Borysko has metastatic renal cell carcinoma and is about to begin treatment with a programmed cell death (PD)-1 inhibitor (nivolumab 240 mg IV q 2 weeks). Borysko has a central venous catheter in place for administration of nivolumab. Borysko develops a left lower leg deep vein thrombosis and is initiated on enoxaparin 1 mg/kg SC q 12 hours. How long should Borysko receive enoxaparin treatment?

Zoetropes are classic device that produces the illusion of motion. You can see an example of the device below. Recently, people have taken this idea and developed 3D versions of this concept. Here, frames are created as a series of 3D models as opposed to 2D images.  A person who standing in a room with this 3D Zeotrope will experience the illusion of 3D motion. Which sensorimotor contingency does this best correspond to?

In Barnard et al. (2016) researchers developed a predictive model that was capable of assigning 7 of 10 individuals to a clinical diagnosis (acne or healthy) based on identified biomarkers.  Of those 7 individuals 6 were assigned correctly.  Why could the model not assign all individuals to a clinical diagnosis?  Think broadly about the microbiome, not specifically about the methods of this paper.   For full credit be sure to address the following. Identify the bacterial species most commonly associated with acnes. (2 words maximum) Name one virulence factor associated disease (does not have to be specific to the organism you named in A. (2 words maximum) Define contextual symbiosis/pathogenicity. (1 sentence maximum) List three potential contributors to disease other than the microbiota. (1 sentence maximum) Explain how your answers to B, C and D can lead to undiagnosed/misdiagnosed individuals using the predictive model developed in the paper.
