He has round, blue eyes, curly blonde hair and striking white skin so the nurses nicknamed him Cupid. Baby Jordan is currently being taken care at home after 7 days in the hospital, since he was initially showing signs of lethargy and formula rejection.The doctor recommended an Ophthalmologic test and the result confirmed blue iris, gray papilla and no pigment in the fundus. 1. Name the two (2) amino acids that are involved in the pathophysiologic process. 2. What enzyme is deficient considering his condition? 3. What is the condition of Baby Jordan based on the presented information?

This is homework not a test! From NTSA case study https://static.nsta.org/case_study_docs/case_studies/cystic_fibrosis.pdf Please help with questions 2, 3 and 4 of part four 2. "The successful use of gene therapy to cure SCID syndrome (2000) is hoped to be a permanent cure for those patients because a good copy of the problem gene was inserted into the patients' blood stem cells in the bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells). Once white blood cells enter the blood stream they have a limited life span, on the order of a few week to months. The blood stem cells are the cells that create more white blood cells to replace those that are lost. If the gene was only inserted into the circulating mature white blood cells, the patient would only be temporarily cured until those cells were used up or died." The current gene therapy approaches to cure CF involve inserting a functional CFTR gene into the mature epithelial cells of the lungs. In light of the preceding paragraph, do you think that…
 Mr. Yeboah, diagnosed with a malignant tumour of the liver had it removed and was given a course of chemotherapy. Initially, tumour marker (AFP) activity activity was 7500KU/L (which is very high) but after treatment, this gradually declined to only 5KU/L. A routine follow up test was perfomedafter 3 months and the results was 15KU/L for AFP. The doctor suspected a relapse of the tumour and so referred Mr. Yeboahto an oncologist at a cancer centre who also did a re-check. AFP was recorded to be 5KU/L. Enquiries revealed that the hospital and the cancer centre use different instruments for the measurement of AFP. Both results are normal even though the values are significantly different because different methods were used.a) How can both labs confirm that the results are not clinically significant? b) How can both labs avoid this happening again?

hi, can I please get help on a case study on nueroanatomy I have been struggling for a couple of hours now and can't seem to understand the study to answer the following questions. is there any way or format that i can get help. I would really appreciate it. thanks! 1. Based on the information in the case, what is the most likely neuroanatomic location for a single lesion that can explain all of the patient’s symptoms and signs? In your own words, explain how you arrived at that localization. 2.What are some possibilities for the nature of the lesion (e.g., stroke, tumor, trauma, etc.)? In your own words, explain your rationale for these options. 3. How does the laboratory data and neuroimaging demonstrate the actual lesion for the patient? Describe how you interpret the data in your own words. 4.How was the patient was treated, and how did they subsequently fare? Describe the treatment plan in your own words.

Explain how does the ACHE Code applies to this case? Rachel Greene has been a nurse at Spring Hills Medical Center for 13 years and has served well in a number of positions, including head of an intensive care unit (ICU) for 2 years. After returning from a short leave to care for her mother, she had four different temporary assignments. Her co-workers and the nurse managers on two units have noticed strong mood swings in Rachel, including, at times, what they felt was an excited and hyperactive state. Sometimes her mood seemed to change dramatically even during a shift; at times she was exceptionally pleasant, at other times she was argumentative and disruptive. One nurse said she heard from a friend (outside the hospital) that Rachel, who had been living alone since her mother died, was involved with a group of neighbors that have a reputation for using drugs. Her former nursing manager thought that Rachel might even be stealing controlled substances from the hospital; she and a…
