us learning the techniques that we would need to write the RA paper, I often did poorly on them (Figure-2). I was summarizing the readings instead of analyzing them, and I often used quotes, but not explaining the use of them. However, the failures of the Critical Reading Exercises have helped me to succeed in the RA paper, where I was able to analyze the resources that I found to support my argument of Cheongsam is “cool” (Figure-1). The RA paper also shows that I have learned how to use…

combination of these factors contributes to glycemia, particularly following meals. Activity of GLP-1, much like insulin, is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (Shaikh & Goldman, 2016). However, the advent of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) to the market in 2005 provided the option to restore this function and better refine glycemic management for people with T2DM…

Rheumatic arthritis (RA) is a chronic disease and with stressful events, can have acute episodes of pain and inflammation (Arthritis Foundation, 2015). Triggers for rheumatic pain are different for everyone and can be caused by one thing or many things accumulated over time. Given David’s symptoms, his recent bilateral knee pain may be the result of a recent flare up caused by work related stress and stress in the home environment. It is not unusual for people with rheumatoid pain to experience…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most familiar form of arthritis (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2017). OA is also referred to as joint failure. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common form of autoimmune arthritis that occurs mainly in the synovial tissue (Murphy, 2017). In normal joints, a firm, rubbery material called cartilage covers the end of each bone. Cartilage provides a smooth, flowing surface for joint motion and acts as a cushion between the bones. In OA, the cartilage breaks down, causing pain,…

Cutaneous Manifestations Rheumatoid Arthritis Rheumatoid Nodules Rheumatoid nodules are the most common cutaneous manifestation of RA. These nodules were identified in 53% of hospitalized patients and 34% of outpatients with diagnosed RA, along with up to 75% of those with Felty syndrome. They are more frequently observed in males of Caucasian descent. In patients positive for rheumatoid factor (RF), 90% had rheumatoid nodules and in seronegative patients, 6% had these nodules (Hata 2006). 10…

colour of Satpanth from the preceding verse, advising the faithful to embody and steadfastly retain the colour of Truth, just as a fabric permanently absorbs the colour of a dye.

to a more definitive diagnosis of RA, and consists of tests such as antinuclear antibodies, rheumatoid factor, C-reactive protein, and erythrosedimentation rate. These particular tests can also be ordered routinely to monitor the patient’s systemic inflammation. X-ray studies of affected joints can also help with the diagnosis as well as establish a baseline to determine if treatment is effective. Currently, bone marrow edema is the trademark sign of early RA, and can be identified with an…

behave on campus and off campus. Being apart of an intricate system like this appeals to me because with the role I would play as an RA would would have an impact on more than just the people in my hall. I believe that the role of an Resident Assistant is to make sure residents feel comfortable, welcomed, and most importantly safe. In order to do these things an RA must be a reliable, trustworthy, and approachable person. Having these qualities go hand in hand with the role…
