Some of the infections are zoonotic, and lyme disease is one of the zoonotic bacterial diseases caused by a bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi,transmitted through the bite of blacklegged ticks. If untreated, the infection can lead to complications in the heart, nervous system and joints.

- hi, can I please get help on a case study on nueroanatomy I have been struggling for a couple of hours now and can't seem to understand the study to answer the following questions. is there any way or format that i can get help. I would really appreciate it. thanks! 1. Based on the information in the case, what is the most likely neuroanatomic location for a single lesion that can explain all of the patient’s symptoms and signs? In your own words, explain how you arrived at that localization. 2.What are some possibilities for the nature of the lesion (e.g., stroke, tumor, trauma, etc.)? In your own words, explain your rationale for these options. 3. How does the laboratory data and neuroimaging demonstrate the actual lesion for the patient? Describe how you interpret the data in your own words. 4.How was the patient was treated, and how did they subsequently fare? Describe the treatment plan in your own words.arrow_forwardA 65 year old patient undergoes a hernia repair surgery. He receives a polypropylene mesh implant that prevents hernia recurrence. The healing goes well, but four weeks after the surgery he develops fever and sense of discomfort at the surgery site. On a physical examination, there is skin redness and fluctuating mass (palpable mass filled with fluid) around the incision. The doctor suspects that mesh got infected and plans mesh removal surgery. 1) Describe the sequence of local events during wound healing after the implantation of the mesh. For each of the stages of the wound healing process, specify cells that are involved, their role(s), signal molecules that are involved, and their roles. 2) Which pathogen most likely caused the infection? 3) After initiation of antibiotic treatment, the symptoms are resolved in two days and the patient stops taking antibiotic against the doctor's advise. Two weeks later, the mesh is removed and analyzed. It is found that a small area of the mesh…arrow_forwardA 65 year old patient undergoes a hernia repair surgery.

"The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs. In light of the preceding paragraph, do you think that…arrow_forward

- 156. Numerous cross-sectional studies in different populations have shown a significant relationship between the use of tanning beds and the development of melanoma. The odds ratios of these studies range from 3.2 to 7.1. In these studies, the number of hours of tanning bed use was highly correlated with an increase in the size and number of dysplastic nevi. Which of the following is the greatest limitation in establishing causality from these studies? A) Biologic plausibility B) Consistency of the findings C) Dose response D) Strength of association E) Temporal sequence of eventsarrow_forward1.[Single Choice] The wrong description about the treatment of hand skin cutting injury is () A Debridement should be performed within 8 hours after injury Debridement is best performed under a hemostatic band Excision of skin margin is better than less to prevent infection The wound should be closed primarily.
