Description

In this assignment you will select a client or client system (e.g., older adults diagnosed with depression, women diagnosed with bipolar disorder, families in divorce, people living with food or housing insecurity) and then formulate an intervention plan based on your assessment of the needs of the client system and drawn from evidence-based practice (EBP). Include the following sections in your intervention plan: 1. Describe your client / client system and who you would include in the intervention process o Consider micro to macro level intervention targets (This will differ depending on your choice of client / client system. In some cases, the work might focus on the micro-system such as individual, couple, family, group work. In other cases, the work might focus on macro-level public health interventions such as raising awareness about HIV/AIDS.) o In terms of inclusion, identify which systems, agencies and institutions will contribute to the success of the intervention, according to EBP. 2. State which intervention is deemed to be effective for your client / client system (support this statement with EBP / scholarly sources).

o You can choose to base your intervention plan on any of the following practice models from our course as appropriate: Motivational Interviewing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy Narrative or Solution-Focused Therapy Psychodynamic / Interpersonal Therapy Emotion-Focused Therapy 3. Clearly describe the proposed intervention procedures. o What specific steps are in the intervention process (refer to scholarly sources for information)? o What is the overall goal of the intervention? o How long will the intervention take? o What are some barriers to implementing the intervention? What are some solutions to these barriers? o What strengths does the client (generally) bring to the intervention process? o Why did you choose this type of intervention? What are some other way(s) that you could intervene, and why did you not choose those option(s)? o Who will implement the intervention? (Explain why and how a social work professional can be effective in implementing this intervention with this client / client system.) 4. How will you evaluate your intervention? Think critically about how you will evaluate your practice / program effectiveness. (Refer to your SOWK792/3 class.) Be specific about what you will track and measure (Outcomes? Satisfaction? Process?) and how (e.g. standardized pre-post-tests of what? session/ outcome ratings? rating the quality of activities per week, frequency of positive / negative thoughts per week?) Why did you choose your evaluation measure(s)? How exactly will the evaluation be conducted? • What information will you need to complete the evaluation? • When will the evaluation occur? • Who will conduct the evaluation? • What are some barriers to conducting the e

Radiomics research in prostate cancer

Description

The idea would be to use publically available data from The Cancer Imaging Archive (https://www.cancerimagingarchive.net/) focused on Prostate Cancer with Radiomics tools from “The Computational Environment for Radiological Research” (Deasy JO, Blanco AI, Clark VH. CERR: a computational environment for radiotherapy research. Med Phys. 2003;30:979–985.) and the latest extension to that (Apte et al. Technical Note: Extension of CERR for computational radiomics: A comprehensive MATLAB platform for reproducible radiomics research. Med Phys. 2018;45:3713-3720) to predict Gleason Grade and then test that on new data

Proposed New Photographic Guidelines for Plastic Surgeons Using Social Media Platforms

/0 Comments/in /by

Description

Like the title suggests, this paper is about before and after photos of cosmetic plastic surgeries and making guidelines to standardize presentation on social media apps like instagram. The results and photos are often subjective, but we would like to make arguments to objectify them. I have attached 10/21/2019 Writers Hub – Freelance Writing  the beginning of the paper to help as a launching point. We need another 3000 words. I also attached other papers which examine medical photography. Attached are 22 screenshots from instagram which can be used as figures and talking points in the article (assign a figure number to each one). I can email them to you if they don’t upload here properly. Feel free to screenshot and use other before and after photos from plastic surgeons on instagram (@robertmorinmd , @drdana_nyc , @drghavami , @plastic.touch). The main procedures to go over are breast implant/lift, abdominoplasty, brazilian butt lift, rhinoplasty, and rhytidectomy. Ability to analyze photographs and include more references is needed. Some discussion points: Lighting criteria & angles Hairdo – consistency Makeup (Used or not? Should it be?) BMI change criteria (often used for abdominoplasty and gluteal augmentation) How many weeks or months out? Makes a difference 1 week vs. 6 months out from surgery and a lot of the time there’s no long term photos online on websites or social media posts. Importance of transparency in the profession for patients if they want to take American Association of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) seriously.

Describe how you will evaluate the effectiveness of your program. Make sure to include information on what evaluation tool you plan to use (e.g., questionnaire and survey).Discuss how you will know if your program or intervention is effective. Refer back to your program goal and objectives.

Identify and Critique Measures

/0 Comments/in , /by

The goal of this assignment is for you to become familiar with some of the measures that could be used to assess MFT clinical outcomes.

After you have read the assigned readings, you are to find and critique one measure of one or more key constructs related to your PCF.

Select a measure that you would administer to your clients to guide your interventions and treatment planning. Good sources of measures in the NCU Library include EBSCOhost, Mental Measurements Yearbook with Tests in Print, ProQuest, PsychiatryOnline, and PsycTESTS.

You will complete the Measure Critique Form (found in the Week 5 Books and Resources area) for the measure you selected. Note that we have provided a sample critique (also in the Week 5 Books and Resources area) showing the level of detail expected on this critique.

Be sure to send an email to your instructor by Wednesday of the week the assignment is due, identifying one or more measures you are considering evaluating, so that he or she can provide guidance on the best one to use for this assignment. For example, you will not want to evaluate a psychological test like the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2), which MFTs in most states cannot administer nor interpret. Instead, you should search for a measure of couple and family functioning, although individual screening tests, like the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), may also be acceptable. Again, the measures you select should be relevant to your PCF, specialization, and clinical practice as an MFT.

Length: 6-8 pages Your paper should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts that are presented in the course and provide new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic. Your response should reflect scholarly writing and current APA standards. Be sure to adhere to Northcentral University’s Academic Integrity Policy.

An SBAR is a tool to summarize a need or issue to others in a concise manner. SBAR stands for Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation and is commonly used in healthcare settings to communicate an issue in a single page. Imagine you need to communicate a key issue related to international clinical research to your supervisor, the Secretary General of the United Nations or the FDA Commissioner. Select an issue of topic, policy, problem, issue or program from Weeks 5 through 9 (Conflict of Interest , Beneficence or Exploitation in clinical trials) which you believe requires improved awareness to this policy-maker or high-level decision maker.
