Using statistical analysis investigate whether the differences observed between the CAD group and the control group for each of the different patient groups, shown above, are statistically significant.
Q3. 2304 patients were recruited to a study to investigate whether the angiotensinogen M235T polymorphism is associated with the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in the Taiwanese population. 1448 patients were in the CAD group and 856 in the control group. For the patients recruited to the study, other factors, such as gender, presence of diabetes, hypertension, and hypercholesterolemia, and whether the participants were smokers or alcohol drinkers were also recorded. See Table below:

Questions to be answered using SPSS software
Q1. It is thought that a high protein diet slows tumour growth and prevents cancer Initiation. An experiment was conducted to test the effect of a high protein diet versus a low protein diet on tumour weight for 20 mice. Two groups of ten laboratory mice with cancer were selected for experimentation. One group was fed a low protein diet whist the other group were fed a high protein diet for the duration of the experiment. Dataset Q1_14_15.xlsx contains the data obtained for tumour weight (in grams) of the 20 mice at the end of the experiment.
What can de deduced by statistical analysis about the effect of high versus low protein diet upon the weight of tumours observed in this study?

Identify what is meant by the term ‘low vision’ or ‘visual impairment’ and discuss how these definitions or models apply to the patient
Description
Aims of the essay:
• Identify what is meant by the term ‘low vision’ or ‘visual impairment’ and
discuss how these definitions or models apply to the patient in the associated
case study. (PROVIDED IN ADDITIONAL MATERIALS UNDER CASE STUDY PATIENT HAS WET
MACULAR DEGENERATION)
• Critically reflect upon how these terms or models are underpinned by, or
contrast, psycho-social models and frameworks relating to impairment and the
lived experience of a person.
• Using an appropriate evidence base, discuss the pathophysiology presenting in
the associated patient, and evaluate its impact on the patient’s visual function.
• Evaluate what the evidence base suggests about the long-term prognosis for
the patient.
• Utilising the evidence identified, link the patient’s reported issues with their
daily lived experience, to the pathophysiology and its impact on visual function.
Introduction (Max 10% of wordcount). This should not be ‘descriptive’, and should be
used to orientate and grab the reader.
Main Body Discussion: This should address the aims listed above, and address the
learning outcomes stated.
Conclusion (Max 10% of wordcount). State the conclusions that have been drawn
from the evidence presented – do not make this just descriptive.
A Critical Reflection of your involvement in the management
of the patient, how this might be improved and what you
have learned from this assessment. It is often helpful for you
to use multiple reflective cycles but do not waste words

explaining the theory of the cycle you have used.
Include your strengths and weaknesses, and evaluate your
own practice and that of others, using multiple frames of
reference. Consider actions and alternative future actions
Appendices must include a copy of the associated case record, or the submission will
be marked as incomplete. Students may also include full details of their completed
reflective cycles, and /or a full action plan following their reflection. N.B., with the
exception of the case record, no marks are awarded to content within the appendices:
elements are included to support the main body of the piece.
References are required for all statements. Forming a true academic discussion, with
the most contemporary, reliable and credible, relevant sources, is the key to
achieving distinction grades. If a source discusses, let us says, an approach to patientcentred care, are there other
sources that support their thinking/research? Or, are
there other researchers that disagree? That is an academic discussion.

Analyse the impact of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (CMCH 2007) on the criminal law for corporate manslaughter.
Description
Question: Analyse the impact of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007 (CMCH 2007)
on the criminal law for corporate manslaughter. Evaluate whether the CMCH 2007 has been successful in
addressing the criticisms of the old, common law approach to corporate manslaughter.
This essay question requires you to:
- throughout the entire essay, develop a reasoned and evidence-based argument about whether you think the
CMCH 2007 has been successful in addressing the criticisms of the old law, - concisely explain the criminal offence of corporate manslaughter in the CMCH 2007,
- analyse the impact of the CMCH 2007 on the law, including with respect to the criticisms of the previous
common law offence, - evaluate the extent to which the CMCH 2007 has addressed the criticisms of the old law using evidence from
academic commentary and case law, found through your own research.
Essay guidance:
You should aim to define the key legal terms relevant to the question, explain the relevant law, analyse the legal
position and evaluate the merits of the law. From your introduction and throughout your essay, you should make
an argument that answers the question set. You should critically evaluate the extent to which the new corporate
manslaughter offence addresses the criticisms of the previous law. Your argument should focus on whether, in
light of your evaluation, the law is successful in terms of addressing the criticisms identified, drawing on
evidence to explain why.
