If the Hemoccult test result is negative, no further testing is done. If the Hemoccult test result is positive, the individual will have a second stool sample tested with the Hemoccult II test. If this second sample also tests positive for blood, the individual will be referred for more extensive evaluation. What is the effect on net sensitivity and net specificity of this method of screening

Hemoccult test sensitivity is 89.3% and specificity is 92.7%

Explanation:

Hemoccult test is a test that is carried out in order to find out the presence of occult blood in your stool. This method is used to detect colorectal cancer in your body. Blue color of the blood indicate that the test is positive while the green color represents that the test is negative. Test sensitivity is the ability of a test which identify the person who is affected with the disease i. e. true positive, whereas test specificity is the ability of the test to correctly identify the patient without the disease. The value of sensitivity of the Hemoccult test is 89.3% the specificity is 92.7%, and the positive predictive value is 2.5%.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.
