Essays on Translational

Nielsen (2016) submitted an abstract titled Improvements of colorectal cancer screening by development and implementation blood-based biomarker concepts to the 14th Annual Conference on Translational Medicine and Oncologists Meet which was held in San Francisco, United States of America starting on the 28th day to the 30th day of November, 2016. The theme which the conference was based was cancer could be treated if it was detected. This resonates with the increased push for increased screening for colorectal cancer, the theme upon which my project is based. Nielsen (2016) presents the use of biomarker concepts that are based on ...

Introduction

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) involves peripheral circulation, the brain, and the heart. The disease is a primary health issue in many countries around the world (Sawhney, et al., 2012). CVD develops through complex processes involving novel risk markers and common risk factors. Decades of research have demonstrated that a sibling’s or parent’s family history is linked to the development of atherosclerotic CVD (Gupta et al., 2013; Nelson, 2013; Imes and Lewis, 2014), which manifests as peripheral arterial disorder, stroke, and coronary heart disorder (CHD). Various Mendelian disorders have also been shown to contribute to atherosclerotic CVD. Although ...

Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

Nursing Interventions In The Management Of Diabetes

Describe your methodological design. I propose to conduct a primarily quantitative study that will measure a number of CDC certified diabetes nurses educators and .evaluate success of tailor patient, self-managed diabetes goals (eg: A1C, blood pressure, cholesterol, weight, amount of physical activity using International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) (Tabak et al. 403-06) in primary care setting. Nurses or medical staff feedback concerning the feasibility of translation to will be optional to eliminate burden; if a substantial amount of data is collected it will be analyzed. Since this form of data collection is unknown, it does not truly meet the ...

Introduction

The rate of employee retention differs from one industry to another, and while some firms experience internal challenges others, experience external issues that contribute to increased rates of turnover among their key employees. The above study, therefore, seeks to outline some of the areas that can be reviewed to resolve the issue regarding the necessary policies and practices to be employed. High turnovers among employees result in increased costs to an organization, and if the rate is not resolved, it may stagnate the workforce. It is for this reason companies need to embrace practical strategies to help enhance the ...

Vestibular Projections

Vestibular projections in the central nervous system consist of vestibular end organs which communicate with the brain stem and the cerebellum via the vestibular branch of the eighth cranial nerve. These nerves are also connected to the auditory fibers. Thus damage caused to these structures can cause both vestibular and auditory disturbances. The vital function of the vestibular system is to coordinate head and eye movements. The ability of the eye to stay focused on an object even while the head is moving is brought about by the vestibular system.

Vestibular Cochlear Nerve

The vestibulo cochlear nerve or the auditory nerve is ...

Advanced nursing practice is recognized as an advanced level of nursing care that uses in-depth nursing knowledge and nursing expertise to meet health care needs. Unlike traditional nursing practice, advanced nursing practice involves numerous streams of activities like: analysis, knowledge synthesis, critical thinking, decision making, interpreting, evidence based practice and managerial/administrative roles. The evolution of advanced nursing practitioners happened when nurses were expected to take extra responsibility in addition to their traditional role. Due to lack of a sufficient number of doctors to attend to people in remote areas and in families, nurses were given the added responsibility to ...

Translation science can be defined as a branch of science which aims to develop various interventions and programs that can help improve the health of human beings using the “bench to bedside” approach (Wagner and Kroetz, 2016). The translation science project which will be discussed in this paper is mainly focused on the effect of the implementation of a vaccination screening program on the vaccination rates of elderly Hispanic population aged between 65 and 90 years old in a Community Health setting in Miami-Dade area. Currently, there are numerous evidences that can support the need for various interventions and ...

Introduction

Taking measurements may require the conversion of the measured quantity to electrical quantity. Transducers are devices or elements that perform this function by transforming physical quantities such as quantities like sound, light, or temperature into electrical signals like current, voltage, or capacity. Transducers consist of inputs, sensing elements, transduction elements, signal processing, and electrical outputs. The inputs known as the measurands are the quantities, states, or properties that are to be translated into electrical outputs. The sensing elements accurately measure these input energies and sends the information to the transduction elements to be transformed into the desired form. The ...

Translational medicine is considered as a relatively new branch of science which is a combination of other branches of the biomedical field. It is supported by three main pillars namely (1) benchside; (2) bedside; and (3) community. The main purpose of translational medicine is to incorporate and improve the different disciplines, resources, expertise, and even techniques within the three main pillars. These improvements can help improve the different interventions and strategies focused on prevention, diagnosis, and therapies in the healthcare sector (Cohrs, et al., 2015; Titler, 2004). Nurses are considered as stakeholders when it comes to translational medicine because ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a mental challenge that occurs in the brain. It is a disease that makes people lose memory or even lack the capacity to lead a healthy lifestyle due to memory loss. It affects people as they get older, especially the ones above 65 years, than the ones with fewer years. The disease can also affect young people aged between forty and fifty years old, in what is known as the younger-onset (DeFina et al., par 9).

Research on the Treatment and the Fight against the Alzheimer's disease

There has been a lot of research done on the causes, treatment, and the preventive measure, in the effort ...

The title of the paper that is reviewed is: “Sumoylation and Phosphorylation of α-synuclein”.

It is a research article that explores the molecular mechanism underlying αSyn toxicity. αSyn is a protein that is seen in the inclusion bodies of dopaminergic neurons in patients with Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson is an important neurodegenerative disease, and the cure of the disease is still unknown. In-depth understanding of the molecular pathogenic of the disease will help in determining suitable cure. Through the insight obtained from a literature review and previous studies, the authors identified that post translational modification of αSyn, could affect its physical characters like the ability to form aggregates, solubility in cytoplasm and its ...
