Application: Asthma Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To prepare: Review “Asthma” in Chapter 26 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different. Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro-oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide to construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To complete: Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected. Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation.

Asthma My Nursing Assignment.docx
Two young asthma patients died from acute exacerbations despite having what appeared to be mild symptoms. This highlights the importance of recognizing even minor asthma symptoms and providing immediate treatment, as symptoms can escalate rapidly. As an advanced practice nurse, it is crucial to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of both chronic asthma and acute exacerbations in order to properly diagnose, treat, and educate patients based on individual risk factors. A paper and two mind maps were assigned to illustrate this knowledge.

These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

Core clinical cases in psychiatry fergssuson, day, coomarasamy, arri
This book provides clinical case studies in psychiatry to help students learn diagnosis and treatment. Each case focuses on differential diagnosis, clinical features to confirm the diagnosis, factors contributing to the illness, and treatment options. Physical exams are less important for diagnosis in psychiatry than understanding the patient's subjective experiences and categorizing their symptoms. The cases cover common conditions students will encounter in practice and emphasize considering cultural and social factors that influence mental illness.

The document discusses the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders. It begins by noting that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness and outlines their prevalence. It then discusses challenges in diagnosis as classifications have evolved. The rest of the document focuses on biological and psychological factors involved in anxiety disorders, pharmacological treatments including SSRIs, SNRIs, and benzodiazepines, and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques.
Psychosomatic disorders
Psychosomatic disorders occur when psychological factors influence physical health and symptoms. They can develop when there is a biological predisposition, personality vulnerability, and significant psychosocial stress. Common psychosomatic disorders include asthma, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular problems. Psychological stress can exacerbate existing medical conditions like diabetes and cancer by changing behaviors or physiological responses. Treatments involve pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle modifications.

Introduction of Individual
In 1816, the author of such beloved books as "Emma" and "Pride and Prejudice" came down with a large group of puzzling diseases including fatigue, back pain, skin discoloration, "bilious attacks" and fever. Only one year later, she was dead at 41 years old. Much theory has been dedicated to Jane Austen's infection in the years since, with the most widely recognized diagnosis being that she had Addison's sickness, a malfunction of the adrenal organs that wasn't known to medicine until quite a while after her demise (White, 2009). Even though delayed in its onset, the confusion is known to cause changes in skin color during its late stages, which may clarify Austen's cases that her complexion had turned "black and white and every wrong color."
Identification of Pathophysiology
Mineralocorticoid deficiency
Sodium reabsorption and excretion of potassium from the body are stimulated by mineralocorticoids, whereby if mineralocorticoids are not produced, it leads to decreased production of potassium and increased excretion of sodium, primarily through sweat, urine, saliva and times in gastrointestinal tract. A high serum concentration of potassium and low sodium concentration may be detected as a result. Symptoms such as but not limited may result where there is high water loss and urinary salt: hypotension, decreased circulatory volume, acidosis, plasma hypertonicity, severe dehydration, and finally, circulatory collapse. Nevertheless, when adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) leads to adrenal inadequacy due to its low production, the circulatory problems are less severe, and the electrolyte levels are somewhat normal or mildly deranged (Bancos et al., 2015).
Glucocorticoid deficiency
Insufficiency of Glucocorticoid production leads to hypotension and severe insulin sensitivity as well as interferes with protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. From protein, carbohydrates are formed when there is inadequate production of cortisol, and also hypoglycemia and reduced liver glycogen result. As a result of neuromuscular function, the person feels weak. Circulatory failure may result due to myocardial weakness and dehydration because there is reduced cardiac output. Additionally, glucocorticoid deficiency leads to reduced production of cortisol which affects ACTH production to a decreased level and elevated the amount of blood beta-lipotropin, which has melanocyte-stimulating activity and, when combined with ACTH, causes the hyperpigmentation of skin and mucous membranes characteristic of Addison disease (Bancos et al., 2015). Therefore, hyperpigmentation is not caused by the adrenal deficiency secondary to pituitary failure.
Clinical Manifestations
Addison’s disease manifestation starts gradually. Symptoms such as weight loss, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, fatigue, and chronic are examples of disease characteristics. In about 50% of reported cas ...

