When trying to lose weight through surgical procedures, the most successful patients have regular obesity surgery support. This type of support can come from many different sources, and each individual patient will have unique needs. The best support often comes from the friends and family members of surgery patients. To lose weight effectively, patients need a balance of financial, emotional, and spiritual support throughout the entire surgical process. Encouragement from close friends can lift the spirits of an individual trying to lose weight. Medical facilities also offer support groups for patients who have undergone weight loss surgery to allow them to share experiences and success stories.

Leukemia patients suffer from a deficiency of platelets, among deficiencies of normal blood cells.
Platelets are important clotting factors. A lack of platelets in the blood results in hypocoagulability. This predisposes patients to hemorrhages (bleeding diathesis). This means that if a leukemia patient suffers from external or internal trauma, they tend to bleed really easy.
What i don't get is this- what about patients who did not suffer from any injury? Do they still bleed spontaneously? What causes them to bleed? There must be something damaging the blood vessels or causing an increase in endothelial gaps (allowing passage of red blood cells) before blood actually appears in the nose or mouth, right? Is high blood pressure such a cause and what other causes are there?

There is encouraging new evidence that suggests hand-held technology can help patients get a grip on pain management. Many fibromyalgia patients may want to consider using small electronic devices or PDAs to monitor, track, and record their daily symptoms. By tracking their experiences in this way, physicians are finding it is easier to make connections between a patient's level of stress, perceived pain, fatigue, and other influential emotional issues.
Fibromyalgia is a complicated physical condition that can make finding a treatment solution very difficult for doctors and patients. Researchers from The Journal of Pain, may have discovered a new technique that can help--using PDAs and other electronic devices to record and monitor patient progress and setbacks.
The study was organized by researchers from both the University of Washington and the University of Utah. In all, 81 female participants with fibromyalgia helped researchers better understand how things like pain, emotions, and stress are interrelated. Each study participant was provided a PDA to record important information related to pain, sleep, emotions, and other concerns for a combined thirty days.
Theories and Conclusions
The scientist involved in the study hypothesized that by immediately recording the issues patients and doctors could develop more advantageous treatment regimens. Traditionally, patient self-assessments would be performed in the doctor's office at a scheduled appointment, based mostly on the patient's ability to recall information. This method proved to be ineffective at times, as recall is sometimes influenced by a patient's present circumstances.
The good news is that the study offers hope to patients and doctors who are working together to battle chronic pain conditions including fibromyalgia. It also illustrates the connection between negative moods, stress, fatigue and a worsening of pain.
By using PDAs for daily reporting, experts are hopeful they can get more reliable data to use when treating patients with fibromyalgia.

ps: QUIT CHEATING ON YOUR EMT-B TAKEHOME TEST
It's actually Shamed. Patients who rely on EMS personnel or other healthcare providers only become helpful once the idea of help arriving comes to them and as they are on their way.
If you were to take a multiple choice testwith therest of your class and you came across aquestionyou didn't understand well but saw that no one else has asked about that particular question, you might feel shameful that they might know what the question really meant and you didn't, keeping you from asking. Not that you should refrain from asking questions. That was only to relate to how a patient would feel when relying on EMS personnel so often.
P.S.: Don't knowingly provide false answers to people who need them. A lot of people take this test as an open book and are welcome to use all resources at their disposal.
