Type I and type II errors

Developmental disabilities are a group of conditions that cause physical, learning, language and or behavior disabilities (Thomas, Cotton, Pan, & Ratliff-Schaub, 2012). In the United States, studies have shown that about 16–18% of children in various populations have developmental disorders, yet only 20–30% of them are identified before entering school (Thomas et al, 2012). As a result of this prevalence, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) has recommended that pediatricians use the…

Prosthetic aortic valve endocarditis without evidence of vegetation Introduction The modified Duke criteria for the diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) include three major and five minor criteria. One of the major criteria is evidence of structural findings on echocardiography such as an oscillating intracardiac mass, abscess or partial dehiscence of a prosthetic valve (1-2). Less common echocardiographic findings of IE include pseudoaneurysm, fistula, or valve perforation. The American…

diagnostic images. Also, there have been situations where the position of the patient's body part or the angle of the imaging device produces possible overlapped images of the appendix and nearby organs. Similarly, when I take diagnostic radiographic images in my field of work, I often get overlapped results. This is caused by varying anatomies of dentition presented by patients, and with the angulation of the imaging device. Such circumstances can lead to a misleading visual assessment of the…

you feel about your fitness testing results and why? I’m very happy with my fitness testing results because I can see a significant improvement on crunches over the year, and I have improved on most fitness tests including pushes ups, crunches, P.A.C.E.R. test, and vertical jump. 2. What health-related physical fitness components did you improve? The health-related physical fitness components I improved are muscular endurance and strength. 3. Discuss the barriers or challenges you have come up…

Chapter 11 Summary and Case Study: The Ethics of Testing and Screening The reliability of machines is not always sufficient in the processing of information. As technology is the forefront of processing data, ethical complications manifest from the incorrect interpretation of testing involving diagnosis and health screening. As the results of the test are concluded, additional concerns develop such as the risk of disclosing personal information, the possibility of losing a job, inability to…

Diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis type 1 is based mainly on clinical findings which meet the diagnostic criteria for Neurofibromatosis 1 which was developed by the National Institutes of Health. Since Neurofibromatosis 1 is caused by heterozygous pathogenic modifications in NF1, molecular testing is rarely needed for diagnosis, and is only useful for certain individuals. The diagnostic criteria for Neurofibromatosis 1 is: 1 they must have six or more café-au-lait macules which are, for prepubescent…

Pompe Disease Plan For my graded unit I have chosen a genetic disorder called Pompe disease as my topic to research and write about. After looking at a number of different genetic disorders, I have chosen Pompe disease. This topic relates to the cell biology aspect of my course, where in cell biology we study the structure, the function and the physiological properties of a cell and through out this report I will be writing about the cells that are affected by pompe disease. This report will…

GAA Deficiency, Glycogenesis Type II, and Glycogen Storage Disease Type II. It is a lysosomal storage disorder that must be passed down by both parents due to the fact that it is a recessive mutation in genes (Type II, 2014). As a lysosomal disorder, Pompe Disease is the inability of lysosomes to breakdown glycogen into glucose and causes the glycogen to build up inside the lysosome (Pompe, 2010). The glycogen build up has specific effects on the muscles of the body I chose Pompe Disease…

variables, whether they are correlated. Disadvantage: Correlation does not mean that one variable "caused" the other variable to change. If the change in one variable affects the change in the other variable, then we say that two variables are correlated. Types of Correlational Designs: There are many methods for correlational studies with their own strengths and weaknesses. One trendy method is called naturalistic observation, which necessitates a researcher to…

The hypothesis that the bubble population without help would have a type III survivorship curve was rejected because the survivorship curve of this population resembled a type II curve. It likely resembled this type of survivorship curve because the population was likely to die at any point in time, since there were no factors to inhibit or encourage the bubbles to pop, but once they hit the ground or any other obstacle, which could have happened randomly at any point in time, they popped. This…