As a registered nurse working as a case manager within the home health care setting, I have had the opportunity to provide care to patients diagnosed with various respiratory disorders. A majority of the patients I have worked with were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is defined as a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases (Huether, 2017). Two important facts regarding this respiratory disorder include the following:
COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States accounting for 138,080 deaths in 2010.
In 2010, the cost of COPD in the United States was estimated to be nearly $50 billion, including nearly $30 billion in direct health care expenditures.
These figures detail the staggering numbers of patients living with COPD and the significant impact on patients, families, communities and the health care system.
During the time that I worked with COPD patients, one of the respiratory disorders of particular interest was emphysema. I wanted to make sure I understood the disease process so I could provide the most appropriate care and teaching to my patients, families and caregivers. Emphysema is abnormal permanent enlargement of gas-exchange airways (acini) accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls without obvious fibrosis (Huether, 2017). Furthermore, the American Lung Association defined emphysema as the gradual damage of lung tissue, specifically thinning and destruction of the alveoli or air sacs (
www.lung.org
). I often used this definition with patients to help them understand how this respiratory disorder effects the body. The pathophysiology of emphysema includes the following:
Air sacs are destroyed in emphysema, making it progressively difficult to breathe.
Emphysema is usually accompanied by chronic bronchitis, with almost-daily or daily cough and phlegm.
Cigarette smoking is the major cause of emphysema.
People with emphysema experience shortness of breath with activities
It is not curable, but there are treatments that can help you manage the disease (www.lung.org).
Medication management of emphysema varies depending upon severity of the disease. Initial drug therapy selection depends on COPD severity, symptoms, and exacerbation risk. In addition, medication therapy may be based upon Global Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines which categorized COPD into four groups (A, B, C, D) ranging from low risk, less symptoms to high risk, high symptoms (Arcangelo, 2017). Medications may include the following:
Short-acting beta2 agonists, short-acting anticholinergics, combination of short-acting anticholinergic and short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists, long-acting beta2-agonists, l ...

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure performed when a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped in an effort to manually maintain some circulation and oxygenation until further resuscitation efforts can be performed or the heart can resume functioning on its own.
SCA stands for sudden cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly.
Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It is delivered by a device called a defibrillator, which delivers a dose of electric current to the heart. The aim is to depolarize a critical mass of the heart muscle to terminate
Dep with medical illness-by Dr.Swapnil Agrawal
This document discusses depression that occurs comorbidly with medical illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It notes that depression is common in patients with these conditions, affecting around 20% of those with CAD and 25% of those with diabetes. Depression is associated with worse health outcomes in these patients, including increased mortality and morbidity, poorer treatment adherence, and worse prognosis. The document explores some of the biological mechanisms of this association, such as effects on the autonomic nervous system, HPA axis, platelet activation and insulin resistance. It emphasizes the need for screening and treatment of depression in medically ill patients in order to improve their overall health.
Asma 2
1. Acute severe asthma (ASA) is a challenging condition to treat that can progress rapidly to respiratory failure without timely intervention. It requires early recognition and intensive management to prevent significant mortality and morbidity.
2. Recent research has provided insights into risk factors, pathophysiology, and management of ASA. Genetic polymorphisms, environmental exposures, and corticosteroid insensitivity may contribute to its development and severity. Airway remodeling involving inflammation, chemokines, and basement membrane changes is characteristic of severe asthma.
3. Prompt treatment of ASA is important and involves addressing precipitants, intensive bronchodilation, systemic corticosteroids, and potentially ventilatory support. Timely and appropriate treatment
CASE STUDY 2 Focused Throat Exam Lily is a 20-year-old student .docx
CASE STUDY 2: Focused Throat Exam Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus during the past 2 weeks, Lily figured she shouldn't take her 3-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily's. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn't sound congested.
To Prepare
· By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
· Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case.
With regard to the case study you were assigned:
· Review this week's Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.
· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.
· Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient's condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
· Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
The Assignment
Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient's differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each.

