Document Summary

Timing and development: this terrible famine had a specific course, therefore, the effects of various levels of caloric restriction can be studied. In some ways, it is like a naturalistic experiment because the differential interaction of critical periods and caloric deficit can be examined. What were the immediate effects: had a profound effect on the health of the general population, mortality increased 2x over 1939, extra death rate due o starvation, however, women were still conceiving and giving birth to babies. It is in these babies that we can see the effect of early malnutrition on health in adult life. Prenatal exposure to famine www. notesolution. com: all babies (no twins) born between nov. 1, 1943 and feb. 28th, 1947 were eligible for inclusion in the study, of the total cohort 1018 people living close to or in amsterdam were approached. 741 consented to undertake glucose resistance testing: average age was 50.

The early-life intestinal microbiota plays a key role in shaping host immune system development. We found that a single early-life antibiotic course (1PAT) accelerated type 1 diabetes (T1D) development in male NOD mice. The single course had deep and persistent effects on the intestinal microbiome, leading to altered cecal, hepatic, and serum metabolites. The exposure elicited sex-specific effects on chromatin states in the ileum and liver and perturbed ileal gene expression, altering normal maturational patterns. The global signature changes included specific genes controlling both innate and adaptive immunity. Microbiome analysis revealed four taxa each that potentially protect against or accelerate T1D onset, that were linked in a network model to specific differences in ileal gene expression. This simplified animal model reveals multiple potential pathways to understand pathogenesis by which early-life gut microbiome perturbations alter a global suite of intestinal responses, contributing to the accelerated and enhanced T1D development.

A prospective cohort study was conducted to determine the risk of heart attack among men with varying levels of baldness. Third-year residents in dermatology conducted visual baldness assessments at the start of the study (which was before any heart attacks had occurred). Four levels of baldness were coded: none, minimal, moderate, and severe. The follow-up rate for this study was 100%. Which of the following types of bias were avoided in this study? (Choose all that apply)

a. Recall bias of the exposure information.

b. Differential misclassification of the exposure.

c. Non-differential misclassification of the exposure.

d. Selection bias due to follow up.

2. A case-control study was conducted to determine if using any antihistamines around the time of conception increased the risk of birth defects in the offspring. No personal interviews were conducted regarding the subjects’ antihistamine use. Instead, women were considered exposed if computerized pharmacy records from their health maintenance organization indicated that they had filled at least one prescription for antihistamines within 500 days before the birth of the child.

a)For which type of information bias is this data collection method susceptible?

b)Which type of information bias is this data collection method least susceptible to?

In August and December of 1998, a researcher collected behavioraldata by observing the hippo population(consisting of one adultmale, one adult female, and one subadult female) of the Toledo Zoo.The purpose of the study was to determine the effect of enclosuredifferences on the behavior of the hippos. During the Agust datacollection period, the hippos were observed in a large,naturalistic outdoor enclosure called a hippoquarium. Data werecollected during public veiwing hours (10:00AM-6:00PM). The hipposwere fed daily st 6:30PM, off exhibit. Thus, feeding behaviorsduring periods of data collection were rarely observed.Animal/keeper interactions were rare when the animals were housedoutdoors. During the December observations, the hippos were housedindoors in small, barren enclosure consisting of concrete walls anda small pool. Indoor data were collected during public veiwinghours (10AM-5:00PM) and the hippos were fed daily at 11:00AM.Consequently, feeding behaviors were observed daily. In addition,interactions with keepers were about 10 times more frequent whenthe animals were housed indoors than outdoors.

Question: Are there any confounding variables? If so, which ones?
