Rickets, Paget’s Disease, Achondroplasia, Hypertension, Diabetes type 1, Diabetes type
2, X-linked myotubular myopathy, Osteoporosis, Osteoathritis, Sleep apnea etc.)
Second Task (Week 2): Read about the disease in detail by doing research. I recommend
using the links below for your research (login with your cunyfirst info):

professions.
3. Google Scholar: https:
scholar.google.com/
When you visit the websites above, search for the disease you selected – for example,
type in “Review of Achondroplasia.” You can also try “Review pathophysiology and
treatment in COVID-19.”
If you desire, you may also use textbooks, CDC website, NYS Dept of Health website,
other governmental websites as references for your research. The 3 databases shared
above are prefe
ed. Avoid: wiki, webmd, and other similar sites
Third Task (Week 3): From your research, pick out at least 5 of your favorite research
(scientific) articles and reference them in your essay using MLA, APA, Vancouver or any
citation style that you desire. You must cite your work otherwise you will lose points if
determined you plagiarized. When you make a statement based on a study by scientists,
you must credit them by indicating where the scientists reported such finding. You may
egin your statement with: According to Frances et al, colonoscopy is prefe
ed method
for diagnosing colon cancer.[2]. The [2] represents the number out of the 5 articles you
ead. Check youtube for more info related to citations eg.

Fourth Task (Week 4): In over 550 words, compose an essay using the following
pointers:
1. In one or more paragraphs, write the introduction: must include history of the

2. In two or more paragraphs, discuss the anatomical structures impacted by the
disease. Discuss at least two of these levels: chemical, cellular level, tissue level,
organ level, and organ system. Be sure to compare normal vs disease state.
3. In two or more paragraphs, discuss the functions (physiology) of the structures

managed (must discuss details from your research; if medication therapy is the
method of treatment, you must discuss the mechanism of action of a sample
