Scraped Knee and Loss of a Leg?

Arjun is an active 15-year-old high school student; he plays soccer, runs track, and volunteers at his local food bank every week. A couple of days ago, while skateboarding, he scraped his knee pretty badly. He didnât tell his mom because he knew that she would lecture him about being careful, and he was worried that she wouldnât let him go back to the skate park. He washed his knee with soap and water well when he got home and didnât think more about it.

The next morning, Arjunâs knee is stiff, swollen, and quite red. He washes it again when he takes a shower, and then he heads to school. Later in the afternoon, Arjun realizes that his knee is really sore, and he feels hot. He shows up for soccer practice, but his coach tells him that because he has a fever, he should go home and have his mom take him to the doctor to look at his knee.

The doctor examines Arjunâs knee and tells him that the wound is infected. The doctor is concerned by the rapid progression of the infection and Arjunâs fever. He admits Arjun to the hospital and orders an intravenous course of antibiotics. After two days of treatment, his knee actually looks worse; the infection is spreading to surrounding tissues. Arjunâs mom is very worried and anxious for the doctor to visit in the afternoon.

1.What do you think? Is there cause for Arjunâs mom to be worried?

2.What potential virulence factors may be associated with the microbes causing Arjunâs infection? Specifically what types of microbe (Gram + or Gram -) leads to fever?

3.Could there be any potential complications arising from infection with these microbes? Please explain.

Ryan is a cross-country athlete running for one of the top collegiate teams in the country. He is a sophomore in college and is living in an apartment with two other runners on the team. He lived in a dorm as a freshman and decided on a more vegetarian style of eating last year because his roommate was vegetarian. A variety of vegetarian dishes that he liked were available in the dorm cafeteria, and he found cafeteria dining to be convenient after long practices. Ryan is 5â²8â³ and weighs around 135 pounds. He trains hard daily for 1 to 2 hours at the track or on the road, and lifts weights twice a week with the team. He eats some dairy, mainly yogurt, soy milk, and occasionally eggs. He eats no meat or fish, but he does consume some beans, legumes, and frozen veggie burgers. Grocery shopping, meal planning, and vegetarian cooking are all new to Ryan, and therefore he schedules an appointment with the athletic department's sports nutritionist for guidance with eating vegetarian style in his apartment. 1. What nutrients would you be most concerned about being insufficient in Ryan's daily diet? 2. What questions should you ask about his typical food intake to help you determine a nutrition plan for Ryan? 3. What recommendations and education would be appropriate for Ryan to help him improve his vegetarian nutrition for sport performance?
