Advanced Practice Nursing
[ send me this paper ]
A 10 page paper discussing the continuing evolution of advanced practice nursing and the resistance it receives from physician groups. Nurse practitioners and other advanced practice nurses have filled significant roles in US health care for years. They have legal rights and the technical expertise to take on much of the burden of providing direct health care services, generally under the supervision of an MD.

Advances in Body-Scan Imaging Technologies
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the technology involved in computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), ultrasound, positron emission tomography (PET), and single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Though medical imaging technology seemed to languish for nearly a generation without much technological advance beyond that which allowed the creation of various approaches, the continuing evolution of the entire health care system seems to be creating an environment in which additional technological advance not only is encouraged but then embraced when it emerges. Managed care’s “bean counting” approach to finance discouraged imaging advance in past years, but ultimately may well be the single most important factor in continuing technological advance in imaging techniques. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

Agammaglobulinaemia and Selective Immunoglobulin Isotype Deficiencies
[ send me this paper ]
A 9 page
paper discussing X-linked agammaglobulinaemia (XLA), an immunodeficiency in which
mature B lymphocyte cells fail to develop and Ig heavy chain rearrangement fails to
progress as it should. The paper also discusses X-linked Hyper IgM Syndrome. Both
conditions can result in decreased levels of IgA, IgG and IgE. XLA has been associated
with greater incidence of colorectal cancer in young adults, but researchers are unclear
whether the increase is related to a life history of greater incidence of infection. Many XLA
patients died before reaching their 20s and 30s in years past, but better treatments are
improving their chances. Includes 2 figures, bibliography lists 11 sources.
