a 35 year medically fit non-smoking patient presents complaining of a buccal intraoral swelling associated with his lower right posterior teeth. In addition, the patient complains of bleeding gums and wishes to improve the appearance of the gingiva around tooth FDI 23 that clinically has associated class II gingival recession.

Initial clinical examination indicates an intraoral swelling with a draining sinus between teeth FDI 45 and 46, grade I mobility of 46, generalized clinical loss of attachment of 3-4mm and generalized pocketing of 5-6mm with bleeding on probing around all teeth.

Questions:
1-discuss the treatment options available for the management of this patient

2-discuss the pros and cons for the non-surgical and surgical management

1. A clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a leopard-like cat found in Southeast Asia that has large patch patterns instead of the spots of the leopard (Panthera pardus) found in Africa and much of Asia. In recent news you can read stories declaring the clouded leopard of the islands of Borneo and Sumatra as being a different species from those found on the Asian mainland. If indeed these cats are a different species, this would be evidence of

2. The federal government approaches you and asks if you would be willing to take 1,000 wild mustang horses to help reduce mustang overpopulation on federal park land. You agree and release them on your huge ranch. Hundreds of years later your descendents travel back to the old family ranch to see if there are any horses left. What they find astounds themall the horses are either miniature brown type or very large brown draft horse types. None of the medium sized multicolored mustangs remain. Your descendents consult a horse geneticist and she tells them that this is probably the result of

Multiple Choice

  • a genetic bottleneck.

  • directional selection pressures operating on your ranch.

  • a mutation.

3. Except in identical twins or clones, no two individuals are genetically alike. All genetic variety in individuals comes from the fact that half of an individual's genes come from the male parent and the other half from the female parent.

True or False

4. You work for a zoo where you manage the breeding program for the cheetah. Your goal is to prevent inbreeding by obtaining mates from other zoos, making sure that your cats produce healthy offspring. In analyzing the genes of the cheetahs in all the zoo breeding programs, you notice very little variety of traits (alleles). Select all of the following conclusions which could be supported by your findings?

Check All That Apply

  • All of the zoo cheetahs come from just a few common ancestors.All of the zoo cheetahs come from just a few common ancestors.

  • The number of individual cheetahs currently in zoos must be very low.The number of individual cheetahs currently in zoos must be very low.

  • The variety of traits found in wild cheetahs is very narrow, possibly due to only a few of the animals surviving some event or series of events in the past.The variety of traits found in wild cheetahs is very narrow, possibly due to only a few of the animals surviving some event or series of events in the past.

Clinical application
Claire Diego is an 11 year old girl living in Los Angeles. She complains of having to urinate more frequently with a large urine volume. She also is very thirsty. She has no previous illnesses, except that 6 weeks ago she developed a sore throat. It persisted for 2.5 weeks until she was seen by her pediatrician. At that time it cleared over the next 2 weeks with antibiotics. She is current on her vaccinations. She has had no travel out of the State of California in her life. The family has no pets or contact with wildlife.

Her physical exam is unremarkable.
Her blood pressure is 120/77.
Other lab values:
Blood sugar = 99
ADH level = normal
Aldosterone level = normal
Urinalysis:
albumin = 5+
RBC’s = 40-50/HPF
Urine culture = negative


***If I said this was a renal corpuscle problem, what link can you see to the sore throat in her history?

Hint: how could antigen/antibody complexes and complement, then inflammation, from the immune system be involved in the etiology of the abnormality?

Look again at filtration pressures in the renal corpuscle. Which one of the pressures would now be abnormal in this patient? _____________.
Assign that pressure 14 mmHg.
Now draw a picture of the forces effecting filtrate flow through this patient’s renal corpuscle and show why she is she urinating more. Show her NFP.

1.- The micrographs of areolar and adipose tissue both show cells (fibroblasts and adipocytes), but the density of cells in the two tissues is very different. What do you think causes this difference?

2.- How does the arrangement of fibers differ in the two types of dense connective tissue?

3.- Dense regular connective tissue forms tendons, ligaments, aponeuroses, and fascia. Dense irregular connective tissue forms the reticular dermis, digestive tract submucosa, and organ and joint capsules. How does the arrangement of fibers in dense regular and dense irregular connective tissue determine the capacity for each tissue to withstand tension?

"When a visual stimulus is presented to us, our visual brain regions show two kinds of electrophysiological signals. One is fast and comes very soon (<100 ms) after the stimulus is shown, and can be traced to be coming from the retina through the thalamus. The other signal is slow and comes a bit later (>300 ms) after the stimulus, and can be traced to be coming from frontal and parietal regions. Disrupting these later signals that come from frontal and parietal regions however does disrupt vision. Why should this happen?"

I couldn't understand this question can you explain in details? I will rate. Thank you.

Endocrine Case Histories - Case 29
A 50-year-old male had a total thyroidectomy followed by thyroid hormone-replacement therapy.
Thirty-six hours later he developed laryngeal spasms, a mild tetany, and cramps in the muscles of the
hands and arms. The following tests were performed:
Urine calcium 20 mg/dL
Urine phosphorus 0.1 g/day
Plasma calcium 7.0 mg/dL
Plasma phosphorus 5.0 mg/dL
Calcium gluconate and vitamin D (calcitriol) were given orally each day and the tetany and laryngeal
spasms were alleviated.
1. Discuss this patient’ blood values.
