Emergency Department Course: Manuel was driven to the emergency room by his parents. On arrival, he appeared very confused, though not agitated. With his encephalopathic picture, we were most worried about psychotropic drug abuse or infection. A normal urine drug screen and a CBC with an elevated WBC count were suspicious for infection. Because encephalitis and meningitis were the main concerns, we performed a lumbar puncture. The opening pressure was consistent with elevated intracranial pressure. The CSF showed an elevated WBC count. The culture is pending. Shortly after his lumbar puncture, Manuel had a tonic-clonic seizure. We treated him with an anticonvulsant and the seizure stopped. The electroencephalogram showed paroxysmal lateral epileptiform discharges (PLEDs), which are characteristic of herpes encephalitis. The pediatric team was called, and they admitted him to the PICU.

The construction of phylogenetic trees is a mapping out the proposed divisions and common ancestors of all living species. traditionally, these trees have been built using morphological data, such as appearance and embryology. recently, it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data. phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each: that there is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent. this phylogenic tree is composed based on molecular data (rrna). what statements can we infer are true about the organisms throughout the tree? because the tree is rooted, all branches share a common ancestor. all organisms have some sort of cellular structure/organization. all eukaryotes evolved from bacteria. since the organisms contain rna, they share the same dna. if the organisms contain rna, the share the same four nitrogen bases.

Protein synthesis actually begins in the nucleus when transcribes a single gene on the dna molecule is copied. the process of copying this gene is called this copy is known as and contains the protein building instructions. this copy is sent out into the cytoplasm to the part of the cell known as the the of the ribosome will join together to form a functional ribosome when they attach to the mrna. as the mrna moves through the ribosome, the message is read by transfer rna brings the correct back to the ribosome. the amino acids are placed in the correct order and are hitched together by

Which of the following describes a negative feedback loop? when the heart rate is too high, the body sends hormones that continually increase the heart rate higher. when a pregnant woman is in labor, the body sends hormones that increase the intensity of contractions, which then increases the secretion of the same hormones. when blood sugar is too low, the body sends hormones that raise blood sugar until it reaches a typical level and hormone secretion slows. when a person is jogging, the body sends hormones that continually decrease the rate of oxygen supply to the legs.
