It is a descriptive term based on the symptoms and signs secondary to one or more of a wide range of problems. If not recognized and corrected as early as possible, shock may rapidly progress to an irreversible state with subsequent multi-organ failure and death. Distributive shock Distributive shock is further subdivided into three subgroups: a. Anaphylactic shock Hypovolemic shock is present when marked reduction in oxygen delivery results from diminished cardiac output secondary to inadequate vascular volume. In general, it results from loss of fluid from circulation, either directly or indirectly. Septic Shock (vasogenic shock) develops as a result of the systemic effect of infection. It is the result of a septicemia with endotoxin and exotoxin release by gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Despite normal or increased cardiac output and oxygen delivery, cellular oxygen consumption is less than normal due to impaired extraction as a result of impaired metabolism. Neurogenic shock results primarily from the disruption of the sympathetic nervous system which may be due to pain or loss of sympathetic tone, as in spinal cord injuries. This circulatory response to hypotension is to conserve perfusion to the vital organs (heart and brain) at the expense of other tissues. Progressive vasoconstriction of skin, splanchnic and renal vessels leads to renal cortical necrosis and acute renal failure. If not corrected in time, shock leads to organ failure and sets up a vicious circle with hypoxia and acidosis. But in general patients with hypotension and reduced tissue perfusion presents with: ƒ Tachycardia ƒ Feeble pulse ƒ Narrow pulse pressure ƒ Cold extremities (except septic shock) ƒ Sweating, anxiety ƒ Breathlessness / Hyperventilation ƒ Confusion leading to unconscious state 2 Summary: Clinical features of hypovolemic shock in adults with estimated volume loss. Estimated blood loss 750-1500ml 1500ml-2000ml >2000 ml Blood pressure Normal Reduced Severely Reduced Pulse rate >100/min >120/m >140/m very feeble Capillary refill Slow Slow Undetectable Respiratory rate 20-30/m 30-40/m >35/m Urinary flow rate 20-30/hr 10-20/hr 0-10/hr (Normal: 30-60 ml/hr or 0. General Management • Monitor the airway, breathing and circulation as first priority • Stop bleeding • Fluid resuscitation, preferably crystalloids • Head down position • Treat the cause • Transfusion of compatible blood if indicated • Oxygen and other supportive measures like inotropic agents • Monitoring of resuscitation effectiveness: e. This is effected by: ƒ General approach as above ƒ Fluid and blood replacement ƒ Oxygen support etc. Early diagnosis and immediate correction of shock prevents permanent organ damage and death. Many disease processes result in changes that could result in rapid deterioration of the patient and death. Anyone caring for surgical patients should have a basic knowledge of fluid, electrolyte, acid and base disturbances, as well as their causes and their management. Osmoles or milliosmoles: number of osmotically active particles or ions per unit volume. An equivalent of an ion is its atomic weight expressed in grams divided by the valence. In case of univalent ions, one milliequivalent (meq) is the same as one millimole. When the osmotic pressure of a solution is considered, it is more descriptive to use units of osmole or milliosmole. These units refer to the actual number of osmotically active particles present in solution but they are not dependent on the chemical combining capacities of the substances. Thus, a millimole of sodium chloride which dissociated into sodium and chloride contributes 2 milliosmole. Females have lower body water (45 –60%) because of the high fat content of their body. The extra cellular fluid is sub divided into Intravascular (plasma) comprising 2/3 of extra cellular fluid and Interstitial which comprises 1/3 of extra cellular fluid. B: A minimum urinary output of approximately 400 ml in 24 hours is required to excrete the end products of metabolism. The lost fluid is not water alone, but water and electrolytes in approximately the same proportion as they exist in normal extra cellular fluid. Treatment Placement of extra cellular loss with fluid of similar composition: Blood loss: Replace with Ringer’s Lactate, Normal Saline or Blood, if needed Extra cellular fluid: Replace with Ringer’s Lactate, Normal Saline Rate of fluid replacement The Rate depends on the degree of dehydration. It should be fast until the vital signs are corrected and adequate urine output is achieved. Monitoring The general condition and the vital signs of the patient should be followed. Volume Excess Extra cellular fluid volume excess is generally iatrogenic or secondary to renal insufficiency, cirrhosis, or congestive heart failure.

