They have an increased surface 227 Hematology area and increased mechanical fragility which leads to hemolysis and hence severe anemia hypertension goals jnc 8 100 mg trandate with visa. They are primarily seen in sickle cell anemia where there is substitution of valine for glutamic acid at position 6 of the beta chain blood pressure medication new zealand discount trandate 100 mg. These are probably the most common artefacts in a blood film consistently found in blood samples that have been stored for some time room temperature and because of diffusion of alkaline substances from the slide into the cells resulting in an increase in pH and thus crenation of the cells blood pressure medication foot pain trandate 100 mg buy otc. Invivo they are seen in uremia, pyruvate kinase deficiency and neonatal liver diseases. They are found in almost all anemias where approximately 10% of the red cells may assume elliptical/oval shape and in hereditary elliptocytosis where almost all the red cells are elliptical. The first one is small fragments of cells of varying shape, sometimes with sharp angles or spines. The other type is larger cells mainly with round contour from which fragments have been split off, e. They are formed as a result of loss of membrane due to chemicals, bacterial toxins, antibody-mediated hemolytic anemias. They are commonly seen in hereditary spherocytosis that is associated with abnormalities in membrane protein, lipid loss and excessive flux of Na+ across the membrane. They are often associated with hyperproteinemia, chronic inflammatory disorders, multiple myeloma, macroglobulinemia. Abnormalities in Red cell Hemoglobinization 230 Hematology • Hypochromia/ Hypochromasia Hypochromic red cells contain less than the normal amount of hemoglobin and hence the central pale area is increased to more than one-third of the cell diameter. In severe hypochromia the hemoglobin appears as a thin rim at the periphery of the cell. It is a consistent finding in iron deficiency anemia, thalassemia and sideroblastic anemia. In doubtful cases it is wise to compare the staining of the suspect film with that of a normal film stained at the same time. This can be distinguished from a true one in that the change in the central pale area is sudden while in true hypochromia it is gradual. Usually deep staining of red cells is seen in macrocytosis when the red cell thickness is increased and the mean cell volume also increased and in spherocytes in which the red cell thickness is greater than normal and the mean cell hemoglobin concentration is slightly increased. An increase in reticulocytes in the peripheral blood will be seen as a polychromatic red cell population which is also macrocytic. It is a finding in treated iron deficiency anemia where there is the new normochromic red cell population and the original hypochromic population and inpatients with hypochromic anemia who have been transfused. Red cell inclusions • Basophilic stippling/Punctate basophilia the red cells contain small irregularly shaped granules which stain blue in Wright stain and which are found distributed throughout the cell surface. What parameters of the red cell morphology are appraised in red cell morphology study on a stained blood film? Describe the standard grading system used to evaluate changes in erythrocyte morphology on a stained blood film? A physiologic definition stresses the inability of an anemic individual to maintain normal tissue oxygenation. Alterations in total circulating plasma volume as well as of total circulating hemoglobin mass determine the hemoglobin concentration. Reduction in plasma volume 236 Hematology (as in dehydration) may mask anemia or even cause polycythemia; conversely, an increase in plasma volume (as with splenomegaly or pregnancy) may cause anemia even with a normal total circulating red cell and hemoglobin mass. After acute major blood loss, anemia is not immediately apparent since the total blood volume is reduced. It takes up to a day for the plasma volume to be replaced and so for the degree of anemia to become apparent. The initial clinical features of major blood loss are, therefore, due to reduction in blood volume rather than to anemia. Clinical features If the patient does have symptoms, these are usually shortness of breath (particularly on exercise), weakness, lethargy, palpitation and headaches. In older subjects symptoms of cardiac failure, angina pectoris or intermittent claudication or confusion may be present. Visual disturbances due to retinal hemorrhages may complicate very severe anemia, particularly of rapid onset. General signs include pallor of mucous membrane 237 Hematology which occurs if the hemoglobin level is less than 9-10g/ dl. Skin color, on the other hand, is not a reliable sign of anemia; the state of the skin circulation rather than the hemoglobin content of the blood largely determined skin color.

