Cancer in general Cancer is a non-communicable (non-infectious) disease, in other words it is not caused by pathogens. Cancer is caused when abnormal cells in the body divide by mitosis in an uncontrolled way by using the enzyme telomerase; this gives rise to tumours and, if the cells are malignant, cancers. Cancer is a major cause of death in the developed world. In 1999 7.3 million people worldwide died from cancers. In high income European countries cancer is known as the second biggest killer. There are over 200 different cancers. The most common cancers are lung cancer and skin cancer. There are about 42.2 new cases of lung cancer reported in the UK per 1000 people each year and 5 new cases of skin cancer reported per 1000 people in the UK each year - and many cases go unreported. It is difficult to treat cancer because there are many different cancers. There are some common characteristics between them though; one being the presence of unregulated cell growth leading to the development of tumours. Not all tumours are cancerous - the greatest numbers are benign. Benign tumours are characterised by entirely localised growth and are usually separated from surrounding tissue by a surrounding capsule. Benign tumours generally grow slowly and closely resemble the structure of the tissue they originate from. At worst benign tumours
Care for Babies
By Naomi Lloyd In this chapter I will be describing the care routines for babies between 0-1 year, specifically I will be looking at birth, one month, three months, six months and one year. I will also be focusing on the physical care of the baby, the development of relationships between the baby and the parents and also stimulating learning. Birth When your baby is born the midwife will carry out some health checks to make sure they are perfectly healthy. The most commonly known test is the Apgar score; this is a method of evaluating the health of a newborn baby by checking five vital signs (Meggitt. C 1999). The Apgar score is assessed at one and five minuets after birth. Source www.sweethaven02.com/ObsNewborn/922les8_img_3.jpg If the baby scores between 0-2 they have sever asphyxia, which is impaired or impeded breathing (Webster's New World Medical Dictionary) and they need resuscitation, 3-4 means the baby has moderate asphyxia and needs treatment such as an oxygen mask to help them breathe, between 5-7 the baby has mild asphyxia and may require treatment, between 8-9 the baby is in good condition and 10 means they are in the best possible condition. Most babies score nine, losing one point for having blue extremities (hands and feet). Shortly after this the midwife will weigh your baby measure their head circumference, this is considered very important as the
Working In Health and Social Care
Working In Health and Social Care A - Introduction For this assignment I have been asked to research two contrasting job roles. The two roles I have chosen to research are an Accident and Emergency Children's Nurse and an Occupational Therapist. I chose to research these as I would like to work in A+E nursing once I'm qualified and I thought it would be good to get a valuable insight to how this type of ward operates. With the Occupational Therapist I was interested to research this to find out more about it as it's not an everyday job you hear about on the news, whereas nursing is. A+E Children's Nurse This branch does not just involve nursing what people might think are "miniature adults". Children have needs different from most adults and as they are children, they have different ways of letting someone know what is wrong with them. Sector A+E nurses usually work within the statutory sector and may sometimes work in the private sector, but the majority work in the public sector. They are employed by the NHS who are funded by the taxpayer and managed by the Government. The NHS is the responsibility of the Department of Health which provides health services for the public through the NHS. http://www.nhs.uk/England/AboutTheNhs/History/Default.cmsx Role of an A+E Children's Nurse To be successful in this role it is important to have various skills that will enable a
Examine Communication in Care Settings
Transfer-Encoding: chunked Communication in Care Setting Communication is imparting or exchanging of information through speaking, writing, eye contact and body language. Communicating effectively is important to care, practitioner because they use different forms of communication during their working days. These include the verbal communication skills of talking and listening, and various forms of non-verbal communication, such as touch, eye contact and facial expression. A care practitioner needs to utilise both of these forms of communication when they, give or receive information about the care that is being provided for an individual. The individual can be; a patient in the hospital, families from a deprived background, children between the age of 0-8, elderly, and someone seeking emotional or social support. They would need to carry out a complete evaluation of a singular's care needs. Verbal communication happens when one individual talks and someone else listens. Care practitioners require a range of verbal communication skills to respond to questions in order to find out about an individual’s problems, break bad news and provide support to others dealing with problems and complaints. http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/communication (accessed on 02/10/2015) http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/communication.html (accessed on 02/10/2015)
PRACTICE AND PROVISION
Effects of National Policy and Legislation on Care Practice and Provision Every child matters In this section I am going to be talking about one national legislation on a care practice and provision. The government are working together to improve the lives of children, young people and their families. They are trying to make a change in the quality of accessibility and coherence of services so that every child and young person is able to fulfil their full potential and those facing particular obstacles are supported to overcome them. http://publications.everychildmatters.gov.uk/eOrderingDownload/DfES10812004.pdf The Children Act 2004 provides the legislative foundation for whole-system reform to support this long-term and ambitious programme. It outlines new legislative responsibilities and explains the accountabilities for children's services. Green paper There have been numerous green papers which were part of the conciliation period. In 2003, the government published a Green Paper which was called Every Child Matters. This published alongside the death of Victoria Climbié; this was a young girl who was horrifically abused and tortured, and was eventually killed by her great aunt and the man they lived with. Due to this, it brought recognition of the need to bring more consistency to the inspection of services for children. The Green Paper was built on existing
Task 2 group communication theories and an example from my experience.
