...Week 7 Assignment 1. What is the infectious agent (pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? For example, the name of the bacteria, virus, or parasite. The infectious agent is Staphylococcus and it is a form of bacteria. 2. How is this infectious agent transmitted through food or water? Staphylococcus is transmitted through food is by food handlers. This happens all over where you have people that work around food, but not practicing good hygiene. Workers come in sick instead of staying home and getting treatment. You can have dish that are not properly clean or being clean in subpar temperatures, which have enough heat to killed the bacteria. Servers that may have touch your food and touching something that was carrying bacteria. 3. What is an example of a real life outbreak of this foodborne illness in the United States? The first description of food-borne disease involving staphylococci was investigated in Michigan in 1884 by Vaughan and Sternberg. This food poisoning event was because of consumption of a cheese contaminated by staphylococci. Ten years later, Denys (1884) concluded that the illness of a family who had consumed meat from a cow that had died of vitullary fever was owing to the presence of pyogenic staphylococci (Hennekine. 2012). 4. What are the clinical symptoms, and duration of the disease, and treatment if any? The signs and symptoms; are rash or pimple like. The affected area may be red, swollen, and very painful...

...Associate Level Material Name Sci/162 Week 7 Foodborne Illness Date [pic]Hepatitis A ? What is the infectious agent (pathogen) that causes this infectious disease? For example, the name of the bacteria, virus, or parasite.[pic] There are several types of Hepatitis. Infectious hepatitis, which is commonly referred to as Hepatitis A, infects the liver via the virus of the same name. This is commonly spread through contamination from feces. The virus is transmitted among people through direct contact with an infected person and from improper hygiene. For example, if a kitchen worker uses the restroom and does not properly wash their hands and goes directly back to preparing food the virus can be passed on. Hepatitis is a Picornavirus which means the virus non-enveloped, single stranded enclosed in a protein shell. Although there are several genotypes, only 1 serotype exists. ? [pic]How is this infectious agent transmitted through food or water? Hepatitis A[pic] can be transmitted [pic]through[pic] water [pic]and[pic] food from preparing food anywhere, whether an individual is at a restaurant, home or a friend’s house. If an individual is prepping food and he or she is infected with the hepatitis A virus it can easily spread to the next individual. Food handlers that have hepatitis can contaminate the food and water or if the use the restroom and do not wash his or her hands well can also spread the disease. [pic]Usually this type of spread is limited to family members or their...

...HIV/AIDS Samantha Jaros SCI 162 August 9, 2015 University of Phoenix HIV/AIDS Introduction Have you ever thought about how common HIV/AIDS is? More people than we think or know are affected by this disease. Although it is not curable there are ways to take care of yourself. If you have any questions or concerns be sure to contact a professional. It doesn't hurt to be informed. You can save yourself from getting it or giving it to others. HIV is no joke and it is becoming an epidemic. HIV/AIDS HIV stands for Human Immunodeficiency Virus. Over time your body is able to fight and get rid of viruses but with HIV your body is not able to fight it off. There are medicines that can keep the level down so you are expected to live a longer and healthier life. HIV is a single stranded, positive sense, enveloped RNA virus in the genus Lentivirus. HIV can be passed in numerous ways. It can be passed through sexual contact, needle or syringe sharing, medical use of blood or blood components, organ or tissue transplantation, artificial insemination, mother to child during pregnancy, at birth, and postpartum through breast feeding. An estimated 35 million at the end of 2012 were living with the HIV infection. A big majority of it is coming from Africa and the low income poverty groups. Two thirds of the virus is in Africa. When coming in contact and being infected with HIV your immune system cannot fight it off. HIV attacks and breaks down your immune system...

Received: 28 June 2012; in revised form: 24 August 2012 / Accepted: 28 August 2012 / Published: 5 September 2012 Abstract: In the past decade, research has accumulated suggesting that excessive Internet use can lead to the development of a behavioral addiction. Internet addiction has been considered as a serious threat to mental health and the excessive use of the Internet has been linked to a variety of negative psychosocial consequences. The aim of this review is to identify all empirical studies to date that used neuroimaging techniques to shed light upon the emerging mental health problem of Internet and gaming addiction from a neuroscientific perspective. Neuroimaging studies offer an advantage over traditional survey and behavioral research because with this method, it is possible to distinguish particular brain areas that are involved in the development and maintenance of addiction. A systematic literature search was conducted, identifying 18 studies. These studies...

