Freezing requires the addition of glycerol discount 5mg micronase overnight delivery, a cryoprotectant that enters the cells and limits the formation of intracellular crystals buy micronase 2.5mg overnight delivery. Platelets 0 Platelets are concentrated by centrifugation and stored at 20-24 C since refrigeration destroys their ability to aggregate. Granulocytes must be transfused as soon as collected, since it is not possible to preserve their function by storage at any temperature. Granulocyte transfusions are frequently accompanied by fever and respiratory symptoms in the recipient; these reactions can often be fatal. Immunity means the body’s ability to resist or eliminate harmful foreign materials or abnormal cells. The leukocytes and their derivatives defend against invasion by disease-causing microorganisms by phagocytizing the invaders or causing their destruction by more complex means; identify and destroy cancer cells that arise within the body phagocytize cellular debris resulting from dead or injured cells; it is essential for wound healing and tissue repair. They can be rapidly transferred from their site of production or storage to where ever they are needed There are five different types of leukocytes Leukocytes vary in number, function, and structure. Five different cells - neutrophils, eosinophils, basophiles, monocytes and lymphocytes - each have different characteristic morphology and function. Neutrophils, eosionphils, and basophiles are classed as polymorphonuclear granulocytes. They are classified on the basis of varying affinity of their granules to the red dye eosin and basic dye methylene blue. Monocytes and lymphocytes are mononuclear agranulocytes Leukocytes are produced at varying rates depending on the changing needs for defense of the body All leukocytes originate from the same undifferentiated pluripotential stem cells in the red bone marrow that also produce erythrocytes and platelets The bone marrow produces all circulating blood cells except lymphocytes, which are produced by lymphocyte colonies in lymphoid tissues. The myeloblast is the earliest recognizable precursor in the granulocyte series that is present in the red bone marrow. A series of four to five divisions are associated and the mature neutrophil, cytoplasmic granules develop. On entering the peripheral blood, neutrophils are almost equally divided into circulating and marginal pools, which are in a dynamic equilibrium. Thus, a large reserve capacity of phagocytes is available in the bone marrow, and a large fraction of the neutrophils present in the peripheral blood; they are ready for egress into the tissues in response to infection or inflammation. The average time from the start of granulopoiesis to the entry of the mature neutrophil into circulation is 10 to 13 days. The mature neutophil remain in the blood for only about 10 to 14 hours before entering the tissues, where it soon dies after performing phagocytic function. Monocytes spend a short time in the circulating blood before entering the tissues. However, they survive in tissues for variably long period; they become transformed into macrophages, long-lived phagocytic cells that retain some capacity for continuing cell division. There are other growth factors that promote the growth and differentiation of eosinophils and lymphoid cells. Prostaglandin E produced by macrophages inhibit the production of monocytes, and to some extent of neutrophils. In addition, lymphokines and interleukin-5 can cause accumulation of eosinophils in tissues. Eosinophils release several granule derived cationic proteins, including major basic proteins that cause local tissue damage in diseases such as asthma and the hypereosinophilic syndrome. These cationic proteins are beneficial when released as part of eosinophil count is found during most bacterial and viral infections. Stress, endogenous secretion of corticosteroids and exogenous glucocorticoids suppress the number of blood eosinphils Eosinophils cannot engulf a much larger parasitic worm, but they do attach to the worm and secrete substances that kill it. Basophil granules have a high content of histamine and play a role in acute, allergic reactions. Binding of antigen to adjacent cell-bound IgE triggers the release of mediators from basophils. Mast cells, however, are not present in the blood, but are found in the bone marrow and in mucosal and connective tissues. Basophilia is most often found with myelocytic leukemia and other meyloproliferative disorders. The lymphoid precursor cells travel to lymphoreticular organs, where they differentiate into cells capable of either expressing cell-mediated immune responses or secreting immunoglobulin. Antibody-producing cells probably processed by the tonsils or bone marrow (bursa of Fabricius) and T cells differentiate in the thymus gland. In normal person both small and large lymphocytes are found in the peripheral blood; the former far exceed the latter cell types. Atypical lymphocytes are seen in viral illnesses such as infectious mononucleosis. Mature monocyte are released into the circulation, enter the tissues, and there transform into the macrophages of the mononuclear phagocytic system also called reticuloendothelial system.

