effect including antioxidant, antibacterial, cytotoxic and anticancer. Aquilaria leaves also has additional medicinal effect including: anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and laxative while Gyrinops leaves also has additional medicinal effect as antiradical source of sunscreen.

Mesopotamian Beginnings for Greek Science?

This chapter studies the influential tradition of Mesopotamian medicine. Two distinct kinds of medical experts collaborated to diagnose and to treat illness, the āšipu and the asû, who are respectively analogous to the Greek iatros and pharmakopōlēs. Assyrian herbals are organized by medical effect, much like Dioscorides’ herbal. The Diagnostic and Predictive Series, standardized by ca 1050 bce, provides evaluations of illnesses from head to toe, plus evaluations by category such as fever, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and pediatrics. Mesopotamian medicine was very familiar with contagion. The attribution of diseases to gods, ghosts, or demons was simply the āšipu’s way of subdividing broad categories of disease, much as we aggregate symptoms.