...Information Sharing in Supply Chains: An Empirical and Theoretical Valuation Ruomeng Cui, Gad Allon, Achal Bassamboo, Jan A. Van Mieghem* Kellogg School of Management, Northwestern University, Evanston, IL April 10, 2013 We provide an empirical and theoretical assessment of the value of information sharing in a two-stage supply chain. The value of downstream sales information to the upstream firm stems from improving upstream order fulfillment forecast accuracy. Such improvement can lead to lower safety stock and better service. According to recent theoretical work, the value of information sharing is zero under a large spectrum of parameters. Based on the data collected from a CPG company, however, we empirically show that if the company includes the downstream demand data to forecast orders, the mean squared error percentage improvement ranges from 7.1% to 81.1% in out-of-sample tests. Thus, there is a discrepancy between the empirical results and existing literature: the empirical value of information sharing is positive even when the literature predicts zero value. While the literature assumes that the decision maker strictly adheres to a given inventory policy, our model allows him to deviate, accounting for private information held by the decision maker, yet unobservable to the econometrician. This turns out to reconcile our empirical findings with the literature. These “decision deviations” lead to information losses in the order process, resulting in strictly positive...

We argue that this large research literature can be best organized and understood from a multilevel perspective. We identify three levels of analysis of prosocial behavior: (a) the “meso” level—the study of helper-recipient dyads in the context of a specific situation; (b) the micro level—the...

...Rehabilitation of Acromioclavicular Joint Separations: Operative and Nonoperative Considerations Mark P. Cote, PT, DPTa, Karen E. Wojcik, MSPT, ATCb, Gregg Gomlinski, MSPT, CSCSb, Augustus D. Mazzocca, MS, MDa,* Acromioclavicular joint (AC) separations are one of the most common injuries seen in orthopedic and sports medicine practices, accounting for 9% of all injuries to the shoulder girdle.1–3 Various operative and nonoperative treatment schemes have been described for the management of AC joint injuries.4–33 Although considerable controversy exists over the efficacy of surgical reconstruction versus nonoperative intervention for grade III type injuries, grade I and II separations seem to respond favorably to conservative management. Conversely, grades IV, V, and VI often require surgical reconstruction. Regardless of the type of injury, rehabilitation as a part of conservative management and postoperative care plays an important role in the management of these injuries. This article presents the authors’ rehabilitation approach to treatment of acromioclavicular separations pre- and postoperatively. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK To provide instruction and insight for rehabilitation clinicians, protocols are often provided for a specific injury or procedure. A protocol is a system of rules or procedures for a given situation. Although intended to be informative, protocols often result in a restrictive list of exercises and arbitrary time frames that a clinician...

...Comprehensive Review of the Research A United States Tennis Association Sport Science Committee Project Editors: Mark S. Kovacs, PhD Todd S. Ellenbecker, DPT W. Ben Kibler, MD Introduction In the last two decades, physical training and competitive opportunities have increased dramatically in junior, collegiate and professional tennis. This arose due to a multitude of factors, but much of it has stemmed from an increase in knowledge and understanding of scientifically based training programs focused on improving performance. As this focus on performance has increased, the area of recovery has received relatively limited focus. Recovery is a multi-faceted paradigm focusing on recovery from training—session to session, day to day and week to week. Recovery is also vitally important during training as well as in competition between matches and between days during multi-day tournaments. As more information is needed in the area of tennis specific recovery, the Sport Science Committee of the United States Tennis Association (USTA) sponsored an extensive evidence-based review of the available literature related to eight distinct areas of tennis-specific recovery. These eight areas are: • • • • • • • • Nutritional Aspects of Tennis Recovery Heat and Hydration Aspects of Tennis Recovery Psychological Aspects of Tennis Recovery Recovery Aspects of Young Tennis Players Physiological Aspects of Tennis Recovery Musculoskeletal Injuries/ Orthopedics...
