For items 42-43, refer to the given data below:Janel is a 31-year-old woman who has a positive screening mammogram. She consulted an oncologist about the chance of this being actual breast cancer. Janel was referred for mammography because of a suspiciousbreast mass that has doubled its size over the past 3 months. Lesions were also noted. Among 1000 hypothetical patients with a similar presentation, about 30% are estimated to have actual breast cancer. Assume that mammography has a sensitivity of 98% and 95% specificity for detecting breast cancer. 42. Given Janel’s clinical presentation and a positive diagnostic mammogram, what is the probability that shehas actual breast cancer?A. 10.65% B. 30% C. 89.36% D. 91.21%

Make a Drug study in the following scenario Rose is a 25 year old G2 P1 on her 39th week of pregnancy. Rose came in the labor room at 8:00 am on active labor. Vital signs : BP- 120/ 85 , Pulse = 85, RR 25 Temperature = 37.2 C,. Fundic height = 37 cm. Nurse Mark had done the vaginal exam and showed 4 cm cervical dilatation. Fetal heart beat taken by Doppler was 156 beats / min. CTG was ordered and Rose was attached to the machine, Tracing showed several decelerations at each contraction, At 12 noon, Nurse Mark checked the vital signs and recorded the following : BP= 135/85, pulse 90 , RR = 25 Temperature 37.4 C, IE = 8 cm dilatation,. While Nurse Mark was preparing Rose for delivery, Dr. Ben the Obstetrician ,came and reminded the nurse to prepare standby 10 units of syntocinon to be incorporated in 500 ml of D5 LR post delivery. The Physician likewise ordered a standby 50 mg of Tramadol IM and this will be given after delivery. After 30 mins, Bag of water burst and a…
8-6. Identifying Study Subjects A study entitled “Antidepressant Medication and Breast Cancer Risk” (Amer. J. of Epi, late 1990’s) stated in the methods section of the paper that “Cases were an age-stratified (< 50 and ≥ 50 years of age) random sample of women aged 25-74 years diagnosed with primary breast cancer during 1995 and 1996 (pathology report confirmed) and recorded in the population-based Ontario Cancer Registry. As the 1-year survival for breast cancer is 90%, surrogate respondents were not used. Population controls, aged 25-74 years, were randomly sampled from the property assessment rolls of the Ontario Ministry of Finance; this database includes all home owners and tenants and lists age, sex, and address.” Discuss the authors’ approach to the identification of cases with respect to the potential for selection bias. Discuss the authors’ approach to the identification of controls with respect to the potential for selection bias. Does the decision not to allow surrogate…
The following paragraph is taken from the National Cancer Institute’s web site on the PSA test for prostate cancer. The paragraph is the complete discussion of false positive PSA results offered on the web site. • What are some of the limitations of the PSA test? • False-positive tests: False-positive test results (also called false positives) occur when the PSA level is elevated but no cancer is actually present. False positives may lead to additional medical procedures that have potential risks and significant financial costs and can create anxiety for the patient and his family. Most men with an elevated PSA test result turn out not to have cancer; only 25 to 35 percent of men who have a biopsy due to an elevated PSA level actually have prostate cancer. Is the last sentence in the paragraph immediately above about false positives as the paragraph is entitled or is it about the left-hand side of Bayes Theorem? Explain.
