a recall

I wonder what is left to say before this year will end. A lot of things happen some are good some are bad but I guess the best part of every experience is learning. As I try to recall 2009 before it will end I try to close my eyes and remember things since January 1 , 2009 here as follows are the events that changed me, moments I cried, laugh, worry and smile.
January 1 , 2009\
o I spend my new year at adriano’s residence with asoy’s family knowing that my father just left for manila a day before and my mother and older sister with her boyfriend celebrate new year together at her dorm and my younger sister precious with my lola at palawan.. I left my dorm to go to the party at exactly 10:30 pm with kuya tonio while worrying that my uncle will be left alone and will have spend the year end with himself.
o I did enjoy the year end celebration but to think what happen to my family is really a deep burden I’m carrying. ( my parents separated and etc.)
January 5 ( I guess)
o We had our all nighters night held at again adriano’s residence with the youth of main and matina . it was fun.

I Need You
(written by Antonio Neal and Ayiesha Woods)
(recorded by V3)


Verse 1:
If I opened up my heart
and revealed all that I am,
could You really love me unconditionally?

And if I gave You all my trust,
even though my world's been crushed,
would You really love me,
would You really love me?

I'm so afraid, I'm so unsure,
I don't want to (hurt anymore),
but still I know that...

Chorus:
I need You, I need You,
I need You, I need You.

I can't make it without You,
I need You, I need You.

And if I gave it all away today,
would You promise
not to turn away (from me)?

Verse 2:
As I stand before You now,
just a face in the crowd,
can You really hear me,
do You really see me
(do You really see me)?

I don't know what to do,
but if I give my life to You,
could You ever use me,
please never refuse me.

'Cause I'm so afraid, (I'm so afraid),
I'm so unsure, (I'm so unsure),
I don't want to hurt anymore,
(but still I know) that...

Chorus 2:
I need You, I need You,
I need You, I need You.

I can't make it without You,
I need You, I need You.

I need You, I need You,
I need You, I need You.

I can't make it without You,
I need You, I need You.

And if I gave it all away today,
would You promise
not to turn away?

And if I gave it all away today,
would You promise
not to turn away (from me)?

Vamp:
Jesus, I'm calling You,
You know me through and through,
come take this heart of mine,
Lord, take this pain away.

missed moments

sometimes we take things for granted as if they were just a moment in time never knowing its one of the best moment we have missed

questions in me now..

1. why do he acts like that Lord, why do he look at me when he's holding the hand of the other girl? does he want to talk to me? do he love me? or he's just making me jealous...
2. why cant i have him..

why

How can I keep you? Even all I get is pain for fighting for you? I know you are now in love with someone else but why can’t you let me go? How can you care for me less? When all I do is love you and be there .. cant you see my worth?

a life of joy

living for the LOrd is the best thing i ever done with my life

part one

I’m happy seeing my friends fulfilling there life long dreams and I get to find that they are happy, but I wonder about mine? How about me? I regret a lot of things but those mistakes make me who I am now and who to blame? But my self… I think a lot of times who I want to be but never did I find one that I want. I guess I’m at the right path now but still there are lot of things to consider and my life still continue it’s search toward who will I be. I’ve gone through a lot since I left for college to pursue a medical profession which is very known to all Nursing but with this I gain a lot of insight, I get a lot of respect from people around me because I wear a white uniform that signifies health and a capacity to help but I guess people expect more from what is in reality because they don’t get to see what we are really doing. I fall many times , I even fail once in my anatomy because I fall short of what I desire to be and what the Lord wants for me I go and search my happiness in the world, love that I never got to have in my home because all I found is myself being pressured and all so I search to want I think that will fill the empty part of me but all I get was being more broken that I’ve ever been.

I’ve disregard you too many times but you always try to reside close. I want to screech at your face  WILL YOU STOP IT!! I GET IT… STOP KILLING ME!!

You know that I love you and I know you see me as nonentity

It moan me up when I saw you holding her close when I know that’s what my place used to be

I don’t know if she knows who you really are but I doubt that she knows my place in your life.

I see you now as a blank page and not a star whom I admire before

You’re loosing the glaze and your quality

Or is it just I’m letting you go?

 

 

my day to day

i have a very good day, i get to enjoy my life

Baby I know I'm your friend
But I wanna be much more

[Hook:]
I get butterflies when I see you comin
Ooh boy you got me runnin'
This feelin' in my stomach
Tells me I should be your woman
Cause your the only one who makes my fairytale come true

[Chorus:]
How can someone make so sad
But still I only want them to stay (want you to stay)
I wanna say I love you so bad
But I don't wanna scare you away (but I don't want to scare you away)
Please, I wish that you'll understand
That I wanna be more than just your friend
I wish you loved me

[Verse 2: Sammie]
You think that I ain't feelin' you but let me explain (let me explain)
Since, since, since, since hearin' your side of the story it's clear we're feelin' the same
No I really didn't know back then
But maybe it was better then cause now I am a better man
And you ain't got to wish no more
Baby I'm wat you've been waitin' for

[Hook:]
[Tynisha:] Maybe this is why
[Sammie:] I never really liked your male friends
[ Tynisha Keli Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
[Tynisha:] Why
[Sammie:] Never thought that they deserved your attention
[Tynisha:] Why
[Sammie:] I never realized that in your life it was me you were missin'

[Chorus:]
How can someone make me so sad(I don't know)
But still I only want them to stay(I'm a stay with you baby)
I wanna say, I love you, so bad (I love you too)
But I don't wanna scare you away (How can you scare me away baby)
Please, I wish that you'll understand (Tynisha I understand)
That I wanna be more than just your friend (The feelin' is mutual)
I wish you loved me

Please I wish that you'll understand (I understand girl)
That I wanna be more than just your friend (More than just a friend to you babe)
I wish you loved m

i'll never let go

i'll never let Go 

cause i know i'm at the right moment

all i need to do is fight and let you know that i love you

i'll never let go

cause i know you love me too

time cant erase what we had 

no one can replace me 

from your heart

you  love me

and i will fight for that

 you make me smile

and i cant let that pass

no other person can make me see the beauty i have 

and i cant learn to live

unless it's with you...

i wonder how will i start what i want to say.....

my mind seems blank and i cant express what i truly feel

i'm happy that i have you even i know its like a dream that somehow i need to wake up

but with you i find myself at home

your voice calm my wounded heart

your hug brings me to the point of satisfaction

your kiss like no other can make me close my eyes and cause my heart to wonder if its real?

i love you but no reason seems to fit why?

so dont ask me why

cause all i know is that i love you

you might be owned by someone else by what reality present

but i know one day you'll find your self coming home

where you know you truly belongs 

a new start

i just realized that life is happy

if you know how to trust God

life question

it hurts to be alone
but it hurts more to be unloved
sometimes you just wish that you were an important person
to him, that he could love you and accept you despite your short comings and imperfection
but reality is hard that it gives you no choice but to play the game of love and life
even you are slowly dying and losing your heart
yet still taking chances
cause life dictates to go on and never loss hope
but how can i do that when i'm all alone
and unloved..............

smile game

The Smiling Game…
"Play the smiling game in your daily life…”

It's been said that a smile is the lighting system of the face, the cooling system of the head and the heating system of the heart. But a smile is also a powerful weapon against toxic attitudes of all kinds.

