A study was conducted in men aged 40-70 in order to determine whether exercising for 2 or more hours per week decreases the like

lihood of heart attack. The cases were 1,000 men who had recently had a heart attack; of these, 236 reported that they had regularly exercised for two or more hours per week prior to their heart attack. 1,000 controls were also selected for the study; of these, 379 reported that they exercised regularly. Calculate the magnitude of association between regular exercise and heart attack. What does your calculation suggest? (Select one answer.) A. People who exercise regularly have about 0.5 times the risk of having a heart attack compared to people who don't exercise. B. People who exercise regularly have about 2.0 times the risk of having a heart attack compared to people who don't exercise. C. People who exercise regularly have about a 50% chance of having a heart attack.

Answer: alternative A.

Explanation: In this case, we will consider people that already have had a heart attack. In this specific group of 1,000 people, 236 exercised regularly and had gone through this situation.

We can infer that 23.6% of people who exercised regularly have experienced that by dividing 236/1,000= 0.236= 23.6%.

If 236 people exercised, 1,000-236=764 didn't exercise regularly prior to their heart attacks, so 74.6% were considered to be sedentary.

If there's 0.236 chance out of 1 to exercise and still have a heart attack compared to 0.764 out of 1 to be sedentary and have the same experience, we can divide both ratios to compare them, so 0.236/0.764= 0.3089.

Alternative A claims that people who exercise have around 0.5 chance of having heart attacks compared to people who don't. Since our ratio resulted in 0.3089, we consider this number the closest to 0.5. Alternative <u>B is absurd because in order for people who exercise to have 2x the risk compared to people who don't, the number of people who exercised and went through that must be 2x bigger than people who didn't</u>. Alternative <u>C doesn't apply as well, because we already verified that the chance people who exercise have a heart attack equal to 23,6%. </u>

Emir is most probably taking a class on human anatomy. Human anatomy involves all the structures in the composition of the human body. Human anatomy can be studied either by systems (i.e. cardiovascular system, respiratory system, etc.) or by regions (i.e. thoracic anatomy, abdominal anatomy, pelvic anatomy, head and neck anatomy, etc.) depending on the course.

What is the difference between the review of systems and the physical examination sections of the H?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The difference between the review of systems and the physical examination sections of the H is discussed below in details.

Explanation:

The Review of Systems (ROS) is a precise record of potential indications the patient may be feeling, created by body system. Alternative titles cover Systemic Review and Functional Table. It also may be related to as a twelve Point Review of Systems.

The Physical Examination (PE) is an accurate estimation of the patient’s situation. The examiner examines, pokes, and prods the patient and registers the results here.

If brown eye color is a dominant trait and blue eye color is a recessive trust what can be determined about the eye color
natita [175]

Eye color is much more complicated than is usually taught in high school (or presented in The Tech’s eye color calculator).  There we learn that two genes influence eye color.

One gene comes in two versions, brown (B) and blue (b).  The other gene comes in green (G) and blue (b).  All eye color and inheritance was thought to be explained by this simple model.  Except of course for the fact that it is obviously incomplete.

The model cannot, for example, explain how blue eyed parents can have a brown eyed child.  Yet this can and does happen (although it isn’t common).   

New research shows that the first gene is actually two separate genes, OCA2 and HERC2.  In other words, there are two ways to end up with blue eyes.  

Normally this wouldn’t be enough to explain how blue eyed parents can have a brown eyed child.  Because of how eye color works (see below), if one gene can cause brown eyes, it would dominate over another that causes blue.  In fact, that is what happens with green eyes in the older model.  The brown gene dominates over the green one resulting in brown eyes.

The reason these two genes can explain darker eyed kids with lighter eyed parents is that the two genes need each other to work.  And that the blue versions are broken genes.  Here is what things look like:
