been expressing this symptom? Does he have a past history of Asthma, liver disease, glaucoma, chronic bronchitis? • Do he have any allergies to any medications? • Were any other medications prescribed or recommended? • Did he ever have an upper respiratory infection in the past? If so, what medication was prescribed to him? • Did he receive his flu vaccination this year? • If it is bacterial, did the doctor prescribe antibiotics? • Provided…

This essay will focus on Surgical site infections (SSIs) which is defined as “an SSI is an infection related to an operative procedure that occurs at or near the surgical incision within 30 days of the procedure” (Diaz & Newman 2015, p. 63). The reason for selecting this topic is that despite making a great effort, SSIs are still a challenging problem for medical professionals, and patients’ own microbial flora are a main cause of SSIs (Srinivas et al. 1025, p. 1379). Therefore, disinfectants…

Respiratory infections are a major global health burden. The emergence and spread of drug-resistant respiratory tract pathogens, particularly Mycobacterium tuberculosis, has aggravated the current situation. High dose delivery of drugs to the lung using a dry powder inhaler (DPI) is an emerging approach to combat drug-resistant local infections. To achieve high dose delivery, highly aerosolizable powders are required. We hypothesized that co-spray-drying kanamycin, a hydrophilic hygroscopic…

structure of the avian respiratory system is very different from the mammalian lung and some of these differences support more efficient gas exchange, whereas others may be alternative evolutionary solutions to common problems in air breathing vertebrates. Generally, the respiratory system acts as a servant to the rest of the organism by delivering enough oxygen and removing sufficient carbon dioxide for metabolic demands. As oxygen demand increases, a variety of respiratory responses ensure an…

be the means of bodily fluids. In many instances, bacterial meningitis develops when bacteria get into the bloodstream from the sinuses, ears, or other part of the upper respiratory tract. The bacteria then travel through the bloodstream…

administration is associated with increased postoperative infection rate, causing longer hospital stays and time to recovery.6 Allogenic transfusions may induce immunosuppression, thus making patients more susceptible to surgical site infections, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia.2 In addition, septicemia due to bacterial contamination of red blood cell units results in death in over 60% of affected patients.5 Transfused patients are also at an increased risk of developing infections…

Gylys and Wedding (2013, p 122) stated, “that the pharynx serves as a passageway to the respiratory and GI tract and provides a resonating chamber for speech sounds.” In order to keep the respiratory tract free from food particles that pass into the esophagus there is a flap of connective tissue called the epiglottis that shuts the trachea off when we are swallowing to prevent choking. The trachea…

Lungs: The lungs take in oxygen from the trachea and supply it to the nonoxygenated blood. There are two large lobes of lungs found on both sides of the heart and underneath the rib cage. The lungs help with oxygenation, so they are part of the respiratory system. Esophagus: The esophagus is in charge of bringing food down from the mouth and leading it to the stomach. It is located in the thoracic cavity underneath the trachea and appears much less firm than the trachea. The esophagus belongs…

Name of Disease Pertussis, also commonly called Whooping Cough Description of Disease (taxonomic classification, and picture of pathogen Pertussis aka Whooping cough is a highly contagious respiratory disease caused by the bacterium Bordetella pertussis from the Betaproteobacteria class and Alcaligenaceae family Scientists have found eight species in the Bordetella genus, and of those eight, three of them are known to be pathogenic to humans. The most common are B. pertussis and B.…
