    Mr. Barua is a 42-year-old gentleman from Bangladesh who presents with chest tightness, shortness of breath, and tachycardia. Dr. J.K. McClean of cardiology is evaluating his heart condition. The patient has had the recent onset of hemoptysis. He was treated for tuberculosis in Bangladesh 15 years ago. This has prompted the concern of whether his treatment for tuberculosis was adequate or whether there is another cause for his hemoptysis. The duration of his tuberculosis treatment was apparently adequate, according to his wife, but no records are available. In addition, the patient had thrombosis of the axillary artery treated last year at Hillcrest. He had an embolectomy and has been on Coumadin since. INR is significantly elevated at 16. Nonetheless, because of the cavitary lesions that are seen in the right and left upper lobes, the possibility of tuberculosis has been raised. Ancillary history was given by the patient’s wife, Nupur, with the patient translating for her from the Hindi language.…

    I bet you are thinking what is an ectopic pregnancy. It’s a pregnancy thats abnormal it occurs outside the mother’s womb (uterus). This could be caused by many things like: Previous ectopic pregnancy, smoking, Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), Fallopian tube surgery and so on. Early sign of ectopic pregnancy may feel like a normal pregnancy may have symptom like: missed menstrual period, tender breasts, fatigue, nausea, increased urination. First stage may include vaginal bleeding, abdominal/pelvic pain. As the stages progresses other symptoms may develop such as: heavy bleeding, dizziness, syncope, signs of shock, and shoulder pain. Once you arrive at the hospital, a pregnancy test, a pelvic exam, and an ultrasound test may be performed to view the uterus’ condition and fallopian tubes.If an ectopic pregnancy has been confirmed, the health care provider will decide on the best treatment based on your medical condition and your future plans for pregnancy. If the doctor suspects that the fallopian tube has ruptured, emergency surgery is necessary to stop the bleeding. In some cases, the fallopian tube and ovary may be damaged and will have to be removed.If the fallopian tube has not ruptured and the pregnancy has not progressed very far, laparoscopic surgery may be all that is needed to remove the embryo and repair the damage. A laparoscope is a thin, flexible instrument inserted through small incisions in the abdomen. During this surgery, a tiny incision is made in the fallopian tube and the embryo is removed, preserving the fallopian tube’s integrity.In some cases, medication may be used to stop the growth of pregnancy tissue. This treatment option may be appropriate if the tube is not ruptured and the pregnancy has not progressed very far.After treatment for an ectopic pregnancy, you will usually have to have additional blood tests to make sure that the entire tubal pregnancy was removed. The blood tests detect the hCG level, the hormone…

    Given the solution3R’s (Reprice, Reposition, Redesign), the company can now make recommendations as to what Enchanted Kingdom must do and implement. After the general problem which is how to even out demand throughout the year has been solved, then other sub-problems like people spending too much time waiting for the rides during peak season and boosting the park attendance during lean months would also be answered. Given this, the first recommendation of the group is that for Enchanted Kingdom to pursue their expansion plans. But what the group would recommend is that they expand in other places outside Manila like Cebu and Davao. If this would be the case, then Enchanted Kingdom would have an advantage to major competitors like Splash Island and Star City because again, they would be the pioneer theme park in Cebu especially that extreme rides like those found in Enchanted Kingdom are still not offered here in Cebu. The problem of recession would not be an issue because it is visible that the economy of Cebu is boosting. According to Eric Ng Mendoza, president of the Mandaue Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI), Cebu will continue to have a robust economy and a better business climate in the next years. Expansion here in Cebu would help Enchanted Kingdom gain more profit and at the same time, they would be able to pursue this long-time plan without worrying much whether people can afford leisure spending or not. Another recommendation would be that the company should spend a day wherein the members (membership cards) would celebrate together with the crew and staff of Enchanted Kingdom. This would be like a “Fun Day in EK” wherein all the regular customers who hold membership cards can have unlimited access to the rides and attractions offered. In this way, the company is building personal relationship to the customers and is aligning with its mission that is providing guests and crew unique experience of fun and enjoyment. They could…
