Health Care Versus Illness Care: How Nurses Can Change It by Teresa Marshall in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings Statement of the problem: Our nation has been trying to solve the “health care crisis” for decades. Part of this drive is to address the ever rising cost of American “ health care ”. An examination of our “health care” reveals it is actually illness care . Even with the current “preventative care” mandate of the Affordable Health Care Act it is not preventative care. Essentially the preventative care clause only provides for screenings to find signs of potential problems. The current system does very little for prevention. The screening is a step in the right direction to prevent complications, but really is not preventing the disease. Another system must be employed to truly provide preventative care and curb the rising cost of health care in America. Purpose of study: To explore the diseases that can be prevented with lifestyle c...

Nanoparticle (NP) Delivery of Chemotherapy Drugs to Prostate Cancer Patients by Toluleke Oloruntobi Famuyiwa in Integrative Journal of Conference Proceedings The use of nanoparticles (NPs) for enhanced drug delivery in prostate cancer treatment has been extensively explored in many studies. However, there are serious limitations to nanoparticle delivery of drugs to prostate cancer. It has become increasingly obvious that the physicochemical properties of the nanoparticles dictate the volume of the nanoparticles needed for the drug delivery. The volume of nanoparticle used in turn determines therapeutic efficacy of the drug and the nanoparticle delivery system. In this review, we reflect on the physical chemistry of NP-mediated drug delivery to the target cell/tissue during prostate cancer treatment. https://crimsonpublishers.com/icp/fulltext/ICP.000502.php For more open access journals in Crimson Publishers please click on the link: https://crimsonpublishers.co...
