Similarities And Differences

This study is intended to provide an exhaustive comparison of various non-local fractional operators when analyzing the mechanics of breathing performed by a ventilator. We present the solutions of the fractional respiratory mechanics model mainly for allowing the health care team to monitor patients' conditions in detail. The aim is to introduce the underlying model flexibly by making use of the advantages of the non-integer order operators with one, two, and three parameters. On the other hand, since we concern the usage of different types of fractional operators, most often having virtue in the application, it can be clearly observed the similarities and differences between these operators. Moreover, we observe the mobility of the solutions curves of the above-stated fractional model for different values of the parameters $\alpha$, $\rho$, and $\gamma$ with the help of many graphs.

The relationship between the doctor and the patient is a particular type of human relation. On one hand, the word «patient» states that a person is at a disadvantage, because of his/her illness, and therefore is automatically at a disadvantageous position compared to the doctor. On the other hand, the patient has the opportunity to inform him/herself from online sources, to communicate with other patients, to participate as equal and to choose consciously his/her treatment plan.There are many different types of patients depending on their personality and interaction with their doctor. These types constituted a research field in the 80’s which lead to the analysis of patients’ psychology. After an historical flashback, patients are put in categories according to their reaction to their illness. In addition, the verbal way of approaching patients by their doctor, the patients’ expectations and their encouragement by professionals to participate more actively concerning their health care is underlined. As a result, this is the beginning of a new era, where the patient has requirements concerning both the medical and the human aspect of the doctor-patient relationship.

The Committee on Hospital Care (COHC) was indeed remiss in failing to include the hospital pharmacist in the list and description of essential unit personnel in its statement "Staffing Patterns for Patient Care and Support Personnel in a General Pediatric Unit."1 The omission was truly unintentional and unfortunate. We sincerely appreciate Dr Oddis' valuable comments and wholeheartedly concur with his message that pharmacists provide many essential services both to patients and the other members of the health care team on the pediatric unit.

Introduction: Hemodialysis is the most common method - used to remove waste and toxic substances from the body, hence it is used to treat patients of different types of renal failure. Upto 1960s, attempts were made to reduce the side/adverse effects associated with hemodialysis and to make hemodialysis an effective therapy. Now-a-days many advanced and sophisticated dialysis machines have been designed which make dialysis therapy more convenient and promising. Hemodialysis therapy requires complete coordination between the health care team which includes nephrologists, dietitian, nurse, technician and social worker. Patient and his/her family also coordinate the procedure to make hemodialysis more effective. But even with the use of modern and effective dialysis machines for therapy patients may still suffer from different types of complications.Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe those complications and also their management during and after dialysis. Place and conducted year:Data was collected by convenience sampling technique in local hospital of LahoreinDecember, 2016. Study design: Retrospective approach was used and notices the case history of 100 patients.Methods:Retrospective approach was used and the case history of 100 patients (from morning and evening shifts) who had hemodialysis over a 1-5 year period was noted. Demographic and clinical data of patients who died during dialysis were compared to the control group comprised of the survivors of hemodialysis. Data was analyzed using SPSS IBM version 16. Result:In this study it was observed that patients may suffer from various complications. 38% patients suffered from hypotension, 13% patients suffered from cramps, Itching was observed in 15% of patients, Vomiting was observed in 18% of the patients and in 5% patients dialysis reaction was observed. In order to manage these complications normal saline and 5% dextrose were administered to the patients. Hydrocortisone Sodium Succinate was administered intravenously in order to manage dialyzer reaction and session was postponed. Although hemodialysis is beneficial but it poses certain risks as well.Conclusion:Hemodialysis is associated with various life threatening complications however these complications occur in low frequency and these can be managed and prevented by various protective therapies by health care team and medical staff.

This study was carried out to understand the perceptions and expectations of the other health care professionals about pharmacists' role in primary health care centers and hospitals in Santiago de Cuba (Cuba). A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted, applying a self-administered questionnaire to health care professionals. The sample included 763 professionals (40.9% physicians and 59.1 % nurses) from hospitals and primary health care clinics, chosen by random stratified sampling,. The most common activity performed by pharmacists was the distribution of medications or the drug supply management (51.5%) and adverse drug reactions reporting (29.4%), activities performed daily by pharmacists. Pharmaceutical care practice was considered as poor by the professionals, and only 15.6% of them have collaborated in these programs in the past. For nurses and physicians, interprofessional communication occurs sometimes (56.9%) and never (25.8%). Pharmacists' integration into the health team was considered as fair (50.7%). A total of 70.1% perceived the pharmacist as a drug expert and 60.1% as a professional who provides medication counseling. The main expectations these health care professionals expressed were that pharmacists provide more education about medication (97.4%) and improve their interprofessional communication techniques in order to communicate more effectively with the other members of the health care team (96.6%).

Different Levels

Coordination of health care exists at many different levels and in many different forms. We describe the similarities and differences in coordination mechanisms among the Nordic countries. In some respects, the Nordic countries approach coordination problems in similar ways although differences exist. The overall pattern shows that Finland and Sweden have less country-wide coordination compared with the other countries. There are many questions and few answers with regard to which mechanisms work best. Hence, coordination mechanisms in health care seem to be an important area for further research. We outline a few topics for future joint Nordic research in this area.Published: April 2016.

Similarities And Differences

The oral form-discrimination abilities of 18 orally educated and oriented deaf high school subjects were determined and compared to those of manually educated and oriented deaf subjects and normal-hearing subjects. The similarities and differences among the responses of the three groups were discussed and then compared to responses elicited from subjects with functional disorders of articulation. In general, the discrimination scores separated the manual deaf from the other two groups, particularly when differences in form shapes were involved in the test. The implications of the results for theories relating orosensory-discrimination abilities are discussed. It is postulated that, while a failure in oroperceptual functioning may lead to disorders of articulation, a failure to use the oral mechanism for speech activities, even in persons with normal orosensory capabilities, may result in poor performance on oroperceptual tasks.
