...ensure that blood and blood products are safe. In microbiology, pathologists identify microorganisms that can cause infections – bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites – so that the most effective treatment can be selected for each particular case. An anatomic pathologist assists surgeons during operations by providing immediate diagnoses on biopsies (specially treated tissues removed in surgery and rushed to the lab). A forensic pathologist uses lab science to answer questions about evidence collected for criminal and civil cases. Other pathologists conduct research in pathology, developing new tests and new instruments to better diagnose diseases. Some pathologists devote their careers to research in pathology, developing new tests and new instruments to better diagnose diseases. Pathologists often teach their specialty to medical students and those preparing for other laboratory professions, including clinical lab technology and cytotechnology, among others. Pathologists are problem-solvers, fascinated by the process of disease and eager to unlock medical mysteries, such as AIDS and diabetes, using the sophisticated tools and methods of modern laboratory science.

...Introduction Our voice forms an important part of our everyday lives. However, it is when the voice is used as a part of one’s profession, that it becomes indispensable. Teaching is one such profession (Buekers, Bierens, Kingma & Marres, 1995; Simberg, Sala & Ronnemaa, 2004). Teachers regularly face vocal abuse at work (Smith et al., 1998), the effects of which manifest themselves in ways more than speaking on the job (Sovani & Mukundan 2010). In spite of this, very little is currently being done in India to address voice problems of teachers (Sovani & Mukundan, 2010). Need for the study Though Koufman and Isaacson’s (1991) vocal usage classification system classifies teachers as Level II vocal professionals, this does not, in any way, reduce...

...Concept Analysis Robin A. Jonas University of Phoenix Abstract The term ‘nursing’ appears left open to a wide array of definitions and interpretations. If the discipline of nursing is to develop, progress and take its place in society as a distinct and knowledgeable profession in all contexts, a clear analysis of the term must be undertaken. A summation of opinions gathered in personal interviews with nurse leaders specializing in education, research, and practice add a personal and emotional perspective to the analysis. Appendix A lists questions used in the interviews. A concept map serves as a visual result of this analysis. Clarity of the concept of nursing will add to its knowledge base and is important to future development of the discipline. Results suggest a need for the nursing discipline to adopt a concept that will explain the discipline given its presentation in any context.

...Jean Watson’s human caring theory NUR 405 May 23, 2011 Dr. Carol King, DNP, RN, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC The caring theory was grounded on a humanitarian perspective and is found on a humanistic approach toward human caring programs and experiences. It acknowledges that life with individuals and their community to the surrounding environment are somehow connect and affects wellbeing of everything involved. The nature of the theory caring implies that it embraces reflective investigations as well subjective and interpretative inquiries. The nursing profession uses nursing theories as the framework and foundation for practice. Many people find nursing theories to be meaningless and of no use to the profession until they learn the history and meaning behind nursing theories. Nursing theories aid nurses by improving patient care and enhancing communication between members. “The theory of human caring was initiated by Jean Watson in the late 1970s. Jean Watson was a nursing professor at Colorado University. Dr. Jean Watson is Distinguished Professor of Nursing and holds a Chair in Caring Science at the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. She is founder of the original Center for Human Caring in Colorado and is a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. She previously served as Dean of Nursing at the university Health Sciences Center and is a previous president of the National League for Nursing” (Watson, 1979, p. 8). The Human caring...

...major factors determining the effectiveness of a health institution includes patient care management and patient satisfaction. Hospitals are very expensive to build and to operate. Administrators and professionals have to be extremely cost conscious. Effective computerised systems and procedures need to be implemented to ensure proper utilization of limited resources toward quality health care.

...industries. Consuming over 10 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) of most developed nations, health care can form an enormous part of a country's economy. For purpose of finance and management, the health care industry is typically divided into several areas. As a basic framework for defining the sector, the United Nations International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC) categorizes the health care industry as generally consisting of: 1. Hospital activities 2. Medical and dental practice activities 3. "Other human health activities". This third class involves activities of, or under the supervision of, nurses, midwives, physiotherapists, scientific or diagnostic laboratories, pathology clinics, residential health facilities, or other allied health professions, e.g. in the field of optometry, hydrotherapy, medical massage, yoga therapy, music therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, chiropody, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, etc. The Global Industry Classification Standard and the Industry Classification Benchmark further distinguish the industry as two main groups: 1.

...Chapter 2 - Kinds of Deviance - A Sequential Model In order to discuss models of deviance, the author introduces four types of deviant behaviour: 1. conforming; 2. pure deviant; 3. falsely accused (i.e. perceived as deviant but exhibiting obedient behaviour) and 4. secret deviant (i.e. exhibiting rule-breaking behaviour but not perceived as deviant). The author examines two types of models that could be used to investigate what causes the deviant behaviours to develop:- 1. simultaneous - which assumes that the behaviour develops simultaneously through many causes 2. sequential - where patterns of behaviour develop according to an orderly sequence of stages Simultaneous models are often used in investigations of pathology, to determine the combination of variables that may predict the behaviour and therefore explain the cause. The sequential model may better recognise that behaviour patterns change in a series of steps, and that each step needs to be explained independently of other steps. The causes of one step may have no effect at other steps and all the causes may not operate at the same time. Adopting the sequential model, the author introduces the idea of a deviant career,...
