Lab Assessment 12

Give examples of 3 systems that continue to develop postnatally.

Cardiovascular, Respiratory and Gastrointestinal systems.

Identify the abnormalities detected by the Guthrie Test and link to one abnormality listed in OMIM.

PKU, Hyperthyroidism and Cystic Fibrosis [1]

Lab Assessment 11

1.Name the components that give rise to the interatrial septum and the passages that connect the right and left atria.

Septum Primum and Septum Secundum form the interatrial septum. Foramen Ovale and Foramen Secundum form the passages between the right and left atria.

2.Identify the cardiac defects that arise through abnormal development of the outflow tract

Truncus Arteriosus and Ventricular Septal defects.

Group Project Contribution

I contributed to the Treatment and Introduction sections. I edited all my work in Word before I added it to the group page to avoid leaving the editing sections open for too long.

I also formatted all of the references so there was no double ups and editted the website for grammer and sentence structure. This is as of the 13/10/2011.

Lab Assessment 10

1.Besides fetal alcohol syndrome, identify another environmental teratogen that can lead to hearing loss.

Maternal Diabetes

2.Identify 3 factors that contribute to poor neonatal drainage of the middle ear.

Opened by only the tensor palatini muscle, narrow and almost horizontal.

3.Identify 1 genetic abnormality that affects hearing development and link to the OMIM record. (Your individual abnormality should be different from all other students)

FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 3; FGF3 [2]

Lab Assessment 8

Group 2 Peer Review

  • The first three sentences about congenital disease is misplaced. This should be in your glossary, not in your very first sentences.
  • The common symptoms could be left out of the introduction and discussed in the appropriate section.
  • Written like an essay rather than a webpage. Language such as “for example” not necessary.
  • Clinical Diagnosis was well structured and good use of pictures.
  • Clinical Manifestations could be simplified slightly in the table.
  • Some references need to be adjusted rather than just a web address.

Group 3 Peer Review

  • The first paragraph is not necessary, talk about Klinefelter’s specifically not about sex chromosomes. This can be discussed further in the webpage.
  • Double spacing of paragraphs and other formatting looks awkward.
  • Great historic information but could be integrated into the timeline instead of having large paragraphs and a timeline.
  • Really liked “other similar disorders”. Great idea.
  • Some references need to be fixed so there is not double ups in the reference list.

Group 4 Peer Review

  • History could be adapted into the timeline. Unnecessary for both.
  • The table of medications in treatments is slightly hard to follow. Perhaps some use of bolding or different font sizes would make it easier to read.
  • Great use of images. Make sure they are formatted correctly. In the Tetrabenezine section the image is large and cuts off one sentence which is then placed under the image which makes it look like a caption.
  • Some references are missing entirely. Make sure the referencing is uniform. Review list and fix up double references.

Group 5 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • The lone sentence at the beginning of the history is unnecessary.
  • Essay language such as “for example” is a bit out of place on a wiki page. Tailor language to a web page.
  • In the epidemiology section some statements are not referenced. Where are these ‘examples’ coming from?
  • Research section would benefit from the bolding of paper headings or authors names.
  • Glossary could be expanded, very minimal.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed.

Group 6 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • Introduction does not flow very well. Sentences are very choppy.
  • History section would benefit from a timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow.
  • In the epidemiology and symptoms sections need some more content. Seems very minimal. Also images?
  • Diagnostic section needs the rest of the information added to its table. “Insert text here”. Also use of bolding or different font sizes would benefit this table.
  • Glossary could be expanded, very minimal.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed.

Group 7 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • History section would benefit by placing the information into the timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow.
  • In the epidemiology, aetiology and complications sections need some more content. Seems very minimal. The table in aetiology could be explained much better.
  • Seems to be too many sections with only a small amount of content. These could be merged as some headings fit under a broader heading. This would make the page seem more content filled and give it a better flow.
  • Glossary could be expanded.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed. Double ups need to be fixed.

