Mumps is a viral infection. The primary symptom of mumps is visible swelling of the parotid gland on either side of the face. However, the virus can also infiltrate the male reproductive system, causing the testes to atrophy. Some effects include oligospermia (low sperm count), azoospermia (no sperm in semen), and asthenospermia (reduced sperm movement).
Research treatment options for reduced sperm movement. Describe one option that can be used to aid successful fertilization and explain why it helps.
Allison, 46 years old and a mother of three, has her annual mammography. The results show a nodule in the breast tissue. A biopsy is done and the result is positive for breast cancer. List the signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
Select the best answer or answers from the choices given: A drug that “reminds the pituitary” to produce gonadotropins might be useful as (a) a contraceptive, (b) a diuretic, (c) a fertility drug, (d) an abortion stimulant.

- Rachel Clements is a 42-year-old mother of two, Sarah, age 12, and Jennifer, age 18. Because of a family history of breast cancer, she has been closely monitored for 4 years prior to her diagnosis. Mrs. Clements discovers a lump in her left breast during her monthly BSE. An incisional biopsy reveals invasive lobular carcinoma in the left breast. Mrs. Clements is debating whether to have reconstructive breast surgery. Her oncologist has recommended a 6-month course of adjuvant chemotherapy, and she is concerned about side effects. She is afraid that recovering from the mastectomy and completing the chemotherapy regimen will limit her ability to keep her part-time job, complete her academic work, and continue to meet the needs of her daughters. Also, this breast cancer diagnosis seems part of the family legacy. She wonders, “When will it happen to Jennifer? To Sarah?”.
