Case Study Analysis of Dyspnea and Leg Pain in a Patient with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
A 38-year-old female presents to the emergency room with complaints of dyspnea and left leg pain. Patient reports that her left leg started feeling heavy a few days ago and has also been red since she returned from a recent trip. She denies any injury to her leg. She reports that she started having some dyspnea in the last 24 hours. Patient history is remarkable for systemic lupus erythematosus and a history of recent airplane travel. She is also taking oral birth control. Her bp is 130/84, heart rate 100, R 24, and temp is 100.4F. Physical exam reveals unilateral +2 pitting leg edema to left leg with erythema.
Develop 2 page Case Study Analysis related to the scenario provided, explain the following
• The pulmonary pathophysiologic processes that result in the patient presenting these symptoms.
• Any racial/ethnic variables that may impact physiological functioning.
• How these processes interact to affect the patient.

• Reflect on the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and drugs currently prescribed.
• Explain your diagnosis for the patient, including your rationale for the diagnosis Think about a possible diagnosis for the patient. Consider whether the patient has a disorder related to the gastrointestinal and hepatobiliary system or whether the symptoms are the result of a disorder from another system or other factors, such as pregnancy, drugs, or a psychological disorder.
• Describe an appropriate drug therapy plan based on the patient’s history, diagnosis, and drugs currently prescribed.

Differential Diagnosis in Identifying Skin Conditions
Properly identifying the cause and type of a patient’s skin condition involves a process of elimination known as differential diagnosis. Using this process, a health professional can take a given set of physical abnormalities, vital signs, health assessment findings, and patient descriptions of symptoms, and incrementally narrow them down until one diagnosis is determined as the most likely cause.
In this Lab Assignment, you will examine several visual representations of various skin conditions, describe your observations, and use the techniques of differential diagnosis to determine the most likely condition.

The Use of Linear Mixed Models in Statistics
Write a report (three pages minimum, single space) about the use of linear mixed models in statistics. Try to discuss the advantages, limitations, and challenges of using them. Make sure you explain fixed vs random factors properly. Explain when to include a factor as random and when to not do so. Finally, briefly explain how to run a linear mixed model in R providing an example of code with proper syntax (you don’t have to run an analysis though).
