Atherosclerosis
I need for this to be in a word document with a seperate page for the 3 citations that are needed for the paper and these are the directions on what to do and how exactly to go about the paper.
Signs and Symptoms
Symptoms are what the patient describes to you. Among these will be a Chief Complaint. Usually, the one thing that causes them to seek help.
Signs are what a health care professional would observe when examining the patient.
Appropriate anatomical terminology should be used.
Differential diagnosis
Using the signs and symptoms described above list and briefly describe 5 other diseases the patient might have based on these findings. Ie. If a patient came in with a chief complaint of lower right quadrant abdominal pain you may develop a differential diagnosis of; appendicitis, bowel obstruction, gas, ovarian cyst, abdominal muscle injury.
Tests
Which tests are usually ordered for your disease?
How do these tests rule in or rule out your differential diagnosis list?
Treatments (and risk factors)
List common treatments. These could include medicines, surgery, or lifestyle changes.
Since treatments often correct underlying risk factors, describe the common risk factors for developing your disease.
Prognosis
How well do patients recover?
Porters Five Forces Model and the American Automotive Industry
In 2009 the American auto industry was in a dire economic state. Chrysler was in Chapter 11, GM was on the brink of bankruptcy, and Ford’s future was at best uncertain. The demise of the U.S. auto industry would have a devastating impact on our national economy and specifically the economies of Michigan and Ohio.
Economists occasionally use Porter’s five forces framework when making a qualitative evaluation of a firm’s strategic position. According to Porter, his model should be used at the industry level, defined as a marketplace in which similar or closely related products or services are marketed. This research paper requires the application of Porter’s Five Forces Model to the auto industry.
Porter’s analytical framework consists of those forces that affect a producer’s ability to serve its customers and make a profit. A change in any of these five forces requires a re-assessment of the marketplace. The five forces include:
1) The threat of substitute products: The existence of close substitute products (i.e., high elasticity of demand) increases the propensity of customers to switch to alternatives in response to price increases.
2) The threat of the entry of new competitors: Unless there are significant barriers to entry, profitable markets that yield high returns will attract firms (i.e., perfect competition), effectively decreasing profitability.
3) The intensity of competitive rivalry: As in the case of oligopoly markets, rivals may choose to compete aggressively, non-aggressively or in non-price dimensions.
4) The bargaining power of customers: The ability of customers to put the firm under pressure due to availability of existing substitute products, buyer price sensitivity, uniqueness of the products, etc.
5) The bargaining power of suppliers: The cost of factors of production (e.g. labor, raw materials, components, and services such as expertise) provided by suppliers can have a significant impact on a company’s profitability. As such suppliers may refuse to work with the firm or charge excessively high prices for unique resources.

Reflections on Sample SMP Reports
You have now read 3 well put together fashion-related marketing plans. These were completed by our own LIM MPS candidates over the last year. Here is your chance to reflect on them.
How do the full marketing plans compare to the proposals first submitted by the students? Which project do you believe turned out more intense in the long run the designers dilemma (either V. Camuto, or Elie Tahari), or Zaras CSR dilemma?
What were the strongest sections developed in each of the marketing plans? How do these compare? How are they different? Would you have done something differently?
Which is your favorite marketing plan? In what particular did you like about the students approaches?
Which, in your opinion, is the least feasible plan? Why?