Overall it is a care given within the first 24 hours of delivery up to six weeks to: ♦ Prevent complications ♦ Restore to normal health ♦ Check to adequacy of breast-feeding ♦ Provide Family Planning service ♦ Give basic health information Complications during Postnatal period ♦ Puerperal sepsis/general infection ♦ Thrombo-phlebitis ♦ Secondary Haemorrhage ♦ Breast problems – engorgement buy micronase 2.5mg with mastercard, infection ♦ Incontinence – stool or urine 27 Family Health Care to the mother during postnatal period cheap micronase 5 mg mastercard. Breastfeeding Breast milk is: a perfect nutrient, easily digested, can be efficiently used and protects against infection. Disadvantages of Bottle Feeding Formula milk is expensive Formula needs to be accurately mixed for adequate nutrition Takes time for preparation Baby more susceptible to diseases and infection 30 Family Health Fuel is needed for heating water to mix the formula More than one bottle is needed Demonstration on getting sunlight for the baby. Supplementary Feeding • Wash hands before the preparation of child’s food • Start supplementary feeding when the baby reaches 6 months of age. It is a means of promoting the health of the women and families and part of a strategy to reduce the high maternal, infant and child morbidity and mortality. Objectives: General: Is to reduce morbidity and mortality of mothers and children by spacing child bearing, preventing unplanned and unwanted pregnancy. Specific: • To increase awareness, knowledge and skills of the community to utilize family planning services, • To increase utilisation of family planning services by households, • To prevent mothers from having too many pregnancies and children • To avert population growth rate, 33 Family Health • Prevent unwanted pregnancies and high risk abortions, • Promote active participation of males in family planning activities. Traditional family planning methods Breast-feeding method: When a mother breast-feeds her baby, the message concerning the feeding goes from the nipple to the vagus nerve and proceeds to the front-part of the pituitary gland in the brain. Then the pituitary gland 35 Family Health initiates the production of prolactin hormone to activate the milk producing glands in the breasts. The prolactin hormone again reduces the secretion of luteinizing hormone which initiates the normal menstrual cycle. The calendar method: If a woman has a regular cycle of 27 days, it is possible to know by subtracting from 27-18 and 27-11 the first and last days of ovulation respectively. Based on this calculation , the woman should avoid sexual intercourse between day 9 and day 19 of the menstrual cycle in order to prevent pregnancy. By the same token, women who have regular menstrual cycles of 28 days, to 30 days should avoid sexual intercourse between 10-17 days and 12-19 days respectively; this time they are safe to do sexual intercourse during the remaining 36 Family Health respective days. Using this natural / traditional method requires a strong discipline, thrust and good understanding between husband and wife or sexual partners. Withdrawal Method: This method uses the withdrawal or the pulling out of the male genital (penis) from the vagina, interrupting sexual intercourse just before ejaculation so that sperm does not enter the vagina. Modern Contraceptive Methods Combined oral contraceptive pills: Combined oral contraceptive is prepared from two hormones, estrogen and progestin. Mechanisms of action • Prevents ovulation; • Thicken cervical mucus making it difficult for the sperm to pass through; • Makes the lining of the uterus too thin for the fertilized egg to implant itself making it difficult for further development. In the first three rows are the combined oral 38 Family Health contraceptive pills, while the seven pills in the last row are body supportive pills made of minerals. Effectiveness • It is highly effective; • Avoids the fear of unwanted pregnancy during sexual intercourse; • Can be taken by any female that has reached puberty-age; • Pregnancy resumes immediately after interrupting the pills; • Prevents extra-uterine pregnancy; • Prevents unwanted pregnancy resulting from casual or unexpected sexual intercourse. Adverse effects • Nausea (the first three months); • Irregular menstruation or missed menses, • Headache; • Tenderness of the breast; • Weight increase; and • It is not the choice for breast-feeding mothers. Emergency contraception: Emergency contraception is a combined oral contraceptive pills method that women can use to prevent pregnancy expected from unprotected sexual intercourse /violence, rape/. However, it should be underlined that the use of such method is only limited