Question
The relationship between use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) during peri-and post menopause periods and breast cancer was explored in a study involving 400 breast cancer cases and 800 non-cases. In this study it was found that 198 cases and 250 of controls had confirm that they used HRT.
- Calculated the population attributable risk of use of HRT on breast cancer and explain in words the meaning of such finding, make sure all calculation are revealed.
- What do you think about the classification of HRT use in this way could this invites error?

- Consider a study designed to estimate the role that certain characteristics play on predicting persons who are at greatest risk of developing arthritis in one or more joints. The authors have noted a lost-to-followup rate of 26%. Why is this cause for concern? It is cause for concern because those who remain in the study may be at a systematically higher risk than those not followed It is not cause for concern in this type of study; the concern exists only for randomized trials It is cause for concern because those who remain in the study may be at a systematically higher or lower risk than those not followed It is cause for concern because those who remain in the study may be at a systematically lower risk than those not followedarrow_forwardexplain the picture in full and detail about steroidogenesis in the ovaries (two cells theory)arrow_forwardIn a small study, 12 men with testicular cancer and 12 without were matched on age and asked about their history of testosterone use.

At their 1st prenatal visit the women were asked whether they took prenatal vitamins, in particular, folate supplements, during their pregnancy. The women were followed to term and their children were assessed for neural tube defects (NTDs). 392 women took folate supplements and of these women, 164 gave birth to infants with NTDs. Of the women who did not take folate supplements, 166 had infants with NTDs. Calculate the appropriate ratio measure of association. Round to two decimal placesarrow_forward

- The slow block to polyspermy involves a permanent modification of the egg surface, usually through exocytosis of the cortical granules. In the 1970s, Dave Epel carried out experiments that led to the conclusion that a Ca2+ rise in the egg is both necessary and sufficient to trigger cortical granule exoctyosis (CGE). For the experiment below, describe it as correlation, loss-of-function or gain-of function. Then, indicate the predicted result. Experiment (a) – Dr. Epel injects the egg with an indicator dye that fluoresces when Ca2+ binds to it. In unfertilized eggs, there is no fluorescence and no CGE. However, when sperm are added to the eggs, he observes fluorescence and then CGE.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true about teratogens? Select all that apply. 00000 O The greater the exposure, the greater the impact from teratogens. O Illicit drugs are teratogenic; prescription drugs are safe. Teratogenic impact can be greatly reduced by education and minimizing exposure. Major defects from teratogenic exposure will often result in a spontaneous abortion. The most vulnerable time for exposure and an anomaly to occur is between weeks 16 and 32.arrow_forwardMutations caused by carcinogens such as solar radiation accumulate in skin cells over a person’s life time (lets as- sume an indivdual lives for 75 years).
