Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 3NST
Because of its accessibility and biological significance, the proteome of human plasma has been intensively studied and used co provide biomarkers for such conditions as myocardial infarction (troponin) and congestive heart failure (B-type natriuretic peptide). Polanski and Anderson compiled a lise of 1261 proteins, some occurring in plasma, that appear to be differentially expressed in human cancers [Polanski, M., and Anderson, N. L. (2006) Biomarker Insights 2:1–48]. Of these 1261 proteins, only 9 have been recognized by the FDA as tumor-associated proteins. First, what advantage should there be in using plasma as a diagnostic screen for cancer? Second, what criteria should be used to validate that a cancerous state can be assessed through the plasma proteome?

A negligence action was brought by a mother against a hospital on behalf of her minor daughter. It alleged that when the mother was 13 years of age, the hospital negligently transfused her with Rh-positive blood. The mother's Rh-negative blood was incompatible with and sensitized by the Rh-positive blood. The mother discovered her condition 8 years later during a routine blood screening ordered by her healthcare provider in the course of prenatal care. The resulting sensitization of the mother's blood allegedly caused damage to the fetus, resulting in physical defects and premature birth.
Did a patient relationship with the transfusing hospital exist?
