A Conceptual Approach
Short Description:
This adapted open-access Canadian Nursing Pharmacology textbook was designed specifically for the entry-level undergraduate nursing student. It is also applicable to other health disciplines for use. This textbook explores pharmacological concepts by showing the connections between pathophysiology, pharmacological principles, and common medication classes. This textbook also provides learning tools to improve the students retention with quizzes, videos, concept maps, drug cards, and is organized using a concept-based teaching approach.

We don’t know what the next big scientific breakthrough is going to be or what futuristic diseases we’ll encounter. But when it comes to our health, we actually have a pretty good idea of what could be next. And we also have some ideas about what we need to do today to prepare. In this final episode of Crash Course Public Health, we’re going to take a look into the future with some roadmaps from the present.

THIS POWERPOINT PRESENTATION CONTAINS SOME IMPORTANT ONE LINERS FOR GPAT EXAMINATION
Learn about how g protein coupled receptors work in the cell membrane. Created by William Tsai.
Difference between Ephedra and Gnetum 1. Ephedra occurs in warm dry regions as well as at high altitudes while Gnetum occurs in humid tropical and subtropical regions.2. Ephedra plants are generally small and bushy while species of Gnetum are either trees or lianes.3. Ephedra leaves are small and scaly with parallel venation while Gnetum leaves are large with reticulate venation.4. Since the leaves in Ephedra are small and scaly the photosynthetic function is mainly performed by stem. On the other hand, the leaves in Gnetum perform the function of photosynthesis.5. A palisade-like tissue, present in the cortex of Ephedra stem is absent in Gnetum.6. Both Ephedra and Gnetum contain vessels in their secondary wood. However, in Ephedra the vessels contain number of bordered pits on their end walls and in Gnetum a single large pore is present on the end wall of each vessel.7. The secondary growth is of quite normal type in Ephedra while it is abnormal in Gnetum. Many accessory cambia develop to form eccentric rings of vascular tissue in Gnetum.8. The development of male gametophyte in Ephedra is quite similar with that of a typical gymnosperm but in Gnetum it is not like that.9. The pollen chamber in Ephedra is very deep while in Gnetum it is superficial or shallow.10. The embryo sac is monosporic in Ephedra while it is tetrasporic in Gnetum.11. A Tente-pole is present in Ephedra while it is generally absent in Gnetum.12. Before fertilization the female gametophyte is cellular in Ephedra while it is partly cellular and partly free-nuclear in Gnetum.13. The archegonia are present in Ephedra while absent in Gnetum.14. The zygote development in Gnetum is fundamentally different from that of Ephedra.15. The ‘feeder’ is absent in Ephedra while it is present in Gnetum.
The most recent knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, biophysics, and bioengineering of the gastrointestinal tract and the associated pancreatic, liver and biliary tract systems is presented and discussed. Gross and microscopic pathology and the clinical aspects of important gastroenterological diseases are then presented, with emphasis on integrating the molecular, cellular and pathophysiological aspects of the disease processes to their related symptoms and signs.
In the course we will use a feminist interdisciplinary lens and invite students to look critically at how practices like privatization, shrinking public “safety nets”, de-regulation, and the commodification of health services intersect inevitably with gender, race and class, for both men and women. We will draw on a blend of empirical studies, policy materials, films and guest speakers to examine specific health issues like menstrual health, corporate obstetrics, abortion, obesity, intersex, harassment and other forms of gendered violence, mental health and stress, parent-child attachment, as well as ethics and pharmaceuticals.
The Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies (GCWS)
This course is part of the Graduate Consortium in Women’s Studies. The GCWS at MIT brings together scholars and teachers at nine degree-granting institutions in the Boston area who are devoted to graduate teaching and research in Women’s Studies and to advancing interdisciplinary Women’s Studies scholarship. Learn more about the GCWS.
This course draws on different disciplines, conceptual frameworks, and methodological approaches to examine gender in relation to health, including public health practice, epidemiologic research, health policy, and clinical application. It discusses a variety of health-related issues that illustrate global, international, domestic, and historical perspectives, while considering other social determinants of health as well, including social class and race.
Students will reflect on the value of diversity in their classroom and community. We will learn about the difference between gender identity and sexual orientation, and practice strategies for treating others with respect and honoring their personal boundaries.
Overview of how genes and the environment interact.
This eBook is a medical education resource intended to supplement the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of medical students and pediatric residents in furthering their own knowledge about the general inpatient management of pediatric diabetes mellitus. This book may be of further use to any physician, advanced practitioners, or nurses who may also encounter pediatric patients with diabetes mellitus in the inpatient hospital setting. This book is specific to protocols and preferences for pediatric diabetes management at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children's Hospital. However, it also contains overarching concepts that transcend location wherever pediatric diabetes may be managed. At the time of publication, this book includes 4 Units, each consisting of 4-7 Chapters. Unit 1 introduces readers to an overview of diabetes mellitus, including its definition, diagnostic criteria, laboratory evaluation, clinical diagnosis, and key differences between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. Unit 2 dives into understanding different types of insulins and their uses. Unit 3 walks readers through the creation of initial insulin regimens for pediatric patients with new-onset diabetes. Lastly, Unit 4 dives into the details of pediatric diabetes management at Stead Family Children’s Hospitals according to the protocols and capabilities of the institution and preferences of the pediatric endocrinology division.
Preclinical studies using animals to study the potential of a therapeutic drug or strategy are important steps before translation to clinical trials. However, evidence has shown that poor quality in the design and conduct of these studies has not only impeded clinical translation but also led to significant waste of valuable research resources. It is clear that experimental biases are related to the poor quality seen with preclinical studies. In this chapter, we will focus on hypothesis testing type of preclinical studies and explain general concepts and principles in relation to the design of in vivo experiments, provide definitions of experimental biases and how to avoid them, and discuss major sources contributing to experimental biases and how to mitigate these sources. We will also explore the differences between confirmatory and exploratory studies, and discuss available guidelines on preclinical studies and how to use them. This chapter, together with relevant information in other chapters in the handbook, provides a powerful tool to enhance scientific rigour for preclinical studies without restricting creativity.
With the emerging genetic testing companies such as “23 and Me” and “Ancestry”, it is becoming more popular and accessible for families to test their own genes rather than from a primary care provider. The purpose of this activity is to analyze multiple angles of genetic testing. Students will look at multiple areas of health including mental, emotional, and physical health and how it can impact their personal health and the health of loved ones.
