EPIDEMIOLOGY QUESTIONS

1.) Scenario: Substance A has an associated increased health risk of 20% and the increased risk associated with substance B is 15%. When studied together, the increased risk associated with being exposed to both substance A in conjunction with substance B is 70%.

Question:   Is the health risk associated with this combination of substances synergistic? (i.e., Does it demonstrate synergy?)

2.) In at least 10-12 sentences, please explain your answer to the previous question on synergy. Be sure to support your answer with relevant information. Be sure to define basic terms and explain the relevance of your finding. Also, illustrate your answer with an appropriate mathematical example using substance A and B based on the data provided in the previous question!

3.) In at least 12-15 sentences, please explain why it is not always possible for epidemiologists to use an experimental design such as the RCT to test a hypothesis about an exposure on humans. Also as part of this, please use at least one scholarly(peer reviewed) journal article to substantiate your views.

Case study

8-year old girl with recurrent infections caused by Streptococcus pyogenes and Hemophilus influenza was admitted to the hospital following a 5-day sinus infection. Her mother noted that she had developed a productive cough and high fever. Her white blood cell count was 3200/ul (normal count 5000-9000/ul). 25% percent of her white cells were neutrophils (very low), 40% were lymphocytes (normal), and 29% were monocytes (elevated, normal 2 to 8%). A serum test revealed that her IgG level was 35 mg/dl (normal 600-1500 mg/dl), IgA was undetectable (normal 150-225 mg/dl) and her IgM level was 210 mg/dl (normal 75-150 mg/dl). A flow cytometric analysis of her peripheral blood cells revealed that all of her B cells were IgM+, IgD+.

1. Explain the fact the all patient’s B cells were IgM+, IgD+.
