 Drug Treatments for HIV/AIDS

 
While HIV/AIDS is still currently incurable, the prognosis for patients with this infectious disease has improved due to advancements in drug treatments. Consider the case of Kristy Aney. Kristy was diagnosed with HIV in 1992 and was told she would survive, at most, 10 more years. Despite unfavorable odds, Kristy is still alive 20 years later. Since her diagnosis, she has witnessed tremendous improvements in HIV/AIDS treatments which have helped patients live longer with fewer side effects. While she acknowledges that these drug treatments have kept her alive, she fears that improvements in drug therapy have led to more people becoming complacent about the disease (Idaho Statesmen, 2012). In fact, the number of people living with HIV/AIDS in the United States is higher than it has ever been (CDC, 2012). This poses the question: Is there a relationship between drug advancements, societal complacency, and infection?

To prepare:
•Review Chapter 48 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text, as well as the Krummenacher et al. and Scourfield articles in the Learning Resources.
•Reflect on whether or not the prevalence of HIV cases might be attributed to increased complacency due to more advanced drug treatment options for HIV/AIDS.
•Consider how health care professionals can help to change perceptions and make people more aware of the realities of the disease.
•Think about strategies to educate HIV positive patients on medication adherence, as well as safe practices to reduce the risk of infecting others.

Post on or before Day 3 an explanation of whether or not you think the prevalence of HIV cases might be attributed to increased complacency due to more advanced drug treatment options.Then, explain how health care professionals can help to change perceptions and increase awareness of the realities of the disease. Finally, describe strategies to educate HIV positive patients on medication adherence, as well as safe practices to reduce the risk of infecting others.

All resources must be less than 5 years old.

From  No unread replies. No replies.
After reading the characterizations of the plowman, friar, and franklin (landowner) compare and contrast their personalities. Are they pleasing or unpleasing according to their social status? Class status? Do you feel they are stereotypical according to what you read in the “Historical Overview”? Does your reading of the plowman add or take away from your perspectives of a farmer or farming?

Validity and Test Development

 
A review paper describes many published research studies on a particular topic. For this project, you will be critiquing an article that is a review paper (Mitchell, 2012) related to external validity of psychological research. External validity refers to the generalizability of results of a study and how well those results will hold up outside a laboratory setting in the real world.
Complete a three- to four-page paper that summarizes the main points and findings. Describe it in a scholarly (using critical thinking) manner, but also in a way that someone from outside the area can understand. Be sure to include the reference of the paper in your submission.

Antimicrobial Agents

 
Week 8 Assignment
Application: Antimicrobial Agents

Antimicrobial agents are essential components in the treatment of various bacterial infections as they help to kill or prevent the growth of microbes such as bacteria, fungi, and protozoans. Prior to the discovery of antimicrobial agents, treatment options for patients with bacterial infections were limited. For many patients, treatment often resulted in the amputation of limbs or even death. Today, treatment options for bacterial infections typically have a more positive prognosis. Due to the various types of infections presented in patients, it is essential to be able to identify the underlying cause of the infection—whether bacterial or viral—before recommending drug treatments. This will help you identify whether or not an antimicrobial agent would be appropriate and which specific agent would target the infection. In this Assignment, you consider the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents for infections.

To prepare:

•Review this week’s media presentation on principles of antimicrobial therapy, as well as Chapter 8 of the Arcangelo and Peterson text.
•Consider the categories of antimicrobial agents.
•Think about differences between viral and bacterial infections.
•Reflect on why proper identification of the infection is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

To complete:

Write a 2- to 3- page paper that addresses the following:
•Describe the categories of antimicrobial agents.
•Describe differences between viral and bacterial infections.
•Explain why proper identification of viral and bacterial infections is key to selecting the proper antimicrobial agent.

: Combat status and deployments on subsequents domestic violence within heterosexual couples of military veterans

 
The only edit is the section of methodology. And here is what the concern is:
This topic is not approved pending additional detail about the methodology. Because the General Psychology program does not provide clinical training nor does it assess the clinical skills of its learners, studies that involve participants that may be vulnerable and at risk for clinically defined problems are not appropriate. Given the large number of post-combat veterans who suffer from diagnosed or undiagnosed PTSD and diagnosed or This study’s topic involves topic appropriate for the clinical program and is an important topic. So two action items:

1. Determine how this study might be conducted anonymously and thus not require a signed consent form. By requiring a signature the participants’ identities are provided and increase the risk of prosocial responses as well as reduces the researcher’s level of contact with those participants which may fall into the vulnerable category.
2. Consult with the IRB to determine if there are any problems with this suggestion.

Juvenile process

Mary Jane went shopping on Sunday night with her brother and sister from 7 to 9 p.m. She happened to be shopping in the same shopping center that had a burglary at 8 p.m. Sunday night. The next day, while sitting in class, juvenile officers came and detained her for the burglary. They took her to a juvenile detention center and screened her for any prior illegal activity. Mary Jane had never been in trouble previously, so they let her go home with her parents with a notation of the time to come to juvenile court. Mary Jane insists that she had no part in the burglary.

Primary Task : Write 400–600 words that respond to the following questions with your thoughts, ideas, and comments. Be substantive and clear, and use examples to reinforce your ideas:
1-Do you feel that most people have a predisposition toward teenagers (e.g., they are always looking for trouble)? Why or why not?
2-Do you think this is ever a reasonable belief? Why or why not?
3-Regarding the scenario above, how do you think that might she prove her innocence? Explain.

—What evidence do you think might exist that could prove that she is innocent? Explain.

—Considering that she is a juvenile, how do you think that evidence will hold up in the court? Explain.
*Remember to fully support your arguments with scholarly resources.
