The Role of Diversity in Public Health WorkFor this discussion, analyze how your proposed project acknowledges the value of diversity in your attempt to address or solve a public health problem. Consider the information shared from the What Is Diversity? multimedia piece from this unit’s study and discuss the possible cultural difficulties in this project. How do you anticipate overcoming those difficulties?

Identify the types of joints and their structural and functional classifications.

An 18-year-old female is being seen in the office for lower abdominal pain and irregular menstrual bleeding. The physician wants to rule out PID and endometriosis. What are the sign and symptoms, and etiology of PID and endometriosis? What diagnostic test would the physician order? The physician also orders a CA125, what is this test used for? A 19-year-old male is being seen in the office for a red, swollen, and painful left scrotum. What are the risk factors, diagnostic tests, treatment, and prevention for epididymis and orchitis? Which STD scares you the most especially if you have teenagers and young adults, why? Identify and discuss the function of hormones of the anterior pituitary and posterior pituitary. If a 10-year-old patient is in anterior pituitary failure, what would you expect to see? What are the signs and symptoms of thyroid cancer? After a thyroidectomy, what medications will be required for the rest of the patient’s life? What purpose does the parathyroid have?

Animal Testing Humans use animals for all sorts of things, like food, of course, and companionship. They harvest all sorts of animal products from wool and leather to glue and even heart valves. Animals are used for many different services: guard dogs, therapy animals, truffle-hunting pigs, polo ponies, and so on. In 1933, more than a dozen women went blind after using Lash Lure mascara (National Academy Press, 2004). The compounds in this product literally burned their eyes and resulted in blindness and even death in one case. This led to the use of animals for safety testing of cosmetics. Today, animal testing for safety and efficacy of drugs, sweeteners, food additives, and medical treatments is commonplace. These uses are controversial, however, not only because the animals may suffer during the process and are often euthanized at the end of a test, but because even closely related mammals do not respond to drugs or toxins the same way humans do much of the time. Mice models are often used for safety testing, but they may not be the best choice. This video may help you decide: Should We Trust Studies On Mice Use this article to help shape your opinion on animal testing: 14 Pros and Cons of Animal Research Now choose ONE of the following topics: Volkswagen exhaust testing on monkeys Testing the safety of cosmetics Alzheimer’s treatments tested in animals  Answer the following four questions as they relate to your chosen topic: Explain the rationale and main benefit of the testing process you chose. Debate whether this use of animals is necessary or worthwhile. Is there an alternative to this testing? Is there some animal that it is okay to test on—insects, worms, fish, mice, and so on? Where do you draw the line? Use at least 1 credible source to support the arguments presented in your post.