The shaking of bedclothes and frequent washing of sheets and blankets reduce the availability of food and therefore the number of mites buy cheap penegra 100mg line. General insecticides used for pest control are not effective but a special product containing benzyl benzoate is available, which destroys mites when applied to mattresses, and upholstery. Leishmaniasis Leishmaniasis is a term used to describe a number of closely related diseases caused by several distinct species, subspecies and strains of leishmania parasites. The epidemiology of leishmaniasis is complex, involving not only different parasite species but also strains of parasites. The epidemiology of this disease is largely determined by: o The species of sandflies, their ecology and behavior; o The availability of a wide range of hosts; 141 o The species and strains of leishmania parasites. It is characterized by typical ulcer that starts as a nodule at the site of bite, and then a crust develops in the middle followed by ulcer. Case treatment Simple cutaneous leishmaniasis usually heals without treatment and renders the person immune to other infections with the same parasite species. It is recommended that personal protection measures be taken, such as repellents, fine mesh screens, insecticide treated clothing and/ or insecticide-treated bednets are used. Application of basic sanitation This is aimed at abolishing the breeding sites around human habitation, such as proper disposal of refuse and rubbish heaps; filling of cracks and holes in the soils and walls. Control of Animal Reservoir In Ethiopia, control measures were carried out against the rock hyrax, a wild animal reservoir of leishmaniasis, where by reduction of the prevalence of leishmaniasis has occurred. Therefore, it is essential to become familiar with foods that heal, vegetable juices, and fats that heal, unrefined sea salts. Psychophysical activities will help you balance your body and will help you relief accumulated stress. Atopic refers to a group of diseases where there is often an inherited tendency to develop other allergic conditions, such as asthma and hay fever. This module is intended to be used by health extension workers and is believed to provide them with basic information that is not included in the core module. However, it is essential to undertake the management, prevention and control activities on common skin infections. Directions for using the module ¾ Prior to reading this satellite module please be sure that you have completed the pretest and studied the core module. In the community, those patient who develop bed sore as a result of chronic illness, can be well managed by health worker through a) Frequent changing position b) Providing bed bath and back care c) Not allow to eat that much vitamin and protein until the wound is healed d) All except C e) None of the 6. As being the health worker of the community, all activity has to be carried out respect to leprosy disease patient except: a) Teach the patient about disease b) Avoid any discrimination and stigmatization from the community c) Treat any skin reaction that occurred from disease process d) Teach the patient, on how to protect his/her wound form danger e) None of the above 146 8. Which of the following is the role of health worker who is dealing with a patients having wound secondary to accident? Scabies is a disease caused by an arthropod called scabies mite; therefore it is not acquired by close contact with an infected individual. General objective The general objective of this module is to equip health extension workers with the knowledge and skills needed to deal with the management, prevention and control of common skin diseases. Specific objectives After complete reading of this module, health extension workers will be able to: ¾ Describe common skin infections ¾ Explain the management of common skin infections ¾ Mention important prevention and control measures ¾ Portray the significance of hygienic behavior in the mitigation of common skin disease. The skin and its parts The major components of the system are the following: ¾ Skin ¾ Hair ¾ Nails These components not only reflect person’s general health status, they also serve as indicators of more general disturbances. The Skin ¾ The skin is the boundary between ourselves (the internal organs) & what is around us) ¾ It reflects internal changes and reacts to changes in the environment ¾ It is composed of tissue that: - Grows - Differentiates & - Renews itself The entire layer of the epidermis is replaced about every 15 to 30 days, depending on its location. Causes: - Streptococcus - Staphylococcus ¾ Although impetigo is seen at all ages, it is particularly common in children living in poor hygienic condition. Treatment: ¾ Systemic antibiotic therapy ¾ Antiseptic to clean the skin ¾ Wash hand frequently ¾ Avoid scratching ¾ Teach the patient ¾ Arrange follow up 7. Treatment: - o Promote skin care & don’t scratch o Encourage rest so that the infection remains localized o Give anti pain and analgesic o Send to health facility for parentral treatment 149 7. Frunclosis (Boil): Is an acute inflammation arising deep in one or more hair follicles and spreading in to surrounding dermis. It is the deeper form of folliculitis ¾ Furuncles may occur any where on the body but are more prevalent at areas where irritation and pressure, friction, perspiration such as the back of the neck, the axially buttock. Carbuncle Is an abscess of skin and subcutaneous tissue representing an extension of furuncle that has invaded several hair follicles and is larger and deeper. Treatment: Do not squeeze Warm and moist compresses increases visualization and hasten resolution. Leprosy (Hanson’s Disease) It is a chronic bacterial infectious disease caused by bacteria called mycobacterium leprae and which can affect skin, peripheral nerves and other organs like respiratory tract and eyes. Occurrence of the disease The disease will occur in all ages, both sexes and every socioeconomic groups of the society.

