 | Nosocomial Pneumonia |
 melanie writes "Nosocomial Pneumonia is the leading cause of death due to hospital acquired infection-mortality ranges from 20-25%. Highest risk of infection is associated with mechanical ventilation, but the majority of infections still occur outside of the ICU. Aspiration is felt to play a central role in the pathogenesus, 45% of healthy people aspirate while asleep and this statistic rises with severely ill patients. 75% of severely ill hospitalized patients will become colonized with gram negative bacteria within 48 hours of admission. Normally the upper gastrointestinal tract and stomach are near sterile, however in the face of illness, stress, medications and enteric feedings will alter the gastric pH allowing colonization.

| Research on Clinical Depression |
Clinical Depression is a serious and common disorder of mood that is pervasive, intense and attacks the mind of the body at the same time. Depression can result in a serious disturbance of work, social and bodily functioning. Unlike grief or passing sadness, depression usually does not respond to a chance in circumstances(for example, good news) nor does it dissipate with time (in contrast to the grief over the death of a loved one). Depression can last for months or years if left untreated, resulting in disruption of relationship and productivity, disability or death.
Current theories indicate that clinical depression may be associated with an imbalanced of chemicals in the brain that carry communications between nerve cells that control mood and other bodily systems that are disturbed in depression, such as sleep and appetite. Factors contributing to vulnerability or the timing of depression also include life experience such as severe stress or loss, other medical illnesses, and certain personality traits and genetic factors. Sometimes, depression can appear without any apparent cause.
In most people, depression can be treated successfully, either with medication or psychotherapy, or a combination of the two. Antidepressant medications affect brain chemistry, and after several weeks can yield to important and sustained relief from depressive symptoms. Newer medications have greatly improved safety and tolerability. Antidepressant are not habit-forming and may be useful for long-term prevention of recurrences of depressive episodes or against chronic depression. |
