The problem is clearly stated with adequate background information; there is justification for the study, 115 patients infected with Hepatitis C through reuse of contaminated vials. This problem is very significant to nursing in that there is unsafe medication handling involved. This problem is researchable and opens the gate for change to be implemented. C. Conceptual/Theoretical Framework D. Review of Literature Government reports have urged open reporting of concerns about the quality and safety of patient care. Underreporting of quality problems and adverse events are common.
Also, Amgen encouraged doctors to switch Medicare and Medicaid patients to Aranesp, then bill Medicare and Medicaid for Aranesp. These practices went on while Aranesp was available to public healthcare plans for free. Amgen illegally offered doctors cash, exotic vacations, and performance-based rebates to engage in these fraudulent activities to increase sales. (Admin, n.d.) Shawn O’Brien was a senior project manager who was hired to improve the company compliance process with FDA reporting. O’Brien determined the inconsistency and lack of reporting complaints about the drug to the FDA.
Nick is crossing his true-breeding, badger faced ewe with Chris’ true-breeding, solid face ram. What type of lambs can Nick and Chris expect? Parents: ____________X____________ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Genotypes: ___________: /4 or _______ % , __________: /4 or _______ %, ___________: /4 or _______ % Phenotypes: __________________: /4 or ________ %, __________________: /4 or ________ % 2. Alexis has a ewe that has one allele for badger face and one allele for solid face. She wants to breed it with Simone’s ram that has one allele for badger face and one allele for solid face.
Gene therapy - One of the most promising treatments on the horizon for ALD is gene therapy - This involves temporarily removing the appropriate cells from the person with ALD, inserting the corrected genetic sequence with the appropriate blueprints into these cells and putting them back into the patient. The repaired cells will then produce the protein that had been missing or defective prior to treatment, and the disease process will halt or moderately reverse. Mesenchymal Stem Cell Therapy - Scientists at St. Jude’s Hospital, the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Tulane University School of Medicine, and leading institutions in Germany are also studying the use of mesenchymal stem cells in treating ALD. These cells are multipotent precursor cells that can differentiate into many different types of cells. Cultured from adults’ bone marrow, they may have promise in treating ALD when delivered directly into the blood and brains of people with the
After improved understanding of the causes of disease there was understanding that you could cure a disease. Behring used this and Koch’s work to isolate anti toxins that would otherwise ,harm the body, to fight Diphtheria, Behring then found a way to inject it. Paul Ehrlich ( a member of Koch’s team) used his team to build on this work , he knew that certain dyes stained specific microbes (Koch’s work) furthermore with Behring’s work Paul tres to find a cure for syphillis a “magic bullet” that would only target the microbes and not the body. He managed to research seven years which was only made possible because of government funds. In 1909 Dr Hata had joined the research team and he reviewed the previous experiments.
COW’S EYE dissection Here’s what you need: - One cow’s eye for every two participants - One single-edged razor blade or scalpel for every two participants - Scissors (optional) - Wax paper and paper towels - Plastic garbage bag - A cutting board or other surface on which you can cut - A sheet of newspaper - Soap, water, and paper towels for cleaning up page 2 Here’s where to get cows’ eyes: You can order cows’ eyes at a butcher shop or purchase them directly from a slaughterhouse. Try to get eyes with the muscles and fat still attached. If possible pick up the cows’ eyes
“Calories are calories…protein is protein,” as stated by Michael Pollen in his book, The Omnivores Dilemma, when discussing the industrial logic many factory farms associate with feeding cattle corn and rendered cow parts (Pollen, 2006, p.75). This is true at a molecular level; however, there are unwanted substances in corn fed beef. For example, there is an increased amount of saturated fat. “A growing body of research suggests that many of the health problems associated with eating beef are really problems with corn-fed beef” (Pollen p. 75). Adding in additional substances to the cows corn diet, such as remnant cow parts, has led to e-coli out breaks in humans and continued to spread mad cow disease.
Compiled from a variety of sources by Evynn Blaher, C.D. Hylton High School, Woodbridge, VA. POSSIBLE RESEARCH TOPICS Your research paper, and the resulting thesis statement, must be an ARGUABLE issue. Be prepared to present the actual findings of your research convincingly even if you discover that your findings differ from your personal opinions. Remember, research is objective and not a “soap box” for personal views. The following topics have been divided by subject: BIOETHICAL ISSUES Withholding the truth from dying patients Physician-assisted suicide Limits to confidentiality Involuntary commitment Organ donation Access to experimental drugs for dying patients CRIME AND CRIMINOLOGY Is criminal
It is ethical to try and save thousand of lives by recycling stem cells, just as the process of organs being used when someone passes. Why would we waste a heart and discard it when there are thousands of Americans who are living with a bad heart. Embryonic stem cells have the ability to change someone’s life for the better as well as our country by being the first to find a cure to diseases such as the ones I stated above. We must make scarifies to advance medically. President Obama passed a bill when he was elected in office that allows government funding for embryonic stem cell research.
Opportunity Cost The ongoing disputes regarding the misallocation of the current organ supply in the United States have taken the attention away from the main issue, which is organ shortage. The policy that yields this life taking controversy has been in place since the kidney transplants first became feasible in the mid-1950s (Tabarrok 90). This tragic policy was then made into a law by United States senator Albert Gore with the passage of the National Organ Transplant Act of 1984 (Sandford, Rocchiccioli 276). This act makes the purchase or sell of human organs, even cadaveric organs, making it a felony (Tabarrok 90). As a result of our current policy miserably failing to address the organ shortage twelve people die each day
