H. Pylori
1. which one is the most effective treatment and how effective are the other options?
2. Are you able to get this infection from the H. pylori living on your own teeth or in your own saliva? Or is this not a typical bacteria living in your oral microbiome? Also, why is the pain worse on an empty stomach?
3. what can interfere with testing for H. pylori?
4. Does H. pylori affect any other body system other than the gastrointestinal system? Can it enters the blood stream or the hepatic system?

2)Explain the social and ethical problems for the society at large that arose from the crisis and its treatment (e.g. environmental, educational, housing, healthcare, etc.)?3)Explain to what extent - if any - consumerism and colonialism may have exacerbated these problems?
Clinical Case Study
Four generations of the DOE family live in the southeastern United States: 72 -year old grandmother Nancy, 44-year old father Chad, Chad's oldest daughter, Gina, 23 years old, and Gina's 18 month-old son Joseph. As a whole, the family has had no previous significant medical history, yet interfaces with their primary care physician and medical specialists throughout their lifespan for various conditions.
While laboratory analysis often involved the collection of routine blood and urine specimens, the cases in this chapter will highlight times when they needed other body fluids collected for diagnostic purposes.
1) Besides blood and urine, what are other body fluids that can be collected for diagnostic purposes?
2) Do you believe that there are body fluids that are only clinically relevant at certain time points in life? Or, instead, are the diagnostic utility of these fluids equal across the lifespan?
