A pilot case-control study about volatile organic compounds in exhaled breath in primary sclerosing cholangitis Abstract Main Outcome Measurements Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry was used to analyze the concentration of the subjects prevalent VOCs in bile samples. Logistic regression analysis was performed to build a predictive model for the diagnosis of CCA. Four studies examined VOCs in gastric and colorectal cancers showing a change in metabolic biomarkers of cancer patients compared to the control group. VOC analysis in the study ensured that the differences are highlighted in the lifestyle as well as the metabolism of individuals. Refinement and continuous improvement of analytical tools allowed better detection and quantifying of the core constructs, thus enabling the discovery of a broader spectrum of pathophysiology and diseases’ biomarkers. Results Numerous compounds (ethanol, acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, acetaldehyde, benzene, carbon disulphide, dimethyl sulphide, and 2-propanalol) were considerably different in patients with IBD complicating PSC compared with PSC and IBD. (P<.05). The model [2.3239* log (acrylonitrile) + 0.9871*log (3-methylhexane) + 0.8448*log (benzene)] < −0.12 identified the patients with IBD [area under the curve (AUC=0.89)], with…

 case study concerning cardiovascular and respiratory disease processes  Thank you for your participation in this week’s case study concerning cardiovascular and respiratory disease processes. The case study assigned to you dealt with the identification of cardiovascular anomalies within the pediatric group.  The patient in the case study has some concerning findings regarding the physical examination, which shows that the patient has a result of a grade III/IV systolic ejection murmur linked with HPI of reduced feeding at night but without weight decline. Although the appearance of murmurs in infants can be a common incident. Not to mention, most pediatric murmurs are harmless and have no significant adverse effect on the functionality of the cardiovascular system (Etoom & Ratnapalan, 2014). Additionally, the group of patients with grade II murmurs overall condition of life often have no negative influence on health, and in many cases, the presence of the murmur goes as the child grows older without leaving any long-term issues (Sackey, 2016) However, the patient in case study 6 has a higher graded murmur based on the Levine grading scale that…

Case Study: Ethics Teleological framework dictates that the consequence of an action is the ultimate measure of whether such action is moral or not. Therefore, it follows that any choices that result to correct consequence are deemed morally right and the opposite is true (Chonko, 2012). On the other side, deontological framework points out that the consequences of any action for human welfare notwithstanding, the actors should remain morally obligatory. It is imperative to acknowledge the fact that the textile company in the case study aims at optimizing profits by taking advantage of low wage rates in the new Asian market. The Teleological approach allows for a focus that alludes to the aspect of ethics over profit and self- interests if at all the firm is to serve the interest of North Carolina workers. On the contrary, the deontological approach offers a platform that focuses the aspect of maximizing profits to meet the obligatory facet of managers to the firm as opposed to focusing on the loss the North Carolina workers will incur. The application of the teleological framework, the…

Case Study #3 Abstract             Staffing arrangements are a must to meet the needs of the women’s facility in a timely and humane manner. Individual accommodations are required to be made in many cases due to the care that is not provided in the house.  Due to the nature of the faculty only housing women, a high percentage that are pregnant or need more in-depth dental work accommodations must be made for offsite care facilities.  With this, we, the Tennessee Facility, need a plan to help reduce the number of offsite appointments and ensure we are meeting the needs of in-house meetings.                                         Memorandum What staff arrangements are available to meet the needs of out of the facility appointments? The correctional facility needs a well-adjustedstaff that will be able to meet the requirements as well as the demands outside the facility. This is because some clients may not be in a position to reach the facility or other pertinent reasons.  The…

Psychological behavior: Kristy’s case study What specific behavior is Kristy displaying? Are there any descriptions, interpretations, summary labels etc. for behavior that you will want to clarify? Kristy is specifically displaying target behavior. Basing the argument from the simple definition of target behavior; any behavior chosen to trigger change, it is clear that the girl is not comfortable with the current situation which she has found herself. First, it is clear from the story that she has grown up with her family in full, which is her mother, father and sister. Secondly, she has not been used to conflicts in the family. But what is the condition recently as depicted in the story line? Very different from what she has been used to. Her parents have begun fighting often and loudly in her presence which also has resulted to her father moving away followed by her sister. Kristy is therefore more likely exhibiting her current behavior to expresses her feelings against loneliness and conflict in the house which she calls for change. Do you feel you have ethical grounds to…

Case Study: D’Leon, Inc. Question a Importance of Ratios Ratios can help in analyzing how profitable a company is. Ratios like the gross profit margin and net profit margin help us to know the ability of a company to translate sales into a profit. Ratios help in analyzing how efficient a firm is compared to other firms in the same industry. For example, the inventory turnover ratio of a company can be used to tell how cost-effective a company is. Liquidity ratios can be used to determine whether a company is able to pay its short-term financial obligations as and when they fall due. Ratios can help investors understand how risky a certain business is. Leverage ratios help us to understand the extent to which a company is dependent on external debt hence exposing the investors to potential financial risks. Ratios help businesses to forecast and plan their future operations hence minimizing the level of risk, therefore, enhancing their profitability. The five major categories of ratios include Profitability ratios Liquidity ratios Leverage ratios Efficiency ratios Market Ratios Question b Current…

HSBC Case Study The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC) was termed as one of the most developed nations in Asia in 1865. The business was established in a bid to ensure that China was in a position to compete with other banks such as those established in the United States of America. The business was mainly concentrated in the Asia Pacific region and had tried to avoid Europe and the USA. However, over time the business was in a position to expand its reach to Europe through acquisitions in the United Kingdom as well as France (Chawla, 2020). The global businesses include HSBC Private Banking, HSBC Retail Banking and Wealth Management, and  HSBC Global Banking and Markets. The business businesses related to HSBC can be termed as global since the financial institution was able to expand its reach into various markets and was in a position to influence various markets. Not all businesses that have been established by HSBC can be classified as globals. The fact that the bank was established in Hong Kong meant that it had…
