We timed customers at 6 different restaurants: From the time they ordered their food till it was delivered. We also took note of the appearance of the restaurant, employee attitude and over-all cleanliness. Red Lobster and Olive Garden were chosen because of their similar styles of service, casual dining restaurants. Logan’s and Ruth Chris were chosen because they’re both steak-houses. Foosackly’s and Five Guys were chosen because of similar service styles, grab and go. Devon recorded the food service response times on Saturday March 24, 2012. His data was collected from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm, at the Red Lobster on Airport Blvd in Mobile, Alabama. Devon noted that upon entering Red Lobster that a pleasant smell of butter biscuits was wafting in the lobby and he was greeted...

...Sexually transmitted diseases For my research paper I decided to write on sexually transmitted diseases because it seems that we are hearing more and more about them. They are becoming more of a problem in the United States and it is fair to say that they are not going to go a way for a long time, if even at all. Sexually transmitted diseases can change a person’s life and even kill them. If a person wants to be sexually active they must understand the risks that are involved and how they can protect themselves. The first sexually transmitted disease that I want to talk about is chlamydia. Chlamydia, first of all, is a bacteria. The chance of being infected with chlamydia is very high among teenagers and young adults due to sexual activity. Chlamydia is transmitted through sexual contact, mainly vaginal or anal. It also has to be transmitted by someone that has been infected. Many people that have chlamydia do not even know they are infected, because they do not show any symptoms. To be exact, according to Engender Health, “there are about 75% of infected women and half of infected men have no symptoms of chlamydia.” The risk of a person becoming infected is very high if the person is engaging in unsafe sex, having sex with more than one partner, and being in a sexual relationship with someone who has multiple sex partners. To protect yourself and reduce your risk one should use condoms during sex, and limit your number of sex partners. (Engender Health) The symptoms...

...This condition is diagnosed by: Medical history. Physical exam of the vagina. Testing a sample of vaginal fluid under a microscope. This sample may show a large amount of bad bacteria or the presence of abnormal cells. Doing an acidic test (pH test) of vaginal fluid. How is this treated? This condition is treated with: Antibiotic medicines. These may be given in the form of a pill or a vaginal cream. A second round of antibiotic medicine. This is done if the condition comes back after treatment. Because bacterial vaginosis increases your risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), getting treated can help reduce your risk for chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, and herpes. Follow these instructions at home: Take over-the-counter and prescription medicines only as told by your health care provider. Take or use your antibiotic medicine as told by your health care provider. Do not stop taking or using the antibiotic even if you start to feel better. Tell all sexual partners that you have a vaginal infection. They should see their health care provider and be treated if they have problems, such as a mild rash or itching. During treatment, it is important that you follow these instructions: Avoid sexual activity or use condoms...

...Running Head: ADOLESCENTS AND SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES Adolescents Risky Sexually Behaviors and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Shemeka Y. Coleman Limestone College Abstract In today’s society many adolescents are engaging in risky sexually behavior that is leading to a widespread of sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s). Adolescents are at a high risk of sexually transmitted disease because of the lack of sexually education and knowledge about sex in general and the effects and consequences of engaging in risky sexually behavior without the proper education or knowledge of the activities in which they choose to engage. Over a third of all high school students report being sexually active and of those students, ¼ will contract a sexually transmitted disease before they even graduate from high school. This results in over a million teenagers a year who will get some type of sexually transmitted disease. (Krowchuck, 1998). Most adolescents do not have knowledge of exactly what a sexually transmitted disease is, let alone the different types of sexually transmitted diseases. With proper education of the different types of sexually transmitted diseases, symptoms, and prevention methods, adolescents will be better equipped and prepare for the consequences of the action of engaging in sexually behavior will occur. Adolescents Risky Sexually Behaviors and Sexually Transmitted Diseases On high school campuses around...

...Running Head: THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV/AIDS The Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS Michael Reynolds Grand Canyon University: NRS-434V 08/28/2014 THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF HIV/AIDS 2 The Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS In June of 1981 the CDC published a report titled “Pneumocystis Pneumonia – Los Angeles.” This report is often noted as the beginning of AIDS awareness (Avert.org, 2014a). Since its discovery, the World Health Organization (WHO, 2014) estimates over 33 million people have been infected worldwide, 47% women and 33% children ages 15-24. More than 25 million men, women and children have died from this devastating viral infection. It is a worldwide pandemic that affects only humans. The virus is called the (H) human – it only infects human beings, (I) immunodeficiency – it works by inhabiting and destroying the T-cells (CD4), which are the fighter cells against body infections, and (V) virus – an infectious agent that replicates inside the living cells of a living organism and cause damage to its host (Aids.gov, 2014f). Normally our CD4 cells eradicate viruses, such as the common cold. HIV is unusual in that it hides within and destroys our “fighter” cells. Not only does the HIV virus hide and replicate itself in our T-Cells, it is believed to morph over time. Imagine a bank robber hiding from the police by wearing a police uniform and pretending to be one of them. Now imagine that the bank robber can change his disguise, add a mustache or dye his hair, just before the police suspect and...