Lisa Gurnsey, of Portland, Oregon, wrote to me about a man whose smile quite literally changed her life: "I was having a horrible day -- hating my job, tired of the weather, tired of trying to keep up on bills, and just completely stressed out. I stopped at the post office in the morning and, as I was entering, an older business man commented to me that it was going to be a good day and life shouldn't be as bad as I make it look. I glared at him and simply said, 'I wish it was Friday.'

"I felt better about my day when I left the post office...that man's smile and comment, although irritating at first, made me think.

"The second time I ran into the man I went out of my way to say 'Happy Friday' to him and to smile. I saw him a few more times and always he was cheery and 'made my day.'

"I looked for him around Christmastime to give him a card and explain how his kind words and smile that very first day made me regroup my thinking and realize I didn't have it so bad. But I have not seen him at the post office since then. I look every morning...I go at different times to see if I can catch him. Maybe he retired, maybe he is ill. I think to myself, 'I wish I had thanked him for being a kind person.' I can honestly say this man changed my life. I will work to spread that same feeling to those I see in need of a smile."

Speaker Josh Hinds makes this suggestion: "Play the smiling game in your daily life. See how many people you can get to smile back at you. Keep score and tally the results at the end of each day."

That sounds like a game we can all play. The rules are simple. There are lots of winners. And who knows...you may even "make" someone's day -- even if that someone is you! …

wahhhhhhhhhhh

i want to shout and cry

i dont feel good this day

mmm i feel so bad ..i guess i'm sick.. huhuhuhu 

and it is so devastating knowing the person you want doesnt want u at all

lipat na ako ng bahay

a special story

This is beautiful!





She jumped up as soon as she saw the surgeon come out of the operating room. She said: 'How is my little boy? Is he going to be all right? When can I see him?'
The surgeon said, 'I'm sorry. We did all we could, but your boy didn't make it..'





Sally said, 'Why do little children get cancer? Doesn't God care any more? Where were you, God, when my son needed you?'





The surgeon asked, 'Would you like some time alone with your son? One of the nurses will be out in a few minutes, before he's transported to the university.'

=0 A





Sally asked the nurse to stay with her while she said good bye to son. She ran her fingers lovingly through his thick red curly hair. 'Would you like a lock of his hair?' the nurse asked. Sally nodded yes. The nurse cut a lock of the boy's hair, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Sally..





The mother said, 'It was Jimmy's idea to donate his body to the University for Study. He said it might help somebody else. 'I said no at first, but Jimmy said, ' Mom , I won't be using it after I die. Maybe it will help some other little boy spend one more day with his Mom ' She went on, 'My Jimmy had a heart of gold.. Always thinking of someone else. Always wanting to help others if he could.'





Sally walked out of Children's Mercy Hospital for the last time, after spending most of the last six months there. She put the bag with Jimmy's belongings on the seat beside her in the car.





The drive home was difficult. It was even harder to enter the empty house... She carried Jimmy's belongings, and the plastic bag with the lock of his hair to her son's room.





She started placing the model cars and other personal things back in his room exactly where he had always kept them. She lay down across his bed and, hugging his pillow, cried herself to sleep.





It was around midnight when Sally awoke.. Lying beside her on the bed was a folded letter. The letter said:





'Dear Mom ,





I know you're going to miss me; but don't think that I will ever forget you, or stop loving you, just 'cause I'm not around to say 'I Love You'. I will always love you, Mom , even more with each day. Someday we will see each other again. Until then, if you want to adopt a little boy so you won't be so lonely, that's okay with me. He can have my room and old stuff to play with. But, if you decide to get a girl instead, she probably wouldn't like the same things us boys do. You'll have to buy her dolls and stuff girls like, you know.
Don't be sad thinking about me. This really is a neat place. Grandma and Grandpa met me as soon as I got here and showed me around some, but it will take a long time to see everything. The angels are so cool. I20love to watch them fly. And, you know what? Jesus doesn't look like any of his pictures. Yet, when I saw Him, I knew it was Him. Jesus himself took me to see GOD! And guess what, Mom ? I got to sit on God's knee and talk to Him, like I was somebody important. That's when I told Him that I wanted to write you a letter, to tell you good bye and everything. But I already knew that wasn't allowed. Well, you know what Mom ? God handed me some paper and His own personal pen to write you this letter I think Gabriel is the name of the angel who is going to drop this letter off to you. God said for me to give you the answer to one of the questions you asked Him 'where was He when I needed him?' 'God said He was in the same place with me, as when His son Jesus was on the cross. He was right there, as He always is with all His children.





Oh, by the way, Mom , no one else can see what I've written except you. To everyone else this is just a blank piece of paper. Isn't that cool? I have to give God His pen back now He needs it to write some more names in the Book of Life. Tonight I get to sit at the table with Jesus for supper. I'm sure the food will be great.





Oh, I almost forgot to tell you. I don't hurt anymore the cancer is all gone.. I'm glad because I couldn't stand that pain anymore and God couldn't stand to see me hurt so much, either. That's when He sent The Angel of Mercy to come get me. The Angel said I was a Special Delivery! How about that?

7 things hated by girls

Building and sustaining a good relationship could be real hard work for both men and women. Probably what makes it more intriguing is the challenge of uniqueness; every man/ woman is wired differently and everything around them reflect this subtle point.

The experience of some would have pushed them to a painful decision of abstaining from further interactions with the opposite sex, while others would have taken ample time to devise a way to handle their fate. But in all these, there is no harm in seeking knowledge that can ease your stress and frustration.

I have been privileged to talk to a man who has had it rough in relationships. The problem had got to a height he felt totally inadequate to handle, but as he explored chances, our paths met and today, he is happier for it. Let's hear his ordeal.

