While volunteering at an assisted living facility, you are asked to participate in the care of an 82 year-old female resident with limited mobility. When you are first introduced to Gladius Claymore, you notice she often rubs and taps at the side of her left hip, but still greets you with a welcoming smile. Gladius often spoke of experiencing shooting pain, numbness, and weakness on her lower back, the posterior side of her left buttocks, and her posterior lower limb. She first started experiencing these symptoms ever since she suffered a bad fall a few months back. “The doctor said I had a ‘slipped disc’ in my waist” she tells you “But I don’t get why it would make my thigh hurt!” You help Gladius make it to her physical therapy appointment and spend some time chatting with her clinician. When the clinician finds out you are taking a human anatomy class she begins to quiz you about some of the anatomy related to Gladius presentations and complications that might be associated with it. Gladius has a good time quizzing you too (and telling to when you’re wrong) and wishes you luck on your upcoming exam.          

Goal: Using the description above, describe the most likely diagnosis for Gladius’s presentation (should include anatomical terms), and compared it with an in-depth discussion of the normal, healthy anatomy (hint: should include tissue types found in the bone and joints in the vertebral column). Next, describe the common causes of this presentation, especially in someone of Gladius’ demographic group. Gladius’s presentation may cause impingement on components of the central and/or peripheral nervous system, describe those components using correct anatomical terminology. Describe the layers and spaces surrounding the spinal cord. Lastly, how might someone like you get involved with Gladius and brighten her day.           

In terms of Medical Anthropology :)

1. describe two ways/cases(with refs) in which social and cultural context  influence the measurement of disease?

In detail explain:

-Ferrous vs Ferric in the blood definition, it's conversion, and where it is converted (include the whole process)

Mr. Q is a 28 year old Olympic freestyle wrestler'who recently finished second in a state level
competition. He stated he was leading until the final I minute of his 5 minute match when he was
taken down by the eventual winner. He is interested in improving his ability to quickly tackle and
lift his opponents and to avoid becoming excessively fatigued during the final minutes ofhis match.
His next competition is in 3 months. He has no injuries or medical history that would limit his
ability to participate in a training program.

e) You would like to prescribe Mr Q an exercise program to improve his anaerobic cardiovascular
fitness to prevent the onset of fatigue during his wrestling matches.

1. List one (1) test you would perform to assess his anaerobic fitness and justify your
selection. (2 mark)
2. What type of training program would you recommend to improve his anaerobic
cardiovascular fitness? Please justify your selection.
3. Mr Q has informed you he has less than 30 minutes per day for additional training.
Based on your answer in part B of this question, outline a training program that he
can perform independently.

4. What adaptation is responsible for improvements in anaerobic cardiovascular
endurance and Mr Q's ability to work at higher intensities? (1 mark)

The structure that controls the amount of light entering the eye is the ________, whereas the structure that controls the shape of the lens to focus that light is the _________.

The tiny middle ear muscles that dampen movement of the ossicles are skeletal muscle, however, their actions are not under voluntary control. This is because _______.

1. they are controlled directly by sounds, and not the nervous system
2. they are controlled by the autonomic nervous system, which is automatic.
3. they are controlled by somatic reflex loops that are activated by very loud sounds.
4. they are controlled by the ossicles in a positive feedback manner

• What is cardiovascular/heart disease? What are the major causes? What are some of the treatment options for Cardiovascular disease?

3. Ornish suggested that many of the problems linked to cardiovascular disease could be related to the diet that we consume. Your task is the following: Find an article/website that gives you a diet which claims to help reduce the risks for cardiovascular/heart disease.

• Post the link and then give us a summary of the article/website that you found.

4. Do you believe that there is currently enough public education on the topic of cardiovascular disease? In your lifetime, do you feel like you have been exposed to enough educational material to know what the risks are in your own life?