to unprotected sexual intercourse, but is never for regular usage. Weaknesses • If previous pregnancy occurs, • Heart diseases, • High blood pressure, • Breast-feeding mother; and • Women who smoke and who are over 35 years old. Progestin only pill The content of progestin in the contraceptive pills is less than what is contained in the combined oral contraceptive pills. Weaknesses • Requires taking one pill every day without interruption and always at exactly the same time of the day and so is hard to always remember; • Less effective to prevent pregnancy compared to the combined oral contraceptive pills; and • Has problems such as irregularity of menstrual cycles, 42 Family Health Who uses single oral contraceptive pills? Procedures in the provision of single oral contraceptive pills: • Introduce yourself and greet politely the family planning service client; • Assess the client’s knowledge about family planning services and ask about her health conditions; • Ask if the client is on menstruation; • Register the client; • Show and demonstrate to the client the single oral contraceptive pills in the package; 43 Family Health • Carefully explain to the client to take one of the following steps; - To start taking the single contraceptive pills 24 hours after her menstruation started; or th - Start on the 5 day of menstrual period; • Carefully explain to the client to take every evening at the same time before sleep or sexual intercourse one pill from the package with water and without chewing; • The client should take regularly contraceptive pill every evening at the same time with or without sexual intercourse; • If the client forgets to take her pill, she must be told to take the missed pill and also continue on her normal schedule; • Even if the client forgets to take two successive pills, she must be told to take pills and continue on her normal schedule. In addition she must be advised to use condom; • A woman must be told to go to the health extension worker to seek advice when she faces health problems while on the single oral contraceptive pills; and • Carefully inform a woman who has received one-month supply of single oral contraceptive pills, to take the pills according to instructions and to come back on the exact date of next appointment. Mechanism of action • Condom holds the sperm and prevents it from spilling in the vagina and the cervix. Weaknesses • Most people are reluctant to use condoms; • Can be broken due to inappropriate use during sexual intercourse; 45 Family Health • Disposal of condoms need precaution • Creates itching feeling on the genitals of some males. Mechanism of action • Prevent ovulation; • Makes cervical mucus too thick and difficult for the sperm to pass through to the uterus; and • Makes the lining of the uterus too thin for the fertilized egg to implant itself. Who can use the injectables Clients who want to delay pregnancy for a specified time period; Clients who cannot take contraceptive estrogen containing contraceptive; Those who want to space birth; Comfortable and better quality contraceptive for many clients; Contraindications: Pregnancy or suspected for pregnancy; Vaginal bleeding that have not been medically cheeked and confirmed for any type of cause; 47 Family Health Breast cancer or suspected for breast cancer; If menstrual cycle has already stopped not because of pregnancy or breast feeding; Liver diseases or gall bladder diseases; Heart diseases; High blood pressure; and Post-natal and breastfeeding mothers should not use at least for six months. Implantable contraceptives: Noreplant is long acting contraceptives that contain progesterone hormone. Mechanism of action • Prevents the release of egg from the ovaries; and 48 Family Health • Thickens the cervical mucus and difficult for the sperm to pass through to the uterus; Advantages • Highly effective in preventing pregnancy; • Serves for a long period and avoids concern about frequent appointments and its daily administration; • Prevents excess menstrual bleeding; • The user can ask for the removal of the implants at any time when she decides to have a child or other reason. Contraindication: • Women suspected for pregnancy; • Those hiving cancer of the uterus, heart diseases and, liver diseases; • Those who have uterine bleeding for unknown causes; and • Are epileptic and are on anti-epileptic drug regularly. Role of health extension workers • Cannot insert the inplant and infer interested clients to the nearby Health Facility • Disseminate information or educate potential users • clients to nearby health facility • Undertake home visits to follow up Female voluntary surgical contraception: • This is a procedure that requires surgical intervention.

