Effects of long term use of naproxen on the kidneys

Long term use of naproxen can lead to: renal papillary necrosis-death of the opening area of the collecting ducts that enter the kidney, renal insufficiency-poor regulation of blood pressure and ability to remove waste, and acute renal failure-acute shutdown in renal function.

 

Ciprofloxacin

Cyclosporine, also known as Gengraf, Neoral, or SandIMMUNE, is an immunosuppressant that is used for Prevention and treatment of rejection in renal transplants. It also has an unlabeled use of treating steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. It performs this by inhibiting normal immune responses, both cellular and humoral, by inhibiting interleukin-, which initiates T-cell activity. It is available through PO and IV and is metabolized by the liver and excreted in bile with only a small amount is excreted unchanged in urine. Cyclosporine is contraindicated and should cautiously be used in renal impairment. Some major adverse effects regarding the kidneys is diarrhea, vomiting, hyperkalemia, hypomagnesemia, and nephrotoxicity.

Nursing considerations would be to educate patients that some common side effects are nephrotoxicity, increased blood pressure, hand tremors, increased facial and body hair, gingival hyperplasia. Also, it is important instruct the patient to notify their healthcare provider if they experience hematuria, cloudy urine, decrease output, increased frequency, fever, sore throat, tiredness, or abnormal bruising.

We got an email back today from George(Active Planet Kids), and he gave us some feedback on our drafts for the bobble head characters. I got a lot of feedback on my illustration of Kartick Satyanarayan, which I have started changing. One of the main things george wants is it to include other illustration in order to give the bobble head some context and people can make connections to Kartick. I have been working on an illustration on of an elephant and fining a way to combine the two. I plan to try other different poses of the elephant than just a side view, because after looking at it I feel Like it would be too wide of an illustration. I definitely want to try and illustration with the elephant facing forward. I added tears in the elephants eye which is reference from Raju the elephant, who Kartick helped rescue after being chained up and abused for 50 years. Another changed I made based on Georges Feedback was the hair. I added some more curls towards the front of forehead. I also tried adding a logo of the wildlife SOS organization on his shirt, but it’s kind of challenge due to the size of the bobble head. This logo would only work if the bobble head would be blown up in size. One thing I need to work on is his arms, which need to look a little more animated.

George the client that requires the bubble head of important people for his children book finally received our first drafts and he replay to us with the following comments:

“Nelson Mandela Hair needs to be grey South African Flag (object of association) on a lapel pin (or color swaths behind him) Right hand (now waving) should be a fist (maybe bigger, more accented) Look at the eyes a bit more, should they be narrower? * Keep in mind that one of the biggest character traits of Nelson was his big smile and the warmth and comfort that came from him – very grandfatherly.

Rodney Mullens Looks great – nice association with skateboard.

Kartick If you look at his pictures his hair curls on his left side, a little further in on his forehead.He needs to have an elephant association with him. Check out Google images of Raju, the elephant that he helped rescue and that cried. The elephant should be next to him, behind him, her trunk can be resting on his head, but Raju should have a tear in her eye so people know who she is as well. That is what people associate with her – we want to give people hints at who these people are…

I was in change of developing the illustration of Rodney Mullens, and did my best to represent him as the real person as possible. Today also discuss about a meeting this upcoming Saturday to clarify Sam’s websites direction, for the design and feel of a logo that appeal to all audiences.

 

 

Using VoiceThread to Engage Students In Discussions About Writing

When I walked into my first literature course at CSU Channel Islands in 2004, I remember being terrified. At the front of the classroom stood my professor, shuffling through the pages of our large Norton Anthology of Literature. I, like many of our students, was still trying to convince myself that I belonged in college. […]

I have finished my fist draft for George the client that wants the bubble head for his children book. I try to have my illustration as similar as possible to the real Rodney Mullen. American professional skateboarder, entrepreneur, inventor, and public speaker who practices freestyle and street skateboarding. The only problem so far is to draw every single detail to have my illustration as same as the real person it requires many layers on top of other and my file is not as clean as I wanted. I have to work on cleaning my  illustration file because when we send the final approved illustration he need the original file.  I did my best to make the illustration represent what he does. I added a skated clothing a par of skater shorts a 90’s t shirt and some cool skated tennis shoes so can be easy on the eyes that he does like and practice skating, the final element of course it has to be a skate board.

