For each disorder create a story of your life as if you have these disorders. Write ONE story for each disorder: (1) Major Depression (2) Bipolar (3) Schizophrenia ( I NEED THE FIRST ONE MAJOR DEPRESSION. You should post THREE stories ( Do the first one page ) – You must discuss: The symptoms that you experience, You should not experience all of them, Make sure the symptoms match the cause, if possible, ONE cause, Your disorders cannot have more than ONE cause,  Neurotransmitters and/or brain structures involved, Only those neurotransmitters and/or brain structures related to the cause that you chose, THREE types of treatments that you have tried and which ONE actually worked, Assume you know everything about your disorder, you have tried 3 treatments, you know the cause and the neurotransmitters/brain structures involved.

During the meeting, review the Microbiological Diseases: Nonrespiratory Infectious Diseases Case Study below:Mr. Jones is a 69-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital 10 days earlier with a diagnosis of acute diverticulitis. He was given intravenous fluids and empiric antibiotic coverage with ceftriaxone and metronidazole. His antibiotics were stopped after 7 days, and he continued to do well until today, when he developed abdominal pain, fever, and diarrhea. A diagnosis of Clostridium difficile colitis was made, and antibiotic treatment was initiated.Discuss the following questions:What diagnostic test would confirm the diagnosis?What risk factors did Mr. Jones have to acquire a Clostridium difficile infection?Why is oral but not intravenous vancomycin a potential treatment option for this infection?One person from each group should respond to this discussion with a link to their group’s recording and a summary of the discussion that took place.

uestion 1 should be 500 words or less (can be up to 2 pages). it should be supported with figures. The second question should be a description based on the figure/diagram provided below.

Length: 300 words Most parents intend the best for their children. But do parents have a duty to avoid harming their children by passing on genetic or other diseases to them? What are the ethical implications of prenatal testing? Is it an ethical requirement or ethically problematic? Asch discusses how the attitude of trying to give a child the best chances in having a good life can be also seen as discriminatory against a group, namely, those with disabilities. Is that right?  How do the ethical questions change when the method of prenatal testing is no longer amniocentesis, but PGD?  We’ll especially consider that question with respect to sibling donors.

The file “Homework 6 Data.xlsx” contains the results of a QTL analysis of stem rust severity (%) for wheat chromosome 3B.  The analysis used homozygous inbred lines from a resistant parent × susceptible parent cross, and an SNP-based chip for wheat.  The mean disease severities for both parental genotypes at each of >200 marker locations, as well as the significance (-log10 p-value) of the marker-phenotype associations, are provided.•How many quantitative loci can be identified? What is their estimated location and effect size?

Why protein structure determination is very important in drug design? What is the impact in terms of science, health, and cost?

For this final paper, you must be more formal than with your past weekly journal/reflection papers. The topic for your final paper is Evolution.  Despite evolution’s potential for personal controversy, it is an essential element of biology and our natural world. In this paper, you will outline your response to a hypothetical situation by presenting your supporting arguments and summarizing your conclusion. Hypothetical Situation Imagine on the first day during which your class is discussing evolution, a fellow student says to you, “I don’t believe in evolution or that it creates new species of organisms.” What would you say back to this student? Do you agree with them? Does the scientific evidence agree with them? Why or why not? Support your response to the student with the scientific concepts we are learning about in class. Details This submission is required to be a minimum of 3 pages, double?spaced, 12 point standard font, in APA format, and with additional works cited page. 20.0 pts Exemplary – Thoughtfully considers both sides, specifies a response, clearly connects to scientific evidence, and ends with a comprehensive conclusion tying all the elements together. 15.0 pts Exemplary – Supplements paper with MORE than 3 relevant and appropriate resources that are clearly incorporated into the body of the paper. 10.0 pts Exemplary – The paper is extremely well organized, makes transitions from paragraph to paragraph, no spelling or grammatical errors, and no evidence of plagiarism. 5.0 pts Exemplary – The paper completely adheres to the formatting requirements laid out in the instructions (including proper reference citation).
