Introduction

Cerebral Palsy Cerebral palsy is a physical disability that results from damage to the brain during development that negatively impacts the functional development of children14. Characteristics of cerebral palsy include an inability to control the body’s motor functioning with a potential to affect speech, learning, environmental exploration, and the skills required for independent living. In addition, these patients have delays in reaching milestones for gross motor development with problems moving such as weakness, spasticity, and impaired selective motor control27. Children born with the disability have varying levels of impairment, and while it usually develops by age three, it ...

The ultimate goal of Minimally Invasive Multivessel Coronary Surgery (MICS) is treating multivessel coronary artery diseases in an endoscopic manner. There is sufficient progress made in minimally invasive surgery where the burden of the patient is minimized to a lower amount. Rodriguez & Ruel, (2016) in their observation notes that in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), minimally invasive surgery is used for assistance in minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass grafting (MICS-CABG) as well as robot-assisted CABG. In MICS-CABG, the surgeon positions small incision than under conventional surgery and conducts the operation on a beating heart. Almost 2.8 vessels are ...

Abdominal Pain

Acute abdominal pain is a common presenting complaint. It can be due to a range of conditions some of which are benign and self-limiting and others life-threatening medical/surgical emergencies (Cartwright and Knudson, 2008). This paper will address the issue of abdominal pain from a paramedicine perspective in reference to a 29 year old male patient who presents with this complaint. It will interrogate the provided information and identify other essential information that is needed, three differential diagnoses for the patient, and the pathophysiology of the most probable diagnosis. Lastly, the implications of the case on paramedicine practice will be ...

All Americans are afforded freedom and safety to live their lives, but unfortunately, this is not the case for the LGBT (Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender) community, specifically speaking the use of public restrooms. It is all too common for them to endure harassment and even violence while attempting to live their lives in peace. We owe it to ourselves to discuss a way forward in public policy and our societal norms, so they do not have to continue to live in fear. The originators of our constructed surroundings have made open offices that are isolated by sexual orientation, ...

Transcriptional regulation of gene expression

Gene expression in eukaryotic cells is regulated at transcriptional, post transcriptional and translational levels (Tomizawa,  Lekstrom-Himes, and Xanthopoulos 17). Transcriptional control is the primary means of regulating gene expression. Eukaryotic transcriptional control functions at three levels: modulation of the activities of activators and repressors; variations in chromatin structure; and effect of activators and repressors on assembly of initiation complexes (Lodish et al. 368). Regulation of transcription initiation is the most widespread form of gene control in eukaryotes. However, in some cases, transcription may be attenuated and regulated at subsequent steps, such as during or after the transcription process (Cooper ...

Compare The Pathophysiology Of Chronic Venous Insufficiency And Deep Venous Thrombosis. Describe How Venous Thrombosis Is Different From Arterial Thrombosis. There are various similarities and differences between the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency and deep venous thrombosis. In order to appreciate the pathophysiology of chronic venous insufficiency, it’s important to understand the peripheral venous systems which act as a reservoir and conduit system for storing blood and returning it to the heart. For this system to function properly, it needs a series of valves and muscular pumps that convey blood from the lower-extremity levels of the venous system, ...

Urinary System

Kidneys are the main organs of the urinary system that filter around 200 liters of blood and purify it through excreting excessive water, toxins, electrolytes and metabolic wastes that assist in maintaining body’s fluid equilibrium. The other components of the urinary system are ureters, urethra and urinary bladder (Marieb & Hoehn, 2003). The urinary system can be differentiated into main four parts, kidney, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Kidneys are secured by the tri-layered arrangement that includes an outer renal fascia composed of fibrous connective tissues, a middle ...

Diuretics targets to lower sodium and water reabsorption that may lead to enhanced water excretion. The main aim of diuretics is to reduce the fluid volume inside the body and maintain the electrolyte and water equilibrium. These agents are used for managing the pathological conditions including hypertension and edema such as cardiac congestion failure, liver and kidney problems, and glaucoma. It also helps in processing and regulating the blood pressure by eliminating the excessive salt from the body which slows down the cardiac muscles to impel the ...

