After reading chapter 4, evaluate the history of the Data Encryp.docx
DES was once the standard for encryption but has since been replaced due to advances in computing power allowing for brute force attacks to break the encryption. The history of DES and its replacement demonstrates how cryptography must continually evolve to stay ahead of increasing computational abilities by enhancing encryption algorithms and key lengths.

ABSTRACT
Managing IT security and assurance is a top priority for organizations. Aware of the costs associated with a security or privacy
breach, organizations are constantly vigilant about protecting their data and IT systems. In addition, organizations are
investing heavily in IT resources to keep up with the challenges of managing their IT security and assurance. Therefore, the IT
industry relies greatly on the U.S. higher education system to produce a qualified and competent workforce to manage security
challenges. This advisory discusses some security challenges faced by global companies and provides input into the design
and delivery of IS curriculum to effectively meet such challenges.
Keywords: Information assurance and security, Curriculum design and development, Computer security
1. INTRODUCTION
Information security and assurance management is vital for
the success of organizations. It is particularly relevant for
global companies whose customers demand a high level of
security for their products. Meeting such high expectations
requires companies to study security best practices,
continually invest in technical and human resources, and
implement a secure corporate environment. The goal of this
paper is to discuss some security challenges faced by global
organizations and to provide suggestions to IS academics
concerning security curriculum to effectively educate the
next generation IT workforce to meet these challenges.
2. SECURITY CHALLENGES FACED BY GLOBAL
COMPANIES
This advisory focuses on security challenges faced by global
companies. For instance, security challenges faced by a
multinational company operating manufacturing plants in
several countries are likely to be much different than those of
a company with a manufacturing plant in a single location.
The goal of this section is to present some security
challenges faced by global companies.
What many companies do in terms of security is driven
by the needs of their customers. For instance, consider the
case of a global manufacturing company that makes
hardware for a smart card. Smart cards include embedded
integrated circuits and customers generally provide the
manufacturer with a detailed list of functional and assurance
requirements for security. The manufacturer of the hardware
is expected to comply with the specifications of the
customer. If the company decides to manufacture in two
plants in Europe and the U.S., it becomes important for the
manufacturer to have uniform security standards in both
plants. These security standards may include many aspects

African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate .docx
African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate cancer than the white men. In every six individuals from this ethnic group, there is one who is at risk of developing prostate cancer in their lifetime. African Americans are 1.8 times more exposed to the risk of developing the disease and 2.2 times more likely succumb from this disease as compared to white men. The increase in the higher risk of prostate cancer among Africa Americans is linked to socioeconomic status. There is a lower socioeconomic status of African Americans and this exposing to high cases of prostate cancer as a result of poor medical check-up and poor healthcare outcomes (Owens et al., 2014).
There are also racial biases and this is harming African Americans in terms of preventive care since they have lower chances of being provided with the PSA test. Recent studies reveal that men from this ethnic group are unlikely to have early diagnosis for the prostate cancer. They are also not likely to be treated in time for the disease like the white men. There are several treatment options and learning sources about the options for prostate cancer. Therefore, the evidence-based, primary care health promotion recommendation to deal with prostate cancer among African Americans involves the prevention programs that are tailored to African Americans to help in the reduction of health disparities (Jackson, Owens, Friedman, & Dubose-Morris, 2015).
There is a need to incorporate culturally suitable and targeted messages and the images, the performance of faith-based initiatives, and the delivery of the educational programs in non-traditional venues for example the common place where people gather. It is also important to include key partners and the stakeholder in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the health and the cancer educational programs to help in the improvement of the health of the community and supporting community engagement. The development of the IDM education program for African American families through working with the community and the clinical partners is helping in the reduction of prostate cancer diseases (Jackson et al., 2015).

A 16-year-old boy presented to the clinic with symptoms of strep throat including a sore throat for 3 days. On examination, he exhibited signs of strep throat including tonsil swelling and exudate. A rapid strep test was positive, confirming strep throat. He was prescribed penicillin but had an anaphylactic reaction. This type of severe allergic reaction is caused by IgE antibodies produced in response to environmental allergens like penicillin, which is a fungus. While he had no known drug allergies, he likely had a previous sensitization to penicillin that caused the anaphylactic reaction upon administration.

