Case Study: You are working as a clinician in a clinic that serves the indigent population. Many of the patients are 50 years old and older, and have chronic congestive heart failure ( CHF). Your manager asked you for evidence-based resources to identify strategies to reduce frequent hospital readmissions. Answer each of the following: 1. Find an evidence-based article that focuses on strategies to reduce frequent hospital readmissions among patients 50 years and older, with chronic congestive heart failure. Reference your article at the end of your initial post. On time post. .2. From your article, what is your PICO ( PICOT,PICOTT) question? Identify your P-I-C-O-T.

Duality of Human Nature. Examine the characters in “The Lottery” as they relate to this theme. Which characters show two sides of humanity? Which characters are seemingly good natured; however, they show a different side during the events of the lottery. Make sure you have three different characters or three different moments where a character(s) show two sides.

The enzyme enolase catalyzes the following reaction in the glycolysis pathway (Chapter 14):
2-phosphoglycerate ® phosphoenolpyruvate + H2O
Dehydration of 2-phosphoglycerate (2PG) results in phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP), which is a high-energy phosphate donor that can be used to phosphorylate ADP to make ATP. Thus, this is an important reaction to set up the final step of the pathway.
Balantidiasis is a disease caused by the ciliated protozoan, Balantidium coli. As it is a eukaryote, antibiotics against bacteria will not affect it. Your research group has recently found that members of the Balantidium genus possess an unusual form of enolase, which may allow you to develop an inhibitor that would affect it (and not the enolase in human cells). You have cloned the gene for the enolase from Balantidium coli, and expressed it in E. coli (which is a bacterium) and then purified the enzyme. You call this BcEno, to distinguish it from the other types of enolase. The polypeptide is predicted to be 32 kDa in size, and protein behaves as a homodimer with 2 active sites in each dimer. It requires Mg2+ for activity and is inhibited by EDTA, a chelator of divalent cations.