Make sure the HemoCue photometer is switched on and that the cuvette holder is in its outer position blood pressure for heart attack trandate 100 mg purchase mastercard. The photometer will show the letters 'Hb' for six seconds in its display when switched on blood pressure medication beginning with a order trandate pills in toronto. Hold the microcuvette by two fingers in its rear end and bring the filling tip in contact with a freely-flowing blood that comes from a skin puncture blood pressure chart systolic diastolic effective 100 mg trandate. If air bubbles are seen in the optical eye of the cuvette due to inadequate filling of blood, the cuvette should be discarded and another cuvette be filled properly with the blood sample. When completely filled, wipe off the outside of the microcuvette with a clean and lint-free tissue. After 30-50 seconds the photometer will find the steady state of the chemical reaction and the result will appear in the display. The display will show this result for 5 minutes provided the cuvette holder is left in its inner position. A remeasurement may be initiated by moving the cuvette holder to its outer position. The optical eye of the cuvette should also be inspected for air bubbles, which if 157 Hematology present, can produce erroneously low reading. Calibration may be checked daily by using the control cuvette supplied with the photometer. Oxyhemoglobin Method This is a reliable and inexpensive method of measuring hemoglobin but there is no stable oxyhemoglobin (HbO2) reference standard solution available for the direct calibration of the HbO2 technique. Preparation of a calibration graph for use with a filter colorimeter, 158 Hematology requires the use of a secondary blood standard, i. The absorbance of the solution is measured as oxyhemoglobin in a filter colorimeter using a yellow-green filter or at wavelength 540nm. Methemoglobin and carboxyhemoglobin are not accurately detected but these are normally present only in trace amounts and are not oxygen-carrying forms of hemoglobin. Preparation of calibration graph for HbO2 technique A series of dilutions are prepared form a whole blood or standard hemolysate of known hemoglobin value, 159 Hematology preferable between 140-160g/l. Prepare a 1 in 201 dilution of the standard blood or hemolysate in the ammonia water diluting fluid as follows: • Dispense 20ml of diluting fluid into a screw cap container. Tube 1: Hb value of standard x 4/5 = Hb g/l 160 Hematology Tube 2: Hb value of standard x 3/5 = Hb g/l Tube 3: Hb value of standard x 2/5 = Hb g/l Tube 4: Hb value of standard x 1/5 = Hb g/l Tube 5: Hb value of standard = Hb g/l (no calculation required) 6 Take a sheet of graph paper and plot the absorbance of each standard (vertical axis) against its concentration in g/l (horizontal axis). Measure carefully 20µl of capillary or well-mixed venous blood and dispense into 3. Using the table prepared from the calibration graph, read off the patient’s hemoglobin value. Disadvantage • Certain forms of Hb are resistant to alkali denaturation, in particular Hb-F and Hb Bart. The 162 Hematology sample is then cooled rapidly in cold water and when cool matched against the standard in a color matched against the standard in a colorimeter at 540nm. Standard A mixture of chromium potassium sulphate, cobaltous sulphate and potassium dichromate in aqueous solution. Acid Hematin Method (Sahli-Hellige) This visual comparative method of estimating hemoglobin although still used in some health centers and hospitals is not recommended because of its unacceptable imprecision and inaccuracy. Most of the problems associated with the Sahli method are due to the instability of acid hematin, fading of the color glass standard and difficulty in matching it to the acid hematin solution. HbF is not converted to acid hematin and therefore the Sahli method is not suitable for measuring hemoglobin levels in infants up to 3 months. Principle 163 Hematology Hemoglobin in a sample of blood is converted to a brown colored acid hematin by treatment with 0. Materials Sahli hemoglobinometer Sahli pipette Stirring glass rod Dropping pipette Absorbent cotton 0. Fill the graduated tube to the '20' mark of the red graduation or to the 3g/dl mark of the yellow graduation with 0.

