Throughout the following essay the in-depth evaluation of the patient Janet Jackson will occur. This evaluation will include the presenting conditions pathophysiology and aetiology. Whilst looking at the deterioration post operatively, again assessing the pathophysiology and nursing management that will be undertaken regarding the new patient condition. It will then be suggested that an interdisciplinary approach be taken to the patients care and justification of this method and referral to other healthcare professional will be reviewed.
The case study given outlines the patient, Janet Jackson a 40 year old single mother of 3 with the condition and diagnosis of Uterine Fibroids (Leiomyomas). A Vaginal hysterectomy was the surgical intervention, post-operative deterioration has occurred seen through abnormal vital signs.
The presenting condition of the patient as said above was Uterine Fibroids. Also known as leiomyomas, these tumours are the most common benign tumour found within the female reproductive system. (Jacques Donnez, 2016) These tumours develop in the corpus of the smooth muscle within the uterus. These growths can be identified as intermural, sub serosal and submucosal, these classifications are used to identify which area of the uterus the tumour is forming. (Porth, 2011 )The intramural fibroid is embedded into the myometrium and is the most common form of uterine fibroids in women who present to healthcare department. The presentation of this is the

Security at the hospice has orders to keep everyone out, except for a few key members. The only ones exempt from the ban is Bobby Brown, Pat Houston, Cissy Houston, and anyone else involved with Bobbi

I was Ciara’s field instructor as she pursued her MSW. As such, I have had extensive opportunity to assess Ciara’s research abilities, and believe that she is deserving of this exciting opportunity.

“On June 13, 1994, Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman were found dead outside of Nicole Brown Simpson’s condo in Brentwood, California at approximately midnight” (Case). “A few days later on June 17, 1994, as police go to arrest OJ Simpson as a suspect in the murders, Simpson and a friend attempted to flee in Simpson’s white Bronco but Simpson was eventually apprehended at his house after the chase concluded” (Linder). “On July 22, 1994, Simpson pleaded not guilty to charges of two counts of first degree murder” (Linder). The trial lasted from “January 29th, 1995 to October 3rd, 1995” when Simpson was ultimately found not guilty for the murders because there was not sufficient enough evidence to convict Simpson
Fibroids are becoming more and more common in women in the United States. It is estimated that 171 million women in the U.S. were affected by this condition in 2013(6). About 20% to 80% of women develop fibroids by age 50 (6). As many as three out of four women may have uterine fibroids in her lifetime (4). Fibroids, also known as uterine leiomyoma, are benign tumors that can be found in women of childbearing age due to its dependence on estrogen and progesterone (7). They are made of muscle cells and other tissues that can grow around or in the uterus or womb. With fibroids, a single cell divides repeatedly, eventually creating a firm, rubbery mass distinct from nearby tissue (2). Some fibroids even go through growth spurts where they grow and shrink on their by itself. There are women with fibroids who have no symptoms at all. If they do, it may consist of heavy or painful periods, frequent
Although Fibrocystic Disease is common, women don’t know about it until they actually get it. The physicians are not calling this a disease, but rather a condition now.
Stromal tumors of the ovary include thecoma and fibroma, yet as differentiation between these two types may be difficult, the term fibrothecoma has emerged. The exact incidence of fibrothecoma is unknown, although they have been described as rare ovarian neoplasms1. Here we present an unusual clinical manifestation of ovarian fibrothecoma with abdominal distension in a young female. Grossly, the resected left ovarian mass measured 16x16x10 cm and right ovarian mass measured 3.5x2x0.4 cm. Cut surface of both was firm, grayish white fascicular pattern with few yellow areas (Fig.1). No normal ovarian tissue was identified. Fibrothecomas are round, oval or lobulated solid tumors that cast stripy shadows and are associated with fluid in the pouch of Douglas, and most manifest minimal to moderate vascularization. A fibrothecoma with atypical ultrasound appearance may be
Uterine fibroids affect 3 out of 4 women (Mayo Clinic, 2014). They are non-cancerous but they can cause pain and discomfort. This paper will discuss who can be effected by Uterine fibroids and its effects on the female reproductive system. This paper will show the three types of fibroids that develop in or near the uterus. It will discuss the symptoms and when a diagnosis is needed. This paper will also look into the various forms of treatment including medications and surgery.
Uterine fibroids are the most common noncancerous growths of the uterus also known as leiomyomas or myomas. They are not usually associated with an increased risk of uterine cancer and almost never develop into cancer but are considered as a common cause of hysterectomy.
Personal Information This is a case study involving a young lady named Janet. I will be counseling Janet on the issues that are plaguing her life.

This case study focuses on Demi Lovato’s eating disorder. Here we study the presenting problem to her disorder, the history, the diagnosis per DSM-5 and the interventions of the problem.
Endometriosis affects 10% of reproductive-age women (Yale School of Medicine). It affects nearly 176 million women, ranging from 15-49, all over the world (World Endometriosis, 2011). “Endometriosis is an often painful disorder in which tissue that normally lines the inside of your uterus — the endometrium — grows outside your uterus (endometrial implant) (Mayo Clinic, 2013)” It most commonly involves your ovaries and the lining of the pelvis, but in extreme cases can spread to other parts of the body. The displaced tissue continues to act like it normally would in the uterus, thickening and breaking down with each menstrual cycle. Since the displaced tissue has nowhere to go, it becomes trapped with no way to get out (Mayo Clinic, 2013).
