Abstract: High-fidelity simulation (HFS) is an instructive/learning technique progressively utilized by nursing schools, where students experience mimicked clinical encounters creating specialized and non-specialized abilities. The goal of this trial is to understand the perceptions of students of the bachelor’s degree in Nursing with respect to their cooperation in reproduced clinical encounters with HFS. A qualitative investigation of phenomenological approach was undertaken as a design of this study. A convenient sample of 8 undergraduate nursing students involved in the investigation were interviewed. Later, a fundamental structure of the nurses’ perception was developed which reflected the real clinical situations and other scenarios on exposure to HFS. The result of the study founded that the students were able to develop confidence based on segments such as enjoying the HFS settings, association with peers in the simulation, and skill development. The students appear to be happy with their experience of HFS. Negative perception is poisonous in any learning process. It may result from a factor beyond the control of the student such as shortage of equipment and cost. Lack of opportunity will undermine the senses of reality, experience, and chance to put their skills in practice. Moreover, the effects of such negative perception would make students frustrated and unable to learn from their errors. The study recognized a distinctive impression of students after encountering reasonable situations in a controlled domain, its significance to the foundation of relations and common development and its importance for their future as students and future experts.

Abstract: Non-healed wounds are a significant problem in the healthcare system of the distal portions of the limbs. Nine types of honey were tested for wound healing judged by clinical gross healing parameters, rate of wound contraction and sings of epithelization histopathologically. Rounded full thickness skin wounds (1.5cm diameter) were performed at the distal portion of limbs. The wounds were infected by standard dose of MRSA (methicillin resistance Staph. aureus) for 72 hours. The tested types of honey were tested for MIC & MBC against clinical MRSA strain. Different types of honey were applied unprocessed as daily topical wound dressing for the infected wounds. Propolis with black seed honey followed by Hadramout sidr honey, then Egyptian sidr honey proved to have the most antimicrobial activity. Clinical healing appearance revealed that propolis with black seed honey, Egyptian sidr honey and Hadramout sidr honey showed the most preferable clinical parameters (gross appearance and rate of wound contraction), and histopathologically achieved the best healing epithelization 28 days after treatment. The study concluded that among different nine honey types retailed in Egyptian markets, all tested honey types had wound healing activities but with different potencies. Propolis with black seed, Egyptian sidr honey and Hadramout honey were the most potent with highly significance differences (P < 0.01), since achieving the most wound contraction rates, rapid epithelization post 28 days rather than the least MICs & MBCs values. While the marjoram and clover honey were the least effective.

Abstract: In 1916, Guillain, Barré and Strohl reported on two cases of acute flaccid paralysis with high cerebrospinal fluid protein levels and normal cell counts-novel findings that identified the disease we now know as Guillain–Barré syndrome (GBS). 100 years on, we have made great progress with the clinical and pathological characterization of GBS. GBS is an acute/subacute-onset polyradiculoneuropathy typically presenting with sensory symptoms and weakness over several days, often leading to quadriparesis. Approximately 70% of patients report a recent preceding upper or lower respiratory tract infection or gastrointestinal illness. The interplay between the microbial and host factors that dictate whether and how the immune response shifts towards autoreactivity is still unclear, and nothing is known about the genetic and environmental factors that affect an individual's susceptibility to the disease. Facial Diplegia with Paresthesias is a rare localized variant of GBS in which patient presents with simultaneous facial diplegia, distal limb paresthesias and minimal or no motor weakness. Treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin or plasma exchange is the optimal management approach, alongside supportive care. A common misconception is that the Guillain–Barré syndrome has a good prognosis-but up to 20% of patients remain severely disabled and approximately 5% die, despite immunotherapy. We report the case of a woman with acute facial dyplegia and rhabdomyolisis improved after immunoglobulin treatment.
