Abstract

Chronic and aggressive diseases are commonly incurable. Palliative and nursery care are newly practiced that aims to disease managements outside normal therapy. Better medical service and symptom alleviations of incurable congenital diseases can satisfy patients with reduce therapeutic costs and a long period of times. In this article, relevant medical disciplines and drug developments are provided—from technique detail to medical knowledge as well as clinical applications in a broader-range.

Keywords: healthcare, nursing, service promotion, herbal medicine, palliative treatment, psycho-analysis

Introduction

Chronic and aggressive diseases are commonly incurable. Palliative and nursery care are widest practiced that aims to disease managements outside normal therapy. Better medical service of these incurable diseases can satisfy patients with a reduce therapeutic cost. In this article, relevant medical disciplines and drug developments are provided—from technique detail to medical knowledge as well as clinical applications in a broader-range. Palliative care and nursing advances help patient’s recovery and disease controls in the clinic. The medical significance of the quality improvements of medical healthcare and nursing activity is notable.

Methods

Major disease for palliative Treatments,1:

  1. Congenital diseases
  2. Cancer-related diseases
  3. Neuromuscular diseases
  4. Respiratory diseases
  5. Gastrointestinal diseases
  6. And others

Results

The incurable diseases suitable for palliative therapies are characterized with deadly symptoms, such as neoplasm metastasis, cystic fibrosis and others. The diseases are aggressively progressed in patients because there is no therapeutics against disease pathogen (neoplasm metastasis or increasing mucosa secretes in human bronchus channels). Correspondingly, proper managements against deadly symptoms are welcomed by patients. Palliative therapeutics usually alleviates patient’s pain, psychiatric states and overall conditions.

  1. Nutritional fortification
  2. Herbal medicine
  3. High quality of nursing
  4. Symptom alleviation (pain or lean)
  5. Psychiatric control
  6. Assistant therapy
  7. Therapeutic or drug combination
  8. Disease maintaining.2–13

Discussion

One of these palliative strategies is herbal medicine. Herbal medicine seldom targets disease pathogens while regulate the human function of immunity, neuropsychiatry and endocrinology,14–17 This therapeutic modality may be very useful as palliative therapy. Drug combination is the commonly way of refractory diseases treatments.18–21 They can act both pathogens and symptoms. This way of therapeutic option can be improved greatly in the future. Palliative medicine is very useful in the clinical trials. They are commonly less harmful for patients. But most of palliative treatments need to long-term utility because the disease origins and pathogens are not removed by these treatments. They are commonly not expensive. They assist to main-stream therapy. In summary, doctors and nurses should be familiar with all these knowledge of medical disciplines and execute their service in high quality and satisfy more patients.

Conclusion

Palliative treatment plays key roles for deadly patients. After all, doctors and nursery training should be more emphasized for this medical discipline. Commonly, a great difference can be made by therapeutic promotion and creativity. There is a long way to move forwards and fill the gap between therapeutic convention and palliative treatments.
