4:02 Treatment of Middle Ear Infection

A middle ear infection is a condition that occurs when a virus or bacteria causes the air-filled space behind the eardrum to become inflamed.
• Also called otitis media, a middle ear infection is the most common type of ear infection individuals face.
• This condition is more prevalent in children than in adults. The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital at Stanford estimates that middle ear infections occur in 80% of children by the time they reach age 3.
• It is easier for parents to recognize the condition in children who are able to articulate how they are feeling than in infants and toddlers.
• Hearing problems and other serious complications can develop from long-term exposure to ear infections – persistent or frequent ear infections, persistent fluid in the middle ear.
• These complications may include impaired hearing, the spread of infection, tearing of eardrum, and even speech and developmental delay.

Some other conditions that may result in similar middle ear problems or that may be related to an ear infection may include:

• Otitis media with effusion (OME) which occurs when mucus and fluid persist or continue to build up in the middle ear after an infection has resolved. It may also occur following some dysfunction or noninfectious blockage of the Eustachian tube.
• Acute otitis media, this types comes on quickly and is accompanied by swelling and redness in the ear.

How does our immune system protect us against diseases? What do our white blood cells do during an infection?

In Episode 2 of our short animation series, we take a look at the various white blood cells that are an essential part of our immune system. This video provides an overview of the function of each type of cell, and how interactions between different white blood cells are required to create an effective immune response.

When a pathogen enters our body, it can start to multiply inside us, making us ill. How does our immune system respond to fight off the pathogen? Our immune system contains a variety of white blood cells that all have their own role to play in protecting us from disease.

The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the importance of better understanding our immune system, and how it works alone, and alongside medicine, to keep the world safe from infectious diseases.

This educational animation was brought to you by Oxford Immunotec.

DKA diabetic ketoacidosis vs. HHS (HHNS) NCLEX

health No Comments »

Today’s video is all about DKA vs HHS for Nursing Students and NCLEX Review.

For your FREE quiz and access to more full-length videos, click here: http://bit.ly/3GgiOqr

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state (HHS) are two conditions that can result from diabetes. They’re both pretty scary for patients, but luckily, they’re fairly easy to tell apart.

Watch to find out more about symptoms, treatment, and nursing interventions.

#NCLEX
#DKA #DKAvsHHS #Diabetes #Insulin

Diabetic Ketoacidosis is a serious complication of type 1 diabetes that occurs when your blood sugar levels are extremely high and acidic substances called ketones grow to dangerous levels.

Side effects include (but aren’t limited to) extreme thirst, lethargy and weight loss.

Listen to Kate’s story about how she found out her 3 year old son was suffering from DKA and what to look out for in yourself or loved ones.

Remember to always seek medical advice from your GP if symptoms appear and find out more on our website https://www.diabetes.org.uk/guide-to-diabetes/complications/diabetic_ketoacidosis

Diabetic Ketoacidosis | Made easy | DKA | Causes | Pathophysiology |signs & Symptoms | Management

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion.
.
This leads to hyperglycemia, which may result in acute metabolic complications such as
 Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) &
 Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS).

Diabetic ketoacidosis is characterized by hyperglycemia, ketonemia, and acidemia.DKA is caused by an absence or markedly inadequate amount of insulin.
Causes of Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• Infection: (pneumonia, bacteremia, UTI etc.).drug intoxication
• Side effects of drugs (Steroids),Failed to take insulin
• Vascular occlusion ,Surgical procedures ,Stress
• Pregnancy
Diabetic Ketoacidosis : Pathophysiology
Insulin controls the glucose level in the blood by regulating the production & storage of glucose. In the diabetic state, the cells may stop responding to insulin or the pancreas may stop producing insulin.
Without insulin, the amount of glucose entering the cells is reduced & the liver increases glucose production.—-Hyperglycemia—–Osmotic Diuresis—–Dehydration and marked electrolyte loss.
Another effect of insulin deficiency
Breakdown of fat into FFA & glycerol——–FFA converted into Ketone bodies by the liver——-Accumulation of ketone bodies in the circulation
Metabolic acidosis
Clinical Manifestation of Diabetic Ketoacidosis
• Dehydration: Poor skin turgor, Dry mucous membrane
• Electrolyte imbalance
• Acidotic breathing
• Drowsiness, Restlessness, Stupor, Convulsion
• Cardiac irregularities
• Urine output high or low
Diagnostic Evaluation
• History collection
• Physical Examination : Signs of dehydration
• High blood sugar more than 300-400 mg/dl
• Blood Investigation :
Serum electrolytes: Sodium and potassium levels may be low, normal, or high, depending on the amount of water loss (dehydration).
Elevated BUN and creatinine
• ABG : Metabolic acidosis,Respiratory alkalosis
• Urine infections, Pus cells in urine, Ketone bodies in urine

Diabetic Ketoacidosis : Medical Management
• Rehydration:
• Restoring Electrolytes
• Reversing Acidosis
• Blood sugar control & Restoring vital organ control
Diabetic Ketoacidosis : Nursing Management
• Monitor vital signs ,saturation and Pain score
• Monitor electrolyte status as well as blood glucose levels.
• Monitor urine output and mainatin I/O chart.
• Monitor for dysrhythmias indicating abnormal potassium levels.
• Check the conscious level of patient.
• Administer insulin as per the order.

How rabies infection occurs

health No Comments »

It is essential to seek treatment for rabies immediately after being bitten or scratched by an unvaccinated animal. The virus can take days, weeks or even months to reach the brain – but once it does, it is 100% fatal.

The One Health in Africa Centre at ILRI supports the eradication effort against rabies in Kenya through mass dog vaccination campaigns.

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, is an infection in any part of the urinary system — the kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra.
An infection of the urethra, or urethritis, may cause burning sensation when urinating and cloudy discharge. A bladder infection, or cystitis, may result in pelvic pain, frequent, painful urination, and blood in urine. A kidney infection, or acute pyelonephritis, may cause back pain (possibly only on one side), high fever, chills and nausea.
UTIs typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder. Most commonly, these bacteria come from the digestive tract through fecal matter. UTIs are more common in women because of their anatomy. Specifically, the short distance from the A to the opening of the urethra and bladder makes it easier for the bacteria from the digestive tract to reach the urinary system. This is why the most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra.
Other bacteria may be brought over with S contact. Women who use certain types of birth control such as diaphragms or spermicidal agents are more at risk. Hormonal deficiency during menopause also makes women more vulnerable to infection.
Infection limited to the bladder can be easily treated with antibiotics. However, if left untreated, a lower urinary tract infection may spread up to the kidneys where it becomes more dangerous. A kidney infection may result in permanent kidney damage. In rare cases, an infection may also spread to the bloodstream and can be life threatening.
Urinary tract infections can be prevented following these steps:
– Drink plenty of fluids – to flush out bacteria more frequently.
– Wipe from front to back after a bowel movement – this helps prevent bacteria in stools from spreading to the urethra.
– Empty the bladder soon after I to flush bacteria.
– Avoid feminine products such as douches and powders, which could irritate the urethra.
– Avoid diaphragms and spermicides as birth control methods
