Those with permanent stomas represent the majority of stoma patients looking for additional resources and support. UON should also heavily focus on the baby-boomer generation as boomers represent the majority of ostomy patients and are more comfortable on the internet. Additionally, with an average respondent age of 62 years, many stoma recipients have numerous years of life ahead of them, and will continue to search out new information regarding ostomy care. UON’s new website should also emphasize those whose ostomy surgery was a result of cancer or chronic bowel disease; as the majority of ostomy surgeries were due to these diseases. Many of those surveyed also described themselves as in good or very health, so promoting healthy behaviors is also a
It may mislead the readers to focus on chemotherapy instead of the effect of oral cryotherapy on the development of mucositis. Burns and Grove (2007) stated that “quantitative research is conducted to test theory by describing variables, examine relationships among variables, and determining cause-and-effect interactions between variables” (p.18). The title identified variables (mucositis and cryotherapy) and the relationship among them. Therefore it was a quantitative research. Author The researchers were an assistant professor and a professor.

The body parts and organs that were named have been successful in treating the patient’s condition. Discuss whether or not these artificial organs can permanently replace the original human organ. I believe in this day and time, that completely ruling out regular transplant would not be fair because there are so many people waiting for a transplant. I feel as though artificial organs cannot permanently take the place of original human organs because a patient might not react as well to an original human organ rather than an artificial one. My theory also is that eventually people will start bidding on artificial organs and the richer people will have say over a family that doesn't have a lot of money.
Although epoetin alfa has helped with end stage renal disease (ESRD) anemia significantly, there continue to be patients with ESRD who have anemia despite the use of epoetin alfa. This paper will address the administration of ascorbic acid and its effectiveness in increasing hemoglobin results in patients who are not responding to epoetin alfa use alone and will also discuss the adverse effects found in the addition of ascorbic acid. This paper will also summarize the research study used to obtain the information and discuss its significance in nursing. Background of Study The questions the researcher asked when researching this topic were. 1.
Why can’t we do this today? Well, many experts today know the technique of cloning and are perfecting it every year. Truly, Huxley’s Brave New World is far from today’s society, although scientists have the abilities to clone as in Brave New World. In the novel, it is said that they “…can make one ovary yield us over fifteen thousand adult individuals." The Brave New World has the ability to clone humans at an outstanding rate with every clone a success.
You have to make sure that all research is valid and reliable. Surveys, observation, and experimental studies are some example of data collection methods. To determine which data method to use all depends on what type of research you are conducting. As I mentioned earlier about the cure of cancer, this will have to require an experimental study, because you need for the data to provide a logical, systematic way to answer the question. I would suggest if you are a beginner investigator not to use this type of data
Alzheimer’s place on that list seems appropriate, but despite the funding, little progress has been made. Contrarily, most other diseases have seen significant progress in their research, including the three more funded than Alzheimer’s. In regards to the advancement in cancer research, “the growth in our knowledge of cancer biology has led to remarkable progress in cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment in recent years,” (www.cancer.org) and that, “Cancer research is currently advancing on so many fronts that it is difficult to choose the ones to highlight” (www.cancer.org). With HIV/AIDS, not only are there a number of precautions to take to prevent one’s self from contracting the disease, but there have also been numerous advancements with drugs to help treat the disease in order to live a normal life with the disease. The advancements in regards to heart disease have been so significant that they have helped increase the average life expectancy, as the National Institute of Health explains, “Between 1970 and 2000, the life expectancy of the average American increased by 6 years, and nearly 4 years of this gain is due to reductions in cardiovascular disease deaths.” Researchers have yet to find any method to successfully prevent Alzheimer’s disease, and there have not been any advancement in medicine to treat patients diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
The results were so dramatic it caused the medical community to reevaluate current practices to improve rapid cognition of their decisions. The study reported a 70 percent increase in recognizing patients not having a cardiac incident compared to current practices. Cardiac pain prediction is an early intervention tool identifying patients confirmed as high risk for immediate assignment to the appropriate care level unit. "Doctors guessed right on the most serious patients somewhere between 75 and 89 percent of the time." (Gladwell, 2005 pp.
