Hematochezia, Rectal Bleeding, Symptoms, Directory, Health, Medical:"Rectal bleeding (known medically as hematochezia) refers to passage of bright red blood from the anus, often mixed with stool and/or blood clots. (It is called rectal bleeding because the rectum lies immediately above the anus. Although the bleeding indeed may be coming from the rectum, as discussed later, it also may be coming from other parts of the gastrointestinal tract.) The severity of rectal bleeding (i.e., the quantity of blood loss) varies widely. Most episodes of rectal bleeding are mild and stop on their own. Many patients report only passing a few drops of fresh blood that turns the toilet water pink or seeing spots of blood on the tissue paper." ******************************************************
Bronchodilators, Bronchi, Bronchiole Dilators, Respiratory, Pulmonary, Lungs:"A bronchodilator is a substance that dilates the bronchi and bronchioles, increasing airflow. Bronchodilators may be endogenous (originating naturally within the body), or they may be medications administered for the treatment of breathing difficulties. Bronchial asthma is the most common application of these drugs. They are also intended to help improve the breathing capacity of patients with emphysema, pneumonia and bronchitis. (wikipedia)"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bronchodilator Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
WebMD, Asthma Guide, Bronchodilators: Relieving Asthma Symptoms:"One type of medication is used by almost all people with asthma: a bronchodilator. Short-acting bronchodilators are used only as needed as asthma "rescue" medications, while long-acting bronchodilators are used every day to control asthma. Bronchodilators open up the bronchial tubes so that more air can move through. Bronchodilators also help clear mucus from the lungs. As the airways open, the mucus moves more freely and can be coughed out (expelled) more easily." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilator Medicines, University of Virginia Health System:"Bronchodilators are probably the most commonly used medicines for asthma. They work by relaxing the muscles around the airways during an asthma attack. There are many different bronchodilator medicines. Some common ones are:
albuterol
Alupent
Atrovent
Brethine
ipatroprium
metaproteronol
Metaprel
Proventil
salbutamol
terbutaline
theophylline
Theodur
Ventolin." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Purdue Pharma What are Bronchodilators? :"Bronchodilators are drugs used in treatment of COPD (chronic obstructive airway disease) and reversible obstructive airway diseases such as asthma. Purdue Pharma currently has two bronchodilator products: Uniphyl and PhylloContin.
Once-daily Uniphyl tablets are a sustained release formulation of theophylline used to treat symptoms of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Theophylline eases the cough, wheezing, shortness of breath, and troubled breathing associated with these conditions by relaxing and opening the bronchial tubes allowing increased amounts of air to flow into the lungs.
PhylloContin tablets contain aminophylline, which is used to treat symptoms of asthma, chronic bronchitis and emphysema. It relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe."

Alaska: Monday, March 24, 2008: Nursing overtime spurs safety concerns: By Alan Suderman | JUNEAU EMPIRE:"Lawmakers in the Senate Finance Committee heard continued testimony Friday on a bill that would outlaw mandatory overtime for nurses except in a few cases.
Some nurses, nursing groups and other supporters of the measure say overworked nurses in Alaska pose a serious threat to their patients and themselves, and a state law is needed to protect them from being forced to work overtime.
"Mandating that nurses work overtime could be unsafe," said Sue Behnert, a nurse at the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Consortium.
But hospital administrators say mandatory overtime isn't a problem in Alaska, and the bill is an unneeded extra regulation that would bog down hospital staff." ******************************************************
National Jewish Medical and Research Center, Bronchodilators:"Bronchodilators help open the airways in the lungs by relaxing smooth muscle around the airways. There are three types of bronchodilators: beta-agonists, anticholinergics, and theophyllines.
Combination medications contain more than one type of medicine and are sometimes more beneficial than either medicine used alone.
Beta-agonists
Anticholinergics
Theophylline" Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Healthline, Precautions, Bronchodilators:"Bronchodilators come with patient instructions. Be sure to carefully read them before using the medicine. If there is any confusion about how to use the medicine, check with the physician or pharmacist. Always use these medicines exactly as directed. Taking larger than recommended doses or using the medicine too often can lead to serious side effects and even death. If symptoms do not improve or if they get worse after using a bronchodilator, call a physician right away. Although some bronchodilators are available without a physician's prescription, these medicines should not be used unless a physician has diagnosed the patient's condition as asthma." Category: Bronchodilators, Respiratory Drugs, Medications ******************************************************
Bronchodilators for bronchiolitis, Gadomski AM, Bhasale AL, Cochrane Reviews:"Bronchodilators produce short-term improvements in infants with bronchiolitis but more research is needed Bronchiolitis is an acute, highly infectious lower respiratory tract (chest) infection that is common in infants. It causes the small airways in the lungs to become inflamed, blocking the free passage of air so that the infant becomes breathless, wheezy and short of oxygen. Bronchodilators are drugs often used as aerosols to widen the air passages by relaxing the bronchial muscle. They are effective in helping infants and adults with asthma. However unlike asthmatics, infants with bronchiolitis are usually wheezing for the first time and wheezing for a different reason, that is to say, because their airways are obstructed as opposed to bronchoconstricted. Therefore, infants with bronchiolitis may be less likely to respond to bronchodilators."

