ADVANCED MANAGERIAL ACCOUNTING QUESTIONS

PRIMARY CASE STUDY;So what will humans look like in 500 years if they are still evolving? This is a hard thing to predict. Humans and human society are so complex at this point that you can't really pinpoint one isolated trait besides their big brains that makes them survive and reproduce better. Accurate scientific predictions about the evolution of humans are nearly impossible. Weather forecasters can't predict what a handful of elements in the sky will dO week from now, so predicting what the complex web of humanity will become in hundreds of years is out of the question. But, for the sake of illustrating how evolution works, we can engage in some unfounded speculation. The leading causes of death may give us some hints about future human evolution. We have to be careful and only consider the leading causes of death among people who are young enough to reproduce, say, before the age of 35. Those that have a genetic makeup that predisposes them to better survive the leading causes of death among those younger than 35 years will be able to pass their genes on to the next generation and therefore influence the course of human evolution. According to theCDC, the leading causes of death in the US for people younger than 35 are unintentional injuries (such as car accidents), suicide, homicide, and cancer. Whatever biological traits enable a person in the US to avoid fatal injuries, suicide, homicide, and cancer will become the traits more pronounced in humans in the US as they evolve. For example, humans could evolve to become less risky (thus avoiding accidents), more religious (thus avoiding suicides and homicides), and more disgusted by smoking and alcohol (thus avoiding lung and liver cancer). Note that heart disease is one of the top killers overall in the US. You may be tempted to conclude that humans will evolve to be more resistant to heart disease, or will evolve to crave heart-healthy foods more.

SECONDARY CASE STUDY;But if you look at the CDC data of mortality by age, you find that heart disease is only a top killer for people over 45 years old, which is passed the main child-bearing years. Heart disease therefore has little influence on reproduction, and, by extension, little influence on evolution.

TASK;

Question 18

I am a carrier of hepatitis C (HCV) and am going to have antiviral treatment soon. Are the side-effects of antiviral treatment for HCV bound to occur? I am very worried.

Question 19

Besides needle-pricks, how else is it possible to contract hepatitis C from a hepatitis C (HCV)-positive patient? Are the patient's skin/sweat (or other bodily secretions) infectious?

Question 20

What is the risk of infection with hepatitis C from blood splashed into the eyes?

Question 21

Hepatitis C (HCV): if results from the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination are inconclusive, what does this mean? Should further investigations be undertaken and, if so, will there be a risk of chronicity?

Question 22

In a patient with hepatitis C and autoimmune hepatitis, can corticosteroids be prescribed for the autoimmune hepatitis?

Question 23

We were told that the more vascular a structure is, the more antigen (HLA/blood groups) matching is needed for transplantation, e.g. cornea transplant needs no matching. However, the liver is a very vascular organ; I don't know why liver transplantation needs blood group matching only but renal transplantation needs much more HLA matching.

Question 24

About steatohepatitis: please give me more information about the occurrence of cirrhosis in such patients (non-alcoholic) and is there any role and indication for lipotropic agents and hypocholesterolaemic drugs?

Question 25

I am working on non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) but I did not find anything regarding it. Can you tell me about its relationship with lipids?Liver, biliary tract and pancreatic disease 7 51

Question 26

Is NASH a valid term or not and what manifestation has it?

Question 27

Is terlipressin better in controlling variceal bleeding than somatostatin?

Question 28

Why is there a hyperdynamic circulation in cirrhosis?
