MI 1.1 Quiz Review

Question 1

What are medical interventions?

Answer 1

An activity directed at or performed on an individual with the. object of improving health, treating disease or injury, or making a. diagnosis

Question 2

What evidence helps scientists determine the source of a potential outbreak of an infectious disease

Answer 2

1. Interview/Survey - people who are sick to look for connections
2. Symptoms - Identify symptoms and compare between patients
3. Diagnostics - Use a variety of tools to identify the cause of the disease (including ELISA and Bioinformatics)
4. Look at concentrations and connections to determine starting point and then identify source of disease.

Question 3

What factors speed up or slow down the spread of disease through a population

Answer 3

population and weather & lifestyle

Question 4

How has advanced technology, such as bioinformatics, changed disease detection?

Answer 4

Bioinformatics carries biological information which could allow for genome testing to search or test for potential disease rather than having to base a diagnosis simply off symptoms.

Question 5

Define medical intervention

Answer 5

An activity directed at or performed on an individual with the. object of improving health, treating disease or injury, or making a. diagnosis

Question 6

Identify and categorize medical interventions

Answer 6

1. Diagnostic Tools - X-ray, EKG, Stethoscope, ect.
2. Rehabilitation - crutches, casts, exercise
3. Surgery
4. Pharmaceuticals
5. Genetics - Gene therapy, counseling
6. Engineering - bionics, biometrics, nanotech

Question 7

Define bioinformatics and identify and describe its applications in health and wellness

Answer 7

The collection, classification, storage, and analysis of biochemical and biological information using computers especially as applied in molecular genetics and genomics

Question 8

Explain how DNA sequencing occurs

Question 9

Compare and identify examples of quantitative and qualitative data

Answer 9

Examples of qualitative data include open-ended survey responses, interview transcripts, and observational notes. Examples of quantitative data include numerical survey responses, test scores, and website traffic data.

Question 10

describe the interaction between antigens and antibodies

Answer 10

the antibody molecule contacts the antigen over a broad area of its surface that is complementary to the surface recognized on the antigen

Question 11

describe the basic purposes of an ELISA test and what its results can be used for

Answer 11

diagnosing infections or confirming pregnancy - develop treatment path

Question 12

Direct elisa

Answer 12

In a direct ELISA, the antigen is immobilized to the surface of the multi-well plate and detected with an antibody specific for the antigen The antibody is directly conjugated to HRP or other detection molecules.

Question 13

explain how to perform and interpret the results of an antigen detection ELISA test

Answer 13

ELISA is a test that detects and measures antibodies in your blood. It’s used to determine if you have antibodies related to certain infectious conditions.

Question 14

define and explain how to create a serial dilution

Answer 14

ik how

Question 15

calculate tube dilutions, final dilutions, and concentrations

Answer 15

ik how

Question 16

identify evidence used to determine patient zero in a disease outbreak

Answer 16

most concentrated and darkest elisa tube

Question 17

indirect elisa

Answer 17

Indirect ELISA is a technique that uses a two-step process for detection, whereby a primary antibody specific for the antigen binds to the target, and a labeled secondary antibody against the host species of the primary antibody binds to the primary antibody for detection. As for direct ELISA assays, the antigen is immobilized to the surface of the multi-well plate.

The method can also be used to detect specific antibodies in a serum sample by substituting the serum for the primary antibody.
