In some cases, certainly it isn't. It is important to note that the (H1N1) 2009 virus does cause severe infection in some people, including those who are otherwise healthy. While some fatal cases have been attributed to secondary bacterial infections or exacerbation of other health conditions, as is commonly seen in fatal cases of seasonal influenza in the elderly, an unusual feature of influenza A (H1N1) 2009 infection is severe viral pneumonitis, leading to acute respiratory distress syndrome, prolonged stays in intensive care units and extended use of mechanical ventilation or extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) . It is unclear what predisposes some people to mild versus severe complications.
A blood sample correctly identifies a disease 95% of the time when the disease is actually present. The same test gives false positives 0.5% of the time. One percent of the population actually have the disease. If you test positive what are the chances you have the disease?
A human disease known as cystic fibrosis is inherited as a recessive trait. For example, the possible outcomes of a child inheriting cystic fibrosis genes are CC Cc cC cc if the child’s parents had one copy of each version of the gene so the probability of having a disease is ¼. Find the probability that 3 out of 6 children of these parents will have a cystic fibrosis.
The individual actually had the disease Yes No The accompanying table shows the results from a test for a certain disease. Find the probability of selecting a subject with a negative test result, given that the subject has the disease. What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? ott Positive Negative 13 1155 Nd The probability is (Round to three decimal places as needed.) TH What would be an unfavorable consequence of this error? 51 bi O A. The...
What is the utility of proteomic analysis in understanding and treating human disease? How does proteomics help us connect genotype to phenotype? In comparing the protein content of a healthy cell to that of a diseased cell, are you able to definitively describe phenotype? Speculate on additional protein information you might need to better understand human disease.
A newspaper article states that biomass has actually been used as an energy source throughout human history. Do you agree or disagree with this statement? Defend your answer
Which of the following is a human disease caused by prions? Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) chickenpox (varicella) subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (SSPE) shingles
Summarize the possible role of archaea in human health and disease
Human disease can result from infection by pathogens, environmental conditions, and/or it can be inherited from the parents (i.e. genetics). You are working for the Center for Disease Control and you have been assigned to determine if a new disease results from a pathogen, an environmental condition, or genetics. With what you know right now, how would you determine that the disease is in fact a genetic disorder?
