In December 2004, Mary Lazarro, a 41-year-old mother of two, was admitted to Finger Lakes Community Hospital because of numbness of the chin and lower lip. Two week prior to admission, she noted a prickling sensation like “pins and needles” at the right corner of her mouth. The sensation extended bilaterally to the lower lip and to her chin. Neurologic examination revealed only a superficial hypoesthesia of the chin and lower lip (numb chin syndrome). There was not clinical evidence of palpable regional lymph nodes or other systemic and neurologic abnormalities. X-rays and a CT scan revealed no abnormalities in the jaw, neck, or pharynx. The numbness and hypoesthesia spontaneously disappeared gradually over a few weeks time.

1) The chapter reviews the organization of the human nervous system. From this outline, describe the specific “part” of the nervous system that is affected.

2) Using what you know about the neuroanatomy of this affected region, describe what nerve is involved (hint: this is a complex nerve, so be specific regarding the part that is affected) a. ORIGIN : Where does the nerve originate from? b. COURSE: What is the course of this nerve (what structures does it pass by and/or through?) c. FUNCTION: What is the normal function of this nerve?

We are just getting into spring and summer will be here soon. We need to explore issues facing many of our patients at various times of the year. You may know someone who takes part in marathons or other physical events, or who is active in sports throughout the year. How about people who are working out year-round in warm gyms? Athletic and physically active patients may be children, adults, or senior citizens.

Let’s discuss the fluid and electrolyte shifts experienced by athletes performing outside during warmer weather. What fluid balance disorders might these athletes experienced over prolonged periods of physical activity in warm temperatures?

Solvability

Think about real-world examples of problems whose solutions do—and do not—scale well. Additionally, think about a problem that is so complex that there is no computational solution to feasibly solve the problem in a reasonable amount of time.

Complete a short written response to the following questions:

1. Identify two real-world examples of problems whose solutions do scale well.

2. Identify two real-world examples of problems whose solutions do not scale well.

3. Identify one problem that is so complex that there is no computational solution to feasibly solve the problem in a reasonable amount of time. NOTE: Wikipedia’s list of NP-complete problems (Links to an external site.) outlines many problems that are currently infeasible to solve computationally. As a general rule of thumb, any problem that can be solved by a human without a computer scales well. These include searching a sorted list or arithmetic calculations. Problems that are infeasible without a computer tend to scale poorly with input. These include sorting (think of massive amounts of database records) or, even more so, enumerating the next n moves in a Checkers game.

QUESTION 17

Which of the following facts regarding research is NOT true?

All research using humans is approved through an instructional review board (AKA, Human Subjects’ Committees).

Although controversial, animals can be used in research with approval of an Animal Subjects’ Committee.

Deception can be used in research as long as the participants are informed that deception may be used.

You can use humans for any purpose for any reason as long as the end justifies the means.

You should consider the case of a small to medium enterprise (SME) which may employ up to 200 people. There are different sections in the enterprise, such as accounting, sales, purchases, marketing, human resources, and general administration. The enterprise has a web site with general information about the company, e-commerce functions, to enable online orders to be placed and deposits to be taken, customer relationship management, including form-to-email facilities, and an online job quoting system. These applications and other enterprise software packages are available on the company’s intranet, which stores its (confidential) corporate data. All employees have a company email address, a personal login for access to the company’s intranet. There is a BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) policy implemented. The enterprise uses a cloud archiving service for all its corporate data.

  1. For each of the following arguments, identify the premise or premises and the conclusion.
    1. We know that some creatures lived and died off long before humans were around, because we have discovered the fossilize remains of plants and animals for which no human groups have records of living specimens.
    2. Even if the probability that any given star is orbited by a planet with life is incredibly small, it seems that there must be extraterrestrial life since there is an incredibly enormous number of stars that exist in the universe.
    3. If you want to do well for yourself you should be kind to others, because people repay favors.
    4. If you want to do well for yourself, you should be kind to others. I know you want to do well for yourself. So, you should be kind to others.
    5. If you can assign every item on one list to one item on a different list, so that every item on the second list has exactly one item assigned to it, there are the same number of items in each list. You can assign the number 2 to the number 1, the number 4 to the number 3, the number 6 to the number 5, and so on forever. There is the same number of odd and even numbers.

While unrealistic, we will examine the forces on a leg when one falls from a height by approximating the leg as a uniform cylinder of bone with a diameter of 2.3 cm and ignoring any shear forces. Human bone can be compressed with approximately 1.7 × 108 N/m2 before breaking. A man with a mass of 80 kg falls from a height of 4 m. Assume his acceleration once he hits the ground is constant. For these calculations, g = 10 m/s2.

Part A


What is his speed just before he hits the ground?


Part B


With how much force can the "leg" be compressed before breaking?


Part C


If he lands "stiff legged" and his shoes only compress 1 cm, what is the magnitude of the average force he experiences as he slows to a rest?


Part D


If he bends his legs as he lands, he can increase the distance over which he slows down to 50 cm. What would be the average force he experiences in this scenario?


Part E


Dyne is also a unit of force and 1 Dyn = 10−5 N. What is the maximum a bone can be compressed in Dyn/cm2?
