Patient Scenario

Addresses Learning Outcomes:

  • Use knowledge of biological principles and the Scientific Method to ask and answer relevant questions about human health and disease
  • Analyze information to distinguish between diseased and healthy structure and functioning.
  • Analyze how internal and external factors cause disruption of healthy body function, leading to disease and disorders.

Mr. Smith is 60 years old. He was diagnosed with a prostate cancer five years ago. Over the past few days, Mr. Smith has been feeling weak and increasingly tired and has also been suffering from a headache that did not respond to over-the-counter medications. He scheduled an appointment with his physician.

His physician performed a physical examination and recommended a battery of laboratory tests and imaging procedures.

The table below shows Reference values in the right-hand column. These values reflect the normal range of values for patients without disease or illness. The center column reflects the resulting values for medical test results obtained for Mr. Smith.

Ansewer some questions

example questions:

1. Facilitated diffusion across a biological membrane requires and moves a substance

its concentration gradient.

a. energy and transport proteins … down; b. energy … down; c. transport proteins … down; d. energy and transport proteins … against; e. transport proteins … against

2. In lab, you use a special balloon that is permeable to water but not sucrose to make an “artificial cell.” The balloon is filled with a solution of 20% sucrose and 80% water and is immersed in a beaker containing a solution of 40% sucrose and 60% water. Which of the following will occur?

a. Water will leave the balloon; b. Water will enter the balloon; c. Sucrose will leave the balloon; d. Sucrose will enter the balloon; e. none of the choices will occur.

angiosperms Survival Mechanisms

How did the “game changing” adaptations of the flower, and the fruit in angiosperm plants allow them to out compete every other group of plants in the plant kingdom? Be specific and discuss how each created not only an advantage, but also the requirement for particular animals to coexist with them.

Hint: pollination is important, as well as the dispersal of seeds

Question Description

 

Please read the following case:

https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/8/8/02-0012_article

After that write a short analysis of two pages answering the following questions:

  • What is the source of the infection?
  • How did the biological characteristics of the pathogen influence your conclusion?
  • What biological characteristics contribute to its threat to the food supply?
  • How can you use the knowledge of its biological characteristics to prevent or control the disease?
  • Propose a strategy to mitigate the disease risk and demonstrate how the strategy addresses the biologic principles of the disease.

Unknown disease Scenario: A 35 year old man comes to the free clinic where you are working with a red rash on the palms of his hands and the bottoms of his feet. He says that he has had a fever for a couple of days, and is exhibiting swollen lymph glands, aching muscles and fatigue. When asked about his medical history, he indicated that he had not had any recent illnesses. What is the disease? (I think its scarlet fever) you can double make sure for me.

The DOD analysis (what you think the disease is and why- 1 pg double-spaced

a. is isotonic to the protozoan; b. is hypotonic to the protozoan; c. is hypertonic to the protozoan; d. contains a higher concentration of solutes than the protozoan; e. none of the choices are correct.