Seasonal Influenza Virus
Seasonal Influenza Virus, also known as the flu, is a major health concern each year that is most prevalent during the fall and winter seasons. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly, resulting in numerous cases each year despite education and vaccinations. The flu leads to millions of hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths in the United States each year. Treatments like oseltamivir can reduce symptoms and speed up recovery if taken within 48 hours of onset. Complications from the flu can be severe and include pneumonia, ear infections, and worsening of chronic conditions.

Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation.

Core clinical cases in psychiatry fergssuson, day, coomarasamy, arri
This book provides clinical case studies in psychiatry to help students learn diagnosis and treatment. Each case focuses on differential diagnosis, clinical features to confirm the diagnosis, factors contributing to the illness, and treatment options. Physical exams are less important for diagnosis in psychiatry than understanding the patient's subjective experiences and categorizing their symptoms. The cases cover common conditions students will encounter in practice and emphasize considering cultural and social factors that influence mental illness.

The document discusses the diagnosis and treatment of anxiety disorders. It begins by noting that anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness and outlines their prevalence. It then discusses challenges in diagnosis as classifications have evolved. The rest of the document focuses on biological and psychological factors involved in anxiety disorders, pharmacological treatments including SSRIs, SNRIs, and benzodiazepines, and cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques.
Psychosomatic disorders
Psychosomatic disorders occur when psychological factors influence physical health and symptoms. They can develop when there is a biological predisposition, personality vulnerability, and significant psychosocial stress. Common psychosomatic disorders include asthma, gastrointestinal issues, and cardiovascular problems. Psychological stress can exacerbate existing medical conditions like diabetes and cancer by changing behaviors or physiological responses. Treatments involve pharmacotherapy, psychotherapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle modifications.

Introduction of Individual
In 1816, the author of such beloved books as "Emma" and "Pride and Prejudice" came down with a large group of puzzling diseases including fatigue, back pain, skin discoloration, "bilious attacks" and fever. Only one year later, she was dead at 41 years old. Much theory has been dedicated to Jane Austen's infection in the years since, with the most widely recognized diagnosis being that she had Addison's sickness, a malfunction of the adrenal organs that wasn't known to medicine until quite a while after her demise (White, 2009). Even though delayed in its onset, the confusion is known to cause changes in skin color during its late stages, which may clarify Austen's cases that her complexion had turned "black and white and every wrong color."
Identification of Pathophysiology
Mineralocorticoid deficiency
Sodium reabsorption and excretion of potassium from the body are stimulated by mineralocorticoids, whereby if mineralocorticoids are not produced, it leads to decreased production of potassium and increased excretion of sodium, primarily through sweat, urine, saliva and times in gastrointestinal tract. A high serum concentration of potassium and low sodium concentration may be detected as a result. Symptoms such as but not limited may result where there is high water loss and urinary salt: hypotension, decreased circulatory volume, acidosis, plasma hypertonicity, severe dehydration, and finally, circulatory collapse. Nevertheless, when adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) leads to adrenal inadequacy due to its low production, the circulatory problems are less severe, and the electrolyte levels are somewhat normal or mildly deranged (Bancos et al., 2015).
Glucocorticoid deficiency
Insufficiency of Glucocorticoid production leads to hypotension and severe insulin sensitivity as well as interferes with protein, fat, and carbohydrate metabolism. From protein, carbohydrates are formed when there is inadequate production of cortisol, and also hypoglycemia and reduced liver glycogen result. As a result of neuromuscular function, the person feels weak. Circulatory failure may result due to myocardial weakness and dehydration because there is reduced cardiac output. Additionally, glucocorticoid deficiency leads to reduced production of cortisol which affects ACTH production to a decreased level and elevated the amount of blood beta-lipotropin, which has melanocyte-stimulating activity and, when combined with ACTH, causes the hyperpigmentation of skin and mucous membranes characteristic of Addison disease (Bancos et al., 2015). Therefore, hyperpigmentation is not caused by the adrenal deficiency secondary to pituitary failure.
Clinical Manifestations
Addison’s disease manifestation starts gradually. Symptoms such as weight loss, loss of appetite, muscle weakness, fatigue, and chronic are examples of disease characteristics. In about 50% of reported cas ...

