Author: Peggy Babson ( Master Teacher) Date: Tuesday, February 16, 2010 10:27:40 AM EST Subject: RE: Question on ImageJ Hi AE- When you downloaded ImageJ, did you get a little microscope icon on your desktop? If so, double click on it to open the program, then go to file to open an image you've downloaded. If this doesn't work check with your site coordinator and see if you downloaded the program correctly. Let me know. **// Miss Babson //** Author: Peggy Babson Posted date: Wednesday, February 17, 2010 12:49:02 PM EST Hi AE I'm pretty sure you'll have to import your images separately. If they are in a document they don't seem to carry over when you copy the document.

This set of interactions contains one student initial post, three student replies and one TA reply. __**Author KD INITIAL POST**__ (Student) Subject: First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device** Subject: First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device - KD**
 * Posted date: Monday, March 22, 2010 4:35:09 PM EDT
 * My article is called “First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device” found on the website: http://www.news-medical.net/news/20091112/First-pediatric-hospital-to-discharge-child-with-mechanical-heart-assist-device.aspx. This article talks about a break through in health care in relation to the circulatory system; for the first time, a pediatric patient (16-years-old) was released with a newly implanted intracorporeal ventricular assist device (VAD) which is basically a mechanical heart pump. Dr. David L. S. Morales implanted the pediatric patient with the heart pump and aspires that the heart pump will improve the child’s quality of life by helping the patient both grow stronger and be able to do more daily tasks such as eating well and exercising. Texas Children’s Hospital now has earned themselves the title as the first pediatric hospital to use this VAD, called the HeartMate II, on a pediatric. What is notable about the hospital is that since April 2008, there have been several other pediatrics who have been released with an implanted VAD. The HeartMate II works like a heart and is actually inside the body, which is a great feature for such technology. **
 * I chose this article to present because I think it is great that health care has come this far in actually allowing the ability to have an implant such as this type on a pediatric. This article has shown that the HeartMate II will have the ability to help improve the circulatory problems of heat failure patients.

Author: LR (Student) Posted date: Monday, March 22, 2010 5:09:01 PM EDT __Subject: RE: First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device -__ I did an article on the heartmate II also. I think that it's great that kids who are having heart failure or heart problems and need to wait for a heart transplant etc. can undergo the surgery to obtain this "heartmate" and usually leave the hospital when originally they would have had to basically stay in the hospital and wait on a transplant and maybe not make it. Now these kids can still live a partially normal life and in my article it said that this device can sometimes help to cure the patient of their heart disease enough that they no longer need a transplant.

Author: CM (Student) __Posted date: Tuesday, March 23, 2010 11:01:04 PM EDT__ Subject: RE: First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device - Hey KD This is so amazing! It is great to see how the medical field is progressing all the time. It is great that this patient is getting the chance at living a much normal life. This has less of a wait with it also which is great. It allows patients to start getting better faster, and are not in need of a transplant.

Author: ST (Student) Posted date: Wednesday, March 24, 2010 12:14:25 AM EDT __Subject: RE: First pediatric hospital to discharge child with mechanical heart assist device__ - I also read this article. I thought this was a very encouraging story for those waiting for a heart transplant. It is great that people whose hearts are not able to support them will now be able to possibly rely on machines to keep them alive, and even help them maintain their active lifestyle. This article offers hope to society. It shows that in the future, doctors may be able to prevent the deaths of children on the wait list for a heart transplant by implanting a mechanical device in the child. This will greatly improve the survival rate of children with defective hearts. This relates to our class because it deals with the function of the heart muscle and how the muscle functions.

Author: Sylvia Willcox ( TA) Posted date: Thursday, March 18, 2010 4:58:41 PM EDT Hi K, This information in your article article certainly does affect society as a whole, and pediatric heart patients in particular. __Good Choice!__ //Ever since Dr. Christian Bernard successfully performed the first human heart transplant in 1967 the medical community has been searching for a mechanical substitute for the human donor heart. Looks like that may happen soon. Ms. Willcox//

__** 3.Miss B. and Student K Solve A Problem Together. Taken From Student K's Private Thread. **__ __Below is an example from my student teaching class of student/teacher interaction. I choose this example because it shows a revealing interaction between the Master Teacher, Miss B. and a student in her A&P Class__. The student's life is basketball, but he is also a dedicated student that sometimes has a few problems with technology. He is suppose to be doing a dissection of a chicken leg at home over the weekend, taking digital photos of the process and then submitting them with text. __This example of interaction is important because it shows how a facilitator can be sensitive and flexible while still holding the line.__ Knowing the student is not a technology wizard she points him in the right direction for help. She also comes to an acceptable compromise for his dilemma. __It is valuable because it shows how a problem can be solved using good communication that is sensitive to the age, and needs of the student, while respecting the class expectations.__ //The result is a win/win for everyone. The student is happy, the teacher is happy and the work got done.//

Author: KW Posted date: Sunday, March 7, 2010 4:04:25 PM EST ( Student) I realize this is very late, but I wanted you to know I still did the work. I constructed a ball and socket joint out of an empty chalk container, a whiffle ball, and a broken fiberglass numchuck half. The images are too big to directly insert, so I attached them as links. The ball and socket joint has the least limitation of all the joints, and can be found in your shoulder or hip. If you swing your arm around in big circles, you can see first hand the limitations of a ball and socket joint. Physically, the joint is one ball shaped end of a bone that fits into the cup shaped end of another bone.

