vaccine. Vaccination is the most effective method of preventing infectious diseases; widespread immunity due to vaccination is largely responsible for the worldwide eradication of smallpox and the restriction of diseases such as polio, measles, and tetanus from much of the world. The World Health…

fed for few days then mare will feed. Yearlings would need small amounts of alfalfa and grass and hay and oats. Adults eat about anything you think would be right to feed them, mostly grazing. Tetanus, sleeping sickness, flu, strangles, infectious anemia virus all are common diseases for horses. Tetanus is a bacterial disease marked by rigidity and spasms of the voluntary muscles, makes the horse neck stick and hard to swallow. Four is any of several chiefly viral illnesses marked especially…

Our results were in agreement with the current knowledge of tetanus. At a high enough frequency the muscles was not able to relax between contractions. Thus, that is why there were no significant differences in peaks and troughs at 20 Hz. Our results mean that stimulating skeletal muscles at high enough frequencies results in no relaxation between muscle contractions in functioning organisms. Severe injury or death may occur from tetanus. Skeletal muscle fatigue: At the high stimulus frequency…

Currently only four vaccines are labeled as ‘core’. Eastern/Western Equine Encephalomyelitis (EEE/WEE), Rabies, Tetanus, and West Nile Virus. Eastern and Western Encephalomyelitis is transmitted by mosquitos to horses from wild birds or rodents, which are the reservoirs for the disease. Any horse that is traveling in North America should get this vaccine. It is readily…

Diphtheria, Hepatitis, or a host of other infections" (Ezekiel Emmanuel). Immunizations given throughout childhood have saved millions of lives. Vaccination rates in the U.S. are higher than ever while illnesses and death from Measles, Diphtheria, Tetanus and more are at an all-time low, near "record lows". Immunizations have also protected and saved many adults from serious illnesses like the Flu, Hepatitis and Pneumonia. There are many forms of vaccinations. For instance, you can take them…

1.2.7 RABIES (Hydrophobia) IN MAN Clinical features Once the incubation period is competed and the virus begins to multiply in the central nervous system. Clinical signs appear. It should be noted that once clinical signs of rabies begin, there is no treatment available that will cure the poor victim. Only symptomatic therapy will be done. Death is virtually inevitable. Two major clinical patterns of rabies can be distinguished. One is the furious type and other is dump type. The majority of…

The author of Deadly Choices, Paul Offit, explores from the anti-vaccine movement’s origins through the impacts it has on society today. He argues against anti-vaccination due to the threat it poses not only on our children, but to society as a whole. With the breakthroughs science has had in terms of treating infectious diseases, he claims that there should be close to zero outbreaks of common illnesses. After giving background on vaccines, Offit offers up some solutions, even solutions that…

Vaccines are a double sided sword. The decision of vaccinating or not vaccinating could either save a child’s life or it could put the child in danger. Vaccines have actually been scientifically proven to save roughly 285 children’s lives every hour from preventable diseases. That comes out to be 2.5 million sons and daughters! The Center for Disease Control estimated that 732,000 American children were saved from death and 322 million of childhood illnesses were prevented for the past 22 years.…

a. Penatacel is a combination vaccine that covers Diptheria, haemophilus, influenza B, pertussis, polio, tetanus for infants 2 months old b. Pediarix covers diphtheria, hep B., pertussis, polio, tetanus for ages 6 wk to 6 years c. Kinrix is for ages 4 to 6 and is not recommended D. Proquad is also a combination vaccine however is not recommended at this point because the child is too young. 2. By what route and site should the vaccines be given? (See Table Below) -Pentacel is a vaccine…

sake of our animals, or should we continue in an effort to find cures for deadly and dangerous diseases? So far, animal research and testing has helped save human lives by finding cures and treatments from diseases such as diabetes, polio, rabies, tetanus, and has helped produce antibiotics to fight infections. However, are we taking advantage of our animal friends and to what extend should animal testing be allowed? I believe that animal testing should continue and is necessary for numerous…
