These skills are vital to success in the modern workforce; teams of people work together on projects in every possible field. It is better to learn these skills now before you have to learn them the hard way on the job.For the Group Project you will form teams of 5 members. Each team member will assume one of the following roles:Group Leader – Responsible for assigning tasks and keeping the group on targetRecorder – Responsible for taking notes during group meetings and keeping a written record of each team member’s duties and responsibilitiesCommunications – Responsible for group communications (via text, e-mail, phone, or other), including any correspondence with the instructor, and making sure everyone is kept informed of any new developmentsFile management – Responsible for maintaining the digital records of the group and keeping track of which version of any documents is the most recent or most completeProgress Monitor – Responsible for understanding the assignment, making sure all parts will be answered, and making sure tasks are being completed in a timely mannerNote that none of these roles determine who will perform the various tasks involved in completing the assignment – it is up for the group to determine together how that will best be accomplished.The group project will revolve around the case study “A Simple Plan: E. L. Trudeau, the Rabbit Island Experiment, and Tuberculosis Treatment.” This case study is divided into two sections with multiple questions per section. Individual members of the team will receive grades based on the quality of work shown in answering questions from both sections of the case study as well as anonymous evaluation of their contributions to the team’s effort, as determined by their team members.Part I describes E. L. Trudeau’s classis experiment investigating the causes of tuberculosis. For this part, you and your lab partners must discuss and answer ten questions found on pages 3 and 4 of the case study. Most of these questions are worth 4 points, and the following rubric will be used to evaluate your answer:0 = no attempt to answer1 = answer is not responsive to the question being asked2 = answer attempts to address the question, but the reasoning is faulty3 = answer offers a rational solution to part of the question but is incomplete4 = answer provides a full and adequate solution to the exercise5 = answer provides a full and adequate solution and there is an element of added value, e.g. a good follow-up question or an extraordinarily creative idea or solution.Question 8 on page 4 is an exception; it is a more complicated question and is worth more points. For this question, each part of the hypothetical experiment will be worth a set number of points:An experimental question that describes the question you are trying to answer is worth 2 pointsA testable, well-reasoned hypothesis that is a possible answer to the experimental question is worth 2 pointsA well-thought-out and thoroughly explained experimental design (how many treatment groups, what each will be exposed to, how long the experiment will last, etc) is worth 2 pointsDescribing 2 possible outcomes to the experiment, one of which supports the hypothesis and one of which refutes it, is worth 4 pointsSeparately graphing both possible outcomes in a manner similar to the graph on page 3 of the case study (with proper labels!) is worth 5 points.This means question 8 from part I is worth a total of 15 points of the final grade for the project.Part II of the case study examines some of the modern day social applications of Trudeau’s research. The questions in this section are much more applied and will require more thought and discussion on your part. Your group had to answer one of the questions on page 5 or page 6 of the case study. The answer to this question will be evaluated using the following rubric:The answer must address all parts of the question (4 points)The answer must be well-reasoned and logical (4 points)Some extra value must be present in the answer for full credit – a good follow up question, real-world application of the information, especially creative insight, etc (3 points)The answer must include information from another source outside of the case study (2 points)A direct quote (in quotations marks) from the reference must be included somewhere in the answer (2 points)The reference used to help answer the question must be correctly cited and evaluated by the team.Author’s name, date of publication, and source (book title, journal title, URL, etc) are provided in APA format (2 points)A short evaluation of the source is provided – How did you find it? Why do you think it contains reliable information? What makes this source trustworthy? (3 points)Finally, one of the goals of this group assignment is to help you learn to work together as a team – science is collaborative! In addition, the ability to work constructively in a team is valued in all types of employment, even in non-science-related fields. This means part of your individual grade for this assignment will be determined by how well you collaborate with your teammates.At the conclusion of the assignment, all groups’ members will fill-out an online assessment to determine how well their teammates contributed to the group’s activities. Part of this will be describing each member’s contributions, and part of it will include assigning “points” to each team member. These evaluations will be kept anonymous and confidential. Team members will learn how many points they earned in total, but will not be told who gave what points.All team members will receive the same number of points for the answers to the questions in parts I and II of the case study. These points are based on the quality of work done by the group as a whole. However, each team member can receive a different number of points for the teamwork portion of the project. The teamwork element counts for 20% of an individual’s cumulative project grade (for more information, see the grading rubric).A Simple Plan: E.L. Trudeau, the Rabbit Island Experiment, and Tuberculosis Treatmentby Karen M. Aguirre Department of Biology Coastal Carolina University, SC modified for use at San Jacinto College, Houston, Texas (2013)Part I – The Rabbit Island Experiment Imagine that it is 1874 and you have just been diagnosed with consumption, which we now call tuberculosis. That’s what happened to Edward Livingston Trudeau. A few years earlier, he had nursed a brother who ultimately died of the disease. Now, he had a fresh doctor’s degree, a young wife, a new baby, and a terrible problem—a diagnosis that, in his time and place, was often a death sentence. Dr. Trudeau knew all too well that a large number of people diagnosed with consumption ultimately died. Crowded together in cities like New York, where he was living with his young family, were tens of thousands of immigrants who were very glad to have their back-breaking factory jobs, but came home each night to inadequate housing, food, ventilation, sanitation, and little or no leisure or relaxation time. Consumptives labored for as long as they could draw breath as the bacterial infection in their lungs worsened and spread, eroding blood vessels and causing bleeding and poor oxygenation, or causing the lungs to fill with fluid until the sufferer might literally drown. Finally, exhausted consumptives would retire to their dank, crowded apartments to be nursed by their families until they died. Often family members would themselves become infected from their close contact and constant inhalation of organisms expelled by their sneezing, coughing, bleeding loved one. E.L. Trudeau, however, was not poor, nor was he a member of the factory-worker class. He decided to travel to a place where he had spent a lot of time as a boy and a young man, the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. There he could rest a bit, think, take long walks in the open air, and make a plan. Dr. Trudeau’s condition worsened during the arduous trek north by rail and carriage. In fact, the young man was so frail and sick that he had to be carried into the house of an Adirondack outdoorsman and wilderness guide. But a remarkable thing happened. Dr. Trudeau began to feel better. In time, he could hike and hunt and enjoy life with his friends. He resumed his correspondence with doctors and scientists. He sent for his wife and child, and began to build a medical practice in the distant little outpost of Saranac Lake. And he began to think about the cause and cure of what more and more scientists called not consumption, but tuberculosis. In the 19th century, a portion of the medical community believed that diseases like consumption were caused by an unfortunate combination of bad “family blood” (after all, the poor were certainly not well-bred, and they were more likely to become sick and to die early) and mysterious causative agents as ill-defined as dank conditions, bad “humours,” obnoxious smells, and miasmas. But, in 1882, Robert Koch demonstrated to most of the scientific establishment’s satisfaction that the tiny bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTb) caused the disease known as consumption. Moreover, he could grow pure cultures of the finicky MTb and infect cells of experimental animals, and ultimately the animals themselves, causing the disease. Koch said: “If the importance of a disease for mankind is measured by the number of fatalities it causes, then tuberculosis must be considered much more important than those most feared infectious diseases, plague, cholera and the like. One in seven of all human beings dies from tuberculosis. If one only considers the productive middle-age groups, tuberculosis carries away one-third, and often more.” Koch’s work, along with Louis Pasteur’s, led to the more general “germ theory of infection,” which stated that infectious diseases were caused by germs, which was the name given to the microscopic organisms (we know them now as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites) that cause disease in people and animals. Dr. Trudeau had followed Dr. Koch’s work with interest. He worked hard to learn how to culture MTb organisms, and was the first to do so in the United States. Intrigued by the correlation between healthy outdoor lifestyle and efficient anti-tubercular defense in his own case, he devised a simple experiment. The experiment spoke to both the MTb “germ” as sole causative agent of tuberculosis and a possible therapy for the disease. The experiment was described in his 1886 paper, “Environment in its Relation to the Progress of Bacterial Invasion in Tuberculosis.” The following is an excerpt from that paper:952569850First. What results ensue when both bacillary infection and unhygienic surroundings are made to coexist in tuberculosis? Second. Are unhygienic surroundings when every known precaution has been taken to exclude the bacillus sufficient of themselves to bring about the disease? Third. Is bacillary infection invariably progressive in animals placed under the best conditions of environment attainable? Experiments.