Nurses Guide Microbes, towards second edition

“There must be something in any host
why the which makes the clinical picture so diverse”,
Marc Bonten, medical microbiologists, Medical University Utrecht, Netherlands.   

Only overtime we will truly learn what happened and is happening in the #COVID19 pandemic, these are very exciting time and can’t oversee the puzzle yet, the virus is still new and hard to predict what directions it will go and what direction to take to respond right. So many question ! 

But on the other hand, we can't wait to professionally anticipate pandemics again. In April 2019, the ESNO published a nursing textbook on microbes, vaccination #AMR and infection control, just during the time when the pandemic was spreading. Now, six months later, it is time for a second version, but even now, in the period that knowledge is still being acquired, publications appear and vaccinations are under development. In this 2nd version, a group of 15 European nursing experts is busy adapting the textbook and wondering whether we should not tell more about the natural immune system of man and where the immune system can get a boost. But also about #AMR nurse with examples of how they contribute to reducing overuse of antibiotics and infection control. The protective measures, how can we prevent transmission by better delineating areas and using the correct disinfection materials, when should you focus heavily on disinfectant and when is soap sufficient. Ultimately, it is appropriate for the nurse to receive regular training and to be a guide to each other and especially to the patients.

  • About our immune system and if it’s trained enough to act as they should?
  • Have we explained enough about the B-Cells, the memory cells?
  • About the responding T-Cells and if the T-Cells have the right interpretation?
  • Why males have more often a chain response and over reacting tsunami on cytokines causing more damages as do more harm than good?
  • Why the vaccine against TBC, by inoculation of the ‘Bacillus Calmette-Guerin’(BCG) triggers the immune system for other viruses?
  • What happened with the lymph’s of a number of patient who died and had no mature B-cells at all , with the question if people need more gradually contamination before the response is effective?

Nurses in Oncology on Vaccination, AMR and Infection Controle

“Why nurses are paramount in the context of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and vaccination for cancer patients” Patrick Crombez, Vice President Antimicrobial resistance will soon threaten the routine treatment of common infections across the world and have an ever-greater impact on morbidity and mortality in vulnerable patients like cancer patients. These patients often are neutropenic and immunocompromising effects of the underlying disease as well as of antineoplastic therapies, especially with the emerging new treatment options as immunotherapy, must be considered by cancer nurses as high risk factors for developing resistant infectious complications.  Vaccination is one of the strategies needed to counter this threat and can be an effective preventive strategy against many infections, but type and timing of vaccinations must be carefully chosen to allow for optimal immunization in immunocompromised patients. Certain therapeutic interventions result in profound immunol...

Facebook and Nurses Code of Ethics

Image
Information on health and all related to personal health and vulnerability is high sensitive, on sickness, therapy, profession and so on this is a fundament everyone understands. And for that reason -to emphasis on that- Nurses have signed by their graduation a code of coduct and ethics before getting their diploma and certificates. All Nurses codes on ethics in the world are inspired and/or partly copied from the ICN Code of Ethics. The ICN Code of Ethics for Nurses, most r ecently revised in 2012, is a guide for action based on social values and needs. The ICN Code of Ethics guides nurses in everyday choices and it supports their refusal to participate in activities that conflict with caring and healing. At the very start it mentions "The nurse holds in confidence personal information and uses judgement in sharing this information" Based on the latest revelations on Facebook, that not only information is gathered but also analysed and sold to external partners even to...

ESNO representing this 'One Nurse'

Image
"How many nurses does ESNO represent", this a far too often question addressed in the European bubble, in the parliament, European Institutes, NGO's and industry, but to nurses in this European enenvironment like   ' ....asking a fish to prove the wetness of water... '. It is such an obvious question but somehow difficult to answer, but we do our best. The basics on a response shows how difficult it is to speak in exact numbers ESNO represents,  like it is for more of ESNO members. One of the members have about 40.000 or even double, and others have also in the same number but we cannot count them. Too often we receive the question '....how many nurses do you represent.... ' but this is a quotative question. Repeatedly we have to explain that roughly there are about 3.000.000 nurses in Europe, and all are in somehow a specialist area, in specialist areas and some in advanced levels, and the last group we have ESNO as lead. Nurses have also a kind of fi...
