Conjunctiva

putrefaciens is naturally found in the environment all throughout nature, but are commonly found within soil or within a water environment. Shewanella putrefaciens has only been isolated from such clinical materials as various body wounds, feces, conjunctiva, urine, CSF, bile, ascitic fluid, pleural fluid, and stored blood. Putrefaciens has been isolated from fish, chicken,meat, fresh and salt water. The major risk factor of S. putrefaciens infection is hepatobiliary disease, peripheral vascular…

Referred to as “a forgotten disease of a forgotten people” by Paul Emerson, Director of the Trachoma Control Program at the Carter Center in Atlanta, Georgia; trachoma is a hyperendemic of preventable blindness in the world. Trachoma is an ocular infection caused by intercellular parasite Chlamydia trachomatis. It thrives in dirty atmospheres with close proximities since the disease is spread by contact of infected eye and nose discharge through hands, towels and flies. Most of the risk…

a) Causes Conjunctivitis is the inflammation of the conjunctiva, which is the outermost layer of the white part of the eye and the inner eyelid (Stevens, 2008). Conjunctivitis can be caused from many sources. These include bacteria, viruses and irritations. Irritations can be caused from allergic reactions to various things such as pollen and grass, irritation can also be caused from foreign objects in your eye such as chemicals (Durning, 2013). Unlike irritation, bacterial and viral…

Dry eye is defined as a “multifactorial disease of the tears and ocular surface that results in symptoms of a lack of comfort, visual troubles, and tear film instability with possibility damage to the ocular surface.(1)The Risk factors for dry eye disease are High level of evidence is about Age, Female sex, Postmenopausal estrogen therapy, Antihistamines, Collagen vascular disease, Corneal refractive surgery, Irradiation, Hematopoietic stem call transplantation, Vitamin A deficiency, Hepatitis C…

Measles vaccination is the most effective way of preventing this disease. Though John Enders discovered the very first measles vaccination, using a killed virus wasn`t effective enough. In 1967, Maurice Hilleman advanced Enders` discovery by using a weakened live virus in the formula (“For Healthcare Professionals”, 2015). This attenuated vaccine is usually mixed with Mumps and Rubella to give protection against three kinds of viruses. Two doses of MMR are offered. While the first dose gives…

vasoconstricting, intraocular pressure-reducing, and bronchodilating activities. By stimulating vascular alpha-adrenergic receptors, epinephrine causes vasoconstriction, thereby increasing vascular resistance and blood pressure. When administered in the conjunctiva, this agent binds to alpha-adrenergic receptors in the iris sphincter muscle, resulting in vasoconstriction, a decrease in the production of aqueous humor, and a lowering of intraocular pressure. Through its beta1…

Assessing Mr. McKinley for vitamin and mineral deficiencies such as zinc (sparse, dry and dull hair; folliculitis, leukonychia), vitamin A (eye roughness, dryness, or foamy spots), calcium (brittle nails) iron (pale conjunctiva, cracks on lips, pale and/or ridging nailbeds), folate (pale conjunctiva, sore, reddened tongue) and/or a B12 deficiciency (sore, reddened tongue) is also essential. Anthropometrics, including weight, body fat percentage and circumference differences over time will help…

your eyes. The skin around your eyes, including your eyelids, is the thinnest and most sensitive skin on your body which means that it wrinkles more easily. Sun damage can cause the thin membrane covering the white of your eye, to thicken. If the conjunctiva thickens and grows over your cornea it can be terrible for your vision. If the macula, a part of your retina, deteriorates it can…

The MMR (mumps, measles, and rubella) vaccine is extremely safe and effective and is the primary means of avoiding a mumps infection, Mumps got into the body through the pharynx or the conjunctiva to affect their disease. Mumps mostly affects the parotid glands, it could also affect other areas of their body like the brain of the people that had mumps. Mumps occurring most frequently between the ages of 5 to 9, and The mumps vaccine is are…

INTRODUCTION In this assignment we are going to elaborate on the role of aqueous humor and vitreous humor in maintaining the pressure of the globe, the structures related to the humor, functions of the humors, origin and also pathology related to them. PHYSIOLOGY OF THE AQUEOUS HUMOR The aqueous humour is a transparent fluid similar to plasma, but containing low protein concentrations. It is secreted from the ciliary epithelium (a structure supporting the lens). It is located in the…
