Feb 19, Monday – in one week is Exam I
Poisonous Hemlock
Carrot family – Apiaceae, Also know as the parsley family Umbelliferae.
300 genera & ~ 3000 Species: ¼ of genera native to U.S.
Contains important food plants: Carrots, parsnips, celery Coriander seeds, cilantro, Caraway, parsley & dill – also poison hemlock.
Poisonous Hemlock Conium maculatum L.
Description: A tall, usually much – branched, imposing plant with purple-spotted stems, compound leaves, and small compound umbels of white Flowers.
Height: Two to ten feet.
Leaves: Pinnate compound.
Poisonous Hemlock:
Flowering: 2mm long, five petals, compound umbel.
Habitat: Waste places, weedy areas, and woodland borders.
Range: Throughout East, except Newfoundland & Arctic, also in much of Western U.S.
All parts of this plant are poisonous, containing the toxic alkaloid called coniine.
Toxin is a volatile oily compound.
Coniine was the first alkaloid synthesized in the laboratory.
Piperidine structure: nitrogen in a six-member ring.
Coniine killed Socrates!
Socrates drank a potent solution of poisonous hemlock 399 BC
Coniine causes paralysis of the diaphragm and subsequent respiratory failure
No plant extract should be consumed by unqualified practitioners! Poisonous hemlock is a narcotic herb that sedates and relieves pain.
The young leaves and fresh seeds contain the highest alkaloid content.
Used by Greek and Arab physicians for a variety of problems including arthritis. It was not always effective …caused death… as the difference btw. a therapeutic and a toxic amount or measure can be very slight..
Poisonous Hemlock: Overdoses can produce paralysis and loss of speech being followed by depression of the respiratory function then death!
No plant extract should be consumed by unqualified humans (practitioners)!
A current issue with poisonous hemlock is: prevent livestock from consuming poisonous hemlock while grazing (in large open rangelands)!
Paper: Hemlock alkaloids and Socrates to poison Aloes (Aloe ruspoliana): on mycourses
• 399 BC poisoning of Socrates by poisonous hemlock.
• Active constituents are of the piperidine alkaloids family
• ~all related to coniine alkaloids all of very simple chemical structures.
The Legumes
The Legumes: Legume family (Leguminosae)
Synonymous with pod, the fruit produced
Seeds are inside the pod or legume
Examples include: Peas, Soybean, Beans, Clover, Alfalfa & Peanuts
With N-fixing root nodules
Importance of Legumes: Major plant source of protein & oil
Major nitrogen fixers with symbiotic bacteria in root modifications called root nodules – fixes nitrogen from air and makes it available to plant
Vegetative Characteristics: Legumes plants are mostly herbs with compound leaves and most are annuals
Flowers are irregular, bilaterally symmetric
Pollination is by bees (hive decline, pesticide- pathogen interactions)
Fruit is a pod or legume, a long fruit with two rows of seeds, easily splits on two seams, two rows of seeds; example, peas in a pod.
Seeds of legumes Seeds are large with two cotyledons that make up most of the seed, no endosperm at maturity
Nitrogen fixation was discovered in legumes, due to symbiotic association of Rhizobium species of bacteria that inhabit nodules on roots
Bacteria give plant nitrogen and plant gives bacteria carbon
Nitrogen Fixation: Conversion of atmospheric N2 to ammonia NH3,
which reacts with water to form NH4+
Performed biologically by:
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria and cyanobacteria
Bacteria may be free-living in soil or in symbiosis with plant
Legumes are the only agricultural families that have symbiotic N-fixing bacteria (woody)
Rhizobium and related bacteria that form symbioses with legumes: Bacterial Species Host Plants Sinorhizobium meliloti Alfalfa, Sweetclover
S. fredii Glycine (Soybean), Cowpea
S. sp. NGR234 Broad host range: many genera of legumes
Rhizobium leguminosarum biovar trifolii
Trifolium (clover)
Mesorhizobium loti Lotus (trefoil), Lupinus (lupine)
Bradyrhizobium japonicum Glycine max
Events to the formation of legume-Rhizobium symbiosis:
two way chemical-mediated communication
Release of bacteria from plant produced infection thread into target plant cells and formation of bacterial derived: bacteroids
Some bacterial genes used in the symbiotic formation with legume plants
Stage or symbiosis
Rhizobium genes
Known or proposed function
Host plant signal nodD, nolR Activate or repress transcription of nod box promoters
Nodule formation, Host recognition
exo, lps, ndv Enzymatic synthesis of Nod factors
Differentiation Bacteroid metabol.
bacC dct genes
Signal import / export Import of dicarboxylic acids
Regulation of N- fixing genes , N- fixing
fixL, fixJ, nifA, fixK; nifHDK
Response to O2; control nif promoters; Nitrogenase & cofactors
Plant genes encoding specific proteins involved in N- fixation in nodule = Nodulins, leghemoglobins (Lb)
Bacteroids
First: Plant signals associated with Rhizobium nod gene expression: signaling Rhizobium that are host legume is near!
Regulatory circuit of rhizobium NodD and plant inducer molecules
Bacterium
Plant-Rhizobium Signaling
Bacterium-produced Nod Factor induction leads to Plant- produced infection thread and nodule development
Summary of Nodule Development (overtime, clockwise)
Start here

