Mr. and Mrs. John Takahama, a young couple who had been trying unsuccessfully to have a family for years, underwent a series of tests with a fertility clinic to try to determine the problem. Mr. Takahama was found to have a normal sperm count, and the sperm morphology and motility were normal. Mrs. Takahama's history sheet revealed that she had two episodes of PID during her early 20s, and the time span between successive menses ranged from 21 to 30 days. She claimed that her family was "badgering" her about not giving them grandchildren and that she was frequently despondent. A battery of hormonal tests was ordered, and Mrs. Takahama was asked to perform a cervical mucus test and daily basal temperature recordings. Additionally, gas was blown through her uterine tubes to determine their patency. Her tubes proved to be closed and she was determined to be anovulatory. (1) If Mr.Takahama count had been low, what type of information should be collected to determine the cause of the low count? (2) What do you suggest might have caused the closing of her tubes? Which of the tests done or ordered would have revealed her anovulatory condition? What is PID? What would cause this condition?

Sperm can survive in the female reproductive system for six days, but they need to have 10 hours after ejaculation to undergo capacitation. Ovulation typically occurs on day 14 of a woman's menstrual cycle. An ovulated egg can survive only up to 24 hours if it is not fertilized. Given this information, what days of a woman's sexual cycle would be a window of opportunity for an egg to be fertilized?

Mary, the director of nursing at a regional blood bank, is concerned about the declining number of blood donors. It’s May, and Mary knows that the approaching summer will mean increased demands for blood and decreased supplies, especially of rare blood types. She is excited, therefore, when a large corporation offers to host a series of blood drives at all of its locations, beginning at corporate headquarters. Soon after Mary and her staff arrive at the corporate site, Mary hears a disturbance. Apparently, a nurse named Peggy was drawing blood from a male donor with a very rare blood type when the donor fondled her breast. Peggy jumped back and began to cry. Joe, a male colleague, sprang to Peggy’s defense and told the donor to leave the premises. To Mary’s horror, the male donor was a senior manager with the corporation.
- What is the ethical dilemma in this case?
- What values are in conflict?
- How should Mary deal with Peggy, Joe, the donor, and representatives of the corporation?

Of the following answers, which correctly describes why herd immunity against SARS-CoV-2 would result in reduced transmission of the virus?
a.) the virus can infect individuals with immunity, but the immune system would ignore the virus, so no symptoms would occur
b.) the virus is unable to enter and infect individuals who have immunity
c.) individuals with immunity would have a rapid and effective humoral immune response against the virus which would prevent the virus from replicating and shedding
d.) individuals with immunity would have a stronger innate immune response against SARS-CoV-2 so macrophages would recognize and destroy the virus quicker