Proper hand hygiene can be accomplished by frequent hand washing and frequent use of an alcohol-based handrub blood pressure pump generic trandate 100 mg visa. In most clinical situations heart attack cpr trandate 100 mg order line, an alcohol-based handrub should be used for routine hand antisepsis prehypertension icd 9 code trandate 100 mg purchase with mastercard. Commercial handrubs, liquid soaps and skin-care products are sold in disposable containers, and may be used provided they meet recognized international standards (such as those of the American Society for Testing and Materials or the European Committee for Standardization), and are well accepted by health care workers. Where such products are not available or are too costly, an alcohol-based handrub can be 2 produced locally at low cost. Prevention of Infection Chapter 8-3 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. All staff should wash their hands with soap and water before starting their clinic duties, and whenever hands are visibly soiled. In addition, staff should use an alcohol-based handrub frequently, particularly before and after direct contact with each patient. Hands should be washed or treated with a handrub: • before and after direct contact with each patient; • after removing gloves; • before handling an invasive device for patient care, whether or not gloves are used; • after contact with blood, blood products, body fluids or excretions, mucous membranes, non-intact skin, or wound dressings; • after using the toilet (normal personal hygiene). Prevention of Infection Chapter 8-4 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. If single-use disposable paper towels are not available, ensure that towels are not used more than once before laundering. Staff with an allergy or adverse reaction to alcohol-based handrubs should use other handrubs or soap and water. Surgical hand scrub the hand scrub procedure for the surgeon is described in Chapter 4. Personal protective equipment includes gloves, masks, protective eyewear (face shield or goggles), cap or hair cover, apron, gown, and footwear (boot or shoe covers). Personal protective equipment should be used by health care workers who provide direct care to patients, support staff, including medical aides, cleaners, and laundry staff, and family members who provide care to patients in situations where they may have contact with blood, blood products and body fluids. Laboratory staff who handle patient specimens should always use personal protective equipment. Reusable equipment should be decontaminated according to the manufacturer’s instructions or laundered according to the health care facility protocol. Gloves the use of gloves does not replace the need for hand hygiene by either hand rubbing or hand washing. Gloves should be worn whenever the person is likely to come into contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials, mucous membranes, or non-intact skin. Gloves should be removed Prevention of Infection Chapter 8-7 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. Change or remove gloves in the following situations: during patient care if moving from a contaminated body site to a clean body site within the same patient; after patient contact before touching another patient. This situation is not likely to apply with properly screened patients undergoing clinic-based circumcision. Avoid oil-based hand lotions and creams, because they can damage latex rubber surgical and examination gloves. Bacteria and other microorganisms that cause disease can collect under long nails. There is currently no standardized, validated and affordable procedure for reprocessing gloves. Masks, caps and protective eyewear Masks protect the mucous membranes of the mouth and nose from possible infections, as well as reduce the risks of transmission of infections from the health care worker. They should be worn by anyone undertaking a procedure Prevention of Infection Chapter 8-8 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. Surgical masks are designed to resist fluids, and are preferable to cotton or gauze masks. Caps or hair covers and eyewear, such as plastic goggles, safety glasses, face shields and visors, protect against accidental splashes, spills and leaks of blood and other body fluids. Aprons and the surgeon’s gown Aprons made of rubber or plastic provide a waterproof barrier to keep contaminated fluids off the health worker’s clothing and skin.

As a result, the number 2,000 of persons living with diabetes has 1,000 increased substantially in the past several years. Number of new cases of diabetes among adults (aged 25 and older) in each year, Manitoba 1986-93. Between 1986 and 1993, the number of 50,000 adults (age 25 and older) with clinically 40,000 diagnosed diabetes increased by almost 60% (Figure 2). By 1993, there were 30,000 almost 45,000 Manitoba adults who had 20,000 been diagnosed with diabetes. It is estimated that there are now over 55,000 10,000 adults with clinically diagnosed diabetes in Manitoba.

