For instance, in this case study the nurse Jill, which recognize signs and symptoms of a strange rash on the babies in the nursery and immediately notify the Doctor that something was wrong. Also, the microbiologist that worked in the lab, the doctor and even the parents all had important roles in the case study. However, Trouble in the Nursery case study was important to me because it allowed me to apply the knowledge of what we have learned so far in the class and how important it is for microbiologist and medical professionals working together to determine the best possible outcomes for patients and their community. After reading about all the signs, symptoms and test results, I was able to apply the knowledge that I learn from class about gram staining and morphology, normal flora and skin bacteria, the different media used to isolate the bacteria, and the antimicrobial used to treat bacteria. After the first clue, the gram positive cocci result came back it narrow my research to gram positive cocci that cause skin infections. Then, I...

...Gerson (18 October 1881–8 March 1959) was a German physician, that discovered the cure to cancer, migraines, tuberculosis, diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, auto-immune disorders and many other degenerative diseases. He studied medicine at the University of Freinburg, from 1899 to 1906. Dr. Gerson started his first clinic in Bielefield, Germany. Dr. Gerson had started getting debilitating migraines while in school. Dr. Gerson was determined to come up with a cure, so he started with massive changes to his diet. Dr. Gerson removed salt, processed foods, fat and meat from his diet. He also added many natural supplements and a wide array of organic raw foods. Dr. Gerson had cured his migraines in a matter of weeks and stumbled upon the greatest medicine in the world. Dr. Gerson had started using his “migraine” diet to treat some of his patient with skin tuberculosis. He saw staggering results with the healing power of his diet. He had started to make subtle changes finding some things worked better than others. A renowned thoracic surgeon, Ferdinand Saverbruch, heard of the work that Dr. Gerson was doing and teamed up with him. The pair took on 460 terminal tuberculosis cases to try and show that the diet worked, and at first it did not show very good results, but it was found out that a nurse was sneaking the patients’ food not on the diet. Once this was stopped 456 patients were cured. Dr. Gerson and Dr. Saverbruch become household names. During this time, Hitler...

...an iPhone case/cover, which costs less than $25 and the second product is a MacBook Pro laptop, which costed well over $200. Although these products are of a different value, the purchasing process can be quite similar. When I purchased my iPhone 5, my next step was to buy a case to keep the phone protected from any accidental damage. Since I was at the Apple store at the time of the purchase, I decided to look at some of the cases that were offered. I liked the Otterbox cases because they seemed to be the most effective in protecting the phone. I knew that my screen would have a much better chance at survival with this case on, if I happened to drop it by accident. Although the Otterbox cases were made with great quality, the prices were a bit extreme ($50-$75), and I knew that once I walked out of the store and over to one of the cell phone case kiosks, that I may find the same case if not better for a cheaper and more affordable price. So that is exactly what I did. I went to the kiosk and started looking at some cases, which looked appealing, and when I asked the guy how much he sold his Otterbox cases for, he replied $40. Eventually, I was able to bring the cost down to $30 with no tax after some bargaining, but I didn’t end up buying the case because I still felt I was being overcharged. Shopping malls really mark up the price on their goods so I figured, why not save some money and get the same product from a different seller. I know that these types of cases are brought...

...I think in case 3-2, an adequate background is given on the significance of the 2008 Save-A-Landmark campaign generated by Hampton hotels. The only thing I found tough to understand was the extensive history and why and how Hampton decided to begin this massive, yet important campaign. The major reason for conducting this campaign was to help preserve national sites honoring important people and moments in American history so they could be properly celebrated. The program seemed to be very proactive in the way that they started in 2000 and have been conducting surveys to see what landmarks they should be focused on and also timing up their refurbishment of the National Civil rights Museum 40 years after Martin Luther King’s assassination....

Map the research design used by Donatos for new product development. Donatos started its research-based product development process to determine that the low-carb craze was no fad. The process starts with is developing the product prototype, followed by employee taste testing, concept screens (where participants, usually in a central location, are shown photographs of food products, and then queried about the item’s uniqueness, brand fit, price attractiveness, and the likelihood of purchase if the product were available), and ultimately in-restaurant tests in two or more restaurants within the chain. In-restaurant tests also include participants completing a self-administered intercept survey or, for delivery customers, a call-back phone survey. 2. Evaluate the Wassup meetings as an exploratory methodology to help define the research question. According to Cooper’s Business Research Methods, the exploratory phase of the research process uses information to expand understanding of the management dilemma, look for ways others have addressed and/or solved problems similar to the management dilemma or management question, and gather background information on the topic to refine the research question. interviews with experts and other individual depth interviews, and group discussion or some combinations of these.

