35-year-old male presented to a London hospital complaining of difficulty breath

35-year-old male presented to a London hospital complaining of difficulty breathing. His symptoms progressed quickly, and he was transferred to the hospital’s intensive treatment unit suffering from respiratory failure, which soon progressed to multiple organ failure. A blood culture revealed gram-positive, encapsulated, nonmotile rods preliminarily identified as Bacillus anthracis. This is the bacterium that causes the disease anthrax, and it has the ability to survive for long periods of time without water or nutrition. The presence of B. anthracis was later confirmed by the Novel and Dangerous Pathogens Division of Britain’s Health Protection Agency.
– What characteristic of B. anthracis allows the bacterium to survive without water or nutrition?
– Where is B. anthracis found?

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area

A literature review discusses published information in a particular subject area, and sometimes information in a particular subject area within a certain time period.
A literature review can be just a simple summary of the sources, but it usually has an organizational pattern and combines both summary and synthesis. A summary is a recap of the important information of the source, but a synthesis is a re-organization, or a reshuffling, of that information. It might give a new interpretation of old material or combine new with old interpretations. Or it might trace the intellectual progression of the field, including major debates. And depending on the situation, the literature review may evaluate the sources and advise the reader on the most pertinent or relevant.
Literature reviews provide you with a handy guide to a particular topic. If you have limited time to conduct research, literature reviews can give you an overview or act as a stepping stone. For professionals, they are useful reports that keep them up to date with what is current in the field. For scholars, the depth and breadth of the literature review emphasizes the credibility of the writer in his or her field. Literature reviews also provide a solid background for a research paper’s investigation. Comprehensive knowledge of the literature of the field is essential to most research papers.

2. Week 10: Discussion – Group 2 150 
This week’s discussion investigates the cardiovascular system and stroke.
Answer the following questions in your discussion post. You can also use other relevant resource videos additional to the video provided.
Discussion Assignment:
What causes a stroke?
What are the symptoms of a stroke?
What side of the body would be affected by a stroke on the left side of your brain?
What is a TIA?
What is the difference between an ischemic stroke verses a hemorrhagic stroke?
How do you manage an ischemic stroke verses a hemorrhagic stroke?
Reference:
A stroke, or brain attack, happens when blood flow to your brain is stopped. It is an emergency situation. The brain needs a constant supply of oxygen and nutrients in order to work well. If blood supply is stopped even for a short time, this can cause problems. Brain cells begin to die after just a few minutes without blood or oxygen.

*Feel free to use additional relevant and reputable resources/videos, in addition to the video provided, to add depth to the group discussion.  When searching for additional resources, be sure they are science based, academic, current and verified as reputable in the modern medical community/practice. A good way to do this is to observe their source and purpose in addition to their production date. A good rule of thumb would be that information is no more than 10 years old and there has clearly not been any new leading research to overturn the validity of the research behind the utilized information. I should also be information that is guiding current, mainstream, medical practices.
