This review of existing literature explores the complexities surrounding asthma. It delves into complications, strategies for managing the condition, and the crucial role that environmental factors play in worsening it. Uncontrolled asthma in children has far-reaching consequences as it affects lung function, physical activity levels, and overall quality of life. Early recognition and addressing of these complications are essential to minimize long-term effects. The management of childhood asthma has evolved to focus on treatment plans, with corticosteroids being a key component. For cases, advanced therapeutic options like biologics are available. Indoor and outdoor environmental triggers have an impact on asthma exacerbations, making targeted preventive measures necessary. Education plays a role by providing caregivers and children with asthma action plans as well as proper inhaler technique guidance. Regular follow-up visits ensure assessment and adjustment of treatment plans while fostering a relationship between healthcare providers and families. Comprehensive care for childhood asthma involves an approach that includes pediatricians, pulmonologists, allergists, and respiratory therapists. The triad of interventions, environmental modifications, and educational strategies forms an encompassing framework for the management of asthma. This review highlights how crucial it is to tackle childhood asthma issues. By doing so, we can improve outcomes. Promote the overall well-being of children who are affected by this condition.","PeriodicalId":73438,"journal":{"name":"International journal of community medicine and public health","volume":" 1167","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138960169","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}

Nurses’ attentiveness in monitoring these symptoms and vital signs enables response and lifesaving interventions. Furthermore, advancements in healthcare technology like automated monitoring systems and telehealth platforms enhance nurse’s ability to detect events by allowing real time data collection and remote monitoring. This review explores the role that nurses play in detecting events early on with a specific focus, on monitoring vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate. The comprehensive management of events encompasses accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment, patient education and modification of risk factors.

Liquid biopsies are particularly valuable as they provide real-time insights into tumor dynamics and responses to treatment by analyzing circulating tumor cells and cell-free DNA. Advanced imaging modalities offer enhanced sensitivity and resolution for the detection and monitoring of tumors. Genomic profiling techniques help unravel the complexities of tumors to guide therapies. Novel biomarkers show promise in types of cancer by aiding in screening prognosis determination and treatment monitoring. Innovative assay platforms allow for the analysis of biomarkers to improve diagnosis. The integration of intelligence (AI) and machine learning has been instrumental in interpreting clinical and molecular data alongside traditional laboratory techniques.

As kidney function declines, it leads to several metabolic abnormalities including dysregulation of mineral metabolism. It is also reported that hyperphosphatemia in patients with advanced kidney disease is associated with an increased risk of mortality and cardiovascular events, and is higher in dialysis-dependent chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients compared to non-dialysis CKD. However, data in the Indian context is limited. Objectives were to evaluate and compare serum phosphorus levels and associated factors in non-dialysis and dialysis CKD patients. Also, the impact of dietary phosphate restriction and the use of phosphate binders on serum phosphorus is analysed.\u0000Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary care hospital in Kolkata, India, with 100 CKD patients: 50 non-dialysis CKD patients and 50 dialysis-dependent CKD patients. Relevant demographic, clinical and laboratory parameters including serum phosphorus, calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), alkaline phosphatase, albumin and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were collected. Data was analyzed using appropriate statistical tests.\u0000Results: Mean serum phosphorus was significantly higher in the dialysis CKD group (6.12±0.34 mg/dl) compared to the non-dialysis CKD group (4.56±0.80 mg/dl). Serum calcium and PTH were also higher while eGFR and albumin were lower in the dialysis CKD group. Serum phosphorus levels increased with advancing CKD stages in the non-dialysis group.

It poses a substantial risk of morbidity and mortality, especially in type 1 DM patients. DKA can be triggered by various factors, including insulin deficiency, infections, alcohol abuse, and other medical conditions. Hospital admissions for DKA are increasing, with mortality rates of up to 5-9%, often linked to severe underlying illnesses and complications such as myocardial infarction and stroke. Effective DKA management involves rehydration, correction of electrolyte imbalances, insulin administration, and addressing precipitating factors. Fluid resuscitation with isotonic saline is vital to restore hydration, and continuous intravenous insulin infusion is the preferred method to control blood glucose and suppress ketone production. Electrolyte imbalances, particularly potassium, sodium, phosphate, and magnesium, require careful monitoring and correction. Clinical outcomes in DKA management include resolving acidosis, normalizing blood glucose, and restoring electrolyte balance, all while achieving and maintaining clinical stability.
