    Role of Primary Care in Suicide Prevention During the COVID-19 Pandemic Authors are: Pamela Anne Nelson and Susie M. Adams Abstract Primary care providers have an important role in suicide prevention, knowing that among people who die by suicide, 83% have visited a primary care provider in the prior year, and 50% have visited that provider within 30 days of their death, rather than a psychiatrist. The psychosocial impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic poses increased risk for suicide and other mental health disorders for months and years ahead. This article focuses on screening tools, identification of the potentially suicidal patient in the primary care setting, and a specific focus on suicide prevention during widespread, devastating events, such as a pandemic.

    What Is Lymphatic Drainage Massage and Why You Need to Try It Article By: Robin Jillson "Lymphatic drainage is a therapeutic massage treatment. The massage uses very light pressure and long, gentle, rhythmic strokes to increase the flow of lymph and reduce toxins in your body. The lymph system is part of your body's immune system and helps fight infection. Lymph itself is a clear, slightly yellow fluid. It transports nutrients and oxygen to cells, collecting toxins on the way and flushing them out through the lymph nodes. You have around twice as many lymph vessels as blood vessels in your body. However, unlike blood, which is pumped around by your heart, the lymph system has no pump. The pressure from your blood vessels and movement from your muscles push the lymphatic fluid around"(The Good Spa Guide, 2013).   Gumbo Educational Services believes in: Sharing knowledge and educating those in the community for a healthier stronger safer community.

    The Color of Nursing - Paperback Erin started her path in Nursing after initially FAILING nursing classes due to lack of focus and lack of discipline. Married at 21 years of age, and a new child on the way, she was compelled to get out of her own way and grow up! While on a waiting list to enroll in a different undergraduate nursing program, she decided to enroll in a Licensed Practical Nurse Program and worked as a nursing assistant until graduation. She worked 8 years as a LPN thinking that going back to school yet again was out of her reach. With a defaulted student loan and barely enough money for gas to travel to take the entrance exam, she received the call within 48 hours with notification of passing the exam and was accepted into Alcorn State University. Now with a 3 hour daily commute, no way to pay for school and a less than supportive work supervisor, she realized that the negative talk from others and herself was only background noise and used that negativity as fuel to press forward.

    Pathway-Driven Management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease The article is worth 1 contact hour of continuing education all of which is towards pharmacology. by: Deborah L. Dillon, DNP, ACNP-BC and Jessica E. Crimaldi, MSN, CNP Published:June 24, 2020 DOI:https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2020.04.020 UC is a gastrointestinal (GI) disease that is localized to the large intestine, or colon, where inflammation can affect either the entire organ or a portion of it. Approximately 1.86 billion patients have been diagnosed with UC globally, with 1.54 billion patients currently receiving treatment. Traditional therapies have yielded $4.18 billion in annual sales around the world, a figure expected to increase to $6.85 billion by 2022 with the approval of various pipeline drugs (Gohil and Carramusa, 2014). CD can affect any part of the GI tract, but most commonly involves both the large and small intestines. Although CD is more severe than UC, the global prevalence is much lower, with only 1.3 million patients diagnosed and 0.8 million who currently receive treatment. Still, traditional therapies have resulted in an impressive $3.17 billion in global market sales, which is predicted to increase to $4.20 billion by 2022 (Gohil and Carramusa, 2014). Traditional therapies are highly effective in these hard-to-treat diseases. Tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors are firmly established as treatments but sometimes present problems, such as immunogenicity or an eventual loss of response (Gohil and Carramusa, 2014).

    After Gestational Diabetes: An Overlooked Care Transition in Primary Care Abstract "Women with history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have significant risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D), especially within 6 years of giving birth. Children exposed to GDM-complicated pregnancies may also experience future metabolic abnormalities. Care transitions following GDM-complicated pregnancies are often fragmented resulting in missed opportunities to implement T2D prevention strategies. Primary care providers of women with history of GDM and their children have opportunities to deliver transgenerational health promotion interventions encompassing: T2D screening, reproductive life planning, lifestyle changes to support reduction of GDM-related metabolic risks, self-advocacy for lifelong T2D screening, weight management, and promotion of breastfeeding" (LaManna and Quelly, 2020).

    ACADEMIC MOBBING: HIDDEN HEALTH HAZARD AT WORKPLACE SB Khoo FRACGP, Penang Medical College. Academic mobbing is a non-violent, sophisticated, ‘ganging up’ behavior adopted by academicians to “wear and tear” a colleague down emotionally through unjustified accusation, humiliation, general harassment and emotional abuse. These are directed at the target under a veil of lies and justifications so that they are “hidden” to others and difficult to prove. Bullies use mobbing activities to hide their own weaknesses, incompetence or to silence the target because the bully said something to the target that was inappropriate. Targets selected are often intelligent, innovative high achievers, with good integrity and principles. Mobbing activities appear trivial and innocuous on its own but the frequency and pattern of their occurrence over long period of time indicates an aggressive manipulation to “eliminate” the target.

Lewis, BSN, Ann M. Mitchell, RhD, RN. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nurpra.2019.05.012 Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) encompass a myriad of biological, psychological, and physiological variants. In primary care, FASDs are not routinely screened for, while prevalence rates remain high at 5% to 9%. Alcohol screening and brief intervention is an evidence-based practice that identifies those who may be consuming alcohol at risky levels and provides a brief motivation-enhancing intervention. FASDs are completely preventable when women do not consume alcohol during the prenatal period, and nurse practitioners who provide patient-centered primary care to women are ideally positioned to help in the prevention FASDs.
