Incidence Density

/in /by
  1. Investigators enrolled 2,100 women in a study and followed them annually for four years to determine the incidence rate of heart disease. After one year, none had a new diagnosis of heart disease, but 100 had been lost to follow-up. After two years, one had a new diagnosis of heart disease, and another 99 had been lost to follow-up. After three years, another seven had new diagnoses of heart disease, and 793 had been lost to follow-up. After four years, another 8 had new diagnoses with heart disease, and 392 more had been lost to follow-up.

    The study results could also be described as follows: No heart disease was diagnosed at the first year. Heart disease was diagnosed in one woman at the second year, in seven women at the third year, and in eight women at the fourth year of follow-up. One hundred women were lost to follow-up by the first year, another 99 were lost to follow-up after two years, another 793 were lost to follow-up after three years, and another 392 women were lost to follow-up after 4 years, leaving 700 women who were followed for four years and remained disease free.

    Calculate the incidence density of heart disease among this cohort. Assume that persons with new diagnoses of heart disease and those lost to follow-up were disease-free for half the year, and thus contribute ½ year to the denominator.

This article discussed organizational behavior research and its effectiveness in organizations using a self-determination theory and broaden-and-build theory. Through this research they utilized the moderate mediation framework, where a leaders accomplishments would mediate between the servant leadership and leaders innovative behavior. The results showed the indirect effect of servant leadership behaviors on their innovative behavior via a sense of accomplishment. This study was conducted to find out how servant leadership effects the leader, not so much the subordinates. The end state being if the leader is feeling motivated, that will trickle down to the employees. This article is relevant due to it focusing on the leader himself, and proved if he is motivated and being a good servant, his employees will follow in suit. This article applies to the pillar of Servant Leadership and is scholarly because it is published in a peer-reviewed journal.

This article discusses the ways in which university labs are encouraging entrepreneurship and the bearing it has on occupational paths. This study observes which type of university labs encourage entrepreneurship as well as what were encouraged by those labs. The author states, despite concerns, encouraging entrepreneurship has no effect with academia or the validity of the research being conducted. The main point of this article is ways entrepreneurship can be integrated by doctoral students into

MANUAL DIFFERENTIAL Worksheet STUDENT NAME: _____________________ Answer the following questions, referring to your clinical site’s policies and procedures as needed. 1. Given the accuracy of modern CBC analyzers, why are manual differentials and smear

reviews still performed at all? 2. List any WBC characteristics or inclusions reported as a part of the manual differential. NOTE:

This is not a listing of cell types. 3. Describe the process of quantifying RBC morphology.

 

4. Why are some RBC morphologic abnormalities noted as “Present” instead of with the semi- quantitative ranges (1+, 2+, 3+)?

5. List any platelet characteristics or abnormalities reported as part of the manual differential.

6. Why is it still sometimes necessary to perform manual WBC and platelet estimates from the stained peripheral blood smear?

7. What smear characteristics would make you suspect that the blood specimen is too

old/beyond the stated acceptable stability limits? 8. What is the process in place at your clinical site for responding to first time significant

abnormal findings for a patient? (For example, the finding of 75% blasts on the peripheral blood smear.)

We talked in this unit about the importance of a positive culture in the fire service organization when it comes to accepting and implementing a community risk reduction (CRR) program. However, some organizations are simply resistant to change. If you accepted a leadership position in a fire service organization that was resistant to change, what initial steps would you take to create an accepting culture?

 

 

 

7

Imagine that you are two years into your community risk reduction (CRR) plan; the data is showing unchanged risk levels, requiring major plan modifications. Thinking about the plan that you developed in this course, what are two ways you can address the issues with community leaders to maintain buy-in and keep everyone committed to the plan?

Identify a task that you would need to perform in your current career or future career, and explain how you would apply the knowledge you have learned in this course to succeed at performing the task in a real-word scenario. As an emergency services leader, how can you use the concepts from community risk reduction in your own organization?
