Abstract

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a common term used to refer to disorders affecting the blood vessels or the heart that have led to the majority of deaths worldwide.

Aim: The aim of the present study was to explore nurse's perception of their role and their experiences in relation to engaging with cardiovascular disease prevention in the primary care setting.

Methods: In the selection of clinical nurses who were interested in primary care to participate, qualitative describing design and impracticable sampling were used. The data collection methods include semi-structured and one-on-one interviews. The results were analyzed by the methodology for qualitative content analysis.

Results: In this study, 10 nurses were participated and their role in CVD prevention plays a part in health education, diagnosis and consultation, reassurance, monitoring of vital signs, and collecting blood samples. The challenges include cultural obstacles and vocabulary, negative attitudes, contradictory regulations, a lack of equipment, a shortage of nursing staff and the lack of knowledge and information. Electronic information, patient education, nurse training, and communication workshops are the facilitators for nurses that prevent heart disease.

Conclusion: Cardiovascular disease is lethal, but adequate preventive programs can accommodate it. In addition, nurses play an important role in preventing CVD in primary healthcare and should therefore concentrate efforts on the enhancement of their capacity. The aim of future research should be to understand how patients interpret and incorporate data on the prevention of CVD provided by nurses.

Introduction
The world's leading threat continue to be cardiovascular diseases (CVD) such as coronary heart disease, pulmonary respiratory disease, heart failure, stroke, rheumatic heart disease and hypertension. Approximately all CVDs inevitably lead to heart failure, which is a serious disease with significant morbidity and mortality and a major burden not just for the affected persons but also for community and health care systems. According to the Centers for Control and Prevention, most chronic diseases such as CVDs, stroke, obesity and diabetes are preventable and less costly to treat wheat and are known to account for over 44% of deaths. The pathogenesis of CVD is dominated by atherosclerosis. The risk factors of activities such as obesity, smoking, unhealthy diet, alcoholism and physical inactivity will prevent the CVD.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

 Sustainable Development: Reality Or Myth? Since the United Nations Environment Conference in Stockholm (1972), the concept of sustainable development has steadily made its way among individual scientists and international organizations. The apotheosis of this development was the adoption by the United Nations in 2015 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. However, many scientists and politicians were skeptical about the concept of sustainable development, since the results of implementing sustainable development in different countries were far from expected. Many decisions taken at the level of the UN and other international organizations turned out to be unfulfilled. In my opinion, as well as some other Russian scientists, the concept of sustainable development is an unrealistic project, it is a myth, although it is very positive and humane. Sustainable development goals can be achieved only by the most economically developed countries entering the era of post-industrialism. In...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
