Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying01:21

Kubler Ross's Stages of Dying

1.6K
Elisabeth Kübler-Ross significantly advanced psychology's understanding of the process of dying with her influential book, On Death and Dying (1969). She focused on studying terminally ill individuals and outlined five stages commonly experienced when coping with death: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
In denial, individuals reject the reality of their condition, often thinking, "This isn't true; I feel fine," as a way to protect themselves from...

Autophagic Cell Death01:18

Autophagic Cell Death

4.8K
Christian de Duve discovered “autophagy,” a process in which cellular components are engulfed by membrane-bound organelles called autophagosomes. The autophagosomes then fuse with lysosomes to digest the enclosed contents. Autophagy is generally activated in cells to prevent cell death. However, cell death is triggered when the damage is beyond repair.
Autophagy and Apoptosis
Autophagy can activate apoptosis. In normal conditions, the autophagy activating protein Beclin-1 and...

Overview of Cell Death

10.7K
Cell death is an essential process where the body gets rid of old or damaged cells. Cell proliferation and death need to be balanced, as an imbalance between the two may lead to cancer or autoimmune diseases.
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the...

Continuing Care01:25

Continuing Care

2.0K
Continuing care describes the variety of health, personal, and social services provided over a prolonged period. The need for continuing care is increasing because people are living longer. Many people do not have families or others to care for them. Continuing care is mainly for patients who are disabled, functionally dependent, or suffering from a terminal disease. It is available within institutional settings or in homes. Examples include nursing centers or facilities, assisted living,...

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Ensuring a good death requires prioritizing patient and surrogate decision-making in end-of-life care. While striving to prevent suffering, exceptions to shared decision-making must be carefully considered to uphold patient values.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioethics
    • Medical Ethics
    • Palliative Care

    Background:

    • Family members report dissatisfaction with end-of-life care, often occurring in hospitals.
    • Current medical practice is evolving towards shared decision-making for patients and surrogates.
    • Previous medical standards historically excluded patient and surrogate input.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate approaches to end-of-life care presented in the Hastings Center Report.
    • To discuss the balance between respecting patient/surrogate decisions and potential conflicts in acute care settings.
    • To advocate for communication and mediation in end-of-life care decisions.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of two articles from the Hastings Center Report concerning end-of-life care.
    • Review of ethical considerations in shared decision-making for palliative sedation and do-not-resuscitate orders.
    • Application of bioethics consultation experience in acute care settings.

    Main Results:

    • The authors express reservations about proposed exceptions to shared decision-making standards.
    • Conflicts in end-of-life decisions are common in acute care settings.
    • Emphasis on communication, mediation, and patient values is crucial for collaboration.

    Conclusions:

    • Respect for patient and surrogate autonomy is a critical, yet vulnerable, aspect of modern medical care.
    • Exceptions to shared decision-making in end-of-life treatments should be rare and carefully justified.
    • Prioritizing communication and aligning decisions with patient values leads to better outcomes in end-of-life care.
