Part 2: Pathopysiology

Mr. F is a 38-year-old man in overall good health who has been complaining about an aching pain in his knees when working around the house and often when simply walking. He has noticed that his knees feel “hard” and tight. His history indicates that he has always been involved in athletics and was on the college football team, but recently family responsibilities and work have not made it easy for him to exercise.

Discussion Questions

1. Relate Mr. F’s case history to the pathophysiology of osteoarthritis.

2. How do anti-inflammatory drugs and analgesics help Mr. F deal with this form of arthritis?

    a.  Why is moderate, non–weight-bearing exercise recommended?

Part 3: Pathopysiology

Mr. K. is a 57-year-old man who consulted his physician after noticing marked leg pains while playing golf. He had previously noticed increasing fatigue and discomfort in his legs associated with moderate exercise. When sitting for extended periods with legs dangling, his legs became red, and sometimes his feet felt numb. His history indicates he smokes cigarettes and is chronically overweight. His blood cholesterol and other lipid levels are abnormal, and his physician suspects peripheral atherosclerosis as the cause of his discomfort.

Discussion Questions:

1. Discuss the development of atherosclerosis, including the predisposing factors in this case and the pathophysiological changes.

2. Discuss the complications that might develop in this patient. (Pathophysiology, Signs and Symptoms.)

3. Discuss the treatments for all aspects of the patient’s condition, including slowing the progress of the

atherosclerosis, maintaining circulation in the leg, and treating complications.

M3: Lesson 9 – Discussion

1. Create an original posting with a minimum of 250-300 words.
2. Back up your arguments with reliable evidence.

Hypothesis and Variables

Scenarios:

A researcher wonders how well the sense of smell functions during sleep. In general, we know that our sensory systems operate at a higher threshold during sleep. That is, a more intense stimulus is required to elicit a response during sleep than during wakefulness. Furthermore, we are less responsive during some stages of sleep than during others. Experiments using sounds suggest that we are less responsive during stages 3 and 4 sleep (deep sleep) than during stages 1, 2, or REM sleep (lighter sleep). Thus, the 4 – 16 researcher predicts that research participants will be less responsive to odors during stages 3 and 4 sleep than during the other stages of sleep. The researcher devises a system for delivering odors while college students sleep in the laboratory. Peppermint fragrance is delivered at specific times through a modified oxygen mask that the students wear while they sleep. Electrodes are attached to each student’s scalp, face, and chin to determine sleep staging. Electrodes are also attached to each student’s chest to record heart rate. A change in heart rate following presentation of the odor is used to indicate that the participant detected the odor.

Instructions:

1. Read the scenario above and answer the following questions:
   1. What is the research hypothesis?
   2. What is the independent variable?
   3. Is the independent variable a qualitative variable or a quantitative variable?  Explain. 
   4. Why might the researchers want to use multiple dependent variables?
   5. Describe one limitation of this study. 

Instructions:

1. Write a 3 page paper on environmental health, the environmental factors that impact health, and your role with improving/ eliminating environmental barriers to health.

5. Summary and Conclusion: (minimum of one paragraph of 4 to 5 sentences). 
6. References: Must use a minimum of 3 reference besides the textbook that is 5 years or newer (2013-2018).
