Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found.

Bone Remodeling
Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research about bone remodeling. Based on your research and understanding, respond to the following:
• Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process.
• Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found.
• Evaluate the similarities and differences between cartilage and bone; include the organic and inorganic compounds found in each.
• Analyze the role the endocrine system plays in the growth and remodeling of bone, including all the hormones and sites of action.

The Great Sperm Race

“As you watch this documentary, want you to take notes about the film as well as write a half page, single-spaced reflection/what you found learned and found interesting about the film. This reflection should not be a summary of the film, but more what you learned, or found interesting.

Was there something that you already knew, or thought you knew, but this video made it more clear? Was there something with this video that made your knowledge of reproduction more confusing? ”

Also, include a citation page/bibliography referencing the movie. The movie is in the instructions.

What types of samples might be collected from patients to use for laboratory testing?

Lab Extra Credit Case Study

Part I –The Clinical Laboratory
Marcus stepped out of his car and into the sunshine, ready to head into the hospital for another day of work in the molecular diagnostics laboratory. Having graduated six months ago from college, he felt very fortunate to have found a great job that would give him valuable experience until he was ready to apply to medical school. Marcus had majored in biology and spent his senior year working in a research lab studying the genes that control early embryonic development in zebrafish.
What made Marcus think that? What exactly is a molecular diagnostics lab, and how does it differ from a research lab?
A molecular diagnostics laboratory is just one of several types of laboratories that exist in hospitals. These laboratories are also referred to as medical laboratories, or clinical laboratories. The term “clinical” refers to the actual diagnosis and treatment of patients.
The following resources may help you to answer the questions below.
Questions
1. What types of samples might be collected from patients to use for laboratory testing?
2. What are some examples of situations where a doctor might order a lab test to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of a patient?

Identify and describe the major pathological changes that occur in the brain of a person with Vascular Dementia.

Board
In CAD101 this semester, for your final Assessment Task we are asking you describe the dysfunction occurring in the brain of a person living with Vascular dementia  and how this dysfunction causes the clinical symptoms.

This task is broken down into two components; Part A and Part B, where each part has a separate due date.

Task description:
Part A
Choose one of the following Discussion Board Topics for Part A:

• Identify and describe the major pathological changes that occur in the brain of a person with Vascular Dementia.

You are required to make a post to the Discussion Board on your chosen topic and include at least five (5) current academic resources to support your writing. You need to include in-text citations to demonstrate where information comes from and a reference list in Simplified Author-Date or American Psychological Association  style, version 6 style.

Simplified Author-Date or American Psychological Association style, version 6 style.
Task length:
Assessment criteria:
Part A
Identify and describe the major pathological or clinical features of the chosen disease
Adherence to academic writing conventions – quality of academic writing
Adherence to academic convention – citations and reference list in an appropriate style

What are possible causes for these differences? What might account for the decrease in incidence overall?

Human Papillomavirus (HPV)
No unread replies.No replies.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, about 12,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with cervical cancer, and about 4,000 women die from it, each year. Human papillomavirus , a sexually transmitted disease, is the main cause of this cancer. The incidence of cervical cancer is decreasing because of regular screenings with the Pap smear test for women beginning at the age of 21. Gardasil is a vaccine, approved by the FDA in June 2006, that helps prevents HPV infection and subsequent cancers of the cervix, anus, vulva, vagina, or penis. It is administered to males and females between the ages of 9 and 26.

With this background in mind, review the statistics found on the CDC website, and discuss the differences in incidence rates across racial and ethnic groups and across states. In your post, include your answers to the following questions:

What are possible causes for these differences?
What might account for the decrease in incidence overall?
Should Gardasil vaccinations be mandatory for adolescents before entering middle school or junior high school? Why or why not?
Should students be tested for existing HPV infections during school or sports physicals? Why or why not?
Should physicians disclose results/findings of HPV infection to parents of adolescents under the age of 18? Why or why not?

How do current therapies address these failures to maintain homeostasis and ameliorate the effects of osteoporosis?

Functional relationship between the integumentary and skeletal systems

1.What is the functional relationship between the integumentary and skeletal systems?

2.How does failure to maintain homeostasis in the integumentary system affect bone formation and remodeling processes? Be sure to discuss how the different types of bone cells respond to different factors and what the driving force behind maintaining homeostasis in the bone remodeling process.

3.Describe the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and explain why it is considered a multifactorial disease.

4. How do current therapies address these failures to maintain homeostasis and ameliorate the effects of osteoporosis?

Discuss which clotting factors the PT and PTT test evaluate and whether each test measures the intrinsic or the extrinsic pathways.

Jessie was a typical 2-year-old who liked to try and spread his wings. He would run and fall throughout the house. On several occasions, with minor falls, a bruise would develop on his legs or arms. Jessie’s parent would often worry about being reported for child abuse because of the easy bruising that Jessie experienced.

At three, Jessie would complain that his ankles hurt. This was especially true after a hectic day of running and playing with other kids at the playground. Jessie’s parents wondered if he was simply trying to get attention. Which he usually did being an only child.

When Jessie was four, he accidentally ran into a small tree, hitting his nose. The nose bled excessively. Jessie’s mother tried to stop the bleeding, first with paper towels, which Jessie soaked through quickly, and then with a cold washcloth. Nothing seemed to help. Nervous about the amount of blood that Jessie was losing, his parents rushed him to the emergency room.

The emergency doctor ordered some blood work that included a Prothrombin Time (PT)and a Thromboplastin Time (PTT) test for clotting deficiencies. The site of the venipuncture for the blood draw, also took some time to stop bleeding.

An hour after the blood draw, the physician returned to the ER room to discuss the test results. Jessie’s PT results were normal but his PTT results were abnormal with an extended clotting time. The PTT clotting time was much longer than normal indicating the Jessie may lack of or decreased levels of a clotting factor.

Provide a scholarly resource in APA format to support your answers.

Discuss which clotting factors the PT and PTT test evaluate and whether each test measures the intrinsic or the extrinsic pathways.
Describe the common coagulation pathway.
Based on Jessie’s test, which factor deficiency do you believe he has and why?
Jessie’s clotting factor disease is seen more often in males. Please explain why.
If both the PT and the PTT tests were abnormally long, which part of the coagulation pathway would be affected?
