Course talk:PATH417/Case 4/Group 1

Hey, so I have no preference about lymphatics. Whatever the group decides. Walden are you going to do the references in wiki format. If you need help knowing where the references came from (i.e. student #) for question 2 let me know! Unless Desmond has already fixed that.

Looks like Walden you have done the references for question 2. I just read through what was on the wiki page and made minor format changes. One thing I noticed is the figure labels we need to be consistent with numbering and having a description. Not sure how we should count figures in thumbnail format.

Yup, Walden did an excellent job with the references in Question 2. Thanks for the format changes Alysha!

I'll fix up the figure numbers and I've also changed the double repetition about endothelial cells by shortening the initial description in "vascular system", moving details and merging it into the separate section, and deleting the rest of the repeats. Hope this resolves this problem :D

Also for Question 1, we need to talk about the key history and lab findings. I've posted my section on there but the references are in simple APA style again. Walden, could you wiki-style them please? Thanks!

Yup

KK i added neil's part and did Desmond's references. Do we still need to fix Q1?

Hi everyone! The most efficient way I've noticed within the other cases is if we all picked a question (having to double up as we have 5 people) and used the group's papers to complete it. What does everyone think? Nancy

Ok I agree. I can do the fourth question!

Hey everyone. I think the first question doesn't even count as a section. We just need to have a consensus on what we want to report like fever as or sign or symptom. I don't mind doing the second question however someone else will likely have to be one it as well. Also about secondary site of infection I think we should see what Dr. Kelly says in regards to it. Its hard to figure when to consider it a secondary site of infection since the bloodstream can take it all over the body. The paper I reported said it can invade deeper into the blood vessels affecting smooth muscle cells (of blood vessels and organs) so I took that as secondary site of infection.

I can do the third question

Oh you're right Alysha, Number one is pretty standard, meaning there's only 3 questions, and 5 people. Maybe we should all just work on all of them together (in order to make sure we all do a fair amount)? I started a google doc if you guys want to do this: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-TDAlnqcZCHqAKXZ6-riA4g4uajSsoeS8mjHQMSys-g/edit?usp=sharing

As for secondary sites, I had organized it as blood vessels and vascular smooth muscle was primary, and that the effects on other body parts due to the systemic infection was secondary (though not really infected, but affected). Yeah, we should wait to see what the feedback says!

Yeah I debated with that question a lot so it will be interesting what Dr. Kelly response is. I think we can start working on consolidating the information and then see what Dr. Kelly has as comments for everyone's assignments and then maybe have to add more information in.

Yup I agree with all the information Nancy said for the secondary sites of infection. As for the mechanism how in depth should it be, as I noticed for our responses it wasn't really into the molecular biology cause that would be covered in another group's question (3).
