Document Summary

Medical anthro has had a critical role in recent years, historically anthro focus on non western cultures, this can help with illnesses in other countries because they don"t reflect the same model as western. Allows us to focus on individual as well not just group, we are active in the choices we make: defining treating an coping with disease. Illness and disease is culturally defined, not purly objective (blood count etc) but we recognize that it can be subjectively measured in how a culture measures illness. In biomedical we say you have this then take this medicine. Theses stresses can increase susceptibility to pathogens and change. Historical contingency: all these things in your past can play a role in the now: ie) nutrition, suceptability, etc. Anthro we are interested in who is included and excluded (behind the scenes) why are they excluded from the analysis, not just the majority that are notices.

What measures should be taken to reduce the transmission of these diseases during the peak season? Show Critical Thinking and examples to support your statements....

A teenage male had a history of colitis, most likely Crohnâs disease. He had difficulty controlling his disease with medical management and had been treated with parenteral nutrition and pain medication. He attends high school and is socially adjusted, even though his illness has caused him to be small in stature. He lives with his mother, who works for a veterinarian. The reason for this admission was abdominal discomfort and erythema at the exit site and along the tunnel of his central line. Blood cultures were collected, and both the blood cultures and his catheter tip cultures grew a catalase-positive, gram-positive cocci. The coagulase tube test was positive, but the slide and latex test for coagulase were negative

QUESTIONS

What further biochemical testing would you perform?

Because of the difficulties in expression of the mecA gene product in staphylococci, studies have been done to determine which antimicrobial agent best induces the microorganism to produce PBP2a. After extensive studies with many challenge strains, which antimicrobial agent was found to best predict the susceptibility or resistance to the penicillinase resistant penicillins?
