Q: Estimate the probability that a patient taking the drug will experience flu symptoms.?
In a clinicla trial of Lipitor (atorvastatin), a common drug used to lower cholesterol, one group of patients was given a treatment of 10-mg atorvastatin tablets. That group consists of 19 patients who experienced flu symptoms and 844 patients who did not (based on data from Pfizer, Inc.). Is it “unusual” for a patient taking the drug to experience flu symptoms?

A: The probability estimate, given 19 w/flu and 844 w/o,

19/863 (total group) = .0220 or 2.2%

844/863 = 97.8%

I would say unusual.

Q: Need help Probability HW help. ?
Heres the chart:
Total subjects: 100
Number of Headaches: 80
Number of No Headaches: 20
# of Headaches treated with 10 Mg atorvastatin: 15
# of Headaches Treated with Placebo: 65
# of No Headaches Treated with 10 mg Atorvastatin: 17
# of No Headaches Treated with Placebo: 3

HW problem:

If one subject is randomly selected, find the probablity that he or she had a headache, given that the subject was treated with 10 mg of Atorvastatin

The answer is .469. I dunno how that is figured out

A: Well, you need to put 15 ( # of subjects with headache on Atv.) Then add both head aches and no headaches of the Atorvastatin. That equals 32 (15+17=32) then divide 15 by 32, and that is .46875, or .469

Good luck, :]

A: there’s two possibilities here, you mom has a serious heart condition and should see a cardiologist, or she is having panic attacks and should see a psychiatrist. just remember she is an adult and responsible for her own well being, that isn’t your job, it’s hers.

On the above details I would like to know how far i have to take the medicines and what r the precuations for future. I had a irregular smoking habit, quit after 25.07.2005. Now i am having low cholestrol/fat diet and with 90 ml alchohol twice in a month. is alchohol in permissibe limits. what type alchohol is suitable. I have regular sex. I go for walking 30 mins. and play badminton twice a week. No discomfort during the physical activities. no satisfactory ans from doctor

A: I would suggest asking a doctor, but it appears you’ve already done so. To call it safe, I’d stay off the alcohol as much as possible. You have plenty of recreation to stay healthy, but that doesn’t completely prevent a reoccuring issue. As for the medication, that is definitely a doctor issue that I wouldn’t take advice from off this page.

A: MR angio is famous for not well visualising the lower extremity arteries in detail.

Without seeing the angios, it hard to tell if an endovascular procedure would work. It might be worth it to get a standard angiogram (after proper premedication and hydration). This would provide the interventionalist with badly needed info. If there is significant stenosis in the aorto-iliac vessels, it might be treated with stents.

One possiblity is athrectomy using a device called the Silver Hawk.

However, this isn’t always possible/successful.

A bypass would only work if there are good target vessels below the SFAs.

Difficult situation. Best of luck.
