    Chapter summaries for Better by Atule Gawande

    Mr. Gawande starts his literature on washing hands. He introduces two friends a microbiologist and an infectious disease specialist. Both work hard and diligently against the spread of diseases just like Semmelweis who is mentioned in the chapter. Something I learned, that not many realize, is that each year two million people acquire an infection while they are in the hospital. Mainly because the clinicians only wash their hands one-third to one-half as many times as they should. Semmelweis, mentioned earlier, concluded in 1847 that doctors themselves were to blame for childbed fever, which was the leading cause of maternal death in childbirth. The best solutions are apparently the sanitizing gels that have only recently caught on in the U.S. Then there was an initiative to make the sanitizing easier for all. The engineer Perreiah came up with solutions that gave the staff more time which was revolutionary in itself but the format worked only under his supervision. After he left it all went down the drain, so, Lloyd a surgeon who had helped Perreiah decided to do more research and was excited when he encountered the positive deviance idea, the idea of building on people’s capabilities instead of trying to change them. The idea worked and even got funding for ten more hospitals across the country. At the end of the chapter Dr.Gawande ponders upon the idea of how many he has infected because of his lack of cleansing.…

    Sebastian Deleon Analysis

    Sixteen-year old Sebastian DeLeon is the fourth person in 50 years to recover from a brain-eating amoeba. According to the ABC News article, published on August 23rd, 2016, Naegleria fowleri inhabits fresh water lakes and ponds. The amoeba travels up the nasal passage infecting the brain tissue and causing death in 97% cases. DeLeon was transported to the hospital after suffering from severe headaches and experiencing signs of early meningitis. After conducting spinal fluid tests, doctors were able to identify the amoeba and treat DeLeon with miletfosine, a medication shown to have promising results in eradicating Naegleria fowleri. After several days in an induced coma, DeLeon is now on his way to a full recovery.…

    However, these effects can vary greatly, with some species being affected greatly, and others not at all. For example, UV-B radiation can cause the skin of Gray Tree frogs to darken, and cause them to swim less. For others, like the Pacific Tree frog, this radiation can reduce larval survival and increase abnormalities in behavior and development. Other common effects include increased embryo mortality and behavioral avoidance. Interestingly, different populations of amphibian species can be differently affected by UV-B radiation as well, possibly because certain regions have more UV-B radiation than others (Blaustein). Regardless, the fact that UV-B radiation has been increasing in our atmosphere is alarming.…