An Evidence-Based Guide for Implementation
by
Dr. Steven Deck
COPYRIGHT © Steven Deck, 2017
Biography
Dr. Steven Deck has over 25 years of experience developing and
implementing risk management, environmental health and safety,
international safety and security, emergency response, and continuity of
operation programs and processes in higher education and in biomedical and
pharmaceutical industries. Dr. Deck has also lead efforts to identify and treat
risks associated with implementing a strategic plan at a large research
university. Hence, he has experience managing risks at both the operational
and strategic level. He holds a doctorate in management, an MBA, and a
bachelor’s degree in safety and industrial hygiene management. Dr. Deck
also holds an associate in risk management and is a certified industrial
hygienist, safety professional, and hazardous materials manager.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the people who tirelessly work to reduce
risks organizations face in today’s fast-paced world. Their efforts sometimes
go unnoticed since, if successful, risk managers prevent adverse events from
occurring or significantly reduce their impact on the organization. A good
day for a risk manager is one that is uneventful with operations continuing
without interruption. However, their work is critical to an organization’s
ability to achieve its mission. By reducing risks that threaten an
organization’s survival, risk managers preserve the organization’s ability to
offer people opportunities to earn a living and provide for their families.
Indeed, a risk manager role is critical to the success of society even if their
work sometimes goes unnoticed.

AdultGeriatric DepressionIntroduction According to Mace.docx
Adult/Geriatric Depression
Introduction
According to Mace et al. (2017), geriatric depression disorder is a health condition that affects adult people with the main symptoms see for a patient with the condition being the frequent change in moods and the sadness. The condition is as well common among younger people although this is not a common health issue. As a result of the impact of the condition, there is a need for getting an understanding of the condition and the best medical process that is to be followed. With the treatment of the patients there is a need for understanding the fact that if one medication does not succeed, there is a need for implementation of a new medication or change of the prescription for the patient. This paper focuses on the options chosen for managing the conditions for a patient.
Symptoms of adult/geriatric depression disorder
A patient with geriatric depression disorder will be seen to have issues of mood swings as the main symptoms of the condition. The other symptoms that will be evident will include issues of the feeling of despair and sad and the patient will have issues of pain and aches in all parts of the body. Laird et al. (2019) allude that a patient with the health condition will have risks of loss of appetite and lack of hope or lacking any willingness to get help. There are risks of the patient as well as lacking any morale in improving their condition.
Causes
Vlasova et al. (2019) allude that one of the main risk factors that increased the chance of a patient getting geriatric depression is old age. As such, a patient who is old will be at high risk of being affected by the health condition. The other risk factor is that women are at higher risk of suffering from the health issue as compared to their male counterparts. The people who have a low-level education as well as those that have physical illnesses and influencing the standard of thinking of the person.
Thus, there is a need for healthcare providers to help in the education of the patients who are at risk of suffering from the health condition. The patients who are found to be making use of various drugs and that have psychological stressors are at high risk of being affected by the health concern. The patients as well may lead to affecting the patients who have white matter changes.
Patient case
This is a case of 32-year-old patients of Hispanic origin and who came to the US for his education. The patient has his mother passing on while he was in school and ended up being admitted to the healthcare facility as a result of depression issues. On having an assessment, it is found that the patient does not suffer from any other health issue and the patient has presented that he has had pain and stiff parts of the body.
There are various signs and symptoms expressed by the patient with the main issue faced by the patient being undermined as a result of the color of his skin. There is evidence of the patient having little socializa.
Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelinesOverviewThe purpose of this.docx
Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Chandler Corp: Choosing the Right Costing Method to Evaluate New Products
Paulette A. Ratliff-Miller
Associate Professor
Grand Valley State University
INTRODUCTION
Over many years, Chandler Corporation has become a profitable business by making
awnings, pavilions, and other types of shade shelters. Most of the customers are
municipalities looking for shelters for state parks or school districts that want covered
walkways for students. Every job is custom, because each customer has different
needs, and each location has different features. Chandler makes products when it
receives an order; it does not produce products for inventory. While a customer might
order multiple units for its site, the durability of the products means that the customer
will not have to reorder replacements for decades.
