    Educational Series 8. Using Ground-Water Data for Water Planning
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 1987) Olsen, Bruce M.; Mohring, Eric H.; Bloomgren, Patricia A.
    Thoughtful and broad-based planning is the foundation for wise use and management of Minnesota's ground-water resources. Effective water planning must match a variety of resource questions with appropriate types of data. The ability to understand ground water is limited because ground water is an "unseen" resource. We must rely on information from single points, such as individual monitoring wells, to piece together the resource picture. Hundreds of thousands of single point observations about Minnesota's ground water have been generated by government and the private sector. These data must be arranged and maintained in storage and retrieval libraries if they are to be used efficiently to answer ground-water questions. Data, however, are merely the tools for decision-making; this cannot be overemphasized. Data arrangement showing ground-water conditions will affect how a water management question is perceived, as well as how accurately or completely it can be answered. Appropriately designed data bases are the best means to ensure that all available ground-water information is used to portray conditions realistically. This booklet is an introduction to the use of existing data systems and the integration and development of data management systems into water planning.

    A New Model for Acute Pain Management in Children: Examining Patient Characteristics and Potential Implications for Research and Practice
    (2021-05) Eull, Donna
    AbstractCurrent literature suggests that acute pain management in hospitalized children remains substandard, resulting in adverse physical, cognitive, and emotional effects for many children. Improvements to pediatric acute pain management require an updated conceptual model and validation of current assumptions from the literature. The purpose of the three studies in this dissertation was to advance the state of the science on acute pain management in hospitalized children through an updated conceptual model, a critical review of literature, and analysis of pain management data from a children's hospital. The new acute pain management model transforms the role of the nurse from gatekeeper to facilitator in genuine partnership with children and families. The critical review of the literature suggested that differences in medication type and frequency for acute pain are associated with children’s sex and race/ethnicity, however study limitations make it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions about potential disparities in acute pain management for children. Findings from a retrospective chart review suggested no differences by sex, race/ethnicity, or limited English proficiency (LEP) in the average number of pain assessments, medication by weight, or outcomes. The results from this study may indicate progress in the management of acute pain in hospitalized children, as children in this study demonstrated average pain intensity scores which typically indicate mild, well-controlled pain. Replication of this study in other hospitals is needed to determine organizational effects on pain outcomes. Future research should also focus on identifying the components needed to establish genuine partnerships with patients and families and the potential influence of parents on effective pain management.

    Proceedings of Conference on Inland Lake Renewal and Shoreland Management
    (Water Resources Research Center, University of Minnesota, 1972-06) Water Resources Research Center
    The program of the Conference included an introduction and overview of the program of the Inland Lake Demonstration and Shoreland Management Project of Wisconsin. Reports were presented on selected lake renewal activities, selected shoreland management and development activities, and shoreland management educational programs. Projects were described involving chemical inactivation of nutrients, nutrient exclusion/dilutional pumping, rehabilitation of a small flowage, urban runoff, characterization private controls for recreational land development, shoreland development, and lake rehabilitation legislation and programs. The progress of Minnesota's shoreland program and activities in lake demonstration projects was described. Alum was used successfully for chemical inactivation of nutrients in an overfertilized small lake in Wisconsin. Dilutional pumping resulted in some success in reducing the phosphorus content of another lake. Plastic sheeting, in combination with sand and gravel blankets on the bed of a millpond, was used to control aquatic plants. With regard to water-oriented recreational developments, it was suggested that an automatic property owners association can provide a mechanism for maintaining and managing the common open space and facilities to which individual lake lot owners have common rights. A nationwide survey disclosed that explicit statutes saying that a local unit of government or State agency is authorized to project, manage, or rehabilitate lakes are rare. The 1969 session of the Minnesota Legislature passed the Shoreland Management Act requiring each county to adopt a shoreland management ordinance to help combat lake problems. Considerable progress has been made in implementing the provisions of the Act.

    A Simple Guide to Cholesterol: What you Need to Know and do to Manage your Cholesterol
    (2009-08-20) Matter, Reed
    An estimated half of Americans have high cholesterol making its management both prevalent and important. Many patients may be unaware they have high cholesterol or of its long-term effects on health. Cholesterol does significantly increase a patient’s risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. This PET is designed to give a general overview of what cholesterol is and its risk factors. It also is designed to help enable patients to better manage their cholesterol through reviewing possible lifestyle interventions and pharmacotherapy. Lifestyle changes that are recommended include eating a healthy, low fat diet, exercising at least 30 minutes every day, weight loss, and smoking cessation. Statins, nicotinic acid, fibric acid, and bile acid resins are briefly reviewed including side effects. The need to talk to your physician before starting alternative therapy is also emphasized. The alternative therapy Red Yeast Rice (RYR) extract is also reviewed. Recent research may indicate a role for RYR extract in safely reducing cholesterol in the short-term. However, many of the studies looking at RYR are of poor quality and do not look at its longterm effects. Medications that have been proven to be safe and effective such as statins are recommended for the primary pharmacological management of high cholesterol.
