Biostatistics In Biomedical Research

This would help inform decision making clinically. Nevertheless, the journals or article must have a realistic research question (s) and objectives that would determine the appropriate research design. The study is a randomised control trial (RCT) quantitative study conducted by Rose et al. (2005) with the sole aim of determining the effectiveness of topical chloramphenicol for children presenting with acute infective conjunctivitis in a primary care sector, United Kingdom (UK). Bowling (2009) defines RCT as an experimental method for the evaluation of the effectiveness of health services and interventions in relation to specific conditions.

The Biopsychosocial model (Suls & Rothman, 2004) is one of the earliest multi-dimensional models of the health field. This model demonstrates the interaction between biological and social factors in regard to disease analysis. It displays levels above and below a person arranged from global systems at the top and genetic systems at the bottom. In the Social and Behavioral Foundations of Public Health, Coreil (2010) describes how the biopsychosocial is more concerned with the biological systems within the human body and pays greater attention to this interplay. In the case study, Cockerham (2013) details how social conditions act as the ultimate causes of diabetes and diabetes related fatalities in the community of East Harlem.

The results of these studies strengthened the author’s belief that the community benefits from the implementation of this public health program. The author is currently a pediatric cardiothoracic operating room nurse and is knowledgeable on the complications and mortality due to the late detection and delayed surgical treatment of CCHD in newborns. The author believes that changes in normal newborn screening routine is beneficial and should be implemented in nationwide. The author will use her analytic philosophy to conduct more studies that will yield new recommendations to improve patient outcomes. Moreover, the author plans to evaluate multiple evidenced-based practices that are being implemented in her facility and publish articles in the

As our world becomes increasingly technologically advanced, biotechnology plays an increasing important aspect of our lives. Many contemporary uses of biotechnology raise ethical considerations, regarding their safety, reliability and moral concerns. The Human Genome Project gave us the ability to identify and map the complete genetic blueprint of a human. It was the world’s largest collaborative biological project and determined the sequence of chemical base pairs, including multiple variations of each gene in the human body.

Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine are an interdisciplinary field that aims to maintain, repair or improve tissue functions that are defective or lost by Disease, injury and trauma, either by developing biological substitutes or by reconstructing tissues. Tissue autografting and allografting are commonly approaches that have used for replacing damaged or diseased tissue. Nevertheless, these approaches have faced with several drawbacks. Tissue engineering involves three key factors: scaffold, signaling molecules and cell culture. The development of scaffolds are the main areas of biomaterials research, and they play a pivotal role in tissue regeneration and repair.

One of the focuses of this semester was the ability to identify biological processes that require energy and explain why they require energy. In the work I completed I demonstrated being able to accomplish this. This occurred in several different projects, including the cellular respiration lab involving the respiration rate of germinating seeds, the potato core lab and the photosynthesis lab. In these labs, we were able to identify the biological processes that required energy for the different processes to take place to allow germination to occur.

Retributive theory is also looked and examined at and shows that United States penal system does not fit into the goals of

They have a wide variety of fields, including medicine, pathology, surgery, nuclear medicine, and radiation therapy. It have been identified that oral cavity squamous cell carcinoma contains cancer stem cells. Cancer stem cells have the ability for proliferation and perpetual self-renewal, producing downstream

Vaccinations may create substantial evidence as to why vaccinations should not be given, but vaccinating children still trumps all. When a child is vaccinated, it provides a better environment for everyone in the future, those around us, and the risk that is present now. By getting vaccinations, all the ‘what-ifs’ surrounding life-threatening diseases are diminished. According to statistics, vaccinations are said to “avert 2 and 3 million deaths each year” (Immunization). If a terrible disease has the opportunity to be stopped, why not stop it?

Personalized medicine is the study and practice of combining genetic information with clinical data in order to adjust the dosage of medicine to an individual’s special needs. Lawrence Lesko states “Personalized medicine can be viewed as a comprehensive, prospective approach to preventing, diagnosing, treating, and monitoring diseases

Genomic Recombination and Deletions in Acinetobactor baylyi ADP1 Shivani Patel Fall 2015 BIO 493 Introduction: Gene duplication and amplification is a process by which genetic diversity can be created and selected for. Through the understanding of gene duplication and amplification, scientists can garner insight on medical conditions associated with this phenomenon (Seaton et al. 2012). Not only can gene duplication and amplification increase genetic diversity, it can also increase the fitness of bacteria by allowing an increased production of essential nutrients or a gene to gain a new function (Dhar et al. 2014). However, gene amplification is not the only large genome change that can occur in organisms.

Consequently, Milgram had taken the opposite approach, while his experiment did use pain to see if the learner would obey the teacher more. “When the destructive effects of their work became patently clear, and they are asked to carry out actions incompatible with fundamental standards of morality, relatively few people have the resources needed to resist authority” (Milgram 587). The participants knew that these actions were not in their best interest but still decided to obey. It can be argued that more experiments may be taken on in the near future that will appear ethical to the public eye. Both Milgram and Zimbardo can agree that they were in shock from their findings.

improving quality of American health care system and curbing the care costs, at the moment numerous ways of restructuring care supply are being evaluated by CMS. Accompanying Medicare shared savings program, initiatives like Advanced Payment Incentive and Pioneer ACO demonstrations are being commenced. Other global health service organizations such as Cigna, Aetna and Anthem are also supporting this health reform model and endeavoring to improve health service system by acquiring health service providers to raise the level and quality of care supply. As well as this kind of health insurance companies provide other incentives to healthily systematized care provider

Define the following terms and provide an example of each: IN YOUR OWN WORDS Succession: Succession is a process where changes are made to the base of a biological community over a period of time. Primary Succession: Primary Succession is a progression in vegetation that happens in a barren landscape with no initial soil. EX: Soil developing on a newly formed island. Secondary Succession: Secondary Succession is the recovery of vegetation post natural disaster.

The Energy Flow of Savanna Biome There are many factors that are used in defining a biome. These factors define the organisms that live in the biome and how they adapt to survive in the biome. How these organisms adapt affects how the energy flows within an ecosystem. It is located in many countries, South America, Africa, Asia, Asia, and North Western Australia, mainly located on the edge of tropical rainforests. The biotic and abiotic factors, the geography, the issues that it faces, and the organisms of the savanna biome all affect how the energy flows within the biome.
