You understand that database technology can dramatically improve your ability to analyze information, compared to spreadsheet technology, and assist you in developing your strategic plans for the cafe. To help you familiarize yourself with databases and their associated business value you need to create a report detailing the basics of databases and why they are better for running a business than spreadsheet applications. Be sure to provide a detailed explanation of relational databases along with their associated business advantages.

On page 99-100 hidden curriculum is defined as “the attitudes and practices that others model, even though they do not explicitly teach them.” In the book Michael Wilkes gives a good quote explaining that even though we are taught and teach about how to be appropriate and respect different cultures, different health practices etc. the moment we are in a situation where a peer disses, or makes fun of a patient everyone kind of falls into it to be part of a so called “club” to fit in. So actually seeing is doing when training these new professionals, and to achieve true change comes from modeling the behavior that we want to see. My interpretation of the term was pretty close to the way the textbook explained it, that when we are in a professional setting even though we are always taught to have these standards on how we communicate things and deal with others we don't always follow that rule and sometimes like to poke fun at the fact to make our colleagues laugh which isn't always the moral thing to do.

In order to review their inherited genetic risks and help them understand and provide counseling according to their specific needs the genetic counselor should know the Trosacks ' have already established that their unborn child has Tay Sachs disease and based on those needs they should be provided with appropriate guidance and counseling as they progress through their pregnancy. The discussion should include what causes genetic disorders, and what that means to the Trosack couple specifically, including dominant, recessive and x-linked disorders. However, recessive disorders should be fully discussed in this case. Another topic to include in the discussion are what genes and chromosomes are, and the relation to Tay Sachs disease.

So that was the story of "Diamond","Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. It's so sad that he had to be murdered. If you were to ask anyone that knew him they would say that he would treat anyone that he knew or just met like family, weather it was backstage or even at his own home. The chilling thing about the murder is that it was on the 24th anniversary of john Lennon's

The main theme of “Final Cut” by Atul Gawande is that medicine is an inexact science and doctors are not always sure of themselves, even if they appear confident. Gawande’s main argument is simply stated: there has been a decline in the amount of autopsies performed in the medical field as a result of medical arrogance; over confident doctors believe they know the cause of death and do not want to perform autopsies. Gawande illustrates his argument by outlining the history of autopsy use in medicine, incorporating medical cases that he has experienced as a surgeon, and including statistics on autopsy usage. “Final Cut” is an outstanding profile on the decline of autopsy use in medicine. What makes “Final Cut” an enjoyable and informative article for all readers is its use of strategies associated with fiction such as the establishment of characters, balance between medical information and personal experience, and its use of active voice.

The BLS states that the employment outlook for the genetics counseling field is quite promising. They project it to grow at 29 percent until the year 2024, which is much faster than average. Keep reading to learn why the employment outlook for this exciting medical field is so good.

In this essay “When Doctors Make Mistakes” Atul Gawande (1999) talks about the day when he made a mistake as a doctor. He writes everything that he did step by step to show what he did wrong. He talks about how tried to open her airway and couldn’t so he had attending come help him. He also talks about the patient barely surviving and how the attending had to tell the family that the patient was alive but in a critical condition. He then goes on and talks about other mistakes physicians have made but admits that “all doctors make terrible mistakes” (p.385).

According to Berger (2014), a patient can receive genetic counseling to learn more about a condition/disease he or she may possibly be at risk for and may possibly pass onto their children (p. 88). A genetic counselor is educated and trained to describe to the patient the condition/disease, the benefits and drawbacks for taking the genetic test, the test results’ meaning, and how having the condition could affect their future children (Berger, 2014, p. 88). Then, the patient – not the genetic counselor – makes decisions about his or her next steps with respect to all the information they have been provided by the genetic counselor (Berger, 2014, p. 89).

In Dr. Goldman’s article “Doctors Make Mistakes: A Commentary on Medical Errors” (TedTalk) he asserts the doctors are reluctant to admit making errors. Doctors are human so they make errors but they are reluctant to admit them. Dr. Goldman states that a culture of denial and shame exists in the medical community. He further asserts that the culture is pervasive within the medical profession and that it makes doctors afraid to come forward.

As much as I wanted to eat something healthy, I allowed myself to splurge and buy a bacon hamburger packed with macaroni and cheese and a side of fries. The burger was unreal. Yet despite the savory taste, this would come to haunt me during The 1975’s performance. After waiting four hours at Piedmont stage and nearly being thrown in a mosh pit during a Swedish heavy-metal band, Ghost’s, set, The 1975 came on stage and revived my life. At this point my legs were aching, I was about to collapse from the lack of sleep I got the night before, I felt nauseous from the amount of weed and cigarettes being smoked, and what lovely time for my stomach to start meeting up with the burger I just had. When I tell you I nearly threw up on the girl in front of me I am not kidding. I felt miserable, but it was all worth it. Having seen The 1975 two times prior to this event, you’d expect that I would be accustomed to their performances. This was not the case. As they grow bigger and bigger everytime I see them the moment feels more and more surreal. From everyone knowing the lyrics to ‘Robbers’ to making the entire crowd jump to ‘The Sound’, it just shows one the dedication us fans have towards a band. They never fail to surprise

Those who are blessed with large, close families get a tiny peak into the real world expression of genetics. Weaving together science and family history, Siddhartha Mukherjee tells the story of the discovery and unraveling of the human gene. This is the history of that microscopic bit of code that determines who we are. It establishes our unique identity by piecing together bits of code from those who came before us.

Imagine walking alone in life with no one to talk to and feeling that you are being swallowed by darkness. Friendships are invaluable in life and can be found in unexpected places, such as in music. Luckily for me, I have a great friend by the name of Carter Vonderahe and we learned together, learned from each other while helping one another, and have had fun.

Personalized medicine is one of the emerging field for CNS biomarker due to rising its application as diagnostic tool which assist in to recognize the precise biological markers. The personalized medicine also assists to identify the genetics which helps in performing medical procedures and treatment that is suitable for individual patient. Research institutes & centres and companies are using CNS information to innovate more efficient nerve disease programs. Oncology is one of the key area in which the development and application of personalized medicine due to rising prevalence of cancer across the globe.
