Suppose that you began a one-year study of tuberculosis (TB) in St. Petersburg on January 1st, 2018. You enrolled 200 residents

in your study and checked on their TB status on a monthly basis. At the start of your study on January 1st, you screened all 200 residents. Upon screening, you found that 10 of the healthy residents were immigrants who were vaccinated for TB and so were not at risk. Another 10 residents already had existing cases of TB on January 1st. On February 1st, two residents developed TB. On April 1st, three more residents developed TB. On July 1st, three of the residents who had existing TB on January 1st died from their disease. The study ended on December 31, 2018. Assume that once a person gets TB, they have it for the duration of the study, and assume that all remaining residents stayed healthy and were not lost to follow-up.
What was the prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st?

Answer:  5%

Explanation:

The Prevalence rate is the term used to describe the percentage of a population that have contacted the disease being tested for. It is usually done over a certain period or a certain time.

The prevalence of TB in the screened community on January 1st therefore is;

= Number of infected/ No. of Tested residents

= 10/200

= 5%

ch4aika [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is "1. cornea 2. retina 3. rods and cones 4. ganglion cells

5. optic nerve 6. thalamus 7. primary visual cortex"

Explanation:

Light must pass a series of structures for the brain being able to interpret the data that comes from the eyes. The order that light stimuli travels from the eye to the brain is as follows:

1. cornea

2. retina

3. rods and cones

4. ganglion cells

5. optic nerve

6. thalamus

7. primary visual cortex

Light enters trough the cornea, the transparent front part of the eye that covers two-thirds of its total optical power; then it goes to the retina which receives the image that could go to the rods or the cones (depending if the light is at low or high levels, respectively). Then, ganglion cells increase the rate of the impulse within the optic nerve, and finally thalamus passes the sensory signal to the primary visual cortex. In this area of the brain, the basic visual features are extracted and interpreted.
