  • “Critical Analysis of Selected Articles: A Two-Part Term Paper Assignment”

    In addition to the exams, all students will be required to write two three-page term
    papers on articles that they must read on their own. You must choose one article to read for
    each paper. I want to see three pages or more of writing in each of these papers. The term
    papers should be typed and double spaced, using a Times New Roman font of 12. There
    should be a title page and one-inch margins should be utilized throughout the paper. Students
    will be given a list of articles to choose from that will be posted in the class web page. All of
    the articles in the list will be posted as PDF files in the class web page. You should be able
    to open each one to look at an article. You must not use other sources to write these
    papers. These papers must be submitted as Microsoft Word file attachments in the
    Assignments page of the class web page by June 14th and June 21st. I will not accept any
    papers that are sent to me by e-mail. I will not accept any late assignments or extra credit
    work. In regard to the term papers, students need to discuss what is the article about, what is
    the author trying to argue, and what are your thoughts. I will not accept any late work. Also,
    please make sure to use Microsoft Word when you type your papers. If any other word
    processing program is utilized, I may not be able to open your file and grade your work.
    Unless I indicate otherwise, I take off one point for each error that I see and that includes
    grammar, punctuation, spelling, errors in spacing and incorrect margins. I also do not want
    to see any quotes or quotations in any paper that is turned in to me. I take off two points for
    each quote that I see in a paper. Also, plagiarism will not be tolerated. Anyone committing
    this offense will be given an F in their paper. Any paper that you turn in to me must be
    written entirely in your own words. Which means that the use of any Artificial Intelligence
    (AI) will also not be tolerated.  

  • “Uncovering the Molecular Mechanisms of Oncogene-Memory in Drug-Resistant Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia: A Systems Biology Approach”

    Chronic myeloid leukaemia (CML) is associated with the BCR-ABL oncogene with 750 patients diagnosed yearly in the UK. Treatment with Imatinib Mesylate (IM), which inhibits the activity of BCR-ABL, has been clinically successful yet ~20% of patients develop drug resistance with imminent death occurring within 12-months.
    Given the genetic plasticity of innate immune cells, as well as the clinical observations of drug resistance, it is tempting to speculate that leukaemic myeloid cells can be reprogrammed to become BCR-ABL independent. Definitive proof of such oncogenic programming of the myeloid genome has been lacking.
    We established drug resistant clones from the KCL22 cell model; each recapitulating the clinical observations with BCR-ABL activity abolished by IM yet the cells continue to survive. Oncogene-memory was determined by siRNA knockdown approaches whereby targeting of BCR-ABL protein in parental cells induced immediate cell death while drug resistant derivatives continue to grow and survive.
    Objectives:
    Molecular characterise the newly reprogrammed gene network that establishes oncogene-memory
    Target specific biological pathways of the defined oncogene-memory (cell cycle, metabolism) in attempts to induce apoptosis thus laying the foundation for future generations of novel therapies.
    The project will employ a systems-biology approach (genome wide expression analysis, bio-informatics and shRNA technology) with the specific aims to (i) identify regulatory factors whose expression is dysregulated as a direct consequence of BCR-ABL activity and (ii) attempt to rescue the developmental block by restoring the functional activity of these dysregulated genes.

  • “Addressing Malpractice and Ethical Issues in Healthcare: A Case Study Analysis and Recommendations for Improvement”

    Your case study should be a 4- to 6-page Microsoft Word document with 12-point Times New Roman font and one-inch margins. All citations and references should be formatted according to the most recent APA guidelines.
    please review/add
    -Good choice in an ethical theory.  I would be sure to tie the theory directly to this case.  
    -Good discussion on an SDM.  What specific SDM would you want to address here?  
    Introduction:
    Summarize the selected case, including information on the stakeholders involved, the problem, and the time period in which the incident occurred.
    Medical Malpractice Component: In this section, you will evaluate the case to address the legal components, the malpractice policies similar to this case, and the standard of care given to the patient and how it was breached. Then, you will draw connections to how this malpractice case impacted stakeholders and healthcare consumers outside of the case.
    Explain the key legal components of the case, including the nature of the issue and the rules that applied.
    Determine relevant malpractice policies in place for addressing the issues within the case.
    Analyze the malpractice case for the standard of care provided to the victim. Be sure to apply what the law states about standard of care to support whether or not it was breached in the case.
    Analyze how the malpractice case would impact healthcare consumers from different cultural backgrounds. For example, would this case have a similar impact on a person from a culture different from the one in the case? How could this incident change the views of these healthcare consumers toward the healthcare system?
    Assess the malpractice case for accountability based on its severity. To what extent was the healthcare provider held accountable?
    Ethical Component: In this section, you will evaluate the case to identify the specific ethical issues and determine ethical theories and shared decision- making models that would help resolve the issue and provide a safe, quality healthcare experience. Then, you will propose and defend ethical guidelines for healthcare providers to follow in order to avoid future incidents.
    Describe the ethical issues that led to the malpractice case and explain why the issues are credited with causing the incident. Support your response with research and relevant examples from the case.
    Describe an ethical theory that would help resolve the issue and provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient. Support your response with research and relevant examples from the case.
    Select a physician–patient shared decision-making model and explain how it would provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient.
    Propose ethical guidelines that would have helped prevent the incident and would help the organization prevent future incidents.
    Defend how your proposed ethical guidelines will hold healthcare providers accountable to themselves, their profession, their patients, and the public.
    Recommendations: In this section, you will utilize the knowledge you gained from your malpractice and ethical analyses to recommend and defend strategies that would help improve medical practices and avoid future liability.
    Recommend preventative strategies the healthcare provider could implement to avoid liability in the future.
    Defend how your recommended preventative strategies would assist the healthcare provider in avoiding liability and provide a safe, quality healthcare experience for the patient.

