One potential medical treatment to stop cancer cell proliferation employs an inhibitor derived from Show more One potential medical treatment to stop cancer cell proliferation employs an inhibitor derived from human umbilical cord stem cells. In this question you will compare two histograms to determine where in the cell cycle the inhibitor blocks the division of cancer cells. In the treated sample human glioblastoma (brain cancer cells) were grown in tissue culture in the presence of the inhibitor. In contrast control sample glioblastoma cells were grown in the absence of stem cells. To get a snapshot of the phase of the cell cycle each cell was in at the end of 72 hours the cell samples were treated with a fluorescent chemical that binds to DNA. Next the samples were run through a flow cytometer an instrument that records the fluorescence level of each cell. Computer software then graphed the number of cells in each sample with a particular fluorescence level.
The data are plotted in a type of graph called a histogram which groups values for a numeric variable on the x-axis into intervals. A histogram allows you to see how an entire group of experimental subjects (cells in this case) are distributed along a continuous variable (amount of fluorescence). In these histograms the bars are so narrow that the data appear to follow a curve for which you can detect peaks and dips. Each bar represents the number of cells observed to have a fluorescence level in that interval. This in turn indicates the relative amount of DNA in those cells. Analyze the graph carefully and focus on what each axis means. The y axis is giving you number of cells and the x axis is giving you amount of fluorescence per cell. remember that these cells were stained with a fluorescent dye that binds DNA. After analyzing the graph answer the following questions: 1) Identify which phase of the cell cycle is represented by each region. The regions represent the same cell cycle phases in both histograms.

Physical evaluation revealed that he had generalized weakness in the lips and tongue. He could take his liquids from a cup without any coughing episodes but he had some coughing while using a regular straw. The patient reported that he was more comfortable using a straw and preferred it to the cup. The SLP cut the straw in half and the patient then took his liquids with the straw without any difficulty. Why might this patient have more difficulty using a regular straw than a cup? Why might shortening the length of the straw improve his swallowing performance? Show less

The PICOT question written in statement form is as follows:In urban African-Americans with hypertension (P) does tele-monitoring blood pressure (I) compared to self-monitoring blood pressure (C) improve blood pressure control (O) within 6 months of initiation of the medication (T)?Where
P- Urban African-AmericansI- Tele-monitoring blood PressureC-Self Monitoring Blood pressureO-Improve Blood Pressure ControlT-Six Months
Four articles:
Four evidence-based interventions on the treatment of hypertension in adults were reviewed. The first article titled Home Blood Pressure Tele monitoring: Rationale for Use Required Elements and Barriers to Implementation in Canada by Wood Boulanger & Padwal (2017) asserts that the use of home blood pressure monitoring for hypertension diagnosis and management is highly recommended. To help patients adhere to the recommended home protocol they recommended the use of tele-monitoring because its use combined with protocol zed case management leads to statistically significant and clinically important blood pressure reductions (Wood Boulanger& Padwal 2017).
Roesler Binotto Iochpe Palomba & Tizatto (2015) also noted that chronic diseases including hypertension and diabetes should be addressed given an increase in healthcare risk factors such as population aging. They conducted a study to Improve Preventive Healthcare with a User-centric Mobile Tele-monitoring Model and found that by following a steady monitoring strategy over an elderly population and then numerous deaths could be avoided. The article suggests a mobile health promotion designed to monitor remotely a patient’s vital signs in real time (Roesler et al. 2015)
Chen et al. (2013) also evaluated the effectiveness of a home telehealth service in hypertension control. The study used two groups based on the frequency that they measured blood pressure i.e. one group measured its BP more than 3 times a week while the other made less than or equal to 20 measurements a month. It is important to note that some patients were provided with the Citizen Tele-medical Care Service System (CTCS) home monitoring equipment while others used regular BP measurement. According to their results patients who used CTCS tele-monitoring achieved better BP control than those who self-measured BP at home only.
Finally Franssen et al. (2017) asserted that tele-monitoring in the management of hypertension is efficient. They however note that its advantages over self-monitoring are not clear. The study aimed at evaluating whether using self-monitoring results in lower BP compared to tele-monitoring. After randomizing participants to usual care self-monitoring alone or self-monitoring with tele-monitoring for 12 months the study revealed that those who used self-monitoring with tele-monitoring had better control of their BP Franssen et al. (2017).
