Bats' on a Mission!

Directly from my friends wall I got this nice write up

Writer: Lilian Nnamani 

  

Bats' on a Mission!

This evening, some creatures of the night made me to stop and stare around the Ring Road. The Ring Road in Benin City has always fascinated me but the bats took the show today. They always do, but very few of us notice and worry. Silly me was thinking to myself, "Bird's poo, I understand, but bat's poo, who understands that! Who has seen such?! How can I explain that?!"

That was not really what held me spellbound. They always flew in schools. Tonight, they looked like they were on a mission or competition. Seems like each school had invited their family and friends for the grand occasion. I could hear them communicating with each other. It was so noisy! The nearby markets could not compare.

Today, I noticed something that I had always missed from afar. They lived in those trees inside the Museum grounds and in other trees nearby. This explained why I saw them at odd hours of the day. The Ring Road and the markets must be too busy and noisy, and so they imitated their environment. I took some pictures for proof.

Irrespective of whatever explanation I do come up with, I hurried off to my place of rest. Because I refuse to be so distracted that I become a prey to the petty thieves around. Because I also refuse to be the new dumping ground for bats' poo. And because I refuse to be turned into a fascinating piece of work on public display whilst taking pictures of 'ordinary' bats in flight.

As I wonder what tomorrow holds for me, I am off to bed to dream dreams that will come true (I hope!). No nightmares, please!

Seven Emerging Technologies that Are Changing the Practice of Nursing

Seven Emerging Technologies that Are Changing the Practice of Nursing

Technology	Benefits	Challenges
Genetics and Genomics	The majority of disease risk, health conditions and the therapies used to treat those conditions have a genetic and/or genomic element influenced by environmental, lifestyle, and other factors therefore impacting the entire nursing profession (Calzone et. al, 2010).	Many nurses currently in practice know little about genetics and genomics and lack the competence needed to effectively counsel and teach patients in this regard.
Less Invasive and More Accurate Tools for Diagnostics and Treatment	Non-invasive and minimally invasive tools for diagnostics and treatment generally result in lower patient risk and cost.	The rate at which noninvasive and minimally invasive tools are being introduced makes ongoing competency regarding their use a challenge for nurses.
3-D Printing	Bioprinters, using a "bio-ink" made of living cell mixtures can build a 3D structure of cells, layer by layer, to form human tissue and eventually human organs for replacement (Thompson, 2012).	Healthcare is just beginning to explore the limits of this technology. There are limits to the materials which can be used for printing and materials science is a laggard in 3D printing (Nusca, 2012).
Robotics	Robotics can provide improved diagnostic abilities; a less invasive and more comfortable experience for the patient; and the ability to do smaller and more precise interventions (Newell, n.d). In addition, robots can be used as adjunct care providers for some physical and mental health care provision.	More research is needed on comparative effectiveness of robotics and human care providers. Many healthcare providers have expressed concern about the lack of emotion in robots, suggesting that this is the element that will never replace human caregivers.
Biometrics	Biometrics increase the security of confidential healthcare information and eliminate the costs of managing lost passwords.	The measurement of biometric markers may occur in less than ideal situations in healthcare settings and in a rapidly changing workforce, cost may become an issue.
Electronic Healthcare Records (EHR)	Healthcare providers have access to critical patient information from multiple providers, literally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, allowing for better coordinated care.	Implementation costs, getting computers to talk to each other and debates about who “owns” the data in the EHR continue to challenge its required implementation.
Computerized Physician/Provider Order; Entry (CPOE) and Clinical Decision Support	CPOE and clinical decision support fundamentally change the ordering process resulting in lower costs, reduced medical errors, and more interventions based on evidence and best practices.	The introduction of CPOE and clinical decision support requires providers to alter their practice. Resistance is common due to the time spent on order entry. Implementation and training costs are often significant.
