This study evaluated the impact of language on the outcomes of functional analyses for 9 children with autism who lived in Spanish-speaking homes. Functional analyses were conducted in both Spanish and English to determine if language affected the identified function of problem behaviors or the patterns of behaviors observed. The results found correspondence between the functions identified in Spanish and English for 8 of the 10 cases. This suggests that language of assessment did not significantly impact outcomes for most participants. However, the study highlights the importance of considering linguistic factors when conducting functional analyses.
1. 1MedicalKnowledge.com was founded in 2005 to provide physicians with software to conduct virtual visits with patients over the internet, allowing doctors to see more patients from anywhere using a computer.
2. The software allows doctors to triage patients before visits and conduct follow-ups virtually, saving time for both doctors and patients. It could reduce healthcare costs and staffing needs for doctors.
3. Doctors pay $100-400 per month depending on number of patients seen virtually. This fee can be offset by increasing patient loads by 50% or more, boosting doctor incomes significantly while providing more convenient care for patients.

Questions:
1. Facebook remains the top choice of social media over all ages, with 65% using Facebook most often among those using social media sites. However, more visually oriented social networks such as Snapchat and Instagram continue to draw in younger audiences. When asked “Which one social networking site or service do you use most often?’’ here are the top sites chosen by Americans aged 12–24 who currently use any social networking site or service:
Social Media Site Percentage Who Use Most Often
Facebook 43%
Instagram 18%
Snapchat 15%
Twitter 8%
Google+ 4%
Pinterest 3%
a) What is the sum of the percentages for these top social media sites? What percent of Americans aged 12–24 use other social media sites most often?
b) Make a bar graph to display these data. Be sure to include an “Other social media site’’ category.
c) Would it be correct to display these data in a pie chart? Why or why not?
2. Table below gives the number of active nurses per 100,000 people in each state.
a) Why is the number of nurses per 100,000 people a better measure of the availability of nurses than a simple count of the number of nurses in a state?
b) Make a stemplot that displays the distribution of nurses per 100,000 people. The data will first need to be rounded. What units are you going to use for the stems? The leaves? You should round the data to the units you are planning to use for the leaves before drawing the stemplot. Write a brief description of the distribution. Are there any outliers? If so, can you explain them?

Prevention of age related macular degeneration is a major agenda item for our organization from this moment on. This is designed for eye doctors and is an invitation to join us!
This document describes the PreventAMD2019 program, which aims to reduce the incidence of age-related macular degeneration through screening and lifestyle motivation. It utilizes the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner to quickly and reliably measure antioxidant levels and give patients a score to monitor changes over time. The program is sponsored by The Foundation of a Healthy America and seeks a visionary practice in each state to implement regular scanning and incentivize patients to improve their scores through exercise, diet, supplements and other lifestyle changes.
This document describes the PreventAMD2019 program, which aims to reduce the incidence of age-related macular degeneration through early detection and lifestyle changes. It utilizes the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner to quickly and reliably measure antioxidant levels and motivate patients. The program is sponsored by The Foundation of a Healthy America and seeks a visionary practice in each state to implement antioxidant scanning and lifestyle coaching to help prevent chronic diseases through measurement and incentivizing positive behavior changes.
The document describes the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner, which measures a person's antioxidant levels in 30 seconds. It notes that higher antioxidant levels are better for health. The scanner gives patients a score to motivate them to make lifestyle changes like diet and exercise that can improve their score when retested in 3 months. The document promotes using the scanner in eye doctors' offices to help prevent diseases like macular degeneration and argues it could significantly grow practices and incomes while helping patients.
This document discusses using the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner to measure antioxidants in patients in order to motivate healthy behavior changes. It takes only 30 seconds to measure a patient's antioxidants and they are given a score to monitor their levels over time. The document advocates using antioxidant measurement along with guidelines for diabetes, cholesterol, blood pressure, and periodontal disease to help patients improve their health. It proposes making antioxidant measurement a standard part of dental care and recruiting lead dentists in each state to grow this approach.
This document discusses using the Pharmanex Biophotonic Scanner to measure antioxidant levels in patients in order to motivate healthy behavior changes. It takes only 30 seconds to obtain a patient's antioxidant score, which is more reliable than serum levels. Patients return in 3 months to assess changes in their score. The goal is for dentists in each state to use the scanner as part of preventative care in dental offices to help patients reduce the risks of periodontal disease, diabetes, heart disease, and stroke by increasing antioxidant intake and maintaining healthy lifestyle habits that are measurable over time. Dentists are offered the role of Lead Dentist in their state to expand this preventative program.
The document discusses an antioxidant scanner that measures tissue antioxidant levels and motivates patients to take actions to improve their antioxidant levels and periodontal health. It explains that the scanner provides a score and patients should aim for a score of at least 40,000. To increase their score, patients are advised to avoid tobacco, maintain a healthy weight, reduce stress, eat more fruits and vegetables, and take a quality nutritional supplement. It emphasizes that supplements differ in effectiveness and safety, and recommends a pharmaceutical-grade supplement. The document promotes using the antioxidant scanner to monitor progress.