In the following work we are going to analyze two video clips representing child’s development in the symbolic social environment. The action in the first video clip, “Cats and Dogs,” takes place in the preschool classroom. There are three girls participating in the play. They use the classroom environment as the environment of their play. However, none of the furniture in the room is used for their actions, they imitate all the things that they are and they are going to use. The girls do not use any additional material for their play either, they just decide which ...

Osteosarcoma, also known as osteogenic sarcoma, is a bone tumor commonly found in the childhood and adolescence. It has been commonly reported in patients in the age range of 15 to 19 years. Incidence of the disease is almost similar for both males and females. This disease develops in bone-generating mesenchymal cells (Huether & McCance, 2013).

Causes of Osteosarcoma

Rapid local growth can result in osteosarcoma and can increase the chances of mutation. Ionizing radiation, even in low doses, can become the cause of rapid local growth. It has been reported that even therapeutic radiations for other forms of cancer ...

Introduction

The aim of this study is to assess whether drug use in a domestic violence situation alters perception of who is at fault in the situation. The anticipated results of this study believe that drug use among the victims in a domestic violence situation will lead outside individuals to believe the victim had some sort of fault in the situation. In other words, researchers believe that drugs impact outside perception of the victim in a domestic violence situation and whether or not they are actually at fault.

The prime motif behind learning interventions is that they stimulate and catalyze the pace of cognitive learning for children. The zone of proximal development, as explained by Lev Vygotsky , is the difference of capabilities of a learner when aided by external influence and on his own. However, there is another theory of learning intervention which says that the development of learning can be stimulated at an individual’s level when his experiences help him in understanding things (Ultanir 196). This essay proposes the utility of Constructivism which says that human beings are better learner of that information which they ...

Analysis of a Human Development Theory and a Family Development Theory of the Movie “Robin Hood: Men in Tights”

Introduction

Mel Gibson’s “Robin Hood: Men in Tights” parodies the previous movies based on the legend of Robin Hood and because of its themes and motifs it imposes an analyses in terms of human development and family development. Two of the motifs of the movie were the kindness, yet the foolishness of the poor people, who are unaware of their mass force – portrayed by Little John, the giant with little brain, yet with a kind heart and a huge courage and changing social condition, ...

A. Thomson presents the case of the sick violinist in his defense of abortion. The proposition identifies that an individual wakes up in the morning and is next to an unconscious violinist (Thomson 114). Assuming that a plugged connection that saves their life is the only way that the violinist will live, the question arises whether there is a moral obligation to the individual to sustain lie for the violinist despite the personal atrophy that is simultaneously caused (Thomson 114).

In this case it is evident that the violinist does not have a right to life and medical assistance just because ...

Formation of bone during foetal development occurs through the process of ossification. This process is extremely important to proper bone length, density, and uniform skeletal formation. It is driven by a complex network of genes that code for signalling proteins whose function is to turn the ossification process on, off, or slow it down. Defects in these genes can cause problems with the ossification process, and can lead to conditions of skeletal dysplasia (improper formation of bone). One such condition is Achondroplasia, one of the most common forms of dwarfism, or congenital short stature (Lister Hill National Centre for Biomedical ...

1) Experiential cognition refers to activities we are skilled at which we can do without having to think, given our innate experience with them. Reflective cognition takes time and effort, as people have to actively think about their actions in order to accomplish them. This latter one is better for good academic performance, as reflective cognition can deal with more complicated problems, and is essentially the process by which we learn new things. 2) The two criteria for critical thinking are 1) the existing skills to generate and process beliefs and information, and

2) the ability to use those ...

1. Various theories of child development are utilized to examine physical and other aspects of child growth and psychological development. Some major child development theories include maturational theory, Piaget’s cognitive theory and ecological theory, three of several theories that are used to explore child development and learning.

Maturational, or maturationist theory, advanced primarily by Arnold Gesell, is sometimes classified under the broader umbrella of biological theories. Maturational theory, one of the earliest theories that arose from the study of children and their development, is based on the biological maturation of children, or their physical and psychological changes. ...

Summary – Customized learning theory

Teaching pedagogy and style goes hand in hand with the variety of learning styles. A teacher has to formulate teaching strategies which will best cater to the learning needs of the children, which is why its highly important particularly for high school teachers to adapt the effective use of educational psychology (Slavin, 2012).

