Analysis Of Ted-Ed: Is It Bad To Hold Your Pee

Anticholinergics are used to address an overactive bladder and can be helpful with urge incontinence. Mirabegron is used to treat urge incontinence, it relaxed the bladder muscle which can increase the amount of urine the bladder can hold it may also assist with emptying the bladder more completely. Alpha blockers used in men with urge or overflow incontinence, this helps relax the bladder neck muscles and the fiber muscles in the prostate making it easier to empty the bladder. Topical estrogen comes in the form of a cream, a ring or a patch that may help tone and rejuvenate the tissue of urethra and vaginal areas. Factors that increase the risk of incontinence are gender; women are more likely to have incontinence due to pregnancy, childbirth, menopause and normal anatomy of the female body. Men with prostate problems can have incontinence issues as well. Age, as we get older, the muscles of the bladder become weaker and the amount of urine the bladder can hold decreases. Being overweight puts pressure on the bladder and surrounding muscles which weakens them. Other diseases such as neurological and diabetes may increase the risk of incontinence. A simple UTI is treated with a common antibiotic usually given for one to seven days depending on the amount and type of bacteria in the urine. Frequent UTI’s may require low-dose antibiotics for six months or more,

“Stop trying to be good people.” It is only human to be biased. However, the problem begins when we allow our bigotry to manifest into an obstacle that hinders us from genuinely getting to know people. Long time diversity lawyer, Verna Myers, in her 2014 Ted Talk, “How to overcome our biases? Walk boldly toward them” discusses the implicit biases we may obtain when it comes to race, specifically black men. Myers purpose is quite like the cliché phrase “Face your fears.” Her goal is to impress upon us that we all have biases (conscious or unconscious). We just have to be aware of them and face them head on, so that problems such as racism, can be resolved. Throughout the Ted Talk, Verna Myers utilizes an admonishing

Incontinence is one of the major problems faced by the elderly. Nurses can play a significant role in discovering continence problems (Lea R.et.al.2007). Urinary incontinence is the unintentional passing of urine. It is a very common problem and is thought to affect more than 50 million people in the developed world.(NHS.UK). To identify the problem and provide necessary treatment at the early stage, a thorough physical assessment is necessary.

First, neurological disorders can occur, as seen with Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, which can lead to neurogenic bladder (“Neurology/Neurogenic Bladder,” 2017). Next, physiological disorders can occur as seen with enlarged prostate in men or shortening of the urethra in women (Jaipaul, 2017). Anticipating the above changes appropriately will aid in understanding what leads to urinary retention in older adults, the resulting need of catheterizations, and the CAUTIs that can follow. Having a foundation to build on, it would be beneficial to explore what nurses can do prevent urinary tract infections in patients who require catheterization.

The function of bladder is to hold urine the bladder is a sort of pouch found in the end of the genito-urinarian tract. Its function is to retain the urine of the body until it can be released to the urethra and out of the body.

Father gets up once during night to empty his bladder and mother reports problems with bladder leakage from stress incontinence(Johnson family, personal communication, June 24, 2012).

The Olympics have been a way for athletes all over the world to prove they are the best at what they do, they train for years to hopefully earn a gold medal for their country. In the Ted Talk “Are Athletes Really Getting Faster, Better, Stronger?” By David Epstein, his argument presents positive outcomes of technological advancements athletes have today versus the past. However, he fails to mention the different training methods that were provided to the athletes to their time.

Urinary incontinence is loss of bladder control, which can happen to anyone, but it becomes more common with age. Symptoms of incontinence can range from mild leaking to uncontrollable wetting. If it is not managed on time, it can lead to embarrassment, stigmatization, and depression.

Behavioral treatments are conservative measures and are the first treatment option for patients with stress and urge incontinence. Behavioral treatments include; bladder training, pelvic muscle exercises, biofeedback and cognitive therapy. With bladder training it helps the individual from going to the toilet less frequently. Bladder training can be seen from two dimensions, going to the bathroom on schedule and also using strategies to control your bladder from urgent urine. This as a whole involves some time to practice. However, people with dementia and some other health cognitive complications cannot practice this. You may start by trying to hold off for 10 minutes every time you feel an urge to urinate. The goal is to lengthen the time between trips to the toilet until you're urinating only every two to four hours (the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, 2011).

I think much of what Harris claims in his TED talk is true, such as the existence of right and wrong answers related to morality and the foolishness of valuing every opinion when it comes to morality. However, I think he fails to provide any real support for his main opening claim: that science can answer the hardest questions of morality and why we're here. Sure, we may use the accurate scientific knowledge that a monkey has more emotional feeling than an ant to decide the monkey's life is of more value than the ant, but this knowledge cannot logically support whether killing the monkey is right or wrong. I also disagree with his idea that overall human well-being can be measured comparably to physical health. While I agree that science

In the human body, there are systems that provide different functions and help the body to operate more efficiently. The urinary system is one in particular designed to help the body remain free of excess that we no longer need. “The urinary tract is the drainage system used for removing wastes and extra water. The urinary tract includes two kidneys, two ureters, a bladder, and a urethra. The kidneys are a pair of “bean-shaped” organs, each about the size of a fist. The kidneys are located below the ribs, one on each side of the spine, towards the middle of the back.” (NIDDK, 2013) Every several minutes, your kidneys filter around three ounces of blood, also then removing wastes and extra water. That extra water and

I choose to do my ethical Analysis on a ted talk given by Dalia Mogahed. Dalia is a very big name in the Muslim America household. She is an advice for President Barack Obama. Dalia is the Director of Research at the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. The topic of the ted talk was: What do you think when you look at me. This speech was about how Americans view Muslims. She also talked about how September 11 affected her and her family. Dalia also talked about how fear affects not only her but also everyone in America. Dalia gave this speech as a responds to President candidate Donald trump started soldering Muslims.

Urinary Incontinence is the accidental or unwanted leakage of urine causes by a loss of bladder control. (www.womenhealthmatters.ca). The need

Several studies suggest that these programs don’t even succeed in breeding fear. In 2007 a study conducted by the Department of Health and Human Services found that abstinence only until marriage education does not even succeed in delaying the onset of sexual activity. (Watkins, “Absinence Education Not Effective”) By providing incomplete or biased information to adolescents, we are taking away their ability to make informed decisions about their bodies that may carry over throughout their adult lives. For example, in 2009 a group of 800 high school students was surveyed, 32% were unaware that oral sex can transmit infections other than HIV. Supporters don’t argue that official funding from the government began in 1996, but cry that it’s a

How many of us really think about our ability to urinate, I know I never did, but for my Uncle and Cousin, they could only wish to do what comes so naturally to us. When you have kidney disease and suffer Renal failure, which is what both of my relative's had, the kidneys are unable to remove those wastes through urinating. When the kidneys no longer perform these functions adequately, wastes and excess fluid build up in the blood. Some of the warning signs of kidney disease are as follows:
