  • Nursing in a Critical Care Hyperbaric Unit at Merida, Yucatan, Mexico: Report of a Case of an Acute Pediatric Burn Patient
    Case Report Page 1 of 6 Nursing in a critical care hyperbaric unit at Merida, Yucatan, Mexico: report of a case of an acute pediatric burn patient Judith Ruiz-Aguilar, Rodrigo Diaz-Ibañez, E. Cuauhtemoc Sanchez-Rodriguez Hyperbaric Medicine Service, Hospital Centro de Especialidades Médicas del Sureste (CEM) and Hospital Agustín O’Horan, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico Correspondence to: Judith Ruiz-Aguilar, RN, MEd. Chief of Nursing, Hyperbaric Medicine Service, Hospital Centro de Especialidades Médicas del Sureste (CEM) and Hospital Agustín O’Horan, Merida, Yucatan, Mexico. Email: [email protected]. Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for intensive care unit (ICU) patients places special technical and knowledge-based skills demands on nurses inside hyperbaric chambers. Probably the best clinical contributions of HBOT are in the acute cases, in the ischemia reperfusion injury. Nevertheless in the last years, hyperbaric units have focused more in chronic wounds. The first golden rule to treat an ICU patient in a hyperbaric chamber is that you can maintain the same quality of care inside the chamber as in the ICU. This means that the hyperbaric unit has to have the technology means as well as the proficiency and competency of its personnel to provide intensive care inside the chamber. These require competent nursing personnel. We present a case of a 5-year-old pediatric patient who suffered a deep second-degree thermal burn that compromised 32% of the total body surface; including the face, neck, thorax and both arms. The patient received medical support, HBOT and daily wound care. He received a total of 14 treatments and underwent complete healing of the burned areas.

These individu- als are exposed to high levels of G-forces, resulting in medical considerations which are not a normal factor with high performance fighter pilots or astro- nauts. The acceleration profiles of the Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin spacecraft were obtained from publicly available data. Video analysis was performed on footage of spacecraft test launches and human centrifuge tests to obtain individual data sets. These data sets were used to develop the acceleration profiles for both spacecraft. Based on the spacecraft's acceleration profiles and peak G-forces, medical conditions were investigated and considered to identify potential risks that may affect the passengers, particularly the elderly.

Project planning has been very successful, and we will soon be breaking ground! The project is scheduled to begin in October and be completed in October 2021. The project will begin with an addition between the end of E Wing and D Wing. Next, a new therapy addition and private rooms (suites) on A Wing will be completed. Then, renovations will occur throughout D Wing and E Wing. As noted in my previous article, there are numerous project priorities for what we want to accomplish in the Care Center.

  • What Would Happen to Our Globes on the Globe of Mars?
    FEATURE Globes in space: What would happen to our globes on the globe of Mars? BY KATHERINE MCVEIGH AND TOMAS BURKE Many films have been made regarding life on alternative planets. With the Mars One mission approaching in 2023, there are high expectations regarding future interplanetary travel. The authors provide an ophthalmology perspective on what could happen to our eyes if exposed to the atmosphere of Mars. n 1990, Arnold Schwarzenegger starred in Total Recall [1], a film where he finds himself on Mars. Damage to his Ispacesuit and subsequent exposure to the environment on Mars results in excessive bodily swelling, along with extensive proptosis whereby the globes extend anteriorly beyond the eyelids as his optic nerves are undoubtedly stretched to their maximal capacity. From an ophthalmological perspective, the interpretation of the impact of atmospheric exposure is intriguing. With the anticipated Mars One mission launch in 2023 aiming to establish a habitable settlement in a hostile environment, we ask if what happened is an accurate depiction of what could be expected to happen to us and our ophthalmic globes on that other globe? The atmosphere on Mars has an O2 level of 0.13% and CO2 level of 95%, and is very Armstrong limit, meaning that exposure to thin, approximately 1% of that on Earth at Tense oedematous soft tissue swelling of sea level [2].

  • Human Adaptation to Space
    Human Adaptation to Space From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Human physiological adaptation to the conditions of space is a challenge faced in the development of human spaceflight. The fundamental engineering problems of escaping Earth's gravity well and developing systems for in space propulsion have been examined for well over a century, and millions of man-hours of research have been spent on them. In recent years there has been an increase in research into the issue of how humans can actually stay in space and will actually survive and work in space for long periods of time. This question requires input from the whole gamut of physical and biological sciences and has now become the greatest challenge, other than funding, to human space exploration. A fundamental step in overcoming this challenge is trying to understand the effects and the impact long space travel has on the human body. Contents [hide] 1 Importance 2 Public perception 3 Effects on humans o 3.1 Unprotected effects 4 Protected effects o 4.1 Gravity receptors o 4.2 Fluids o 4.3 Weight bearing structures o 4.4 Effects of radiation o 4.5 Sense of taste o 4.6 Other physical effects 5 Psychological effects 6 Future prospects 7 See also 8 References 9 Sources Importance Space colonization efforts must take into account the effects of space on the body The sum of mankind's experience has resulted in the accumulation of 58 solar years in space and a much better understanding of how the human body adapts. However, in the future, industrialization of space and exploration of inner and outer planets will require humans to endure longer and longer periods in space.

Then humanity took a 37-year break from landing on the moon before China achieved its first lunar touchdown in 2013.

Maria means "seas" in Latin. The maria are basaltic lava plains: i.e., the frozen seas of lava from lava flows. The maria cover ∼ 16% (30%) of the lunar surface (near side). Light areas are Lunar Highlands exhibiting more impact craters than Maria. The far side is pocked by ancient craters, mountains and rugged terrain, largely devoid of the smooth maria we see on the near side.

    National Aeronautics and Space Administration STEM ACTIVITY: Where in the Air Classroom Activity Educator Guide www.nasa.gov 2 | WHERE IN THE AIR CLASSROOM ACTIVITY EDUCATOR GUIDE OVERVIEW In this lesson, students learn about the layers of the atmosphere as well as what things can be found in each layer. Objectives Students will be able to: • Identify the layers of the atmosphere, including their location relative to the other layers • Determine in which layer of the atmosphere different objects can be found Standards Materials Worksheet – one per student Next Generation Science Standards • Disciplinary Core Ideas Informational sheets – one per group or student • MS-ESS2 Earth’s systems • Crosscutting Concepts • Systems and system models Science and Engineering Practices • Developing and using models Preparation Other Resources • Print out a worksheet for each student and “Earth’s Atmospheric Layers” diagram, available at: enough informational sheets so each student https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/sunearth/science/ will get a copy of the sheet describing their atmosphere-layers2.html group’s object. • The object descriptions in the informational sheets vary in complexity, allowing reading variation for students. WHERE IN THE AIR CLASSROOM ACTIVITY EDUCATOR GUIDE | 3 Steps 1. Use a warm-up or other method to teach (or review) the layers of the atmosphere. A search of the internet will provide you with many possible activities or videos that can be used to engage students. This information can be presented in conjunction with Earth’s other spheres (cryosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, etc.). 2. Divide the students into groups of two or three. Or, depending on class size and composition, students can work as individuals instead of in small groups.