Effective teaching strategies and direct instruction for ADHD students is one of the key factors for promoting learning (Slavin, 2012). Direct instruction should be clear, to the point and consistent in order to facilitate effective learning. Ability grouping methods such as social learning groups and the ...

1. When placed on an agar slab and incubated at 30°C for 2 days, a single yeast cell proliferates into a colony with a diameter of 2 mm containing 108 yeast cells. If the cell has a functional Ade2 gene (Ade2+), the colony will be white; if Ade2 is non-functional (Ade2–), the colony will be red. You take a strain with a mutant Ade2– at the regular chromosomal position (red colonies) and insert a second, functional Ade2+ gene near the telomere. You find that the colonies are a mixture of red and white patches or sectors. Figure 1 shows some colonies; the black regions represent the ...

Heath offers insights for use in the dissertation study for investigating any difficulties in the area of Americans learning Arabic. This study specifically addresses the learner and his/her creativity in Arabic communicative competence as it applies toward competently completing both the DLI course and the OPI (Heath, 1987).

Alptekin (2002) discusses the notion of communicative competence that suggests that native-speaker competence is the metric by which communicative competence is decided. Alptekin argues that this particular norm creates an unrealistic and utopian model for language learning that makes it impossible for SLA to be considered complete or sufficient. Native speakership ...

Abstract

Human development is an area that has been one of the most discussed areas of study in the last one century. Cognitive development of a person from childhood days to adult years was studied extensively by a Swedish psychologist Jean Piaget. He is known as the father of cognitive development theories. His four stages of cognitive development, sensori-motor, pre-operational, concrete, and formal, are still considered to be the foundation of the cognitive development process. Piaget’s theory does not touch upon why individuals develop at a different rate or why there are different developmental stages. Vygotsky, on the other hand, proposed a completely ...

Have learning styles changed over time? If we think about Gardner’s multiple intelligences, or the range of learning styles that have been identified since the second half of the twentieth century, some might say ‘yes’. But, in fact, people have not changed so drastically since the institutionalization of formal schooling in the 18th Century, or since the onset of the Internet generation (otherwise known as the Millennials). What has enabled the genesis of learning styles to emerge is a better understanding of pedagogy. For far too long the only way to learn was through the sage on the stage ...

Introduction

There had been many innovations for developing equipment that could deliver nutrients or even doses of medications inside a person’s body. One of these developed medical devices is the infusion pump. Infusion pumps are used to deliver nutrients and medications, such as antibiotics and pain killers. They can also be used to administer chemotherapy drugs which, if not administered properly, can be the difference between life and death for the patient (Brady). Infusion devices are usually classified based on the power source used and could be either of two types: gravity controllers or infusion pumps. Gravity controllers, which ...

Abstract

Diabetes is a disease in which glucose levels are elevated to a huge amount in the body. More than 25 million people having 20 years of age and more than 20 years in the U.S. are found to have diabetes that is three times more than the number of patients in 1980. Scientists have found that diabetes can result in increased chances of developing colonic cancer equally in men and women (Sun & Kashyap, 2011). Different mechanisms such as hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, central adiposity, increased growth factors, hyperglycemia, and several luminal factors have been proposed that are involved in the development ...

Education is a process that combines both the environmental and personal experiences and influences for gaining, inspiring and transforming a person’s values, skills, behavior and attitudes. Several education theorists have come up with different education theories including cognitive, behaviorists, socio-constructivism, social learning, constructivism, situated learning and community practice theories . These theories develop hypotheses that describe how the learning process will take place. Situated learning theorists believe that there is no learning that is not situated. These theorists recognize that learning occurs most effectively within communities through community interactions such as relations, building trust, problem-solving and cooperation. Socio-constructivism theory holds that ...

Abstract

Amnesia usually originates from memory loss as a result of particular situations, mostly brain illness, injury, or psychological trauma. Memory loss is frequently the most disabling attribute of numerous disorders, weakening the ordinary day by day actions of the patients and intensely distressing the people (Madan, 2011). Amnesia is based on the proximal cause of the injury such as psychogenic amnesia and organic amnesia. This paper discusses psychogenic amnesia, its causes and its types including the psychogenic fugue and psychogenic focal retrograde amnesia. Psychogenic amnesia was then differentiated from retrograde and organic type of amnesia. Psychogenic amnesia is ...

