Abstract:

Statement of the Problem: Nurses and other health care professionals have experienced limitations in expansion of holistic and integrative medicine into standard health care practices. While conventional medicine excels in acute care, holistic and integrative health focuses on utilizing the best of all global healing traditions to prevent disease and improve health outcomes. Research demonstrates that chronic diseases like CV disease, dementia and diabetes can be dramatically improved through lifestyle. Despite extensive data demonstrating improved patient outcomes, organizational restrictions, lack of resources and education and limited awareness of ways to introduce and practice these approaches to healing have remained a barrier. Insight and solutions to incorporating new approaches in practice are needed; the world suff ers from chronic diseases that are largely preventable. Th is session explores the work pioneered in North America to transform health care and the health care system utilizing a holistic treatment model which integrates conventional and natural medicine. Conclusion & Signifi cance: Nurses and other healthcare providers want guidance and education to enhance patient care and treatment with holistic and integrative medicine approaches; however, institutional systems and/or lack of resources and awareness oft en inhibit this evolution. Recommendations are made to increase awareness of how to introduce and practice holistic and integrative medicine anywhere.

Abstract:

Neurology disorders and diseases ranging from acute to chronic are commonplace in the emergency room. It is essential to identify relevant patients and treat them as outpatients or admit them to the hospital as quickly as possible. We can also reduce the burden on the emergency care by providing better tools for monitoring chronic patients through a combination of symptom tracking and direct measurements. Our technology is a game-changing twist on traditional surface, subdural, and cortical electrodes; it will redefi ne the measurement environment as a future novel implant technology by extending it beyond the clinic into the patient's real life. Th e electrode is the key element for long-term monitoring implants. Our long-term aim is to integrate direct EEG measurements with our downloadable SOENIATM Medical Diary to provide detailed symptom records available to primary care neurologists as well as emergency staff.

Abstract:

Integral Pelvic Th erapy (IPT) is a holistic form of pelvic fl oor therapy for women, with the aim of restoring balance in the pelvic area. Th is is done by using soft  external and internal massage techniques in which concepts such as consent, presence and the capacity of slowing down are essential, suitable for every woman who simply wants to know more about her body, sexuality or general wellbeing. But also to treat conditions like a numb feeling in the pelvic area, dyspareunia, sexual trauma, hyper-hypotone pelvic fl oor, stress/urge incontinence, organ prolapse or chronic infl ammations around the area of the vulva and as preparation before, during and birth. Th e IPT- practitioner works only aft er an embodied felt consent in the feminine body, so the client has an autonomous position, where she can receive the touch, instead of undergoing the treatment. For most women, this way of touching makes all the diff erence in feeling violated or not and can be applied in any case in the health care. An IPT-practitioner works with an extremely sensitive touch where full presence is required to notice the slightest change in color, tone and breathing of the client. Case study: One Client 34 years old she got stabile marriage and gives birth 1.5 years ago. She is having severe pain in het vulva area, since she was at age 15. She feels the vulvar skin cracking during intercourse and due to the pain, she not intimate with her partner anymore. Th is is causing relationship issues. She went to the gynecologist, dermatologist, sexologist, pelvic fl oor therapist and at a psychologist. She had ultrasounds and a MRI-scan. She was diagnosed with Vulvary Vestibulitis Syndrome but no therapy helped. At last her psychologist was aimed at acceptance of the pain. At this point she felt devasted and came to me for help. Treatment was applied to give a soft  stretch on the fasciae of the inner labia were tension and small restrictions were felt. Th is gave the client confi rmation about her pain. Slowly, with a lot patience, the restrictions melted away and the area of the vulva became less painful. Due to the memory of painful intercourse and medical examinations, stored emotions came loose. Aft er two treatments, the client could receive an external and internal touch without pain, for the fi rst time aft er 19 years. Th is is not a single case. I have worked with many clients like the above. Th e combination of presence, consent and touch with awareness, seems to have an incredible benefi cial eff ect on the emotional and physical layer in a women’s body. It is time for research, so this form of therapy can be accepted as a full form of complementary care in womans pelvic health.

Abstract:

Learning lung sounds (auscultation) requires repetitive listening to diff erent areas of the chest. Th is virtual reality tool will assist students in knowing where to place the stethoscope on the chest to enable them to diff erentiate between normal and abnormal chest sounds in clinical practice. Th e THORAX is developed as a tool that can be uploaded to any virtual learning environment and utilizes a rotatable torso with full sets of lungs sound were recorded from individual patients; thus providing an authentic experience of full respiratory auscultation. THORAX consists of two sections. Th e fi rst section is a training section that utilizes sanitized and fi ltered lungs sounds to acclimatize the student to the variant sounds possible. Th e second section utilizes sets of recordings that consist of 12 recordings per patient. Th ese recordings will enable students to localize problems to particular lobes and also contain ambient sounds such as the heart and gut sounds that contribute to authentic lung auscultation.

Abstract:

India is a booming economy, though it is challenged by an ever-growing population and a perennially burdened health care system. Government hospitals struggle to provide quality care and health insurances are not yet within the reach of the common man. Emergency departments are in dearth and emergency transfers lack promptness and standardized practices. Th e infrastructure does not support air transfers (helicopter services) to all zones and also unaff ordable by the majority of its citizens. Road ambulances are not quick enough, needless to say unapproachable in some urban and majority of rural areas. Call centres are not yet professional enough to cope up with the medical emergency needs of the country. With all these limitations and aff ordability issues, having to respond promptly to emergencies within the golden hour for this large population with a conservative mindset, there had to be a concept which could fi rst be aff ordable and also accessible to the larger society. An insight into how for the fi rst time in India, the urgent care concept evolved. How an urgent care is made aff ordable to the people. What are the advantages of an urgent care center in your own locality and what are the diffi  culties of running an urgent care center in a large developing nation? Why urgent care centers are quickly becoming the preferred choice over traditional physician appointments and emergency room visits. Peek into the heart of an Indian urgent care center which could be the future of prompt emergency care in this diverse cultural land.

