LASA 1: Case Studies Presentation

/in /by

create a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation to educate a group of medical students participating in their grand rounds. There should be at least ten slides in your Microsoft PowerPoint as well as a title slide and a slide listing all your sources for creating this slideshow. You should also create speaker notes for each slide of your presentation, which include the main talking points for the topic addressed on the slide. 

In order to create your slideshow, review the two case studies and then answer the questions following each case study:

Case Study 1: Isaac is a fifty-nine-year-old man. Several months ago, he noticed a slight tremor in his hands. He assumed this to be a normal consequence of aging. The tremor, however, gradually worsened, along with some muscular stiffness and slowness in initiating movement. The tremor was more pronounced when he was not voluntarily moving. Isaac was referred to a neurologist, who diagnosed him with Parkinson’s disease. After visiting the neurologist, Isaac and his family ask you to further explain this disorder. Isaac also asks about L-dopa as a treatment—the neurologist had mentioned L-dopa as an effective medication but had instead prescribed selegiline:

  • What are the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease?
  • What are the possible causes? Be sure to discuss both hereditary and environmental factors thought to contribute to this disease.
  • What parts of the brain does this disease affect?
  • Why do you think the neurologist prescribed selegiline instead of L-dopa?

Case Study 2: Sabrina is a twenty-seven-year-old woman who recently underwent a corpus callosotomy. Initially after surgery, when given a verbal command, Sabrina demonstrated marked apraxia of the left hand. However, the extent of this issue diminished over time. Answer the following questions about this client:

  • What disorder was most likely being treated by this operation, and how is the surgery performed?
  • In what way is the surgery expected to help Sabrina?
  • What are the risks and benefits of the surgery? Compare these to the risks and benefits of an alternative treatment. If the decision were yours, which would you recommend? Explain your decision.
  • What was the cause of the apraxia?
  • What does the reduction in apraxia symptoms tell us about hemispheric specialization?

Click here to follow tips on creating a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. For this assignment and all Dropbox assignments, you are required to cite, at a minimum, the online course and the textbook for the course. Additional sources are welcome. Scholarly sources are preferred and can be found in the Argosy University online library. For reputable web sources, look for .gov or .edu sites as opposed to .com sites. Do not use Wikipedia.

Throughout this course, you have studied many types of creative writing—short stories, poetry, and plays. You have also analyzed them and studied how these are written. People use creative writing differently in their lives. Some people write poetry to keep their overall creativity going. Some people write short stories to entertain others. And some prefer to read rather than to write. They typically have a couple of genres of their favorite styles of literature.

Where does creative writing fit into your life? How does it improve and add to your life? Do you prefer to read or to write? What genres and types of writing appeal to you? Write a one to two paragraph response answering these questions. Be sure to give specific examples to explain your ideas fully. Edit your writing and correct all errors before submitting it.

Assignment 2: Case Study

You are a clerk for the Virginia Court of Appeals. You have been tasked with reviewing the cases of Able and Charlie. Both defendants have appealed their convictions, and your job is to review the motions for appeals and discuss the merits of the claims raised. You do not need to decide if the claims are correct, only if there is an actual issue raised that should be reviewed by the Court of Appeals. You will need to provide a review of each case and cite specific issues and evidence supporting any possible errors. The whole review should be submitted in a Microsoft Word document.

Case 1: Able

Able has been convicted of both reckless driving, under Code of Virginia § 46.2-862, and possession of controlled substances, under Code of Virginia § 18.2-250. For the purposes of this charge, methamphetamine is considered a Schedule II substance.

Able raises the following points of error in his motion for an appeal:

  1. The search that uncovered the controlled substance violated the defendant’s Fourth Amendment rights as the officer had no warrant.
  2. The methamphetamine was not identified solely by touch during a frisk (see Minnesota v. Dickerson, 1993).
  3. The case was tried by a six-person jury though both charges were felonies.

Case 2: Charlie

Charlie was convicted of both public intoxication, under Code of Virginia § 18.2-388, and murder and manslaughter, under Code of Virginia § 18.2-30.

Charlie raises the following points of error in his motion for an appeal:

  • The death sentence was imposed.
  • Three jurors were not empaneled after they admitted they could not impose the death penalty on any defendant.
  • The defendant’s statements to the police when the body was found should not have been allowed as evidence since the defendant had only been given a Miranda warning the previous day regarding the intoxication charge.
  • The search of the defendant’s car violated his Fourth Amendment rights as there was no probable cause to search the trunk.
  • The identification by lineup was tainted as the witness saw Charlie being brought into the jail prior to the lineup.
  • The statements of Charlie’s cellmate were improperly allowed as evidence. The defense contends that these statements were hearsay and should have been excluded.

In both cases, be sure to focus on the validity of the issue raised and not the actual outcome on any of the issues. Be sure to discuss both sides of each issue. If the issues raised could possibly have changed the outcome of the trial, they should be reviewed by the appellate court.

Note: You can use the Internet to find information about the Virginia Legislative Information System and the specific codes. Support your responses with examples. Cite any sources in APA format.

Suppose that Barton’s contract for the office computers mentioned only the name, Brighton Homes. What would be the consequences if KDM Electronics filed a financing statement that listed only Brighton Homes as the debtor’s name?

/in /by

Paul Barton owned a small property-management company, doing business as Brighton Homes. In October, Barton went on a spending spree. First, he bought a Bose surround-sound system for his home from KDM Electronics. The next day, he purchased a Wilderness Systems kayak from Outdoor Outfitters, and the day after that he bought a new Toyota 4-Runner financed through Bridgeport Auto. Two weeks later, Barton purchased six new iMac computers for his office, also from KDM Electronics. Barton bought all of these items under installment sales contracts. Six months later, Barton’s property-management business was failing. He could not make the payments due on any of these purchases and thus defaulted on the loans. Using the information presented in the chapter, answer the following questions.

  1. For which of Barton’s purchases (the surround-sound system, the kayak, the 4-Runner, and the six iMacs) would the creditor need to file a financing statement to perfect its security interest?
  2. Suppose that Barton’s contract for the office computers mentioned only the name, Brighton Homes. What would be the consequences if KDM Electronics filed a financing statement that listed only Brighton Homes as the debtor’s name?
  3. Which of these purchases would qualify as a PMSI in consumer goods?
  4. Suppose that after KDM Electronics repossesses the surround-sound system, it decides to keep the system rather than sell it. Can KDM do this under Article 9? Why or why not?
