Forecasting at Lincoln Community Hospital
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page paper critiquing a hospital management as described in Harvard case 9-191-149, Lincoln Community Hospital. The paper reviews the actions of the Executive Committee, concluding that it lacks the information it needs to establish a strategy for halting operating losses or to produce an accurate forecast for the future. The bottom line is that Lincoln Hospital has not been managed effectively for several years, if indeed it ever was. As a nonprofit, independent hospital in the mid-1980s, it is facing intense changes in the healthcare industry in the future. It needs to begin looking at the signs of change and begin to meet those changes with a plan as to how to deal with them. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Forensic Pathology Of Sudden Unexplained Death
[ send me this paper ]
8 pages in length. Death of any origin requires a legal certificate that denotes the cause of demise, however, the reason for a death that is sudden and unexpected can keep prevent that cause field on the certificate blank for many months. Determining cause of death in this instance - which is defined as "those that do not result from a diagnosed terminal illness or other debilitating or deteriorating illness or condition where death is anticipated (natural death) unless the illness or condition is the result of an injury, whether intentional or not" (Washington State Department of Health, 2005) is the task of forensic pathologists who are not only trained in identifying the nature of disease and injury but also the "mechanisms of sudden death and subtle forms of homicide" (Washington State Department of Health, 2005). The criminal nature of forensic pathology provides the conduit between difficult police investigations and an appropriate criminal justice outcome. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Full Mouth Disinfection Compared to Partial Mouth Disinfection
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses research findings regarding full-mouth disinfection (FMD). FMD requires that instrumentation, subgingival, buccal mucosa and tongue disinfection all be completed within 24 hours. The concept is based on the idea that in the most common strategy for periodontal treatment that involves consecutive root planings per single quadrant of the mouth at a one- to two-week intervals, re-infection of a disinfected area might occur before completion of the treatment. The standard procedure is generally referred to as “partial mouth disinfection.” Bibliography lists 6 sources.

G Protein Function
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the function of G proteins, with an emphasis in GTPase and G protein receptor sites. G proteins have been found to be involved in a vast number of processes involving hormonal and drug therapy activity and are extensively involved in message transmission. GTPase inhibits those processes, and the mechanisms by which many of these interactions take place still are not well described. In part due to the sheer numbers of processes in which G proteins have roles and in part because they each have their own pharmacology while sharing similar structures, full description is likely to provide a wealth of research opportunity for some time to come.

Gene Therapy for Cystic Fibrosis
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the status of gene therapy for the treatment or prevention of cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the gene encoding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein (CFTR).

Gene Therapy Research Proposal
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper presenting a research proposal with the purpose of evaluating methods of introducing germline - i.e., inheritable - genes in human subjects. The intended approach will be to replicate specific methods gained from the literature, evaluating each for their adaptability to universal application. The American Association. for the Advancement of Science recommends that ethical issues be resolved first, but it also notes that current methods are inefficient. Universally applicable methods need to be available before the ethical questions are resolved. Much of the funding for research has been from the private sector, pharmaceutical companies looking toward the profit that is certain to be substantial. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Genetic Engineering: Ethics
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. The list of options was rather long as the couple sat in the waiting room filling out their paperwork. There for their first in vitro fertilization procedure, they were faced with a number of choices pertaining to the baby they would eventually create: sex - female; hair color - blond; eyes - green; height - 5'7"; body type - athletic; I.Q. - 125; aptitude - music and law. Testing for specific diseases had all but weeded out life-threatening syndromes and socially unacceptable conditions that guaranteed they would make a healthy baby - and if not then they would simply abort it - so all that was left for aspiring parents to think about was what psychological and physiological traits they wanted their perfect child to have. Is this merely the plot of a bestselling science fiction novel? Not anymore given the progress scientific advancement has rendered in the recent past. If genetic engineering continues down the path it currently follows, there will be grave consequences to pay for manipulating man's natural methods of reproduction. No bibliography.

Genetic Expression in Cancer
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page paper discussing the actions and implications of genes p53 and pRB, and the enzyme telomerase in the control of cancer. Genes p53 and pRB are known to be tumor suppressor genes, inhibiting the ability of cancerous cells to thrive. Over half of all cancers reveal that the p53 gene has either been disabled or has been dismantled at the cellular level. Telomerase is an enzyme found most abundantly in association with cancerous conditions, preventing the shortening of chromosomal 'endcaps,' telomeres, that happens in normal cell growth and division. The enzyme prevents the shortening of the telomeres, prolonging the life of the cell. Telomerase provides the best indicator of cancerous conditions present and is measurable before there are any symptoms at all. Bibliography lists 10 sources.