Rich in protein and carbohydrates
Immature pod also eaten, as snow peas or sugar snap peas
Peas grown in U.S. as field pea for livestock, a garden pea and as an edible-podded pea
Food Legumes: Peanuts Peanut: Arachis hypogea – native to South America; introduced into Europe then from there to Africa then from Africa to U.S.
Rich in oil and protein Unusual growth characteristics: after fertilization, the flower stalk dips downward and grows into the ground where the pod matures to produce peanuts – also called ground nuts
Uses: Half of U.S. crop for peanut butter, rest for snack food, candy, peanut oil
Food Legumes: Soybeans Soybeans: Glycine max – Native to China and introduced into Georgia in 1765. Now the most valuable crop in the U.S. – grown in Midwest and South
Oil used for cooking oil, salad dressing, margarine, shortening, mayonnaise
Oilcake is rich in protein, used for animal feed, used as meat substitute for humans
Food Legumes: Soybeans Soybeans: Glycine max
Traditional uses in the Orient:
Soy sauce – fermented soybeans and grain Tofu – soy milk curds Miso – fermented soybean & rice past in Japan Tempeh – fermented soy cake in Indonesia Soybeans also eaten as sprouts Widely used in health food
Food Legumes: Soybeans Soybeans: Glycine max
Industrial uses: Oil can be used as diesel fuel, or made into plastic, paint, ink, soap
A major crop in the U.S. with production increasing rapidly with greater yields
Forage Legumes: Alfalfa Forage Legumes: Grasses with nutritional balance

Determining Jurisdiction
Nursing HomeworksWHAT PRIMARY LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR STATUTES HAVE BEEN VIOLATED BY LACK OF ATTENTION TO CONTROLS, LEADING TO SERIOUS BREACH OF SECURITY?
John Miller is the information security and privacy officer of a local county-owned teaching hospital. He is new to his position and began his work by evaluating the existing security and privacy controls that are in place in the institution. He is also new to information security, having only recently graduated with a BS in information security with professional experience as an active-directory administrator for two years. This work with active directory created his interest in pursuing a position in the field of security. Because he has most experience in the area of account management, user creation and management, groups, roles and group policy, these are the areas where he began his work. He found literally hundreds of idle accounts indicating that users are created but are not properly discontinued when medical students, nursing students, and other employees move on and no longer need access to the data collected and stored by the hospital. This discovery inspired him to begin digging into other aspects of the security controls, and he found evidence of malware on the servers that house the data collected and stored for use by the hospitals clinical systems. His next discovery was the most alarming. The objective of the malware that had deeply infested the hospital systems was to package and transmit all available data to a remote host located in North Korea. John is clearly in over his head at this point and needs to act quickly to resolve this situation and stop the flow of personally identifiable health information to an unauthorized third party.
Use the study materials and any additional research needed to fill in knowledge gaps. Then discuss the following:
What primary laws, regulations, or statutes have been violated by this lack of attention to controls, leading to this serious breach of security?
What channels of communication should John enlist to assist him in resolving this matter, and in what order should those communication sources be contacted?
What tools and any supporting resources are available to John to determine the breadth of the breach and the mitigations available to secure those assets?

Is the pneumococcal vaccine a whole bacterium vaccine?
Nursing HomeworksIs the pneumococcal vaccine a whole bacterium vaccine? Who should receive this vaccine and why is it so important for that particular group to get the vaccine?
The pneumococcal vaccine is composed of segments of the Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria, and not the entire bacteria. The most commonly given form of pneumococcal vaccine is the polysaccharide vaccine. This vaccine contains a variety of isolated polysaccharides that are distinct to different pneumococcal forms that cause a B-cell mediated immune response (without the help of T-cells) and therefore is only recommended for those who have functioning immune systems, and is generally ineffective in children younger than 2 years old whose immune systems are immature. The other form of the vaccine is the conjugated vaccine. This also contains specific polysaccharides but they are bonded to a diphtheria toxoid protein, which causes a strong immune response but is non-toxic. This vaccine is recommended for children younger than 2 because it is capable of inducing a strong immune response.
Pneumococcal vaccines are recommended for children younger than 2 years old, adults older than 65, or anyone else that is immune compromised or at risk of complications such as those with chronic heart, liver, or lung disease. These individuals have a more difficult time fighting the disease and are much more susceptible to death. In 2013 there were 56,832 pneumonia-related deaths in the U.S.