As a registered nurse working as a case manager within the home health care setting, I have had the opportunity to provide care to patients diagnosed with various respiratory disorders. A majority of the patients I have worked with were diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). COPD is defined as a common preventable and treatable disease characterized by persistent airflow limitation that is usually progressive and associated with an enhanced chronic inflammatory response in the airways and the lung to noxious particles or gases (Huether, 2017). Two important facts regarding this respiratory disorder include the following:
COPD is the third leading cause of death in the United States accounting for 138,080 deaths in 2010.
In 2010, the cost of COPD in the United States was estimated to be nearly $50 billion, including nearly $30 billion in direct health care expenditures.
These figures detail the staggering numbers of patients living with COPD and the significant impact on patients, families, communities and the health care system.
During the time that I worked with COPD patients, one of the respiratory disorders of particular interest was emphysema. I wanted to make sure I understood the disease process so I could provide the most appropriate care and teaching to my patients, families and caregivers. Emphysema is abnormal permanent enlargement of gas-exchange airways (acini) accompanied by destruction of alveolar walls without obvious fibrosis (Huether, 2017). Furthermore, the American Lung Association defined emphysema as the gradual damage of lung tissue, specifically thinning and destruction of the alveoli or air sacs (
www.lung.org
). I often used this definition with patients to help them understand how this respiratory disorder effects the body. The pathophysiology of emphysema includes the following:
Air sacs are destroyed in emphysema, making it progressively difficult to breathe.
Emphysema is usually accompanied by chronic bronchitis, with almost-daily or daily cough and phlegm.
Cigarette smoking is the major cause of emphysema.
People with emphysema experience shortness of breath with activities
It is not curable, but there are treatments that can help you manage the disease (www.lung.org).
Medication management of emphysema varies depending upon severity of the disease. Initial drug therapy selection depends on COPD severity, symptoms, and exacerbation risk. In addition, medication therapy may be based upon Global Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) guidelines which categorized COPD into four groups (A, B, C, D) ranging from low risk, less symptoms to high risk, high symptoms (Arcangelo, 2017). Medications may include the following:
Short-acting beta2 agonists, short-acting anticholinergics, combination of short-acting anticholinergic and short-acting beta2-adrenergic agonists, long-acting beta2-agonists, l ...

