To determine:
The health concerns related to ankylosing spondylitis.
Introduction:
Mr. D is suffering from ankylosing spondylitis which is a type of arthritis that affects the vertebral column. It is caused by the fusion of bones with each other.

PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?
