Mr. Curtis document
Your firm has a well-respected economic research staff. The staff members have been successful in developing econometric models that can predict macroeconomic variables with a surprisingly degree of accuracy. The economic research staff would like to know which variables to monitor if options are ultimately used by the firm. Write a 1-2 page document to Mr. Curtis explaining how the listed variables impact the prices of call options and what the associated theory is behind each relationship:
•. Stock price
•. Risk-free rate
•. Exercise price
•. Stock volatility
It is also important to recognize if put-call parity conditions are being met; if not, an arbitrage opportunity exists for the firm. In the following situation, identify whether or not an arbitrage opportunity exists if
• The call price = $1.15.
• Exercise price = $22.50.
• Time to expiration = 60 days.
• Put price = $0.55.
• Annual interest rate = 12%.
The stock pays 0 dividends.

Bioweapons And Epidemiology*****Already A++ Rated Tutorial*****Use As Guide Paper*****

/in /by

Assume the role of Dr. Hero, the Centers for Disease Control’s emerging pathogens program director. You have been contacted by the CDC director, the World Health Organization director, and the President of the United States to get a grasp on rapidly increasing cases of an unknown origin. You have just returned from vacation in the Canary Islands and have not yet been apprised of this dire situation. You must respond quickly and efficiently to avert a potential pandemic and subsequent apocalypse. From this point of view, write to discuss how and what you will do, epidemiologically, clinically, and in terms of public health to combat the superweapon.

Address the following items in your research plan that will be submitted to the CDC, World Health Organization, and the President of the United States that outlines the nation’s epidemiological response to Dr. Madness’ rogue superweapon:

· Agent Name: Briefly summarize the superweapon you selected and its epidemiology. The most significant component of this section will center around what makes this agent epidemiologically difficult to address from a public health perspective.

· Diagnostic Tests: How will diagnosis occur in sick patients, both clinically and in the laboratory? Also discuss how technology and research and development will allow for enhancements to minimize downtime on diagnoses.

· Treatment: What will the tertiary public health prevention (treatment) be for the agent? Discuss potential for resistance or agent adaptation and sensitivity to the treatment. Will the treatment work in all populations? What costs will be expected if it is a new treatment being developed (in addition to the time spent in the pandemic developing a new treatment).

· Clinical Treatment of Hospitalized Patients: What control measures and universal precautions will be utilized? Will isolation factor in your strategy?

· Epidemiological Control of Cases in Community: How will you control the cases, contacts, and immediate environment of those who are not hospitalized?

· Preventive Measures: Is there an expectation of a vaccine to be developed? Are there other control measures to consider?

· Epidemic Measures: How does the plan change once cases outnumber public health and clinical resources to manage?

· Disaster Implications: Discuss social, psychological, economic, labor, transportation, and other aspects relevant to your plan.

· International Measures: What is the level and function of World Health Organization involvement? Discuss participation and assistance from health agencies from around the world.

After creating a plan and quelling the super bioweapon, complete a summary report on your vision of the expected summary and convalescence of the agent release. How many people were sickened? How many countries were affected? On how many continents did the agent affect? How many deaths resulted? Was it eradicated? Assess the social, psychological, and economic impact of the pandemic. You will also want to dedicate part of your conclusion discussing the lessons learned from this event to prevent a future pandemic or intentional releases of another superweapon

Pathophysiology

/in /by

A 17-year-old African American female from the inner city complains of severe chest and abdominal pain. Upon examination, the attending physician performs an EKG, chest x-ray, and an abdominal and chest clinical examination and finds nothing. Assuming she is drug seeking, he sends her home. She comes back to the ER 4 hours later and now you see the patient. She explains that she was running track this past afternoon at school and that despite being very hot (100 F) she pushed on. Afterwards, she starts feeling extensive pain in her chest and abdomen. She has jaundiced eyes, her blood pressure is 98/50, pulse is 112, T = 99.9 F, R = 28. The pain seems out of proportion to the physical findings. During a review of her medical history, she tells the provider that she has history of sickle cell anemia. At this time, it is determined that she is in a sickle cell crisis.

What is the etiology of sickle cell anemia?
Describe in detail the pathophysiological process of sickle cell anemia.
Identify hallmark signs identified from the physical exam and symptoms.
Describe the pathophysiology of complications of sickle cell anemia.
What teaching related to her diagnosis would you provide?
