Suppose that you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (TB) in St. Petersburg on January 1st, 2018. You enrolled 200 residents

in your study and checked on their TB status on a monthly basis. At the start of your study on January 1st, you screened all 200 residents. Upon screening, you found that 10 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 10 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1st. On February 1st, two residents developed TB. On April 1st, three more residents developed TB. On July 1st, three of the residents who had existing TB on January 1st died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2018. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up.
What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st?

Answer:  5%

Explanation:

The Prevalence rate is the term used to describe the percentage of a population that have contacted the disease being tested for. It is usually done over a certain period or a certain time.

The prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st therefore is;

= Number of infected/ No. of Tested residents

= 10/200

= 5%

lapo4ka [179]

Answer & Explanation:

All archeas are single-celled organisms, and despite having prokaryotic cells, there are both similarities and differences between archaea and bacterial cells and also with eukaryotes.

Archaea have only one cell that has no nucleus or real organelles, and its cells have membranes composed of branched lipids, which greatly alter the structure of the archaeal cell membranes. In addition, the archaea have only one DNA strand (uniqueness).

Animal cells differ from archeas because they are multicellular (organisms with several cells), each one having a nucleus, and they also have specialized organelles.

In addition, animal cells have compounds called phospholipids in their membranes, which are unbranched lipids, and therefore do not cause major changes in the structures of their cells. Finally, animal cells have double-stranded DNA (complementary duplication).

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A) chordate.

B) echinoderm.

C) nematode.

D) mollusc.

Answer:

A) chordate.

Explanation:

The animals can be distinguished based on embryonic development and are categorized into two types: Deutrostomes and the protostomes.

The deuterostomes are the organism in which the small opening in the embryo called the blastopore develops into the anus. The deuterostomes organism belongs to two groups of the animal: the echinoderms and the chordates.

The chordates are the animals which possess the bilateral symmetry that is can be divided into left and right sides and posses true cavity or coelom.

Thus, Option-A is correct.

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

1. Cartilaginous joints

2. Freely movable (Synovial) joints

3. Temporomandibular joint

4. Arthritis

5. Synchondrosis

Explanation:

1. Cartilaginous joints are those who permits some movements but provide less stability that immovable joint, these joints are slightly movable.

2. Freely movable joints are synovial joints. These joints have a joint cavity between connecting bones, and allow for greater mobility. However, they are less stable than fibrous and cartilaginous joints. For example: elbow.

3. Temporomandibular joint is a like a hinge and a ball and socket joint at the same time. It is a simple hinge that permits to chew.

4. Arthritis is a term that describes inflammation in joints. Some of them include: rheumotaoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, etc.

5. Synchondrosis is a joint in which the articulating surfaces are close together but are bound by a hyaline cartilage, which can converts to either bone o fibrocartilage.
