@BSCIProf The syllabus says to upload our presentations somewhere, is there a link that’s not up or are we not doing that anymore? #bsci421

https://t.co/LPGu0V7A0r What is immune checkpoint therapy and how does it work? How will this change the amount of fatalities from cancers like melanoma and advanced lung cancer? #bsci421

@fulamarie Open sores that don’t fully heal, red/irritated areas on the skin, shiny bumps, pink growths with raised edges, and an area that looks like a scar. #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf There were 510 new cases of melanoma in 2015. One thing that surprised me was in 2015 there were 1,302 new cases of female breast cancer in NH, over twice the amount of any other type of cancer in women. #bsci421

@Chantal91054735 Not only does lack of clean water put children at risk for disease, it can also stunt their growth—In Indonesia, the rate of stunted growth is 11% higher where there is open defecation. Easy access to clean water is a must to prevent this. #bsci421

https://t.co/Pfo9zrqYEl @BSCIProf It's amazing that one man had such a great impact on his village! What was the main force Manilal Rana used to convince his fellow villagers to have toilets in their houses? What impact do you think this will have on the villagers? #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf This number would be reduced if access to clean water was closer, like water taps in town or even in their own homes. With this time women could work more, go to school, and take care of family. #bsci421

@fulamarie There were 12 cases, three or more of which were from local mosquitoes. The rest were transmitted from Punjab State, India. These cases occurred in California. #bsci421

https://t.co/hcr9k3wmZN After devastating and traumatic earthquakes in Lombok, 137 people got malaria. What is the main factor that caused these people to become infected? @BSCIProf #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf DDT was sprayed where malaria was common, even in peoples houses. Also, mosquito breeding grounds were removed. It could potentially come back in the US if people don’t take the necessary precautions when traveling to places where malaria is prevalent. #bsci421

@ChrisMatthewsF2 @BSCIProf In 2013 it was non-Hispanic whites, non-Hispanic blacks, and Native Americans. It’s also the second leading cause of death for Pacific Islanders, Asian Americans, and Hispanics. #bsci421

@BSCIProf https://t.co/nl2EA1BmFQ Sleep allows for numerous processes that affect heart health. 6-8 hours is the recommended amount of sleep each night. How does sleeping too much or sleeping too little affect heart health? #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf I got 11/12. Exercise is one of the most important factors for heart health (30 minutes of moderate exercise 5 days a week), as well as cutting out excess salt, and eating foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids (like fish) can reduce chances of heart disease. #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf @giooo4reeaal Maybe because people don’t see it as a dangerous disease, as it’s relatively common and just needs rest and fluids to recover. This clearly isn’t the case though, as around 80% of people who die from the flu aren’t vaccinated. #bsci421

https://t.co/pfRrz4G4bL in this study, how did the daily use of aspirin effect the spread of HIV? #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@BSCIProf 20-29 year olds had the most new cases in 2016 with 14,740 diagnosed. This isn’t surprising as this group has a lot of changes happening relating to independence (college, clubs, living alone for the first time, etc) and they tend to not be as careful as they should be. #bsci421

[mch @mch96860627]

@giooo4reeaal @BSCIProf @Chantal91054735 saturday i believe!

[mch @mch96860627]

https://t.co/fAEPdOESx8 @BSCIProf If these new insect repellants are approved and become widespread in use, how will they effect the likelihood of getting a disease from mosquitoes? #BSCI421

[mch @mch96860627]

@Chantal91054735 @BSCIProf It is expected that the insect population will decrease drastically, as it has been in recent years. It's already been observed that in the past 27 years, insect abundance has decreased by 75%. If human actions are continued as they are now there will dire consequences! #bsci421
