Hаnnаh is а 15-mоnth-оld girl frоm Washington state. She is spending the summer in Gambia, where her parents are working for a nongovernmental organization. About 3 weeks after her arrival in Gambia, Hannah’s appetite began to diminish and her parents noticed that she seemed unusually sluggish, fatigued, and confused. She also seemed very irritable when she was outdoors, especially during the day. When she began vomiting, her parents figured she had caught a 24-hour virus, but when her symptoms persisted, they took her to a clinic. The local physician noticed that Hannah’s reflexes seemed abnormally slow, and when he examined her eyes with a light, she seemed unusually light sensitive. She also seemed to be experiencing a stiff neck. Many of Hannah’s symptoms are consistent with several different infections, including influenza and pneumonia. However, her sluggish reflexes along with her light sensitivity and stiff neck suggest some possible involvement of the central nervous system, perhaps indicating meningitis. Meningitis is an infection of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) around the brain and spinal cord that causes inflammation of the meninges, the protective layers covering the brain. Meningitis can be caused by viruses, bacteria, or fungi. Although all forms of meningitis are serious, bacterial meningitis is particularly serious. Bacterial meningitis may be caused by several different bacteria, but the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis, a gram-negative, bean-shaped diplococcus, is a common cause and leads to death within 1 to 2 days in 5% to 10% of patients. Given the potential seriousness of Hannah’s conditions, her physician advised her parents to take her to the hospital in the Gambian capital of Banjul and there have her tested and treated for possible meningitis. Physicians took a blood sample and performed a lumbar puncture to test her [color1]. They also immediately started her on a course of the antibiotic ceftriaxone, the drug of choice for treatment of meningitis caused by N. meningitidis, without waiting for laboratory test results. Because bacterial meningitis progresses so rapidly, Hannah’s doctors had decided to treat her aggressively with antibiotics, based on empirical observation of her symptoms. However, laboratory testing to confirm the cause of Hannah’s meningitis was still important for several reasons. It is important to confirm N. meningitidis as the [color2] because this bacteria is not only [color3], but also quite [color4]. The transmission is through [color5]. The clinical laboratory performed a Gram stain on Hannah’s blood and CSF samples. Based on the diagram by CDC, if the gram stain shows the presence of [color6], then further biochemical test should be performed. * BAP = Blood agar plate, CAP = Chocolate agar plate The Gram stain showed the presence of a bean-shaped diplococcus. The technician in the hospital lab cultured Hannah’s blood sample on [color7], and the bacterium that grew on the media formed gray, nonhemolytic colonies. Next, he performed an oxidase test on this bacterium and determined that it was oxidase [color8]. Last, he examined the repertoire of sugars that the bacterium could use as a carbon source and found that the bacterium was positive for glucose and maltose use but negative for lactose and sucrose use. All of these test results are consistent with characteristics of N. meningitidis. Fortunately for Hannah, her symptoms began to resolve with antibiotic therapy. N. meningitidis is found in the normal respiratory microbiota in 10%–20% of the human population. In most cases, it does not cause disease, but for reasons not fully understood, the bacterium can sometimes invade the bloodstream and cause infections in other areas of the body, including the brain. The disease is more common in infants and children, like Hannah. This type of pathogen is considered a(n) [color9]. The prevalence of meningitis caused by N. meningitidis is particularly high in the so-called meningitis belt, a region of sub-Saharan African that includes 26 countries stretching from Senegal to Ethiopia. This type of high incidence rates in a disease is considered a(n) [color10]. The reasons for this high prevalence are not clear, but several factors may contribute to higher rates of transmission, such as the dry, dusty climate; overcrowding and low standards of living; and the relatively low immunocompetence and nutritional status of the population.

See diаgrаm! Mr. Mаrshall is making a headbоard fоr his daughters bed. He will cut a circular arc frоm a rectangle 26 inches wide and 4 inches tall. He wants to cut along a circular arc that intersects the midpoint of the top edge and the bottom two corners (i.e, along arc DC, such that arc DC intersects the midpoint M of AB - see diagram for labels)PART 1: (5 points) What is the radius of this circle? (see diagram - take note of the dotted lines...) I.e, find the length of OM. (Practical note: Mr. Marshall will tie a string at the center of this circle to draw an accurate arc in order to make a nice cut)PART 2: (5 points) To the nearest tenth of an inch, what is the length of arc DC? (hint - what fraction of the circumference of the circle lies in the headboard) Bonus: here is a photo of the completed bed, note the headboard!
