A new virulent (so severe) infectious disease breaks out in the US and it seems to spread quickly. By now you work for the CDC or for the state in the public health sector. What are the first three things you would recommend the government implement to protect the public short-term or long-term? Briefly discuss why. Remember to give one good reference that is a scientific article or CDC or WHO source. No news articles or blog posts.

In the U.S today, there is a critical shortage of many health care professionals due to the pandemic burnout. However, not only may there be a shortage but a maldistribution of providers. There is a difference between a Shortage (not enough professionals overall ) and Maldistribution (uneven distribution of professionals by either geographic or specialization). This is an issue across the U.S. Healthcare System.Rural areas are affected most because of long distances to health systems and the lack of professionals that willing to work in these regions. Discussion Instructions Scenario: After moving to a rural community to become CEO of a Federally Qualified Health Clinic (FQHC), you find there are not enough providers to meet the needs of your clients. One of the initiatives is to work on increasing the professional work force in your facility. Many of your clients are elderly and finding professional that specialize in geriatrics is very important. Questions to Answer Research and…

Locate a health policy that impacts wide segments of United States citizens. Give the facts about the policy, who it impacts, describe the current discussions on the policy (what do citizens think about it found in the media) and why is it an important policy?  Upload the link to where the policy can be read.

A hospital manager wants to predict how many beds will be needed in the geriatric ward. He asks you to design a neural network method for making this prediction. He has data for the last 5 years that cover: • The number of people in the geriatric ward each week. • The weather (average day and night temperatures). • The season of the year (spring, summer, autumn, winter). • Whether or not there was an epidemic on (use a binary variable: yes or no). Design a suitable MLP for this problem, considering how you would choose the number of hidden neurons, the inputs (and whether there are any other inputs you need) and the preprocessing, and whether or not you would expect the system to work.

Please answer this question What are the government and RT role during mass casualty.

Which of the following statements about the role of epidemiology in health policy is the most appropriate?   a. Epidemiology contributes to the development of evidence-based health policies   b. Evidence from experimental epidemiological studies is mandatory to advocate for a health policy   c. Once a health policy has been implemented, epidemiology helps in evaluating its effectiveness   d. Both a and c are correct   e. Both a and b are correct   f. All the options are correct

Pick a specific microbiome (i.e. skin, mouth, gut, reproductive) and discuss interesting points and how it is important to human health/diversity/etc. Here you can discuss any aspect of the microbiome that you like. Whatever is of most interest to you personally for example the uniqueness of an individual’s microbiome or disease states due to disruptions in bacterial communities, etc. Find a recent (2015 or newer) primary research article that investigates some aspect of the microbiome environment that you discussed in question 2 and discuss the findings and how it has increased our understanding of the microbiome.

What is a notifiable disease? Group of answer choices A disease that is highly contagious. A disease that must be reported to the CDC. A disease that has a high mortality rate A disease that is suspected to be caused by terrorists.

The figure below shows the number of bacteria/ml in a series of patient's samples collected and cultured over time, and the resistance of these bacteria to a given antibiotic. This shows all of the following EXCEPT: Bacteria (number/ml) 108 107 106 105 104 103 0 Initiation of antibiotic therapy Bacteria count 1 2 3 5 6 Days Copyright © 2007 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings. Antibiotic resistance of bacterial population measured by amount of antibiotic needed to control growth 4 7 8 9 10 11 50 40 30 6 Antibiotic resistance (mg/ml) After an initial decline, the number of bacteria eventually rises again as antibiotic- resistant bacteria emerge and multiply At the beginning of antibiotic therapy, most of the bacteria were already resistant to 50 mg/ml of the antibiotic After about 5 days of treatment, the bacteria in the patient's samples were resistant to 50 mg/ml of the antibiotic None of the other four answers (All of these statements are true)

share your opinion on the most significant barrier a clinical research professional may face in recruiting and retaining study subjects in a pandemic environment. identify a strategy that would effectively overcome the previously identified recruitment and retention barrier. Describe how you would implement the strategy as a clinical research coordinator considering local dynamics and the pandemic environment.
