Describe how the positron emitting nuclide F- 18 is utilized in combination with a metabolically active substance such as glucose to generate highly detailed images of specific organs such as the brain.arrow_forwardat a large Assume that you are the nurse elementary school where children frequently come to you with nosebleeds. Design an experiment to test whether dropping keys down the back of the neck causes nosebleeds to stop. (Assume parents of all children in the school have given permission for their participation in the experiment and you have followed ethical guidelines for research with human subjects. One possible explanation for why keys down the back might actually be effective in stopping a nosebleed is that they are cold, causing blood vessels to constrict. Treatments should be randomly assigned to the children. Describe how you accomplish this. That is, when a child with a nosebleed comes to the nurse's office, how will you know which treatment he or she should get?arrow_forwardIn your own words, explain what happened in the following scientific experiment: Male mice were trained to fear a fruity odor.

- WHAT ELSE CAN I ADD TO THIS: A hypothesis is "a proposed explanation for a set of observations. A prediction would occur after you form a hypothesis. You would make a prediction regarding your hypothesis and then work to gather more information, test the hypothesis through experiments and this will help you determine if your hypothesis is correct and make a conclusion. An example of this might be my phone continues to die quickly despite being fully charged. My hypothesis is that my phone is dying quickly because I have a defective battery. My prediction is that replacing the battery will solve the problem. I can then test that hypothesis by replacing the battery and determine if that solves the problem.arrow_forwardTHE SCIENTIFIC METHOD: DR. SEMMELWEIS’ CASE STUDY An example of the scientific method in action can be found in the work of Ignaz Semmelweis, a Hungarian doctor who lived in the early-to-mid-1800s. He was appointed to a ward in Vienna’s most modern hospital, the Allegemeine Krankenhaus. He noticed that in his ward, patients were dying at a rate that far exceeded that of the other wards, even the wards with much sicker patients. Semmelweis observed the situation for several weeks, trying to figure out what was different about his ward as compared to all others in the hospital. He finally determined that the only noticeable difference was that his ward was the first one that the doctors and medical students visited after they performed autopsies on the dead. Based on his observations, Semmelweis hypothesized that the doctors were carrying something deadly from the corpses upon which the autopsies were being performed to the patients in his ward. In other words, Dr.…arrow_forwardI am working on the scientific method and am confused on what a controlled variable is and what controlled treatment is?

(Choose the best answer) The retrospective data showed that smoking or not was a difference in past habits between those with cancer and those without. Patients who had lung cancer were 17 times to 1 more likely to smoke more than 2 packs a day. In a prospective study, researchers surveyed two hundred thousand people about their smoking habits and then kept track of them for 4 years. The data indicated that people who smoke cigarettes had a lung cancer rate that was 10 times larger than those who had never smoked. Rsearchers in a lab painted tar on animals and tracked whether they got cancerwhile controlling for all extraneous variables. The animals they covered in tar were more likely to contract cancer. All of the above studies contributed to this now-accepted knowledge. None of the above.…arrow_forward
