An Example About Prostate Cancer

Patient is a 60 year old gentleman with PMH significant for CVA with residual left side weakness and speech difficulties, IDDM2, HFrEF (15% in March 2017 per cardiac Cath, and 32% per TTE 3/23/17 ), and CAD/MI s/p DES X 2 to the LAD (Tampa VA in 2012, 3/2017 at Florida Hospital), presenting initially to OVAMC on 5/19/17 with left hip pain after a mechanical fall at home. He had an MI in late March 2017, at which time he had a DES placed in the proximal-mid LAD (LHC also revealed a LV apical thrombus – 1.6 x 1.4 cm). His EF at that time was reportedly 15% per LHC, and it was suggested he get a Life Vest prior to discharge. Patient subsequently left AMA, without a Life Vest and without prescriptions (including the one

Iterations of analysis eliminated data points that were listed as “unusual observations,” or any data point with a large standardized residual. After 5 iterations, the analysis showed improved residual plots. Randomness in the versus fits and versus order plots means that the linear regression model is appropriate for the data; a straight line in the normal probability plot illustrates the linearity of the data, and a bell shaped curve in the histogram illustrates the normality of the data.

DOI: 9/18/2000. Patient is a 59-year-old female technician who sustained a work-related injury due to being jostled and jolted in the back of a golf cart which ran over a pothole. As per OMNI, she was diagnosed with post cervical protrusions, facet syndromes with headaches, lumbar facet syndrome and status post right shoulder repair/resection.

The ethical footing in the professional-patient relationship, is vulnerable and requires protection. In Case 2: Nondisclosure of Prostate Cancer, truth-telling is selective. Why would a doctor be justified in lying to his patient? Doctors usually filter out, all sorts of information they deem irrelevant. In this case, the doctor lied to his patient. The doctor based this on the patient’s history of psychiatric disease. The more true information I have, the better I understand my position, and the more able I will be to make sensible judgments about what to do next.Dishonesty can consist of saying something, staying silent, doing something, or doing nothing at all. A healthcare professional to mislead a patient must constitute a violation of that patient’s autonomy. Patients don’t know how the body preforms in health and disease, which causes inaccurate ideas of what’s going on.

(TCO 3) Before performing linear regression, it is important to ensure that a linear relationship exists between the dependent and independent variables by plotting observed

Roger Lee is seen today for his intake physical but also has some concern about a lesion to the tongue, which was first identified by the dentist, Dr. ____ during his dental work on 10/26/2017. Now offender is currently still being treated with nystatin for thrush infection, he reports this tongue lesion which has been present for over 90 days now. Offender is a former smoker. He is concerned about it being a malignant lesion.

Currently, The American Cancer Society is facing a problem with transportation that they hope to soon find a solution for nationwide. The number of people that are affected by cancer each year is growing, thus the need for transportation to and from treatment centers continues to grow as well. The Road to Recovery program is a wonderful tool that The American Cancer Society has implemented, but unfortunately it is not able to meet the ever growing demand for transportation. Due to the fact that this service is provided by volunteers, using their time, gas, and vehicles, it is not easy to secure the number of volunteers necessary to meet all of the transportation needs. This problem often leads to family members missing a substantial amount of work and putting their livelihoods in danger, patients rescheduling treatments, or even worse, missing necessary treatments. Within the local offices there is also a need for a volunteer coordinator due to the time and effort it takes to interview potential drivers, conduct background checks, secure additional insurance, and schedule the drivers with the patients. The volunteer coordinator position is completed voluntarily and is often another area of need for The American Cancer Society.

The thyroid gland is the gland that makes and stores hormones that help regulate the heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, and metabolism. Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions in the body. Thyroid hormones also help children grow and develop. The thyroid gland is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adam's apple, wrapped around the trachea. It has the shape of a butterfly with two lobes attached to one another by a middle part called the isthmus. The thyroid uses iodine, a mineral found in some foods and in iodized salt, to make its hormones. The two most important thyroid hormones are thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine

Steal has a fear called procrescophobia. Procrescophobia is a fear of gaining weight. As it is shown in the case study Stella has this fear day and night to not gain weight. Stella is in her way developing an eating disorder called Bulimia and Anorexia. Bulimia is a type of eating disorder where bulging follow by throwing up. Anorexia also an eating disorder, it is characterized by refusing eating. The society she lives in is very concern how people supposed to look like. Sadly, being skinny considered to be a meaning of beauty and media promote how it is important to be slim. In the story, it says she is a strong trendy fashion follower. So, both the society and her fashion love puts a lot of pressure for sure for her to not want to eat

Upon reflection of this case study, several teaching moments came to mind. According to Schuiling and Likis (2017), "abnormal uterine bleeding accounts for one-third of all annual gynecologic visits ns affects as many as 50% of women worldwide" (p. 610). Therefore, this was a great case to use for this assignment. After reading the associated text, I can appreciate the significance to differentiate between bleeding with and without related pathology. This opportunity supported learning surrounding this topic. When women present with uterine bleeding that is defined by her to be "abnormal," it is essential to rule out pathology. Treatment and options will be based on these findings and the absence of such. M. M. presented with a change in her menstrual cycle. However, she had been without medical care for five years. Therefore, a more comprehensive workup was necessary to prepare for the next steps. She has desired a permanent fix to her menstruation. Although, underlying pathology needed to be ruled out before

On the other hand, Mr. Monarca, a family friend of mine has a more severe case that has to be monitored regularly. He is only 53 years old, which is relatively young to be diagnosed with CLL, and he is currently going through chemotherapy treatment. It has not only been tough on him but also on his family and me. I see him roughly twice a week and cannot expect him to be the same person every time I visit. Either he is tired and grumpy or he is feeling sick and grumpy. His emotions have changed rapidly especially in the past couple of months when he started chemotherapy. Some days he is the kindest man ever and he sits for hours to talk while other nights he can not stop himself from getting angry at everyone and everything. These mood changes

1. What does the company listen to, why do they listen to, and who listens?

The initial referral was sent to EHR which felt that the patient should be placed in observation services. The attending physician disagreed.

From the scatterplots above we can see there is a moderate to weak linear relationship between the response factor and the independent variables. Because of this result, the model indicates that the data is unbiased and consistent in nature. The strongest of the scatterplots seem to be personal income vs unemployment rate and personal income vs college. But even then, the linear relationship is fairly weak. Because of the linear relationship, I continued to check correlations.
