• Diagnosis of the disease
• Complications, if any
• Treatment and side effects
Conclusion should include the following:
• Brief mention of current or proposed research that may significantly impact the
disease.

• Your insight / opinion
NOTE: you must focus on the anatomy & physiology of the disease/disorder. Cover
the normal anatomy & physiology of the organ system affected and then state what the disease/disorder does to this organ system, and other organ systems. In other words, if
you are picking meningitis, I do not want you to go too much in detail about the
bacteria that causes it but how the bacteria escapes our body’s defenses and what the
bacteria does to other tissues.
