LM+immune+response+SAC

I've decided to prepare a slide show as part of my presentation. Each slide will ask a question such as "What is an autoimmune disease?" and then i will speak, answering the question. Hopefully this way it will break down my topic-making it more understandable and visually appealing. Richard Goodman -the wonderful doctor who spoke on wednesday night gave me this idea. :)

-Walk in dressed as Dr. Mandel. -Address my class of medical students -Give brief history of case Study -Mrs RA -Talk about symptoms of the disease -Lead into next area of discussion || 1 minutes || Answer the following questions: How does it occur? What are autoimmune diseases || 1 minute || -Define- rapid, pirmitive, non-specific, no memory -why are they non-specific -examples || 1 minute || -Define -powerful, slow occuring, highly flexible, specific, memory produced -highlight 2 responses-humoural and cell medited __Cell Mediated__ -function of APC -types/roles of t lymphocytes including -cytoxic killer cells, helper t cells and memory t cells __Humoural immunity__ -How anitbody production stimulated? -how are antigens inactivated by antibodies? //Show graph of antibody concentration// || 3 minutes || -**inability to distinguish between self and non-self -produce autoantibodies || 2 || -**highlight the 5 proposed causes || 1 ||
 * **1. Rheumatoid Arthritis**
 * **2. Autoimmune disease**
 * **3. Non-specific immunity**
 * **4. Specific immunity**
 * **5. Link autoimmune to normal immune
 * **6. What causes the production of autoantibodies?
 * **7.** Conclude by explaining Mrs RA's treatment || 1 ||

//Understanding aspects of immune response// -the intial stage of immune system-distinguishing 'self' and 'non-self' -comparing non-specific to specific -identifying what happens in autoimmune in terms of the normal immune response
 * Fitting my oral into the critera (check list)**

//Clear explatation, use of terminology, and visual aid// -Used all appropriate terminology-gave definitions whenever i can -visual aids- slide show presentation, digrams

//Understand of overall immune response -//Gave overview of immune response, followed by explanation of how autoimmune works

//Application of theroy to medicine -//RH -explained causes, symptoms and diagnosis. Hey there LM, it's great that you have organised yourself, but I hope you won't spend all this time just on this SAC. Not what I want you to do! You need to spend time on preparing for the exam as well. VM

Okkk vm.

Hi VM, after much research, i decided i was not happy with diabetes type 1 as my disease, because they are still unsure as to its primary cause. Hence i have focuses on rheumatoid arthritis. i hope that is okay. also, i have a feeling my presentation will go over the 10mintes by ONE MINUTE. please let that be okay?

No worries, you can certainly change your disease. As much as I don't want to put pressure on you, I have to be fair to everyone and I have already said that you have a maximum of 10min after which I will cut you off and allow questions from the audience. So if time may be an issue make sure that you address all the criteria in the 1st 10min. that way if you don't get to say everthing, it really won't matter. You may also find that I will use the question time to get you to address any criteria that you may have missed. VM
