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.

1. What is the maximum theoretical ATP yield from anaerobic respiration? Give a breakdown of where in anaerobic respiration this ATP comes from. 2. What is the maximum theoretical ATP yield from aerobic respiration? Give a breakdown of where in aerobic respiration this ATP comes from. 3. Overview of the breakdown of glycogen. Use diagrams as appropriate. 4. Micro-organisms employ three main pathways to breakdown glucose to pyruvate. Describe one of these in detail; outline the substrate, enzymes, and products for each step. Provide diagrams in your answer.

There is a patient given with a disease process and it must talk about the process of disease, how it relates to the patient and caring for them as a nurse. Pseudo patient number 2 is who I am using that will be uploaded. This is a nutrition class for RN school.

discuss the effects of climate change

– Note that these are two different forms of skin cancer.  Discuss why basal cell carcinoma is common, while squamous cell carcinoma arises in a fairly surprising layer of the skin.

Complete the worksheet writing 100- to 200-word short answers for each question. Format your references consistent with APA guidelines. What is the direct evidence in support of the theory of natural selection? Include at least four examples. Humans shape their environment in ways that other organisms cannot. Are humans subject to the same pressures of natural selection as other organisms? Why? Provide an example of convergent and divergent evolution, adaptive radiation, and co-evolution. Then, choose one of the examples you provided. What implications might this example have for future humans? How does a new species evolve from a pre-existing species? Include a brief analysis of the factors affecting speciation

This discussion board aims to explore proper microscopy and staining procedures to accurately identify microbiological organisms for the purpose of treatment with antimicrobial therapy.    Objectives: Identify the architecture of a prokaryotic cell and its associated structures for identification. Compare and contrast the unique characteristics of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Instructions: Step 1: Respond to the following prompt. Using your understanding of the structural differences between Gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, answer the following question: You have been diagnosed with bacterial pneumonia caused by streptococcus pneumonia .  Are you dealing with a Gram-negative or Gram-positive microorganism?  In the doctors office they took a sputum sample and tested it using the gram stain to properly identify it.  What color did the gram stain produce?  Your doctor writes you a prescription for cetriaxone to treat the infection, and you note that you were given the same prescription last year.  Remembering that you have  some antibiotics left over from the previous prescription at home, you decide not to fill it.  Instead, you take the remainder of your previous prescription antibiotic.  How could that have been partially responsible for your condition now and why might taking the old antibiotic not be a good idea?  What should you do instead?

Prompt: After attending the lecture on Mendelian inheritance your study group is having great difficulty understanding the mechanism of dominance. They seem to think that the dominant allele masks or overrides the recessive allele in some way, but you know that it’s all about the products that the alleles are or are not expressing. Prepare an essay that you can present to your study group to help them understand the concept of dominance. Use your understanding of molecular biology to explain that recessive alleles are expressed through transcription and translation, and that they may have functional gene products. Describe how the interaction of the products produced by each allele results in what we see as dominant or recessive traits. Your summary should be typed in Times New Roman 12-pt font and be one-and-a-half-spaced with 1” margins.

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.
