...Unit 1 Research Assignment Alicia Ayala MG2650 June 16,2016 Roles of Supervisor Supervision is defined as overseeing or directing work or workers and also to super intend. In order to be a supervisor one must have qualities of both leadership and management. Supervisor requires four different ways that will promotes a corporation and respect so that employees will not want to be led but also to lead and direct. Coach a good supervisor places a high priority on coaching employee’s timelines. The Mentor to give and advice to the employees about job and career. Advocate organizations tells the policies. Advocate of organization reviewing an award. Supervisors emphasize leading, coordinating and directing to work of others in other to achieve the group goals. One advantage of the style of management is that it gives workers a sense of team work and motivates employees. Supervision makes a company feel as if they are working together like a family. Management Management operates through functions such as planning organizing, staffing leading, directing controlling/monitoring and motivation. These functions on able management to create strategies and compile resources to lead operations and monitor outputs. Management can be described as the people who design an organization structure and determine...

...does not treat the immediate issue of getting a knee evaluated for total joint replacement or arthroplasty. The main causes of body breakdown are poor diet, lack of exercise and not getting treatment early enough for minor injuries, which leads to early onset of arthritis. Screening is available to assess bone loss but this test is only available with an order from a physician. Poor diet and attention to the amounts of food people are consuming is a hot topic in the media and in public schools. The volume of food consumed has risen and people waistlines have expanded as a result. Schools are changing the foods they offer and the number of calories children can eat at lunch. Removing vending machines and extra snacks from their daily choices of food is happening in schools too. There is a diet option that not many people know about that when implemented into children’s diets and an early age and continued throughout life can help with obesity that has a direct link to orthopedic health. Super foods give other nutrients the body needs in addition to calcium to maintain a healthy body. According to The Joint Pain Institute, “Generally, the best foods for healthy bones are fresh fruits and vegetables and other whole foods, organically grown. Foods...

...Microfracture surgery is not a perfect solution to repairing torn or damage cartilage but it is the preferred method to repair knee cartilage. It has been performed on many professional athletes who have seen their careers continued on with the advancements of medicine. Microfracture is used as a surgical option for a patient who is diagnosed with damaged cartilage and is in need of treatment to correct the deformity. Microfracture is performed in an attempt to stimulate new growth by the cartilage. When it was first used, “Microfracture was originally developed for the treatment of acute traumatic cartilage defects. It is generally indicated for traumatic and degenerative focal high-grade chondral lesions of the weight-bearing femoral condyles, trochlea, patella, and tibia” (Mithoefer, K., & Steadman, R. J. (2006). The Microfracture Technique . Chestnut Hill, MA). There are many factors to assess before a decision is to be made to have microfracture surgery or not. Some of the factors to attribute to the decision but are not limited to whether a patient has limited areas of cartilage, pain or swelling caused by damage to the cartilage and patients who are active participants in sports or activities but are not limited due to their symptoms. Patients who are not active in sports or activities, unwilling to participate with rehabilitation following surgery or have widespread arthritis in joints. It is very important to ensure that a person is thoroughly evaluated and given...

...Osteoporosis Author's Name Institutional Affiliation Osteoporosis Introduction Osteoporosis is a bone disease whereby the bone is prone to fracture. The name “osteoporosis”comes from a Greek word that means “ bone pore” (Rubenstein, et al 2007). What happens here is the bone mineral density (BMD) starts to reduce. The microarchitecture also reduces in the bone prompting the protein variety to be changed. WHO (1994) defines this condition as having a BMD of 2.5 standard deviation from the normal bone mass. Typically, there two types of osteoporosis namely: type 1 and type 2 .Type 1 osteoporosis mainly occurs in women after menopause. It is also referred to as “postmenopause osteoporosis”. Type 2 often happens after the age of 75. The latter affects men and women in the ratio of 1:2 respectively. There is also secondary osteoporosis which occurs in both men and women of all ages. This type of osteoporosis is rare as it is mostly as a result of lifestyle (Rubenstein, et al. 2007). Lifestyle change is key in the reduction of secondary osteoporosis (Calvert & Old, 2004). Diet change is essential in keeping the disease away. This entails a more healthy diet full of nutrients and loads of water. Exercise is also important but one has to keep in mind that the exercise regime has to be safe. By doing this one avoids fractures. History of Osteoporosis A biologist called Astley Cooper was the first to discover the existence of this condition. Nevertheless, Jean lobstein a...

