Abstract: The theory of unpleasant symptoms (TOUS) is a middle-range theory that was developed in 1995 and scrutinized in 1997. It comprises of three main elements: the symptoms that the patient is experiencing; the factors that influence them, and the consequences of that experience.Factors such as physiological, psychological, and situational factors may influence symptom experience; and the effect of multiple factors over the symptom experience can be measured in terms of four dimensionssuch as timing, intensity, quality, and distress.Consequences of the symptom experience can be measured in terms of deviation from the normal performance levelsuch.......

Abstract: Background: Efficient and effective Health Management Information System (HMIS) is critical to both the healthcare system and to people's health, by providing the system and data that is central for target setting, policy planning and implementation. There is tremendous increase in available and accessible information; however, growth in the quantity of information has not necessarily been accompanied by improvements in quality of data. There has also been evolution and potential of information technologies in enhancing the relevance of the quality health information management. Thus, various technological aspects such as system design, knowledge, training and skills that support HMIS within these environments are key in ensuring data quality.

Abstract: Background:The aim of this case is to assess the role of exercise as a non-invasive method to evaluate lower extremity arterial disease (LEAD) and concomitant medical treatment.
Case summary: a 80 year-old-man with intermittent claudication (IC) and no chronic cardiac disease. In addition to complete physical examination, doppler ultrasound (DUS) of lower arteries limbs showed occlusion by thrombotic obliterant aneurysm in femoro-popliteal artery. By-pass surgery was not succeeded, with occlusion of saphenous vein. A walking program was initiated, in addition to medical therapy. DUS was repeated after 12 and 24 months.....

Abstract: Introduction: An Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) is a type of examination often used in health sciences is often used in undergraduate nursing education as a means to provide standardised and objective evaluation of clinical skills required for nurses. OSCE help the student to better learning and master in clinical skill development. OSCE is a safe and effective teaching method to teach students clinical skill in a controlled environment under the supervision of teacher. OSCE is first introducing in 1970 to assess the skills of medical students. Since then it is continuously used especially in nursing students. Aim: The purpose of the paper is providing evidence regarding academic benefits of OSCE in undergraduate nursing students. The aim of this paper is analysing the finding of nursing educators and nursing students perception towards OSCE....

Abstract: Congenital microgastria is an extremely rare anomaly of the stomach that occurs as a result of impairment of normal foregut development. It was first described in 1894, and to date, only 63 cases have been reported. It often occurs in a constellation of other anomalies of the gastrointestinal, cardiopulmonary, renal, central nervous systems and limb. Rarely does it occur in isolation. Congenital Microgastria presents with frequent vomiting, gastroesophageal reflux disease, recurrent aspiration pneumonia, and failure to grow. The diagnosis is made with a contrast study of the upper gastrointestinal tract which shows a small, tubular stomach in the midline, incompetence of the cardiac sphincter, and megaesophagus. Upper gastrointestinal scopy shows a dilated esophagus with a small, tubular or blind stomach. Treatment options include conservative management with frequent nasogastric tube feeding...