“I have had many failed relationships in life. After several attempts to settle down with a woman I could call mine failed in Port Harcourt, I relocated to Lagos, just in case the babes in Port had conspired against my proposals. But to my surprise, it was even harder to secure one in Lagos, since they all seemed informed and padded with wild expectations.

“My problem was nothing close to talking to or getting a girl into a relationship, but keeping the relationship was a trade I could not just master. Life became more frustrating as years rolled by; my mates had turned husbands and fathers with lots of family responsibilities to show, while I still remained bom boy.

“In my quest for why things have not worked for me in this direction, I decided to change my looks. I started jerry-curling my hair, speaking like an African-American (when I had not even been to the international airport), did all sorts of incredible stuff. Within this period, I met an attractive young lady, who was equally attracted to me and I felt this was the catch I had been waiting for.

“The relationship started well with lots of warmth and pleasure. My finesse added colour to the whole adventure as I daily reminded my fiancee and her mother of how I had lived a greater part of my life in America . She (my fiancee) had an elder brother who went to study in America and never cared to return or even keep in touch with home, so, seeing me as a young man who went to study and finally came home to settle, made them respect me so much.

“It wasn't too long in the relationship when I got the news that my brother in-law to be had finally landed in the country, so I obviously prepared and presented myself for recognition.

“My fiancee and the mother quickly introduced me to the Americana, telling him how I had lived in the US for long. Little did I know that that was the beginning of my woes.

“The excited young man rained series of questions on me about where I lived and worked in the US and I was found wanting. The worst part of it was that I initially mentioned I lived in Texas where the guy had also lived for a very long time. I could not even talk about my neighbourhood, what a shame? It was then glaring that I was a blatant liar, deceiving everyone over the months about my identity and personality.

“That, of course, was the end of that relationship. I left in shame and disgrace, with very strong warning never to come near their family house.

“When it came to that, I then knew my 'enemies' were after me and did not want me to marry, but how true was my assertion? I was the only enemy of my life, flowing from what I heard Aidy Thomas say.”

We could laugh and mock this young man, but several other people make mistakes that mar their love lives by the day.

These basically are the things women hate to experience in relationships:
•Lying: I'm sure liars do not read because if they do, they would have seen or heard that lies have a very short life span. You need to tell lies several times just to cover one lie as lies are difficult to keep tract with and what you wanted to achieve with lies elude you within a second.

•Pretence: You do not need to pretend to be who you are not just to win a love. The day the truth comes to fore, the relationship will end on a very bitter note.

•Blackmail: There is absolutely no point to paint others black, be it your ordinary friends or ex-girl friends, thinking you will gain favour. It will only make you appear petty and cheap.

•Selfishness: This is bad any time, any day and anywhere.

•Criticism: Pass your message in simple and clear language without making the other feel like a fool or nonentity.

•Stingy Hands: Givers are rulers, how do you expect to be the man of the relationship when you cannot part with little gifts?

•Insensitivity: Learn to study, appreciate and fulfil a woman's emotional side.

This is the conclusion of the whole matter, men should fear and worship Go

10 tips for partners

Do you know what all happy and healthy marriages have in common?

In every one of them you will find two people committed to making each other happy.

You will find a man who cherishes his wife and puts her needs above his own,
And you will find a wife who respects and trusts her man. We live in very selfish times.

Pop-psychology messages are everywhere in the media encouraging us to love ourselves,
Do right by ourselves, and generally please ourselves first. If you really want a happy marriage,

Don't buy into that type of self-centered thinking. Instead,

Try these 10 time-tested techniques and experience the happiness, peace, and tranquility of a healthy marriage.


1. Make time for each other. It's so easy in our hyper-busy modern lifestyles to forget to set aside a little time to enjoy each other's company. Start a weekly tradition of setting a date for the two of you to be together doing something you both enjoy. Keep it simple. Take a nice walk together. Sip coffee together in a cozy coffeehouse. Talk to each other, reminisce, and get to know each other again.

2. Take time off from each other. Give each other space and time to work on hobbies and personal interests. When you have an interesting project to work on, you will feel more fulfilled and you will be a more interesting person.

3. Make little romantic gestures. Remember to compliment your spouse. Leave a little love note for them to find once in awhile. Celebrate the day you first met. Send flowers for no particular reason. You should continuously make little deposits in your spouse's emotional bank account. The return on your investment will be incredible.

4. Fight fair. Don't argue in front of other people. Don't insult each other or each other's families. Never threaten divorce, and never go to bed angry. Let the little things go, and don't make a big deal out of every disagreement. Before arguing, think; is this really going to matter in the long run?

5. Take interest in what interests your spouse. Watch their favorite shows with them. Read their favorite book, so you can talk about it with them. Encourage them to develop their talents.

6. Listen to your spouse. Husbands, remember that women need to express their feelings. Be a good sport and just listen. Don't interrupt, or get distracted. Empathize with her. Let her know that you can relate to what she's feeling. Ladies, please remember that the kind of talk you might like to have with your husband does not come naturally to most men. Just be patient. It's not a good idea to "unload" on him right when he comes home from work.

7. Accept your spouse for who they are. Practice total acceptance. Don't hold your spouse to your expectations; you will only succeed at building resentment.Read More Articles : http://online-articles.org/relationships/site-map.php

8. Express your commitment. In little ways, you can, and should, renew your vows to each other over and over. Your spouse will feel comfortable and secure knowing that you are truly committed to the marriage. True closeness will only happen when all doubt and insecurity is replaced by confidence in the relationship. Let your spouse know that you really are in it "till death do us part."

9. Trust in each other. Don't be suspicious. Don't snoop through each other's belongings. To help ensure the trust, be honest with your spouse in all things. Never keep secrets from each other, not even little ones.

10. Make it your aim to be your spouse's best friend. Appreciate your spouse for who they are. Loosen up and have fun with each other. If you are practicing the steps above, you are on your way to being your spouse's best friend ? The ultimate relationship in marriage.

what a woman

Within every woman lies an ingrained desire to be treated like a princess, to be deemed like a queen. At times, that desire may be well-hidden by a facade of fortitude, courage, and confidence. At times, that desire may be pushed so deep when she is forced to constantly defend herself from the pain of being used and treated like a slave. Nevertheless, though the woman was created by her Maker as the “helpmeet” of man, still He made her with Royalty, in His image and likeness. Designed to serve and yet made with a heart that is originally tender, she is always seeking for ways to express pure love. And although she was conceived to be the equal help of man, she is nonetheless, a princess, worthy of respect, love and appreciation.