...Some tissues that are in this chapter are nervous tissue, muscular tissue, connective tissue and bone tissue . Nerve tissue is the way the organs of the nervous system, which consists of the bodies of nerve cells (neurons) and its extensions, and the glia. This tissue consists of cells called neurons very specialized and glial cells that support and nutrition to the above. Nerve cells or neurons: By stars and with many extensions. Are specialized to transmit nerve impulses. They are the only cells that do not play, and when they die could not be replaced. Glial cells: helper cells are to protect and carry food to neurons. Some features are the reception, conduction and transmission of nerve impulses. To detect, transmit, analyze and use information generated by sensory stimuli represented by heat, light, mechanical energy and changes in the external and internal environment. Organize and coordinate directly or indirectly, the operation of most of the body, including motor function, visceral, endocrine and psychological (Marieb & Hoehn, 2010, p. 134). Its main function for muscular tissues is movement. That will be of three types, movement of all internal structures: it consists of smooth muscle tissue and vessels will encounter, visceral walls and glands. Outward movement, characterized by manipulation and motion in our environment. is characterized by being composed of striated muscle. And automatic movement: it works by itself, is the heart muscle.

...Holding fast. Gourville JT. Source Harvard Business School, Boston, USA. jgourville@hbs.edu Abstract CEO Peter Walsh faces a classic innovator's dilemma. His company, Crescordia, produces high-quality metal plates, pins, and screws that orthopedic surgeons use to repair broken bones. In fact, because the company has for decades refused to compromise on quality, there are orthopedic surgeons who use nothing but Crescordia hardware. And now these customers have begun to clamor for the next generation technology: resorbable hardware. Resorbables offer clear advantages over the traditional hardware. Like dissolving sutures, resorbable plates and screws are made of biodegradable polymers. They hold up long enough to support a healing bone, then gradually and harmlessly disintegrate in the patient's body. Surgeons are especially looking forward to using resorbables on children, so kids won't have to undergo a second operation to remove the old hardware after their bones heal, a common procedure in pediatrics. The new products, however, are not yet reliable; they fail about 8% of the time, sometimes disintegrating before the bone completely heals and sometimes not ever fully disintegrating. That's why Crescordia, mindful of its hard-earned reputation, has delayed launching a line using the new technology. But time is running out. A few competitors have begun to sell resorbables despite their imperfections, and these companies are picking up market share. Should Crescordia join the...

...Asian Trek-April 7, 2007: Fossil puts ancient humans in Far East, In 2001 Chinese tree farmers discovered a few bones from an old cave called Tianyuan. The bones belonged to a 40,000 year old human. A Chinese Paleontologist by the name of Hong Shang led an excavation of the site. He found some teeth, a lower jaw bone, and limb bones. But they couldn’t find the gender of the human because Hong couldn’t find a pelvis. There were also no found stone artifacts or other remains. They got the age of the skeleton by measuring the radiocarbon in the bones. The skeleton was a mix of people today and Neanderthals. The jaw, legs, and arms resemble the bones of people today but the teeth and hands are from Neanderthals. That means as the modern humans spread out of East Asia the interbred with other people. But there’s not enough evidence to compare with the new find. This is the second skeleton that they’ve found in East Asia that’s over 35,000 years old. The first was found in Borneo in 1958. The skull was reported by Graeme Barker. Graeme goes to the University of Cambridge in England. He is a journalist for the Journal of Human Evolution. The skull is approximately 39,000-45,000 years old. But since you can’t get an exact age using the Radiocarbon measurements this is what they are estimating the age to be. Now you know about the fossil that scientists believe but ancient humans in East Asia. Thanks for reading. I hope you learned a little about fossils...

