Probability

(Updated)” provided by the instructor. Algorithms are accurate, sophisticated, flexible, mathematical formulas that are designed to be used by the organization or enterprise to combine the weighted patient data elements to aid in determining the probability of a duplication and eliminate errors. The 3 algorithms discussed are deterministic, rules based, and probabilistic. Deterministic- deemed to be about 20-40% accurate with patient identification and they usually have the result of many…

further enhanced by an increasing dose of tramadol and subsequent increases in plasma (+) tramadol levels. The Drug Interaction Probability Scale (DIPS), a tool that has been developed for guiding a thorough evaluation of the strength of causality in ADR attributed to drug-drug interactions, is a widely used and modified version of the Naranjo Adverse Drug Reaction Probability Scale. Applying DIPS in our patient’s case, a score of 5 was obtained, indicating the drug interaction was a probable…

There is no verified historical proof which certifiably cites her as an actual person. That being said, this does not undermine the possibility that Thecla was a real person; rather, it raises the probability that she is a character piece in a popular novel of that era. I tend to believe, based on the writings of Tertullian, Jerome, Origen, Gregory of Nyssa, Egeria, and the author of 1 and 2 Timothy that Thecla is a historical figure, but her actual…

addiction, the standard of care usually lower when considering about sporting injury because participants are forcing on triumph and thus some risks are acceptable and justified. Moreover, the court will also consider the probability of the injury occurring thus the less probability of the injury occurring the lower standard of care required. In other words, the more likely or foreseeable damage or injury will occur, the courts more likely to find that the defendants liability for failing. A…

As described in “The Tall and the Short of It,” small women have small babies because they have nutrients limitations, poor health, and limited resources. For example, if a small woman gives birth to a small child this means that the mother supplied limited nutrients to her fetus. As a result, these children are small in stature due to the lack of nutrients during their development. Therefore, it is predicted that these underweight children will be short in stature when they reach their teenage…

The goal of this paper is to examine the positive account of casual interaction given by David Hume in his An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding. My aim is to explain the way that one’s ideas about a particular cause are related to an idea of a particular effect, such that the first event actually caused the second event. This will require an understanding of the technical philosophical language used by Hume as well as a deep look into the logic he used to build his theory. In the later part…

As we turn to the issue of atheism, I believe some framework is necessary. Atheism is typically defined as a lack of belief in God and it is in the definition of God that the issue arises. Clearly, the two philosophers have a different definition of the word God. As hopefully made clear in the second and third paragraph, Spinoza thinks that God is an impersonal summation of all things (i.e. substance), while Berkeley thinks that God is a personal, thinking thing responsible for but distinct from…

Imagine yourself in a situation where you have received the results of a blood test that indicates you have tested positive for HIV. During the next few weeks you go through feelings of depression, anger, sadness, and despair. You feel confused, and are uncertain of how life will be like from now on. Later, you receive the results of a second test that shows you have tested negative for the disease. You are angry at the physician for putting you through weeks of misery, and want to blame him for…

Creatine is a substance that is naturally produced by the human body within the liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It resides primarily in skeletal muscle, but small amounts can also be found in the heart, brain (Bird 23). In creatine, for optimal use, a normal adult needs two grams per day to see an increase in muscle growth. While creatine is commonly taken as a supplement, it is also found naturally in one’s diet, since it is found in some animals. “Creatine is most recognized for its ability to…

College or not? Just in the United States, there are over 3,000 universities students can choose from! Yet, each year students contemplate whether or not they should attend college—is the cost worth it? College is worth every single penny, because on average college graduates have higher salaries, have more job security, and have better career opportunities. Think about your future family, how will you support them if you don’t find a stable job? Attaining a job that will support you in your…
