Present Trends and the Future in Rabies Research The article is titled Present Trends and the Future in Rabies Research and was authored by Campbell, Kaplan, Koprowski, Kuwert, Sokol and Wiktor. Scientists have made notable advances in rabies research since the time of Pasteur by the use of up to date modern virological techniques. The article provides an accurate account of the present state of knowledge of the pathogenesis, cultivation, immunology, tissue culture, cell virus relationships and physiochemical properties of the virus. As of now, it is now possible to study and explore the biology of rabies and information obtained from this work on the problems should provide solutions and the most promising directions to future research. It has reached a point in rabies research where it is critical to developing a balanced scorecard to show what is done and what needs to be covered. Rabies is transmitted usually with the bite of an infected animal. Alternatively, (Campbell) asserts that it can be transmitted through aerosols. However, this mode of spread is present only in a cave. This is why…
Trade Regulations and Legal Considerations Undeniably, the government has a direct influence on businesses mainly through policies and regulations. As such, companies must consider these policies in their decision-making processes. While most laws are enacted to create a conducive business environment, some policies may lower the profitability and growth of a company. Government regulations affecting firms include the minimum wage, maternity leave, sales tax, and subsidies. Firstly, setting the minimum wage is a common way through which governments influence businesses. In Japan, the minimum wage varies depending on the region. The least salary in all areas is ¥790 per hour. Employees are supposed to work for 40 hours every week (“Minimum Wage – Japan”). Indeed, this technique helps avoid the abuse of workers. Secondly, the government influences businesses by setting the duration of paid maternity leave. Before giving birth, one can take a six-week leave, and an eight-week leave after birth (“Maternity Leave And Child-Raising Leave in Japan”). Thirdly, Japan’s sales tax is 10% (“Japan Delivers Long-Delayed Consumption Tax Hike”). Even though nearly all goods and services are affected, the…

Home health nursing Home health nursing offers in-home health care services for patients and families. I agree with the author that there are certain additional services that in-home nurses should perform for the wellbeing of the patient. They must ensure that they visit patients frequently to provide that all the time the patients are at comfort though the author does not highlight in-home nursing face more inconveniences than when working in hospitals. In hospitals, the patients are within short distances, and thus they are accessible easily. In-home, it is challenging mainly when a nurse is serving two clients receiving services in different places. I agree with the author that in-home nurses should coordinate and keep family members informed on the progress and needs of the patient. The family members are the immediate people who take care of the patient when both physicians and nurses are not around. As a result, they need to be informed so that they may not mishandle the patient. In the second paragraph, the author mentioned some of the critical roles played by in-home nurses. He…

Direct to consumer advertising Direct to consumer advertising is not a common practice in most countries in the world. However, in New Zealand and the USA, the practice is legal, and this fact allows the manufacturers or sellers of drugs to advertise to consumers as their patients (Ritter et al., 2017). This practice enables the promotion of the use of certain drugs to consumers by giving balanced information on its risks and advantages. Impact Significantly, various effects are visible in the community as a result of this practice. For instance, there has been a rise in cases of self-prescription among individuals in the community. As a result of the excessive information on the effects and contents of the drugs, the consumers do not seek professional advice (Hudson et al., 2016). Virtually, by advertising to consumers as patients and not professionals, already eliminates the professionals and goes directly to the patient. In essence, the rise in cases of misuse of over the counter drugs, which is widely becoming viewable as drug abuse may be attributed to this practice. Most drug abusers…

The concept of stakeholders in healthcare The concept of stakeholders in healthcare basically refers to entities and individuals that are integrally involved in the running and functioning of healthcare systems and would substantially be impacted by changes that occur in the healthcare systems. The major stakeholders in health care are physicians, employees, patients, insurance firms, pharmaceutical companies, and government. The accounting principle of going concern implies an entity will proceed with its core operations in the future and will not be forced to discontinue its operations or liquidate as a result of any reason. In this regard, a healthcare organization is assumed to exist during its current time period and will continue existing for the foreseeable future. According to this principle, healthcare organizations should not be forced to halt their day-to-day operations nor liquidate their assets for any reason. As a result, healthcare systems continue to value their assets and liabilities in cash as if the liabilities will be paid in cash when the time comes. This principle helps organizations to continue prepaying and accruing expenses. The difference…
