Textbook Question
Chapter 15, Problem 26RQ
Robert is a 52-year-old nonsmoker. He weighs 180 lbs and stands 5′9″ tall, and his blood pressure averaged 145/95 on three successive visits to his doctor’s office. His father, grandfather, and uncle all had heart attacks in their early 50s, and his mother died of a stroke at the age of 71.
- a. Identify Robert’s risk factors for coronary heart disease.
- b. Does Robert have hypertension? Explain.
- c. Robert’s doctor prescribes a drug called a beta blocker. Explain the mechanism by which a beta-receptor-blocking drug may help lower blood pressure.

If someone was working with a 50 MBq F-18 source, what would be the internal and external dose consequences?
We will be starting a group project next week where you and your group will research and ultimately present on a current research article related to the biology of a pathogen that infects humans. The article could be about the pathogen itself, the disease process related to the pathogen, the immune response to the pathogen, vaccines or treatments that affect the pathogen, or other biology-related study about the pathogen.
I recommend that you choose a pathogen that is currently interesting to researchers, so that you will be able to find plenty of articles about it. Avoid choosing a historical disease that no longer circulates.
List 3 possible pathogens or diseases that you might want to do for your group project.
