This 9-year-old boy was taken to the emergency department with a sore throat. On examination, he had redness of the throat and slightly swollen glands. The physician assistant ordered a throat culture and blood drawn for an antistreptolysin-O antibody (ASO). An antibiotic was prescribed for a 10-day period. His mother was told to make an appointment with his pediatrician for a follow-up. At the follow-up visit 2 weeks later, the results of the laboratory test revealed a throat culture with a few colonies of β-streptococci. The qualitative ASO test result was reported as positive. The acute serum was frozen at the time of testing. The pediatrician ordered a convalescent specimen to be tested semiquantitatively in parallel with the acute specimen for an ASO titer.
The results of the parallel testing of the acute and convalescent specimens revealed the following:
• Acute specimen positive, 1:1 dilution/titer (IU/mL 200)
• Convalescent specimen positive, 1:4 dilution/titer (IU/mL 800)

Thinking Group Discussion Questions
1. Is the difference between the acute and convalescent titers significant?

Animal Physiology Question

1. Dynamic Range is the range of stimulus intensities over which a receptor can respond. Receptors that have a smaller (or narrower) dynamic range have much better discrimination of changes in stimulus intensity than receptors that have a large dynamic range (although I can’t test figures here, you should be able to draw a neuron with a wide vs. narrow dynamic range). Please explain the trade-off between dynamic range and discrimination using the relationship between number of action potentials fired and changes in stimulus intensity for both receptors with narrow vs. large dynamic ranges.

Animal Physiology Question

1. How do sensory neurons encode stimulus modality (i.e. type of stimulus), stimulus location, stimulus intensity and stimulus duration? Provide the level of detail necessary to understand these concepts, for hearing specifically. How does your brain distinguish low vs. high frequency sounds?
