The current study was designed to explore whether people with chronic musculoskeletal pain show interpretation bias favoring pain-related interpretations of ambiguous real-world images with both possible pain-related and non-pain related interpretations. The results did not support the hypothesis that chronic musculoskeletal pain participants, compared to healthy control participants, would interpret ambiguous real-world images in pain-related ways. No significant effects were found for written responses

The Chronic Care Model and Management of COPD The chronic condition selected by this author to be managed with the chronic care model is Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Chronic Care Model (CCM) is a research-based method of managing chronic illness with an emphasis on the dissemination of information and disease management strategies (Nickitas, Middaugh, & Aries, 2011, p. 320). A thorough educational approach to managing the symptoms of COPD has the potential to help patients

In many cases, the preferred treatment for chronic organ failure is organ transplantation. Organ transplantation involves replacing the organs that have failed in their functions. The lives of many people, including children, has been prolonged when organ transplantation was performed successfully. Organ transplantation has become a major public health issue in the United States due to its attributable death rate and to its excessive cost. The number of organs which are offered for transplantation

Chronic kidney disease is a worldwide public health problem and has been defined by the presence of injury and / or loss of renal function (glomerular filtration rate - GFR) within 3 (three) months or more, regardless of diagnosis ¹. As renal function declines, there are changes in various organs of children and adolescents with CKD2. Such manifestations may include changes in bone formation, anemia, arterial hypertension, polyuria, metabolic disorders, asthenia and infections, which may affect

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a condition when the function of kidney goes down progressively. This decrease of kidney function leads to renal failure which requires dialysis and transplantation. There are five stages of CKD. Each level reflects the damage of kidney and estimate the kidney function. The glomerular filltratior rate (GFR) is the basic of determination the stage. In stage 3, patients are treated to slow down the drop of kidney function. In the US, 13% of general population

kidneys can no longer function to sustain day to day life, it is diagnosed as chronic kidney disease (CKD) or end stage renal disease (ESRD). In the United States, chronic kidney disease has been on the rise. Through laboratory testing, early stages of kidney disease can be identified. Chronic kidney disease is a public health issue costing a lot of money and minimal results. There is not a specific treatment to stop chronic kidney disease. It is possible that there is no single

your urine. Initially, there may not be very many signs or symptoms present. As a result, chronic renal failure may not become apparent until kidney function is significantly impaired. It is not uncommon for signs and symptoms to develop over time if kidney damage progresses slowly. With that being said, signs and symptoms of renal failure are often nonspecific and can be caused by other illnesses. Chronic renal failure usually occurs when a disease or condition impairs kidney function such as diabetes

Chronic kidney disease is defined as renal damage that has resulted in a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of less than 60 ml/min and has persisted longer than three months. The disease is irreversible and treatment must be maintained to preserve the quality of life. Management involves eliminating or controlling factors that may potentially cause additional damage to the kidneys. The leading cause of chronic kidney disease is diabetes mellitus, followed by untreated systemic hypertension. Less common
