  1. Etiology: Type of the causative virus and its characteristics. Mode of transmission.

 

  1. Pathogenesis: Which cell is infected by the virus (The CD-4 cell), and what are the steps the virus takes to infect this cell and reproduce inside (1. entry, 2. reverse-transcription, 3. Integration, 4. Assembly and release). The sequelae of infecting the CD-4 cells and how this affects the immune system.

 

  1. Clinical Picture: of HIV infection and the clinical picture of AIDS

 

  1. Diagnosis: Diagnostics to diagnose HIV, diagnose AIDS, and follow up the condition and prognosis.

 

  1. The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: examples of drugs working at each of the 4 steps the virus takes to infect the CD-4 cell.

This summary should cover the following two topics:

  1. Infections: General introduction to infections
  2. Immunization & Vaccination.

 

Infections: Talk about the following IN GENERAL:

  • Etiology: different causes of infections (Bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic) giving examples of each
  • Pathogenesis: The steps of any infection (Colonization, invasion…..etc. Please check your Textbook)
  • Clinical Picture: Incubation, prodrome, actual signs and symptoms, recovery.
  • Diagnosis: CBC & Differential (How this can help differentiate bacterial, from viral, fungal or parasitic infections).
  • The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: Antimicrobials (Antibiotics for bacterial infections, an antiviral for viral infections, ……etc)

 

Immunization & Vaccination:

  • The 4 types of immunity: 1. Natural Passive Immunity. Natural Active Immunity.

3. Artificial Passive Immunity.            4. Artificial Active Immunity

– Differences between immunization & vaccination. Indications (prophylaxis and post-exposure

prophylaxis)

Chapter 2: INTRODUCTION TO THE CHAPTER AND BACKGROUND TO THE PROBLEM
12 points
Criteria Description
This section describes the overall topic to be investigated, outlines the approach taken for the literature review, and argues the evolution of the problem based on the Practice Setting Need supported in the literature from its origination to its current form. (2-3 pages)

Criteria Description
The background section provides the historical overview of the problem based on the Practice Setting Need supported in the literature and how it originated. It further discusses how the problem has evolved historically into its current form. This section summarizes the Background section from Chapter 2. (2-3 paragraphs)

Chapter 2: THEORETICAL FOUNDATIONS/CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
24 points
Criteria Description
This section identifies the theory(s) or model(s) that provide the foundation for the practice project. It also contains an explanation of how the problem under investigation relates to the theory or model. The seminal source for each theory or model should be identified and described. (2-3 pages)

Chapter 2: REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
24 points
Criteria Description
This section provides a broad, balanced overview of the existing literature related to the proposed project topic. It identifies themes, trends, research methodology, design, and findings. It provides a synthesis of the existing literature, examines the contributions of the literature related to the topic, and presents an evaluation of the overall methodological strengths and weaknesses of the research. Citations are provided for all ideas, concepts, and perspectives. The researcher’s personal opinions or perspectives are not included.

Criteria Description
This section restates what was written in Chapter 2 and provides supporting citations for key points. It synthesizes the information from the chapter using it to define the Practice Setting needs supported by the literature, the theory(s) or model(s) to provide the foundation for the project, the problem statement, the primary clinical question, the methodology, the design, the variables or phenomena, the data collection instruments or sources, and the population to be studied. It then provides a transition discussion to Chapter 3. (1-2 pages)