The décor should be suitable for children order micronase 5 mg online, and toys discount 5mg micronase free shipping, books, videos and a play therapist should be available. Children should not be cared for next to adults and, where possible, there should also be separate facilities for adolescents. In England and Wales, parental consent is usually sought for operations on a child aged less than 16 years, although the child him/ herself has the right to consent if he/she have achieved sufficient understanding and intelligence to understand fully what is proposed, i. However, in cases in which a child has refused or resisted medical treatment, the courts have upheld the right of the parents to consent for the treatment. In such cases, much will depend on the judgement of the doctor as to whether the child is competent or not, taking into account the importance or urgency of the proposed operation. The anaesthetist should see the parents and child before surgery to confirm/perform pre-operative assessment, establish a rapport, check compliance with guidelines on eating and drinking, discuss anaesthetic techniques and postoperative pain relief, and obtain verbal consents, e. This must be carefully timed, and efficient communication between the theatre team and the ward is vital. Tests and investigations Routine pre-operative investigations are expensive, labour- intensive and of questionable value, especially as they may contribute to morbidity or cause additional delays due to spurious results. History and examination performed by appropriately trained and competent personnel remains the most efficient and accurate way of initially detecting significant morbidity. Local departmental protocols should determine which additional tests should be used based upon patient age, 22 comorbidity and complexity of the surgery. The urgency and nature of surgery, plus patient- specific factors, will determine the balance between reversing anaemia and proceding with surgery. The aim, to avoid peri- operative blood transfusion, is best achieved when hospital pre-operative services work with other departments and primary care. Evaluation of high-risk patients should estimate cardiovascular risk according to the severity of systemic disease (see Appendix 5), functional capacity and the grade of the planned surgery. The patient’s perspective This document defines the objectives of pre-operative assessment, emphasising the need to: • Support all patients as they prepare themselves for surgery. Many patients, however, will not see an anaesthetist before admission as they will have been adequately assessed by skilled practitioners using established protocols. Anaesthetists must therefore ensure that the information provided not only allows for efficiency on the day of admission but also addresses any of the patient’s concerns previously noted. If these concerns are not adequately dealt with by the practitioner, the patient should have access to a consultation with an anaesthetist before the day of operation. Both assessment before admission and the pre-operative visit allow patients to: • Discuss their peri-operative care. Communication must be clear, with consistent messages given to the patient regarding choices for anaesthesia, post-operative analgesia, prevention and treatment of nausea and vomiting, pre-operative starvation and any other concerns raised by the patient. In addition to the impact on the patient’s medical condition, it is likely to cause considerable disruption to both their work and their home life. Information specifically targeted for patients is also available in the patient information section of the Royal College of Anaesthetists website (http://www. Given the time constraints of ‘same-day’ admission it may be difficult for the patients to receive the level of consultation that would be considered ideal. However, the opportunity to talk to a doctor who fully understands their needs may ensure a more confident and co-operative relationship between the patient and the doctor. Day of surgery cancellations after nurse-led pre-assessment in an elective surgical centre: the first 2 years. Effectiveness of appropriately trained nurses in pre-operative assessment: randomised controlled equivalence/non-inferiority trial. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing as a screening test for perioperative management of major surgery in the elderly. Mid-term survival after abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery predicted by cardiopulmonary exercise testing. Derivation and prospective validation of a simple index for prediction of cardiac risk of major noncardiac surgery. Getting the right start: the national service framework for children, young people and maternity services - standard for hospital services. Post-operative resumption of oral intake in healthy adults: • Patients should be encouraged to drink when ready, providing there are no contraindications. Children Pre-operative fasting in children undergoing elective surgery – ‘the 2-4-6 rule’: • ‘2’ – Intake of water and other clear fluid up to 2 h before induction of anaesthesia. The risk of dying doubles every 7 years from the age of 10 so that by 90 years the monthly mortality risk is 5000 times the risk at the age of 10.

generic micronase 2.5mg without a prescription

Numerous structures such as glands micronase 2.5 mg without a prescription, sense organs and appendages such as hair nails are embedded in the skin purchase micronase 5mg visa. The Stratum Lucidum: This is a thin more or less transparent layer, in which the cells are indistinct. The Stratum Granulosum: It consists of three to five layers of flattened cells, containing dark granules of irregular shape. The innermost cell of this layer contains pigment granules called melanin which give the skin its colour. Dermis: Situated below the epidermis is the thickest dermis formed mostly of connective tissue which is richly supplied with blood vessels and nerves. The boundary line between the dermis and epidermis is neither smooth nor straight; it is rather zig zag because of the conical projection of the dermis into the epidermis. These muscle fibre, called errectores pilorum are attached to the hair follicle and when these muscles contract, the hairs become vertical and ‘goose­skin’ is brought about. Each sweat gland consists of a long tube, which at one end opens on