Blood Types Are Determined by Cell-Surface Antigens A patient of yours has just undergone shoulder surgery and is experiencing kidney failure for no apparent reason. You check his chart and find that his blood is type B, but he has been mistakenly transfused with type A. Explain why he is experiencing kidney failure.
An increase in the number of which of the following suggests a bacterial infection? A. Lymphocytes B. Neutrophils C. Monocytes D. Eosinophils
One treatment for peanut allergies is to give an allergic child increasing doses of the peanut allergen proteins, starting at a very low level and progressing to higher concentrations, stopping if any reaction occurs. Such treatments are usually successful, but at least one death has been reported. Would you agree to treat your allergic child this way? What are the risk-benefit considerations?
In preparation for a scheduled surgery, a patient visits the hospital lab for a blood draw. The technician collects a blood sample and performs a test to determine its type. She places a sample of the patients blood in two wells. To the first well she adds anti-A antibody. To the second she adds anti-B antibody. Both samples visibly agglutinate. Has the technician made an error, or is this a normal response? If normal, what blood type does this indicate?

Aspirin is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) that inhibits the formation of blood clots and is taken regularly by individuals with a heart condition. Steroids such as cortisol are used to control some autoimmune diseases and severe arthritis by down regulating the inflammatory response. After reading the role of inflammation in the bodys response to infection, can you predict an undesirable consequence of taking anti inflammatory drugs on a regular basis?

Nifedipine is an antihypertension medication that is also used to reduce the workload on the heart. The study below compares the effects of two different types of capsules used to administer the drug to patients (GITSred line, and Cotracten Xblue line). Each graph shows changes with time following initial administra- tion of the capsules. Figure A compares the levels of nifedipine in the blood with each capsule type. The ability of the different cap- sules to reduce workload on the heart by altering blood pressure or heart rate is shown in Figures B and C, respectively. Are elevated plasma levels of nifedipine(above 10 ng/mL) required for the drug to perform its actions? Source: M. J. Brown and C. B. Toal. 2008. Formulation of long-acting nifedipine tablets influences the heart rate and sympathetic nervous system response in hypertensive patients. British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology 65:646652.
