– Choose a pathophysiological disease/disorder/condition that interests you and write a full report on its symptoms, causes, the detailed physiological changes it creates, organ system (s) it effects, and available treatment options. If there are interesting experimental treatments, you may include that as well.
Paper should include:
1) A detailed description of your chosen disease/disorder and its associated symptoms. Example: “Disease X is transmitted by mosquitoes and infected patients experience colorful hallucinations, intense GI tract pain, followed by paralysis. The disease is always fatal, infects 10% of people living in tropical areas”….etc etc etc
2) A detailed description of the pathophysiology of the disease/disorder in the organ system(s) it effects. Example: if your chosen disorder causes involuntary skeletal muscle contractions – indicate HOW it is causing them. Faulty ion channels, miscommunication with nerve axons, neurotransmitters not being broken down….etc.
3) A description of treatment options and how they work. Example: “Treatment for this disease involves taking drugs that inhibit break down of cAMP in the cells, which results in…..”etc etc etc….