All substances that move through the membrane do so by one of two general methods discount penegra 100mg with mastercard, which are categorized based on whether or not energy is required. Passive transport is the movement of substances across the membrane without the expenditure of cellular energy. Passive Transport In order to understand how substances move passively across a cell membrane, it is necessary to understand concentration gradients and diffusion. Molecules (or ions) will spread/diffuse from where they are more concentrated to where they are less concentrated until they are equally distributed in that space. If a bottle of perfume were sprayed, the scent molecules would naturally diffuse from the spot where they left the bottle to all corners of the bathroom, and this diffusion would go on until no more concentration gradient remains. In both cases, if the room is warmer or the tea hotter, diffusion occurs even faster as the molecules are bumping into each ° other and spreading out faster than at cooler temperatures. Whenever a substance exists in greater concentration on one side of a semipermeable membrane, such as the cell membranes, any substance that can move down its concentration gradient across the membrane will do so. Neither of these examples requires any energy on the part of the cell, and therefore they use passive transport to move across the membrane. Because cells rapidly use up oxygen during metabolism, there is typically a lower concentration of O inside the cell than outside. As a result, oxygen2 will diffuse from the interstitial fluid directly through the lipid bilayer of the membrane and into the cytoplasm within the cell. This mechanism of molecules moving across a cell membrane from the side where they are more concentrated to the side where they are less concentrated is a form of passive transport called simple diffusion (Figure 3. Charged atoms or molecules of any size cannot cross the cell membrane via simple diffusion as the charges are repelled by the hydrophobic tails in the interior of the phospholipid bilayer. Solutes dissolved in water on either side of the cell membrane will tend to diffuse down their concentration gradients, but because most substances cannot pass freely through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, their movement is restricted to protein channels and specialized transport mechanisms in the membrane. Facilitated diffusion is the diffusion process used for those substances that cannot cross the lipid bilayer due to their size, charge, and/or polarity (Figure 3. Although glucose can be more concentrated outside of a cell, it cannot cross the lipid bilayer via simple diffusion because it is both large and polar. To resolve this, a specialized carrier protein called the glucose transporter will transfer glucose molecules into the cell to facilitate its inward diffusion. Channel proteins are less selective than carrier proteins, and usually mildly discriminate between their cargo based on size and charge. Their diffusion is facilitated by membrane proteins that + form sodium channels (or “pores”), so that Na ions can move down their concentration gradient from outside the cells to inside the cells. There are many other solutes that must undergo facilitated diffusion to move into a cell, such as amino acids, or to move out of a cell, such as wastes. Because facilitated diffusion is a passive process, it does not require energy expenditure by the cell. Water also can move freely across the cell membrane of all cells, either through protein channels or by slipping between the lipid tails of the membrane itself. If a membrane is permeable to water, though not to a solute, water will equalize its own concentration by diffusing to the side of lower water concentration (and thus the side of higher solute concentration). The movement of water molecules is not itself regulated by cells, so it is important that cells are exposed to an environment in which the concentration of solutes outside of the cells (in the extracellular fluid) is equal to the concentration of solutes inside the cells (in the cytoplasm). When cells and their extracellular environments are isotonic, the concentration of water molecules is the same outside and inside the cells, and the cells maintain their normal shape (and