Mrs Lee is a 60 years old woman. She is the housewife and lives with his husband and son in the public estate.
Last week, she went to the wet market for buying food and groceries. She slipped fall on the street. Her right upper arm and armpit region were hit on the kerb. She went home and massage the armpit and upperarm immediately with massage oil. However pain over upper arm and armpit were still. At evening severe bruising was noted over upper arm and also the axilla. Mrs Lee was admitted to A&E department. She complaint numb over upper arm and could not move her wrist. Her X-ray indicated fractures over proximal part of humerus and she was sent to the ward for further treatment.
The examination showed that her shoulder movement was limited due to pain elicited and muscle weakness. Numbness was also noted over upper arm, forearm and dorsum of the right hand. Sensory test showed that diminished sensation, only pain sensation was intact. She had weakness in wrist movement. Right hand grip was normal.
Please answer according to the following guidance:
1. According to Mrs Lee condition, please indicate the structures that were involved in this accident? a) List out the fracture sites along the humerus with Mrs Lee presentation and the bony
landmarks.
b) List out the artery (arteries) and vien (veins) involved in this accident
c) List out the nerve (nerves) that would be invloved in this accident
2. What is/are movement limitation that Mrs Lee would come across and please explain the reason underneath.
3. Please describe the sensation issue of Mrs Lee and explain the type/mode of injury resulting in present condition.

please describe more details of Q2,3 thx a lot

You are a physiologist on a space flight to a distant planet. You discover intelligent humanoid aliens inhabiting the planet and they willingly submit to your tests. You discover that the alien's kidneys handle substance X just like human kidneys handle inulin. You also test the alien for its renal handling of substance Y. The data from that experiment are: Plasma substance X concentration: 5 g/100ml; Plasma substance Y concentration: 2 g/100ml; 24 hour urine: 2 liters, containing 150 g substance X and 100 g substance Y. 1) What is the alien's glomerular filtration rate (GFR)? 2) What is the alien's urine clearance rate for substance Y? 3) Assuming substance Y is 100% filtered in the alien’s kidney glomerulus, is there a net reabsorption or net secretion of substance Y in its renal tubules?.

Unfortunately, many tobacco smokers diagnosed with cancer do not stop smoking, which increases their risk of mortality. A randomized controlled trial was performed to determine if extended use of varenicline should be used to treat tobacco use among cancer patients. Varenicline is a prescription medication used to treat nicotine addiction.

Using data from the following table, answer the questions that follow. Be careful…the primary outcome is a beneficial thing (smoking abstinence at 24 weeks).
