ú At its core, pathology is the study of disease. Diseases occur for many reasons. But some, such as cystic fibrosis and Parkinson?s Disease, occur because of alterations that prevent cells from functioning normally.
ú Understanding of signals and symptoms of alterations in cellular processes is a critical step in diagnosis and treatment of many diseases. For the Advanced Practice Registered Nurse (APRN), this understanding can also help educate patients and guide them through their treatment plans.
ú For this Discussion, you examine a case study and explain the disease that is suggested. You examine the symptoms reported and explain the cells that are involved and potential alterations and impacts.ÿ
A 27-year-old patient history of substance abuse is found unresponsive by emergency medical services (EMS) after being called by the patient?s roommate. The roommate states that he does not know how long the patient had been lying there. Patient received naloxone in the field and has become responsive. He complains of burning pain over his left hip and forearm. Evaluation in the ED revealed a large amount of necrotic tissue over the greater trochanter as well as the forearm. EKG demonstrated prolonged PR interval and peaked T waves. Serum potassium level 6.9 mEq/L.
Post an explanation of the disease highlighted in the scenario you were provided. Include the following in your explanation:
The role genetics plays in the disease.
ú Why the patient is presenting with the specific symptoms described.
ú The physiologic response to the stimulus presented in the scenario and why you think this response occurred.
ú The cells that are involved in this process.
ú How another characteristic (e.g., gender, genetics) would change your response.

Annotated Bibliography
An Annotated Bibliography is a set of sources brief summary. The student will be required to find five sources, at least one primary, about a civilization of their choosing from the previous weeks? material. ÿPlease see the assignment section for more details on what is required.
Instructions.
1) The student will pick a civilization that was covered in week 1 ? week 3.
2) The student will search for four academic secondary sources on this civilization.
An academic source is a trustworthy source that is not open author. Wikipedia is an example of an open author source, where the author cannot be verified. For this reason, Wikipedia could not be used as an academic source.ÿ Encyclopedias, even closed author, are usually not included as an academic source because they are too general. For this reason, the sources that a student chooses must not be an encyclopedia or a dictionary. Journal articles and books are the best sources here, but there are some academically acceptable websites. Websites take some verification though, you must make sure the author or creator is listed, so that you can verify that they are an expert on the subject.
If a multiple websites are chosen, they must be from different domain names entirely.ÿ IE:ÿ If a student ÿused www.charlesI.com,ÿ even if a specific section on wars, they could not use another section of the website www.charlesI.com.
3) The student will search for one primary source on this civilization.
A primary source is original contemporary material from the civilization you have chosen. An example of this would be a treatise from one of the civilization?s philosophers, a letter from the king of that civilization, a poem or even a work of art from the civilization.ÿ
4) The student will create a proper APA formatted reference line for this source.
5) ÿFollowing the APA formatted reference, the student will summarize the source in a paragraph. It is not expected that students read whole books on a subject, but they should find book reviews, abstracts, or quickly analyze the book to give a brief summary. ÿFor websites, a comprehensive description of all aspects of that website should be written. Always cite the home page for the website, not individual pages within the overall website.ÿ
6) Finally, the student should write in a few sentences the importance of the source or the usefulness of the source.ÿ For example, what can we learn from using this source?
Discussion 1: Research and Ethicsÿ
1. Watch this short video regarding correlation and causation:ÿ
2. Read the section of the APA ethics code that involves Research (Standard 8).ÿ http://www.apa.org/ethics/code/
3. Read the following research article and the newspaper article involving Facebook.(copy and paste the links in your browser if they don’t open). They are about the same study. The NYTimes article will help you understand what you are reading on the PNAS site. You need to read both of them and cite both articles in your discussion post.
a. http://www.pnas.org/content/111/24/8788.full.pdfÿ
b. https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/30/technology/facebook-tinkers-with-users-emotions-in-news-feed-experiment-stirring-outcry.html?_r=0
4. Briefly summarize what the Facebook research study was about and what the findings/results were (Thisÿpart of your postÿshould only be a 2-3 sentences).ÿ
5. Using the information you learned about correlation and causation from your textbook readings and video, determine if the results of the Facebook study demonstrate either causation (cause and effect) or correlation (relationship between variables)? If so, state whether it is correlation or causation and why. (please be careful not to confuse relationships with cause and effect). What other variables/factors could account for the results? (Explain).
6. Using the information you learned from reading the APA Ethics code, answer the following: If the Facebook research was to be conducted by psychologists, were there any ethical issues/violations as a result of conducting the experiment? Explain and support your response. You may also include any other thoughts regarding the research.
Your initial response to the initial post for each discussion assignment must be a minimum ofÿ200 words. Citations, titles, copying the questions, references, your name, etc. do not count towards the word count. You are required to use proper grammar and correct spelling. When using other sources, citations using APA style are required (both within text citations and a references section). Direct quotes (even though put in quotations marks and cited) are not permitted and will result in a deduction of 10 points. When responding to a classmate, your response needs to contain substance. Stating you agree or disagree is not enough. Please explain why you may agree or disagree (respectfully) using reputable information to back up your opinion. The f ollowing is an explanation of the grading rubric for the discussion portion of your grade:
ÿÿ
Topic is esthetician
Submit your Annotated Bibliography minimum of 5 credible sources. ÿYour Annotated Bibliography should be formatted exactly like the sample provided. ÿYour 5 sources should represent several perspectives toward your topic which help you inform your audience about the controversy of the topic and help make your argument of the solution or resolution of your topic.
Thesis Statement due Monday.
Actual work where 2 students given their post on this:
Work #1:
Discuss in 500 words, how much redaction is necessary to anonymize an electronic health record. Is it enough to redact the name? The name and address? Is a medical record like a finger print?
Use at least three sources. Use theÿResearch Databases available from the DanforthÿLibrary,ÿnot Google. ÿÿInclude at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.ÿ Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.
Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format.ÿ
Reply to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging assumptions, pointing out something new you learned,ÿoffering suggestions. These peer responses are notÿ‘attaboys’.ÿ
It is important thatÿyou use your own words, that you cite your sources, that youÿcomply with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).ÿÿYour goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not useÿspinbotÿor other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is not a good way to learn anything. I will not spend a lot of my time trying to decipher nonsense. Proof read your work or have it edited. Find something interesting and/or relevant to yourÿwork to write about.ÿ
Work #2:
Discussion Board ? Cost Theory
After reading the article ?Adding Value in Nike?s Production Line? and watching the “Behind Nike Flyprint and Zoom Series – Next Level Innovation,”research your favorite brand of shoes (Nike, Adidas, Reebok, Puma, New Balance, etc) and answer the following questions: Has the company experienced decreased or increased cost attributed to computerization? Were variable cost increased or decreased? Were fixed cost increased or decreased.
