Summary Introduction

To determine:

What the man suffered from; what the antibodies were against; what the dark-staining bodies in his brains cells were; what the preventive measures are that might be used by the healthcare workers to save the man’s life.

Case summary:

A man with a neurological disorder (anxiety, feelings of fear, and unrestrained facial twitching) reached an emergency room. He also developed swallowing difficulties, itching, and sore throat. He negated to drink water due to swallowing difficulties. He frequently vomited and his body temperature is increased (106ºF). He died after being admitted in the hospital for one week. Increased antibody titer (blood) and dark-staining bodies (brain cells) are discovered after the autopsy. Through investigations, his family and friends mentioned that a bat had landed on his face.

One of the ways for a cell to generate ATP is through the oxidative phosphorylation. In oxidative phosphorylation 3 ATP are produced from every one NADH molecule. In respiration, every glucose molecule produces 10 NADH molecules. If a cell is growing on 5 glucose molecules, how much ATP can be produced using oxidative phosphorylation/aerobic respiration?
