PICOT For nurses at the Clinica Las Mercedes caring for adult Hispanic diabetic patients does the implementation of the Chronic Care Model (CCM) with Diabetic Self-management Education (DSME) program lead to improved diabetes management and self-care knowledge in eight weeks? 1. Sample The study will be conducted in a major primary care facility, which is chosen based on convenience. All the registered nurses in the hospital’s medical and surgical wards comprise the target population. The study…
Students were asked to create a dog pen with the biggest area. They had to make sure that they would have enough fencing material to cover a perimeter of 40 yards. With these 40 yards, students were asked to figure out the largest area for the dog to play in its pen. First, I know that we have 40 yards of fencing material. Our equation to finding out the perimeter of the the rectangle is 2W+2L=40. I also know that the formula for finding out the area is LW=A.The L variable stands for length and…
According to Treas & Wilkinson (2014) when using the BMI calculation of: BMI=weight in kilograms + (height in meters)2, Mrs. Jenkins BMI would equal 16.8 (p.924). “The normal BMI for adults ranges from 18.5 to 24.9” (Treas & Wilkinson, 2014, p. 924). The 16.8 BMI classifies Mrs. Jenkins as moderately underweight. Being underweight is when the patient “consumes fewer kcal than needed based on his activity, sex, height, and weight. Consuming too few kcal may result in serious undernutrition-that…
Self-efficacy has three dimensions: magnitude, the difficulty level of the task a person believes to attain; strength, the conviction regarding magnitude as strong or weak; and generality, the degree to which the expectation is generalized across situations (Redmond, 2016). Studies show the predictive and mediational role of self-efficacy beliefs in performing mathematical tasks successfully (Dullas, 2010; Galla & Wood, 2012; Guolao, 2014; Liu & Koirala, 2009; Pajares & Miller, 1994; Zimmerman,…
Results To assay whether the MLPA is able to accurately detect TS cases, we first analyzed a cohort of known mosaic TS patients (“pilot TS group”). Using this group, the ratio able to detect all the mosaicisms and X structural abnormalities was 0.76 at least in one probe (table 1). This ratio permitted to identify also the lowest grade of mosaicism (15%) (mos 45,X[15]/46,XX[85]) among the patients of the pilot TS group. Interestingly, in this population, the MLPA detected Y material presence in…

The differences of the means of all variables except age were found to be higher and significant in males as compared to female…
Using the figures in the table above, the following regression equation was obtained. Y = 0.668 + (-0.016) X1 + (0.185) X2 + (0.224) X3 + (0.118) X4 + (0.270) X5 Interpretation 1. A constant value of 0.668 indicates that if there is no independent variable (Reliability, Responsiveness, Assurance, Empathy, and Tangible), the dependent variable (customer satisfaction) is positive. 2. X1 regression coefficient = -0.016 means that if the service of dimensions X1 has decreased; the level of customer…
prize winning French surgeon Alexis Carrel 3. The heart pump was seen as a medical breakthrough as it paved the way for the first true artificial organs D. On March 1, 1932 tragedy struck Charles Lindbergh and his family with what was known as the “Crime of the…
2.5. Statistical analysis Multivariate analysis was performed using two algorithms: PCA and 2-D HCA heat map. The PCA, based on the correlation matrix, was performed using XLStat-Pro 2015 software. The 2-D HCA heat map was carried out with the ArrayTrack, and the Ward's minimum-variance method was used for runs and hydrocarbons clustering. A probability level of p=0.05 was considered as significant difference. The data obtained from the RSM on the hydrocarbon removal were subjected to the…