Your smile is beautiful.
Let’s be honest. Maintaining that beautiful smile is not an easy task. It is more than brushing and flossing. Sometimes, you might encounter dental issues that need special dental care. These issues can range anywhere from misalignment of the jaw to pain in the root of teeth.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Unit 4: MRA 103T Regulatory affairs
This guideline is directed principally toward new Molecular Entities that are
likely to have significant use in the elderly, either because the disease intended
to be treated is characteristically a disease of aging ( e.g., Alzheimer's disease) or
because the population to be treated is known to include substantial numbers of
geriatric patients (e.g., hypertension).

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
NAVIGATING THE HORIZONS OF TIME LAPSE EMBRYO MONITORING.pdfRahul Sen
Time-lapse embryo monitoring is an advanced imaging technique used in IVF to continuously observe embryo development. It captures high-resolution images at regular intervals, allowing embryologists to select the most viable embryos for transfer based on detailed growth patterns. This technology enhances embryo selection, potentially increasing pregnancy success rates.
low birth weight presentation. Low birth weight (LBW) infant is defined as the one whose birth weight is less than 2500g irrespective of their gestational age. Premature birth and low birth weight(LBW) is still a serious problem in newborn. Causing high morbidity and mortality rate worldwide. The nursing care provide to low birth weight babies is crucial in promoting their overall health and development. Through careful assessment, diagnosis,, planning, and evaluation plays a vital role in ensuring these vulnerable infants receive the specialize care they need. In India every third of the infant weight less than 2500g.
Birth period, socioeconomical status, nutritional and intrauterine environment are the factors influencing low birth weight
2. Their expertise and dedication to patient care were extraordinary.
However, their approach to new opportunities was extremely different.
Especially after the end of the day…
Because they were married - but that’s another story !
3. “I know what you like, so I’ll start with the SCIENCE.
The Antioxidant Scanner was invented at the University of Utah in 2001.
It measures 18 different carotenoid antioxidants with a 30 second scan of
the hand using Raman Spectroscopy. It provides a score, like 31,000, that
indicates how much antioxidant protection a person has.”
“Says who ? How do you know that thing works? Where are the studies?”
“Instead of watching the news tonight, go to this website”:
– http://farsighted.com/ScannerScience
4. “The peer reviewed, published studies demonstrate
• The value and nature of Raman Spectroscopy
• The validity of the Phamanex Antioxidant Scanner
Plus, there are tens of thousands of articles on PubMed.gov about the
importance of antioxidants in terms of protection against cancer, heart
disease, macular degeneration, Alzheimers, & periodontal disease.”
“Okay… Assuming that the science is valid and the scanner actually measures
what they say it does, how is this going to fit in with the Imaginary Dental
Group?
How do we use it in the office?”