  • Title: Exploring the Complexities of Social Issues: A Personal Perspective on Language and Power, Freedom and Security, and Health and Wealth “The Balancing Act: Navigating the Interplay between Freedom and Security in the Digital Age”

    Step 1: Submission (earn up to 100% of the possible points for the assignment)
    Your submission should include all of the following components:
    Content
    Describe a “real life” instance of your selected social issue in a professional or a personal setting.
    Discuss your perspective on your selected social issue, including the reasons for your viewpoint.
    Discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue.
    Demonstrate that you are really thinking about your issue—don’t settle for easy answers, don’t pretend that conflicting evidence doesn’t exist, and don’t feel that you have to take an either-or position.
    Discuss the complexities of your selected social issue. For example, do not just conclude that using academic language is always good, or that government surveillance is always bad, or that wealth automatically leads to health. Think about the intricacies of these issues and how they play out in everyday life.
    Organization
    Include an introductory paragraph, where you clearly outline a “real-life” instance of your social issue and you give a thesis statement that indicates your perspective (see learning resource: Writing Your Introduction for an example).
    Include 3-5 body paragraphs where you include details, examples, and quotes from at least three of the course readings and two additional readings to help you develop and support your key points (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example). 
    Include one body paragraph where you discuss how your core values inform or influence your perspective on your selected social issue (see learning resource: Writing Your Body Paragraphs for an example).
    End your essay with a concluding paragraph where you restate your thesis, summarize your key points, and leave the reader with the “so what?” (see learning resource: Writing Your Conclusion for an example).
    Language Choices
    As a writer, you are free to decide how you use language, keeping the following in mind:
    style: your language choices should result in a consistent writing style that is purposeful and aligned with your goals
    readability: your language choices should ensure that your ideas are clear and easy to follow
    When composing your paper, think about the conventions for academic writing, including:
    punctuation: this includes things such as recommended use of commas, colons, and apostrophes.
    word-level accuracy: this includes things such as capitalization, spelling, word-tense, and usage.
    sentence-level accuracy: this includes things such as sentence boundaries, subject-verb agreement, and pronoun-antecedent agreement.
    Take time to review your language choices after you’ve written your essay. Think about your goals for the style of this essay and your own writing habits (like using “text-speak,” omitting capitalization, or writing sentence fragments). Revise as necessary to accomplish your style and readability goals.
    Reading your paper aloud is helpful technique when reviewing your language choices for style and readability.
    Sources and Documentation
    To earn the maximum possible points on this assignment, use and cite at least five sources:
    Use and cite three of the assigned course readings on your selected issue (language and power; freedom and security; health and wealth). Sources from the assigned readings do not require a reference list for this assignment.
    Use and cite two more sources (course readings or otherwise). Sources that are not from the assigned readings must be listed at the end of the paper on a reference page. List author, year of publication, title, and URL. Full APA format is not required for the reference page.
    In-text citations for all sources should be in APA style.
    These examples show options for citing a paraphrase:
    This is a paraphrased sentence (Author, year).
    Author (year) explains that ….
    These examples show options for citing a quote:
    A recent study showed that “this is the quoted passage” (Author, year, p./para. number).
    Author (year) explains, “this is the quoted passage” (p./para. number).
    Note that it is possible to earn a B (up to 85%) on this assignment by using only three sources from the course readings and no reference page. To earn an A (up to 100%) will require an additional two sources and reference page, if needed.
    Format and Length
    At the top of the page, include your name, the assignment name, and a title that reflects your specific essay focus. (See example below.)
    Your paper should be typed, double-spaced and in 12-point font.
    Your final product should be a minimum of six paragraphs (about 900-1100 words) in length. However, the quality of the content of this essay is most important. Be sure to fully answer the prompt.