For future reference, here is how to deal with late assignments. Frst, notify me that you have late work, including why the assignment is late. After hearing from me, post the late assignment in the late work blog, not in your PT. It makes it much easier for me to find and grade the assignments. Miss B.

Author: KW Okay- sorry for the mix up.

Author: KW Posted date: Thursday, March 11, 2010 11:50:38 AM EST I'm having trouble with 6-2 because I don't know how to take screen shots and instead I have print, scan, and upload the screens. I have it done and printed I just need to get everything uploaded. The problem is the only scanner I'm able to use is at home and not at school. I know that it seems that I've been slacking recently on my work, but in the last few weeks my basketball team has been winning in the state tournament and my time for school has dropped. On Tuesday we won the sectional title and tonight we have a play-in game for the state championship game. I know its not an excuse but I was hoping for a little more leniency on the chicken leg lab- I won't have time to do it until probably Saturday. I know that basketball is no excuse for no work- all I am saying is that I will get the work to you, but it will just be late. Sorry and thanks

Author: Peggy Babson Date: Thursday, March 11, 2010 5:44:37 PM EST Subject: RE: 6-2 Hi Kyle- Get the lab done and post it to the late work blog when you are finished. You'll lose a point or two, but you'll still be able to earn a good grade. As far as taking screenshots, go to the course documents and look under technical instructions. There are directions for both Mac and PC there. Good luck with your play-in game. They don't do that in Ohio - our teams just advance as they win. Let me know how your team does!

Date: Friday, March 12, 2010 12:11:17 AM EST Subject: RE: 6-2 I also just posted the screen shots in my week 6 anatomy journal. Thank you for your leniency and understanding!

Author: Peggy Babson (Master Teacher) You're welcome. I can't wait to hear about how you do this weekend.

Author: KW Date: Friday, March 12, 2010 12:07:45 AM EST Subject: RE: 6-2 Miss B We won tonight! This win puts us in the state championship game for our group. The game will be on Sunday at Rutgers- I am very excited!! Subject: RE: 6-2 Author: Peggy Babson That’s AWESOME! Good luck this weekend!!! Miss B

Author: KW Date: Monday, March 15, 2010 7:50:52 PM EDT Subject: RE: 6-2 We lost last night :/ We never really had much of a shot-- the team we pAlayed had three 6'7'' kids and we just couldn't handle them. As disappointing as it is, we at least are the North Group 2 Section Champs and I think I can be satisfied with that.

Author: Peggy Babson Date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 1:19:26 PM EDT Subject: RE: 6-2 Hi Kyle- it sounds like your team had a pretty good season even if you didn't win the final game. It's pretty tought to go against that much height. Congratulations on your season! Miss B

Author KW Thanks Miss B- it was a fun ride.

Author:AD (Student) Posted date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 12:59:42 PM EDT I tried going to the image J folder in course documents. but it said the folder is empty, does anyone else have this problem? Author: KC (Student) Posted date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 1:49:51 PM EDT I have the same problem. Maybe we should post this problem again to the "Questions on Assignments" discussion board? Author: AD Posted date: Wednesday, March 17, 2010 2:50:00 PM EDT yea, i asked miss b about it. she seems to have fixed it now. i guess it happened before too! Author: TH T's Initial Post (Student) Posted date: Thursday, March 18, 2010 10:08:01 AM EDT This lab is looking at different structures of blood and identifying their functions. It also looking at hematocritis. The most difficult part of this lab is going to be trying to identify the various structures. Once I get used to identifying them it will be easy.

Author: JM : RE: T's Initial Post (Student) Posted date: Thursday, March 18, 2010 2:02:35 PM EDT Yes I agree that trying to find, and identifying the structres is hard at first. But, once I see a couple pictures and get used to things it gets alot easier. Subject: RE: Taylor's Initial Post

Author: S D (Student) Posted date: Friday, March 26, 2010 8:34:19 AM EDT RE: T's Initial Post. I agree that identifying the structures and taking the measurements was difficult in this lab. However it is important to understand the structure and function of blood cells.