Cognitive theory focuses on the advancement of an individual’s intellect processes, and the role they play in influencing our interaction with the universe. Lev Vygotsky, a Russian teacher and scholar, believed that the interaction of individuals and social happenings, such as, cultures and different communication methods, did have an impact on the creation of individual understanding. Vygotsky carried out various studies to prove his belief that social learning was a major factor that promoted cognitive development. He based his studies on three concepts. The first one provided that individual intellect advancement originated from social bases while the second one ...

Lev Vygotsky was a Russian psychologist. In particular, he studied the process of children’s assimilation of new skills and knowledge, and his theory turned out to be very interesting for the teachers of the West. Vygotsky's ideas in their important aspects agree with the intuitive understanding of teachers of the process of training and learning. These ideas, in particular, question the approach involving the separation of pupils in the learning process and on the basis of ability. Vygotsky believed that the interaction of students with different abilities and accomplishments plays a significant positive role in the development of cognitive and ...

The regeneration of nerves throughout the human body has been a subject of much interest in biology recently. The unique characteristics of both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS) provide insights into the mechanisms occurring after once damage occurs. A good understanding of tThe differences between these mechanisms also may lead to new therapies for nerve-damaged patients, including stroke patients. Following injury, the nerves in the CNS of an adult mammal will not regenerate, while the PNS will. These differences appear in every stage of axon regeneration. Within hours of axotomy, the PNS begins ...

Abstract

Bones are formed through a process known as osteogenesis from three different lineages. This process takes place through two different methods, which are intramembranous ossification and endochondral ossification. A large increment in bone mass takes place in childhood, as well as puberty, through the formation of endochondral bone. At this point, growth hormones are known to play a role. This paper will focus on the process of cartilage and bone formation and the stimulation of bone formation by the growth hormone. There are a number of factors that regulate the formation of bone, while growth hormone affects a number of factors related to ...

Q1. Anaphylaxis identification, management and prevention

Anaphylaxis is referred to as an allergic reaction encompassing anaphylactic shock as a severe manifestation of the said allergic reaction according to Sinclair (2010). The average number of the people believed to be at risk of the aforementioned condition is about 1 to 15% if exposed to certain allergens. Experts believe that the estimated figures vary depending on the definitions of reaction (allergyfacts.org.au, n.d.). During an anaphylactic attack, the patient’s body reacts badly to allergens causing by food, venom, medication, and or insect bite. The body has a natural defense mechanism that fights the allergic ...

Introduction

Apart from the disagreements that exist between psychologists as regards to the nature that intelligence takes, psychologists always debate on various aspects that influence the intelligence of a person. As such, this debate always takes one direction in coming up with the arguments. The psychologists always argue on which aspect between the ‘nature’ and ‘nurture’ has a bigger impact on a person’s intelligence. Although the psychologists agree that all the two aspects above contribute to the intelligence of an individual, they always differ when they try to discuss on how much these aspects contribute. This is a field that the psychologists and ...

Lev Vygotsky believed that the way of life as a child is raised by influences in the operations of the child development. Every child learns actively and through hands – on experiences. A child development is a social constructivism and the development is determined by culture. Children are active learners and their knowledge is constructed socially. Its cultural values and customs dictate the importance of learning; children learn from expert members of the society who are responsible of higher order functions such as parents, peers, caregivers, and the culture at large and the zone of proximal development in learning occurs. It ...

Introduction

The kidneys refer to the organs that are involved with several important regulatory roles in vertebrate animals. Kidneys play a crucial role in the urinary system as well as in the homeostatic functions such as electrolyte regulation, maintaining a balance between the acids and bases, and in regulating blood pressure. Kidneys filter the blood removing wastes, which are then taken to the urinary bladder as urine. During urine production, wastes such as ammonia and urea are excreted while substances such as glucose, water and amino acids reabsorbed. The kidney is also responsible for the production of hormones such as erythropoietin and ...