Evidence-based interventions include cognitive-behavioral therapy to help participants learn positive social and coping skills arrhythmia chest pain generic 100 mg trandate amex, contingency management approaches to reinforce positive behavioral change heart attack labs quality trandate 100 mg, and motivational enhancement to increase treatment engagement and retention heart arrhythmia 4 year old buy trandate american express. In those addicted to opioid drugs, agonist/partial agonist medications can also help normalize brain function, and antagonist medications can facilitate abstinence. For juvenile offenders, treatments that involve the family and other aspects of the drug abuser’s environment have established effcacy. Drug abuse treatment plans for incarcerated offenders can facilitate successful re-entry into the community by incorporating relevant transition plans and services. Drug abusers often have mental and physical health, family counseling, parenting, educational, and vocational needs, so medical, psychological, and social services are often crucial components of successful treatment. Case management approaches can be used to provide assistance in obtaining and integrating drug abuse treatment with community services. How long should drug abuse treatment last for individuals involved in the criminal justice system? While individuals progress through drug abuse treatment at different rates, one of the most reliable fndings in treatment research is that lasting reductions in criminal activity and drug abuse are related to length of treatment. Generally, better outcomes are associated with treatment that lasts longer than 90 days, with treatment completers achieving the greatest reductions in drug abuse and criminal behavior. Research has shown that treatment provided in prison and continued in the community after release can reduce the risk of recidivism to criminal behavior as well as relapse to drug use. Early phases of treatment help the participant stop using drugs and begin a therapeutic process of change. Later stages address other problems related to drug abuse and, importantly, help the individual learn how to self-manage the drug problem. Because addiction is a chronic disease, drug relapse and return to treatment are common features of recovery. Thus, treatment may need to extend over a long period across multiple episodes of care. How can rewards and sanctions be used effectively with drug-involved offenders in treatment? The systematic application of behavioral management principles underlying reward and punishment can help individuals reduce their drug use and criminal behavior. Rewards and sanctions are most likely to change behavior when they are certain to follow the targeted behavior, when they follow swiftly, and when they are perceived as fair. It is important to recognize and reinforce progress toward responsible, abstinent behavior. Rewarding positive behavior is more effective in producing long-term positive change than punishing negative behavior. Indeed, punishment alone is an ineffective public health and safety intervention for offenders whose crime is directly related to drug use (Leukefeld et al. Nonmonetary rewards such as social recognition can be as effective as monetary ones. A graduated range of rewards given for meeting predetermined goals can be an effective strategy. Contingency management strategies, proven effective in community settings, use voucher-based incentives or rewards, such as bus tokens, to reinforce abstinence (measured by negative drug tests) or to shape progress toward other treatment goals, such as program session attendance or compliance with medication regimens. Contingency management is most effective when the contingent reward closely follows the behavior being monitored. This approach improved parolees’ attendance at integrated community parole and addiction treatment sessions, as well as increased use of treatment and individual counseling services (Friedmann et al. Graduated sanctions, which invoke less punitive responses for early and less serious noncompliance and increasingly severe sanctions for more serious or continuing problems, can be an effective tool in conjunction with drug testing. The effective use of graduated sanctions involves consistent, predictable, and clear responses to noncompliant behavior. Drug testing can determine when an individual is having diffculties with recovery.

General measures: Supportive and symptomatic therapy such as fluid replacement 2 blood pressure medication that starts with m trandate 100 mg order on line. Adult worms in the small intestine: Adult worms in the small intestine are usually asymptomatic blood pressure chart health canada discount trandate 100 mg with visa. Laboratory diagnosisIdentification of eggs or proglottids in the stool; use of scotch-tape may be helpful as in pinworm infection as the eggs are sometimes present in the perianal area arteria lingualis order trandate 100 mg with amex. All patients suspected of having cysticercosis should be referred to higher centers for better diagnosis and management. The spores are able to survive cooking, and if the cooked food (meat and poultry) is not cooled enough, they will germinate. The pH change from the stomach to the intestine is believed to induce sporulation. However, due to limitation of facilities, one has to base presumptive diagnosis on clinical features. General After completing this module the learner will be able to assess and manage cases of food borne disease. Specific After reading this module you will be able to: ¾ Assess the patient with food borne disease ¾ Make the Nursing diagnosis ¾ Plan the Nursing intervention ¾ Implement the planned intervention ¾ Evaluate the outcomes of the intervention 3. Subjective Data • Onset and duration of the disease (14) • History of ingestion of contaminated food (food with unusual odor or taste, uncooked vegetables, raw meat etc. Nursing Diagnosis Based on the classification of the food borne diseases and findings of the nursing assessment the following actual and potential nursing diagnosis can be made: i. Poisoning related to the ingestion of contaminated