Guidelines for Writing the Scientific Journal Article Report

Goal: The goal of this assignment is for you to research a topic of interest to you that has to do with the human body. This topic could be about human anatomy and physiology, exercise physiology, pathophysiology, or medicine. You should be able to do an online library search of the topic and then find a primary scientific research article that you will summarize using the following format.

Format:

1. Title of the Report Page

2. Summary of the Report: 1 page

In this section, you should summarize the objectives, the methods and materials used, and the findings of the paper.

3. Discussion: 1-2 pages

Discuss the importance of the findings in the article to the science that it deals with (anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, medicine, nursing, etc.) Compare the results with similar research in this particular field of investigation. Evaluate the research done in the article using two other sources. Give your opinion as to the merits (or lack of) of this research. Elaborate on the future of such research and the direction it might take.
Cite reference articles and list the sources in the bibliography section at the end.

4. Bibliography Page:

Use at least 2 sources of reference. If you cite someone you must include him/her in the bibliography.
Bibliography format: Author (last name, first initials), “title of the article”, the title of magazine or journal, book or periodical (underlined), date, volume, number, page numbers. If the article(s) is(are) from a website, be sure to include a live hyperlink to the article(s).

Article(s) must be from 2010 or later. No articles from Encyclopedias.
Select a paper on a topic that must be directly or indirectly related to human anatomy. Attach a copy of the article to your report or a web link to the report if available.
The article review must be typed. Allow one-inch margins everywhere. Typing must be done using 12 pt. font and 1.5 line spacing.

1.)You have a sample of a population where you know that the percentage of the homozygous recessive genotype (aa) is 24%. Using that 24%, calculate the following:
A. The frequency of the “aa” genotype.
B. The frequency of the “a” allele.
C. The frequency of the “A” allele.
D. The frequencies of the genotypes “AA” and “Aa.”
2.)A rather large population of Biology instructors have 393 red-sided individuals and 557 tan-sided individuals. Assume that red is totally recessive. Please calculate the following:
A. The allele frequencies of each allele.
B. The expected genotype frequencies.
C. The number of heterozygous individuals that you would predict to be in this population.
3.)Cystic fibrosis is a recessive condition that affects about 1 in 2,000 babies in the Caucasian population of the United States. Please calculate the following.
A. The frequency of the recessive allele in the population.
B. The frequency of the dominant allele in the population.
C. The percentage of heterozygous individuals (carriers) in the population.
4.)Within Guinea pigs some produce a rosette (swirling) coat which is controlled by the dominant allele “R” and the recessive allele “r” controls the smooth coat. If there is a population of 750 guinea pigs and 150 have a smooth coat estimate the allele frequencies of this group of guinea pigs.
5.)In certain African countries 4% of the newborn babies have sickle-cell anemia, which is a recessive trait. Out of a random population of 2,000 newborn babies, how many babies would you expect for each of the three possible genotypes
6.)In Eastern Pennsylvania many Amish communities thrive. The syndrome known as Ellis-van Creveld syndrome (a form of dwarfism) is prevalent among the Amish. Symptoms include short stature and polydactyly (extra fingers and toes on limbs). The Amish population stem from a small number of German immigrants who settled there. They tend to marry within the group. Consider whether this is an example of the founder effect or bottleneck effect.

the Whitefish Blastula
Introduction
While the onion root cells tend to be arranged in a planar fashion, the whitefish blastula is more spherical. As a result, the whitefish cells are oriented in a less orderly fashion than the regular, patterned. When a section is cut from the blastula, some mitotic figures will be visible and familiar, as in the root tip, but other cells will be cut so that many mitotic figures may have an unfamiliar or atypical appearance. Disregard these and concentrate on those which can be seen in full view. As a result, finding each stage of mitosis may require more searching in the whitefish blastula.
Materials
1. Compound microscope
2. Prepared slide of whitefish blastula
Procedure
1. In Figure 6, identify the phase of mitosis and write the name of the phase below each diagram. The cells go in the appropriate temporal sequence through cell cycle and you are likely to use the same term multiple times. While technically not a phase of mitosis, you may use “interphase” for some of the cells, but you should not use “cytokinesis.”
2. Hold the slide of the whitefish blastula to the light and note that there are a number of sections on the slide. Examine all sections on the slide using high power to locate all the phases of mitosis.
3. Find each phase of mitosis on the slide. As you locate each phase, your instructor will verify that you are correct and initial your paper. After you have received verification from your instructor, draw the cell in Table 1.

Points for discussion:
1) There are hundreds of lipid peroxidation products, why

Points for discussion:
1) There are hundreds of lipid peroxidation products, why did the authors choose F2-isoprostane? What are its advantages compared to other biomarkers in terms of stability, analysis and robustness?
2) Is the analysis of one lipid peroxidation product sufficient? What other analysis did the authors perform to establish that brain damage is oxidative in nature.
3) What analytical technique used to analyze F2-IsoP’s in their study? Is this a robust method? What analytical technique you would have chosen to analyze for F2-IsoP’s?
4) If you have to choose another lipid peroxidation biomarker, what would that be and why?
5) Would the same results be observed in patients with chronic brain damage condition? That is, if experiments were performed days or months after an acute ischemic stroke instead of within 9 hours? Whether your answer is yes or no, why?
please answer all these questions from the article below.

Create Cell Models

You will create an animal cell, a plant cell, and a bacterial cell using household items to represent the different organelles present in each type of cell.

Suggested Materials (you can come up with your own as well):
Sheets of paper
Plastic Eggs
Pipe Cleaners
Kidney Beans
Beads
Aluminum Foil
Miscellaneous Household Items – get creative – you can use paperclips, hair ribbons, coins, pine cones, buttons, etc.

PROCEDURES

1. Draw a plasma membrane on a sheet of paper (one sheet for each cell). Make it large enough ​to hold all the organelles.
2. Use your textbook as a reference to make sure you include all the organelles/structures. Make sure the correct organelles go into the proper cell.
3. Label them as a “Plant Cell”, an “Animal Cell”, and a “Bacterial Cell”.
4. Add items that represent the “organelles/structures” to the cells. For example:
• Construct the rough endoplasmic reticulum by stringing beads onto two of the pipe cleaners
• Pipe cleaners (with no beads) will represent the smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
• Construct a cell wall using the aluminum foil into a square shape (around the edge of the plasma membrane).
5. Include a legend identifying the household item that represents each specific organelle/structure. Do not use arrows or lines to point out the names of the structures, you need to include an actual legend.
Example:
Animal cell legend
Mitochondria – batteries
Ribosomes – beads
Etc.
