Incubation period

Decision making is defined as a mental process leading to the selection of one choice, among several alternatives (Beach, 1993). It is thought that the unconscious mind is optimally designed for decision making (DM), due to its limitless capacity and ability to integrate vast amounts of information; while the conscious mind has a limited capacity and is more subjectively driven by expectancies and schemas; lacking characteristics needed for optimal DM. Consciousness is defined as a mental state…

teens, ages 13 to 19, increased by 25 percent (Samuels 13). Adolescents account for less than one percent of cases of AIDS nationally, but 21 percent of individuals diagnosed with the HIV disease are 20 to 29 years old (Samuels 13). The long incubation period of the virus suggests that a very large portion of these people was infected with it in their teens (Samuels 13). Also one million teenage girls, or one in ten, become pregnant every year (Samuels 12). Eight out of 10 teenage pregnancies…

There is a myriad of oral antibiotics that can be taken for a 7-day period and have a 97% cure rate. Azithromycin may be taken daily at a 1 gram dose for 7 days. Doxycycline, a more affordable antibiotic than azithromycin, may be taken twice daily at a 100-milligram dose for 7 days (Singh, Marshall, 2016). Alternative 7…

Lassa Fever There are hundreds of different infectious diseases that affect people all across the world. Some infectious diseases effect the human body more severely than others. They can even wipe out an entire community or continent in months. It is important to acknowledge specific viruses and diseases in specific parts of the world that could be in your area or a potential area you want to visit or move to in the future. One disease that exists in a specific part of the world is called…

Hooded Plover digs a shallow hole in sand or fine gravel situated above the high-tide ocean beaches or among dunes. The normal amount of chicks is one or two eggs hatch after about 30 days and then leaves the nest within a one to two days. Its incubation period is longer than that of other Australasian-breeding plovers (Bird Life Australia, NA). The reasons behind this species become endangered is because they; Do not…

Assessment Task 1 CASE STUDIES Learning outcomes measured: Describe the diverse groups of microorganisms associated with the human body, the impact of specific microorganisms on human health, and the body's responses to microbial pathogens Research and interpret the signs and symptoms of disease, the transmission of infectious diseases, and the appropriate infection control procedures to employ for a specific microbial pathogen Length: Short answer responses up to 300 words per question…

CJD also has a long incubation period of up to 30 years. In familial CJD, symptoms typically do not appear until the second half of life, when the gene may have already been passed unknowingly to offspring. Symptoms also vary depending on the type of CJD a patient has (Helpguide)…

received adequate prenatal care. Tina was delivered through cesarean section. She was born with Pneumothorax, air-pockets outside of her lungs. The air had to be removed from the chest cavity by use of a needle. Due to this, Tina required an incubation period of seven days, where she received oxygen and antibiotics. As an infant, occasionally, when Tina was rocked she quit breathing. Doctors reported this was related to her lung development. Tina has met all developmental milestones at the…

Some fishes and reptiles lack sex chromosomes altogether. In these groups sex is determined by non-genetic factors such as temperature and behaviour. In crocodiles, many turtles and lizards, the incubation temperature of the nest determines the sex ratio, by indirectly activating/suppressing genes that direct development of the animals’ sex organs. Evidence suggests that temperature regulates the expression of the DMRT1 gene, which is expressed in…

Clostridium Botulinum Clostridium Botulinum is a single celled bacteria and has organelles, not bounded by a membrane. They are asexual and reproduce by binary fission. It belongs to Kingdom Bacteria because it has peptidoglycan in its cell wall. It is unicellular and lack nucleus. It is obligate anaerobe as well as have ability to produce by spore so it falls under Phylum Firmicutes. It is classified in class Clostridia and further in order Clostridiales due to its spore forming ability. It is…
