For this assignment, the virus that I chose to research further was the rabies virus, from the genus Lyssavirus. The rabies virus is a single-stranded RNA virus with a cylindrical structure that is covered by a layer of matrix protein. Its lipoprotein envelope is scattered with rabies glycoprotein-carrying trimeric spikes. This glycoprotein envelope can also influence the rabies virus virulence. The article I read also covered the pathology of the rabies virus, prevention strategies, vaccines,…

In the previously described case regarding the 67-year-old Caucasian male, the patient was treated at a tropical disease hospital with a 14-day course of eflornithine (100mg/kg every 6 hours). Following recovery, the patient attended follow up appointments where MRIs showed that even after 18 month of treatment the white cerebral matter (possible inflammation/infection) in brain had not significantly improved (Elliott, Patel, Shah, & Venkatesan, 2014). Therefore, one can conclude that when a…

In 1947, researchers were conducting a study for yellow fever. They did many tests on insects and other wildlife to find signs of yellow fever. While they were doing tests, they stumbled upon a rhesus monkey that had a fever. They ran tests on the money, and the blood samples told them that there was this new virus. Because the scientists were in the Zika forest in Uganda, they decided to name the virus Zika. The Zika virus usually isn’t that harmful. It is like other insect-borne diseases.…

Each part of the human body is susceptible to some kind of disease. Heart disease, Meningitis, and crippling neurological disorders to name a few. The liver is no exception. Hepatitis is the name for inflammation of the liver, and Hep. C is a category of the many forms of liver inflammation. It is a contagious virus existing as an illness that attacks the liver in different ranges of severity throughout one's lifetime (CDC, 2016). The Hepatitis C Virus attacks the liver, is transmitted through…

Ignoring the AIDS Epidemic: An Analysis of the Current Status of the AIDS Epidemic in Angels in America by Thomas Kushner Kushner’s vision of the future for AIDS awareness in American society has not come true in terms of public awareness of the disease. Certainly, the declaration by Prior Walter that “We won’t die secret deaths anymore” is valid in terms of the growth of awareness of the diseases in the 1990 and 2000s (Kushner 282). Yet, the media has increasingly ignored the AIDS epidemic…

Modified Research Paper Have you ever venture to the darkest place in your mind and actually consider taking your life? Even for a split second? Do you know, your own actions can affect those around you? Suicide does not discriminate, it infest the minds of the rich and famous, along with the poorest of the poor. It can also spread through community or a school intuition like a common cold. I’ve been working with children for four years now in a school institution. I’m train to watch out for…

AIDS has the word “acquired” in the name, which means it is obtained but what does that entail? The disease derives from a virus labeled the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Once infected with HIV it causes the body to try and fight the infection yet in doing so only cripples the body's immune system. In time the virus slowly tears down the immune system which makes it much hard to defend itself from the germs it used to be able to protect the body from. Leading to AIDS which is the…

The topic I chose was the Zika Virus, I chose this topic because I think it is an important issue, and I think it is relevant because it affects the entire world. I also think the Zika Virus, wasn’t getting enough media attention, especially compared to other things like the Olympics. I think everyone should be aware of the Zika Virus because it is important to be educated about world issues, and because it could affect them. The techniques I used were gluing, cutting, shape, line, colour. I…

Often times it is impossible to guess a person’s medical diagnosis from just looking at them. Doctors and nurses are able to predict a diagnosis from the information and symptoms that are presented. For non-medical personal some people diagnosis can be completely surprising, while some people could predict certain diagnosis. From the four people introduced their diagnoses were Dementia, ovarian cancer, HIV, and a self-inflicted abdominal wound. More information was given about the four people…
