Primary amoebic meningoencephalitis

NAEGLARIA FOWLERI: THE BRAIN EATING AMOEBA? Primary amebic meningoencephalitis (PAM) is a devastating yet rare hemorrhagic infection of the brain caused by Naeglaria Fowleri, the only know amoeba to infect humans. PAM is associated with a rapid onset even in healthy individuals, who have been swimming in freshwater such as swimming pools, lakes and streams. For this reason, it has the potential to be an outbreak in New Zealand. Naeglaria Fowleri is only able to infect individuals through entering the navel passages, from here they attach to the nasal mucosa, which allows the amoeba to travel through cribriform plate using the olfactory nerves, resulting in access to the frontal lobe. The result of which is a sudden onset of bi-frontal or…

For example in Uganda 90 out of 100 children of the poorest households who…

I remember when I was in Elementary School and every day we had time to do music, art, and/or theater both in class and as an extra elective. I know that personally for me this was my favorite part of each day when I was able to have a bit more freedom and express myself the way I wanted to through the arts. Every day this is what my classmates and I looked forward to, every lesson we got to use the arts or every time we went to our electives we loved learning and remembered what we learned…

In September of 1969, I was five years old, and I started to attend kindergarten. This was the first school year for the newly organized Mid-Valley School District. The new proper name of our school was the Olyphant Elementary School, but we commonly referred to it as the Mid-Valley Elementary School in Olyphant. My classroom was in the part of the building that used to be the Olyphant Central School; the part that was dedicated in 1910. This was the same school building in which my…

My primary prevention would introduce a school bus system. So students are afforded the opportunity to attend school without any barriers. Due to lack of finances to facilitate transportation to and from school many students stayed home to help their parents take care of their younger siblings, while the most adult person in the family would venture out to work. The less fortunate are being marginalized, and not afforded the quality of education desired because of their financial status.…

Should intelligence be fixed, everyone would carry on at the same rate of learning so would all require the same level of teaching. This allowed children in the Secondary Modern schools to be taught less, as there was no expectation for them to excel further then what had been predicted. Also, children in Grammar schools were expected to improve at the same rate as in Primary Education, resulting in pressure being put on those who may have struggled at higher levels. Due to the faith in the…

When marketing, it is important to know whether color and location affect a person’s decision to take the product or not. Previous studies have looked at the effect that color and location has had on the taking behavior of people. Saito (1996) found that the geographical location and cultural proximity are possible factors for color preference. The study was done in Asian countries with university students. They were asked to rate their three most and least liked colors from a neutral color…

clear images of the subject and focal points throughout the piece. This painting, in particular, was created using oil paint and a variety of painting brushes as the medium to create the realistic effects and details. As for the colors, Chapman seemed to stay in the neutral color spectrum using mainly primary and secondary colors in the painting. Some colors stand out more such as her red and white blouse and the blue background where other colors are cooler and faded such as the grapes she’s…
