Describe the short-term outcomes, those anticipated to occur within the scope of effort and time span of the proposed project (e.g. completion of a workshop report, one or more peer- reviewed journal articles, an equipment prototype and report).

Marine mammal biology project

Introduction, Background, or Problem Statement: Provide a brief review of prior related efforts by the research team or others. Indicate knowledge gaps, shortfalls of previous efforts, or challenges to further progress and describe how the proposed effort will address these issues. If applicable, please include information about the species or population(s) of conservation concern or how the proposed work will increase the inclusion or representation of people from underrepresented groups in marine mammal research, management, or conservation.
Goals and Objectives: Provide statements of both the general or broad goal of the proposed project and the specific objectives that will be addressed within the scope of this proposal to make progress toward that goal. Provide your view of the importance or significance of the project, and how it relates to the Commission’s mission and goals.
Methods/Approach: Provide a detailed description of the methods so that the reviewer can understand how you will address the specific objectives of the project. If you are not conducting original research but are developing a workshop, review panel, or other activity; describe the nature of the activity, the planned agenda or working format, likely attendees/participants, and tentative dates and location of the planned activity.
Anticipated Outcomes: Describe the short-term outcomes, those anticipated to occur within the scope of effort and time span of the proposed project (e.g. completion of a workshop report, one or more peer- reviewed journal articles, an equipment prototype and report).
Research and Management Utility: Describe the anticipated long-term utility of the project, its implications for future research, management, or conservation activities, and how the results or other outcomes will better inform such activities.

Describe the digestive function of each of the areas of the upper GI tract that are mentioned in Q1.

Scenario/Summary

History:

Mrs T is a 45 yr old female who reports frequent heartburn and regurgitation of acid into her mouth for the past 3 months. There is no change in her usual eating habits, or in her weight. She has no problem with swallowing, food getting stuck, or respiratory issues. There is no abdominal pain. She has tried taking over the counter antacids, such as calcium carbonate (Tums), with only a little relief.

Physical:

Body Mass index (BMI) is 28. She is alert and well-nourished. Exam including oropharynx, neck, chest and abdomen are normal.

Assessment:

Gastroesophageal reflux

Deliverables

Discuss a specific disease that is caused by abnormal receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in a cell.

Description

1- After reading the article “Hemoglobin Variants: Biochemical Variants and Clinical Correlates,” by Thom, Dickson, Gell, and Weiss (2013), select and post two unique characterized hemoglobin variants with altered oxygen binding

2- Describe a unique example of a competitive inhibitor and how it functions

3- Discuss a specific disease that is caused by abnormal receptor tyrosine kinase signaling in a cell.

4- In some cases, patients are given steroid hormone replacement therapy or athletes may take exogenous steroid hormones to enhance performance. Discuss the potential cellular effects that can occur with high levels of steroid hormone administration and include your opinion on the appropriate use of steroid hormone replacement.

5- Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) Gene website provided in the topic materials and search for “Human Integrin.” How many different integrin genes were in your search results? Select one of the integrin genes from your search results that has not been posted by a peer, and describe a disease or phenotype associated with that integrin.

6- Read the diseases and phenotypes originally reported by your peers and respond with the location that type of integrin may be expressed in the human body.

7- Describe a characterized mutation in a unique cell cycle gene, and the resulting human disease that can result from it.