...Adam Williams 04/10/2013 Achondroplasia Achondroplasia is a form of short-limbed dwarfism. It occurs in 1 in 15,000 to 40,000 new borns. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. This means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. Mutations in the FGFR3 gene cause achondroplasia. The FGFR3 gene provides instructions for making a protein that is involved in the development and maintenance of bone and brain tissue. There are two specific mutations in the FGFR3 gene that are responsible for almost every case of achondroplasia. These mutations cause protein to be overly active, which interferes with skeletal development and leads to disturbances in bone growth for people with this disorder. The word achondroplasia literally means “without cartilage formation.” Cartilage makes up most of the skeleton during early development, and for people with achondroplasia, the problem is converting the cartilage to bone especially the longer bones of the arms and legs. All people with achondroplasia have short stature. The average height of an adult male with achondroplasia is 4 feet, 4 inches. And the average height for adult females is 4 feet, 1 inch. The characteristic features of people with achondroplasia include an average sized mid section, short arms and legs, limited range of motion at the elbows, and an enlarged head. Their fingers are usually short as well. They usually have a normal intelligence level, however there...

...ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The perineal body (or central tendon of perineum) is a pyramidal fibromuscular mass in the middle line of the perineum at the junction between the urogenital triangle and the anal triangle. It is found in both males and females. In males, it is found between the bulb of penis and the anus; in females, is found between the vagina and anus, and about 1.25 cm in front of the latter. [healthline.com] MALE FEMALE Fibroma A fibroid is a benign tumor growing from connective tissue. It can affect all organs. In most cases, the fibroid has a round or spherical and its growth is slow. If multiple fibroids grow, it is called fibromatosis. Fibroids located within the body are often the subject of a chance discovery and are inconsequential. For cutaneous fibroids, there are soft fibromas (molluscum pendulum) and fibroids hard. For both forms, there is usually a small benign tumor of skin color. The soft fibroma may be pedunculated or sessile and is almost always painless. Skin areas most often affected are the armpits, neck and groin. Fibroma in the perineal area Fibroma in the perineal area Fibroma are believed to develop due to pressure between adjacent areas of skin or between clothing, skin and also because of an injury. Fibroma is common in overweight or obese people and it tends to increase the risk with age and are most common in middle-aged and older individuals. Fibroma is also caused by other medical condition or diseases. Studies have...

...Osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become fragile and causes them to become brittle and break easier. Untreated this will cause it to painlessly deteriorate the bone until it breaks and will cause little to no trauma. Fractures most often occur in the hip, wrist, and spine. All of which would require a trip to the hospital and surgery. In the case of a spinal injury one may lose height and become deformed. This disease is much more relevant for women than it is men, as one in two women over the age of 50 years old have a fracture of some kind from osteoporosis. Naturally over time calcium is lost in everyone’s bones with age. Osteoporosis occurs when that process is accelerated. Calcium determines bone density and without it, you become more susceptible to all of the aforementioned fractures. Many risks that come from lone density and for osteoporosis itself are being too thin and having a very abnormally small frame, in women’s cases an estrogen deficiency, low lifetime calcium intake, possible medication uses that could hinder daily performances, a very inactive daily routine and a possible excess in alcohol use according to our LRC. While some of the risk factors are under our control we have many ways available to us to prevent calcium loss while even in some cases increase bone density. By testing our bones we can determine our fracture risk and pretty much hit a spot on diagnosis. All women over the age of 65 should be scanned, some doctors would recommend...

...skeletal system consists of bones, cartilage, and the membranes that line the bones. Each bone is an organ that includes connective tissue (bone, blood, cartilage, adipose tissue, and fibrous connective tissue), nervous tissue, and muscle and epithelial tissues (within the blood vessels). The three main functions of the skeletal system are:-mechanical, support bones provide a framework for the attachment of muscles and other tissues. Movement bones enable body movements by acting as levers and points of attachment for muscles. Protective, bones such as the skull and rib cage protect vital organs from injury. Bones also protect the marrow. Metabolic, mineral storage. Bones serve as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus, essential minerals for various cellular activities throughout the body. Blood cell production. The production of blood cells, or hematopoietic, occurs in the red marrow found within the cavities of certain bones. Energy storage. Lipids (fats) stored in adipose cells of the yellow marrow serve as an energy reservoir. The whole package of bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons that make up the human skeletal system account for about 20 percent of our body weight — not much for the big job of keeping us moving and healthy. To ensure that your bones stay healthy, aim to consume at least 1,200mg of calcium every day. The best sources of calcium include milk, yogurt and cheese. Other good sources include broccoli, kale, canned salmon with the bones and calcium-fortified...
