Develop 2 written responses to a recent news article on drug use (might be from a magazine, journal, online news or newspaper).

/in /by

Students will develop 2 written responses to a recent news article on drug use (might be from a magazine, journal, online news or newspaper). In the first (750 words) they present their opinion, substantiate this by using the evidence presented in the course material and from their own supplementary research. Evidence is important – even if you don’t agree with it.

The Conversation is a really good place to go to read the type of response we are looking for in this assessment task – they are generally 750 words and have evidence to support the view

You can write this in first person and it is different from most of the academic articles you will be writing for Uni assessments.
Secondly, students will then summarise their commentary as a 150-250 word letter for publication in a mainstream newspaper.

You will be required to submit both pieces and only the full 750 word version will require proper academic referencing. They can be submitted as one file. please include the original news item you are commenting on.

Please refer to the examples of newspapers and topics below which will help you complete this assessment. You are not limited to these examples but it is a good place to start. Other examples have been posted in the discussion forum at the end of weeks 1, 2 and 3.

What is sleep-induced? What is the role of norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and sleep? Does handling disrupt sleep? What are the various handling procedures? What is the normal sleep patterns of neonatal rats.

/in /by

What is sleep-induced? What is the role of norepinephrine, dopamine, serotonin, and sleep? – Normally, you need to suppress these systems in order to fall asleep and have a good quality of sleep.
• Norepinephrine (noradrenaline)- Epinephrine (adrenaline) – is tied to the sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight), stress (norepinephrine and epinephrine)
• Amphetamine increases norepinephrine and dopamine
• Ritalin (methylphenidate) increases norepinephrine and dopamine
• What are the recommended hours of sleep – 15-16 hours (14 hours) – be familiar with what is the recommended amount of sleep.
• Less than recommended sleep, results in norepinephrine, dopamine, and serotine more active than usual, and if this occurs during 0-3 years of age, it leads to a disruption of these systems – and long-term may be responsible for the symptoms you see in ADHD kids.
• Does handling disrupt sleep? What are the various handling procedures?
• What is the normal sleep patterns of neonatal rats
• What is the normal sleep patterns of the dam (mom)
• What age period in neonatal rats is equivalent to the first 2-3 years of life.
• What dose of AMPH produces sensitization in adolescent rats.
• For how long should the sessions be (the pretreatment phase and challenge phase) – 60 min? 90 min? 120 min?
• What behaviors change with AMPH administration
o Locomotor (the main one we can measure)
o Rearing, stereotypy (sniffing, grooming), etc.

Compare and contrast a carcinogen that is a mutagen to a carcinogen that is not a mutagen. Compare the means of exposure of each chemical and the type of cancer each causes.

/in /by

This unit’s assigned reading focuses on chemical-induced mutagens. As you are aware from the reading, not all carcinogens are mutagens. For this assignment, compare and contrast a carcinogen that is a mutagen to a carcinogen that is not a mutagen. Find at least four peer-reviewed journal articles published within the last 7 years that discuss the carcinogens and the cancer that each causes.

Compare the means of exposure of each chemical and the type of cancer each causes. Be sure to integrate the perspective and information gathered from each article into a discussion in your own words.
Your literature review must include the following components:

an introduction of your topic of choice (include some background information on the origins of exposure and cancer),the methods used to search for the articles,the results of the articles,a discussion and conclusion with your own opinion.

For this assignment, write your own version of a personal statement. In it, explain why you should be admitted—why you have the skills and personality that will make you a successful student in the program and professional in the field.

/in /by

A distinctive feature of the this course is that, most quarters, every single person in the class will eventually have to produce a personal statement, or a “statement of purpose” (the terms are often used interchangeably, although the latter normally refers to a research-focused degree, like a Ph.D.). Most of you are working on one right now. As health students, the majority of the class will write personal statements for one of the major application services, like AMCAS or AADSAS. Some of you are following a different path, and it may require a different tone, or different content, in the personal statement. A distinctive advantage of this course is that we can bend the assignment to fit what you need for your real-world application.

For this assignment, write your own version of a personal statement. Try to make it as realistic as possible; our goal is to come up with a document that you can actually use, as a draft at the very least, when you apply to a program. In it, explain why you should be admitted—why you have the skills and personality that will make you a successful student in the program and professional in the field. In some cases, the personal statement will provide committees with information on which they may ask you to elaborate in a personal interview; in some cases it will replace the interview. In either case, it can be an important evaluative tool for a committee that is attempting to make decisions in what is often a ridiculously competitive environment.

A number of general rules will apply to every personal statement. Clear, concise prose is always vital. Admissions committees always have stacks of personal statements to read, so make every word count. You want to distinguish yourself from that stack of similar applicants, but also convey the appropriate tone.

Further, admissions committees are interested in a concrete account of what you will bring to their school. Part of your personal statement will probably include something about your motivations for wanting to enter the field, but the school will not be looking just for expressions of sincere interest or lifelong dreams. It is best to avoid declaring simply that you have always dreamed of working in medicine—that is not a compelling reason to admit you. Consider instead how you can link your enthusiasm to more concrete assets.

Complete a 1,000 to 1,250-word case analysis of one of the specific cases presented in the textbook or of your own choosing.

The case cannot be one that we used in our class discussions.

You need to choose an individual medical case (examples of cases are Baby Fae, Kerri Wooltorton, Terri Schiavo) and not a general topic (not, for example, abortion or euthanasia).

The basic steps in the case analysis procedure are as follows:

Step 1: Identify the Issues

  1. What are the major moral or ethical issues raised by this case?
  2. What are the major factual issues raised by this case?
  3. What are the major conceptual issues raised by this case?
  4. Who are the major stakeholders in this case? (stakeholders refers to all individuals whose interest could be affected by the decision made in the case).
  5. How are the issues in this case related to the application of technology?
  6. What are the main alternative actions or policies that might be followed in responding to the ethical issues in this case?
  7. What are the major views on the conceptual issues raised by this case?
  8. What facts are unknown or controverted that might be relevant to deciding this case (may require research to determine some facts)?
  9. Determine which moral theories apply to this case.
  10. Identify the moral principles or high-level rules that can be invoked to support a conclusion as to what ought to be done ethically in this case or similar cases.
  11. Weigh the ethical reasons and arguments for each option in terms of their relative importance.
  12. Determine whether there are any unwarranted factual assumptions that need to be examined in each argument.
  13. Determine whether there are any unresolved conceptual issues in each argument.
  14. Decide which of the identified options you would recommend or judge to be the ethically best way to deal with the issue presented in this case based upon which option has the strongest ethical reasons behind it.
  15. Determine how a critic of your position might try to argue against it using other ethical reasons, and present a rebuttal or counter-argument in defense of your judgment.
