A Case Report of Acute Heart Failure Due to Infective Aortic Endocarditis Diagnosed by Point-of-care Ultrasound
Introduction: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life-threatening condition with significant morbidity and mortality, and can require surgical repair.Case Report: A 36-year-old man presented to the emergency department for worsening dyspnea and chest pain. Point-of-care echocardiography demonstrated a mobile oscillating mass on the aortic valve with poor approximation of the valve leaflets, suggesting aortic valve insufficiency secondary to IE as the cause of acute heart failure. The patient underwent emergent aortic valve replacement within 24 hours.Discussion: While point-of-care echocardiography has been well documented in identifying tricuspid vegetations, aorticvalve involvement and subsequent heart failure is less well described. Earlier recognition of aortic valve vegetations and insufficiency can expedite surgical intervention, with decreased complication rates linked to earlier antimicrobial therapy.Conclusion: This case report highlights the ability of point-of-care ultrasound to identify aortic vegetations, allowing for the earlier diagnosis and therapy
A gendered self or a gendered context? A social identity approach to gender differences
This thesis examines the way in which traditional accounts of gender differences in the self-concept have relied on distal explanatory factors, and have thus conceptualised the gendered self as stable across both time and situation. This notion of a stable, gendered self has been implicated as underlying of a range of psychological gender differences (e.g., Cross & Madson, 1997), such as those in moral reasoning (e.g., Gillian, 1982) and ways of knowing (e.g., Belenky et al., 1989). As a result, these behaviours are also seen to be stable across time and context.¶ ..
Girls in the Juvenile Justice System
Juvenile crime has been a controversial topic of debate since the Industrial Revolution. More recently many studies on juvenile crime have turned their attention to sex differences in committing crime and being processed through the justice system. Current statistics of arrest, adjudication, and placement rates for different types of status offenses and criminal offenses will show whether Chesney-Lindâs and other researchersâ conclusions that juvenile females are treated more harshly within the juvenile justice system still holds true twenty years later. Given the literature review and the national juvenile crime statistics, there is strong evidence that suggests females continue to be treated differently and more harshly than males for similar offenses and status offenses
Intermediality and the Cinematographic Image in Angela Carterâs âJohn FordâsâTis Pity Sheâs a Whoreâ (1988)
Dans son introduction au recueil posthume dâAngela Carter, American Ghosts and Old World Wonders (1993), Susannah Clapp rappelle que Carter lâa autorisĂ©e Ă ââtout faire pour gagner de lâargent pour mes garçons,â â câest-Ă -dire son mari, Mark, et son fils, Alexandre. Peu importe le niveau de mĂ©dia utilisĂ©Â ; chacun de ses 15 livres pourrait ĂȘtre mis en musique ou transformĂ© en spectacle sur glaceâ (Carter 1993, ix.). Ce commentaire reflĂšte lâattitude irrĂ©vĂ©rente de Carter envers les arts, une attitude que la fiction cartĂ©rienne exprime Ă travers la multitude de jeux discontinus et troublants sur les cultures savante et populaire dans sa fiction. Dans ce recueil de nouvelles, le jeu carnavalesque avec le mythe amĂ©ricain et la tradition britannique tente et sĂ©duit le lecteur, manipulant ainsi ses attentes par un tissage habile du discours intertextuel et par une expĂ©rimentation gĂ©nĂ©rique. Dans un texte court, âJohn Fordâs âTis Pity Sheâs a Whoreââ Carter navigue entre les reprĂ©sentations cinĂ©matographiques de John Ford, rĂ©alisateur amĂ©ricain du XXĂšme siĂšcle, et la piĂšce de thĂ©Ăątre du dramaturge John Ford du XVIIĂšme siĂšcle dont le thĂšme principal est lâinceste. La