SeAnna Brantley Microbiology Case Studies 1.1-1.8
Case 1.1 1. The fertility specialist recommended the rubella vaccine because if the rubella virus is contracted early in pregnancy there is an increased risk of miscarriage or birth defects such as deafness, cataracts, mental retardation, heart defects, liver and spleen damage. There are contraindications related to conceiving within four weeks of receiving the rubella vaccination because it is a “live” vaccine and could still cause complications. 2. In the United States it is recommended that children receive the first dose of the MMR (measles, mumps rubella) vaccination between 12-15 months (not earlier) and then to receive a second dose around 4-6 years of age. 3. The client’s

Without antibiotic treatment this type of bacterial infection lasts about 10
days but with the antibiotic treatment can be reduced to 2-4 days. Bacterial conjunctivitis is highly communicable and is easily passed from person to person. 4. Natural defenses that help prevent eye infections include: the blinking reflex, tears, barriers such as the eyelid and orbital septum, presence of leukocytes and Langerhans’ cells also help as defense mechanisms. 5. There are preventative measures that could be taken to prevent the spread of this infection. Such measures are washing hands frequently, disinfecting common areas within the class room and simply educating the students on how the infection is spread. Case 1.5 1. This patient had necrotizing fasciitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes. The presence of the gram-positive cocci growing in chains is the evidence of Streptococcus pyogenes. To consider the condition to be caused by Clostridium perfringens or gangrene there would need to be gram-positive rod-shaped bacteria obtained from the wound. 2. The below the knee amputation was the best solution for this type of infection because necrotizing fasciitis progresses and spreads rapidly, delaying surgical intervention increases the risk of mortality. 3. This bacterium is generally transmitted through person-to-person contact and sometimes can be found in unpasteurized milk. In this case the transmission was most likely related to the
The facts in this case are that Harvey Pierce ambushed and shot Robin Kerl and her fiancé David Jones in the parking lot of a Madison Wal-Mart where Kerl and Jones worked. Kerl was seriously injured in the shooting, and Jones was killed. Pierce, who was Kerl’s former boyfriend, then shot and killed himself. At the time of the shooting, Pierce was a work-release inmate at the Dane County jail who was employed at a nearby Arby’s restaurant operated by Dennis Rasmussen, INC. Pierce had left work without permission at the time of the attempted murder and murder/suicide. Kerl and Jones’ estate sued DRI and Arby’s, INC. As in pertinent to this appeal, the plaintiffs alleged

That's when she faced a difficult ethical decision: She could order the shirts from a low-cost company in China or she could order them from a fair-trade company in San Francisco, which provided safe conditions and higher wages for the workers who made the clothing. The fair trade shirts were $28.65,making the grand total for her project $8,595. In contrast, the Chinese T-shirts were $5.50 each, and the company's Web site promised fast and free delivery for a grand total of $1,100.
7/13 Worker went to the home of Crystal Sebastian. Worker knocked on the door and Crystal greeted the worker and invited the worker in. Crystal had a quarter sized hicky on the left side of her neck. As the worker and Crystal walk into the apartment Crystal shows the worker Josilynn's hover board for her birthday. The apartment was unorganized and messy. Worker and Crystal sat down in the living room to discuss court, ACR and Services. Crystal is working for the news paper route currently and seeking employment. Worker spoke about visitation and gave Crystal the 502 forms to fill out. Crystal spoke about visitation supervised and unsupervised. Worker stated that the worker did not have the man power, but it was an option to look into.
Congenital rubella infection, or CRI, manifests itself as the following transient signs and symptoms: bone lesions, hepatitis, neonatal thrombocytopenic purpura, meningoencephalitis. In addition to that, some sequelae that are late-emerging with the disease include progressive rubella panencephalitis and diabetes mellitus, added on to the heart disease, mental retardation, cataracts, and deafness as defined in the past to be due to congenital rubella infection. (1) Between the patterns of immune response and virus excretion of congenital vs. postnatal rubella, sharp contrasts were documented. The enormous production and distribution of attenuated rubella virus vaccines in 1969 played a major role in the prevention of a rubella epidemic. However, even in the U.S., pockets of rubella still remain. To eliminate rubella entirely, there will be much more effort required.
