Abstract:

Emergency department (ED) use for behavioral-health-associated diagnoses has steadily increased in adult and pediatric populations, accounting for 1 out of every 8 ED visits. The increase in pediatric behavioral health ED visits, combined with limited resources for treatment, has created a challenge for EDs faced with extended boarding and constant observation of this population. The generalized behavioral health guidelines used at the practice site have not been adapted for the pediatric population. This project focused on providing age- and developmentally appropriate best practice guideline

Abstract:

Children are the most important asset for the society's future. They develop into maturity depending upon how they are moulded by their families, society, and the environment. They are very sensitive and could easily get influenced or affected by the slightest change. Therefore it is important to maintain a normal set-up for them under all of their routine and disturbed mental and physical conditions.Sickness and hospitals are one thing that affect a child's psychology. Children dread to get into the harsh technological environments of today's medical environments. Hospitals are constantly evo

Abstract:

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) predominates in children ages 0-14 years and has an excellent prognosis for cure with 5-year survival exceeding 90% in the United States. However, not all children experience such positive outcomes. The purpose of this quantitative, retrospective cohort study was to evaluate differences in survival of ALL among children who reside in the 32-county Texas-Mexico border region. While factors such as poverty and health insurance have been strongly associated with poorer cancer outcomes, additional factors such as geographic isolation and treatment disparities are

Abstract:

<p>This thesis paper defends a novel conception of the child's best interest in regard to elective pediatric surgeries (EPS). First, children's capacity for decision-making is examined, and the best decision-making model for EPS is identified as the Best Interest Standard. What follows is a discussion of the interests of children in EPS, the correlation of fundamental interests to rights, and guidelines for weighing children's competing interests. Next, the role of families is considered, especially the rights and duties of parents. Finally, a reinterpretation of the Best Interest Standard is

The etiology of MS is unclear, although researchers generally agree that both environmental and genetic factors are involved. It is also unclear why some patients may only have one demyelinating event (acquired demyelinating syndrome, or ADS) and others develop chronic demyelinating disease (MS). Recent evidence suggests an association between smoking and multiple sclerosis (MS) in adults. A question