So, when Ned Beale, the vice president of Sales and Marketing at Chandler, received
a call from a swimming pool retailer in Florida that wanted a continuous supply of
identical shelters, he was excited about the potential sales but a bit unsure as to
whether Chandler could handle the order. The previous week he had gotten a similar
call from a landscaping company inquiring about lattice-covered trellises the company
wanted to incorporate into its landscape designs. He immediately texted Dan Smith, the
CFO of Chandler, requesting a meeting to discuss whether to accept the new orders.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Chandler Corporation, located in Chandler, Arizona, has been in the business of
manufacturing fixed outdoor shade shelters for more than 30 years. Its customers are
often public agencies (for example, city planners, schools, public parks, and so on), but
they sometimes are landscape architects and designers who are developing outdoor
areas for private customers (such as businesses, daycare centers, homes, and so on).
The products are produced in a wide variety of configurations, including amphitheaters,
pavilions, gazebos, trellises, transit shelters, walkway covers, dugout/bleacher covers,
and fabric shade structures. These are all engineered to the customer’s specification
and are quick to install, which minimizes building time and disruption. Chandler provides
a complete turnkey service from concept to completion with custom products for each
site. The primary value driver is a quality design that can be easily installed on site.
PRODUCTS
Chandler specializes in shelters with tubular metal frames. Because of state and local
building codes and site-specific constraints, Chandler’s products are custom engineered
and made for each location. A typical structure includes a steel frame, roofing, and other
decorative and functional options. The frame consists of columns and supports for the
roof, which can be painted in any color. Columns vary from simple designs, which use
uprights consisting of one rect.
Acute sinusitis affects millions of persons in the United States e.docx
Acute sinusitis affects millions of persons in the United States every year and is among the most common reasons for physician visits, prompting over 3 million visits annually. Patients with sinusitis present with congestion and blockage of the nasal passages, usually in response to viral infection or allergic rhinitis but occasionally to other stimuli. The paranasal sinuses become inflamed, and mucus cannot drain properly, providing an environment where bacteria, or rarely fungus, can thrive. Suggestive symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) include nasal congestion and obstruction, purulent nasal discharge, maxillary tooth discomfort, and facial pain or pressure that is worse or localized to the sinuses when bending forward. Other signs and symptoms include fever, fatigue, cough, hyposmia or anosmia, ear pressure or fullness, headache, and halitosis. Patients may also have signs and symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (e.g., ear pain, fullness or pressure, hearing loss, or tinnitus) (Patel & hwang, 2019). Sinus cavity opacity on transillumination suggests sinusitis. Facial tenderness to palpation or percussion may be present and most easily appreciated over the frontal or maxillary sinuses. Diagnosis of acute cases of sinusitis is usually established clinically. However, imaging or endoscopy should be considered if symptoms fail to improve within 7 days of diagnosis or worsen during the initial management of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Laboratory tests: to determine underlying condition if suspected (e.g., nasal cytology allergic rhinitis, HIV test, sweat chloride test for cystic fibrosis). Imaging include X-ray of sinuses (poor sensitivity): decreased transparency of sinus, air-fluid levels may be seen; CT of sinuses (imaging modality of choice) may show soft tissue swelling, mucoperiosteal thickening, and air-fluid levels, bony erosions and extension in cases of invasive mucormycosis infection and fungus balls in the case of chronic aspergillosis infection. MRI may be considered to confirm soft tissue extension in invasive disease. Nasal endoscopy may reveal mucosal erythema and edema, with sinus ostia and nasal passages blocked by discharge, necrotic mucosa in the case of invasive mucormycosis infection. Biopsy and culture may be performed (hyphae in fungal disease, eosinophils in allergic sinusitis) (Bickley, Szilagyi, & Hoffman, 2017).
The differential diagnoses of sinusitis include allergic rhinitis and migraine. Allergic rhinitis differentiating signs and symptoms include ocular and/or nasal pruritus, sneezing, rhinorrhea, headache, purulent discharge, and facial pain/pressure are less common. Differentiating test include allergen skin-prick testing: wheal and flare reaction after specific allergen is introduced into the skin is 3 mm larger than negative (saline) control. In vitro-specific IgE determination: specific allergen response. Migraine differentiating signs and symptoms include reports a history of "recurrent sinus.