Pain and hurt create a feminist out of a woman. Man’s abuse has driven her to seek equal power, not so much to live as carefree as men, but moreso, to have the power to reciprocate the hurt in such equal intensity as she has received. Neglect and rejection drove the woman to fight for her rights to spend her time as she pleases (get a man’s career position and go party til the wee hours of morning) even if it means, neglecting her own husband — just so he can feel what she feels. And yet while doing so, she hurts even more…

After all, within her hardened heart still lies a burning desire TO LOVE. She may deny it with all the rage she can muster. She may fight it with all the strength she can find. In the end, what hurts more is the pain of knowing that in spite of all the resentment and bitterness, she still does love him, even when he has hurt her badly. She has forgotten she is a princess. She has forgotten she is special. She has forgotten that she is, above all, LOVED. Created out of love, created to love, created to be loved. SHE IS WOMAN.

For some women, stubbornness has become her friend, who she thinks can defend her all the days of her life. Ahhh but woman, you were not born to be on the defensive mode your lifetime. For she who lives in defense, forgets to love. And to love, is what woman was made for.

So what is the path to Eve’s freedom?

It is the path to the Cross. For upon that ultimate sacrifice, the King of Kings opened the way for healing to take place upon a woman’s bound and hardened heart. The difficulty of forgiveness that is almost impossible has been made possible by that paramount display of LOVE. After all, He died so the princess can once again live. He died, so the princess can once again REMEMBER…and not just through a vague memory of childhood’s innocence…but once again, REMEMBER AFRESH in the heart, what it means to be a woman.

Let Perfect Love break your hardened heart, o woman. Let Perfect Love aid you in forgiving and releasing. And this Perfect Love does have a name. It is spelled as J-E-S-U-S.

May today be the day of liberty for every woman reading this.

The most precious things in life are very fragile. Handle with much care, Men.

*This post is dedicated to all women out there, married or single, who may be living in forced pretense, trying to hide the filthy hurts and rejection inside by an ever-ready smile or a mask of I-can-do-anything. I have been there. Pretending doesn’t get the pain out, nor will time heal the wounds — not when you’ve been pretending the whole time. So, chill out, open your hardened heart, and let Jesus love on you.

common misconception in digestive system diseases

Myth # 1 Ulcers: Spicy food and stress cause stomach ulcers.
False - The truth is, the majority of stomach ulcers are caused either by infection with a bacterium called Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) or by use of pain medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen, the so-called nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Most H. pylori-related ulcers can be cured with antibiotics. NSAID-induced ulcers can be cured with time, stomach-protective medications, antacids, and avoidance of NSAIDs. Now that it is appreciated that H. pylori and NSAIDs are the cause of most ulcers and patients are being managed appropriately, the ulcers that are coming to medical attention are increasingly likely to be unrelated to H. pylori or NSAIDs. Spicy food and stress (except when associated with extreme medical conditions) may aggravate ulcer symptoms in some people, but they do not cause ulcers. Ulcers can also be caused by cancer.

Myth # 2 Heartburn: Smoking a cigarette helps relieve heartburn.
False - Actually, cigarette smoking may contribute to heartburn. Heartburn occurs when the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) - a muscle between the esophagus and stomach - relaxes, allowing the acidic contents of the stomach to splash back (reflux) into the esophagus. People who smoke more frequently have inflammation of the esophagus (esophagitis), presumably caused by increased reflux of acid, that is the basis of heartburn. The increased reflux is believed to be due to the fact that cigarette smoking causes the LES to relax


Myth # 3 Celiac Disease: Celiac disease is a rare childhood disease.
False - Celiac disease affects both children and adults. About 1 in 200 people in the United States have the genetic predisposition for celiac disease although not all of them have the disease. Sometimes celiac disease first causes symptoms during childhood, usually diarrhea, growth failure, and failure to thrive. But the disease can also first cause symptoms in adults of any age. These symptoms may be vague and therefore attributed to other conditions. Symptoms can include bloating and abdominal distention, flatulence, diarrhea, and abdominal pain due to the involvement of the small intestine as well as skin rash, anemia, and thinning of the bones (osteoporosis) due to malabsorption of nutrients by the diseased intestine. Celiac disease may cause such nonspecific symptoms for several years before being correctly diagnosed and treated.
People with celiac disease should not eat any foods containing gluten, a protein in wheat, rye, and barley, whether they have symptoms or not. In celiac disease, gluten provokes an inflammatory reaction by the body that destroys the lining of the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. Even a small amount of gluten can cause damage, and sometimes no symptoms will be apparent.