Group 8 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • History section would benefit by placing the information into the timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow. Could also be expanded.
  • In the epidemiology section the subheadings do not present the information in the best way possible. It makes it look like there is a lack of research into this area. Perhaps combining into paragraphs, or adding more information to each subheading.
  • The pathogenesis section needs some additional information.
  • Further explanation of terms in the symptoms section is needed as the web page is aimed at those that may not have a clinical knowledge.
  • Research could be summarised and papers talked about rather than just listing papers of current research.
  • Glossary is extensive but would be more appropriate following the information on the page rather than after the references as it gets forgotten about.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed. Double ups need to be fixed.

Group 9 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • History section would benefit by placing the information into the timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow.
  • In the diagnosis section each of the hallmark symptoms could be further explained rather than just listed.
  • The management steps could be explained rather than just listed. Not enough information in this section. Treatment is very choppy, should be written in paragraphs not sentences.
  • Research could be summarised and papers talked about rather than just listing papers of current research or individuals that are researchers.
  • Glossary needs to be finished. If you didn’t have time, should have gotten rid of terms.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed. Several different styles of referencing used, just have one.

Group 10 Peer Review

Some places for improvement.

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • History section would benefit by placing the information into a timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow.
  • Epidemiology section could be expanded and written in more flowing way rather than long sentences.
  • Needs more images, lots of large blocks of text. And images need to be formatted into the text as formatting currently looks awkward.
  • Further Research could be added, for example papers or groups that are researching as currently it is just being referred to.
  • Glossary could be expanded.
  • References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed. Double ups need to be fixed. Also perhaps research from MORE sources is necessary as there is only a few when you cut out the double references.

Group 11 Peer Review

Some places for improvement

  • Double spacing of paragraphs looks awkward.
  • History section would benefit by placing the information into a timeline rather than paragraphs as it is a bit hard to follow. Having both a history section and a timeline section makes no sense.
  • Syndromes and anomalies has sections where “text will be added soon”. Definitely needs more information.Symptoms need to be explained instead of just listed.
  • Needs more images, lots of large blocks of text. And images need to be formatted into the text as formatting currently looks awkward. Text needs to be grammatically corrected and formatted into paragraphs.
  • Further Research could be added, for example papers or groups that are researching as currently it is just being referred to. Listing the name of a paper isn’t discussing it.
  • Glossary could be expanded.
  • Where are the references? Where did you get this information from? Large blocks of text without references. References need to be fixed. There are many that are just a web address. Full citation is needed. Double ups need to be fixed. Links to pubmed could be good. Also perhaps research from MORE sources is necessary as there is only a few when you cut out the double references.

Lab Assessment 7

1. Are satellite cells (a) necessary for muscle hypertrophy and (b) generally involved in hypertrophy?

a)Satellite cells are not necessary for hypertrophy.

b)They are generally involved in hypertrophy.


2. Why does chronic low frequency stimulation cause a fast to slow fibre type shift?

It causes the fast to slow fibre shift, as the fast fibres become adapt and become more like slow fibres in order to work more efficently with the low frequency stimulation.

Peer Review

  • The linking of words to the glossary is good.
  • Some pictures are formatted in a way that the page doesn't flow very well.
  • Formatting is ok. Some areas where there is large empty spaces.
  • Good amount of pictures and text.
  • Informative content.

Lab Assessment 6

1. The palatal shelves fuse in week 9.

2. The chicken model was used.

3. The abnormality is Tetralogy of Fallot.

Lab Assessment 5

The most common side is the left side. This is due to the mutation in the pulmonary development gene which causes diaphragmatic hernia. It causes hernia as the left pleural cavity is sealed off at a later stage of development.

Lab Assessment 4

1. It is continuous with the bladder.

2. Ductus venosus in the liver, Oval foramen between the atria and Ductus arteriosus from the left pulmonary artery to the dorsal aorta (6th arterial arch from the left).

3. I will be doing the history and treatment of thalassemia.

Lab Assessment 3

1. Folic Acid and Iodine

2.

Miotic Cell Defects

--z3217043 11:06, 18 August 2011 (EST)

Lab Assessment 2

1. Identify the ZP protein that spermatozoa binds and how is this changed (altered) after fertilisation.

ZP3, it initiates the acrosome reaction, where acrosomal cortical granules are exocytosed from the egg. The granules modify the zona pellucida by making it unable to bind with further sperm and also hardened it.

2. Review articles

A rapid detection for α-thalassemia by PCR combined with dissociation curve analysis

Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in thalassemia
