Discussion Question: Please provide at least a 250-word response, utilizing references from the text and/or supplemental reading. Please also be sure to respond to at least two of your peers on the forum. It is obviously important when defining a project that the leaders have a clear perspective as to the direction of the project and the needs of the stakeholders. In the readings for this chapter the authors talked about the “power/interest” map for assessing stakeholders. Describe how this process works and its application. What are its advantages? How do you see this concept working in a modern organizational setting where a multitude of projects could be executed at any given moment? Discussion Question: iscussion Question: Please provide at least a 250 word response, utilizing references from the text and/or supplemental reading. Please also be sure to respond to at least two of your peers on the forum. Clearly the conceptualization of structures is very important in defining a project en route to execution. The authors of this text talked about both the work break down structure (WBS) as well as the process break down structure (PBS) describe both of these processes and articulate their application. Make sure that you discuss thoroughly the circumstances in which these tools are utilized and how they can be successfully implemented today. Make sure that you utilize specific references to the text in responding to this discussion question. 1 POLICY PROPOSAL Introduction Throughout this paper, I will explain why Mercy Health's suggested metric benchmarks fall short and why an organizational policy is needed to fix them. Second, highlight potential environmental factors and their effects on those strategies and provide ethically based strategies to improve metric performance issues. Thirdly, make a concise policy plan and offer suggestions for resolving performance issues concerning local, state, or federal policies. Finally, discuss stakeholders and group participation's role in successfully implementing procedures. Proposed Change to Organizational Policy Mercy Health's current benchmark was established to provide services of the highest possible quality in diabetes screening and prevention. In 2016 and 2017, there were three options for testing. Eye, foot, and HgbA1C tests were part of the testing. Each quarter's goals were established as suggested benchmarks for the provided services. The proposed benchmark exams were 45 for the eyes, 80 for the feet, and 140 for Hgb1Ac testing. The standard recommendations for all three services were below par, necessitating action to increase patient and community involvement. The underperformance of the benchmarks demonstrates a gap between community involvement in healthy living and practices and the hospital. As testing decreases, community illness rises, and health outcomes fall in the opposite direction. This affects care quality. African Americans, Caucasians, and American India.

Kwazi Mbatha, a CEGAA Researcher/Trainer for the BMET project,was joined by a member of TAC’s uMgungundlovu District community mobilisation team to discuss challenges and opportunities for HIV/AIDS and TB budget monitoring at local levels in South Africa. Relating primarily to CEGAA’s Budget Monitoring and Expenditure (BMET) project, conducted in partnership with the Treatment Action Campaign and entitled "Giving power to the community: Community monitoring of HIV/AIDS and TB spending in two districts in South Africa", this project worked towards increasing the delivery, accessibility, affordability and quality of treatment for people living with HIV/AIDS and TB, thus ensuring that ARVs and TB treatments are available as life-saving and prevention mechanisms. The pilot and secondary phase of the project sought to achieve the above by empowering communities and citizens towards a common understanding of health care delivery and budget issues and collaborative corrective action for optimal health care services at local level.

Choose 5 partnerships to engage and explain why you would invite each of these people//organizations to be a part of the coalition. The creation of community health promotion and education programs takes into consideration several agencies or parties who help in the achievement of the desired health goals. Each of the partners will address its roles using different approaches depending on their area of expertise. This is an important factor to consider as different institutions address health promotion using different approaches and perspectives. The overall outcome from the contribution of every partner should be able to restore and promote the physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, and social wellness of the community in relation to the health issue being suffered (Minelli, & Breckon, 2009). Chronic diseases are currently the leading causes of death in the community due to their complexity and the severe effects on human health. The community health promotion and education program will be provided by the ‘Health Concerns Coalition’ which will be made up of the following partners; community religious groups, Cancer Supportive Care Foundation, an association of cancer-survivor patients, nutritional organizations, and the local authority. 1. Cancer Supportive Care Foundation – This is an important part of the coalition as it will offer technical expertise in education and diagnosis of chronic diseases. The foundation team will include medical experts who will diagnose the community members of any chronic illnesses. Examinations for diseases such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, diabetes and blood pressure will be conducted by this partner as they will provide modern machines needed for the diagnosis of chronic illnesses. 2.

Buprenorphine Therapy in the HIV Primary Care Setting: Training and Integration

Impact Marketing + Communications

The intersection of opioid use and HIV is well documented. More than one-third of all AIDS cases in the U.S. are directly or indirectly linked to injection drug use. Additionally, dependence and abuse of pain relievers is on the rise; people living with HIV/AIDS who suffer from chronic pain may be at particular risk. Opioids are highly addictive and mortality among illicit opioid users is estimated at 13 times that of the general population. The SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative investigated the effectiveness of integrating buprenorphine opioid abuse treatment into HIV primary care settings. This Webcast is the first in a series under the new SPNS Integrating HIV Innovative Practices project (www.careacttarget.org/ihip) to assist providers in replicating SPNS work in their sites. This Webcast will introduce providers to the SPNS Buprenorphine Initiative, its findings, its synergy with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, and provide an overview of opioid use and HIV. The subsequent Webcast in the series will examine the clinical aspects of buprenorphine therapy, best practices, and implementation guidance. See also Integrating Buprenorphine Therapy Into HIV Primary Care Settings, a monograph on best practices, available at: https://careacttarget.org/content/integrating-buprenorphine-therapy-hiv-primary-care-settings.

Physiology of Chemical Sensation of smell.pdf

MedicoseAcademics

Title: Sense of Smell Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology Qualifications: MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore) FCPS Physiology ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU) MPH (GC University, Faisalabad) MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan) Learning Objectives: Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness. Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction. Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain. Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential. Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes. Key Topics: Olfactory Genes: 3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes. 400 genes for odorant receptors. Olfactory Membrane: Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity. Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum. Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate. Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters. Olfactory Mucosa: Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell. Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment. Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months. Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus. Stimulation of Olfactory Cells: Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia. Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve. Quality of a Good Odorant: Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble. Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus. Membrane Potential and Action Potential: Resting membrane potential: -55mV. Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength. Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell: Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation. Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system. Primary Sensations of Smell: Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid. Odor Detection Threshold: Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm). Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations. Characteristics of Smell: Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein. Behavioral and emotional influences of smell. Transmission of Olfactory Signals: From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition. Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
