Addresses Course Outcomes #1, #2, #3
Recognize the use of the scientific method to weigh evidence, make decisions, and solve problems.
Apply knowledge of cellular and molecular processes to understand infectious disease mechanisms.
Synthesize knowledge of microbial pathogenesis and disease prevention methods and communicate this knowledge to the community.
A scientific case study is a short summary of an event or personal experience that ends in a “mystery”—in this case, one that you will solve using your own research and the clues provided within the case study. For this project, you will evaluate a patient-centered case study that explores a mysterious bacterial or viral illness. The case study will include a set of questions to guide your analysis.

What do you their responses say about their health? Their body and brain development? What do their responses say about their memory?

Directions for the paper:

Obtain consent from a family member or friend that fits within the age range specified the above questions.
Refer to the adolescent as ‘participant 3’ or utilize a different name.  do not utilize the senior’s actual name.
Record the answers the senior provides.
You will turn in the answers to the questions along with your paper.
Discuss the responses the senior provided in terms of development. You can utilize the different chapters in the book as support.
What do you their responses say about their health? Their body and brain development?
What do their responses say about their memory?
What do their response say about their cognition and growth?
Utilize support from the book for your answers.
You are welcome to utilize outside sources for support.
You will combine this part with the other two that you have updated from previous feedback.
This will become your final, large assignment.
Length: -3-6 page maximum.

MATERIALS NEEDED
Notepad
Experiment Tracking Sheet: Earlobe Experiment Tracking Sheet.docx Calculator .

Determine Baseline p and q
⦁ Choose a source that contains lots of images or photos of DIFFERENT people such as Facebook, a televised concert or video recorded sporting event.
⦁ Identify the earlobe trait on at least 50 different people.  Record how many had detached trait and how many had attached trait.
⦁ Determine the frequency of the recessive trait (q2).  To do this, divide the number of
people with attached earlobe by the total number of people you counted.
⦁ Determine the frequency of the recessive allele (q).  To do this, take the square root of the frequency you calculated in #3.
⦁ Determine the frequency of the dominant allele (p).  This is equal to 1 – q.

How did this patient become infected with this organism?  What was the role of his gangrenous feet in the development of this infection?

Case studies

This 63-year old alcoholic was taken to the emergency room of a local hospital with obvious gangrene on both feet.  He was stuporous.  During that evening, he had a seizure and was treated with phenytoin and barbiturates.  That night he was transferred to a university hospital.  At that time,  he was noted to have opisthotonic posturing and to have developed increasing rigor, respiratory distress, and unresponsiveness.  On examination, he had a temperature of 41.7C rectally, a blood pressure of 70/30 mm Hg, a heart rate of 110- beats per minute, and a respiratory rate of 40/min.  Examination was notable for marked trismus.  The neck was stiff and hyperextended.  Necrotic, blackened areas were present over both feet, and several draining ulcers were noted on the heels and toes. Neurologically the patient responded to deep pain with a grimace.  On the basis of these findings, specific therapy, in addition to supportive care, was initiated, and the patient ultimately recovered.

In Addition to identifying this infectious disease and the infectious agent, ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:

What virulence factor produced by the infectious agent was responsible for his trismus?

How did this patient become infected with this organism?  What was the role of his gangrenous feet in the development of this infection?

What is the therapy used to treat this infection?

How might this infection have been prevented?
