Q.1
Ans. A decade ago a hypothesis was proposed that, similar to bacteria and eukarya, the archaeal domain of life might harbor certain species capable of causing disease. The last decade witnessed a massive use of molecular ecology tools in clinical microbiology, these data can be inspected for the potential involvement of the archaea in various infectious diseases in human. Unlike the bacteria, diversity of the archaea in the human body is substantially lower, including representatives of only one phylum, Euryarchaeota. An association of archeae with human gastrointestinal disease was seen in patients with Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and primary pneumatosis intestinal displayed a significantly lower incidence of methane excretion compared to healthy subjects. Since then, there have been a number of studies and one with using molecular markers of ecology, such as 16rRNA and mcrA genes, which have confirmed that these two initial observations. That is, in conditions characterized by extended transit time in the intestine, the incidence, rate of methane production are higher, while the diarrheal conditions of human gastrointestinal disease result in the opposite trend with lower incidence of methanogenic archeae and lower rates of methane production.
Disease ecology assistance What is the role that wildlife play as an influence on human health? What are the three domains that are part of One Heath? What is the importance of each domain? What are some factors influencing the “new microbial storm”? How do these factors potentially provide opportunities for new pathogens? Each of the three domains are influenced by many factors – be able to provide several key factors for each.
Classify each description according to whether it describes bacteria, archaea, or eukarya. None associated with human disease Some have cell walls with lipopolysaccharide Perform photosynthesis with unique pigments Contain double stranded DNA within a membrane bound nucleus Contain membrane bound organelles Some are methanogenic Cause diseases in humans Unique lipids in the plasma membrane Thermoacidophiles Cell walls contain peptidoglycan Archaea Bacteria Eukarya
1. summarize the historical foundations for the teaching role of health professionals. For example, what did early healers do? what factors influenced the growth of patient education from the mid -1800s to the 20th century? When was emphasis placed on education of individual patients rather than general public health information? What does AHA’s A patient bill of rights have to do with patient education? What is the role of the JC in patient education? 2. What is the role of...
