I need help coming up with my introduction for my bioethics class paper. It’s a philosophical paper that must have a thesis and a road map of what the paper will address in the intro, I just don’t know the best way to go about it.

The Eye Exam It was a sunny day in 2005, and time for Eric’s annual eye exam. Dr. Tim flipped through his charts. “You know, we really should measure your visual fields. It’s been at least ten years since you had that done!” “I hate them!” Eric grumbled. “I get disoriented and, anyhow, we already know I have a large blind spot.” He raised his hand, squinting through one eye. “Here. I can’t see my finger here.” “I know.” Dr. Tim was sympathetic. “But weren’t you just telling me you haven’t seen stars for a while? It’s important. You had that tumor on your pituitary gland. Your optic nerves cross in that area, right in front of the pituitary, so if anything is happening again we’d probably notice it first by changes in your eyesight. It really is important!” An hour later, Eric was seated in front of a large white screen, staring intently at a light in the middle. “Keep looking at that light, so your eyes don’t move. If you see another light anywhere else, push this button.” Eric began the test by focusing on the light he saw in the center. The machine then successively displayed points of light of varying intensity in different places around the entire visual field. When Eric saw the peripheral light, he pushed a button. He did his best to detect the flashes, but realized he was probably missing some. The machine mapped out where he could see and where he could not. Dr. Tim looked at the printout. His face grew serious. “Eric, we have a problem. You have limited peripheral vision, and it’s bad enough that I don’t think you should be driving! This looks to me like something called retinitis pigmentosa. We should refer you to a specialist.” He pulled out more papers. “Here, look at this. Here are your visual fields. The numbers show how well you can see in that area of your eye, and in the graph on the right the darker the box is the less you can see. Now here are a normal person’s visual fields. Do you see the difference?”

1. How do your eyes work? What is the difference between focal vision and peripheral vision?

2. What is the anatomy around the pituitary gland? Why are the optic nerves likely to be affected by pituitary tumors?

3. Eric has retinitis pigmentosa In this disease pigments lining your eye gradually break down, so you can’t sense the light that hits your eye. Why do you need the pigments in order to see the images and light?

Microbiology Homework Help !!!

Dan was feeling terrible! He knew he should have worn more sunscreen on that trip to Haiti. Sitting on the plane waiting to be allowed off was torture! He was burning up and felt exhausted. And sitting still so long on the plane had made his ankles and shoulders start to ache too. If only they would let him off the plane! He was beginning to feel nauseous and hoped he didn’t vomit all over his fellow passengers. After they finally let him off the plane he rushed to the bathroom to put some cool water on his face and inspect this horrible sunburn. But it didn’t look normal in the mirror…. His skin was covered in red blotchy spots, especially his chest and all the way up his neck. Maybe he was allergic to something? Can allergies cause this heat (he assumed now it was a fever)? He had to go to the doctor, now. LA General was a short cab ride away. As the PA on duty you ask Dan a few questions before making some theories about what’s causing his symptoms. You discover he just got back from Haiti where he visited friends for 2 weeks. His doctor had given him enough doxycycline for the whole trip and he had taken it religiously. His vaccination history included immunizations to typhoid, hepatitis B and tetanus. He also took Bumex. His major complaints were joint pain, nausea, and the growing rash on his trunk. His fever was 101.8. But as you were talking with him you noticed his speech began to slur a bit. This was deeply concerning.

1. Please describe the acquired immune reaction that occurred in response to this infection. (make sure it is specific for this type of attack)
