> * Game 7, Round 2 - Science - Medical Eponyms, Mostly Tests
This was the hardest round in the original game.
> 1. Developed by an anaesthesiologist, this test is administered
> to newborns. Five criteria are examined: appearance, pulse,
> grimace, activity, and respiration. Name the test.
Apgar. 4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua.
I've left 5 Easy Pieces' wording of the question alone, but what
they called a list of "five criteria" is really a *mnemonic* for
the criteria -- derived by reinterpreting the eponym as an acronym!
In her original 1952 paper, Virginia *Apgar* identified the five
criteria as: heart rate, respiratory effort, reflex irritability,
muscle tone, color... or in the terms of the mnemonic, "prgaa".
> 2. These contractions, also known as prodromal labor, are typically
> felt in the second and third trimester of pregnancy and can
> indicate dehydration in the mother. What are they called?
Braxton Hicks. (Both words required; I accepted "Branston".)
4 for Calvin, Dan Blum, and Joshua.
> 3. Cheyne-Stokes breathing is a pattern of respiration characterized
> by a period of absent breathing followed by rapid breathing.
> It can occur in individuals with neurological or serious
> conditions. Under what circumstances could a healthy person
> experience this breathing pattern?
Being at a high elevation. I'm also accepting sleep apnea, because
it was accepted in the original game, although it doesn't exactly
fit with "healthy person". 4 for Calvin.
> 4. Two types of aphasia -- the loss of the ability to produce
> language -- are named for the neurologists who discovered the
> regions of the brain where language is centred. In one the
> patient has difficulty producing words, especially connected
> speech; in the other the difficulty is in understanding words.
> Name either.
Broca, Wernicke. 4 for Dan Blum.
> 5. The Coombs test is a blood test often performed on the blood
> of pregnant women and donated blood samples before transfusion.
> What does it test for?
Blood type/compatibility. (Also accepting autoimmune blood diseases.)
> 6. Schirmer's test was developed by a German ophthalmologist
> and involves a piece of paper inserted in the lower eye pouch.
> What does it diagnose?
Dry eye. (Also accepting dehydration, corneal ulcers, eye infection,
Vitamin A deficiency, and Sjögren's syndrome.)
> 7. This test involves naming the color of a printed word that
> names a different color -- for example, the word RED printed in
> blue ink -- under various conditions. It is used to diagnose
> attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression,
> dementia, and other neuro-cognitive deficits. Name the test.
Stroop test. 4 for Dan Blum.
> 8. This neurological scale is used as an objective way of recording
> a patient's state of consciousness. It is based on eye, verbal,
> and motor response and is typically used in the ICU or ER.
> Part of its name is that of the city and university where
> it was developed by Graham Teasdale and Bryan J. Jennett.
> Either name that city or give the rest of the name.
Glasgow coma scale.
> 9. The Babinski sign is a reflex that is elicited in infants by
> stroking the bottom of the foot. When seen in an adult, what
> does this test typically indicate?
Brain or spinal-cord damage. I accepted "nerve damage". 4 for
Dan Blum, Dan Tilque, and Pete.
> 10. The Mantoux screening test is widely used to diagnose exposure
> to this common disease, which is asymptomatic in many cases but
> can be deadly in its active form if untreated. Most health-care
> workers have the test annually. What disease?
Tuberculosis.
> * Game 7, Round 3 - Sports - Partial Team Logos
> Please see the handout at:
>
http://www.eskimo.com/~scs/msb/G7R3/teams.jpg
> Each illustration shows *part* of the logo of a team in either
> major-league baseball, the National Basketball Association,
> the National Football League, or the National Hockey League.
> We'll tell you which sport and you must name the team. In all cases
> the *full name* is required (for example, "Toronto Argonauts").
And this was the easiest round.
> I've rearranged the questions in order by image number. There were
> 15 decoys, which are now interspersed with the rest. Answer the
> decoys if you like for fun, but for no points. Note: one of the
> decoys is an out-of-date logo that later changed because the team
> changed its name, but if you answer that one, you need to give
> the full name *as it was* when that logo was in use.