6. “Ok, so it fits in with office flow – 6 minutes for the assistant several times
a day works out. No bumps. Especially since the doctor doesn’t do anything.
Now, $20 for each scan. Cash? I wonder if patients might object to that. How
many scans do you think we would do each day?”
“Probably 4-6 based on what other offices have done. Also, our patients will
appreciate that we’re helping them prevent problems.
This is where our country and healthcare are heading – prevention, not ‘drill
and fill’ – and we can be one of the leaders! We can help motivate people to
make life changes by having a numerical score, just like weight, blood pressure,
cholesterol, A1C, and PSA – people understand numbers.
We dentists can use the numerical score, to help them begin making
changes in diet, exercise, and nutrition – and then monitor their progress a
few months later, just like a regular lab test.”
7.
8. “And what’s more, when they come back in 3 months for another scan, we
will ask them to ‘Bring A Friend’ and we’ll scan them for free.
And… the friend will get an introduction to us and our practice!
Also, when the patients get scanned, they get a scan card which is perfect
for a ‘show and tell’ with their friends, family, and co-workers.
This is a terrific tool for identifying our practice as proactive and cutting edge.
If you add up $20 per scan at, say 4 a day, that’s $20,000 for the year,
and…
if we recommend the guaranteed supplements, it’s much, much more!”
9. “You mean we HAVE to sell supplements? Is that part of the deal? That’s not
very professional. Plus, why would we want to fill up our storage cabinets with
bottles of stuff?”
“When I talked to Dr. Edmiston about that, he said that when he used the
scanner in his Sacramento ophthalmology office, he felt funny about ‘pushing’
pills on his patients, so he didn’t do that. He just let them go to Walmart, or
whatever…
However, when they came back for their 3 month re-scan, and their score
didn’t go up, Dr. Edmiston began recommending the guaranteed products and
things changed dramatically.
And, we never have to stock anything – ever!
Plus, there’s a remarkable commission from these products.”
11. “Actually, I’m interested in this scanner. How much does it cost?”
“We don’t have to buy it. We lease it with a $100 monthly purchase of scan
credits (1 scan needs 1 credit) and $20 loss/damage waiver.
Now, we do have to QUALIFY for the lease with a purchase of $4945 purchase
of products and $500 for the mini Ipad with software.
The product purchase amount is broken down into $4400 for four thousand
scan cards (should last 3+ years) and $545 in product for ‘show and tell’ in
the scan room.”
So, when you look back at the spreadsheet, we’ve got our startup cost + our
operating expenses taken care of in less than 3 months – the rest is gravy for us
& our partners!”
12. “One last thing…
Our office team needs to be behind this – how are we going to get them on
board with this technology – and the supplements?”
“There will be a special meeting for them where we introduce the system and
scan each one of them – who will personally scan the next person! They will
each get their own score. This is a piece of cake to learn.
“Plus, they’ll love that they are helping patients even more – and making extra
income while doing it. We’re charging $20 for the scan and we get $8 when a
patient begins a guaranteed product. I feel that our office team should be
getting more than half of that – thousands of extra dollars each year! Plus, the
larger income is from the commission of the supplements – by far!”
13. “Okay, let me get this straight.
The scanner improves our patient care by incentivizing patients to change
their lifestyle, diet, and nutrition.
The scanner brings us new patients and makes us a lot of money.
The scanner establishes us as a visionary, leading edge dental practice.”
“And, also, it allows us to hold open houses, fundraisers for charity, and take to
health fairs and the talks we give for our colleagues and the community.
Imagine the great publicity we will get!”
“Done! The science is real. The benefits are extraordinary for our dental
practice. What do we do next?”
“Thought you’d never ask…”
14. At the partners’ meeting the next night, the two dentists
presented the program to their colleagues.
It was enthusiastically accepted.
Dr. Hart and Dr. Stern celebrated with a wonderful dinner that evening.
16. Antioxidant Scanner Ordered
Dr Hart called The Foundation of a Healthy America and spoke with its
Executive Director, Dave Edmiston, M.D., who helped her obtain the scanner.
It took 15 minutes online to place the order for the scanner and
fax the scanner lease to the company.

“Our income will come from the sale of guaranteed products by ourselves and
the practices in our state. As the Lead Practice of our state, we should easily
make more than $150,000 –in Year One !”
25. “Also, by giving our Team Members a financial incentive to refer people

After the partners agreed that things indeed were going well,
Dr Hart and Dr. Edmiston decided on a plan of action:
1. Press Release to the local and area media (Dr. Edmiston)
2. New Page on Practice Website about the scanner
3. Facebook Business Page & Yelp Business Page (Dr. Edmiston)
4. Contact all Dentists within 50 miles of practice and ask them to
come view the scanner (Dr. Edmiston)
5. Contact all Dentists in STATE about the scanner and provide
phone number & email of practice for questions (Dr. Edmiston)
31. After the Lead Practice in each state was selected, the training and marketing
process was repeated for each one – and they all became very successful.
And, after 2 months of successful operations, Dr Edmiston and The Foundation
of a Healthy America contacted every general dental practice in the state.
And all of them became very successful. And their network grew & grew…

Editor's Notes
The answer is a good one! Only the receptionist and the medical assistant do a little extra. The Receptionist provides the patient Letter #1 after registration. It talks about the value of antioxidants, the scanner, and the weight management program. If the patient wants a scan, he pays $20, gets scanned, and is given Letter #2 by the Assistant telling about the benefits of diet and office recommended supplements. The patient may decide to begin approved supplements which is done online by the Receptionist. Should the patient want more information about the Weight Management program, his name, phone #, and best time to call is emailed to FFHA. He is then contacted by Dr Edmiston who explains the program and enrolls him if he so desires. The patient enjoy continuing support through phone calls, webinars, emails, nutritional counseling, and 24/7 access to FFHA.
Now what does the doctor do? Well, the doctor does just what he or she has been trained to do – and now without much of a worry about the medical practice.
