Case-1: Patient History A.C. is a 79-year-old man living in a long-term care facility. He has had multiple medical diagnoses, including heart failure (HF), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and a stroke. He is bedridden and receiving enteral tube feedings. He has chronic diarrhea thought to be related to his tube feedings. He receives digoxin and furosemide (Lasix) to manage his heart failure. Analyze this case study and answer the next three questions that follow.

Case-1: Question-1

A.C. is prone to several acid-base and fluid-electrolyte disorders. Which of the following is/are true for this patient? (select all that apply)

Hypernatremia

Respiratory acidosis

Hypokalemia

Saline excess

Case-1: Question-2

How would A.C. attempt to compensate for respiratory acidosis should it occur?

Compensation through renal production of more bicarbonate ions.

Compensation through hypoventilation.

Compensation through hyperventilation.

Compensation through renal excretion of bicarbonate ions.

Case-1: Question-3

What acid-base imbalance might occur as a result of A.C.’s chronic diarrhea? (select all that apply)

Respiratory acidosis

Metabolic alkalosis

Respiratory alkalosis

Metabolic acidosis

Q1. What is the function of the protein encoded by Bacterium A GeneA1

a) Shiga Toxin

b) Resistance to beta lactam antibiotics

c) Synthesis of peptidoglycan

d) Catalase enzyme

e) Oxidase enzyme

Q2.Why would the knowledge of the presence of GeneA1 in Bacterium A be important to medical staff if this organism was isolated from a hospital patient suffering with acute diarrhea?

a) The medical staff would know not to treat the infection with hydrogen peroxide

b) The medical staff would know they needed to treat the infection with hydrogen peroxide

c) The medical staff would suspect the symptoms were caused by a Gram positive bacterium and could choose an appropriate antibiotic for treatment

d) The medical staff would suspect the symptoms were caused by a toxin-producing bacterium and could choose an appropriate antibiotic for treatment

e) The medical staff would know they could not use beta-lactam antibiotics for treatment

a) The medical staff would know not to treat the infection with hydrogen peroxide

b) The medical staff would know they needed to treat the infection with hydrogen peroxide

c) The medical staff would suspect the symptoms were caused by a Gram negative bacterium and could choose an appropriate antibiotic for treatment

d) The medical staff would suspect the symptoms were caused by a toxin-producing bacterium and could choose a beta-lactam antibiotic for treatment

The Whitehall study is a ground‐breaking longitudinal (prospective cohort) study that clearly demonstrated the association between social determinants of health (the social gradient) and morbidity and mortality (cardiovascular disease) in a population of British civil servants (Breeze et al., 2001; Chandola et al., 2008; (Marmot et al., 1978).

Read these papers and answer the following questions.

Question 1: What is the sampling frame for the Whitehall studies?

a. Clinical and mortality records for British civil service employees

b. Employment records for the British civil service

c. 19,029 males for Whitehall I and 10,308 males and females for Whitehall II

d. British civil servants evaluated across seven phases from 1967‐2004

Question 2: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Marmot paper?

a. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Relative risk was calculated to assess disease risk.

b. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires, a job stress questionnaire and clinical examination. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

c. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

Question 3: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Breeze paper?

a. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Relative risk was calculated to assess disease risk.

b. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires, a job stress questionnaire and clinical examination. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

c. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

Question 4: How was disease risk assessed (data collection and analysis) for the Chandola paper?

a. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Relative risk was calculated to assess disease risk.

b. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires, a job stress questionnaire and clinical examination. Cox proportional hazard models were used to calculate hazard ratios and logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

c. Data was collected using medical and behavioural questionnaires and clinical examination. Logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios.

Question 5: Select all that apply:

When we consider whether we can generalise the results of these studies to other populations, we need to consider:

a. The gender distribution of the population

b. Ethnic diversity within the population

c. Economic similarity of the population

d. The type of work done by the people in the population

e. Whether the population is in a rural or remote location

f. The class structure of the population

Question 6: Could we use an existing Australian research study cohort, such as the 45 and Up study, to explore the same things as explored in the Whitehall studies? Why/ why not?
