Sylvia Gaylord works as a legal aide on the 12th floor of a tall glass-and-steel monument to modern architectural technology. On clear days, the views are spectacular. From her cubicle, Sylvia's eye catches the edge of the beautiful blue-and-white skyscraper as she reaches for her inhaler. This is the third attack since she returned from lunch four hours ago—her asthma is really bad today. But if she leaves work early again, her boss will write her up for it. Sylvia concentrates on breathing normally. Her roommate, Kelly, is a respiratory therapist at the county hospital. Kelly says Sylvia's asthma attacks are probably triggered by the city's high level of air pollution. That can't be true. They both run in the park every morning before work, and Sylvia rarely needs to use her inhaler. The problems start when she gets to work. The wheezing and coughing were so bad today that by the time she got up the elevator and into her cubicle, she could hardly breathe. Last night, the cable news…

Justine is a 14-year-old who is a star player on her high school's soccer team. The team is currently 17-2 this year and has a chance at going to the state championship. Over the past few days, Justine began feeling ill with noticeable signs of a high fever. Her parents decided to take her to the emergency room to get looked at. The attending physician admitted her to the hospital with an ongoing bacterial infection. It has been several days and the doctors are perplexed that her body is unable to fight off the infection. The doctors take a blood sample and have it sent to the lab for analysis. The lab results indicate that the vacuoles in her white blood cells are successfully trapping the bacteria. However, one specific organelle is malfunctioning; specifically, this organelle is not binding to the vacuoles and therefore cannot release the enzymes necessary to break down the bacterial cell walls. Identify the malfunctioning organelle so doctors can begin providing the proper…

Your 3-month-old son is taken to the emergency room because he has a fever and difficulty breathing. The child is admitted to intensive care because the doctor thinks he has a type of pneumonia whose name you do not recognize. The doctor reports that the hospital has seen a dozen pediatric cases of this pneumonia in the past week. The doctor swabs your son’s nose but says the results won’t be back for several days. In the meantime, they will give supportive therapy, including an inhaled spray, but no antibacterial drugs. The doctor feels sure the child will recover. 1. What kind of pneumonia is it? 2. Why aren’t they giving him antibacterial drugs? 3. How can the doctor be sure what’s causing the pneumonia if she doesn’t yet have test results? 4. Has the other child (a 3 years-old) been exposed to the infection?
Here's a photo of Sam. He has infectious mononucleosis (IM). After he was given the antibiotic penicillin he developed this rash: (rash in picture) Select two things that are consistent with this situation. 1. Mono often causes a really sore throat. Ali's doctor might have thought Ali had strep throat, and therefore prescribed an antibiotic. 2. Antibiotics only kill bacteria. Taking an antibiotic when you have mono will not cure mono. 3. The only explanation is that Ali simultaneously got mono, took penicillin, AND got chickenpox. 4. Although the rash is unpleasant, at least Ali will not get rheumatic fever or glomerulonephritis due to untreated mono.
