Summary Introduction

To determine: The risk factors present that predispose the child to the development of acute otitis. Media.

Introduction: Otitis Media is the inflammation of the middle ear without any etiology or pathogenesis. There are two types of Otitis media: acute otitis media and otitis media with effusion. Acute otitis media is a middle ear infection, and Otitis Media with effusion is the inflammation of the middle ear along with the discharge of fluid.

B.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether signs and symptoms are typical of otitis media in the child of this age.

Introduction: The middle ear is also known as the tympanic cavity, which is an air-filled present in the petrous portion of the temporal bone. The membrane is bound anteriorly and spanned by three auditory ossicles. The two openings oval windows and the cochlear window are present which communicate in the inner ear.

C.

Summary Introduction

To determine: The pathogens of the condition and treatment that can be indicated.

Introduction: The Otitis media is contributed by a dysfunction of the eustachian tube, the influx of the bacteria into the middle ear leads to the infection. The increased risk of getting the disease is due to shorter, horizontal, and wider eustachian tube.

D.

Summary Introduction

To determine: Whether the mother should be concerned about hearing loss in a child of this age.

Introduction: The cases of OM can be resolved within a 3-week to 3 month period with the help of antimicrobial therapy along with corticosteroid therapy. The evaluation of hearing is essential if the OM persists for three months and more. The surgical treatment would include tympanostomy tubes if the effusion persisted for four months.

If using animals in medical experiments could save human lives, is it ethical to do so? In your answer, apply at least one ethical theory in support of your position.
You aim to test the hypothesis that the Tbx4 and Tbx5 genes inhibit each other's expression during limb development. With access to chicken embryos and viruses capable of overexpressing Tbx4 and Tbx5, describe an experiment to investigate whether these genes suppress each other's expression in the limb buds. What results would you expect if they do repress each other? What results would you expect if they do not repress each other?
You decide to delete Fgf4 and Fgf8 specifically in the limb bud. Explain why you would not knock out these genes in the entire embryo instead.