Task 2 Scenario: I am a carer in a children’s home for children with learning disabilities, talking to a 14 year old child who has been living there for 2 months now about how they are finding it. The child I am speaking to has a minor speech disorder, and has low self-esteem when talking to people because of this. She is fairly submissive because I am an authority figure in the children’s home, therefore she may be apprehensive to tell me how she really feels. She is also a Muslim. The conversation will take place in the activities room while the other children are getting ready for their evening activities upstairs in their bedrooms. Gerald Egan’s SOLER theory Gerald Egan defines his SOLER theory as a part of his ‘skilled helper’ approach to counselling. It is a non-verbal listening process used in communication, and a key skill taught to counsellors as part of their training. S: Sitting squarely to the person, preferably at a 5 O’clock position to avoid the possibility of staring. Sitting squarely to someone makes them feel like you are there with them and available to them. This is important as turning your body away from the person may lessen your degree of contact; however, it may be helpful to sit at a more angled position if sitting squarely to the person makes them feel threatened for any reason. O: Maintain an open position at all times. Crossing
a01 an investigation into mental health
A01 An Investigation into the types and causes of Mental Health I will be investigating into 3 different types of mental health illnesses and their causes. An overview of the types and causes of Mental Health Illnesses The awareness of mental health issues have raised over the years, previously majority of people did not understand all mental health issues. Mental health issues can be minor as well as serious either way each mental health problem will affect an individual negatively. Some of the disorders include; Alzheimer's, depressive illnesses, generalised anxiety disorders, Schizophrenia, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders and also phobias. There can be many causes for the mental health problem some causes are unknown or not clear. There are different influences for each individual, which can trigger a mental health problem. Physical influences such as giving birth can impact and trigger postnatal depression. The societal influences depend on the society the individual is part of this could mean drug-related disorders, unemployment or social deprivation to be a possible causation of a particular mental health problem. Genetic influences are when a genetic disorder has been passed down from parent to child; they tend to cause mental health problems with personality/perception disorders. Environmental influences such as stress from looking after a child

How does dystonia work in the brain?
Dystonia Primary dystonia is believed to be due to abnormal functioning of the basal ganglia which are deep brain structures involved with the control of movement. The basal ganglia assists in initiating and regulating movement. What goes wrong in the basal ganglia is still unknown. An imbalance of dopamine, a neurotransmitter in the basal ganglia, may underlie several different forms of dystonia, but much more research needs to be done for a better understanding of the brain mechanisms involved with dystonia. Secondary forms of dystonia arise from and can be attributed to numerous causes, such as birth injury, trauma, toxins, or stroke. Secondary dystonia can be symptomatic and can also occur in association with other disorders such as Wilson's disease. When dystonia is secondary to certain injuries or small strokes, we often find lesions (areas of damage) in the putamen, one nucleus in the basal ganglia, as well as in certain nearby structures. Even though we can see no microscopic abnormalities of the brain in the great majority of cases of dystonia, including those with generalized dystonia, the evidence is so clear in the secondary dystonias that we believe the same part of the brain is involved in all types. How does dystonia work in the brain? Dystonia is a disorder that has to do with the way we move. The control of our movements is very complicated and involves
