Association of a large vulvar tumor in a young premenopausal woman with recurrent pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breasts
No full textPseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia is a benign proliferative lesion of the breast tissue that typically affects women in the reproductive age. Pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia usually presents as a localized, painless, firm mass or as a diffuse thickened area of the breast. Rarely, it can arise along the embryonic milk line, up to the anogenital region, where it simulates angiosarcomas. Awareness of this uncommon condition is important in order to avoid unnecessary aggressive excisional surgical procedures. For this purpose, we present a case of nodular pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia arising in the vulva in a patient with recurrent pseudoangiomatous stromal hyperplasia of the breast
The impact of oral health and the implications on quality of life for seniors: A Prince Edward Island Study
No full textThis thesis examines the literature pertaining to the relationship of oral health and quality of life for seniors, and describes the self-reported oral problems of a sample of seniors on Prince Edward Island (P.E.I)]. The instrument used for this study was the Subjective Oral Health Indicators, a validated tool in use for similar research on independent living seniors in other geographic regions of Canada. A cluster sampling design was used to randomly select senior housing units across the five geographic counties of P.E.I. Surveys were mailed to seniors through the Regional Housing Authorities for the five regions. The quantitative analysis included frequencies of problems identified related to oral health and worry/concern associated with those problems.Results of this research identified a number of self-reported oral health issues by seniors, that indicated a number of issues around speaking, oral pain and discomfort as problems. There was a significant difference in responses between male and female on various aspects of the study, something not addressed in other research of this nature. The Centre for Health Promotion [CHP], University of Toronto, quality of life conceptual framework (Renwick, Brown & Nagler, 1996), and the Precede-Proceed model of health promotion implementation was used to determine quality of life needs as outcomes for health promotion strategies.Results of this study were compared to similar studies in Ontario and the United States. Levels of awareness by seniors on issues of oral health were inconclusive in this study. Further research regarding the issue of oral health and quality of life for seniors on P.E.I., both qualitative and epidemiological, is recommended.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 41-02, page: 0362.Adviser: Vianne Timmons
Traumatic brain injury: Challenges and considerations for the school
No full textThis qualitative study profiles two families on Prince Edward Island who have a child with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) currently in the school system. It explores the changes that the students, their families and their school communities experienced during their recovery and reintegration to school. The purpose of this research was to determine the challenges for a school when a child who has incurred a TBI returns to the classroom, and to provide school personnel with considerations to maximize a successful transition from home to school.The research is based on a number of in-depth interviews with parents, medical professionals and school personnel. During the course of the interviews, a number of issues evolved which are consistent with findings from a review of the literature. The results of acquiring a TBI affects all aspects of the individual's life—cognitively, physically, behaviorally, and socially. These changes have a significant impact on the home, the school and the social environment of the child and need to be considered by school personnel during the reentry process. Key elements to consider for successful reentry planning include: educating school personnel on the extent of the injury and how it has impacted the child; collaborating with medical professionals, parents and the student to share information and provide a support team; planning for realistic and flexible goals and appropriate interventions; preparing students for the child's return in order to establish a peer support system; and seeking additional support both within and outside the school system to address the individual needs of the child. If schools use the guidelines outlined above to prepare for a child's return to school, they can become well equipped to provide effective services to students with a traumatic brain injury.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 43-02, page: 0391.Adviser: Vianne Timmons
Transformative learning through professional development in conflict resolution training
No full textThis qualitative study explored the experiences of 7 individuals who participated in conflict resolution training at the Centre for Conflict Resolution Studies at the University of Prince Edward Island. An open-ended interview approach was employed to gather the data. During the in-depth interviews, each participant reported that they perceived a significant change in their perspectives towards conflict and conflict resolution after participating in various courses. Three participants also reported changes in their perspectives towards themselves as individuals. Each of the participants described how their participation in the conflict resolution training impacted both their personal and professional lives. The participants reported that as they applied their strengthened conflict resolution skills, they were able to make positive changes in their lives, such as improving their performance at work and building stronger personal relationships. In addition, 4 of the participants believe that they have expanded their career opportunities as a result of what they learned. Recommendations are made for future research in the area of conflict resolution training for adults. Personal reflections of the researcher conclude the study.Source: Masters Abstracts International, Volume: 43-02, page: 0365.Adviser: Vianne Timmons
