Integrative Medicine The field of integrative medicine emphasizes greater personal responsibility for maintaining one’s health

Integrative Medicine The field of integrative medicine emphasizes greater personal responsibility for maintaining one’s health and wellness rather than simply relying on treatment options. This approach stresses the need to actively participate in and take responsibility for a healthy life by using an appropriate range of preventive strategies, biomedical approaches, and complementary and alternative modalities. If you were an integrative medical practitioner, how could you explain this concept to your patients in a way they would be open and receptive to hearing? What are some examples of ineffective ways to convey this information to your patients? Why?

Propose a detailed method to assess your own health and wellness from a holistic perspective that includes psychological wellness, physical fitness, CAM modalities, and stress management. Develop a holistic wellness plan that includes specific activities to develop, improve, or maintain your psychological health, physical fitness, stress management, and resilience. Discuss at least two peer-reviewed research articles that support the scientific validity of your wellness plan.

In this assignment, you will establish the foundation for measles intervention and prevention activities for the intended population in your area. You will apply what you have learned about Public Health, Epidemiology, and Health Statistics. Identify a prevalent immigrant population in your county/state. Describe demographic information (i.e., size of the population, educational level, family size, income, etc.) of the selected group within your county/state. Summarize communicable diseases that affect the population at a disproportionate rate.

Imagine that you are an emergency manager for your local community. Identify the vulnerable socioeconomic populations in your community. Assemble (on paper) a disaster supply kit to distribute to this population. What are the essential supplies? What is the estimate of the cost for the kit? What plan would you develop for distributing the kits to the population? Would you charge fort the kit? Prepare a community bulletin advertising the kit, including a letter of proposal for kit distribution to a vulnerable population representative. How did this process illustrate how a person’s social class makes preparing for a disaster a challenge? Address how interprofessional groups could assist those at the lower end of the class hierarchy.

For this week’s discussion I want you to watch a recent documentary titled’Splicing and Dicing

For this week’s discussion, I want you to watch a recent documentary titled’Splicing and Dicing DNA: Genome Engineering and the CRISPR Revolution’ (Links to an external site.) which was released in 2016. It provides a lot of great information on some cutting edge DNA Technology beyond what we discuss in lecture this week! After watching the video, I would like you to post in the forum but I’m going to leave the topic pretty wide open. Some points to consider (you don’t have to discuss all of this!): How much of this information was new to you? Were you aware of these technologies? What surprised you the most? What concerns do you have about this type of technology? What do you think are the most important or impactful potential uses for this technology?  Since this video is fairly long, I’m not going to require you to find your own reference to share as well but if you happen to find a related article you think the group would find interesting, feel free to share it!

First, let’s differentiate all the detailed vocabulary about all these cells we learned this week.

First, let’s differentiate all the detailed vocabulary about all these cells we learned this week. When looking under microscope what structural differences would you see between two types of cells. Now choose ONE cellular component (e.g. a part of a cell) that is found only in bacteria. Discuss what its role is. -OR- Choose ONE cellular component that is only found in eukaryotes. Discuss what its role is. For your second post, comment on a peer’s post. If they chose a prokaryotic cellular structure, please share whether or not you think that structure would be a good target for antibiotics and why? If your peer chose an eukaryotic cellular target, I want you to think about evolution and the endosymbiotic theory. The endosymbiotic theory states that mitochondria and chloroplasts were initially free living organisms that entered larger cells through endocytosis, but were not digested. What is the evidence, and are you convinced? Why or why not?   Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside source) APA format for in-text citations and list of references
