The Use of Antibiotics Among Residents of Sitio UFEBA, Barangay Bulacao Cebu, City. Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices
Bachelor Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject Nursing Science - Miscellaneous, course: NURSING, language: English, abstract: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to public health as it undermines the ability to treat infectious diseases effectively and escalates healthcare expenses. This study examined the knowledge, attitudes, and practices towards the use of antibiotics of the residents of Sitio UFEBA Barangay Bulacao Cebu, City. By utilizing a descriptive correlational research design, this study involved 140 voluntary respondents who actively participated in data gathering by administering a standardized questionnaire. Antimicrobial agents are medications that either kill or retard the growth of pathogenic organisms. Antimicrobials have been recognized as the most effective drugs for fighting infections and curing diseases. Its advancement has significantly contributed to and played a significant role in health care by increasing life expectancy. It is beneficial in various ways, including performing multiple surgical procedures and treating various infectious diseases and complications, and it is also used as a preventative medicine for illnesses. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant public health issue that jeopardizes the ability to treat infectious diseases, driving up healthcare costs. Every year, at least 70,000 people die from drug resistance to diseases such as bacterial infections, malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis. According to Yusef et al. (2018), antimicrobial resistance is a global health issue linked to increased morbidity and mortality rates because limited agents are ineffective in treating various diseases. Antimicrobial resistance is very concerning because it limits the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents. It would also necessitate a significant increase in research and antimicrobial supplies. As a result, there would be a burden of unnecessary costs in the field of healthcare.

Explaining Disease: Philosophical Reflections on Medical Research and Clinical Practice
This interdisciplinary monograph in philosophy of medicine examines models of explanation in health science and their relation with current medical trends, such as personalized and person-centered medicine. Medicine has provided challenging case studies for the general philosophy of science that have prompted rethinking of a wide range of philosophical notions - such as scientific law, theory and evidence - and contributed to the elaboration of pluralistic approaches to modeling, causality and explanation. The health sciences have increasingly recognized the role of philosophy of medicine as both a field of conceptual and methodological reflection, capable of addressing practical issues, and hence relevant for a proper understanding of the construction of medical knowledge, modeling practices, therapeutic strategies and preventive decisions.'Explaining Disease' contains various case studies in medicine to describe the assumptions underpinning the construction of explanatory models of diseases. It shows the impact different explanatory strategies can have on practical matters, which in turn affect clinical evaluation and therapy and public health decisions. The book concludes with a few open-ended reflections to foster more thorough consideration of the role of philosophy of medicine can play its dialogue with the health sciences.

Truly Human Enhancement
A nuanced discussion of human enhancement that argues for enhancement that does not significantly exceed what is currently possible for human beings. The transformative potential of genetic and cybernetic technologies to enhance human capabilities is most often either rejected on moral and prudential grounds or hailed as the future salvation of humanity. In this book, Nicholas Agar offers a more nuanced view, making a case for moderate human enhancement--improvements to attributes and abilities that do not significantly exceed what is currently possible for human beings. He argues against radical human enhancement, or improvements that greatly exceed current human capabilities. Agar explores notions of transformative change and motives for human enhancement; distinguishes between the instrumental and intrinsic value of enhancements; argues that too much enhancement undermines human identity; considers the possibility of cognitively enhanced scientists; and argues against radical life extension. Making the case for moderate enhancement, Agar argues that many objections to enhancement are better understood as directed at the degree of enhancement rather than enhancement itself. Moderate human enhancement meets the requirement of truly human enhancement. By radically enhancing human cognitive capabilities, by contrast, we may inadvertently create beings ("post-persons") with moral status higher than that of persons. If we create beings more entitled to benefits and protections against harms than persons, Agar writes, this will be bad news for the unenhanced. Moderate human enhancement offers a more appealing vision of the future and of our relationship to technology.
