There are two special populations that require extra consideration when you are calculating medication dosages. These are pediatric (children) and geriatric (mature adult) patients. Generally speaking, pediatric patients are under the age of 18, and geriatric patients are 65 and over. Explain the factors impacting dosing and medication administration to these patients. Additionally, explain how a patient's weight influences their dosage.
Consider the following treatments. You are currently in perfect health at age 30 but will die this year from heart disease if untreated. The existing treatment for heart disease is advil. This costs $1000 per year and gets you an additional 3 years of life (living until age 32, counting age 30 as the first year). Under this existing treatment, your quality of life weight decreases by 0.1 per year (e.g., for a quality of life weight of 0.9 at age 31). A new treatment for heart disease has been discovered, it's antibiotics. This costs $20,000 per year, and extends your life expectancy by 5 years (from age 30 to 34, counting the year at age 30 as the first year). It also maintains your current quality of life throughout all the years. Determine whether or not the new treatment is cost-effective using the $50,000 per QALY benchmark & use a discount rate of 3%.

A case-control study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between physical activity and coronary heart disease (CHD) in men. A total of 406 men newly diagnosed with CHD were included together with 406 men of similar ages who did not have CHD. The risk of CHD (measured by the OR) was higher among men who were inactive or only moderately active (collectively called ‘inactive’) than among those who were physically active: (See attached image) Odds ratio for inactive men compared to active men= (299 x 136)/(270 x 107)=1.41Suppose there is no misclassification in these data.What would the observed OR have been... 1. If 20% of all the inactive men had been misclassified as active? 2. If 10 % of inactive cases had been misclassified as active?

You are called to a hospital emergency department to investigate the death of an infant who was brought to the emergency department by paramedics, with CPR and advanced life support in progress. The parents are waiting at the hospital. How would you go about investigating this death (big, multi-factorial question)? What would you tell the parents? What information do you need to obtain, and from whom? As you address these points, please also discuss why various factors are important, and those that would make you think SIDS was a factor, or not.

The following case study is a paraphrase from "Good Clinical Practice. Standard Operating Procedures for Clinical Researchers" (Kolman, J., Meng, P. and Scott, G. editors; John Wiley and Sons publishers, 1998): “While a study subject and a relative were walking in town one day during the summer, a hanging flower basket fell on a study subjects head, resulting in the study subject falling down and becoming unconscious. The subject’s relative called for an ambulance. On arrival at a local hospital’s Emergency Department, in which the subject regained consciousness but could not recall the event, a x-ray revealed a fractured skull. The subject’s consciousness level at this point was deteriorating and after further tests a subdural hematoma was diagnosed, which was evacuated under general anesthesia. Postoperative recovery was uneventful and progressing well until day four, when the patient developed acute dyspnea (shortness of breath) at rest during visiting time. An emergency lung scan…
