A 12-year-old boy presents to the ER complaining of right testicular pain. Symptoms began 1 hour ago. He describes the pain as a

10/10 stabbing sensation radiating from the right testicle to the right groin. He also complains of 3 episodes of emesis and intermittent nausea. A bedside testicular ultrasound is performed which shows decreased blood flow to the right testicle. What is the most sensitive physical exam finding associated with this pathology?

Answer: The pathology described in the question is "testicular torsion".

The most sensitive physical exam that is specific to this pathology is testing for reflexes. The inner thigh of the affected side when rubbed should cause the testicle to contract; but in this pathology, it does not.

Explanation:

Testicular torsion is a condition caused by the twisting of the spermatic cord, which causes a loss of blood flow to the testicle. It is the leading cause of testicular loss in adolescent boys, if no surgical intervenvention is carried out as soon as possible.

A scan of Sam's genome for the 100 most common mutations known to cause RP didn't find anything. How can you explain this result
yan [13]

Answer:

He is either not carrying the gene for RP or the RP gene has mutated.

Explanation:

RP or Retina Pigmentosa is an eye defect inherited by a person from a parent. The disease is degenerative as the individual gradually loses his sight. It normally starts off as night-blindness and could go as bad as a total loss of sight.

The mutation of both the RPGR and RP2 genes which are responsible for the function and structure of light-reception in the eye accounts for most cases of Retina Pigmentosa disease.

A personal trainer thinks her clients get better workouts and are stronger if they listen to music while working out. Over the n
katrin [286]

Answer:

The correct answer is: the group of 10 people that lifted the barbell with music is the control group.

Explanation:

The personal trainer made an experiment to test her hypothesis. When experiments are being made, is common to have a control group and an experimental group.

The control group is the one that is subjected to the usual conditions, the group that shows what normally happens. The experimental group is the opposite, this group is observed while it goes through an unusual condition that may impact how they perform in the task observed.

<u>The personal trainer thinks that playing music for her clients is of benefit to them, so we can assume that she always plays music during the workouts, which means that the control group is the one that is listening to music while lifting a barbell</u>. The group that worked out without music is the experimental group because they were the ones that performed that activity with a change in their normal environment.

In the first part of the dna isolation, you discarded the supernatant and kept the cells. however, after processing the sample w
pishuonlain [190]
<span>For the first step, you must isolate the cells from the media. The cells contain the DNA so you keep the cells and pellet. The next step would be a cell lysis which causes the cells to open and the DNA to come out. At this point you would keep the supernatant, as the pellet is the cell membrane and other parts of the cell. The chelex is to bind to transition metal ions. This would cause and DNases in the cell to become inactive because the metal ion is their cofactor. The pellet in this case would contain the chelex and the DNA would still be in the supernatant.</span>
