You are conducting a case control study to determine if an association exists between melanoma and indoor tanning. From a statew

ide cancer registry, you identify 1,107 people who were diagnosed with melanoma in the last three years. You select 1,500 controls for your study. Through a follow-up survey, you find that 696 of those with melanoma had a history of indoor tanning. 48.2 percent of the control group reported no exposure to indoor tanning.
(a) Calculate the odds ratio.
(b) Interpret your results.

Answer:

a. Odds ratio = 1.58

b.  Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning

Explanation:

For case  study                                                  

Let 'a'  represent the total population of people with melanomia = 696                                                      

Let 'b' represent the total number of people with melanomia exposed to indoor tanning  =  1107 – 696 = 411 people

For  control study

Let 'c' represent the total population = 1500

Let 'd' represent the total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning = 1500 - (0.428 * 1500)

                                                          =  1500 - 723

Total number of people not exposed to indoor tanning   = 777 people

                                                       

a. Odds ratio = (a/b) / (d/c) = (696/411) / (777/723)

                                                = 1.69 / 1.07 = 1.58

b. Inasmuch the odds ratio is greater than 1, this means that higher odds of melanoma exist in people exposed to indoor tanning, than in those not exposed to indoor tanning.

Cells not dissolve in blood but they form a because they do not settle out of the blood either
irinina [24]

Answer;

-Suspension

Cells not dissolve in blood but they form a suspension because they do not settle out of the blood either

Explanation;

-Blood is a solution of salts, glucose, urea and a few other small compounds. It's a colloid of plasma proteins, including albumin, transport proteins and antibodies. It's also a suspension of blood cells and platelets.

-Suspensions and colloids are two common types of mixtures whose properties are in many ways intermediate between those of true solutions and heterogeneous mixtures. A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture of particles with diameters of about 1 µm (1000 nm) that are distributed throughout a second phase.

-Common suspensions include paint, blood, and hot chocolate, which are solid particles in a liquid, and aerosol sprays, which are liquid particles in a gas.

What is the difference between mechanical digestion and chemical digestion?
Bad White [126]

Answer:

So, Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is the way of breaking down foods in the body. The difference between Mechanical and Chemical Digestion is, Mechanical Digestion involves the body's movement to make the food smaller and Chemical Digestion involves enzymes to break the food down.

Explanation:

Since Mechanical Digestion involves moving around to break the food down, you would get up and walk around a little to burn it to make it work and Chemical Digestion is just using the natural enzymes in the body to break food down.

masha68 [24]
Secretion of human chorionic gonadotropin [HCG] only occur during pregnancy in the placenta. The concentration of this hormone increase rapidly during the first three months of pregnancy; the amount in the blood stream doubles every two to three days as the development of the placenta and embryo progress. The hormone reaches its maximum concentration peak around the sixth week of pregnancy and after this, its concentration decline.
