Grades Are In Cleveland Clinic On Top Again! Vladimir Rigaud Introduction to Health Service Management SPRB11 Sec1 Professor Klense May 26, 2011 Abstract In the past, people had no way of knowing how good or how bad a hospital performed services on patients. With the internet usage worldwide, we the patients are now more informed and are able to select a top notch hospital which we feel would assist in improving or extending our quality of life. One such hospital which I am proud to inform you of, a top 100 hospital, a hospital which provides specialties in various aspects of patient care is no other than the Cleveland Clinic. In this brief essay, I will introduce to you why I feel that Cleveland Clinic is Americas Top 100 hospital.
b) Halons are a group of chemical compounds with one or more halogens linked making them a type of organic halide. Halons were key ingredients to certain aerosol sprays such as deodorant and hair spray. The elimination caused manufacturers to alter the chemical makeup of the sprays, and quite frankly turned me to using solid deodorant as opposed to aerosol sprays. c) Carbon tetrachloride is one of the most potent hepatotoxins, meaning it is very harmful to the liver. This compound was once used as a pesticide for killing insects in stored grain.
Dr Fiona discovered that even though some skin sheets, which were produced in 10 days, had holes in them applied to the skin of the patient within that time, the area healed quicker and reduces scarring, this is due to the cells being not totally achieved to confluence. The historical Development of organ and stem cell transplantation Organ transplantation is the supreme advancement of the second half of 20th century. The development of transplantation has incorporated almost all medical specialities. In the cooperation and exchange of knowledge and experience among scientists, surgeons and physicians in attaining a
Maggot Therapy for Wound Cleaning For centuries, sterile larvae of the green bottle fly, Lucilia sericata, have proven useful in the medical field. Maggots feed off of dead tissue and excrete powerful alkaline enzymes while doing so; medical-grade, sterile maggots can be placed on open wounds to eradicate any existing bacteria and decomposing tissue, leaving behind clean flesh (Čeřovský et al., 2014). Approximately two hundreds maggots consume up to fifteen grams of bacteria and dead tissue every day (Wollina et al., 2000). The elimination of the bacteria creates a healthy environment for new tissue to develop (Gottrup and Jørgense, 2011). First used by Mayan practitioners and later used by war doctors, these fly larvae acted as modern-day
Given that mycotoxins may have carcinogenic properties, you should immediately remove yourself from any black mold environment and have the spores professionally removed. Black Mold vs. Other Molds • All molds can potentially cause respiratory symptoms as the spores enter your lungs, but not all molds contain pathogens or mycotoxins. Some of the more common household molds, like Penicillium and and Cladosporium, are far less harmful and only pose a threat to asthma sufferers and people with respiratory conditions. The toxigenic molds, like Aspergillus and of course black mold, can pose a threat to
Preston also produces an effective atmosphere of fear by displaying that doctors, who are almost always viewed as being heroic, can just as easily, if not so faster than any human being, get the virus. Preston constantly reminds us of how tiny and how dangerous a virus is. The impact of Ebola or Marburg could extinguish the entire planet if it got a grip. “Within 24 hours, a virus could make its way out of Africa on a plane and into such places like London, Paris, or New York and then spread out to the rest of the world.” The tiny HIV virus has already spread damage throughout the human population of the world, and this is a point the author makes numerous times. A very minute amount of contaminated blood is enough to infect a human with the Ebola virus, so those working in the Hot Zone must always be careful for the smallest little tear that might allow it into their space suits.
Peyton Rous The Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1966 Before Peyton died at the age of ninety, he acquired many accomplishments during his lifetime. He had been acclaimed as an outstanding leader in the field of pathology and particularly in cancer research. Before he received the well-merited award of a Noble prize in 1966, he had worked nonstop for about fifty years and was able to discover numerous astonishing facts, however, through many of those years, his research and hypothesis about cancer causing viruses were greatly disregarded. Rous, however, was extremely excited and interested in every new fact that he discovered during his research. This fulfilled his life and gave him great satisfaction.
Lupus Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body. Chronic means the signs and symptoms go wrong with your immune system, which is part of the body that fights off virus, bacteria, and germs. Lupus is also a disease of flares, (the symptoms worsen and you fill ill) and remissions (the symptoms improve and you feel better). The immune system goes into overdrive and can’t tell difference between some of the body’s normal, healthy cells and germs that can cause infection. So the immune system responds by making antibodies that attack the body’s normal cells.
Morphine is derived from Opium. Many people were suffering from alcohol addiction and Morphine was used as the “cure” for the alcohol addiction. Morphine is far worse than alcohol and doctors were well aware. Doctors preferred to have people addicted to Morphine because it was socially and domestically safer. Alcoholics were more likely to beat their wives and children and cause havoc upon the city (“The Problem of Pain Relief”).
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.