food with chemical poisons, poisonous plants and toxins. Altered nutrition: less than body requirements related to anorexia, vomiting and diarrhea (28). Knowledge deficit about possible causes of the disease and preventive measures related to lack of information. Risk for fluid volume deficit related to vomiting and increased loss of fluids and electrolytes from gastro-intestinal tract. Set a priority • Consider urgency of the problem • Give priority to physical needs of the patient 2. Establish goals for the nursing intervention • To remove or inactivate the poison before it is absorbed. Establish expected outcomes the patient: • Reveals reduced/ no effects of the poisoning chemical, poisonous plant or toxins • Reports less pain • Reports a decrease in the frequency of diarrheal stools • Tolerates small frequent feeding • Verbalizes concerns and fears • Reports the different causes and preventive measures of food borne disease 78 • Has no observable signs and symptoms of fluid balance • Prevents spread of the infection to others D. Reducing / eliminating the effects of the poisonous chemical, poisonous plant or toxins ¾ Attain control of the air way, ventilation, and oxygenation • Prepare for mechanical ventilation if respirations are depressed. Use gastric emptying procedures as; the following may be used: • Syrup of ipecac to induce vomiting in the alert patient. Administer the specific chemical antagonist or physiologic antagonist as early as possible to reverse or diminish effects of the toxin. Poisons may excite the central nervous system or the patient may have seizures from oxygen deprivation. Measures to Relief Pain To ease anal irritation (pains) caused by diarrhea, clean the area carefully and apply a repellent cream, such as petroleum jelly, warm sitz baths and application of witch hazel compresses can also soothe irritation. Establishing a Regular Pattern of Bowel Elimination and Maintaining Nutritional Balance ¾ Administer medications, as ordered, correlate dosages and routes with the patient’s meals and activities. If the patient is receiving a potassium supplement, be especially alert for the development of hyperkalemia (14,28,29). Reducing Anxiety ¾ An opportunity is provided for the patient to express fears and worry about being embarrassed by lack of control over bowel elimination. The patient is encouraged to be sensitive to body clues that warn of impending urgency (abdominal cramping, hyperactive bowel sounds). Special absorbent underwear, which will protect clothes if there is accidental fecal discharge, may be helpful. Teaching about Possible Causes of the Disease and Preventive Measures ¾ Teach the patient about his or her specific disease and therapeutic regimens. She or he is instructed about personal hygiene and the maintenance of the home environment to prevent the disease. Teach also about proper storage of the food items, chemicals, insecticides/ pesticides, detergents and petroleum products brought to home for household purposes. Instruct the patient to thoroughly cook foods, to properly preserve perishable foods, to always wash his hands with water and soap before handling food, especially after using the bath room toilet, to clean utensils thoroughly, and to eliminate flies and roaches in the home.

Syndromes

• Complete blood count (CBC)
• Chest x-ray or electrocardiogram (EKG), for some patients
• Small changes in potassium levels can have a big effect on the activity of nerves and muscles, especially the heart.
• At grade 1, you may not have symptoms.
• Late-stage syphillis
• Before menopause: 5 to 25 IU/L
• Electrolyte imbalances
• Difficulty walking (very rare)
• A feeling of indigestion or heartburn
• One measurement may not represent the big picture. For example, a toddler may lose weight after a bout of diarrhea, but will likely regain the weight after the illness is gone.

Diagnosis • Microscopic recovery of the typical eggs • Concentration techniques may be required to detect light infections TreatmentMebendazole, albendazole or Pyrantel pamoate: similar to ascariasis Dietary therapy: supplementation of oral iron preparations for iron deficiency anemia, plus proteins & vitamins. After ingestion, the eggs hatch in the upper intestine and liberate larvae which migrate to the region of the ileum. Copulation (mating) of the worms takes place in the lower small intestine, and then the females migrate to the ceacum or lower bowel and pass through the anus where upon contact with the air they shower their sticky eggs on the perianal skin. Infections occur by ingestion of the eggs that reach the mouth on soiled hands or in contaminated food or drink. The intense perianal itching is an important factor in autoinfection and maintenance of the primary reservoir. Because of the predominance of person-to-person transmission, autoinfection through the perianal-fecal-oral route and through egg contamination of blankets and clothing, enterobiasis is more common in some families and institutions (orphanages, boarding schools, asylums, and refugee camps) where people live under crowded conditions. Diagnosis Eggs are not typically found in the stool because they are released on the perineum. Therefore, eggs deposited in the perianal region are detected from perianal swab or by the application of clear cellulose tape to the perianal region in the morning. Etiology and Life Cycle the adult parasite is small in size, the female measuring about 2. The mature female lies buried in the mucosa and sub mucosa of the intestine where it librates eggs. The eggs hatch to produce the rhabditiform larvae that are passed in 19 the stool. The rhabditiform larvae may undergo further development in either of two ways: (1) As free living adult under suitable conditions of moisture and temperature or (2) As infective filariform larvae under unfavorable conditions. After skin penetration the filariform larvae reach the lymphatics or capillaries and are carried to the right side of the heart and pulmonary capillaries. Then most of them migrate up the respiratory passages, reach the esophagus and pass down into the stomach and intestines. The larvae mature to adult female