...“The Willowbrook Hepatitis Experiment" CCase Study [Author Name] Upon doing this case study I’ve learned there are different ways to analyze this experiment. First, I will state the facts about this case. Then I will give my opinion as to weather or not I find this experiment ethical or unethical. Finally, I will give some ways that maybe this experiment could have been changed to meet ethical or unethical guidelines. Facts: Willowbrook is a State School in Staten Island, New York. The facility was built in the 1930’s with the plan to house mentally retarded and disabled children. However, until the end of World War II it was used for injured and disabled war veterans. The building was originally built to house only a few thousand residents, but by the mid-60’s it was overcrowded with more than six thousand residents. In the late 50’s there was a research started there by S. Krugman and J. Giles to assess the outbreak of hepatitis. However, this research spanned over a period of fourteen years and involved a host of healthy children. Krugman and Giles were only focused on finding out the natural cause of the disease not what they were doing to the children. Krugman and Giles decided that in order to get more accurate data about hepatitis, they needed to have children who didn’t have the disease to be infected with hepatitis. So this way they could follow...

...a set of goals set forth by a group of individuals. Groups follow a course of cohesion and function. Research has been done to understand group dynamics. One of the most accepted models is that of Bruce Tuckman. His research shows groups follow a set path of Forming, Storming, Norming and Performing. The movie Apollo 13 gives several examples of Tuckman’s model. In this essay we will follow Jim Lovell and his steps in group dynamics through out the movie. When the movie begins you can see that there is a barbeque going on at Jim Lovell’s house. You could draw the conclusion that Jim has worked with the others before at some point. This is where the forming begins Jim invites other astronauts over to watch the first landing on the moon. All of these men have a common goal, which is going to the moon. This is also Jim’s interpersonal need to be around others who want to go to the moon as well. The next phase is the storming phase. We know that people don’t always get along in groups. One great example of this is when Jim, Fred and Ken are in the simulator running case scenarios. They are done with the last case scenario in the simulator Jim and Fred are ready to go home. Ken tells them that he wants to run it again. Jim and Fred think that they should go home and rest that they will have time another day to practice to get it perfect. Because of Jims individual goal, getting to the moon he gives into Ken’s request to do the simulations again. The storming phase is the most...

...put an end to it. Gang Activity in Camden I also did my own research about the gang activities in Camden and surrounding areas. This came up with a lot of interesting information that I did not know anything about. The arrests and sentencing factors associated with these gangs, the policing to reduce gang corners, and the violence cause by these gang members. For my online searches I used google and Firefox. This is where I typed in the information and was able to access the Newsworks, which gives you a break down by city or state. I also went on the Temple University site, which I was able to research data in their Department of Criminal Justice. I wanted to familiarize myself with some of the policies that the police and government are trying to put in place to stop the gang violence. A friend of mines who is a Paralegal allowed me do access her LexisNexis program, which gives you a lot of details on cases involving gangs not only in your area, but others as well. Interview: On Friday, June 5, 2015; I spoke with a retired police officer, which he did not want his real name to be mentioned, so we will call him, Mr. Robertson. Me: How long were you on the force? Mr. Robertson: I was on the force for 15 years and then retired and now I am doing private security. Me: Was there a lot of gang activity going on? Mr. Robertson: Yes, mostly every day we were either hearing about it or getting a call about it. Me: Were there a lot of arrests made? Mr. Robertson:...

Researchers from the “University of Birmingham and Manchester Metropolitan University report in the Journal of Physiology that sugary energy drinks activate reward and pleasure regions in the brain, a boost that can translate to better performance”(Park 1). This report has started to make Sports Medicine research weather rinsing a sugar energy drink really makes a difference in the body. In the 2004 case study, Ed Chambers who co-authored the study took volunteers to do a 60 minute workout or less. He gave one group a sugar-based energy drink and told them to do their regular workout. Then the second group was given an artificial sweetened drink and told to do the same workout. Then a third group was given the same solutions and put through an MRI scanner to see if their brains had similar reactions. In this case study they didn’t act the same. The ones who had the energy drink, their brains had reactions in the pleasure part of their brains which means those who had the sugar based drinks pushed harder because their brain had activity in the reward portion. Those who had the energy drink “were able to complete a physical-training session 2% faster than those who got artificially sweetened drinks, and improved their mean power output as well”(Park 1). The research proved that energy drinks actually...