CPR stands for cardiopulmonary resuscitation. It is an emergency procedure performed when a person's breathing or heartbeat has stopped in an effort to manually maintain some circulation and oxygenation until further resuscitation efforts can be performed or the heart can resume functioning on its own.
SCA stands for sudden cardiac arrest, which occurs when the heart malfunctions and suddenly stops beating unexpectedly.
Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia. It is delivered by a device called a defibrillator, which delivers a dose of electric current to the heart. The aim is to depolarize a critical mass of the heart muscle to terminate
Dep with medical illness-by Dr.Swapnil Agrawal
This document discusses depression that occurs comorbidly with medical illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. It notes that depression is common in patients with these conditions, affecting around 20% of those with CAD and 25% of those with diabetes. Depression is associated with worse health outcomes in these patients, including increased mortality and morbidity, poorer treatment adherence, and worse prognosis. The document explores some of the biological mechanisms of this association, such as effects on the autonomic nervous system, HPA axis, platelet activation and insulin resistance. It emphasizes the need for screening and treatment of depression in medically ill patients in order to improve their overall health.
Asma 2
1. Acute severe asthma (ASA) is a challenging condition to treat that can progress rapidly to respiratory failure without timely intervention. It requires early recognition and intensive management to prevent significant mortality and morbidity.
2. Recent research has provided insights into risk factors, pathophysiology, and management of ASA. Genetic polymorphisms, environmental exposures, and corticosteroid insensitivity may contribute to its development and severity. Airway remodeling involving inflammation, chemokines, and basement membrane changes is characteristic of severe asthma.
3. Prompt treatment of ASA is important and involves addressing precipitants, intensive bronchodilation, systemic corticosteroids, and potentially ventilatory support. Timely and appropriate treatment
CASE STUDY 2 Focused Throat Exam Lily is a 20-year-old student .docx
CASE STUDY 2: Focused Throat Exam Lily is a 20-year-old student at the local community college. When some of her friends and classmates told her about an outbreak of flu-like symptoms sweeping her campus during the past 2 weeks, Lily figured she shouldn't take her 3-day sore throat lightly. Your clinic has treated a few cases similar to Lily's. All the patients reported decreased appetite, headaches, and pain with swallowing. As Lily recounts these symptoms to you, you notice that she has a runny nose and a slight hoarseness in her voice but doesn't sound congested.
To Prepare
· By Day 1 of this week, you will be assigned to a specific case study for this Case Study Assignment. Please see the “Course Announcements” section of the classroom for your assignment from your Instructor.
· Also, your Case Study Assignment should be in the Episodic/Focused SOAP Note format rather than the traditional narrative style format. Refer to Chapter 2 of the Sullivan text and the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template in the Week 5 Learning Resources for guidance. Remember that all Episodic/Focused SOAP Notes have specific data included in every patient case.
With regard to the case study you were assigned:
· Review this week's Learning Resources and consider the insights they provide.
· Consider what history would be necessary to collect from the patient.
· Consider what physical exams and diagnostic tests would be appropriate to gather more information about the patient's condition. How would the results be used to make a diagnosis?
· Identify at least five possible conditions that may be considered in a differential diagnosis for the patient.
The Assignment
Use the Episodic/Focused SOAP Template and create an episodic/focused note about the patient in the case study to which you were assigned using the episodic/focused note template provided in the Week 5 resources. Provide evidence from the literature to support diagnostic tests that would be appropriate for each case. List five different possible conditions for the patient's differential diagnosis and justify why you selected each.
Episodic/Focused SOAP Note Template

Seasonal Influenza Virus
Seasonal Influenza Virus, also known as the flu, is a major health concern each year that is most prevalent during the fall and winter seasons. It is highly contagious and can spread rapidly, resulting in numerous cases each year despite education and vaccinations. The flu leads to millions of hospitalizations and tens of thousands of deaths in the United States each year. Treatments like oseltamivir can reduce symptoms and speed up recovery if taken within 48 hours of onset. Complications from the flu can be severe and include pneumonia, ear infections, and worsening of chronic conditions.

What did Glaxo-Welcome do? What should they have done?
Did Ofra Sherman do the right thing? What would you have done?
What was Ofra Sherman’s predicament? How did she get into it?
How do you evaluate her actions as described in the case?
RESPOND TO THIS POST FROM FERGUSON
Wellcome Israel is a pharmaceutical company operating in Israel. Wellcome is being acquired by Glaxo and soon will become Wellcome-Glaxo. This appears to be a hostile bid type takeover to create a large pharmaceutical company. All employees and management were extremely surprised by the takeover and are having a hard time processing it. The main them and problem that will be noted in this post is the lack of communication, direction and vision.
Glaxo-Wellcome is on the way to becoming one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world. There is an apparent hostile takeover in progress that no one including Wellcome management is aware of. As with any change there are periods of uncertainty, fear, and anxiety. The main focus is a general manager Ofra Sherman and her team who works for Wellcome Israel through Promedico. This takeover was done in a manner that is very disturbing in the fact that there was no communication and very little guidance throughout the entire process.
What they should have done is really quite simple and that is communicate. As I mentioned before change is a very anxious time and can lead to stress and poor work performance for those involved. “Good communication throughout every stage of the change process is vital to keep everyone informed and motivation levels high.” (Kirke 2012) This takeover shouldn’t have been a surprise to Wellcome and they should have been upfront with employees about what was going to occur and then once the takeover by Glaxo started the communication should have ramped up. I think one of the best ways to have handled this would have been to have teams from both companies setting up meetings so there was a continuous flow of information.
Ofra Sherman in my mind was in a very tough spot once again a lack of communication between all the parties really left her between a rock and a .

