4. A doctor in a hospital in Buenos Aires called the Ministry of Health (MOH) in January 2012 to report three potential botulism cases. The patients, all males in their 30s, had respiratory issues, double vision, drooping eyelids, and trouble swallowing. February 2 marked the start of signs for one patient and February 5 for the other two. In a nearby meat factory, all three guys had jobs. What kind of research is this? Case-control study Case series Ecologic study Cross-sectional study

SCENARIO A. You are working in the Emergency Department caring for a patient with a Staphylococcus aureus infection. S. aureus and MRSA strains are a cause of significant morbidity and mortality in the US. All of the following apply to S. aureus and MRSA subtypes EXCEPT: O A. MRSA strains can infect persons who have no healthcare contact or association O B. S. aureus is the leading cause of healthcare associated wound/surgical incision infections in the United States O C. S. aureus infections results in a 3X increase in length of hospital stay and a 5X increase risk of in-hospital death O D. MRSA colonization rates for health-care personnel is 5.9% (1.2-20% range) OE. S. aureus and MRSA subtypes can be transferred from health-care provider to patient O F. all of the above apply, no exception

1. Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a communicable disease in humans. It is caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis, and it affects the respiratory tract. The number of cases of pertussis that were reported in Canada between 1924 and 2011 is represented in the bar graph below. Number of reported cases Reported Cases of Pertussis in Canada, 1924-2011 25000 20000 15000- 10000- 5000 0- 1924 1934 1944 1954 1964 1974 1984 1994 2004 2009 Year a) Describe how vaccination helps prevent someone from getting pertussis. b) Based on the graph, approximately when do you think a vaccine became available in Canada? Explain your answer. c) Scientists discovered that the vaccine that was given to children between the 1980s and 1997 was not very effective. In 2003 a booster vaccination was given to those effected people. How this is reflected in the graph data?

2. According to the recent malaria report of the Department of Health, Disease and Prevention Bureau (2022), there are 4, 251 confirmed cases of malaria in the Philippines and majority of the cases are due to Plasmodium falciparum. P. falciparum life cycle includes gametocytes that will aid the parasite to reproduce sexually in its anopheline vectors. Examine Figure 2 below. Provide three (3) qualitative descriptions of the P. falciparum gametocyte. Write your answers in a complete sentence. Fig. 2. Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte in thin blood smear (CDC, 2022)
