Find the present value of receiving $1000 per year for ten years beginning in year 12 until year 21, assuming an interest rate of 9%.

Case Study 4:

You are an RN and work in a community mental health clinic in Sydney. The clinic you work in primarily specialises in adolescent mental health and receives many referrals from the justice system of mentally ill, troubled or disordered minors who have gotten in trouble with the law. As part of their court orders they are usually required to undergo professional treatment and counselling. You are part of the multidisciplinary team which delivers this care.

As part of the multi-disciplinary team, you work along side a social worker, Justin. Justin’s primary role within the health clinic is to work with teenagers who do not have a diagnosed psychiatric disorder but who come from troubled backgrounds, usually involving trauma, family breakdown and abuse. Justin’s role is to develop strategies of re-integrating individual troubled youths back into their own social networks, schools and employment while establishing support networks, behaviour management strategies and education and career prospects. Justin is widely known for his skill in this field, has been the recipient of many awards and scholarships in his field, is highly regarded in the justice system and has demonstrated positive outcomes where other specialists have been unable to. He is often referred overly complex cases due to his skill in this area.

At many work social functions you have gotten to know Justin’s wife Sarah. Sarah is a linguist who teaches languages in private tuition, though mostly she is a stay at home mum. You have developed a nice friendship with Sarah though she always remains reserved. At the work Christmas party, you see that Sarah has arrived, so you start talking to her. Sarah confides in you that wants to separate from Justin but she is scared to as he is aggressive and violent, and she is afraid of the damage it will do to their two children – a six-year-old and a ten-year-old. Sarah tells you that Justin often hits the boys when he is angry, particularly the ten-year-old who Justin has recently punched in the face.

You mention to Sarah how concerned you are for her safety and suggest that she go to the police for support. Sarah tells you that she cannot go to the police, because if Justin’s abuse is reported he will no longer be able to work with children and young people, he will lose his credibility with the justice system and he will most likely lose his job. She is relying on Justin’s job to provide child support money so that she can afford to look after the children when she leaves him. If Justin loses his income, then Sarah won’t be able to afford to separate from him and she and her children will be required to stay with him. Sarah begs you not to tell anyone, and says that she has told you this in confidence. Sarah tells you she doesn’t want anyone else to find out, as she doesn’t want the information to get back to Justin and for him to find out that she is planning on leaving him until she knows she can leave safely without fear of being hit.

The next time you see Sarah is later that week at the supermarket. She has bruising to her throat and neck which she is trying to hide with a scarf, and their ten-year-old child has bruising to his nose and around his eye.

Bacterial Quorum Sensing and Microbial Community Interactions

ABSTRACT

Many bacteria use a cell-cell communication system called quorum sensing to coordinate population density-dependent changes in behavior. Quorum sensing involves the production of and response to diffusible or secreted signals, which can vary substantially across different types of bacteria. In many species, quorum sensing modulates virulence functions and is important for pathogenesis. Over the past half-century, there has been a significant accumulation of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms, signal structures, gene regulons, and behavioral responses associated with quorum-sensing systems in diverse bacteria. More recent studies have focused on understanding quorum sensing in the context of bacterial sociality. Studies of the role of quorum sensing in cooperative and competitive microbial interactions have revealed how quorum sensing coordinates interactions both within a species and between species. Such studies of quorum sensing as a social behavior have relied on the development of “synthetic ecological” models that use nonclonal bacterial populations. In this review, we discuss some of these models and recent advances in understanding how microbes might interact with one another using quorum sensing. The knowledge gained from these lines of investigation has the potential to guide studies of microbial sociality in natural settings and the design of new medicines and therapies to treat bacterial infections.

Sarah, a forty-nine-year-old Anglo woman, visits her physician complaining of weight loss, sweating, listlessness, and flu-like symptoms (fever, headache, scratchy throat, generalized body ache). After checking her history the physician notes that Sarah is married, has four children, and no previous history of chronic illness. Her weight has decreased 15 pounds over the past three months and she presents with a temperature of 101 degrees F, a slightly elevated pulse (85 beats per minute), normal blood pressure (112/78 mm Hg), and slightly labored breathing. Sarah has a negative family history of cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. All of her family members are living and are free of cardiovascular or respiratory diseases. Sarah does not smoke and is current on all immunizations. She does report that she developed these symptoms a few days after visiting a friend whose son was home with a cold. After a chest X-ray and physical examination of Sarah’s ear, nose, and throat, the physician confirms the diagnosis and prescribes bed rest, aspirin, and a nasal decongestant. The physician also cautions Sarah from returning to her normal activities until she has been afebrile for a minimum of 24 hours. Sarah’s condition continues to worsen such that a week later she returns to her physician’s office. She has pain on the left side of her chest, is coughing more frequently and her sputum has a yellow color. Her respiratory rate is 32 breaths per minute and her breathing is labored. Her blood pressure is unchanged and does not demonstrate postural changes. Breath sounds indicate inspiratory rales and a chest X-ray indicates a dense infiltrate within the lungs. Physical examination reveals lymphadenopathy. The physician suspects pneumonia and orders laboratory tests on Sarah’s blood and sputum. The results of the sputum tests indicate the presence of gram-positive diplococci and polymorphonucleocytes that are too numerous to count. What concerns the physician, however, are the results of Sarah’s blood test. Her blood tests indicate leukopenia, anemia, and thrombocytopenia. In addition, the differential leukocyte count indicates that the concentration of helper T cells has decreased. The physician now suspects that Sarah has been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and that she has developed pneumonia as a result of the immune suppression. In reviewing her history, the physician notes that Sarah has been married for the past 30 years and does not admit to any extramarital affairs. She has not received any blood transfusions or blood products and does not use intravenous drugs. She is a self-employed certified public accountant and has not visited any countries with high incidences of HIV infection. Upon further discussion, Sarah does mention to the physician that she and her husband were separated a few years ago for approximately 6 months as a result of his extramarital affair. The physician asks Sarah if he can run another test to determine whether or not she has contacted HIV and asks Sarah to talk to her husband about being tested for HIV as well. The physician also begins treating Sarah for pneumonia that has developed and asks her to return the next day for the results of the HIV test.
The next day Sarah and her husband return to the physician’s office and the physician confirms that the enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay confirms that Sarah is HIV positive. The physician does mention that a second more sensitive test will be conducted to confirm this finding, however, he is doubtful that the result will indicate a false positive in the first test. Her husband admits to having numerous extramarital affairs with both women and men and consents to a blood test to determine his HIV status, which subsequently is positive. The physician then discusses the replicative cycle of HIV, the concept of a retrovirus, and treatment options with both Sarah and her husband. Sarah immediately starts on a regimen of protease inhibitors and nucleoside analogs (azidothymidine, AZT, and ddI). In addition, the physician discusses with Sarah and her husband the necessity of practicing "safe sex" even though both are HIV positive and the importance of not exposing themselves to opportunistic diseases. In addition, he mentions that some of the drugs they will be taking to minimize viral replication may cause nausea. He cautions them to take all medications as scheduled and to return to his office at the first sign of any disorder. He also reiterates that this disease can not be transferred by casual contact, but can be transferred through an exchange of body fluids (blood, semen, and vaginal secretions). Answer the following questions about this case.

1. Why was HIV not initially considered as a possible cause for the symptoms Sarah presented with?
2. Why did Sarah’s symptoms worsen and develop into pneumonia?
3. Identify the specific types of leukocytes and the function of each cell.
4. Why does HIV specifically affect one type of leukocyte?
5. Why can protease inhibitors and nucleoside analogs be used in minimizing the replication of the HIV virus?