The progression of the reaction will be observed using a pH meter and a titration curve will be created using the experimental data. You will start with a sample containing only the acid and indicator and slowly add your standardized base. A titration curve is simply a plot of the pH of an acid versus the volume of base added, or vice versa. The titration curve gives a good description of how an acid-base reaction proceeds. The pH will start out low and acidic, then increase as it approaches the equivalence point, where the concentration of acid equals that of the base. Then as the solution becomes more basic, it will slowly rise and level off as an excess amount of base is added. Note that the equivalence point is slightly different from the endpoint of a titration. The endpoint is when the indicator changes color. This does not always correspond to the equivalence point.
As pre-laboratory preparation it is critical that you review the ideas on strong acid-strong base titration presented in your class readings.
Strong acid versus strong base
With your first sample, select an indicator from the two options and do a quick titration by adding 1 mL increments until you reach pH 2.5; then dropwise increments until you reach pH 10.7; after that add 1 mL increments until pH 11.5. Record your buret readings after the addition of each increment. Allow time for the reaction vessel to become equilibrated and for the pH reading to become stabilized and then record the pH value in your notebook alongside the buret reading. Leave an empty column between the buret reading and the pH in which to place the volume of NaOH added (difference between present buret reading and initial buret reading). Stop the titration when you have reach.

SEC450 ACL Tutorial
This document highlights the most important concepts on Access Control List (ACL) that
you need to learn in order to configure ACL in CLI. This tutorial does not intend by any
mean to cover all ACL applications, but only those scenarios used in then SEC450
iLabs.
Introduction to Access Control List
A host-based firewall essentially works closing and/or opening ports in a
computer. The engine behind firewalls is built with Access Control Lists (ACL).
Network-based firewalls are implemented in device-specific appliances and
routers. Basically, firewalls in routers filter packets through interfaces to permit
or deny them.
Ports are layer-4 address specified in TCP/IP protocol suit that identify
networking processes running in clients and servers.
ACLs are configured using shell-specific commands. In Cisco IOS, CLI
commands.

Student Name Brief #5 Use of Audit Software: Review and Survey Date
Central Message: Auditing has had to change from “around the computer” to “through the
computer” due to sources only being available in electronic form. CAATs and CAATTs improve
efficiency and effectiveness of audits. A variety of standards and statements were issued because
new guidance was necessary once the growth of IT affected the nature, timing, and extent of audit
procedures. Continuous auditing is the key to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of audits.
Author’s Theme: Auditors are advised to use CAATs to gather evidence so that they can increase
the efficiency of inspection and analytical review. One of the many statements released on IT, SAS
94, stressed that IT’s impact on internal control is a result of the nature and extent of the system’s
complexity rather than the size of the firm, which is why auditing through the computer is
important when testing controls. Auditors can pinpoint the risk areas and thus have a better idea of
what to inquire when questioning management; improving the quality of the evidence and thus the
audit. Importance: Advancement in information technology has a direct impact on business
processes and the audit. Increasingly, auditors are required to perform audits in computerized
environments; therefore, additional standards are required to ensure that financial statements
auditors continue to perform high quality audits. Conclusion/Opinions: (1) The author concludes
that auditing through the computer is important when testing controls because of the impact IT has
on internal control. GAAS field work #2 supports this because the IT system is a part of the entity’s
environment, and especially, when it is complex, the auditor must audit through the computer to
adequately assess internal control risk. (2) Using CAATs can increase the efficiency of audit
procedures. SAS No. 106 indicates that CAATs allow auditors to inspect electronic evidence directly.
(3) Auditors should use data analysis from audit software in order to pinpoint the risk areas and
gain a better idea of what to ask management. AS # 5 states that risk assessment underlies the
entire audit process, including the determination of significant accounts and relevant assertions,
selecting controls to test, and determining the evidence necessary.

