The preceding infection commonly appears as an upper respiratory infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, or strep throat. Antibodies to the streptococcus organisms form and then react with connective tissue called collagen in the skin, joints, brain, and heart…

Discussion The research methods in the studies reviewed improved in sophistication and clarity over time from 2011 to 2016. Three of the studies determined that antibiotics resulted in a risk for increased BMI in boys but not in girls (Ajslev et al., 2011; Azad et al., 2014; Murphy, et al., 2014). In general, repeated exposures to antibiotics (Saari et al., 2015; Schwartz et al., 2016; Scott et al., 2016) or broad-spectrum antibiotics (Bailey et al., 2014), in particular macrolides (Saari et al…

Group A streptococci infections are extracellular gram-positive infections that cause pharyngitis, impetigo, rheumatic fever, and can cause acute glomerulonephritis (Cunningham, 2000). Strep infections are common among in children among the age of five through 15 and is rarely seen in children under three (CDC, 2016). The transmission of strep is usually from person…

1. After long term exposure to altitude, the body makes several adjustments in order to perform physical activity in the hypoxic condition. A) What chronic adaptations are most beneficial for performance at altitude? When one goes into high altitudes their immediate response are somewhat negative the increase in ventilation, decrease in carbon dioxide, respiratory alkalosis, being in a hypoxic state and many more. However, when having an exercise performance such as the winter Olympics one…

Case study 1 Mr I is suffering from seasonal influenza as he shows symptoms including sneezing, headache, muscle ache, malaise, dry, chesty cough, fever, fatigue and weakness because he can hardly sit up.

Background: Francisella tularensis (F.tularensis) is the etiological microorganism for tularemia. There are different forms of tularemia such as respiratory tularemia. Respiratory tularemia is the most severe form of tularemia with a high rate of mortality; if not treated. Therefore, traditional microbiological tools and Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) are not useful for a rapid, reliable, accurate, sensitive and specific diagnosis. But, DNA microarray technology does. DNA microarray technology…
