摘要:

The condition of “sudden hearing loss” is characterized by an abrupt and usually unilateral reduction of hearing. The loss may affect any frequency and may range from mild to profound in degree. This type of hearing loss causes particular difficulty in assessment because several chronic conditions may manifest similar initial symptoms. Sudden hearing loss is an emergency which demands astute recognition and a prompt otolaryngological referral. The key to prompt recognition in the primary care setting includes the maintenance of a high index of suspicion accompanied by a thorough and accurate patient history.

摘要:

This article reports the results of a correlational study that explored the association between the three factors of pregravid weight, prenatal weight gain at 28 weeks and maternal age, and the subsequent development of pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH). A significant relationship between low maternal age and PIH development was found. Further data analysis showed that PIH occurred significantly more often when the second trimester mean arterial pressure (MAP) did not drop to a level lower than the first trimester MAP. Clinically, emphasis should be placed on early detection of women at high risk for PIH development. Analysis of the MAP changes could prove to be a low-cost, effective and low-risk predictive test for PIH development.

摘要:

A significant portion of our nation's health care is financed by employer-sponsored health care benefit plans. Employers now realize the importance of devising cost-saving measures beyond restrictions on coverage for services. In 1984 a corporation in the Southeast United States established a nurse practitioner-managed health care center on-site for employees and certain dependents. This health care center offers quality primary care, identification of risk factors, early intervention and health education. The intangible benefits include easy access to health care and time-saving convenience. The health care center demonstrated impressive cost-effectiveness. The combination of a self-funded insurance program and an on-site nurse practitioner-managed primary health care practice saved the company more than $791,000 in 1987. Establishing health care centers at the workplace offers new opportunities for nurse practitioner practice sites and cost savings for corporations.