to the surface through the sweats pore. In the coiled portion of the sweat gland there and glandular cells, which separate water and small quantities of metabolic waste products from the blood that circulates through the capillary network associated with the gland. The oily secretions (sebum) of the glands make the hair, water proof and protect the skin from drying effects of the atmosphere due to high temperatures and low humidity. Sensory Nerve Endings: Numerous sensory nerves specialized to pick up stimuli that cause; sensations of touch, pressure, pain, heat and cold are scattered in the skin. Stimuli picked up by the sense organs are transmitted to the brain when they are interpreted to give the correct information. Appendages: Hair and nails are appendages of the skin formed as a result of the out growth or thickening of the epidermis. Functions of the skin: The skin is not merely an outer covering for the body but it serves a variety of functions. Tongue consist of 3 parts Root ­ Attached with the hyoid bone Body ­ surfaces Apex ­ Touches the posterior surface of lower surfaces incisor teeth Surfaces: Body containing dorsal surface and inferior surface. Upper surface has a velvette ap­ pearance covered by three varieties of papillae 1) Circumvallate papillae – these papillae are arranged in a “V” shape at the back of the tongue and taste buds are found numerous in the walls of the circumvallate and fungiform papillae. The filaments of the nerve arise in the upper part of the nasal cavity is called olfactory portion of the nose and lined with highly specialized cells. The olfactory nerves and connections The olfactory bulb is an outlying portion of the brain is the slightly enlarged portion of the olfactory nerve tract which lies above the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone form the olfactory bulb sensation is passed along the olfactory tract by several relaying stations until it reaches the final receiving area in the olfactory centre which is in the temporal lobe of the cerebral hemisphere where the sensation is interpreted. The nerve supplying this special sense is the eighth cranial or auditory nerve The ear has the following parts 1) External ear 2) Middle ear or tympanic cavity 3) Internal ear. External ear consist of 1) Pinna or auricle ­ collects the sound waves 2) External auditory meatus ­ conveys the vibrations of sound Middle ear consist of 1) Ear drum ­ communicates to the mastoid process 2) Eustachian tube ­ maintaining the pressure of air in the tympanic cavity 3) Auditory ossicles­ are 3 small bones. They are 58 Malleus Incus This chain of bone serves to transmit the vibrations of sound from the drum to the internal ear Stapes Mastoid process is the part of the temporal bone lying behind the ear an air space communicates in the middle ear Internal ear Consists of cavities called the bony labyrinth and membranous labyrinth. The fluid within the membranous labyrinth is endolymph and the fluid in the bony labyrinth is the perilymp. The fenestra vestbuli and the fenestra cochlea are windows directed towards the middle ear and allow the vibrations transmitted to peri and endo lymph to acti­ vate the nerve endings of the auditory nerve Hearing: Sound waves pass along the external auditory canal cause the tympanic membrane to vibrate. By movement of these bones, magnify the vibrations, then communicated to the vestibular fenestra to the perilymph and to the endolymph in the canal of the cochlea. This stimuli reaches the nerve endings in the organ of corti, conveyed to the brain by auditory nerve. The sensation of hearing is interpreted by the brain as a pleasant or unpleasant sound (noise or music). Balance: The change in the position of the fluid in the semicircular canals helps in order to maintain balance of the body and this canal distributed by the vestibular nerve which conveys to the brain the 59 impulse generated there by alterations in the position of the fluid in these canals which have to do with the knowledge of the sense of the position of the head in relation to the body Organs of special sense ­ The eye and sight: Eye ball is spherical in shape situated in the anterior 2/3 of the orbital cavity and it is embedded in the fat of the cavity. The optic or second cranial nerve is the sensory nerve of the sight The eye ball composed of 3 layers 1) Outer ­ Fibrous and supporting layer 2) Middle ­ Vascular 3) Inner ­ nervous layer (Retina) 1 Fig 2. It protects the delicate structure of the eye and helps to maintain the shape of the eyeball Cornea: ­ Is a transparent front portion, avascular and continuous with the sclera. It consist of several layers and it helps to focus images on to the retina Vascular layer: ­ Choroid: ­ It is highly vascular and pigmented layer, supplies nutrition to the outer layer of retina, absorbs the light and prevents reflection of light Ciliiary body: ­ It lies between the choroid and the iris and has circular muscle fibers and radiat­ ing fibers helps in maintaining the accommodation of the eye Iris: ­ It is a circular, contractile and pigmented diaphragm. It is the color curtain in front of the lens and it contains 2 sets of involuntary muscle fibers, one set contract the size of the pupil & other set dilates the pupil Pupil: ­ It is the dark central spot which is an opening in the iris through which light reaches the retina Nervous layer (retina): ­ Composed of number of layers of fibers, nerve cells, rods and cones. At the middle side of the macula there is a circular pale area which is insensitive to light called blind spot 60 Sight When an image is perceived the rays of light from the object seen, pass through the cornea, aqueous humor, lens and vitreous body to stimulate the nerve endings in the retina. The stimuli received by the retina pass along the optic tracts to the visual areas of the brain to be interpreted. Male and female sexual reproductive organs: The sex organs in the male and female can be divided as 1. Primary sex organs in male and female: There are a pair of testes producing spermatozoa (male gametes) while in females are a pair of ovaries producing ovum (female gamete). These primary sex organs in addition to producing male and female gametes secrete male and female hormones as well. Many septate from this layer divide the testes into pyramidal lobules in which lie seminiferous tubules and interstitial cells.