African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate .docx
African Americans men are at a greater risk for developing prostate cancer than the white men. In every six individuals from this ethnic group, there is one who is at risk of developing prostate cancer in their lifetime. African Americans are 1.8 times more exposed to the risk of developing the disease and 2.2 times more likely succumb from this disease as compared to white men. The increase in the higher risk of prostate cancer among Africa Americans is linked to socioeconomic status. There is a lower socioeconomic status of African Americans and this exposing to high cases of prostate cancer as a result of poor medical check-up and poor healthcare outcomes (Owens et al., 2014).
There are also racial biases and this is harming African Americans in terms of preventive care since they have lower chances of being provided with the PSA test. Recent studies reveal that men from this ethnic group are unlikely to have early diagnosis for the prostate cancer. They are also not likely to be treated in time for the disease like the white men. There are several treatment options and learning sources about the options for prostate cancer. Therefore, the evidence-based, primary care health promotion recommendation to deal with prostate cancer among African Americans involves the prevention programs that are tailored to African Americans to help in the reduction of health disparities (Jackson, Owens, Friedman, & Dubose-Morris, 2015).
There is a need to incorporate culturally suitable and targeted messages and the images, the performance of faith-based initiatives, and the delivery of the educational programs in non-traditional venues for example the common place where people gather. It is also important to include key partners and the stakeholder in the planning, implementation, and assessment of the health and the cancer educational programs to help in the improvement of the health of the community and supporting community engagement. The development of the IDM education program for African American families through working with the community and the clinical partners is helping in the reduction of prostate cancer diseases (Jackson et al., 2015).

Biography
Dr. Steven Deck has over 25 years of experience developing and
implementing risk management, environmental health and safety,
international safety and security, emergency response, and continuity of
operation programs and processes in higher education and in biomedical and
pharmaceutical industries. Dr. Deck has also lead efforts to identify and treat
risks associated with implementing a strategic plan at a large research
university. Hence, he has experience managing risks at both the operational
and strategic level. He holds a doctorate in management, an MBA, and a
bachelor’s degree in safety and industrial hygiene management. Dr. Deck
also holds an associate in risk management and is a certified industrial
hygienist, safety professional, and hazardous materials manager.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the people who tirelessly work to reduce
risks organizations face in today’s fast-paced world. Their efforts sometimes
go unnoticed since, if successful, risk managers prevent adverse events from
occurring or significantly reduce their impact on the organization. A good
day for a risk manager is one that is uneventful with operations continuing
without interruption. However, their work is critical to an organization’s
ability to achieve its mission. By reducing risks that threaten an
organization’s survival, risk managers preserve the organization’s ability to
offer people opportunities to earn a living and provide for their families.
Indeed, a risk manager role is critical to the success of society even if their
work sometimes goes unnoticed.

AdultGeriatric DepressionIntroduction According to Mace.docx
Adult/Geriatric Depression
Introduction
According to Mace et al. (2017), geriatric depression disorder is a health condition that affects adult people with the main symptoms see for a patient with the condition being the frequent change in moods and the sadness. The condition is as well common among younger people although this is not a common health issue. As a result of the impact of the condition, there is a need for getting an understanding of the condition and the best medical process that is to be followed. With the treatment of the patients there is a need for understanding the fact that if one medication does not succeed, there is a need for implementation of a new medication or change of the prescription for the patient. This paper focuses on the options chosen for managing the conditions for a patient.
Symptoms of adult/geriatric depression disorder
A patient with geriatric depression disorder will be seen to have issues of mood swings as the main symptoms of the condition. The other symptoms that will be evident will include issues of the feeling of despair and sad and the patient will have issues of pain and aches in all parts of the body. Laird et al. (2019) allude that a patient with the health condition will have risks of loss of appetite and lack of hope or lacking any willingness to get help. There are risks of the patient as well as lacking any morale in improving their condition.
Causes
Vlasova et al. (2019) allude that one of the main risk factors that increased the chance of a patient getting geriatric depression is old age. As such, a patient who is old will be at high risk of being affected by the health condition. The other risk factor is that women are at higher risk of suffering from the health issue as compared to their male counterparts. The people who have a low-level education as well as those that have physical illnesses and influencing the standard of thinking of the person.
