Genetic mutations

/in /by

Recall that evolution is a change in allelic frequencies in a population.  For billions of years, species have evolved by natural selection, the process by which genetic mutations that help an organism survive are passed on from one generation to the next, and harmful ones are eliminated.

Millions of years ago, the natural environment was shaping us into the species we are now. Today, we create our own environments.  We’ve turned the notion of natural selection on its head. Nature isn’t the only force that picks the genes that stick around — we’re doing it too. Thanks to modern medicine and technology, we survive conditions or diseases that we would have succumbed to in the past.  We’re moving toward a time when we can routinely repair, remove or insert genes in people.

What do you think?  Have we reached the “pinnacle” of human evolution?  Or will our environment yet produce more changes in our genome?  What do think/hope those changes might be?

Social stratification

/in /by

This week’s readings and videos use archaeological and ethnographic evidence to explore how feasting relates to community organization and social stratification. Authors consider how people engage economically, politically, and socially through conspicuous consumption and competitive feasting.

For this week’s post, consider one of your own feasting or party experiences. Identify a theme that you would like to explore from this week’s readings. Write about your feast or party with respect to that theme, incorporating at least two of this week’s readings in substantive ways. Please write at least 3 juicy paragraphs on your chosen topic.

What would count as a ‘theme’ from this week’s readings? Themes could include, for example, competitive feasting, conspicuous consumption, the use of food to create alliances and social networks, the role of feasts in redistributing resources, the importance of feasts to celebrate life-cycle issues and holidays, or the role of eating in displaying social status. Students are welcome to find and discuss other themes, too.

Healthcare-related task

/in /by

For this assignment, it is very important that you think of absolutely every data element connected with the task you choose. It is most important that the solutions presented by you, be logical and complete enough to perform the tasks chosen. For example, a laboratory blood test without a patient identifier would be incomplete.

Utilizing information found in Chapter 6, you are to:

  1. Choose a healthcare-related task, such as patient registration or medication administration, or laboratory blood test. It should be a very specific task, not very broad such as an inpatient stay.

 

  1. Then determine the data elements which would need to be collected and stored for the task.  –  10 points  (Look at your process and then look at the data dictionary example found on page 199 to determine the data elements that you would need to capture)

 

  1. Develop a data dictionary for the data elements. – 15 points (read over the data dictionary information on page 197 and review the example on page 199)

 

  1. Decide which type of database you are going to use for the task. – 5 points (review types of databases starting on page 187)

 

  1. Next, choose database software for the task. – 10 points (choices are found on page 198)

 

  1. Finally, document a context-level data flow diagram and a Diagram 0 data flow diagram. – 10 points  (examples of these are found on pages 203 and 204)

 

Glomerulation

PREOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Interstitial cystitis. 2. Urethral stenosis. POSTOPERATIVE DIAGNOSES: 1. Interstitial cystitis. 2. Urethral stenosis. Procedures: 1. Cystoscopy. 2. Urethral dilation and hydrosilation. Description of Procedure: Urethra was tight at 26-French and dilated at 32-French. The bladder neck is normal. The ureteral orifice is normal size, shape, and position, effluxing clear bilaterally. The bladder mucosa is normal. Bladder capacity is 700 mL under anesthesia. There is moderate glomerulation consistent with interstitial cystitis at the end of hydrosilation. Residual urine was 150 mL. The patient was brought to the cystoscopy suite and placed on the table in the lithotomy position. The patient was prepped and draped in the usual sterile fashion. A 21 Olympus cystoscope was inserted and the bladder was viewed with 12- and 70-degree lenses. The bladder was filled by gravity to capacity, emptied, and again cystoscopy was performed with the findings as above. Urethra was then calibrated with 32-French. The patient was taken to the recovery room in stable condition