A condition affecting the system of veins in legs with venous hypertension resulting in different pathologies that involve swelling, ulcerations, pain, skin changes, and edema is called chronic venous insufficiency (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). It is necessary to understand normal venous function and anatomy to analyze the venous insufficiencies pathology. The peripheral venous system serves as a conduit returns blood into the heart and as a reservoir where blood is stored. Appropriate operation of the peripheral venous system is dependent on a series of muscle pumps and valves (Eberhardt and Raffetto, 2005). Blood entering the venous system of lower extremities has ...

A summary of chapter eight

Chapter eight, authoring ourselves, presents ideas on Bakhtin’s concepts of self-fashioning. The concepts allow an individual to verbalize alternative visions within ourselves especially in the context of our inner dialogues where we are ever forming new identities. The central organizing principle called dialogism that expresses our inner dialogues in attempts to respond to the stimuli from our natural environments. The chapter puts it that language is not only an abstract semiotic system but also an ideology and a perspective that has been lived on the world. Of importance is the sentiment that in creating meaning out of what we ...

Social-Cultural Theory

Lev Vygotsky is often known for his socio-cultural theory of psychological development. His theory has been applicable to children/adolescents in real-life settings such as schools, parent-child interactions such as parenting behaviors or therapy done with children in clinical settings. According to Berk (2012), Vygotsky’s theory is based on five major theses. First is that development of individuals takes place during the early formative years, and has a specifically historical content, character and form. This means that development differs with when and where one grows up. Second, development takes place during alterations in an individual’s social situation or during ...

Abstract

Undeniably, alcohol abuse in the current society has brought untold sufferings to many families. Worse still, the sufferings are left unmentioned thereby creating the foundations for proliferating the vice. Although many theories have been put forward to explain the relationships between alcohol abuse and domestic violence, no finger can be pointed to a particular factor as being the root cause of the increased cases of domestic violence in New York City. However, increased cases of domestic violence in New York City can be associated to the increasing rates of alcohol consumption. Due to recent financial crisis New Yorkers have turned ...

Introduction

In pediatrics, several conditions could present with abdominal pain hence becoming a medical emergency. Intussusceptions are a pediatric ailment, which could also become a medical emergency if not manage properly on time. Intussusceptions can be described as a disorder, which present with "telescoping or invagination of a proximal portion of intestine into the more distal part and subsequently leading to bowel obstruction" (Irish, 2011). The proximal portion of the intestine is termed the intussusceptum while the distal portion termed intussuscipiens. This gastrointestinal condition result into inflammation and obstruction. The related concept or factors considered in this case for the diagnosis is the triad ...

The emotional, economic, and physical costs of domestic violence on the perpetrators, victims, and those surrounding them have been documented. According to Weinsheimer et al. (2005), Alcohol is the mostly used and abused substance in the United States and the drug most commonly associated with domestic violence. The United States Department of Justice (2008) reports that ...

Abstract

Research into how individuals learn and the different stages of learning has been the focus of studies by various scholars. Based on the research that has been conducted so far, there are several theories that have been advanced. Notable among these theories are the theories that have been advanced by Piaget and Lev Vygotsky. They both concur on the role of the surrounding environment on the learner but differ on the effect. In spite of the differences that are evident in their theories they have been instrumental in shaping the teaching styles that are applies all over the world. ...

1.0 Overview of urine formation The kidney is the chief regulator of all body fluids primarily responsible for maintaining homeostasis (equilibrium) of fluids and electrolytes (salts) in the body[ CITATION LAK03 \l 2057 ]. The kidney has five main functions namely: regulation of fluid and electrolyte, regulation of acid-base balance, excretion of the waste products of protein metabolism, hormonal function and protein conservation. All kidney functions except the hormonal function are carried out through urine formation which involves three processes: filtration, re-absorption and secretion. These processes occur at different parts of the nephron, the basic functional unit of the ...

Availability Bias: Availability bias occurs when whereby beings behave in certain ways in their environment. For example people tend to judge the probability of something occurring based on the first outcomes that comes to the mind that is the more memorable or vivid event. For example in the media there are a lot of cases of kidnapping and plane crashes. People assume that these events are common yet they are rare.

Egocentrism Bias: Occurs when an individual tends to judge that he is better than others. For example, the person sees himself as more charitable to help the poor or ...