Thus, there is a need for healthcare providers to help in the education of the patients who are at risk of suffering from the health condition. The patients who are found to be making use of various drugs and that have psychological stressors are at high risk of being affected by the health concern. The patients as well may lead to affecting the patients who have white matter changes.
Patient case
This is a case of 32-year-old patients of Hispanic origin and who came to the US for his education. The patient has his mother passing on while he was in school and ended up being admitted to the healthcare facility as a result of depression issues. On having an assessment, it is found that the patient does not suffer from any other health issue and the patient has presented that he has had pain and stiff parts of the body.
There are various signs and symptoms expressed by the patient with the main issue faced by the patient being undermined as a result of the color of his skin. There is evidence of the patient having little socializa.
Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelinesOverviewThe purpose of this.docx
Adopt-a-Plant Project guidelines
Overview:
The purpose of this project is for you to choose a plant, conduct online research into the biology of the plant, and communicate what you have learned. You will be preparing an annotated bibliography on the plant you choose. The entire project is worth 50 points
Annotated Bibliography (50 points)
You will prepare an annotated bibliography with a list of the top 10 most interesting facts about your plant.
· Each fact should be paraphrased (i.e. written in your own words, no quotations allowed).
· Then tell me why this is interesting to you – make connections to your life or to currents issues in our world.
· Finally, give a full citation and tell me why you think this is a reliable, trustworthy source. Use this libguide to help you come up with reasons why your source is trustworthy.
· At least one of your sources should be from a peer-reviewed, science journal article.
Here is an example:
Fact 1: Taxol is a chemotherapy agent derived from the bark of the Pacific Yew Tree. The chemical itself is derived from a fungal endophtye within the bark. I thought this was very interesting, because the Pacific Yew tree is native to the state of Washington, and my aunt Jane received Taxol while undergoing chemotherapy for ovarian cancer. I also thought it was interesting because of the mutualistic relationship between the plant and the fungus.Citation: Plant natural products from cultured multipotent cells
Roberts, Susan; Kolewe, Martin. Nature Biotechnology28.11 (Nov 2010): 1175-6.
This is a reliable source because it is published in a peer-reviewed science journal article, written by two PhDs that are providing a review of the current literature on the topic
To complete the assignment, you should first choose a plant, gather articles discussing your plant, read the articles sufficiently enough to discuss the plant, and finally write the annotated bibliography. You are expected to produce original work, and any plagiarism will receive a zero. The paper should be double-spaced, and typed in 12 point font size, with normal margins. The instructions for how to properly cite your sources are at the end of this handout.
*** Reminder: The scientific name of a plant should always be typed in italics, with the first letter of the Genus capitalized. For ex.: Digitalis lanata. When you search for information on your plant online, make sure to use the scientific name, which will bring back a wider variety of results
The bibliography is worth 50 points and will be graded on:
1. Effort
• Quality of references
•Depth/breadth/quality of material covered
2. Following directions/ requirements
I will use the following rubric to grade your bibliography:
Research, Critical Reading and Documentation
Balanced, authoritative sources; correctly cited sources; effectively integrated outside sources. Most sources from science journals
10 pts
Effective sources, correctly cited, Could have a few more.

Chandler Corp: Choosing the Right Costing Method to Evaluate New Products
Paulette A. Ratliff-Miller
Associate Professor
Grand Valley State University
INTRODUCTION
Over many years, Chandler Corporation has become a profitable business by making
awnings, pavilions, and other types of shade shelters. Most of the customers are
municipalities looking for shelters for state parks or school districts that want covered
walkways for students. Every job is custom, because each customer has different
needs, and each location has different features. Chandler makes products when it
receives an order; it does not produce products for inventory. While a customer might
order multiple units for its site, the durability of the products means that the customer
will not have to reorder replacements for decades.
