treatment, care, and prevention of disease can occur.” (Michael Fox).The aims of this research is to present an overview that focus on the etiology, diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary, cardiac and ocular Sarcoidosis. In the area of etiophathogenesis, clinical doctors and researcher have collectively gather a better understanding of the immune response that leads to the disease as well as genetic, environmental and immunopathogenesis that modify both the risk for the disease and its clinical…

Huntington’s Diseases: Huntington disease (HD) is a hereditary, neurodegenerative disease with physical, cognitive and emotional symptoms. Huntington disease is caused by a mutation within the gene that produces the protein known huntingtin. In people with HD, the CAG sequence is repeated too many times at the beginning of the gene. That causes cells to manufacture a harmful protein known mutant huntingtin. The mutant huntingtin protein causes certain parts of the brain to die – specifically the…

also would not be plagued with the common genetic disease that the rest of the population would have to deal with. Also in Source A it states “Sooner or later, as the most glaring genetic liabilities will drift toward the bottom of the socioeconomic scale,” This evidence shows that as time goes by the genetic problems such as ADHD would only affect the people who are lower class. If the people of lower class are plagued with these genetic diseases that the rich aren 't’ then not only will the…

soldiers died in the line of duty. Two-thirds of these didn’t die from wounds. They died from diseases such as typhoid and dysentery. Civil War medicine was not yet advanced enough to connect a lack of hygiene with an influx of disease. Lack of hygiene in hospitals and camps also contributed to the spread of disease. Placing a latrine downstream away from the clean water supply was sometimes also overlooked. Disease spread more quickly due to the foul water supply. The main killer during the…

Moreover, the fee-for-service model gives health care professionals an incentive to conduct extensive tests and unnecessary services in order to get extra payments. According to the Bipartisan Policy report, FFS incorporates high technology to medical practices whether or not they are…

In the late 1900s scientists were able to describe a rare congenital genetic disease called “1p36” for the first time. Later, in 2001, a girl named Sonia was born; two weeks after her birth, she had heart failure and her parents had to take her to the hospital due to low vital signs; that was the first time doctors noticed that there was something wrong with her. A couple of days later, they realized that not only her heart wasn’t functioning properly, but she had low muscle tone, and seizures.…

My internship is at UC Davis Medical Center in the Clinical Social Services Department. This semester, the interns are doing rounds in the hospital. What that means is that each week, I am in a different unit of the hospital shadowing a Social Worker and taking cases if I feel comfortable. With that being said, I have not had the opportunity to have a client for a long period of time. Next semester, I will have to chose one or two units that I want to work in and that is where I will have my own…
