Introduction to Epidemiology Instructions for Critique Assignment Page 1 of 2 Rev 4/2011 In no more than one side of one sheet of paper, address the following questions as they apply to the article. Be as specific as possible (for instance, “The study’s use of the National Childhood Immunization Registry helped to minimize the impact of selective recall,” not “This was a case-control study, which is useful for rare diseases.”). Answer every question even if it does not apply to the study. In such instances, you may say for example “This was not done because it does not apply to this type of study design.” Justify every response that you provide. A simple “yes’ or “no” is not sufficient. You will not get credit for answers that do not provide a justification. Be succinct and to the point. Remember longer is not always equal to better. State what you mean as clearly as possible, I cannot guess what you want to say. You may prepare your critique using in a bullet format, if you choose to respond in essay format, then the essay should unambiguously address each question Unfortunately I am unable to preview your critique and provide comments prior to grading. The ability to critique an epidemiological paper in terms of proper identification of the study design, recognition of strengths & limitations, as well as correctly interpreting the study results are basic skills that are required of all graduates of most well designed public health programs. However, I am able to answer any question related to the critique audio or address questions related to clarification of a critique question if responding to that question does not result in me directly or indirectly answering the question. There is no need to do extra research or look up and read other articles – base your comments on what you can see here, and what common sense tells you. The lecture on “Reading and Critiquing a Paper” will address each of the questions that you are required to address in a step-by-step…

Biology of
Asthma and Allergic Disease

The primary
objective of this assignment is to introduce you to the major biological
concepts that are associated with asthma and allergic disease. This Application
focuses on the role of various biological processes involved in the chronic
illnesses of asthma and allergy. Complete the following steps.

1.Read the
article by Dale Umetsu and Rosemarie DeKruyff, “The Regulation of Allergy
and Asthma.”?Umetsu, D. T., & DeKruyff, R. H. (2006). The regulation
of allergy and asthma. Immunological Reviews, 212(1), 238–255. Retrieved from
the Walden Library Academic Search Premier database. (AN 21667826)

2.Read
Chapter 10, “The Respiratory System: Exchange of Gases” in the course
text, Human Biology: Concepts and Current Issues.

3.Read a
selection of the review articles presented below to gain a better or deeper
understanding of the topic and help you choose a focus area. For your
Application Assignment you must also find at least three primary research articles
in your area of interest. You may use the review articles in your Application
paper, but primary research is required for your research section. Using less
than three primary research articles will result in a deduction of points.

In the first application, you were given some
focus areas. This time, you will do your own research to choose a biological
focus; a specific area that interests you. Examples may include the
“hygiene hypothesis,” windows of exposure, nutrition and gastrointestinal
flora, helminth infections, Tregs, and NKT cells. Read the appropriate optional
articles, and then locate additional review and primary research articles on
your area of interest.

4.Write a
five page (body; double-spaced) review of the topic from a public health
biology perspective. In your review, include the following:

i.Explain the biological basis of asthma and
allergic disease, including an introduction to your chosen focus area;

ii.Discuss
some of the recent (within five years) and current research on the biological
focus area you chose, including study aim, methods, and results of the studies
you discuss;

iii.Explain
the value and application of the above research findings to public health,
citing the studies as needed, and providing some examples of how this
information is or can be used in public health policy, programs, and practice.

Your paper
must provide APA-formatted references for all resources used and adhere to APA
style and format. APA style headers will be expected for the three subsections
of biological basis, research, and public health application. Use subheaders as
needed. A title page and a reference page is required. An abstract is optional.
Use your APA manual, or get help from the Writing Center if you need it.

QUESTION 1
As many authors on this subject noted, Netcare also realized that is necessary to engage in strategic planning in order to survive and stay ahead of other competitors.
The Company set out to provide the following:
Outstanding care to patients
Superb service to all
The best possible clinical outcomes.
Being available in times of need in attending to the healthcare of all South Africans, as could have been seen during the 2010 public health sector strikes.
Netcare also saw the need to provide service to their internal and external customer, because if they do not keep these two customers happy, some-one else will. The internal customer being their own employees and the outside customer their patients and the public at large who makes use of their healthcare services. Furthermore did Netcare form a three key private-public partnership with Government and looks forward to forming more such relationships should the opportunity arises. In order for the organization to implement its strategic human resource management successful in the health sector, the organization has sought to minimize/lessen the…
