(Reuters Health) – Half of all hearth patients made at least one medication related mistake after leaving the hospital, and guidance from pharmacist didn’t seem to reduce those errors, in a new study.

Consequences of mistake such as forgetting to take certain drugs or taking the wrong dose can range from side effects like constipation to more serious drops in blood pressure. Two percent of errors were life threatening.

Hospitals involved in the study were already taking steps to prevent medication mistakes in addition to extra pharmacist intervention, said Dr. Sunil Kripalani, the studies lead author from the Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee.

“We were surprised to see that in spite of these efforts that 50 percent (of patients) were still having these medication errors,” he told Reuters Health.

Although the pharmacist visit didn’t help the average patient, he added, certain ones seemed to benefit such as patients who were on multiple drugs or had trouble understanding health information.

As for traditionally lower risk patients, he said other strategies to prevent errors may be needed.

During the building of the Great Wall of China, there lived a husband and wife named Wan and Meng Jiangnu. Wan was a scholar. One day, Wan was taken from their home and carried away to help with the building of the Great Wall. Meng, saddened by the loss of her husband, waited for news of him. Much time passed without hearing of his whereabouts.

One night in her sleep he came to her and told her he was freezing to death. She awoke and made the decision to travel to the area where she thought he was working and take him clothes she had made for him. During her journey she almost froze to death in a snow storm. A crow flew down next to her as she slept in the snow, and upon her awakening showed her how to flap her wings so she could join the crows and fly to her destination. Upon her arrival at the Great Wall she learned that her husband had died. She learned that he had been buried with many other workers in a section of the Great Wall. She searched the wall but couldn't locate his body. Anger arose from within her and poured out of her causing lightning to split the sky and rain to pour from the heavens washing away whole sections of the Great Wall. As the bones of the workers swirled about Meng pricked her finger and asked that her blood penetrate the bones of her husband, Wan. She located his bones and wrapped them in the clothes she had brought for him.

The cruel Emperor, Qin Shi Huangdi, was furious with her but taken with her beauty. The Emperor gave her a choice of coming with him or being beheaded. Meng responded by asking for three wishes: to have her husband buried in the style of a prince, to have the kingdom mourn him for 49 days, and give him a public funeral. The Emperor granted her the three wishes. After Wan's funeral she thanked the Emperor and then threw herself into the sea for she could not stand the thoughts of being with the Emperor. The Emperor commanded that her body be drug from the sea, cut into pieces, and her bones ground into dust. As they threw her dust into the sea thousands of little silvery fish filled the waters. So today if you visit the Great Wall next to the Eastern Sea you and others in China will remember the story of Meng and Wan.

 

Why did the Emperor command his soldiers to grind Meng’s bones into dust and throw it to

the sea?

A.          Because he felt sorry to Meng

B.          Because he was a cruel Emperor

C.          Because he felt betrayed by Meng

D.          Because he was annoyed with Meng

E.           Because he had fulfilled Meng’s wishes.

Last holiday, my friends and I went camping on the mountain. We went to Guci, Tegal. The spot is near from our town. It is about 2 hours to get there. We choose Guci because it is not too far from settlement.

We prepared everything before going on camping. The boys prepared the tents, the girls prepared the food, and I checked the accommodations. We brought cooking utensils and the food from home, clothes, camera, guitar, etc. We went there by a car and a motorcycle for unwanted condition. We went there in the sunny morning and hoped no rain during camping.

On the first day, we sat up the tent on the spot near waterfall. The girls made the fence of the area but the boys took a bath on the river. Then, we cooked the food for the lunch, had lunch together, tried to fish in the river but we got a sandal.

On the second day, we had some activities. We went on hiking up the mountain, took some pictures in tea garden, and picked strawberry. The last night of our camping was so cold, we made a campfire, sang songs together and told spooky stories which made us fear.

A.          Making fence

Last holiday, my friends and I went camping on the mountain. We went to Guci, Tegal. The spot is near from our town. It is about 2 hours to get there. We choose Guci because it is not too far from settlement.

We prepared everything before going on camping. The boys prepared the tents, the girls prepared the food, and I checked the accommodations. We brought cooking utensils and the food from home, clothes, camera, guitar, etc. We went there by a car and a motorcycle for unwanted condition. We went there in the sunny morning and hoped no rain during camping.

On the first day, we sat up the tent on the spot near waterfall. The girls made the fence of the area but the boys took a bath on the river. Then, we cooked the food for the lunch, had lunch together, tried to fish in the river but we got a sandal.

On the second day, we had some activities. We went on hiking up the mountain, took some pictures in tea garden, and picked strawberry. The last night of our camping was so cold, we made a campfire, sang songs together and told spooky stories which made us fear.

We had camping for about three days. On the last day, we packed everything we brought. We cleaned the area and made sure there was nothing left except our footprint. We didn’t took anything except took photos, we remembered that we must keep the nature, friendly with them and they will be friendly with us. We made a memory by taking photos together in front of a waterfall and then went home happily. We felt very tired.

 

From the text we know that they are ....

A.          nature lovers

B.          friendly campers

C.          tired backpackers

D.          careless travellers

E.           landscape photographers

New airport to cater to more travellers in Yogyakarta

The government expects a new international airport in Yogyakarta, once completed, will improve the satisfaction of travelers flying to and from the region, a popular destination for both domestic and international tourists.

The new airport, which is being built in Kulon Progo regency, is expected to accommodate 50 million passengers annually. It will replace Adisutjipto International Airport, which currently serves a number of travellers far beyond its designated capacity.

“The previous airport’s capacity can no longer contain the passenger traffic and the aircraft movement. There is also a limit to the area expansion [for the airport],” Budi said on Friday during a ceremony to break ground on the new airport, which was also attended by President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo.

Budi mentioned that last year alone, passenger traffic at Adisutjipto reached 7.2 million people, while the airport’s terminals were only built to handle 2.1 million passengers. The apron could also only cater to nine aircraft.

In the first phase, state-owned airport operator Angkasa Pura I will build a 3,250 meter x 60 meter runway in the location. In the second phase, the length of the runway will be extended by 350 meters.

The construction of the first phase is targeted to be finished by March 2019.“The new airport will also serve long-haul flights, with the furthest to Jeddah,” Budi said.

Land procurement for the airport, meanwhile, has reached 91 percent, the ministry reported. (hwa)
