The Vocabulotherapeutic Wheel of Rs
Get PDFVocabular therapeutics is a linguo-cognitive behavioral therapy, which utilizes the principles of neurolinguistic programmingto analyze and alter choice of words, thus aiming to achieve optimization of behavior and outcomes. In this article, we sharea cyclic model, which we have termed the Vocabulotherapeutic Wheel of Rs. This includes Rapport building, Reframingand Rephrasing of speech, Resilience building along with Resource husbandry and Restraint management, in a Realistic,Respectful, and Rewarding manner. The Wheel of Rs should be incorporated in all health care-related communication
Effectiveness of Home-Based Pulmonary Rehabilitation in Patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Get PDFPulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is an effective intervention for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However,uptake of PR is low due to patient frailty, transportation issues and access. Home-based rehabilitation has been introducedin recent years to palliate the lack of feasibility for many patients to attend traditional center-based PR programs. Hence,this study was conducted to evaluate COPD patients in home-based PR. A total of 56 patients were evaluated for 6 months’period in 4 different occasions. It was concluded that home-based PR was effective as improvement occurred in all parameters
Oxiconazole: A Comprehensive Review on its Role in Superficial Fungal Infections
Get PDFOxiconazole is a topical antifungal medicine that belongs to the imidazole group. It is mainly used to treat superficial fungalinfections of the skin. It works well against different types of fungi, including dermatophytes (which cause skin infections),Candida species (a type of yeast), and some Gram-positive bacteria. Health care professionals commonly use oxiconazole totreat conditions like athlete’s foot (tinea pedis), ringworm of the body (tinea corporis), and tinea versicolor (a skin infectionthat causes discolored patches). Oxiconazole mainly stops fungi from growing (fungistatic effect), but at higher doses, itmay kill them directly (fungicidal effect). It works by blocking the production of ergosterol, an essential part of the fungalcell membrane. Without ergosterol, the membrane becomes weak and leaky, disrupting normal cell function. This reviewhighlights oxiconazole’s mode of action, range of antifungal activity, clinical uses, resistance patterns, and safety. It showswhy oxiconazole remains a valuable option in treating skin fungal infections
DAWN (Drug-Assisted Weight Normalization): Normalizing the Pursuit for Health
Get PDFObesity is accepted as a disease by professional organizations across the world. The rise in its prevalence has been matchedby enhanced understanding of its causation, clinical trajectory as well as complications. Endocrinologists are now able totreat obesity with a variety of interventions, including behavioral, dietary, oral, injectable, invasive, and surgical therapies.In this manuscript, we describe highly effective antiobesity medications available for weight loss
