Anemias are conditions in which there are too few erythrocytes or an insufficient volume of erythrocytes in the blood. Polycythemias are conditions in which erythrocyte numbers or volume is excessive. All of these conditions have many causes and are pathophysiological manifestations of a variety of disease states. Many disorders involving leukocytes range from increased numbers of leukocytes (i.e., leukocytosis) in response to infections to proliferative disorders (such as leukemia). Many hematological disorders are malignancies, and many nonhematological malignancies metastasize to bone marrow, affecting leukocyte production. Thus a large portion of this chapter is devoted to malignant disease. The primary role of clotting (hemostasis) is to stop bleeding through an interaction of endothelium lining the vessels, platelets, and clotting factors. A large number of disease states may be associated with a clinically significant increase or decrease in clotting resulting from alterations in any of the three main 1533 components of the clotting process. Alterations of Erythrocyte Function Classification of Anemias Anemia is a reduction in the total number of erythrocytes in the circulating blood or a decrease in the quality or quantity of hemoglobin. Anemias commonly result from (1) impaired erythrocyte production, (2) blood loss (acute or chronic), (3) increased erythrocyte destruction, or (4) a combination of these three factors. Anemias are classified by their causes (e.g., anemia of chronic disease) or by the changes that affect the size, shape, or substance of the erythrocyte. The most common classification of anemias is based on the changes that affect the cell’s size and hemoglobin content (Table 21-1). Terms used to identify anemias reflect these characteristics. Terms that end with -cytic refer to cell size, and those that end with -chromic refer to hemoglobin content. Additional terms describing erythrocytes found in some anemias are anisocytosis (assuming various sizes) and poikilocytosis (assuming various shapes). TABLE 21-1 Morphological Classification of Anemias Structure of Erythrocytes Macrocytic-normochromic anemia: large, abnormally shaped erythrocytes, normal hemoglobin concentrations Microcytic-hypochromic anemia: small, abnormally shaped erythrocytes and reduced hemoglobin concentration Name and Mechanism of Anemia Pernicious anemia: lack of vitamin B12; abnormal DNA and RNA synthesis in erythroblast; premature cell death Folate deficiency anemia: lack of folate; premature cell death Iron deficiency anemia: lack of iron for hemoglobin; insufficient hemoglobin Sideroblastic anemia: dysfunctional iron uptake by erythroblasts and defective porphyrin and heme synthesis Thalassemia: impaired synthesis of ?- or ?-chain of hemoglobin A; phagocytosis of 1534 Primary Cause Congenital or acquired deficiency of intrinsic factor; genetic disorder of DNA synthesis Dietary folate deficiency Chronic blood loss, dietary iron deficiency, disruption of iron metabolism or iron cycle Congenital dysfunction of iron metabolism in erythroblasts, acquired dysfunction of iron metabolism as result of medications or toxins Congenital genetic defect of globin synthesis abnormal erythroblasts in marrow Normocytic-normochromic Aplastic anemia: insufficient anemia: normal size, erythropoiesis normal hemoglobin Posthemorrhagic anemia: concentration blood loss Hemolytic anemia: premature destruction (lysis) of mature erythrocytes in circulation Sickle cell anemia: abnormal hemoglobin synthesis, abnormal cell shape with susceptibility to damage, lysis, and phagocytosis Anemia of chronic disease; abnormally increased demand for new erythrocytes Depressed stem cell proliferation Increased erythropoiesis; iron depletion Increased fragility of erythrocytes Congenital dysfunction of hemoglobin synthesis Chronic infection or inflammation; malignancy Disorders of Coagulation & Thromboembolism DNA, Deoxyribonucleic acid; RNA, ribonucleic acid. Clinical manifestations The main alteration of anemia is a reduced oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood resulting in tissue hypoxia. Symptoms of anemia vary, depending on the body’s ability to compensate for the reduced oxygen-carrying capacity. Anemia that is mild and starts gradually is usually easier to compensate and may cause problems for the individual only during physical exertion. As red blood cell reduction continues, symptoms become more pronounced and alterations in specific organs and compensation effects are more apparent. Compensation generally involves the cardiovascular, respiratory, and hematological systems (Figure 21-1). 1535 Progression and Manifestations of Anemia. BPG, bisphosphoglycerate; RBC, red blood cell; SV, stroke volume. FIGURE 21-1 A reduction in the number of red blood cells in the blood causes a reduction in the consistency and volume of blood. Initial compensation for cellular loss is movement of interstitial fluid into the blood, causing an increase in plasma volume. This movement maintains an adequate blood volume, but the viscosity (thickness) of the blood decreases. The “thinner” blood flows faster and more turbulently than normal blood, causing a hyperdynamic circulatory state. This hyperdynamic state creates cardiovascular changes— increased stroke volume and heart rate. These changes may lead to cardiac dilation and heart valve insufficiency if the underlying anemic condition is not corrected. Hypoxemia, reduced oxygen level in the blood, further contributes to cardiovascular dysfunction by causing dilation of arterioles, capillaries, and venules, thus increasing flow through them. Increased peripheral blood flow and venous return further contributes to an increase in heart rate and stroke volume in a continuing effort to meet normal oxygen demand and prevent 1536 cardiopulmonary congestion. These compensatory mechanisms may lead to heart failure. Tissue hypoxia creates additional demands and effects on the pulmonary and hematological systems. The rate and depth of breathing increase in an effort to increase oxygen availability accompanied by an increase in the release of oxygen from hemoglobin. All of these compensatory mechanisms may cause individuals to experience shortness of breath (dyspnea), a rapid and pounding heartbeat, dizziness, and fatigue. In mild chronic cases, these symptoms may be present only when there is an increased demand for oxygen (e.g., during physical exertion), but in severe cases, symptoms may be experienced even at rest. Manifestations of anemia may be seen in other parts of the body. The skin, mucous membranes, lips, nail beds, and conjunctivae become either pale because of reduced hemoglobin concentration or yellowish (jaundiced) because of accumulation of end products of red blood cell destruction (hemolysis) if that is the cause of the anemia. Tissue hypoxia of the skin results in impaired healing and loss of elasticity, as well as thinning and early greying of the hair. Nervous system manifestations may occur where the cause of anemia is a deficiency of vitamin B12. Myelin degeneration occurs, causing a loss of nerve fibres in the spinal cord, resulting in paresthesias (numbness), gait disturbances, extreme weakness, spasticity, and reflex abnormalities.

