Introduction: Why the study of cancer cell migration is of interest and which tools can be useful
for this study Cancer is a major health problem for humankind, and the approaches to its
treatment have clear limitations.

Oncology has one of the poorest records
for investigational drugs in clinical development, with success rates that are more than three times lower than for cardiovascular diseases. Oncology, as a therapeutic area, is thus characterized by a desperate medical need for new drugs of novel types, i.e., not only drugs that kill cells and are consequently
often toxic. The poor performance of most investigational drugs implies that the standard preclinical disease models are faulty or, at least, improperly used.

As emphasized by Gibbs, the past 20 years have seen a
tremendous increase in our knowledge of the molecular mechanisms and
pathophysiology of human cancer. Many of these mechanisms have been exploited as new targets for drug development in the hope that they will display an enhanced level of antitumor activity and will be less toxic as far as the patients are concerned. Unfortunately, very few of these fundamental research-based hopes lead to clinical success. This failure could be (at least partly)

due to the fact that a large majority of compounds that are entering clinical trials for cancer treatment have been selected in vitro on the basis of their cytotoxicity profile. However, cancer kills patients essentially because of the migratory nature of its cells. Indeed, it is now well established that cell migration plays pivotal roles in cancer cell scattering, tissue invasion and metastasis. For example, processes which are essentially responsible for the dismal prognoses of a majority of cancer patients.

Retention and Turnover

Organizational climate is critical to promoting job satisfaction and retention of nursing staff. To prevent burn-out and reduce rate of turnover among healthcare professionals, healthcare managers ought to keep up with the pulse of the organizational climate. Shortage of healthcare professionals included allied healthcare workers is alarming. Recommendations for retention across all healthcare professional categories include: increased salaries, improved staffing ratios, better health benefits, more input into decisions, flexible schedules, increased support staff, and also continuing education.

Human resources professionals and their senior teams are keenly aware that turnover comes at a high cost. Employee turnover also has a rolling effect throughout any company. In healthcare especially, losing employees has the effect of greater works burdens, less favorable scheduling and low morale. HR departments are left with the task of managing and improving turnover.

As in most projects, the first step in solving the problem is understanding it. Also, many employers will either create a short survey that they try to get in front of exiting employees. Others will schedule exit interviews. The problem with these solutions is that they are time-consuming and also the data is difficult to capture. In addition, the participation rates are low, the responses are not secure and the respondents often do not want to tell all to someone from the company they are leaving. As importantly, these processes may not flag important issues like harassment and intimidation.

This paper is on Anatomy & Physiology – Quality of Life with Dementia. The name dementia is from the medieval foundation from Latin, which means out of one’s mind.

Anatomy & Physiology – Quality of Life with Dementia

The name dementia is from the medieval foundation from Latin, which means out of one’s mind.

For instance, the expression, “the mind is a terrible thing to waste” plays an enormous role in the natural development – ageing. Furthermore, dementia causes the brain to deteriorate over time.

The results of this diseases cause problems with thinking, memory, and also judgement. Additionally, losing quality of life has a gigantic impact on the person and their family.

Quality of life in people living with dementia in nursing homes

Purpose of review 

To describe the impact of living in a nursing home on quality of life (QoL) in people living with dementia.

Recent findings

People with dementia are likely to spend time in a nursing home, particularly in the late stage of the syndrome when declining functional and cognitive ability add to the burden of community care. Although it is commonly assumed that QoL decreases for people with dementia once they are placed into a nursing home, the reviewed studies suggest that self-ratings of QoL are significantly higher than staff and also family ratings, several nonpharmacological interventions may increase QoL and further research is needed that focuses on the influence of care provision.

Summary

Dementia is associated with a reduced QoL that can be partly caused by environment, staff attitudes and limited relationships. Although people with dementia experience variations in QoL across the trajectory of the syndrome, there is evidence that they can communicate their preferences and have meaning in their lives when key factors related to QoL are addressed. Some of these key factors include meaningful time use through activities focused on their interests, social engagement, positive staff attitudes and an environment that allows connection with others.

You are a public health official at the NJDHHS and you

You are a public health official at the NJDHHS and you have been asked to come up with an intervention to address a public health issue.  In a 4 to 6-page essay paper, apply the P.E.R.I. approach to address the problem.  Identify, analyze, and address a public health issue of your choosing.  You must provide a reason for choosing this health issue and why it is important to address it. Now, using data from the CDC, peer-reviewed articles, or other credible sources (and cite them), describe the PROBLEM in general (ie. How prevalent is a health issue? What is the incidence? What population(s) are affect?
Is one population affect more or at higher risk than others? Are there major consequences of the health issue?  (Why is this something public health should address?)

Discuss the  ETIOLOGY  of the health issue  (i.e. causes,  associations)  identify which health determinants  (BIG  GEMS)  are responsible for the health problem,  and/or make it worse using at least one scientific peer-reviewed journal article  (cite article).    Identify at least four scientific peer-reviewed journal articles evaluating a   specific intervention/program   (i.e. IMPLEMENTATION and EVALUATION) that attempts to fix the health problem using either engineering, enforcement, or education* (cite the articles).

Describe the approaches each program uses to reduce the problem.

Was it primary, secondary, or tertiary intervention?
Firstly, what were the methods use?

Secondly, what were the populations studied and why were they chosen?

Thirdly, what were the outcomes of the interventions (i.e. were they successful)?

Fourthly, what did the articles identify as  future  research,  or  steps  to  be  take  to  address  the  problem?

(Use  the  suggestions  in  the articles,  but  also  try  to  think  of  additional  solutions  and  questions  that  need  to  be  answered).  Based on your research (eg. etiology, interventions methods, the populations, the outcomes, and the strengths and weaknesses of the studies) how successful do you think these interventions how successful  do  you  think  these  interventions  would  be  for  the  populations  you  are  targeting?

Using  your  research  as  justification  (eg.  the  description  of  the  problem,  the  etiology,  the intervention  programs  you  reviewed  taking  into  consideration  the  population  studied,  the outcomes, and the strengths and weaknesses of the studies), make a RECOMMENDATION for a future course of action on how to reduce the health issue in your target population. Describe the type   of   programming   you   recommend   and   why?

You   must   be   able   to   justify   your recommendation with your research (*Note:  If research is sparse,  use, and apply articles about a similar health problem or similar populations.  If research is really scarce,  you can base your recommendation on  ETIOLOGY studies. Regardless, you must be able to justify your recommendation.)
