Textbook Question
Chapter 11, Problem 3CCS
Nursing Student with Neuropathic Pain
Tamara Costa broke her right tibia and has undergone two separate surgeries to repair it. Although the bone has healed, she suffers increasing pain around the incision sites. The painful area covers the lateral surface of her right leg. She can't stand wearing anything over it or even having a sheet touch it. Her diagnosis is postsurgical neuropathic pain. Pain medication has not helped.
Tamara is a second-year nursing student and has done some reading to try to understand her problem and perhaps find a solution. She has found an article that says neuropathic pain may be caused by a decreased threshold for action potential generation in pain-detecting neurons. However, she has forgotten some of her physiology and needs some help in understanding what she is reading. She has logged into the “Ask a Nurse" chat line–and she got you!
3. The paper Tamara read claims that drugs that block voltage-gated sodium channels can help with neuropathic pain. Explain how this might work.

"One of the symmetry breaking events in mouse gastrulation requires the amplification of Nodal on the side of the embryo opposite to the Anterior Visceral Endoderm (AVE). Describe one way by which Nodal gets amplified in this region."
My understanding of this is that there are a few ways nodal is amplified though I'm not sure if this is specifically occurs on the opposite side of the AVE.
1. pronodal cleaved by protease -> active nodal
2. Nodal -> BMP4 -> Wnt-> nodal
3. Nodal-> Nodal, Fox1 binding site
4. BMP4 on outside-> nodal
Are all of these occuring opposite to AVE?

- Plekhg5 functions in bottle cell formation, and Shroom3 functions in neural plate closure, yet the phenotype of injecting mRNA of each into the animal pole of a fertilized egg is very similar. What is the phenotype, and why is the phenotype so similar? Is the phenotype going to be that there is a disruption of the formation of the neural tube for both of these because bottle cell formation is necessary for the neural plate to fold in forming the neural tube and Shroom3 is further needed to close the neural plate? So since both Plekhg5 and Shroom3 are used in forming the neural tube, injecting the mRNA will just lead to neural tube deformity?arrow_forwardWhat are some medical issues or health trends that may have a direct link to the idea of keeping fat out of diets?arrow_forwardwhat did charles darwin do in sciencearrow_forward