nouvelle paraĂźt comme un Ă©cran sur lequel le lecteur est amenĂ© Ă voir le vacillement des ombres de genres et de crĂ©ateurs, favorisant ainsi un sentiment dâincertitude qui alimente lâengagement du lecteur avec les forces sous-jacentes du texte. Celles-ci revĂȘtent la question de la valeur littĂ©raire. La piĂšce originelle a Ă©tĂ© critiquĂ©e Ă des moments diffĂ©rents de lâhistoire littĂ©raire pour son traitement de la question de lâinceste, et la nouvelle de Carter met Ă©galement en avant lâĂ©rotisme comme moyen dâexplorer les forces politiques Ă lâĆuvre dans la reprĂ©sentation de la sexualitĂ©. A travers un jeu adroit avec lâesthĂ©tique cinĂ©matographique, la nouvelle de Carter rĂ©vĂšle des formes de persuasion subtiles, et souvent impalpables. Carter a Ă©crit des scĂ©narios, des piĂšces de thĂ©Ăątre et des piĂšces pour la radio, et elle investit les paysages gĂ©nĂ©riques de sa fiction dâun esprit dâintermĂ©dialitĂ©, soulignant ainsi une extension de la stratification gĂ©nĂ©rique complexe qui caractĂ©rise sa fiction. Dans cet article, jâĂ©tudierai les diffĂ©rents moyens par lesquels la nouvelle âJohn Fordâs âTis Pity Sheâs a Whoreââ exploite les images associĂ©es au cinĂ©ma Ă des fins spĂ©culatives
Direct Care Staff and Influential Factors
The shortage of direct care workers will continue to influence the quality of care that the elderly population will receive. With the projected increase of worker shortages there will be not enough direct care workers to take care of the growing elderly population. With the baby boomer population\u27s need for long term care, the need for qualified staff is also growing. Staff training development and consistent staffing, along with employee friendly benefits and policies will be needed to recruit and retain employees. The growing aging population, along with the increase in demand for quality care drives a need to find a solution to the staffing challenges in long term care. This study uses a mixed method of survey questions and a follow up interview. The findings show that direct care long term workers value consistent staffing, consistent residents and policy and benefits are the largest influential factor in retaining employment in their field
Revisiting the âIntentional Fallacyâ as a Political Mechanism in Angela Carterâs âThe Loves of Lady Purpleâ
âThe Intentional Fallacy,â essai de William K. Wimsatt Jr. et Monroe C. Beardsley Ă©crit en 1946, a marquĂ© un tournant dans le dĂ©bat autour de la figure de lâauteur dans la littĂ©rature, dĂ©bat qui continue de hanter la critique contemporaine. Roland Barthes a dĂ©clarĂ© âLa Mort de lâauteur â en 1968, et la critique continue de traiter de la question de lâidentitĂ© de lâauteur avec prudence, car compte tenu des thĂ©ories de langages modernes, il y a consensus que toute tentative de cerner lâintention de lâauteur est illusoire. Cependant il est difficile de purger la lecture de la contagion de lâintention car le lecteur persiste Ă cultiver une fascination pour lâauteur. Les nouvelles dâAngela Carter jouent de façon flagrante sur cette tendance, et produisent un effet dâintention avec une dominante mĂ©tatextuelle et une prolifĂ©ration de rĂ©fĂ©rences critiques, culturelles, intertextuelles, politiques. En effet, Carter semble taquiner le lecteur avec un jeu de dĂ©chiffrement conceptuel et idĂ©ologique. Jean-Jacques Lecercle dans Interpretation as Pragmatics (1999) insiste sur la complexitĂ© du rapport auteur/lecteur dans de tels jeux littĂ©raires et Ă©tudie lâaffect et les processus dâinterpellation qui sây manifestent. Dans cet article je dĂ©montrerai dans quelle mesure ces processus jouent un rĂŽle fondamental dans lâesthĂ©tique politique de Carter. JâĂ©tudierai lâeffet dâintention avec ses dimensions politiques et affectives comme une manifestation des forces Ă lâĆuvre dans âThe Loves of Lady Purple,â et jâobserverai dans quelle mesure des mĂ©canismes pragmatiques participent Ă un militantisme nuancĂ© qui produit des effets inattendu
