Pathologies and Human Health Assignment: Pathologies (diseases) that afflict the human
body are important topics and are of great concern and interest in a Human Biology course.
The health effects and clinical manifestations are widespread and may impact various body
systems which we have learned about throughout this term. For this assignment you are to
select a human pathology (disease) and write a formal paper in which you present the
disease to a ‘patient’ that has little knowledge of the human body. Your paper must focus on:
(1) disease signs/symptoms; (2) cause/pathogenesis; (3) treatments available in first
versus third world nations (Is there a vaccine for prevention?); (4) epidemiology (Is the
disease is more or less prevalent in developed nations?); (5) power differential that exists
(Which groups, government or private, control the treatments or preventative measures?)
This assignment contains 4 sub-assignments which will be submitted at various times
throughout the term. Please see below for detailed information. The paper should be 4-5
pages, have in-text references, a reference section, proper grammar, and APA
formatting. Please use Mutiple Myleoma as the pathology for this paper.