Myth # 4 Bowel Regularity: Bowel regularity means a bowel movement every day.
False - The frequency of bowel movements among normal, healthy people varies from three a day to three a week, and some perfectly healthy people fall outside both ends of this range. Nevertheless, even three bowel movements a day can be abnormal in someone who usually has one bowel movement a day. People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) may have fluctuating numbers of stools each day as well as fluctuating consistency of their stools.
Myth # 5 Constipation: Habitual use of enemas to treat constipation is harmless.
False? - It is not clear whether or not habitual use of enemas is harmless since there has been very little study of the effects of enemas or laxatives over the long term. Early studies showed that laxatives might injure the colon if taken chronically by impairing contraction of the colonic muscles, and this finding was extrapolated to include enemas. The data from the studies is not strong, however. In fact, some physicians feel that enemas are preferred over laxatives since they are a more "natural" means of stimulating a bowel movement. (Enemas mimic a large amount of stool in the rectum, the usual stimulus for a bowel movement.) An ongoing need for enemas is not normal; you should see a doctor if you find yourself relying on them or any other medication to have a bowel movement.
Myth # 6 Diverticulosis: Diverticulosis is an uncommon and serious problem.
False - Actually, the majority of Americans over age 60 have diverticulosis, but only a small percentage have symptoms or complications. Diverticulosis is a condition in which little sacs or out-pouchings, called diverticula, develop in the wall of the colon. These sacs tend to appear and increase in number as individuals age. Most people have no symptoms and learn that they have diverticula after an X-ray or intestinal examination (for example, colonoscopy or barium enema) that is being done for a purpose unrelated to the diverticulosis. Less than 10 per cent of people with diverticulosis ever develop complications such as infection (diverticulitis), bleeding, or perforation of the colon.
Myth # 7 Inflammatory Bowel Disease (Ulcerative Colitis and Crohn's Disease): Inflammatory bowel disease is caused by psychological problems.
False - Inflammatory bowel disease is the general name for two diseases that cause inflammation in the intestines, Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. The cause of the disease is unknown, but researchers speculate that it may result from a virus or bacteria interacting with the body's immune system. No evidence has been found to support the theory that inflammatory bowel disease is caused by tension, anxiety, or any other psychological factor or disorder, although these can aggravate the discomfort caused by the disease.
Myth # 8 Cirrhosis: Cirrhosis is only caused by alcoholism.
False - Alcoholism is just one of many causes of cirrhosis. Cirrhosis is scarring and decreased function of the liver. In the United States, alcohol causes less than one-half of cirrhosis cases. The remaining cases are from diseases that cause liver damage. For example, in children, cirrhosis may result from cystic fibrosis, alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, biliary atresia, glycogen storage diseases, and other rare diseases. In adults, cirrhosis may be caused by hepatitis B or C, primary biliary cirrhosis, diseases of abnormal storage of metals (like iron or copper) in the body, severe reactions to prescription drugs, or injury to the ducts that drain bile from the liver. In adults, cirrhosis can also be caused by nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which is becoming the most common liver disease in the United States, affecting 2 to 5 percent of Americans. NASH is associated with the increasing prevalence of obesity and diabetes.
Myth # 9 Ostomy Surgery: After ostomy surgery, men become impotent, and women have impaired sexual function and are unable to become pregnant.
False - Ostomy surgery does not, in general, interfere with a person's sexual or reproductive capabilities. Ostomy surgery is a procedure in which the diseased part of the small or large intestine is removed and the remaining intestine is attached to an opening in the abdomen. Stool is collected in a bag taped to the skin over the opening. Alternatively, an internal pouch that collects the stool may be formed from a portion of the intestine. The pouch then can be emptied by insertion of a catheter at regular intervals.
Although some men who have had radical ostomy surgery for cancer lose the ability to achieve and sustain an erection, most men do not, or, if they do, it is temporary. This is caused by damage to the nerves that supply the penis. If erectile dysfunction persists, a variety of solutions are available. A urologist, a doctor who specializes in such problems, can help find the best solution.
In women, ostomy surgery does not damage sexual or reproductive organs, so it is not a direct cause of sexual problems or sterility. Factors such as pain and the adjustment to a new body image may create temporary sexual problems, but they can usually be resolved with time and, in some cases, counseling. Unless a woman has had a hysterectomy to remove her uterus, she can still bear children.

growth and development according to erik erikson

stagest of growth and development

1. Infancy: Birth to 18 Months
Ego Development Outcome: Trust vs. Mistrust
Basic strength: Drive and Hope
Erikson also referred to infancy as the Oral Sensory Stage (as anyone might who watches a baby put everything in her mouth) where the major emphasis is on the mother's positive and loving care for the child, with a big emphasis on visual contact and touch. If we pass successfully through this period of life, we will learn to trust that life is basically okay and have basic confidence in the future. If we fail to experience trust and are constantly frustrated because our needs are not met, we may end up with a deep-seated feeling of worthlessness and a mistrust of the world in general.
Incidentally, many studies of suicides and suicide attempts point to the importance of the early years in developing the basic belief that the world is trustworthy and that every individual has a right to be here.
Not surprisingly, the most significant relationship is with the maternal parent, or whoever is our most significant and constant caregiver.
2. Early Childhood: 18 Months to 3 Years
Ego Development Outcome: Autonomy vs. Shame
Basic Strengths: Self-control, Courage, and Will
During this stage we learn to master skills for ourselves. Not only do we learn to walk, talk and feed ourselves, we are learning finer motor development as well as the much appreciated toilet training. Here we have the opportunity to build self-esteem and autonomy as we gain more control over our bodies and acquire new skills, learning right from wrong. And one of our skills during the "Terrible Two's" is our ability to use the powerful word "NO!" It may be pain for parents, but it develops important skills of the will. (See Use of the Will from He Hit Me Back First!)
It is also during this stage, however, that we can be very vulnerable. If we're shamed in the process of toilet training or in learning other important skills, we may feel great shame and doubt of our capabilities and suffer low self-esteem as a result.
The most significant relationships are with parents.
3. Play Age: 3 to 5 Years
Ego Development Outcome: Initiative vs. Guilt
Basic Strength: Purpose
During this period we experience a desire to copy the adults around us and take initiative in creating play situations. We make up stories with Barbie's and Ken's, toy phones and miniature cars, playing out roles in a trial universe, experimenting with the blueprint for what we believe it means to be an adult. We also begin to use that wonderful word for exploring the world—"WHY?"
While Erikson was influenced by Freud, he downplays biological sexuality in favor of the psychosocial features of conflict between child and parents. Nevertheless, he said that at this stage we usually become involved in the classic "Oedipal struggle" and resolve this struggle through "social role identification." If we're frustrated over natural desires and goals, we may easily experience guilt.
The most significant relationship is with the basic family.
4. School Age: 6 to 12 Years
Ego Development Outcome: Industry vs. Inferiority
Basic Strengths: Method and Competence
During this stage, often called the Latency, we are capable of learning, creating and accomplishing numerous new skills and knowledge, thus developing a sense of industry. This is also a very social stage of development and if we experience unresolved feelings of inadequacy and inferiority among our peers, we can have serious problems in terms of competence and self-esteem.
As the world expands a bit, our most significant relationship is with the school and neighborhood. Parents are no longer the complete authorities they once were, although they are still important.
5. Adolescence: 12 to 18 Years
Ego Development Outcome: Identity vs. Role Confusion
Basic Strengths: Devotion and Fidelity
Up to this stage, according to Erikson, development mostly depends upon what is done to us. From here on out, development depends primarily upon what we do. And while adolescence is a stage at which we are neither a child nor an adult, life is definitely getting more complex as we attempt to find our own identity, struggle with social interactions, and grapple with moral issues.
Our task is to discover who we are as individuals separate from our family of origin and as members of a wider society. Unfortunately for those around us, in this process many of us go into a period of withdrawing from responsibilities, which Erikson called a "moratorium." And if we are unsuccessful in navigating this stage, we will experience role confusion and upheaval.
A significant task for us is to establish a philosophy of life and in this process we tend to think in terms of ideals, which are conflict free, rather than reality, which is not. The problem is that we don't have much experience and find it easy to substitute ideals for experience. However, we can also develop strong devotion to friends and causes.
It is no surprise that our most significant relationships are with peer groups.
6. Young adulthood: 18 to 35
Ego Development Outcome: Intimacy and Solidarity vs. Isolation
Basic Strengths: Affiliation and Love
In the initial stage of being an adult we seek one or more companions and love. As we try to find mutually satisfying relationships, primarily through marriage and friends, we generally also begin to start a family, though this age has been pushed back for many couples who today don't start their families until their late thirties. If negotiating this stage is successful, we can experience intimacy on a deep level.
If we're not successful, isolation and distance from others may occur. And when we don't find it easy to create satisfying relationships, our world can begin to shrink as, in defense, we can feel superior to others.
Our significant relationships are with marital partners and friends.
7. Middle Adulthood: 35 to 55 or 65
Ego Development Outcome: Generativity vs. Self absorption or Stagnation
Basic Strengths: Production and Care
Now work is most crucial. Erikson observed that middle-age is when we tend to be occupied with creative and meaningful work and with issues surrounding our family. Also, middle adulthood is when we can expect to "be in charge," the role we've longer envied.
The significant task is to perpetuate culture and transmit values of the culture through the family (taming the kids) and working to establish a stable environment. Strength comes through care of others and production of something that contributes to the betterment of society, which Erikson calls generativity, so when we're in this stage we often fear inactivity and meaninglessness.
As our children leave home, or our relationships or goals change, we may be faced with major life changes—the mid-life crisis—and struggle with finding new meanings and purposes. If we don't get through this stage successfully, we can become self-absorbed and stagnate.
Significant relationships are within the workplace, the community and the family.
8. Late Adulthood: 55 or 65 to Death
Ego Development Outcome: Integrity vs. Despair
Basic Strengths: Wisdom
Erikson felt that much of life is preparing for the middle adulthood stage and the last stage is recovering from it. Perhaps that is because as older adults we can often look back on our lives with happiness and are content, feeling fulfilled with a deep sense that life has meaning and we've made a contribution to life, a feeling Erikson calls integrity. Our strengt h comes from a wisdom that the world is very large and we now have a detached concern for the whole of life, accepting death as the completion of life.
On the other hand, some adults may reach this stage and despair at their experiences and perceived failures. They may fear death as they struggle to find a purpose to their lives, wondering "Was the trip worth it?" Alternatively, they may feel they have all the answers (not unlike going back to adolescence) and end with a strong dogmatism that only their view has been correct.
The significant relationship is with all of mankind—"my-kind