Major principles that guide 21st-century journalists

Major principles that guide 21st-century journalists Major principles that guide 21st-century journalists Identify the major principles that guide 21st-century journalists, including newsworthiness, style, modality, and some ethical and legal frameworks. In short, our OBJECTIVES for this assignment are: ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS To demonstrate what we now know about producing 21st-century journalism with examples of article-writing that represent our best-quality work. To reflect on our accomplishment of course objectives and the ways this course material may be valuable in our future activities and careers. ** As a reminder, those course objectives are: Identify the major principles that guide 21st-century journalists , including newsworthiness, style, modality, and some ethical and legal frameworks. Identify the parts of a news story, describe the relationship among those parts, and explain the way they work together to produce meaning. Demonstrate an understanding of a journalistic story\’s context and audience. Articulate, evaluate, and justify journalistic writing choices at various stages of the revision process, including sentence-level grammatical errors and stylistic effects, AP style, structure, coherence, and multimedia integration. Consume media content with a more informed and critical eye. COMPONENTS undefined (A) ONE original multimedia article, from pitch to publication-ready DETAILS (1) ONE original multimedia article, from pitch to publication-ready. You will make a pitch for a story idea that you would like to cover for the Albion College Pleiad. The pitch should include (a) as many of the 5Ws + H questions as you can answer; (b) which aspects of newsworthiness (FOCII) readers would care most about with this story; (c) the section of the publication in which the story should appear (e.g. \”Sports\” or \”Features\”); and (d) opportunities or challenges the reporter should keep in mind. Then you\’ll get down to the reporting — schedule “interviews” (use the name Aanika Batra a sophomore at Albion College and Athena Levigne a junior at Albion College for your interviewee names!) , perhaps do some internet research, — in short, gather all the materials you need to make the story the best it can be.

Importance of Toxic Release Inventory

Importance of Toxic Release Inventory ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS ON Importance of Toxic Release Inventory Provide a quick summary of your city’s TRI report. Importance of Toxic Release Inventory From the “Top Five Facilities by Total Disposal” in your city, choose one facility and describe the company and the reasons you think it uses such a large amount of hazardous chemicals. Choose one chemical from the list of “Top Five Chemicals Released to Air and Water” and discuss its toxicity to humans and the environment. Use legitimate websites such as the Environment Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), or other U.S. government agency websites, or international organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO). Looking at the map of TRI facilities in your city, do you think there is an environmental justice issue in your city? Discuss and support your answer with evidence. Your paper should be 3–4 pages in length (excluding cover page and reference page). Use APA format to style your paper and to cite your sources. Your sources should be integrated into the paragraphs. Use internal citations pointing to evidence in the literature and supporting your ideas. You will need to include a reference page listing those sources. You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect. I do not accept assignments that are two or more weeks late unless we have worked out an extension. As per policy, no assignments are accepted after the last day of class. Any assignment submitted after midnight on the last day of class will not be accepted for grading. Communication Communication is so very important. There are multiple ways to communicate with me: Questions to Instructor Forum: This is a great place to ask course content or assignment questions. If you have a question, there is a good chance one of your peers does as well. This is a public forum for the class. Individual Forum: This is a private forum to ask me questions or send me messages. This will be checked at least once every 24 hours. Get a 10 % discount on an order above $ 100 Use the following coupon code : NURSING10

Focus of paper must be 51% prior to 21st century. Conclusion of paper should be about modern attitudes. Try to focus on attitudes within the United States but some information from other countries is okay too. Also need to incorporate the following references in APA format. Please add other references as well and APA citations. History of Downs Syndrome history homework Down Syndrome Human and Civil Rights Timeline. (2015).