So, when Ned Beale, the vice president of Sales and Marketing at Chandler, received
a call from a swimming pool retailer in Florida that wanted a continuous supply of
identical shelters, he was excited about the potential sales but a bit unsure as to
whether Chandler could handle the order. The previous week he had gotten a similar
call from a landscaping company inquiring about lattice-covered trellises the company
wanted to incorporate into its landscape designs. He immediately texted Dan Smith, the
CFO of Chandler, requesting a meeting to discuss whether to accept the new orders.
COMPANY BACKGROUND
Chandler Corporation, located in Chandler, Arizona, has been in the business of
manufacturing fixed outdoor shade shelters for more than 30 years. Its customers are
often public agencies (for example, city planners, schools, public parks, and so on), but
they sometimes are landscape architects and designers who are developing outdoor
areas for private customers (such as businesses, daycare centers, homes, and so on).
The products are produced in a wide variety of configurations, including amphitheaters,
pavilions, gazebos, trellises, transit shelters, walkway covers, dugout/bleacher covers,
and fabric shade structures. These are all engineered to the customer’s specification
and are quick to install, which minimizes building time and disruption. Chandler provides
a complete turnkey service from concept to completion with custom products for each
site. The primary value driver is a quality design that can be easily installed on site.
PRODUCTS
Chandler specializes in shelters with tubular metal frames. Because of state and local
building codes and site-specific constraints, Chandler’s products are custom engineered
and made for each location. A typical structure includes a steel frame, roofing, and other
decorative and functional options. The frame consists of columns and supports for the
roof, which can be painted in any color. Columns vary from simple designs, which use
uprights consisting of one rect.
Acute sinusitis affects millions of persons in the United States e.docx
Acute sinusitis affects millions of persons in the United States every year and is among the most common reasons for physician visits, prompting over 3 million visits annually. Patients with sinusitis present with congestion and blockage of the nasal passages, usually in response to viral infection or allergic rhinitis but occasionally to other stimuli. The paranasal sinuses become inflamed, and mucus cannot drain properly, providing an environment where bacteria, or rarely fungus, can thrive. Suggestive symptoms of acute rhinosinusitis (ARS) include nasal congestion and obstruction, purulent nasal discharge, maxillary tooth discomfort, and facial pain or pressure that is worse or localized to the sinuses when bending forward. Other signs and symptoms include fever, fatigue, cough, hyposmia or anosmia, ear pressure or fullness, headache, and halitosis. Patients may also have signs and symptoms of eustachian tube dysfunction (e.g., ear pain, fullness or pressure, hearing loss, or tinnitus) (Patel & hwang, 2019). Sinus cavity opacity on transillumination suggests sinusitis. Facial tenderness to palpation or percussion may be present and most easily appreciated over the frontal or maxillary sinuses. Diagnosis of acute cases of sinusitis is usually established clinically. However, imaging or endoscopy should be considered if symptoms fail to improve within 7 days of diagnosis or worsen during the initial management of acute bacterial rhinosinusitis. Laboratory tests: to determine underlying condition if suspected (e.g., nasal cytology allergic rhinitis, HIV test, sweat chloride test for cystic fibrosis). Imaging include X-ray of sinuses (poor sensitivity): decreased transparency of sinus, air-fluid levels may be seen; CT of sinuses (imaging modality of choice) may show soft tissue swelling, mucoperiosteal thickening, and air-fluid levels, bony erosions and extension in cases of invasive mucormycosis infection and fungus balls in the case of chronic aspergillosis infection. MRI may be considered to confirm soft tissue extension in invasive disease. Nasal endoscopy may reveal mucosal erythema and edema, with sinus ostia and nasal passages blocked by discharge, necrotic mucosa in the case of invasive mucormycosis infection. Biopsy and culture may be performed (hyphae in fungal disease, eosinophils in allergic sinusitis) (Bickley, Szilagyi, & Hoffman, 2017).
The differential diagnoses of sinusitis include allergic rhinitis and migraine. Allergic rhinitis differentiating signs and symptoms include ocular and/or nasal pruritus, sneezing, rhinorrhea, headache, purulent discharge, and facial pain/pressure are less common. Differentiating test include allergen skin-prick testing: wheal and flare reaction after specific allergen is introduced into the skin is 3 mm larger than negative (saline) control. In vitro-specific IgE determination: specific allergen response. Migraine differentiating signs and symptoms include reports a history of "recurrent sinus.
