Federal housing choice vouchers ($19 billion in 2015) and food stamps ($74 billion in 2014) are two of the largest in-kind transfer programs for the poor. Many poor people are eligible for both programs: 30% of housing assistance recipients also used food stamps, and 38% of food stamp participants also received housing assistance (Harkness and Newman, 2003). Suppose Jill's income is $500 a month, which she spends on food and housing. The price of food and of housing is each $1 per unit. Draw her budget line. If she receives $150 in food stamps and $50 in a housing subsidy (which she can only spend on housing), how do her budget line and opportunity set change? 1.) Use the line drawing tool to draw Jill's budget line without food stamps and federal housing support. Label this line 'L1.
2.) Using the multipoint curved line drawing tool to draw Jill's budget line with $150 in food stamps and a $50 housing subsidy. Label this line 'L2. Carefully follow the instructions above, and only draw the required objects.
*Please answer question 1 and 2 as stated in this post. Thank You !!

CASE STUDY PARKINSON’S DISEASE
Miss Rose is a 74 year old female, who is a retired widow and lives with her son for the past five years. Both enjoy planting seedlings and own a community agriculture store. She does not suffer with hypertension or diabetes and has an active lifestyle. She is also not known to have any psychiatric illnesses. Over the past six months Miss Rose’s son and herself noticed physical changes and decided to visit her General Practitioner. At her visit she mentioned to the doctor that she was having difficulty rising up from a sitting position after grooming her plants or turning from one table to another when she has customers. Documentation on her clinic file noted that she previously complained of difficulty walking and falling when coming out of bed. She was sent for an X-ray but there were no clinical findings. The physician asked her to describe what happened when she fell. Miss Rose verbalized that when she got up from bed and starting walking she started moving forward and backward then stooped forward with small fast steps and then she fell. Her son mentioned to the doctor that he has noticed that when she is pruning her plants she has abnormal rhythmic movement of the upper and lower limbs. She occasionally has a slight limp and her handwriting has become smaller over the past months. This has stopped her from doing her daily yoga exercises and she has been very disturbed about it. Miss Rose then further explained that the movement started on the distal part of both upper limbs at the same time. She also expressed that during rest she noticed the movement in her limbs and as she started her tasks the movements became more aggravated. Urinary incontinence is also a problem for Miss Rose and she is having difficulty in her swift movements to her bathroom. The patient was later diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. After the assessment and interview of Miss Rose the Physician documented the following: Physical Assessment Vital Signs: BP- 130/74 mmHg Temperature - 36.7 C, Pulse- 78 bpm regular and bounding Respiration- 20 bpm Height- 5ft 7 in Weight- 70 kg Facial expression- Masklike Gait- Shuffling gait with tendency to fall forward and backward CNS Examination Alert and oriented to time, person and place Level of consciousness GCS- 15/15 Sleeping patterns- normal Swallowing gag reflex- normal Cogwheel rigidity present Tremor present Bradykinesia present Dysphonia present

Brenda, a 74-year-old woman with a history of rheumatic fever while in her twenties, presented to her physician with complaints of increasing shortness of breath ("dyspnea") upon exertion. She also noted that the typical swelling she's had in her ankles for years has started to get worse over the past two months, making it especially difficult to get her shoes on toward the end of the day. In the past week, she's had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting, and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.On physical examination, Brenda's jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra, "S3" heart sound. A chest X-ray reveals a normal cardiac silhouette that is normal in diameter, but her physical examination reveals hepatomegaly and ascites, as well as pitting edema in her ankles. She is advised to wear support stockings and given a prescription for digoxin. Two weeks later she returns to the office for a follow-up visit; upon physical examination, she still has significant hepatomegaly and pitting edema, and is significantly hypertensive (i.e. she has high blood pressure). Her physician prescribes a diuretic called furosemide (or "Lasix").
1. What is the general diagnosis for Brenda’s condition? What would the diagnosis be if there were pulmonary edema instead of systemic edema?
2. Why is Brenda started on digoxin? How does it work? State your answers in terms of chronotropism and inotropism, the Na+/K+ ATPase, cytoplasmic Ca++ concentrations, and the proteins in a cardiomyocyte’s sarcomere.
3. What happened to Brenda in the two weeks before her follow-up visit? In other words, how did her body begin to compensate for decreased stroke volume? Utilize cardiac output, sympathetic nervous system, vasoconstriction to “less vital” organs (including the kidney) the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone (R-A-A) axis, Angiotensin II, ADH, pre-load and after-load, the Frank-Starling law, and the actions of digoxin.
4. Why was she given Lasix medication, and how does it work?

In the past week, she's had a decreased appetite, some nausea and vomiting, and tenderness in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen.On physical examination, Emma's jugular veins were noticeably distended. Auscultation of the heart revealed a low-pitched, rumbling systolic murmur, heard best over the left upper sternal border. In addition, she had an extra, "S3" heart sound.

Her physician prescribes a diuretic called furosemide (or "Lasix").
1. What is meant by the terms “hepatomegaly” and “ascites” and why are they happening? Why are her jugular veins distended? Be specific in terms of blood pressure and Starling forces.
2. What is pitting edema and what is causing it?
3. Why is she advised to wear support stockings? If she had atherosclerosis or blockage of a femoral artery, would this be an advisable diagnosis? Why or why not?
4. Is the stress being placed on Emma's heart pre-load or after-load and why?