worms in the small intestine and penetrate its mucosa. Finally mature female worms produce eggs that hatch and maintain continuity of the cycle. Besides skin penetration by infective larvae, autoinfection is commonly observed in this disease. The autoinfection cycle involves the change of rhabditiform larvae to filariform larvae within the bowel lumen and their penetration either the perianal skin or the wall of the intestine and maintain the cycle in the absence of reinfection. Epidemiology Strongyloides stercoralis is patchily distributed in tropical areas particularly in SubSaharan Africa and South East Asia. Human beings usually acquire the infection by skin penetration of the infective filariform larvae. However, due to its “autoinfective” life cycle, strogyloidiasis can become permanently established in humans without the need to reinfection and a chronic clinical syndrome occurs. The parasite is not highly prevalent in this country, but it occurs in the same geographic areas and communities as hookworm infection. Cutaneous manifestations include recurrent urticaria involving the buttocks and wrists, and an itchy skin lesion along the courses of larval migration. Abdominal symptoms include epigastric pain which resembles peptic ulcer disease, nausea, diarrhea and mild intestinal bleeding. The migration of larvae through the lungs may cause cough & occasionally severe respiratory symptoms. B) Disseminated Strongyloidiasis (hyperinfection syndrome) In this case, the larva may invade not only the intestinal and the lung tissues, but also the central nervous system, liver and kidneys. Patients may have severe and often bloody diarrhea, bowel inflammation with multiple microperforations, bacterial peritonitis and paralytic ileus, gram-negative sepsis, hemoptysis, pleural effusion and hypoxia, and encephalitis and bacterial meningitis. Diagnosis In uncomplicated strongyloidiasis, the finding of rhabditiform larvae in feces is diagnostic. Therefore, serial stool examination or use of concentration techniques should be employed to improve the sensitivity of stool diagnosis. In hyperinfection syndrome, on the other hand, the larvae are easy to find in the stool or other body fluids (pleural, peritoneal, or bronchoalveolar lavage samples). Treatment Even in the asymptomatic state, strongyloidiasis must be treated because of its potential for fatal hyper infection.

Cheap trandate 100 mg buy

There are diseases hypertension clinic cheap trandate 100 mg with visa, where most of our knowledge about their molecular pathogenesis originates from animal models heart attack types order genuine trandate on-line. In contrast to humans blood pressure eye pain purchase trandate 100 mg free shipping, there is a greater possibility to investigate the connection between genotypes and phenotypes through several generations. The generation time of a mouse is 2 months (in humans it is 20-30 years), thus in a year several mouse generations can be studied. These can be used as animal-models, or through crosses we can study the connection between segregation of genetic markers and phenotypes. These animals can be kept in strictly controlled environments, thus the effects of these can be easier studied. The essential genes are usually the same; we differ from the mouse only in 300 genes. But, species like Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly) are also widely used, and a lot of pathways (like Hippo pathway, which is conserved and plays an important role in organ size control) were first discovered in this animal. Already two Nobel prizes have been given because of the studies of this species (http:/en. Among them the mice are the most significant for studying the role of genes which have a known sequence, but whose functions have not yet been determined (http:/en. By causing a specific gene to be inactive in the mouse, and observing any differences from normal behavior or physiology, researchers can infer its probable function. Mouse embryonic stem cells have been produced, in which researchers have “knocked out” each of the more than 20,000 specific mouse genes that code for proteins. By growing mice from these cells, researchers can gain insight into the role that the missing genes play in health and disease. The phenotyping effort will aim to probe the anatomy, development, physiology, behavior, and disease traits of 5000 of these mouse lines by the end of 2016 (http:/news. Knocking out genes can also be used for animal-models for different diseases (Table 10. In these animals the molecular pathomechanisms or different therapies can be studied. Here, the genes are over-expressed, or new genetic information is inserted into the mouse genome. The over-expressed genes are usually under the regulation of promoters with strong activity. It is also possible that the promoters are only active in certain organ or tissue. Earlier it was difficult to study essential genes in animals, because lack or overexpression of these genes are often lethal in embryonic development. Shortcomings of animal models It is true that the difference between animals and human at gene level is relative small. Comparing human and mouse it is also true that some processes are different, or homolog genes can have different functions. Because of these, all the results from animal models have to be confirmed in humans or human systems. Similarly, the similar diseases can have different pathomechanisms, and there are human diseases for which no good animal models have been developed so far. Experimental disease models Because different diseases can be developed by gene manipulations, this can be utilized for developing experimental disease models. It can also be carried out by inducing random mutations by mutagenic agents, then by phenotyping the animals, different strains can be developed by different crosses. Afterwards by genomic screening the genomic background of the diseases can be found out. Mutation is usually induced in male mice, which are then crossed with a wild type female. However, if the mutation is recessive, then G3 individuals homozygous for the mutation can be recovered from the G1 males (see: http:/en.

