It notes the new trend to “pair” Nightingale with another supposed “nursing pioneer,” who was a businesswoman and generous volunteer, Mary Seacole, but who never portrayed herself as a nurse. The article goes on to cite the promotion of misinformation on the two by no less than the Queen, in her Christmas message of 2020, and by her heir, the Prince of Wales, on 12 May 2021, Nightingale’s birthday and International Nurses Day. The most extreme example of misinformation is that of the prince, who claimed joint status for Seacole with Nightingale in achieving the sanitary reforms in the Crimean War that saved large numbers of lives. Unlike Seacole, Nightingale played a role in these reforms, but credited the doctors and engineers of the Sanitary Commission who did the heavy work of renovation. The article calls for high standards of ethics and scholarship in nursing and health care publication. Health authorities, such as Britain’s National Health Service, should be the source of reliable information, especially in a pandemic. Misinformation on mere “historical” matters, not clinical, is not acceptable. Diversity and inclusion are valid goals of any health care system, but should be pursued with integrity. The article introduces a fine Black nursing leader, Kofoworola Abeni Pratt, who is ignored and yet should be celebrated for her contributions to nursing both in England and her home country, Nigeria.","PeriodicalId":361872,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Nursing and Health Care Research","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132373317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of this study is to assess and explore the effectiveness and safety of yoga for the treatment of UI in young woman with focus on patient symptoms and quality of life. Case description: Three women were referred to Physical Rehabilitation department by the Family Medicine physician. The first participant is 34 years old of age presented with a history of two years “stress incontinence”, had two children, normal delivery, second informant was a 30 years old had a history of six months stress incontinence after normal delivery of the first baby, the last participant was 50 years old with a history of four years of stress incontinence, after four normal deliveries. Management and outcomes: Three participants received yoga training once per week for four weeks, followed by unsupervised Yoga home exercises program for six weeks (total of 5 sessions). After the completion of six weeks they were seen at the clinic for reassessment and discharge. Outcomes as suggested by the International Incontinence Society (ICS), which included observation, quantification of the woman’s symptoms, the clinician’s observations, and the women’s quality of life. Result: Significant effects in urinary incontinence were reported following supported Yoga training by the three participants with significant improvement from the baseline to week 10. Conclusion: Yoga poses intended to address the pelvic floor and core muscles were found to have better outcomes in terms of improving stress incontinence.","PeriodicalId":361872,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Nursing and Health Care Research","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117019359","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on 296 menopausal women aged 45-60 in 2 communes Tan Phong, Tan Hoa, Vu Thu district, Thai Binh province. Data was collected with 2 study tools: The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) scale and the World health organization quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF).

The infection is serious and therefore we have to keep zero Covid-19 goal to live in a safe and healthy environment without a pandemic. We have to quarantine to stop further spreading of the viruses; however, our quarantine and other responses were also excessive sometimes, the nucleic acid test, which is one of them, always broke our quarantine that could stop the spreading of the viruses and tested out more infected individuals without symptom and that made them be quarantined. The nucleic acid test made more people be infected and be quarantined away from their family. Questions came when thinking how to make the infected healthy and not infectious again so that they could go back to live in our society again, and whether one who recovered health and had no symptom was still infectious, does a “healthy carrier” really exist? Using mathematics, it could be proved that one definitely is not infectious as long as he was healthy and had no symptom, otherwise he must infect himself first and make him have symptoms, and this not true for a “healthy carrier”. Therefore, it definitely is impossible for a healthy individual who had no symptom to be infectious, this is also valid for Mary Mallon who was the first one labelled by “healthy carrier”, the infectious source is the dirty water but not herself. One definitely is not infectious as long as he was healthy and had no symptom, and he would even be less infectious if he recovered health from an infection and had no symptom, because that is same to that he had a vaccination. Nucleic acid test is unnecessary, it can’t definitely show one was infectious and sometimes it causes infection by itself; thence, we must exam whether one was not infectious only by whether he was healthy and had no symptom, but can absolutely not test nucleic acid for a healthy human without symptom.","PeriodicalId":361872,"journal":{"name":"Trends in Nursing and Health Care Research","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129166509","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In October 2020, President Trump also got infected by this novel coronavirus, but he got cured and recovered to health immediately by his therapy of a special antibody-cocktail, and that is just equivalent to alcohol (ethanol) with complete protein for immunity after eating. This provided a hint for solving the 2019n-Cov problem, it shows that alcohol with protein could probably cure the novel coronaviruses infection and perfect recover one’s health therefrom, as Trump did. By looking up literature in Chinese medicine, Trump’s experience exactly fits the description that drinking alcohol could recover one’s health perfectly when he was infected by virus as the people in prehistorical eras. Alcohol is a traditional beverage for food in China and it is beneficial to health if one drinks it when and only when he likes because that could increase his total dopamine which is what makes one happy and therefore healthy, dopamine is that pneuma which is the sunshine to one’s health in the Inner Bible of the Yellow Emperor, and this is same to the view that one’s mood is the determinant factor to one’s health, as modern medicine thinks. For the moderate intake of alcohol is healthy, it is different from and totally not drug, drug actually decreases one’s dopamine and only damages one’s health, and alcohol is not a drug, and it could increase one’s dopamine when he likes and therefore benefit one’s health. Alcohol is a healthy food when taking it moderately, it would directly exist in blood after drinking and its disinfection effect by denaturing proteins could probably still same work even being diluted in blood and may be able curing the 2019n-Cov infection.
