The orthopaedic surgeon needs to carry out surgery on
a patient which involves the
removal of a failed intervertebral disc. Compare a spinal cage with
an intervertebral
implant and provide a recommendation for the surgeon as to which
one should be
inserted in to the patient.

1. A patient with OTC deficiency has recurrent hyperammonemic events over a 3-month period despite reduced protein intake and increased doses of sodium benzoate and sodium phenylacetate. What are the factors that need to be considered as a cause of the hyperammonemia in this individual? (Consider the dynamic of nitrogen balance over this period.) What is the likely treatment?

Investigate a disorder or disability that is genetically inherited, and write a two- to three-page paper on the genes involved, the inheritance pattern, and any genetic complexities discovered. By genetic complexities I mean, for example, is only one gene involved, or multiple genes? Are there environmental factors that play a role? Are there variations in the disorder? Are there related disorders found among carriers?
I suggest a good source for valid information would be an association set up for family members of those who have a disorder. You can also have a look at the Genetics Home Reference from the National Institutes of Health.
