Answer:

an emerging infectious disease

Explanation:

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), an emerging infectious disease can be defined as a newly identified and previously unknown infection in a population that may lead to serious public health concerns at local and/or international level. Emerging infectious diseases usually are caused by pathogenic organisms (like viruses) already present in the environment that acquire the ability to infect a new host species as an adaptive response to changes in ecological conditions. Some examples of emerging infectious diseases include, among others, Ebola virus disease, Chikungunya virus disease, H1N1 Influenza virus disease, etc.

In light of the all or none law of muscle contraction, how can you explain the graded response?
Andrews [41]
<span>In the "all or none" law of muscle contraction, it states that when the stimulus applied exceeds threshold then the the nerve sending signals to a few muscle fibers will give a complete response; contraction. Graded response is dependent on how many motor units have been recruited. The more motor units, the greater the force in the contraction.</span>

A large number of disease-free individuals were enrolled in a study
Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a,Answer: Type I right censoring, censoring time = 60.

b.This is called an Interval censoring,

c.this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

d.The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}

Explanation:

a) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 30, never developed

breast cancer during the study.

Answer: Type I censoring, censoring time = 60.

(b) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 40, was diagnosed

with breast cancer at the fifth exam after enrollment (i.e., the disease

started sometime between 12 and 15 years after enrollment).

THis is called an Interval censoring,

if the clinical exams is conducted every three years , then 3*4=12, and 3*5=15

add this to 40 years respectively, we have

censoring time = (52, 55]

c) A healthy individual, enrolled in the study at age 50, died from a

cause unrelated to the disease (i.e., not diagnosed with breast cancer

at any time during the study) at age 61.

this is called Random censoring because the year in consideration was chosen at random, censoring time = 61.

(d) An individual, enrolled in the study at age 42, moved away from

the community at age 55 and was never diagnosed with breast cancer

during the period of observation.

Random censoring, censoring time = 55.

The observations are left truncated respectively at age 30, 40, 50 and 42.

e.  Confining your attention to the four individuals described above,

write down the likelihood for this portion of the study.

L\alpha \frac{S(60)}{S(30)} *\frac{S(52)-S(55)}{S(40)} *\frac{S(61)}{S(42)} *\frac{S(55)}{S(50)}  

the above represent the likelihood

Brrunno [24]
The list of <span>not correctly paired parasympathetic outflow </span><span>would be:
1. nerves coming from the sacral section innervate lungs and heart
</span><span>2. vagus nerve stimulates many glands in the head like lacrimal and salivary glands
</span><span>

Sacral region is located in the tailbone, near the hip. The location itself too far from lungs and heart, which actually nerved by vagus. 
</span>Lacrimal and salivary glands are nerved by the submandibular (cranial VII) and glossopharyngeal(cranial  IX), not vagus(cranial X)
