Hi there,
I need someone with a medical background to help me with this project. I need a PowerPoint presentation about: Pulmonary manifestations in HIV patients. This is a large topic to cover. It should include different presentations: infection, cancer, interstitial lung disease (LIP), and vascular (pulmonary hypertension), etc. The presentation should focus on common things (I can help you with that). I might be able to provide you with an article that could cover one or two subjects. The presentation should look professional, as if for a specialised doctor. It should include references, charts, tables, and images as examples. The slides should not be so crowded; some information can be pasted at the bottom of the slides so I can see it. The references should be from medical journal, sites.
I am happy to help with any questions.

Think of an original environmental health risk that people on the planet face (by original, I mean post a new environmental risk that your classmates have not posted yet). What can you do individually, and what can people do collectively to combat growing environmental problems? What is the environmental health risk that you currently face the most?
one or half page.

Select Health Policy Analysis Paper on a local, state, or federal policy that you have explored along with recommendations based upon the analysis.
Analyze and evaluate the Health Policy
Identify application of health policy into clinical practice.

In the ” CAM therapies among primary care patients using opioid therapy for chronic pain” article, CAM is stated to be a treatment method used to treat chronic pain. Some examples they state CAM uses for chronic pain is acupuncture, chiropractic care, herbal medicine, hypnosis, imagery, and so on. You can tell that all of these examples are alternatives in medicine.
Acupuncture is commonly used for the treatment of pain. This type of alternative has been used in Asia for centuries to relieve pain. The pain that acupuncture targets is mostly low back pain, nerve pain, headaches, menstrual cramps, and fibromyalgia. Acupuncture involves fine needles that are put into the pain points. The treatment of acupuncture is a course of 6-12 sessions in a three month period to get full affect. This alternative medicine can be used to relieve pain. The risks of acupuncture are low. The biggest complication of acupuncture is that of putting the needle in the wrong spot, and even then, a physician is inserting the needle so although it can happen, there is a small chance. Another risk would have been the needles and inserting them into different people, increasing the risk of hep B or HIV. It is known now that the needles used are, or should be, in single use needle packages. The benefits of acupuncture can be in alternative to taking pain medications over and over again but instead, by releasing endorphins and affecting serotonin in the body. This method could be a good one to use for those getting treated for opioid or pain medication addiction.

Additionally, Select ONE of the questions below to discuss.
Aristotle was one of the first individuals to study and write about psychological topics. Which of his topics do you think is most important? What do you think he left out?
Early psychologists were, for the most part, White men. How might this have influenced early conceptualizations of psychology and the development of early theories?
Do you or did you ever have an object you believed was lucky? If so, what is the object and can you explain, from a behavioral perspective, how you came to believe in its ability to help you? If you don’t believe in lucky objects, can you use the behavioral perspective to explain why not?
Can we ever really know what is happening in someone else’s mind? Can we even know what is going on in our own minds? Should we try to make behavior and — and our brain — transparent?
NOTE: Make sure you answer all parts of the discussion question.

A 13-year-old boy presented to the clinic complaining of a sore throat that persisted for 2 days. After those 2 days, he developed fever, nausea, and malaise. A throat culture revealed the presence of group A beta-hemolytic streptococci, and the child was started on antibiotic therapy. The child’s symptoms gradually improved, but approximately 2 weeks later, he returned to the clinic because the fever, nausea, and malaise returned. He became tachypneic and short of breath. The mother noted that his eyes were puffy, his ankles were swollen, and his urine was dark and cloudy. On examination, the child’s blood pressure was 148/100 mmHg; his pulse 122 beats per minute; and his respirations were 35 per minute. Orbital and ankle edema were present. Crackles were auscultated bilaterally. No heart murmurs were found. Slight tenderness to percussion over the flank areas was noted. A chest X-ray showed evidence of congestion and edema in the lungs. The patient’s hematocrit was 37%, and his WBC count was 11,200/mm3. Blood urea nitrogen was 48 mg/dL (normal is less than 20 mg/dL). Urinalysis results showed that the patient’s protein was 2+ (24-hour excretion was 0.8 g), specific gravity was 1.012, and there were moderate amounts of RBCs and WBCs in the urine. Serum albumin was 4.1 g/dL (normal is 3.5–4.5). Which evidence supports the conclusion that this patient has a kidney disease? Which clinical pattern of kidney disease does this patient have? Explain the symptoms. Which morphologic changes would you expect in the kidney? What is the prognosis? What are the possible short- and long-term complications of this disease? Is it necessary to hospitalize the patient?