Early Pregnancy Loss: Miscarriage and Molar Pregnancy, American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists:"A normal pregnancy is about 40 weeks. The loss of a pregnancy before 20 weeks is called early pregnancy loss. Often, the loss is a miscarriage (sometimes called spontaneous abortion by doctors). A rare form of pregnancy loss is molar pregnancy.
The loss of a pregnancy—no matter how early—involves more than the loss of a fetus. For many women, miscarriage also results in feelings of loss and grief. This pamphlet explains: Some causes of early pregnancy loss
Signs and symptoms of pregnancy loss
What to expect after the loss." ******************************************************
Miscarriage, American Pregnancy Association:"Spontaneous abortion (SAB), or miscarriage, is the term used for a pregnancy that ends on it's own, within the first 20 weeks of gestation. The medical name spontaneous abortion (SAB) gives many women a negative feeling, so throughout this article we will refer to any type of spontaneous abortion or pregnancy loss under 20 weeks as miscarriage.
Miscarriage is the most common type of pregnancy loss, according to the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG). Studies reveal that anywhere from 10-25% of all clinically recognized pregnancies will end in miscarriage. Chemical pregnancies may account for 50-75% of all miscarriages. This occurs when a pregnancy is lost shortly after implantation, resulting in bleeding that occurs around the time of her expected period. The woman may not realize that she conceived when she experiences a chemical pregnancy." Category: Miscarriages, Education & Support, Loss of A Pregnancy, Pregnancy Obstetrics & Gynecology ******************************************************
Environmental Causes Of Infertility And Miscarriage:"Avoiding these circumstances will improve the odds of fertility and conception and decrease miscarriage risk by reducing "wear and tear" on the genes that control the reproductive processes. Evidence also included demonstrates the same chemicals causing infertility and miscarriage are being identified as increasing the risk for having a child with mental retardation, learning disabilities or behavior problems (such as A.D.D.)."

Ovarian Vein Thrombosis, Right, Left :"This pathologic
process may produce clinical complications or a catastrophic outcome.
These adverse events may be avoided if an expeditious diagnosis is
made and appropriate treatment is instituted. This mandates a high
index of suspicion, the ability to rule out the presence of other
processes that may produce similar symptoms in the postpartum patient,
and the appropriate triage of specific patients to either medical or
surgical management."
SheLovesGod.com:"As the battle lines between good and evil become more pronounced, it becomes the divinely-appointed responsibility of every woman of faith to take the lead in everything that is praiseworthy. We can make a difference in our families, in our communities, in our churches, in the business world, and in everything we touch if we will step forward and accept the challenge. Let us set ourselves apart as distinct and different -- in happy ways -- from women of the world. And in so doing we will be a deciding influence for good in the days ahead!"

Nursyz:"Hospitals and all the variety of workplaces nurses may apply for work claim the same thing: their facility or agency is the best out there in terms of compensation, atmosphere, benefits, etc. But as it often turns out, the thrill of getting hired stops at the orientation process. From then on, it becomes apparent there is a big disparity between management claims and the reality on the floor. Everyday, nurses have to contend with unsafe staffing ratios, unfair labor practices, indifferent superiors, to name only a few. It is a matter of survival and possesing the ability to "take it all in" in order to stay on the job." ******************************************************

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm, Direct (Bedside Nursing) Patient Care Links:"Abdominal aortic aneurysms occur in 5 to 7 percent of people over age 60 in the United States. An aneurysm is defined as a permanent localized dilatation of an artery, with an increase in diameter of greater than 1.5 times its normal diameter. Abdominal aortic aneurysms may be manifested by catastrophic rupture, signs of pressure on other viscera or an embolism originating in the aneurysmal wall, but most cases are asymptomatic. The diagnosis is often made by physical examination of the abdomen, which reveals a pulsatile mass left of the midline, between the xyphoid process and the umbilicus. The diagnosis may be confirmed by B-mode ultrasound. Ultrasound screening should be considered for individuals at risk for abdominal aortic aneurysms. This group includes individuals over age 60 who smoke, have hypertension or have vascular disease. Elective surgical intervention is indicated for most patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms greater than 5 cm in diameter to prevent rupture and death. Smaller abdominal aortic aneurysms should be monitored by regular ultrasound measurements. Screening and identification of abdominal aortic aneurysms by primary care physicians can have a significant impact on patient survival." ****************************************************
