    Running Head: RESPONSES TO PEERS 1

    Quality work
    The document contains responses to two peers' posts. The first response discusses a case where a patient complained of food poisoning but was diagnosed with colon cancer based on abdominal symptoms. CT scans can help confirm colon cancer stage, though most cases are diagnosed late. The second response discusses hemophilia pathophysiology based on a provided patient history. Genetics and gender are key factors for hemophilia due to X-linked inheritance patterns. Maintaining hemostasis through coagulation pathways is important to prevent spontaneous bleeding in hemophilia patients.

    First Response: Nadege Zebaze

    Hi Nadege.

    I am really impressed by your enlightening post on factors that influence disease. Although there

    are numerous factors that influence diseases, physical examination by a qualified clinician can

    help in determining the underlying causes of a disease. In the patient history that you provided,

    the patient complained of food poisoning, but was diagnosed with colon cancer. In most cases,

    people who suffer from colon cancer complain of abdominal symptoms, which prompt clinicians

    to carry out colonoscopy, owing to the suspicion of colon cancer (Vega, Valentín & Cubiella,

    2015). CT scan can help in confirming the stage of colon cancer. Although surgery offer the best

    option in the treatment of colon cancer in early cases, most patients are only diagnosed when the

    disease is in advanced stage (De Rosa et al., 2015). The malignant cells within the adenoma can

    be detected early, but it takes quite long to penetrate the submucosa, thus, making hard to detect

    colon cancer early.

    Second Response: Adaeze Nwankwo

    Hi Adaeze.

    Thank you for your detailed and insightful post on the pathophysiology of hemophilia. Based on

    the patient history that you provided, the patient could be had developed hemophilia, and the

    coagulation pathway is necessary in this case to prevent spontaneous bleeding.

    The coagulation pathway helps in keeping hemostasis, which is an accumulation of platelets that

    develop a plug where endothelial cells have been exposed (Chaudhry & Babiker, 2018).

    Two essential patient factors that influence hemophilia are genetics and gender, which are

    closely linked through an X-linked recessive pattern. While most cases of hemophilia are

    inherited, the genetics of hemophilia affects disease severity, inhibitor development, as well as

    preconception testing (Hoots, Shapiro & Heiman, 2019). Having more X chromosomes can help

    in preventing hemophilia, as long as there is one normal X chromosome to create clotting factors

    after activation.