Mark volunteered to help with the community arts festival; he was supporting the not-for-profit organization as he had in the past. However, he did not know his good intentions as a volunteer would cost him his job as an assistant manager. The retail store’s phone number was printed in the festival advertising in error and ticket requests overloaded the phone lines, causing loss of business and annoyed the store manager. As a result, Mark was seen as the cause of the problems and terminated.
Research done by the Centres for Disease Control and Protection (CDC) has shown that the MMR vaccine, or the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine, is 93% effective against measles after one dosage, and 97% effective after two doses. Moreover, the Varicella (chickenpox) vaccine is shown to be 98% effective after two doses, and the hepatitis B vaccine is shown to be over 90% effective in infants, children and adults alike. Despite the fact that the aforementioned vaccines aren’t 100 percent effective, their high success rates still prove that vaccines are extremely effective, thus making them essential to maintaining children’s
Jennifer is a 2nd grader being referred for possible learning disabilities in reading. Jennifer has always attended Sand Hill Elementary and has not repeated a grade. She is eight years old. She has been screened for vision and hearing problems and was found to have normal vision and hearing. Her teachers have described her as cooperative and likable. She does not exhibit behavioral problems.
Also, contraction is very possible through the skin via abrasions both small and large. This type of infection would be contracted from exposure to other people harboring the bacteria, bacteria in the air, or bacteria on the injured person. Being infected this way can rarely result in necrotizing fasciitis. It is also very possible, albeit very rare, that Streptococcus pyogenes can be transmitted through food, most notably milk and its products. This form of infection is usually caused by improper or lack of pasteurization of the milk. The bacteria that are responsible hardly ever come from an outside source, and are usually present within the cow when infected milk is produced. However, these two other methods of transmission are far less likely than the usual human-to-human respiratory infections. (6,2,1)
“Rubella is a contagious disease caused by a virus. Most people who get rubella usually have a mild illness, with symptoms that can include a low grade fever, sore throat, and a rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Rubella can cause a miscarriage or serious birth defects in a developing baby if a women is infected while she is pregnant. The best protection against rubella is MMR (measles - mumps - rubella) vaccine” (“Rubella” par. 1). Rubella not only impacts children, but it can affect unborn babies and cause a multitude of issues. The MMR vaccine protects against measles and rubella, along with mumps as well. The vaccine greatly reduces the disease. “Two doses of MMR vaccine are 97% effective against measles and 88% effective against mumps. One dose of MMR vaccine is 93% effective against measles, 78% effective against mumps, and 97% effective against rubella” (“MMR” par. 43). One dose of MMR shows effectiveness around ninety three percent for measles, and ninety seven percent for rubella. Effectiveness percentages that high after one dose proves that the vaccine benefits children and their
In the event that a pregnant lady gets rubella amid the initial three months of pregnancy, her child has a decent risk of having genuine conception abandons, for example, deafness, cataracts, heart imperfections, liver and spleen harm, and mental hindrance
Case Name The Smithson’s Mortgage Case Study Teams This case is designed to be conducted by a team of students. The discussion, questioning, and resolution of differences is an important part of the learning experience. Another significant advantage is the sharing of the workload in preparing the final case study report. Knowledge Background This case draws heavily on the material presented in Chapters 2 and 3 of Principles of Engineering Economic Analysis, 4th Edition by White, Case, Pratt, and Agee, particularly Section 3.4 (Principal Amount and Interest Amount in Loan Payments). To a limited extent it draws on concepts from Chapter 4 (Measuring the Worth of Investments), Chapter 5 (Comparison
Downsizing has become a commonplace strategy for organizations to adopt in an effort to cut costs, eliminate redundancies, and streamline organizational systems. Over the last 15 years, many organizations have engaged in downsizing more than once. Most companies have learned from the mistakes of the past, but some companies are still trying to use the same tactics today that were used in the mid 1980s, that leave employees reeling.
Following that, the expected values for decision nodes 6 and 7 should also be calculated. The following results were obtained:
Last but not least, investors are easy to get the control of SDB due to its
