Throughout history, only men were used for research subjects, and it was assumed that the female anatomy was essentially the same as men, not including reproductive organs. Because of this, clinical trials were male centric, and women were not well represented in research; therefore, women’s health and

The psychosocial needs of the people sixty five and over are different to other age groups. Therefore making it an extremely influential factor in the way paramedics strategies their communication, overall care and performance. With increase in age comes health deterioration, and this can also come with certain expectations and stereotypes. These stereotypes can be both negative and positive (Nemmers, 2004), however, this can have a detrimental effect upon a person aged over sixty five when it comes to how they are treated within the general public. Paramedics must be aware of these bias’ and stereotypes among “ageism” and reflect upon their treatment methods to ensure that they have made a conscious and appropriate effort to eliminate all possible situations that may be perceived by patients as negative or patronising; this will increase the quality of care the patient is receiving.

It was the summer before my senior year of high school. I was supposed to be visiting colleges, working a minimum wage job and relaxing on the beach. Instead, I was lying in a hospital bed with my jaw wired shut. I had just gotten orthognathic surgery, or in more human terms, double jaw surgery. My surgeon had just sliced my jaws into multiple pieces in order to fuse them into the perfect position. I always knew this day would come but I never thought it would come so fast.

The interaction with an elderly patient’s was the main source of contemplation this week. The stereotypical thinking that most people will exhibit when interacting with an older population may bring the unwanted outcome to older patient treatment.

This study is a retrospective descriptive design. Kaw et al. explored the correlation between OSA and increased postoperative complications. The population was chosen from 39,771 patients who participated in preoperative physical exam and assessment at the Internal Medicine Preoperative Assessment Consultation and Treatment center from January 2002 through December 2006. Of those, 1,759 patients had noncardiac surgery and a polysomnography (PSG) within three years. The exclusion criteria were patients under the age of 18 years, any upper airway surgery, a tracheostomy, or an ear, nose, or throat surgery, minor

The goal of this study is to see if women in the medical field experience

As with any invasive surgical procedure, there is a certain amount of associated risk and complication. Some important complications surrounding any operative procedures utilizing general anesthesia include bleeding, respiratory decompensation, infection, and relapse. Outcome and prognosis of Lefort procedures depend on many factors before, during, and after surgery. Major anatomical complications reported with Lefort I osteotomy include nasal septum deviation, ophthalmic and lacrimal duct injury, malocclusion or mal-union of the maxilla, and injury to stenson’s duct. A reciprocating saw is generally utilized to perform the osteotomy with sufficient cooling methods to reduce heat damage to the underlying bone. Overheating puts bony structures at risk of osteonecrosis. Separation of the nasal septum is crucial and care should be taken to avoid the nasotracheal tube on the side of nasal intubation. Sectioning the tube would compromise the patient’s airway and cause significant risk to the procedure. Separation of the pterygoid plate from the maxillary tuberosity is another technique sensitive step during final completion of the osteotomy in the region of the infratemporal fossa (Patel).