Educating and Counselling Clients and Obtaining Informed Consent Chapter 3-1 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. Group education script Below is a sample script that shows how a group education session a might be conducted. For some time we have been aware that the reproductive health needs of men and boys have not been receiving enough attention. Safer sex includes using condoms the right way every time you have sex, reducing the number of sexual partners, delaying the start of sexual relations, and avoiding penetrative sex. Male circumcision For those of you who are here to find out more about male circumcision, let’s talk a bit about that. Male circumcision is the surgical removal of the foreskin of the penis (also called the prepuce). It is very important to continue using other ways of reducing the risk of infection – using condoms the right way every time you have sex, reducing the number of sexual partners, delaying the start of sexual relations, avoiding penetrative sexual intercourse, and avoiding unsafe injections. Possible problems include pain, bleeding, swelling of the penis caused by bleeding under the skin, infection of the surgical wound, and increased sensitivity of the exposed head of the penis (glans). On average, if we operate on 50 men or boys, one will need to come back to the clinic for the treatment of a complication. It takes about 4 to 6 weeks for the wound to become strong enough to withstand sex and about 3–4 months for the wound to heal completely. We always advise clients to avoid sex or masturbation for the first 4–6 weeks after circumcision, and to use a condom during sex until the wound has completely healed (at least 6 months). Patients can go home the same day but it is important that they come back for follow-up. For example, some people think that circumcision can cause impotence (failure of erection) or reduce sexual pleasure. If time permits, other sexual and reproductive health topics can be covered (see Appendix 3. If you want to register yourself or your son for circumcision, please let us know. Educating and Counselling Clients and Obtaining Informed Consent Chapter 3-4 Male circumcision under local anaesthesia Version 3. In some to do; types of counselling, the counsellor and z criticizing clients; client talk about whatever the client wishes. In family planning counselling, the provider helps the clients make an informed decision based on their reproductive intentions and personal situation. Counselling may involve some or all of the following: • Listening to clients (or parents, for circumcision in boys who are too young to understand fully the reasons for circumcision and the risks associated with it, or who are below the legal age to consent to the operation). Confidentiality Confidentiality is an important characteristic of all sexual and reproductive health services. An atmosphere of trust will encourage clients to discuss other sexual and reproductive health needs. There is strong social pressure to conform, and considerable social stigma is associated with behaviours or conditions perceived as unusual. Counselling skills All counsellors need certain basic counselling skills in order to talk with clients in a helpful way. Empathizing Empathy is the ability to see the world through another person’s eyes and understand how that person feels. Counsellors should listen to clients carefully and show them that they understand without judging. Example: An adolescent says to the counsellor: “My girlfriend keeps asking me to go for circumcision. It is paying attention to the content of the message, as well as the client’s feelings and worries that show through his movements, tone of voice, facial expressions, and posture. Example: the client looks very nervous and is biting his nails, but tells the counsellor he is fine. Counsellor: “Sometimes when we think we are relaxed, we can still feel quite anxious inside. Open questions encourage clients to express their feelings and share information about their situation. Probing is necessary when the counsellor needs more information about the client’s feelings or situation.
