Viral diseases

Ebola Virus has affected many people across the across the world, specifically West Africa. In 2014, West Africa had a major outbreak, resulting in thousands of people dying. There are many health impacts on this disease, and many people have been trying to destroy this terrible disease, as well as ways to prevent it. In 1976, there were three outbakes of the Ebola Virus, one in Nzara, one in South Sudan and one in Yambuku. The Ebola virus got its name from the first outbreak occurring near…

Ebola and Marburg seem to have a very strong connection to animals. Charles Monet, who was the index case for Marburg, was surrounded by animals everywhere he went; monkeys lived near his house and he even fed them out of his hand (Preston 8). There is strong evidence that he could have received Marburg from one of the monkeys. The monkeys that commonly carried Marburg were from Uganda (Preston 40). It appears that wherever monkeys go, Marburg and Ebola are not far behind. Not only are…

Ebola is a very sever virus that has the power to wipeout a population in the matters of days. Ebola was first discovered in zaire, Africa in 1976. This was a big deal because nobody knew what was happening and how to prevent it, even today we still don't have knowledge to do so. The matter was made worse when the viruses keep spreading because people had contact with the sick and they had no clue that was what was passing it around. This is supported by the fact the ebola has the ability to…

Modes of infectious disease transmission Infectious diseases are contagious contra -indications towards beauty treatments, created by organisms such as bacteria, fungi or viruses. The human body carries many living organisms internally and externally that are treatable, although if left undiagnosed the organisms may cause disease. Bacterial Infections, (Impetigo, Conjunctivitis or Styes), Viral Infections (Herpes Simplex, Shingles or Warts), Infestations (Scabbies, Head lice or Pediculosis)…

very dangerous of the course of history. Ever since the discovery of the vaccine for rabies the amount of deaths have been on the decline. Rabies is pretty easy to notice for its symptoms. Rabies is a terrible disease that has been around for a very long time. Rabies is a deadly disease that can be found in wild animals who tend to be carnivores. Rabies in history was known for being transmitted when a wild animal bit a human, but lately rabies is being found in domestic animals as well. Louis…

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…
