A mother brings her three-year-old son into the emergency room of a local hospital. The boy is crying hysterically. The mother says that earlier that day the boy was playing in the back yard with his older sisters. He had gone over to pick a rose off of a rosebush when he suddenly started screaming and crying. There is a region of swelling and redness on his arm and the doctor who examines him says that it looks like the boy was stung by a bee. On physical examination, he is afebrile, with a heart rate of 102 bpm, blood pressure of 90/62 mm Hg, and respiratory rate of 24 breaths per minute and has difficulty breathing. The doctor says that the boy appears to be having a severe allergic reaction to the sting, and he treats him with SC Epinephrine. The mother asks why her son’s arm is swollen and the Dr. says it is because of fluid accumulation.
1. Describe the process of inflammation that might have led to swelling? 2. Enumerate the mediators of pain, edema, and redness? 3. Describe the vascular and cellular changes during inflammation? 4. Mention the type of shock the child is presented with and Why epinephrine is an ideal choice in this setting and elaborate its mechanism of action? 5. Plot the Drug response curve (DRC) of Epinephrine (Agonist) with and without the presence of Beta-blocker (antagonist). 6. What type of hypersensitivity reaction is seen in this child? This type of hypersensitivity reaction is due to the crosslinking of which immunoglobulin on mast cell surfaces? 7. Which cytokines promote class switching of B lymphocytes to IgE?

Are customers more loyal in the East or in the West? The following table is based on information from a recent study. The columns represent length of customer loyalty (in years) at a primary supermarket. The rows represent regions of the United States.
| Less Than 1 Year | 1-2 Years | 3-4 Years | 5-9 Years | 10-14 Years | 15 or More Years | Row Total | |
| East | 32 | 56 | 59 | 112 | 77 | 121 | 457 |
| Midwest | 31 | 58 | 68 | 120 | 63 | 181 | 521 |
| South | 53 | 112 | 93 | 158 | 106 | 184 | 706 |
| West | 41 | 44 | 67 | 78 | 45 | 98 | 373 |
| Column Total | 157 | 270 | 287 | 468 | 291 | 584 | 2057 |
What is the probability that a customer chosen at random has the following characteristics? (Enter your answers as fractions.)
(a) has been loyal 10 to 14 years
(b) has been loyal 10 to 14 years, given that he or she is from the
East
(c) has been loyal at least 10 years
(d) has been loyal at least 10 years, given that he or she
is from the West
(e) is from the West, given that he or she has been loyal less than
1 year
(f) is from the South, given that he or she has been loyal less
than 1 year
(g) has been loyal 1 or more years, given that he or she
is from the East
(h) has been loyal 1 or more years, given that he or she
is from the West
(i) Are the events "from the East" and "loyal 15 or more years"
independent? Explain.
No. These events cannot occur together.No. P(loyal 15 or more years) ≠ P(loyal 15 or more years | East). Yes. These events can occur together.Yes. P(loyal 15 or more years) = P(loyal 15 or more years | East).
Based on data from a statistical abstract, only about 20% of senior citizens (65 years old or older) get the flu each year. However, about 28% of the people under 65 years old get the flu each year. In the general population, there are 12% senior citizens (65 years old or older). (Round your answers to three decimal places.)
(a) What is the probability that a person selected at random
from the general population is senior citizen who will get the flu
this season?
(b) What is the probability that a person selected at random from
the general population is a person under age 65 who will get the
flu this year?
(c) Repeat parts (a) and (b) for a community that has 93% senior
citizens.
| (a) | |
| (b) |
(d) Repeat parts (a) and (b) for a community that has 48% senior
citizens.

The purpose of this study was to identify the performance
variables
i.e. scoring, assists, and fouls that significantly contributed
to
determine a NBA player’s salary. It was hypothesized that
scoring
performance variables such as points per game; field goal, free
throw,
and three point percentage would be significant contributors to
player
salaries.

Article Review Assignment
The article review is an article that pertains to healthcare. The content of the article is described
in more detail later in this page. However, in general there should be about a one page summary
of the article and a one page commentary. The summary is a brief abstract or review of what the
article was about.
This should not include personal pronouns, just information about the
article. Points will be deducted for poorly written summaries. The commentary should be
about your personal experience, your field of study, or how the content will affect your
decisions
. There will be an Assignment tab opened (formerly called Dropbox) in which you can
submit the review.
Article 1:
Medical information, medical errors, documentation, or miscommunication
–
This article should be about documentation in healthcare or how medical information is
important. Current trends in research has uncovered the prevalence in medical errors that lead to
patient injury or death.
Article 2: Financial aspects in healthcare –
This article should be in regards to financial issues
in healthcare. This could include financial burdens on the healthcare system, data about
insurance systems, or ideas on future healthcare financial plans.

Assignment 10.1: Milestone 5: Leadership across Cultures
Assignment Task:
This assignment will assess competency 7. Propose a Human Resource
Management strategy and specific organizational behaviors that are
best suited for global business organizations. Directions The due
diligence analyses on the three countries chosen in Week 01 will
wrap up in this assignment with the exploration of management
decision making processes. For each of your countries, you will
discuss the benefits bringing the diversity of the workforce will
have for your company. You will compare and contrast the various
aspects of U.S. human resource management against those of your
chosen countries. You will examine what motivates the local
workforce and the style of leadership which is prevalent in your
countries. You will contrast those against what our U.S. company
would utilize. A minimum of two pages per country is required and
you will follow APA (6th edition) formatting (no abstract is

A file filter reads an input file, transforms it in some way, and writes the results to an output file. Write an abstract file filter class that defines a pure virtual function for transforming a character. Create one subclass of your file filter class that performs encryption, another that transforms a file to all uppercase, and another that creates an unchanged copy of the original file.
The class should have a member function
void doFilter(ifstream &in, ofstream &out)
that is called to perform the actual filtering. The member function for transforming a single character should have the prototype
char transform(char ch)
The encryption class should have a constructor that takes an integer as an argument and uses it as the encryption key.
Be sure to include comments throughout your code where appropriate.
Complete the C++ code using Visual Studio or Xcode, compress (zip) and upload the entire project folder to the Blackboard assignment area by clicking on the Browse My Computer button or by dragging the file inside the Attach Files box.
This assignment is worth 20 points and will be evaluated using the CIS 221 Assignment Rubric, which is available from the assignment submission area, as well as in the course Grade Center.