acute gastritis

Gastritis is a term used to describe a group of conditions with one thing in common: inflammation of the lining of your stomach. The inflammation of gastritis is often the result of infection with the same bacterium that causes most stomach ulcers. However, other factors — such as traumatic injury, regular use of certain pain relievers or drinking too much alcohol — also can contribute to gastritis.
Gastritis may occur suddenly (acute gastritis) or it can occur slowly over time (chronic gastritis). In some cases, gastritis can lead to ulcers and an increased risk of stomach cancer. For most people, however, gastritis isn't serious and improves quickly with treatment

The signs and symptoms of gastritis include:
A gnawing or burning ache or pain (indigestion) in your upper abdomen that may become either worse or better with eating
Nausea
Vomiting
Loss of appetite
Belching or bloating
A feeling of fullness in your upper abdomen after eating
Weight loss

Acute gastritis occurs suddenly and is more likely to cause nausea and burning pain or discomfort in your upper abdomen.
Chronic gastritis develops gradually and is more likely to cause a dull pain and a feeling of fullness or loss of appetite after a few bites of food. For many people, though, chronic gastritis causes no signs or symptoms at all.
Occasionally, gastritis may cause stomach bleeding, although it's rarely severe. But be aware that bleeding in your stomach that causes you to vomit blood or pass black, tarry stools requires immediate medical care.
Gastritis usually develops when your stomach's protective layer becomes weakened or damaged. A mucus-lined barrier protects the walls of your stomach from the acids that help digest your food. Weaknesses in the barrier allow your digestive juices to damage and inflame your stomach lining.
A number of factors can contribute to or trigger gastritis, including:

.Bacterial infection.
People infected with Helicobacter pylori can experience gastritis — most commonly chronic gastritis. Half the world's population is thought to be infected with this bacterium, which passes from person to person. But the majority of those infected don't experience any complications of H. pylori infection. In some people, H. pylori may break down the stomach's inner protective coating, causing changes in the stomach's lining. The reason why some people experience complications from H. pylori infection and others don't isn't clear. However, doctors believe vulnerability to the bacterium could be inherited or it could be caused by lifestyle choices, such as smoking and high stress levels.
Regular use of pain relievers.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as aspirin, ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) and naproxen (Aleve), can cause both acute gastritis and chronic gastritis. Using these drugs regularly or taking too much of these drugs may reduce a key substance that helps preserve the protective lining of your stomach. Stomach problems are less likely to develop if you take NSAIDs only occasionally.
Excessive alcohol use.
Alcohol can irritate and erode your stomach lining, which makes your stomach more vulnerable to digestive juices. Excessive alcohol use is more likely to cause acute gastritis.
Stress. Severe stress due to major surgery, traumatic injury, burns or severe infections can cause acute gastritis.
Bile reflux disease.
Bile — a fluid that helps you digest fats — is produced in your liver and stored in your gallbladder. When it's released from the gallbladder, bile travels to your small intestine through a series of thin tubes. Normally, a ring-like sphincter muscle (pyloric valve) prevents bile from flowing into your stomach from your small intestine. But if this valve doesn't work properly, or if it has been removed because of surgery, bile can flow into your stomach, leading to inflammation and chronic gastritis.
Your own body attacking cells in your stomach
. Called autoimmune gastritis, this rare condition occurs when your body attacks the cells that make up your stomach lining. This produces a reaction by your immune system that can wear away at your stomach's protective barrier. Autoimmune gastritis is more common in people with other autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto's disease, Addison's disease and type 1 diabetes. Autoimmune gastritis can also be associated with vitamin B-12 deficiency.
Other diseases and conditions.
Gastritis may be associated with other medical conditions, including HIV/AIDS, Crohn's disease, parasitic infections, some connective tissue disorders, and liver or kidney failure.

