Myalgia

As kids or even now as adults we worry so little of contracting infectious disease, we do not realize that our environment is home to numerous of organisms that are harmful. For example, a single bite of a bug such as a tick can completely change your life. A tick bite can potentially lead to Lyme disease, which can become a severe illness. According to Sanjuna (et al 2018) “about 300,000 new cases per year are recorded world wide” (p.1) turning into the leading cause of tick borne diseases.…

Question 1. Using medical terminology describe the symptoms Mr. B is complaining about. Mr. B has described polydipsia as a feeling of very thirsty and complained polyuria as frequent urination. Question 2. What does HbA1c measure? HbA1c refers to glycated haemoglobin which develops when haemoglobin joins with glucose in the blood, becoming ‘glycated’ (Choudhary& Kishanrao, 2015). The HbA1c test counts the number of glycosylated red blood cells and reports it as a percentage (Little& Sacks,…

Bone is a major component of the human body which provides structural support, protects vital organs, and stores minerals such as calcium. As the body ages, the process of bone remodeling maintains bone mass; however, bone resorption may eventually overcome formation leading to osteoporosis and subsequent musculoskeletal disorders.1 Approximately ten million individuals in the United States, particularly those 60 years of age and older, are diagnosed with osteoporosis each year.2 This condition…

Uncommon AE’s include amnesia, arrhythmia cough, diabetes mellitus, dysgeusia, dyskinesia, dysphagia, hypertension/hypotension, migraine, myalgia, peripheral oedema, rhinitis, sweating, thirst, reflux, muscle cramp, urinary frequency, tremor and vomiting. Modafinil can cause complications involving the liver or red blood cell if there is allergic reactions. Some of the unknown side effects…

Salmonella infection in food is the one of the major causes of foodborne illnesses including fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and nausea. Thus, early detection of Salmonella contamination is important for our healthy life. Conventional detection methods for the food contamination have limitations in sensitivity and rapidity, thus the early phase detection has been difficult. Herein, we developed a bioelectronic nose using a carbon nanotube (CNT) field-effect transistor (FET) functionalized with…

Chlamydia is a pathogen classified as bacteria, and it is an obligated intracellular organism it is lacks of mitochondria, so it does not produce its own energy and depends completely on the host’s cell metabolism (Oligosaccharide that mediated chlamydial infection is identified, 1997). Chlamydia can affect both men and women. Usually, people infected with this germ do not show evidence of symptoms or if they do, they would be mild, and sometimes when complications associated with the disease…

Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) is a member of the Herpesviridae family, that causes two different infections: varicella and herpes zoster. This paper will include information on the history of Varicella Zoster Virus and how to treat it. Most people know varicella as chickenpox, which is a modified version of the previous term: chicken peas. It was previously called chicken peas because the red rash that appear resembles the vesicles of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) or chicken pecks. Red, itchy spots…

One of the leading causes of bacterial meningitis is Neisseria meningitidis, which can be acquired globally. N. meningitidis is normal flora in the human nasopharynx, but if an individual becomes susceptible, it can lead to bacterial meningitis. Incidence of N. meningitidis is strongly influenced by age. Infants have the highest risk for meningococcal disease. Low serum bactericidal antibody levels play a large role in those that are at risk for infection. Those with compromised immune…
