Explanation & Answer
This is the aberration of the chromosomes which means missing or having extra chromosomal DNA; it is an irregularity in the portion of the chromosomal DNA. The abnormality can be detected either in the structure or by numbers of the chromosomes. Meiosis or Mitosis can trigger error in cell division resulting to chromosome anomalies or mutation.

Aveda Institute New York Personal Genetics Discussion
InstructionsFor this week’s discussion, you will begin learning about what personal genetics is, the advantages and disadvantages of knowing your genetic code, and the ethical implications of personal genetic research. The discussion includes two parts: an initial response that asks you to respond to five statements regarding personal genetics and a peer-review response that asks you to write a substantive commentary on your classmate's initial response. Read the following material:What is personal genetics? (Links to an external site.)Benefits and implications of learning about your DNA (Links to an external site.)OPTIONAL: Introduction to Personal Genetics VideoSubmit a written response (in complete sentences) to the following statements. For each of the 5 statements listed below, indicate whether you 1) agree, 2) strongly agree, 3) disagree, or 4) strongly disagree and explain why. If you are unsure about a statement, you can state so, but again, explain your choice.Respond to the following 5 statements:People should have the right to learn whatever they want about their DNA because it is their own body.I would only want to find out my likelihood of developing a disease if there are ways to prevent or treat it. Employers should use genetic information to make hiring or firing decisions about employees.I would want to know if someone I was dating had a strong genetic predisposition to a serious disease.Information from DNA testing of relatives should be available to compare to DNA sequences found at crime scenes, to help identify criminals. Peer Review Response After you make your initial post, you will be able to view the initial posts of classmates. Pick two statements from the a classmate's initial response and write a 2-3 sentence reply. The response should expand the conversation, even if you disagree with what your classmate wrote. You are welcome to agree or disagree with their opinion; however, respectfully offer counterpoints to their initial response.

HCC Anatomy and Physiology Case Study
Mr. Jones, a 58-year-old sales executive has arrived in Washington DC for a convention. He decides to go out with his colleagues and has a heavy dinner. He wakes up in the middle of the night with a dull ache in the center of his chest. He initially thinks, it is indigestion from the heavy meal that he had, but the chest pain gets worse and now starts radiating to the left shoulder, left jaw and left arm. He remembers seeing on TV, that what he is experiencing could be symptoms of a Myocardial infarction (heart attack). He immediately calls 911.
Once, the ambulance arrives, the EMT notices that Mr. Jones is sweating profusely and he is pale. The EMT immediately gives Mr. Jones, Aspirin, puts a oxygen mask and starts IV normal saline. If needed, other drugs can be given via the IV access.
As soon as Mr. Jones is brought to the Hospital, the ER nurse takes the vital signs and a brief history. An EKG is done and shows abnormalities, suggesting a MI. Blood is drawn to look for cardiac enzymes. Blood results are back and show elevated Troponin and Creatine Kinase, confirming that Mr. Jones is having a MI. His past medical history is significant for poorly controlled essential hypertension, poorly controlled Diabetes mellitus, Poorly controlled Hypercholesterolemia. His family history is unremarkable. He is a current smoker, has smoked 2 packs of cigarettes for the last 25 years and drinks beer on the weekends.
Vital signs
Complete blood count
Cardiac enzymes
BP- 160/110 mmHg
Hemoglobin: 19 gm/dl
Troponin I: 0.030 (normal < 0.012)
HR- 97 bpm
Hematocrit : 60%
Creatine kinase: 120 U/L (normal 25-90 U/L)
Temperature- 98 F
Leucocytes: 5800 cells/mm3
Platelets: 300,000 cells/mm3
Jones is immediately taken to the operating room to do an Angiogram (procedure to visualize his coronary blood vessels) The doctors find a block in one of the major blood vessels and decide to do a angioplasty (minor surgery done to open blocked arteries).
After the Angioplasty, the, EKG comes back to normal and his cardiac enzymes are trending down. So, the physician decides to observe him in the hospital for 2 days. He is discharged on 3rd day, with advice to make life style changes and start medications: Aspirin, Metoprolol (Beta blocker), Simvastatin (for his high cholesterol) and follow up with his physician in his home town.
Mr. Jones was not compliant with his medications, made no changes to his life style. 3 months later, he visits his physician and complains of easy fatiguability, headaches, shortness of breath, unable to lie flat on the bed at night. He says that he has to sit up propped up against 4 pillows in order to sleep. On Auscultation of the chest, there are bilateral crackles heard. The physician concludes that Mr. Jones is in heart failure. He now prescribes Diuretics for Mr. Jones.