Factors that may increase your risk of gastritis include:

H. pylori infection. The most significant risk factor for gastritis is infection with H. pylori bacteria. Though it's thought to occur in half the world's population, H. pylori infection is most common in developing countries. Most people have no signs or symptoms of H. pylori infection.
Regular use of aspirin or other NSAIDs. If you regularly take aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke, you're at risk of developing gastritis. The same is true if you take anti-inflammatory pain relievers for arthritis or another chronic condition. That's because long-term use of aspirin and other NSAIDs can cause stomach irritation and bleeding.
Older age. Older adults have an increased risk of gastritis because the stomach lining tends to thin with age and because older adults are more likely to have H. pylori infection or autoimmune disorders than younger people are

Ampicillin - Clinical Pharmacology
Ampicillin for Injection, USP diffuses readily into most body tissues and fluids. However, penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid and brain occurs only when the meninges are inflamed. Ampicillin is excreted largely unchanged in the urine and its excretion can be delayed by concurrent administration of probenecid. The active form appears in the bile in higher concentrations than those found in serum. Ampicillin is the least serum-bound of all the penicillins, averaging about 20% compared to approximately 60 to 90% for other penicillins. Ampicillin for Injection, USP is well tolerated by most patients and has been given in doses of 2 grams daily for many weeks without adverse reactions.
Microbiology
While in vitro studies have demonstrated the susceptibility of most strains of the following organisms, clinical efficacy for infections other than those included in the
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
section has not been demonstrated.
The following bacteria have been shown in in vitro studies to be susceptible to Ampicillin:
GRAM-POSITIVE ORGANISMS: Hemolytic and nonhemolytic streptococci, D. pneumoniae, nonpenicillinase-producing staphylococci, Clostridia spp., B. anthracis, Listeria monocytogenes, and most strains of enterococci.
GRAM-NEGATIVE ORGANISMS: H. influenzae, N. gonorrhoeae, N. meningitidis, Proteus mirabilis, and many strains of Salmonella, Shigella, and E. coli.
Ampicillin does not resist destruction by penicillinase.
Susceptibility Tests
Ampicillin Susceptibility Test Discs, 10 µg, should be used to estimate the in vitro susceptibility of bacteria to Ampicillin.
Indications and Usage for Ampicillin
Ampicillin for Injection, USP is indicated in the treatment of infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated organisms in the following conditions:
Respiratory tract Infections caused by S. pneumoniae (formerly D. pneumoniae). Staphylococcus aureus (penicillinase and nonpenicillinase-producing), H. influenzae, and Group A beta-hemolytic Streptococci.
Bacterial Meningitis caused by E. coli, Group B Streptococci, and other Gram-negative bacteria (Listeria monocytogenes, N. meningitidis). The addition of an aminoglycoside with Ampicillin may increase its effectiveness against Gram-negative bacteria.
Septicemia and Endocarditis caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms including Streptococcus sp., penicillin G-susceptible staphylococci, and enterococci. Gram-negative sepsis caused by E. coli, Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella sp. respond to Ampicillin. Endocarditis due to enterococcal strains usually respond to intravenous therapy. The addition of an aminoglycoside may enhance the effectiveness of Ampicillin when treating streptoccoccal endocarditis.
Urinary Tract Infections caused by sensitve strains of E. coli and Proteus mirabilis.
Gastrointestinal Infections caused by Salmonella typhosa (typhoid fever), other Salmonella sp., and Shigella sp. (dysentery) usually respond to oral or intravenous therapy.
Bacteriology studies to determine the causative organisms and their susceptibility to Ampicillin should be performed. Therapy may be instituted prior to obtaining results of susceptibility testing.
It is advisable to reserve the parenteral form of this drug for moderately severe and severe infections and for patients who are unable to take the oral forms. A change to oral Ampicillin may be made as soon as appropriate.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Ampicillin and other antibacterial drugs, Ampicillin should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
Indicated surgical procedures should be performed.
Contraindications
A history of a previous hypersensitivity reaction to any of the penicillins is a contraindication.
Warnings
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactoid) reactions have been reported in patients on penicillin therapy. Although anaphylaxis is more frequent following parenteral therapy, it has occurred in patients on oral penicillins. These reactions are more apt to occur in individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity and/or a history of sensitivity to multiple allergens.
There have been well-documented reports of individuals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity reactions who have experienced severe hypersensitivity reactions when treated with a cephalosporin. Before initiating therapy with a penicillin, careful inquiry should be made concerning previous hypersensitivity reactions to penicillins, cephalosporins, and other allergens. If an allergic reaction occurs, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
SERIOUS ANAPHYLACTOID REACTIONS REQUIRE IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY TREATMENT WITH EPINEPHRINE, OXYGEN, INTRAVENOUS STEROIDS, AND AIRWAY MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING INTUBATION, SHOULD ALSO BE ADMINISTERED AS INDICATED.
Precautions
General
The possibility of superinfections with mycotic organisms or bacterial pathogens should be kept in mind during therapy. In such cases, discontinue the drug and substitute appropriate treatment.
A high percentage (43 to 100 percent) of patients with infectious mononucleosis who receive Ampicillin develop a skin rash. Typically, the rash appears 7 to 10 days after the start of oral Ampicillin therapy and remains for a few days to a week after the drug is discontinued. In most cases, the rash is maculopapular, pruritic, and generalized. Therefore, the administration of Ampicillin is not recommended in patients with mononucleosis. It is not known whether these patients are truly allergic to Ampicillin.
Prescribing Ampicillin in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Information for Patients
Patients should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including Ampicillin should only be used to treat bacterial infections. They do not treat viral infections (e.g., the common cold). When Ampicillin is prescribed to treat a bacterial infection, patients should be told that although it is common to feel better early in the course of therapy, the medication should be taken exactly as directed. Skipping doses or not completing the full course of therapy may: (1) decrease the effectiveness of the immediate treatment, and (2) increase the likelihood that bacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatable by Ampicillin or other antibacterial drugs in the future.
Laboratory Tests
As with any potent drug, periodic assessment of organ system function, including renal, hepatic, and hematopoietic, should be made during prolonged therapy.
Transient elevation of serum transaminase has been observed following administration of Ampicillin. The significance of this finding is not known.
Drug Interactions
The concurrent administration of allopurinol and Ampicillin increases substantially the incidence of skin rashes in patients receiving both drugs as compared to patients receiving Ampicillin alone. It is not known whether this potentiation of Ampicillin rashes is due to allopurinol or the hyperuricemia present in these patients.
Drug/Laboratory Test Interactions
With high urine concentrations of Ampicillin, false-positive glucose reactions may occur if Clinitest, Benedict's Solution, or Fehling's Solution are used. Therefore, it is recommended that glucose tests based on enzymatic glucose oxidase reactions (such as Clinistix or Tes-Tape) be used.
Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, and Impairment of Fertility
No long-term animal studies have been conducted with this drug.
Pregnancy - Category B
Reproduction studies have been performed in laboratory animals at doses several times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of adverse effects due to Ampicillin. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Labor and Delivery
Oral Ampicillin-class antibiotics are poorly absorbed during labor. Studies in guinea pigs showed that intravenous administration of Ampicillin slightly decreased the uterine tone and frequency of contractions, but moderately increased the height and duration of contractions. However, it is not known whether use of these drugs in humans during labor or delivery has immediate or delayed adverse effects on the fetus, prolongs the duration of labor, or increases the likelihood that forceps delivery or other obstetrical intervention or resuscitation of the newborn will be necessary.
Nursing Mothers
Ampicillin is excreted in trace amounts in human milk. Therefore, caution should be exercised when Ampicillin-class antibiotics are administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric Use
Guidelines for the administration of these drugs to children are presented in
DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.
Adverse Reactions
As with other penicillins, it may be expected that untoward reactions will be essentially limited to sensitivity phenomena. They are more likely to occur in individuals who have previously demonstrated hypersensitivity to penicillins and in those with a history of allergy, asthma, hay fever, or urticaria.
The following adverse reactions have been reported as associated with the use of Ampicillin:
Gastrointestinal
Glossitis, stomatitis, black "hairy" tongue, nausea, vomiting, enterocolitis, pseudomembranous colitis, and diarrhea. (These reactions are usually associated with oral dosage forms.)
Hypersensitivity Reactions
Skin rashes and urticaria have been reported frequently. A few cases of exfoliative dermatitis and erythema multiforme have been reported. Anaphylaxis is the most serious reaction experienced and has usually been associated with the parenteral dosage form.
Note: Urticaria, other skin rashes, and serum sickness-like reactions may be controlled with antihistamines and, if necessary, systemic corticosteroids. Whenever such reactions occur, Ampicillin should be discontinued, unless, in the opinion of the physician, the condition being treated is life-threatening and amenable only to Ampicillin therapy. Serious anaphylactic reactions require the immediate use of epinephrine, oxygen, and intravenous steroids.
Liver– A moderate rise in serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) has been noted, particularly in infants, but the significance of this finding is unknown. Mild transitory SGOT elevations have been observed in individuals receiving larger (two to four times) than usual and oft-repeated intramuscular injections. Evidence indicates that glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) is released at the site of intramuscular injection of Ampicillin sodium and that the presence of increased amounts of this enzyme in the blood does not necessarily indicate liver involvement.
Hemic and Lymphatic Systems– Anemia, thrombocytopenia, thrombocytopenic purpura, eosinophilia, leukopenia, and agranulocytosis have been reported during therapy with the penicillins. These reactions are usually reversible on discontinuation of therapy and are believed to be hypersensitivity phenomena.
Overdosage
In cases of overdose, discontinue medication, treat symptomatically, and institute supportive measures as required. In patients with renal function impairment, Ampicillin-class antibiotics can be removed by hemodialysis but not peritoneal dialysis.
Ampicillin Dosage and Administration
Infections of the respiratory tract and soft tissues.
Patients weighing 40 kg (88 lbs) or more: 250 to 500 mg every 6 hours.
Patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lbs): 25 to 50 mg/kg/day in equally divided doses at 6- to 8- hour intervals.
Infections of the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts (including those caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae in females).
Patients weighing 40 kg (88 lbs) or more: 500 mg every 6 hours.
Patients weighing less than 40 kg (88 lbs): 50 mg/kg/day in equally divided doses at 6- to 8- hour intervals.
In the treatment of chronic urinary tract and intestinal infections, frequent bacteriological and clinical appraisal is necessary. Smaller doses than those recommended above should not be used. Higher doses should be used for stubborn or severe infections. In stubborn infections, therapy may be required for several weeks. It may be necessary to continue clinical and/or bacteriological follow-up for several months after cessation of therapy.
Urethritis in males due to N. gonorrhoeae.
Adults – Two doses of 500 mg each at an interval of 8 to 12 hours. Treatment may be repeated if necessary or extended if required.
In the treatment of complications of gonorrheal urethritis, such as prostatitis and epididymitis, prolonged and intensive therapy is recommended. Cases of gonorrhea with a suspected primary lesion of syphilis should have darkfield examinations before receiving treatment. In all other cases where concomitant syphilis is suspected, monthly serological tests should be made for a minimum of four months. The doses for the preceding infections may be given by either the intramuscular or intravenous route. A change to oral Ampicillin may be made when appropriate.
Bacterial Meningitis
Adults and children – 150 to 200 mg/kg/day in equally divided doses every 3 to 4 hours. (Treatment may be initiated with intravenous drip therapy and continued with intramuscular injections.) The doses for other infections may be given by either the intravenous or intramuscular route.
Septicemia
Adults and children – 150 to 200 mg/kg/day. Start with intravenous administration for at least three days and continue with the intramuscular route every 3 to 4 hours.
Treatment of all infections should be continued for a minimum of 48 to 72 hours beyond the time that the patient becomes asymptomatic or evidence of bacterial eradication has been obtained. A minimum of 10-days treatment is recommended for any infection caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci to help prevent the occurrence of acute rheumatic fever or acute glomerulonephritis.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Use only freshly prepared solutions. Intramuscular and intravenous injections should be administered within one hour after preparation since the potency may decrease significantly after this period.
For Intramuscular Use– Dissolve contents of a vial with the amount of Sterile Water for Injection, USP, or Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP, listed in the table below:

While Ampicillin for Injection, USP, 1 g and 2 g, are primarily for intravenous use, they may be administered intramusculary when the 250 mg or 500 mg vials are unavailable. In such instances, dissolve in 3.5 or 6.8 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP, or Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP, respectively. The resulting solution will provide a concentration of 250 mg per mL.
Ampicillin for Injection, USP, 125 mg, is intended primarily for pediatric use. It also serves as a convenient dosage form when small parenteral doses of the antibiotic are required.
For Direct Intravenous Use– Add 5 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP, or Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP to the 125, 250, and 500 mg vials and administer slowly over a 3- to 5- minute period. Ampicillin for Injection, USP, 1 g or 2 g, may also be given by direct Intravenous administration. Dissolve in 7.4 or 14.8 mL Sterile Water for Injection, USP, or Bacteriostatic Water for Injection, USP, respectively, and administer slowly over at least 10 to 15 minutes. CAUTION: More rapid administration may result in convulsive seizures.
For Administration by Intravenous Drip– Reconstitute as directed above (For Direct Intravenous Use) prior to diluting with Intravenous Solution. Stability studies on Ampicillin sodium at several concentrations in various intravenous solutions indicate the drug will lose less than 10% activitiy at the temperatures noted for the time periods stated.
