Sexually transmitted disease

Rotavirus (RV) - This disease is for infants. The disease rotavirus causes watery diarrhea, vomiting, and fever. This can lead to dehydration and hospitalization. I would not consider getting this vaccine as it only benefits babies. Pneumococcal Vaccination (PCV) - The vaccine helps to prevent pneumococcal disease which is an infection caused by streptococcus pneumonia bacteria. This can cause sepsis and then result in organ failure, tissue damage or even death. Currently, I do not plan on…

Introduction Do infectious diseases pose a big global health threat? Infectious diseases have been around for centuries and each year we discover new outbreaks around the world. One of our primary goals in global health is to prevent the spread of disease by adopting new technologies and providing primary prevention health education to ensure people live a prolonged life. Communicable diseases such as foodborne diseases do not only spread within a country, but can also easily transcend borders…

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD). Treponema pallidum is that bacteria that causes syphilis. Treponema pallidum is a gram negative bacteria which is spiral in shape. The virulent strain of T. pallidum was first isolated in 1912 from a neurosyphilic patient by Hideyo Noguchi, a Japanese bacteriologist. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease but transmission can also occur between mother and child in utero, this is called congenital syphilis. Syphilis was first discovered in…

According to the CDC there are around 200,000 reported cases of syphilis in the United States each year. Syphilis can be hard to detect since it often has the same symptoms as other diseases. In order to detect the disease, it is important to be informed about syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted bacterial infection. The bacterial infection is caused by the bacterium treponema pallidum. Treponema pallidum belongs to the Spirochaetaceae family, and is a spirochete bacterium.…

after one hour a single bacterium could have reproduced to give eight bacteria. 2.2 Explain the ways an infective agent might enter the body Contact: Some diseases spread through direct contact with infected skin, mucous membranes, or other body fluids. Diseases transmitted will include cold sores (herpes) and sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Pathogens can also be spread by indirect contact e.g. Someone infected touches a surface such as a doorknob, countertop,…

also would not be plagued with the common genetic disease that the rest of the population would have to deal with. Also in Source A it states “Sooner or later, as the most glaring genetic liabilities will drift toward the bottom of the socioeconomic scale,” This evidence shows that as time goes by the genetic problems such as ADHD would only affect the people who are lower class. If the people of lower class are plagued with these genetic diseases that the rich aren 't’ then not only will the…

soldiers died in the line of duty. Two-thirds of these didn’t die from wounds. They died from diseases such as typhoid and dysentery. Civil War medicine was not yet advanced enough to connect a lack of hygiene with an influx of disease. Lack of hygiene in hospitals and camps also contributed to the spread of disease. Placing a latrine downstream away from the clean water supply was sometimes also overlooked. Disease spread more quickly due to the foul water supply. The main killer during the…

The study also concluded that there was no correlation between the administrative costs and quality, so the U.S. did not perform better than other nations even though it has spent more (Himmelstein et al 2014). Moreover, the fee-for-service model gives health care professionals an incentive to conduct extensive tests and unnecessary services in order to get extra payments. According to the Bipartisan Policy report, FFS incorporates high technology to medical practices whether or not they are…

In the late 1900s scientists were able to describe a rare congenital genetic disease called “1p36” for the first time. Later, in 2001, a girl named Sonia was born; two weeks after her birth, she had heart failure and her parents had to take her to the hospital due to low vital signs; that was the first time doctors noticed that there was something wrong with her. A couple of days later, they realized that not only her heart wasn’t functioning properly, but she had low muscle tone, and seizures.…

My internship is at UC Davis Medical Center in the Clinical Social Services Department. This semester, the interns are doing rounds in the hospital. What that means is that each week, I am in a different unit of the hospital shadowing a Social Worker and taking cases if I feel comfortable. With that being said, I have not had the opportunity to have a client for a long period of time. Next semester, I will have to chose one or two units that I want to work in and that is where I will have my own…
