1. Kate is born with features that do not look quite normal. Her eyes are wide-set and slightly slanted. Her nose is short and flat, and she keeps her mouth slightly open. There is a straight crease across her palm, and her fifth digit is unusually short. The doctor tells her parents she has an inherited disorder. If you were the doctor what would you diagnosis Kate with? Discuss the etiology of Kate’s disorder? What is the biggest risk factor for this disorder? How can or will this disorder affect Kate? What test could have been completed to diagnosis this disorder before Kate’s birth? 2. Research one autosomal dominant disease, one autosomal recessive disease, and a sex-linked disease. For each disease discuss 1. Etiology, 2. Signs and Symptoms, 3. Diagnosis, 4. Treatment and Prevention. Provide additional information from an outside source.3. A 12-year-old child experiences high fever and chills. He also says that his heart feels like it’s pounding. Two weeks before these symptoms, the child fell off his bike and skinned his knee.

1. Be sure that your paper has an appropriate introduction and conclusion. 2. Describe cancer and how it develops:  What is cancer? What is a tumor? What roles do genes and mutations play in cancer developing? What are proto-oncogenes and tumor-suppressor genes? What are the general risk factors which contribute to the risk of developing cancer? 3. Describe the biology of your specific topic…be specific about sources of this dietary substance, which types of cancer are affected by this factor, and the mechanism (ideally, at the cellular level) for how this substance reduces or promotes the development of cancer. 4. Provide experimental evidence or studies which support what the effects (positive and/or negative) of this specific factor are on developing cancer. Describe at least two studies. What are the results? If study results are mixed, which ones are more credible, and why would the results differ from one study to the next? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_and_cancer#:~:text=A%20woman%20drinking%20an%20average,increases%20by%2011%20per%201000.

How would you explain to Jan what S. aureus is and how it can cause diseases? 2. Lou had abdominal surgery. During his stay at the hospital, a catheter was inserted into his bladder. After returning home Lou was diagnosed with a nosocomial infection. What are the principal routes of transmission of nosocomial infections? What can be done to prevent nosocomial infections? What are the three reasons why rates of nosocomial infections are markedly higher in developing countries? What are the five things that increase the risk of nosocomial infection? 3. What is the difference between a neoplasm, benign tumor, and malignant tumor? Identify four chronic infections that may cause cancer, and what cancer the infection might cause. Mr. Brown age 63 and Mrs. Brown age 61, are being seen for a routine check-up. What cancer screenings should Mr. and Mrs. Brown receive (name at least 3 and why)? 4. In Western societies, why is colorectal cancer the most common cancer, but yet there has been a decline in the incidence and mortality of cervical cancer over the last 40 years? Identify and discuss four nonspecific warning signs of cancer and which cancer the warning sign is linked to. Aaron is a 28-year-old who had an EBV infection during high school.

Imagine that you are a working public health professional within a state health department. Your supervisor wants you to research the pathophysiology of diseases caused by food or water. In this work Assignment, you may choose a topic dealing with either food or waterborne disease. Your supervisor requires that your report must focus on the pathophysiological, biological nature of the disease. Furthermore, your supervisor asks that you discuss and evaluate the basis of public health laws, policies, or regulations related to this disease. You must assess how our current understanding of the disease serves as a basis for public health laws, policies, or regulations related to this disease. Your supervisor asks that you present your findings in a professional report, with the following sections: abstract, introduction, literature review, conclusions, and recommendations. A superior report contains scholarly depth, current APA format, proofreading for spelling and grammatical errors, logical flow of ideas and a logical conclusion, overall scholarly style and tone, and academic references throughout.  Your report should include at least two (2) primary sources (current, peer-reviewed journal articles found through the Library) and at least six (6) total scholarly sources. The body of the paper should be 4–5 pages, double spaced, not counting the title page, table of contents, abstract, and reference list. Papers must be posted to the Dropbox by the end of Unit 9.

Perhaps you’ll only become aware of it by looking deeply. It could be an activity or series of gestures that you’ve inherited, it could be something that you’ve seen or heard that has inspired you, or it can be a ritual that you yourself have created for yourself and the circumstances of your life. Please write with as much insight and detail as you can. Perhaps there is a ritual you’ve created in response to stress, panic, or a moment in your life where you needed to break through to deeper meaning, to a different kind of fulfillment, in the face of failure, or abandonment, or despair. Perhaps this ritual is crucial to your survival, your well-being, your self-confidence, and your sense of direction. Perhaps it is a shared ritual that joins you to family or friends or to a supportive community. Perhaps this ritual is organized, regular, repetitive, cumulative, and consistent, or perhaps it is random or something that you’ve only done once in your life. Please write with as much insight and detail as you can. On page two of the 2-page assignment, please describe how you will transform, adapt, or repurpose your existing ritual to address one of the topics on your private list.
