Idiopathic hyper eosinophilic syndrome (HES) is a rare disease characterized by a sustained increase in eosinophilia. Heart involvement is called Loffler endocarditis. Loffler endocarditis is a serious complication of hyper eosinophilia syndrome, which is characterized by a special type of fibrotic endocarditis. Loffler endocarditis is an inflammatory cardiac condition characterized by eosinophilic infiltration in the heart. The overall prognosis for patients with Loffler endocarditis is very poor. In this article we report an 8-year-old girl who was diagnosed as having Loffler endocarditis in thrombotic phase and was successfully treated with surgery. Our patient had a good prognosis during the half-year follow-up. She had no symptoms of heart failure and echocardiography findings were normal. The cardiac damage occurred in a three-stage process the necrotic, thrombotic, and fibrotic stages. This unusual but sometimes life-threatening disease is often detected in the late phase, resulting in no curat illustrates that with well-controlled peripheral eosinophilia, proper surgical treatment in selected patients can improve their prognosis in the near future but long-term follow-up is necessary. People who present to hospital following self-harm are at high risk of suicide. Despite this, there are considerable variations in the management of this group across hospitals and the factors influencing such variations are not well understood. The aim of this study was to identify the specific hospital and individual factors associated with care pathways following hospital-presenting self-harm. Data on presentations to hospitals by those aged 18 years and over were obtained from the National Self-Harm Registry Ireland for 2017 and 2018. Factors associated with four common outcomes following self-harm (self-discharge, medical and psychiatric admission and psychosocial assessment before discharge) were examined using multilevel Poisson regression models. Care pathways following self-harm varied across hospitals and were influenced by both hospital and individual factors. Individual factors were primarily associated with self-discharge (including male gender, younger age and alcohol involvement), mediccilities and specialist mental health staff has a strong impact on psychiatric care of these patients. Lack of palliative care knowledge among caregivers may pose an access barrier for cognitively impaired older adults, who may benefit from the specialized care. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of an educational intervention in improving palliative care knowledge among informal caregivers of cognitively impaired older adults. Using a one-group, pre- and post-test intervention design, this study implemented an individual, face-to-face educational intervention with an informational brochure for 43 informal caregivers of chronically or seriously ill older adults (50+) with cognitive impairment, recruited from communities in West Alabama. Their level of knowledge about palliative care was assessed by the Palliative Care Knowledge Scale (PaCKS). The pre- and post-test scores were compared by the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, and the racial subgroup (Whites vs. Blacks) comparison was made by the Mann-Whitney U test. There was a statistically significant difference between the pre- and postre knowledge among informal caregivers of chronically or seriously ill older adults with cognitive impairment, particularly among Black caregivers.
