What are the symptoms of Parkinsons disease? What are the possible causes? Be sure to discuss both hereditary and environmental factors thought to contribute to this disease.

Assignment 2: LASA 1: Case Studies Presentation
By Wednesday, November 25, 2015, create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to educate a group of medical students participating in their grand rounds. There should be at least ten slides in your Microsoft PowerPoint as well as a title slide and a slide listing all your sources for creating this slideshow. You should also create speaker notes for each slide of your presentation, which include the main talking points for the topic addressed on the slide. Save the presentation as
In order to create your slideshow, review the two case studies and then answer the questions following each case study:
Case Study 1: Isaac is a fifty-nine-year-old man. Several months ago, he noticed a slight tremor in his hands. He assumed this to be a normal consequence of aging. The tremor, however, gradually worsened, along with some muscular stiffness and slowness in initiating movement. The tremor was more pronounced when he was not voluntarily moving. Isaac was referred to a neurologist, who diagnosed him with Parkinson’s disease. After visiting the neurologist, Isaac and his family ask you to further explain this disorder. Isaac also asks about L-dopa as a treatment—the neurologist had mentioned L-dopa as an effective medication but had instead prescribed selegiline:

What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?
What are the possible causes? Be sure to discuss both hereditary and environmental factors thought to contribute to this disease.
What parts of the brain does this disease affect?
Why do you think the neurologist prescribed selegiline instead of L-dopa?

Case Study 2: Sabrina is a twenty-seven-year-old woman who recently underwent a corpus callosotomy. Initially after surgery, when given a verbal command, Sabrina demonstrated marked apraxia of the left hand. However, the extent of this issue diminished over time. Answer the following questions about this client:

What disorder was most likely being treated by this operation, and how is the surgery performed?
In what way is the surgery expected to help Sabrina?
What are the risks and benefits of the surgery? Compare these to the risks and benefits of an alternative treatment. If the decision were yours, which would you recommend? Explain your decision.
What was the cause of the apraxia?
What does the reduction in apraxia symptoms tell us about hemispheric specialization?

Describe the relationship between nature versus nurture.

 
Childcare class paper
watch the videos from McDowell and Pollack. The debate regarding nature versus nurture and how it impacts child development has been ongoing for centuries. This debate is concerned with the extent to which particular aspects of behavior are a product of either inherited (i.e. nature) or environmental (i.e. nurture) characteristics. Throughout history, researchers have often envisioned nature and nurture as separate and opposing influences. Today, developmental theorists increasingly agree that nature and nurture are interdependent, working dynamically together, in child development (McDevitt, 2010). What is nature versus nurture?Watch the following videos:

There are more people in need of an organ transplant than there are donor organs, and as such, there is a long waiting list of patients waiting to receive their transplant. What are the factors that will establish a patients order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention?

There are more people in need of an organ transplant than there are donor organs, and as such, there is a long waiting list of patients waiting to receive their transplant. What are the factors that will establish a patient’s order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention? What happens if a patient exaggerates his or her condition in order to receive preferential treatment on the list?

Some of these patients will die before they receive the organ that could save their life. A waiting list is used to maintain the allocation of donor organs to patients.
For this module’s assignment, design your own 1-2 page organ transplant waiting list criteria. Some points to consider include the following: What are the factors that will establish a patient’s order on the list? How would you ensure that the most urgent cases receive proper attention? What happens if a patient exaggerates his or her condition in order to receive preferential treatment on the list?

3-2 House Closing       
You’ve entered into a contract to purchase a new house, and the closing is scheduled for next week. It’s typical for some last-minute bargaining to occur at the closing table, where sellers often try to tack on extra fees. You have three options for the closing: (1) attend yourself, (2) send an attorney authorized to close only per the previously negotiated terms, or (3) pre-sign all the closing documents per the current terms and not attend the closing. Consider each bargaining position; which position would you go with and why?