Abstract:

Trauma is a global burden and one of the most common reasons for mortality and morbidity worldwide. With the advance in urbanization, the incidence of trauma has increased a lot. Th is magnitude is aff ecting the young generation more than the extremes of the age. Trauma affl  icted critical patients need a timely management and if provided in time the outcome is too good. Th e management needs insight about the presentation, mechanism and other associated factors. Th ese all aspects need to be kept in mind while resuscitating such a critically ill patient. Since so many years the age old ATLS guidelines help us in managing the trauma patients and it serves well in achieving good outcome for such cases. But since a lot has changed in fi eld of medicine due to a great quantum of research, trauma management also needs to be updated regularly. Th e ATLS guidelines do keep us giving new updates in management of trauma cases but such guidelines take years together to be updated. While as applying evidence-based approach in resuscitating critically ill trauma cases makes us to be updated to the best and gives us the best primary outcome in such cases. And even applying the EB approach keeps us in the limelight of best practices of resuscitation. So many things are not touched in ATLS guidelines which can be brought into clinical practice as they have been well studied in various RCTs, meta-analysis or systematic reviews, e.g. resuscitation sequence intubation, newer ventilation strategies, fl uid management and initiation of blood products transfusion, MTP protocol, damage control resuscitation and damage control surgery, etc. Time is here that we need to think out of the box while managing our precious patients in day to day life.
 

Biography:

Abstract:

Background: Dementia is a general term for a number of progressive, organic brain diseases, characterized by memory loss and degeneration of cognitive skills. Most neurodegenerative diseases that lead to dementia are characterized by processes that result in the aberrant polymerization of proteins, and a small proportion of subjects with these diseases develop dementia as a direct result of the presence of mutations or polymorphisms in genes that infl uence these processes. Th e most common cause of dementia, and the best studied, is Alzheimer’s disease. Other important causes include vascular dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and frontotemporal dementia. Management of dementia is largely focused on helping caregivers to cope with the increase in physical dependence of patients as the disease progresses, or with the emergence of troublesome neuropsychiatric symptoms.  Cholinesterase inhibitors and N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonists off er some help in ameliorating the inevitable cognitive decline found in Alzheimer’s disease. Although considered as discrete entities, these diseases are not mutually exclusive and mixed pathologies are common.  Th e etiology of dementia is determined by the underlying causative disease. By age 100, the number spikes to 60 percent. Of those who develop dementia, roughly 60 percent will prove to have Alzheimer’s disease. It’s predicted that the current number of patients with Alzheimer’s disease in the United States is roughly 5 million. In Th e United States, average month costs per patient totaling for nursing home care (approximately $19,900), followed by out-of-pocket spending (approximately $8,200), formal home care (approximately $12,700), and Medicare (approximately $9,700). Due to demographic developments, it is expected that by the year 2050, the number of persons suff ering from a moderately severe or severe dementia among the population over the age of 65 years will total more than two million cases. Worldwide, there are now an estimated 24 million people living with some form of dementia. Without a major medical breakthrough in the fi ght against dementia, this number could jump to as many as 84 million who have age-related memory loss by the year 2040. Method: Qualitative research, methods and methodologies, has received increased attention in health care research, and data collect is still being collected at this present time. In the fi eld of dementia care qualitative research has been used extensively to study the lived experience of family members and more particular family caregivers. In particular burden and coping have been paid attention to. In addition to the domain of the care for persons suff ering from dementia. Our qualitative research is oft en used to study the lived experience of health care our “clients”, their perception of their situation and the meaning they give to the situation they are in. It allows uncovering processes at play in dealing situations in care giving and ward atmosphere have been fruitfully studied using this method. Observation studies, oft en using video-registration, can help to understand care processes in dementia care, in addition to clinical trials. Signifi cance: Th e prevalence of dementia rises steeply with increasing age and although there are a number of forms of dementia, Alzheimer's disease is the most common, and most well-known, of the age-related memory loss diseases. Currently, more than fi ve million Americans suff er from Alzheimer's, and it is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. About 13% of Americans over the age of 65 have Alzheimer's and half of those over age 85 will develop Alzheimer's or a closely related dementia.Result: To date, mutations in three genes (amyloid precursor protein, presenilin 1 and presenilin 2) have been described which lead to this early form of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia related illnesses. Th ese mutations all have the same eff ect, which is the increased production of a longer version of bamyloid peptide (42 amino acids compared with 40 amino acids); this aggregates to form a condensed core of amyloid protein that becomes surrounded by degenerating neurites. Th ese relatively large extracellular structures, known as plaques, are a characteristic feature of both sporadic and inherited Alzheimer’s. While current drug therapies only treat the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, researchers have great hope that in the near future there will be treatments that can stop or slow Alzheimer's. Many clinical studies focus on fi nding better ways to accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease, particularly in the early stages. Th ese studies will hopefully lead to a trusted method that enables physicians to diagnose persons at risk for the disease even before symptoms appear and begin treatment in time to prevent the development of dementia. Until such time, we found that through the in-home clinical assessment results, proves positive and signifi cant qualitative outcomes for both clients suff ering from dementia and their caregivers.