But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes. Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages. Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor. The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CLASS Discussion Questions (DQ) Initial responses to the DQ should address all components of the questions asked, include a minimum of one scholarly source, and be at least 250 words. Successful responses are substantive (i.e., add something new to the discussion, engage others in the discussion, well-developed idea) and include at least one scholarly source. One or two sentence responses, simple statements of agreement or “good post,” and responses that are off-topic will not count as substantive. Substantive responses should be at least 150 words. I encourage you to incorporate the readings from the week (as applicable) into your responses. Weekly Participation Your initial responses to the mandatory DQ do not count toward participation and are graded separately. In addition to the DQ responses, you must post at least one reply to peers (or me) on three separate days, for a total of three replies. Participation posts do not require a scholarly source/citation (unless you cite someone else’s work). Part of your weekly participation includes viewing the weekly announcement and attesting to watching it in the comments. These announcements are made to ensure you understand everything that is due during the week. APA Format and Writing Quality Familiarize yourself with APA format and practice using it correctly. It is used for most writing assignments for your degree. Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for APA paper templates, citation examples, tips, etc. Points will be deducted for poor use of APA format or absence of APA format (if required). Cite all sources of information! When in doubt, cite the source. Paraphrasing also requires a citation. I highly recommend using the APA Publication Manual, 6th edition. Use of Direct Quotes I discourage overutilization of direct quotes in DQs and assignments at the Masters’ level and deduct points accordingly. As Masters’ level students, it is important that you be able to critically analyze and interpret information from journal articles and other resources. Simply restating someone else’s words does not demonstrate an understanding of the content or critical analysis of the content. It is best to paraphrase content and cite your source. LopesWrite Policy For assignments that need to be submitted to LopesWrite, please be sure you have received your report and Similarity Index (SI) percentage BEFORE you do a “final submit” to me. Once you have received your report, please review it. This report will show you grammatical, punctuation, and spelling errors that can easily be fixed. Take the extra few minutes to review instead of getting counted off for these mistakes. Review your similarities. Did you forget to cite something? Did you not paraphrase well enough? Is your paper made up of someone else’s thoughts more than your own? Visit the Writing Center in the Student Success Center, under the Resources tab in LoudCloud for tips on improving your paper and SI score. Late Policy The university’s policy on late assignments is 10% penalty PER DAY LATE. This also applies to late DQ replies. Please communicate with me if you anticipate having to submit an assignment late. I am happy to be flexible, with advance notice. We may be able to work out an extension based on extenuating circumstances. If you do not communicate with me before submitting an assignment late, the GCU late policy will be in effect.

Discussion: incentive system employed by Wells Fargo

Discussion: incentive system employed by Wells Fargo Discussion: incentive system employed by Wells Fargo What about the incentive system employed by Wells Fargo resulted in massive creation of fake accounts by the retail operation This week we looked at the principle-agent problem and what went wrong at Wells Fargo. On March 28, 2019, Tim Sloan, the CEO of Wells Fargo, who was supposed to restore the bank’s reputation, stepped down. After a very poor showing by Sloan in testimony about the bank before Congress and with long-standing restrictions by the Federal Reserve still in place, the bank seems unable to overcome the crisis created by a whole collection of deceptive practices which rose to the level of fraud. (For more information, refer to the 2018 article ”Fed Won’t Lift Wells’ Growth Cap Until Deficiencies Are Fixed: Powell” from American Banker.) ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS On October 21, 2019, Charles Scharf officially assumed the role of CEO.

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Discussion

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Discussion ORDER NOW FOR CUSTOMIZED AND ORIGINAL ESSAY PAPERS ON Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Discussion Discussion Questions: Explain what ARDS is. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Discussion Explain what is significant with her lab results using the ABG normal values and the nursing mnemonic ROME which was also referenced in week #2 of this course. Explain what an appropriate treatment would be. Case Study: Mrs. Breathless is a 43-year-old female, just getting off the late shift. She reports to the ER in the early morning with shortness of breath. She has cyanosis of the lips. She has had a productive cough for 2 weeks. Her temperature is 102.2, blood pressure 110/76, heart rate 108, respiration 32, rapid and shallow. Breath sounds are diminished in both bases, with coarse rhonchi in the upper lobes. Chest X-ray indicates bilateral pneumonia. ABG (Arterial Blood Gases) Lab results are: pH= 7.44 PaCO2= 28 HCO3= 24 PaO2= 54 Note: rhonchi are continuous low pitched rattling lung sounds that often resemble snoring or wheezes. Problems: PaCO2 is low. pH is on the high side of normal, therefore compensated respiratory alkalosis . Also, PaO2 is low, probably due to mucous displacing air in the alveoli affected by the pneumonia. You must proofread your paper.
