Please use the Tyrone Hayes case study, the Andrew Wakefield case .What do race and racism mean

study, or another example. Please be sure to include an appropriate citation to any resources that help you develop your response.

How would you describe the difference between a “scientific controversy” and “controversial science”?  Choose an example of a scientific controversy or a piece of controversial science and describe where the controversy comes in and where the science comes in.  For example, does most of the uproar come from inside or outside the scientific community?  Are scientists generally in agreement about the general underlying knowledge or behavior of the people involved in generating that knowledge?  How does all of this relate to the social side of science, or to the relationship between science and society?

What do race and racism mean to you?  What relevant ideas have you encountered in your readings and in the videos so far in our explorations?
Do ‘race’ and ‘ethnicity’ mean different things?
Consider the videos the class summarized about concepts of race and the materials about the mixed marrow donor registry.  Think about your experiences before this class, too.

Breeding test cross. Drosophila that is true-breeding for the traits straight wings (S) and red eyes (R) are crossed with flies that are true-breeding for curved wings (s) and brown eyes (r). A test cross then is made between the offspring and the true-breeding ss rr flies.

Upper GI Disorders: GERD and Peptic Ulcers

/0 Comments/in /by

 Summarize the Upper GI Disorders: GERD and Peptic ulcers in terms of etiology, pathogenesis, clinical picture, diagnosis, and treatment rationale.

The 5 General Topics of Disease Summary
1. Etiology & risk factors
2. Pathogenesis: The molecular mechanism of the disease process (How the disease process evolves)
3. Clinical Picture: Signs& Symptoms, Sequelae, and Complications
4. Diagnosis: Labs & tests (as well as screening tests and follow-up tests whenever applicable)
5. Pathophysiologic rationale of treatment

 

This summary should cover two topics: 1- GERD.            2- Peptic Ulcer

 

GERD

Etiology: Weak lower esophageal sphincter. Discuss the factors that further weaken the sphincter and increase the possibility of acid regurgitation

Clinical picture: Symptoms and their rationale (wherever the acid goes certain symptoms happen: acid in the esophagus causes heartburn, at the back of the tongue, causes metallic bitter taste, pharynx, causes sore throat, larynx, causes hoarseness, carina, causes irritating cough, bronchi, causes bronchospasm)

Diagnosis: Characteristic clinical picture and 24-hour esophageal pH monitoring

The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: PPI: Agents to reduce gastric acidity to minimize symptoms

 

Peptic Ulcer Disease

Etiology: H.pylori and NSAIDs are the two main causes, and also talk about ZE syndrome

Clinical picture: Symptoms of the two types of PUD (duodenal and gastric ulcers) are very similar

Diagnosis: Upper endoscopy confirms the diagnosis and tells apart the type

The pathophysiologic rationale of treatment: Deal with the cause (Avoid NSAIDs, antibiotics for H.Pylori), and reduce gastric acidity to ensure a suitable environment for the ulcer to heal
