The analysis was done in pairs, of healthy and preeclamptic placentas and by gestatational stage. In accordance with the standards set by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists the placentas were grouped as "normal," "mild preeclampsia" and "severe preeclampsia," on the basis of recorded blood pressure of their mothers. There were certain well defined controls and parameters also placed like making sure those patients with diabetic and other disease histories that might affect blood pressure were not included in the experiment, the purpose was to study the causative agent of preeclampsia alone. The records showed that the significant amount of HtrA1 is present in the placental tissues of women with severe preeclampsia.

It is expected that…...

Mayo Clinic's Marketing
Mayo Clinic is a health care provider that is renowned for its provision of health care services to a huge number of customers with different health issues. This health care provider has continued to experience tremendous growth and success at a time when the health industry, especially hospitals, is facing significant pressure to reduce costs and enhance the quality of services. Most hospitals have responded to this pressure through consolidating their operations in order to ensure they operate more efficiently and provide cheaper care. However, Mayo Clinic has not consolidated but developed plans to expand its reach throughout the world. One of the crucial measures that have contributed to its recent success and acts as the cornerstone of its radical plan is effective marketing.

Positioning and Differentiation eview: Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic
In an increasingly competitive business environment, organizations must carefully differentiate and position themselves to remain ahead of the competition. Differentiation basically entails incorporating unique features into a product with the aim of portraying it to the intended market as different from what competitors offer (Berkowitz, 2016). For consumers to perceive a product or brand as different from the competition, an organization must strategically position the product or brand addressing the consumer using a well-crafted positioning strategy (Berkowitz, 2016). Positioning and differentiation are particularly crucial in the healthcare industry. Even as healthcare consumers become ever more proactive, healthcare organizations must aggressively differentiate themselves with a robust and consistent brand position (Berkowitz, 2016). Two healthcare organizations whose success in the ever-changing marketplace can largely be attributed to effective differentiation and positioning are Mayo Clinic and Cleveland Clinic, two of the top hospitals in the…...

A major part and linchpin of any medical and/or research firm is the financial management aspects of the organization. Financial management of any major medical outfit would be overseen by the officers of the treasury and finance departments. They would, by extension, also direct the financial activities of the clinic. The activities completed would include bookkeeping, investing, and developing projects. The depth and breadth of these operations would touch upon a number of important things such as the methods of funding to be used, research issues, quality control, ethics, accreditation, awards, regulation, marketing, strategic management choices, branding and involvement with the employees and community.
