The PowerPoint presentation must be 18 to 20 slides in length, not including title and reference slides. You are encouraged to creatively address the material by including graphics, visuals, charts, graphs, and/or sound. Slides should be designed to clearly and concisely address the material. The PowerPoint presentation must be formatted according to APA style (i.e., include the title and reference slides and citations within each slide when appropriate.) The notes section of the PowerPoint must be utilized to expand on your presented points. The notes section should also include any additional information necessary to explain or show your point of view. You must also use at least two scholarly sources in addition to the course text and include at least four community resources (with websites included).

Septic shock is the leading cause of death for patients in intensive care units and is the final stage in a continuum of infectious and inflammatory processes. This continuum begins with bacteremia, which is the presence of bacteria in the blood. Normally the body’s immune system can fight off a localized infection caused by a small amount of bacteria in the blood and the person will remain asymptomatic. However, a hospitalized patient could be immunocompromised, have a

(Q.2.) In comparison to my demonstration speech, I believe the introduction to my informative speech was much stronger, because I told a story instead of asking a question. My story allowed for my audience to have a mental picture of what I was talking about. How I related child development to my audience was much more effective in my informative speech than my demonstration speech. In my demonstration speech, not everyone raised their hand when I asked my question. In my informative speech, I related it to my audience by saying everyone has went through child development. I felt more confident in my informative speech because I practiced many times in front of my family and friends. I got marked points off for being too read-y in my demonstration speech, so for my informative speech I worked on not memorizing the whole thing. By not memorizing my informative speech I felt more confident while presenting.

Create a 10- to 12-slide Microsoft® PowerPoint® presentation, with a minimum of 100 words of speaker notes, in which you summarize each example and address the following questions:

Prepare a simple 1-2 minute informative presentation for the class. Use this journal question to (a) tell me which type of informative presentation you chose and why, and then (b) write out your presentation, and then be prepared to deliver it in class on Tuesday.

Standing at the front of the class, my nerves grew from a small, nagging annoyance to rampant thoughts of failure, causing me to scramble, my memory of the topic becoming fuzzy. My groupmate made his closing statement, which signaled to me that the hard part of our presentation was only just beginning. Watching several of my peers’ hands raise, it sunk in that the questioning phase of our presentation, and the only phase we could not thoroughly prepare for, had commenced.

Presentations should reflect a careful analysis of audience interest and be relevant. Presentations should also reflect the theory we

Develop a 10- to 15-minute presentation in which you address the following points (7 pts):

Western blotting was used in Figure 2 to confirm that the transfection with siRNA was successful and evaluate the siRNA knockdown of CDK8 protein expression

By cloning the LPS locus, he was able to identify a ‘toll-like receptor’ (TLR4) which acted sense the presence of invading microbes bearing LPS. Receptors of the same family, ten of which are now known to exist in humans, each ‘tuned’ to detect different kinds of microbes, also initiate inflammation to combat infection, but sometimes shock as well. It was for this work that Beutler won the Nobel Prize, and his team at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center continues to search for proteins that protect mammals against defined infections. In the process, they have identified genes required for other functions, including the regulation of iron absorption, hearing and the development of embryos

The second presentation to be analysed is an informative speech delivered by a student named Vicky. Vicky attended her speech wearing appropriate attire for her audience. In my opinion, I think she was dressed appropriately, but she should have dressed in a server attire to enhance the mood of her speech. One of Vicky’s flaws in her presentation was her body language. Although she obtained good eye contact with her audience, she had some difficulties with her gestures and movements that could give off the wrong impression to her audience, such as using too many gestures with her hands and she often swayed while she was talking. These gestures could portray that she was nervous. Another fault she illustrated was her stance in which her hip was

I found Christopher Walsh’s presentation about autism very interesting. Although I was aware of the autistic spectrum, the false studies done connecting vaccines to autism, and the repercussions that those studies even today, I was not aware of the extensive research that has already been done to connect autism to genetic causes. I had always assumed that autism was caused by the combination of genetics and the environment, so to actually have research that confirms those assumptions is incredible.

(Gorman, 1998). I feel as a group with different knowledge of the topic we worked well together after we overcame the issue of picking a topic. It felt a little awkward at first in the storming stages, but as every meeting passed it got better and we learned to work as a team. Everyone had a role and we all understood each other’s roles and what we needed to do to produce the final presentation. When the person before me was going though their part I was thinking I can’t do this and was starting to shake. I thought we did well to present out topic to our peers and we received good feedback from the lecturer. I was very pleased that I did a good job presenting even though I was nervous.

I decided to pick Team E’s presentation to evaluate. This team’s topic was the only one that I haven’t done some sort of research on for another class, and I felt that it was best that I picked something that I don’t really know any details about. Team E’s power point presentation was on Alzheimer’s disease. This disease was discovered in 1906 by Dr. Alois Alzheimer. He was the person who first saw the disease, and was able to notice the cognitive and behavioral degeneration in patients (Bremer, Ross, Shaw, Towery, 2012). This is a disease that is very damaging not only to the person suffering, but to