function). A solution that has a higher concentration of solutes than another solution is said to be hypertonic, and water molecules tend to diffuse into a hypertonic solution (Figure 3. In contrast, a solution that has a lower concentration of solutes than another solution is said to be hypotonic, and water molecules tend to diffuse out of a hypotonic solution. Cells in a hypotonic solution will take on too much water and swell, with the risk of eventually bursting. A critical aspect of homeostasis in living things is to create an internal environment in which all of the body’s cells are in an isotonic solution. Another mechanism besides diffusion to passively transport materials between compartments is filtration. Unlike diffusion of a substance from where it is more concentrated to less concentrated, filtration uses a hydrostatic pressure gradient that pushes the fluid—and the solutes within it—from a higher pressure area to a lower pressure area. For example, the circulatory system uses filtration to move plasma and substances across the 94 Chapter 3 | The Cellular Level of Organization endothelial lining of capillaries and into surrounding tissues, supplying cells with the nutrients. The word “pump” probably conjures up thoughts of using energy to pump up the tire of a bicycle or a basketball. These pumps are particularly abundant in nerve cells, which are constantly pumping out sodium ions and pulling in potassium ions to maintain an electrical gradient across their cell membranes.

A study of 73 patients (aged 71 to 99 years) from wards providing acute elderly care in a large general hospital found that most elderly people could not use the inhaler device and that zanamivir treatment for elderly people with in- fluenza was unlikely to be effective (Diggory 2001) penegra 100 mg without prescription. Dosage The recommended dose of zanamivir for the treatment of influenza in adults and paediatric patients aged 7 years and older is 10 mg bid (= twice daily 2 consecutive inhalations of one 5-mg blister) for 5 days. Patients with pulmonary dysfunction should always have a fast-acting bronchodi- lator available and discontinue zanamivir if respiratory difficulty develops. Standard Dosage for Treatment: 10 mg bid (= twice daily 2 consecutive inhala- tions of one 5-mg blister) for 5 days. Standard Dosage for Prophylaxis: in most countries, zanamivir has not been ap- proved for prophylaxis. Pharmacokinetics: 10 to 20 percent of the active compound reaches the lungs, the rest is deposited in the oropharynx. Warning: zanamivir is not recommended for the treatment of patients with under- lying airways disease (such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). Interactions: no clinically significant pharmacokinetic drug interactions are pre- dicted based on data from in vitro studies. Side effects: zanamivir has a good safety profile and the overall risk for any respi- ratory event is low. Patient information: the use of zanamivir for the treatment of influenza has not been shown to reduce the risk of transmission of influenza to others. There is a risk of bronchospasm, especially in the setting of underlying airways disease, and patients should stop zanamivir and contact their physician if they expe- rience increased respiratory symptoms during treatment such as worsening wheez- ing, shortness of breath, or other signs or symptoms of bronchospasm. A patient with asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease must be made aware of the risks and should have a fast-acting bronchodilator available. Patients scheduled to take inhaled bronchodilators at the same time as zanamivir should be advised to use their bronchodilators before taking zanamivir.

Failure to replace these nets could lead to a resurgence in parasite sensitivity to artemisinins, the clinical and parasitological of malaria cases and deaths. The widespread use of a single class of insecticide 2000 and 2009 was found in 32 of the 56 malaria-endemic countries increases the risk that mosquitoes will develop resistance, which outside Africa, while downward trends of 25%–50% were seen in 8 could rapidly lead to a major public health problem. It is estimated that the number of cases of malaria rose from 233 million in 2000 to 244 million in 2005 but decreased to 225 million in 2009.