Transmission Unaccomplished, John Authers September 24
th
2010 Financial Times Page 12
2. Article Summary:
“Transmission Unaccomplished” written in the Lex section of Friday’s Financial Times
offers an interesting and simplified perspective of the complex and sophisticated purpose and
workings of monetary policy. At a time when the world is reeling from the effects of
misunderstood monetary policy in the United States and other nations around the globe, this
article clearly cuts to the heart of the matter, provides a simple, easy to understand analogy
relating monetary policy to an automobile. The authors describe the key moving parts of the
economy as they correlate to their counterparts in an automobile. While he labor and
resources constitute the fuel of the economy, technology and institutions correspond to the
engine, and commerce is depicted as wheels. The financial system is the transmission,
responsible for moving the power and energy created by the fuel and engine to the wheels.
This simple analogy helps frame the context for the reason why central bankers – the
transmission mechanics – were facing increasing difficulty. In particular, the 1.6 % drop in
the dollar’s value, the lack of real economic turn-around, and the lagging increase in GDPs
around the world. The authors seem to think the US, despite an increasing saving rate and
10% deleveraging, still has long ways to go on the road to recovery, and the automobile
analogy suggests, is in need of significant repairs and rebuilding before it is truly road worthy.
3. How is the article is related to the readings and class discussions?
The concepts in the article mesh with the readings in chapters 3 – 5 as a current, real world
depiction of how monetary policy influences decisions in economics. The article highlights the
need for central bankers to properly manage monetary policy in order to maintain the
transmission of the vehicle, and keep the proper amount of power moving from the motor to the
wheels. It questions the true value of quantitative easing, and highlights the ramifications of
pursuing excessive QE as a policy. Just as was discussed in the first five chapters of the text
book, monetary policy involves a delicate balance of adjusting interest rates, setting currency
value, and establishing guidelines that enable prosperity and growth. The article also identifies
too much intervention as a possible means for enhancing the problems we face, rather than
ameliorating the problems.
4. What did I learn from this article?
This article certainly helped put monetary policy, something I seem to be familiar with only
through studying politics and economics, into a very concise, easy to understand framework that
enables a deeper understanding of greater associated issues. I learned that the US liabilities are

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

Application AsthmaComplications of asthma can be sudden. Consider.docx
- 1. Application: Asthma Complications of asthma can be sudden. Consider the case of Bradley Wilson, a young boy who had several medical conditions. He appeared in good health when he went to school, returned home, and ate dinner. However, when he later went outside to play, he came back inside wheezing. An ambulance took him to the hospital where he was pronounced dead (Briscoe, 2012). In another case, 10-year-old Dynasty Reese, who had mild asthma, woke up in the middle of the night and ran to her grandfather’s bedroom to tell him she couldn’t breathe. By the time paramedics arrived, she had passed out and was pronounced dead at the hospital (Glissman, 2012). These situations continue to outline the importance of recognizing symptoms of asthma and providing immediate treatment, as well as distinguishing minor symptoms from serious, life-threatening symptoms. Since these symptoms and attacks are often induced by a trigger, as an advanced practice nurse, you must be able to help patients identify their triggers and recommend appropriate treatment options. For this reason, you need to understand the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To prepare: Review “Asthma” in Chapter 26 of the Huether and McCance text. Identify the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Consider how these disorders are similar and different. Select a patient factor different from the one you selected in this week’s Discussion: genetics, gender, ethnicity, age, or behavior. Think about how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Reflect on how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment of these disorders for a patient based on the factor you selected. Review the “Mind maps—Dementia, Endocarditis, and Gastro- oesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD)” media in the Week 2 Learning Resources. Use the examples in the media as a guide
- 2. to construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Consider the epidemiology and clinical presentation of both chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. To complete: Write a 2- to 3-page paper that addresses the following: Describe the pathophysiological mechanisms of chronic asthma and acute asthma exacerbation. Be sure to explain the changes in the arterial blood gas patterns during an exacerbation. Explain how the factor you selected might impact the pathophysiology of both disorders. Describe how you would diagnose and prescribe treatment for a patient based on the factor you selected. Construct two mind maps—one for chronic asthma and one for acute asthma exacerbation. Include the epidemiology, pathophysiology, and clinical presentation, as well as the diagnosis and treatment you explained in your paper. Reference: Briscoe, K. (2012, May 12).
