Cup Of Nurses

We are going to be discussing some of the nastiest and grossest things nurses have to deal with. Every nurse has that one gross story to share. When it comes to patients we’ve seen it all from vomit, poop, skin, blood, and so much more.

Some of the nastiest part for us are:
- The respiratory secretions
- Oral Care
- Vomit
- Elderly Genitalia
- Wounds
- Poop
-
What's the nastiest part of Nursing for you?

For this week's Cup of News, we will be discussing the current study about Colorectal screening age 45 instead of 50 and the sleep aid medication linked to increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease.

The American Cancer Society recommends that people at average risk of colorectal cancer start regular screening at age 45. This can be done either with a sensitive test that looks for signs of cancer in a person’s stool (a stool-based test) or with an exam that looks at the colon and rectum (a visual exam).

According to the National Cancer Institute, colorectal cancers diagnosed before age 50 have increased by 51% since 1994. Research by the American Cancer Society shows that these younger people are more likely to receive a late-stage diagnosis, which is more challenging to treat. On the other hand, a recent study concludes that anticholinergic use for ≥3 months increased the risk of dementia on average by an estimated 46% versus nonuse.

This relationship was consistent in studies assessing overactive bladder medications. Results of a recent meta-analysis, however, suggest that the link between anticholinergics and cognitive impairment/dementia has not been fully established.

In this episode, we are going to be discussing the difference between nursing school and actual nursing.

Nurses always say to their students or orientees “ Nursing is a lot different than clinical.” We even say it quite often.

Nursing school and nursing are 2 separate things especially in the following aspects:

1. G-tubes, catheters, and IV pushes
2. Physician’s orders and patient compliance
3. Double gloving and wet to dry dressing
4. Short staffing and there’s no black and white

Join us as we delve into the expectations versus the reality of nursing.

In this episode, we are going to take a look into 2 different studies regarding the effectiveness of aspirin and the effectiveness of left atrial appendage closures.

We are also going to discuss different types of plant milk and how they compare to regular cow milk.

The debate about which milk is healthiest has been going on for years. We know cow milk is rich in many vitamins and minerals and has been drunk for years. Plant milk has been pushed as a good substitute for people who cannot or do not want to drink regular milk. How do they compare?

Catch the full episode for more information.

In this episode, we will talk about the pros vs. cons of working in a teaching hospital.

Working at a teaching hospital can be great for learning and you’ll work with new residents every other month but at times it can be frustrating as well due to the lack of experience. The residences tend to be very smart and catch on fast.

Academic enterprise at teaching hospitals has research centers covering cardiovascular, genetics, gene therapy, gastroenterology, neuroscience, immunology, surgery, organ transplantation, stem cells, biomedical imaging, and cancer, with clinical trials and research projects.

In this episode, we are going to talk about the importance of the gut microbiome. There is current research going on about our gut health, specifically what grows in our gut.

For many years we have overlooked the importance of our gut microbiome and the negative effects of dysbiosis. The majority of our immune system is housed in our gut so it makes sense to look at the place that is introduced to foreign objects because it is responsible for the breakdown of food and anything else that enters the mouth.

Our gut is what keeps us alive, the microorganisms living in you are the ones that are keeping you alive and functioning.

Why should nurses consider carrying nursing liability insurance to protect themselves from litigation? Because we live in an increasingly litigious society. Nurses are human, and, unfortunately, they can make mistakes.

In this episode, we will be talking about nurse liability. Talking about the legalities of nursing and medicine are not the most exciting things but it is something every nurse should be aware of. What exactly are nurses liable for, what is liability insurance, and should you buy liability insurance.

Genetically Modified Mosquitoes will be released for the first time in Florida. The specific type is the Aedes mosquito which accounts to 4% of all mosquitoes in the district and most responsible for the spread of diseases. It is shown to carry certain diseases like dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, zika, and lymphatic filariasis.

In this episode, we discussed about how this GMO Modification will work and  how they plan to control the diseases from the gene modification of mosquitoes.

We also delve into a recent research suggesting that certain gut bacteria may be linked to high blood pressure and how this can be used in order to control hypertension.

Scientists have a new understanding of how skin repairs itself.
The team in University of Manchester achieved an increase of 20-25% in the division of every fourth cell isolated from the inner layer of the skin.

This was cause by two transcription factors (proteins that bin the DNA) which enhanced the natural process of skin cell division, a desirable outcome in regenerative medicine.

Listen to the full episode as we talk more about Skin Regeneration, Simulation and Vibration Theory.
