ONLINE PROJECT Anatomy and Physiology I Online Project

ONLINE PROJECT Anatomy and Physiology I

Online Project Guidelines ◦ Pick a group: work as a group of 2 or 3 ◦ Pick a topic: Any health issue related to a body system that we are covering in A&P II Endocrine System, Cardiovascular System, Immune System, Digestive System, Respiratory System, Urinary System, or Reproductive Systems

Online Project Guidelines ◦ You are going to teach the class about this health issue with a guided Powerpoint recorded in ZOOM. ◦ Topics you MUST cover: 1) Pathophysiology 2) Signs & symptoms 3) Epidemiology 4) Diagnosis 5) Prevention & treatment 6) Prognosis 7) and interesting facts! ◦ Get Creative and Have Fun!

Recording and posting your presentation ◦ Powerpoint Presentation Guidelines Roughly FIVE-minute presentation recorded on Zoom and posted to discussion board on Canvas At least 15 slides, presentation matters – be creative – pictures, animations, charts, etc. , Keep appearance in mind and be sure that the font size is large enough for everyone to see Do not read the slides to us, you can highlight and summarize. You can assume your audience can read, so it’s ok to have more or different info on your slides while you’re speaking.

Formatting and Citing your Sources ◦ APA format – bibliography, footnotes and/or citations, don’t forget to cite any images you use! **You should have your own words and work, not just a collection of quotes ◦ Bibliography in APA format: (see sample works cited page) Should be included as the last slide in your presentation – be sure it is able to be read clearly At least FOUR sources (not including our textbook) ALL must be reliable sources *unless noted as a questionable source, and this would not be included in the four At least TWO scholarly JOURNAL ARTICLE source (utilize the library!)

Pathophysiology ◦ Pathophysiology (a. k. a. physiopathology) – a convergence of pathology with physiology – is the study of the disordered physiological processes that cause, result from, or are otherwise associated with a disease or injury. Pathology is the medical discipline that describes conditions typically observed during a disease state, whereas physiology is the biological discipline that describes processes or mechanisms operating within an organism. Pathology describes the abnormal or undesired condition, whereas pathophysiology seeks to explain the functional changes that are occurring within an individual due to a disease or pathologic state (https: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Pathophysiology) ◦ This should include the definition of the condition, how it differs from the normal ◦ What system is affected and how (be specific)

Signs and Symptoms ◦ Signs = measurable, objective evidence of a disease; evident to others ◦ Examples: blood pressure, temperature, cough, skin rash ◦ Symptom = something felt or experienced by the patient ◦ Examples: fatigue, headache, feeling hot/cold ◦ (Felman, 2018) **What about pain? ? Great place where you could include a complete list and just highlight a few in your presentation

Epidemiology The Who, What, Why, and How of Disease! ◦ Definition from Mc. Graw-Hill Concise Dictionary of Modern Medicine: ◦ 1. The study of the distribution of disease and its impact upon a population, using such measures as incidence, prevalence, or mortality. ◦ 2. The study of the occurrence and causes of health effects in human populations. ◦ 3. The science of public health, which studies the frequency, distribution, and causes of diseases in a population–rather than individual, and examines the impact of social and physical factors in the environment on morbid conditions. How many people are affected? Who gets it? Risk factors? Does it affect different populations differently? How is it contracted or spread?

Diagnosis How do we determine that a patient has this? What tests are utilized? Are there any difficulties or challenges in diagnosis? Some diseases can be misdiagnosed, or present similarly to other conditions

Prevention/Treatment Not all diseases can be prevented or treated – if it can’t you still need to make not of that Prevention: how can one avoid getting this condition? Treatment: are there any available treatment courses? How effective is the treatment?

Prognosis The forecast of the probable outcome or course of a disease; the patient's chance of recovery (Shiel, 2018) You can include information about the prognosis with vs without treatment how this will affect their quality of life how it affects the lifespan

Interesting Facts This section is very open-ended and gives you a chance to be creative. You could include cutting edge or emerging treatment options, something that you found being studied in the literature as far as the epidemiology or links to other conditions for example, famous people who have the condition, weird or alternative therapies available, how it was discovered, how it was treated in the past, etc… Anything that you found interesting about the condition when you were doing your research

Post your Presentation to Discussion Board ◦ Save/Convert your zoom video. ◦ DUE 11/22 (-5 pts for each day late) ◦ Upload your post in the discussion board ◦ DUE 11/25 ◦ Watch your classmates’ presentations and post at least 3 questions (each question to a different presentation) ◦ Try to spread out the questions, if you notice someone doesn’t have a question yet, try to post to theirs ◦ DUE 12/2 ◦ Answer your classmates’ questions posted to your presentation ◦ You can research the answer, and I am available for help if you can’t find the answer (sometimes a question doesn’t have a known answer!)