...Culture and Disease: Trichomonas University of Phoenix Culture and Disease: Trichomonas According to the Clinical Microbiology Reviews (2009), Trichomoniasis is a parasitic protozoan that is transmitted principally through having vaginal intercourse. Trichomoniasis is seen mostly in women but men can also contract it usually without having any symptoms of being infected. (Shafir, S. C., and F. J. Sorvillo, 2006). I will be discussing the factors, modes for disease transmission, methods used to control, and the treatment of Trichomoniasis. A protozoa is the smallest single-celled members of the animal kingdom Carson-DeWitt, R. M. & Frey, R. P. (2006). It infects millions of people worldwide and researchers have found that it can cause inflammation of the prostate by infection on men. When women come in contact with trichomoniasis, their symptoms consist of a foul smell, and a heavily frothy yellow discharge that comes from the vagina. The genital area also comes along with itching and pain when urinating or having sexual intercourse Carson-DeWitt, R. M. & Frey, R. P. (2006). Because men don’t usually have symptoms, they won’t realize they are infected, leaving the infection to settle in. In some states the test for trichomiasis vaginalis can be ordered from the internet free of charge to young girls and also to women of childbearing age and also to assist with finding out if they are infected and refer them to free clinics for follow up treatment...

...Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a lentivirus (a member of the retrovirus family) that causes acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS),[1][2] a condition in humans in which progressive failure of the immune system allows life-threatening opportunistic infections and cancers to thrive. HIV infects vital cells in the human immune system such as helper T cells (specifically CD4+ T cells), macrophages, and dendritic cells.[3] HIV infection leads to low levels of CD4+ T cells through three main mechanisms: First, direct viral killing of infected cells; second, increased rates of apoptosis in infected cells; and third, killing of infected CD4+ T cells by CD8 cytotoxic lymphocytes that recognize infected cells. When CD4+ T cell numbers decline below a critical level, cell-mediated immunity is lost, and the body becomes progressively more susceptible to opportunistic infections. Classification HIV is a member of the genus Lentivirus,[4] part of the family of Retroviridae.[5] Lentiviruses have many morphologies and biologicalproperties in common. Many species are infected by lentiviruses, which are characteristically responsible for long-duration illnesses with a long incubation period.[6] Lentiviruses are transmitted as single-stranded, positive-sense, enveloped RNA viruses. Upon entry into the target cell, the viral RNA genome is converted (reverse transcribed) into double-stranded DNA by a virally encoded reverse transcriptase that is transported along with the viral genome...

IMAGINE SELLING BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN CHIPS A YEAR! Americans know Frito-Lay brands at sight: Doritos, Fritos, Lay’s, Cheetos, Ruffles, Rold Gold, and Baked Lay’s, to name its most popular. But how did Frito-Lay get where it is today? How has the company developed such astounding sales and loyalty among chip aficionados? Much of it has to do with Frito-Lay’s promotional plan, encompassing advertising, sales promotion, public relations, and personal selling. With a $30 million a year U.S. ad budget, Frito-Lay has plenty of opportunity to get its message of great-tasting snacks across to consumers. Frito-Lay has been a long-time repeat advertiser during the annual Super Bowl telecast, shelling out more than a million dollars for just one ad during the program. The vast audience provided by the Super Bowl telecast has proved to be an excellent launching pad for Frito-Lay’s new brands, such as Baked Lay’s Potato Crisps in 1995 and Lay’s Deli Style Potato Chips in 1998.

...Preface A well-developed knowledge of clinical microbiology is critical for the practicing physician in any medical field. Bacteria, viruses, and protozoans have no respect for the distinction between ophthalmology, pediatrics, trauma surgery, or geriatric medicine. As a physician you will be faced daily with the concepts of microbial disease and antimicrobial therapy. Microbiology is one of the few courses where much of the "minutia" is regularly used by the practicing physician. This book attempts to facilitate the learning of microbiology by presenting the information in a clear and entertaining manner brimming with memory aids. Our approach has been to: 4) Create a conceptual, organized approach to the organisms studied so the student relies less on memory and more on logical pathophysiology. The text has been updated to include current information on rapidly developing topics, such as HIV and AIDS (vaccine efforts and all the new anti-HIV medications), Ebola virus, Hantavirus, E. coli outbreaks, Mad Cow Disease, and brand-new antimicrobial antibiotics. The mnemonics and cartoons in this book do not intend disrespect for any particular patient population or racial or ethnic group but are solely presented as memory devices to assist in the learning of a complex and important medical subject. We welcome suggestions for future editions. 1) Write in a conversational style for rapid assimilation. 2) Include numerous figures serving as "visual memory tools" and summary charts...
