Khat and liver; The effect of khat on liver can be considered as herbal induced liver injury but the big dilemma is whether the insult is due to the active components themselves or the added fertilizers and pesticides. Unfortunately no studies are available comparing the effect of khat on liver disease in both conditions. Amphetamine is known to exert different forms of hepatotoxicity in-vivo and in-vitro when tested on hepatocytes (Carvalho et al.,

Enterococcus Faecalis In 1899, Thiercelin found a new gram positive diplococcus that he named enterocoque, suggesting that he believed that this bacterium had something to do with the intestines. He also described finding this bacterium in patients who had enteritis, appendicitis and meningitis (Murray). In 1906, Andrewes and Hoarder isolated this same bacterium from a patient suffering from endocarditis and they also discovered a relationship with urinary tract infections. They named it Streptococcus

An acute cause of abdominal pain in the 50-year-old male would consist of biliary disease like acute cholecystitis (Sullivan, 2011).

Diabetes has several negative effects on the body. Diabetes can effect wound healing, infection, and weight. When it comes to diabetes, many factors play a role in the reasons why wound healing takes place slowly. The most evident factor, and the root of most of the other factors, is high blood sugar levels. The high blood sugar levels lead to artery stiffness and vessel narrowing. Being that the vessels are narrowed, blood circulation will be very poor. Blood circulation involves red blood cells

Introduction Core measures are measures used to monitor the use of recommended treatments that scientific evidence shows produce the best results. (Mayo clinic, 2013) Research has found that using core measures will reduce the risk of complications and prevent recurrence and will treat the majority of patients who are in the hospital with similar diagnosis. National patient safety goals improve patient safety. Moreover, their goals are to focus on problems involving health care safety and how