Also today as a team gave feed back to Bess and Sarah to improve their design of the for the Hilell club. Later on the final edits were made and the file was sent successfully. Below is a image of the final drat for Rodney Mullen the skater:

karticksatyanarayan

We have completed our first drafts of the active planet bobble heads. I was in charge of creating the Kartick Satyanarayan character illustration. After getting feedback from my group members, I decided to spend more time working on it today. I added more details and refined other areas of the illustration. One of the things I changed from my original illustration was the addition of detail in the hair. The original bobble heads hair looked flat with no dimension, so I added some highlights to the hair. This helped give it more dimension and the illusion of the hair being parted. I also changed his eyebrows and nose, which I believe really helped capture his likeness even more. Another thing I changed was the beard, which I added more texture to. Then I made sure there was perfect symmetry through out the whole illustration. We plan to have all of our bobble heads emailed to George, from Active Kids Planet, tonight.

I was also working on completing the set of logos for the channel islands Line Lackeys club. I had had previously completed one logo, but I now have eight logos completed. I decided to use a different font for the rest of the logos, going for “union pacific 1942″. I also added color, but it’s not the official color the president wants. I used the blue color just to show where color could be added if they would like to add color, but the logos will work just as well in black and white. I will be sending these to the president of the line lackeys club for feedback.

Today I have been working on our Active planet kids project. I was assigned to create one of the bobble head characters for Kartick Satyanarayan, who is famous for rescuing “dancing” bears in India. His mission is to rescue and help the wildlife in India. One of the first things I did today was look at the research we all found as a group and looked at his photos for reference. I started sketching him out while referring to the proportions that the other bobble heads are drawn in. I made sure that the sketch would match stylistically with what was already out there. As soon as I felt that I had everything correct stylistically, I moved on to taking it to illustrator. I have been very careful to try to get everything looking very symmetrical and with smooth outlines. I am not completely done, but I have made significant progress throughout the day. One of the tricky parts is drawing the beard, which I have been working on the longest. I still want to refine the beard even more, because the edges look to jagged and not uniform. I also incorporated the use of gradients, which a lot of the existing bobble heads have on the clothing part. I think I am successfully capturing his likeness in this stylized illustration of him. As soon as I’m finished I am going to posting it on our Trello board, so my group members can give me feedback on it before we send it out to George. he wants us to send him five illustrations to begin with, before we move on to the rest of the project.

The first stage on my Bubble head assigned was started today. I took my draft into illustrator to start the development. I believe I have compete the head so far, I’m posting my progress on Trello to my teammate can provide their feed back so i can improve my design at the same time I’ll provide mine so they can improve theirs. Hopefully my design goes together with the esthetic of the client. Today also did another idea board for Sam’s websites, and I includes new color pallets and fonts so he can have a better idea of what I can do for him. Also today I gave my feed back to some of the CI clubs flyers on trello and vie text message. We as a team are working together to complete the clients designs.

Below are the images of the progress I did today:

I have been working on the designs for the line lackeys club. I am almost done with the first of four logos. It took a while to get the anchor just right and I’m really impressed with how it’s turning out. I wanted to create the anchor illustration first because it’s gonna be the main symbol for most of the sketches I’m going to be taking to illustrator. I then started to create the banner that will include the clubs name with the Montserrat font. I wanted typography that looked clean and readable, and I felt like the Montserrat font worked for this logo. I’m going to continue working on the rest of the logos tonight and finish them up by tomorrow and have them sent to the president of the club.

Another project my group and I have started working on is for active planet kids. They have 10 different libraries of illustrations that they would like us to work on. So in last nights meeting we decided that we are all going to do research on the three bobble head character we are responsible for. We are going to post all of our research on trello tonight so that we can see what each of us found. This will help us pick out information that will help influence the direction of the elements we are going to illustrate. I will be in charge of creating the illustration for the the Kartick Satyanarayan bobble head. The next step for this project is to start sketching out the illustration and taking it to illustrator for a first draft.