—Fifteen rabbits were made use of and divided in three lots, each set of animals being placed under conditions best adapted to answer in the results noted [in] the three questions already referred to. Experiment No. 1. Five rabbits were inoculated in the right lung and in the left side of the neck with five minims of sterilized water in which was suspended a sufficient quantity of a pure culture (third generation) of the tubercle bacillus to render the liquid quite perceptibly turbid The needle of the Koch’s inoculating syringe was inserted subcutaneously on the left side of the neck and in the third intercostal space to a depth of thirty millimetres on the right side. These animals were then confined in a small box and put in a dark cellar. They were thus deprived of light, fresh air and exercise and were also stinted in the quantity of food given them while being themselves artificially infected with the tubercle bacillus. Experiment No. 2. Five healthy rabbits were placed under the following conditions: A fresh hole about ten feet deep was dug in the middle of a field, and the animals having been confined in a small box with high sides but no top, were lowered to the bottom of this pit, the mouth of which was then covered with boards and fresh earth. Through this covering a small trap door was cut which was only opened long enough each day to allow of the food, consisting of a small potato to each rabbit, being thrown to the animals. So damp was the ground at the bottom of this pit that the box in which the rabbits were confined was constantly wet. Thus these animals were deprived of light, fresh air, and exercise, furnished with but a scanty supply of food while breathing a chill and damp atmosphere, though free from disease themselves and removed as far as possible from any accidental source of bacterial infection. Experiment No. 3. Five rabbits having been inoculated in precisely the same manner as the animals in the first experiment, were at once turned loose on a small island in June, 1886. It would be difficult to imagine conditions better suited to stimulate the vitality of these animals to the highest point than were here provided. They lived all the time in the sunshine and fresh air, and soon acquired the habit of constant motion so common in wild animals. The grass and green shrubs on the island afforded all the fresh food necessary and in addition they were daily provided with an abundant supply of vegetables. Thus, while artificially infected themselves they were placed in the midst of conditions well adapted to stimulate their vital powers to the highest point attainable. 0First.

Questions The data from the experiment Dr. Trudeau describes is shown below in Figure 1. Graphs like Figure 1 are called survival curves. Write a narration of the figure describing the results of the experiment. Explain why the rabbits are emaciated in groups 1 and 2. (Please note: What Dr. Trudeau called Experiments 1, 2, and 3 are more like what modern scientists would call treatment groups 1, 2, and 3, and that terminology is used in Figure 1.) Figure 1. Analyzing the Rabbit Island Experiment Calculate the survival rate for each group in figure 1. Use the following formula:Percent survival = (surviving rabbits / # beginning rabbits) * 100For example, if a group had began with 10 rabbits and only 3 survived, the percent survival would be 3/10 * 100 or 30%. Which group has the highest survival rate? Which group had the lowest?Use your results to write an overall conclusion to the Rabbit Island Experiment. Also develop an answer to each of Dr. Trudeau’s questions. Do Dr. Trudeau’s results support the germ theory of infection? Why or why not? What do the data suggest might be good environmental conditions for tuberculosis patients? What might be the effect of crowding on effective exposure rate of individual animals to MTb? (Hint: Would you rather board an airplane for a 3-hour trip where 2 out of 300 passengers had the flu or board an airplane where 200 out of 300 passengers had the flu?) Dr. Trudeau’s little experiment had a big impact on medical thinking at the time. His experiment offered a rationale for opening his Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium, which offered rich and poor alike a regimen of abundant nourishing food, lots of sunlight, plenty of rest, and as much fresh air as a person could tolerate. Hundreds were helped, and many similar establishments were opened. Perhaps the experiment was so successful because of the care with which Trudeau had designed its components. It is important to identify an interesting and potentially approachable question or set of questions before undertaking an experiment. But it is just as important to devise a clever experimental design. When we design an experiment, we choose the treatments that will be received and we control or manipulate them in appropriate ways. These treatments or manipulations are the independent variable(s). The observed or measurable differences in outcome for the treatment groups are the dependent variable(s). Suppose I want to know how much sunlight is needed to produce the sweetest oranges? Based on what I know about sunlight and photosynthesis, I hypothesize that the greater amount of sunlight an orange plant gets, the sweeter the juice of the orange. To investigate whether this is true, I might place one group of plants in the sun for 2 hours per day, another group for 4 hours per day, and nother group for 8 hours per day. At the end of the experiment, I could test for the amount of sugar in the juice of the oranges. The amount of time in the sun is the independent variable. The sugar in the juice is the dependent variable. Questions What is the dependent variable in the Rabbit Island Experiment? Also, list all of the independent variables you can think of in the experiment. (Hmm, maybe Dr. Trudeau’s experiment was not so simple after all!) Often, scientists like to hold all conditions constant except one. Just varying one thing at a time makes it easier to analyze the results. Select any one of the independent variables you have listed above and design an experiment similar to Dr. Trudeau’s. State your experimental question, i.e., what are you trying to find out. Formulate a hypothesis. Then decide upon and write out a description of how you will manipulate your treatment groups (there needn’t be three; you could have two, or four—just design a good experiment!), and then imagine the possible outcomes, assuming survival is the dependent variable. Now generate two survival curves based on those imagined outcomes—one that supports your hypothesis and one that does not. Give possible percent survival rates for each experimental group under both outcomes.We respect Dr. Trudeau and all those earlier scientists who did the best they could within the contemporary understanding of the problem they addressed and utilizing the materials and technology they had at hand. Modern-day biologists like to talk about resistance/susceptibility genes and patterns of inheritance, rather than family blood. They think about infectious disease in terms of microbes and pathogenicity, rather than speaking of bad humors. They have identified vitamins and other nutrients that are abundant in some foodstuffs and lacking in other that are essential for optimal immune function. Without the benefit of such modern formulations, Dr. Trudeau, by a disciplined application of scientific curiosity and careful, clever methodology, shed light on each of these concerns, light that helped to illuminate the minds of scientists who came after. Still, a look at his original paper leaves us wondering, were the rabbits genetically identical? Probably not! Why? Were they all of the same sex and age? Couldn’t he have given the animals kept on short rations just a smaller amount of the same varieties of food available to the animals fed abundantly—after all, there might be some important nutrient missing in potatoes. In light of the title of the paper, why not measure bacterial numbers in the rabbits on post mortem rather than just survival time? (In a subsequent paper, he did exactly that.) Once you start critiquing an experiment from 100 years ago, or 10 years ago, or sometimes even last year, it’s hard to stop. Can you think of anything else you would have changed about the Rabbit Island Experiment? Suppose you were the Mayor of New York City in the 1890s/early 1900s and were convinced by Dr. Trudeau’s experiments that in your city a transmissible bacterium was causing tuberculosis and that poor living conditions and inadequate diet were adversely affecting the ability of hundreds of people to fight the infection. What sort of public policies might you try to enact in order to combat the public health menace? What obstacles might you encounter? Part II – Tuberculosis in Social Context E.L. Trudeau was quick to distinguish between a helpful therapy and a cure. He opened the Adirondack Cottage Sanitarium, where poor and rich alike could come and receive the benefits of fresh air, plenty of sunlight, rest, and abundant but simple nourishing food. Hundreds benefited. Similar institutions opened up in the U.S., and the movement was already well underway in Western Europe. But the cure would only come in the 1950s with the discovery of antibiotics that were effective against the mycobacterium. QuestionsChoose ONE of the following questions for your group to answer. Some outside research will be required – you will have to find an additional resource to help you answer this question. Your answer must include at least one direct quote from this resource. In addition, write an evaluation of the resource that you choose: how did you find it? Who wrote the information, and on what is it based? What makes it a reliable resource?Question 1:27908251979295Figure 2: Western European mortality statistics—TB deaths over time (Based on Murray, 2001). 00Figure 2: Western European mortality statistics—TB deaths over time (Based on Murray, 2001). The curve shown in Figure 2 has three parts, from 1700–1800, 1800 to approx. 1955, and 1955 to approximately 1985. The data used to produce the curve are from Western Europe, but a similar one could be expected for the United States. From what you know of the history and culture of the United States and Western Europe, write a paragraph telling why each part of the curve looks the way it does. In looking just at this graph, what would you predict about the death rate from TB in 2000 and 2005? 3043555403733000In recent years, a combination of development of antibiotic resistant strains of MTb along with the creation of a reservoir of immunocompromised people by the worldwide AIDS epidemic have contributed to a resurgence of tuberculosis in the United States and a worldwide upswing in TB cases and deaths. This resurgence has been accompanied by a resurgence of interest in the disease by scientists asking new questions about the nature of true host genetic susceptibility/resistance genes for tuberculosis, about virulence genes within the mycobacterium itself which might offer new drug targets, and about the epigenetic factors that may influence disease predisposition and outcome in people with tuberculosis. Question 2: 31299152296160Figure 3: TB Cases in the United States 00Figure 3: TB Cases in the United States right6731000Tuberculosis causes nearly 2 million deaths worldwide each year. Between 1985 and 1992, cases of TB in the United States increased by 20 percent, as shown in Figure 3. Write a paragraph suggesting a few reasons why this resurgence of TB might have occurred in the United States. The resurgence lasted until approximately 1992, then, in the United States, it began to abate. In 2005 the TB case rate in the U.S. was 4.8 per 100,000, as the U.S. medical community brought the epidemic under control (Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, National Prevention Information Network, n.d.). However, in U.S. prisons and all over the world TB remains a serious health problem. In the U.S., zero tolerance drug laws have resulted in a burgeoning incarcerated population, which constitutes a significant reservoir of disease, with a far higher incidence rate than the general population. In New York prisons, the incidence rate of TB is 156.0/100,000 compared to the rate of 10.4/100,000 in the general population (U.S. Agency for International Development, 2009). Considering all you have learned in Parts I and II, discuss why these rates may be so much higher in prison. We know a lot about how to prevent and treat tuberculosis. There is much more to be learned. In 2010, 8.8 million people in the world fell ill with TB and 1.4 million died (World Health organization, 2012).
