Viral hemorrhagic fever

the Black Death originated in China or Central Asia and spread to south-east Europe, while others believe that it was an endemic that started in Crimea, and another viewpoint held by a couple of scientist believe the black death was in fact a viral hemorrhagic…

animals. People can become contagious at the outset of a fever but are most contagious with the onset of a rash. They stay contagious as long as they have scabs. Smallpox is a viral infection that is highly contagious and has a high mortality rate. It comes in 4 different versions Variola major causes 90 percent of infections and has a mortality rate of 30 percent. Variola minor is rare and has a mortality rate of 1%. Flat and hemorrhagic smallpox is almost usually…

protocols are in place, there are always instances where blood from a patient splashes onto a nurse’s bare skin, mouth, nose, or eyes (Rim et al., 2014). This exposure puts nurses at risk of contracting life-threatening disease such as Hepatitis, viral hemorrhagic fever, and even HIV. Nurses also have contact higher with infected individuals (Lowenstein, 2013). This increases the chances of them getting infections such as the flu. In addition to biohazards, nurses are exposed to chemicals on a…

defined as “a sudden loss of brain functioning from a disruption of blood supply to a part of the brain causing temporary or permanent loss of movement, thought, memory, speech, or sensation”(Belleza, 2016, p. 1). CVA is categorized as ischemic or hemorrhagic. Hypertension accounts for the majority of ischemic CVAs or strokes. According to the American Heart Association, ischemic strokes are “caused by narrowed or clogged blood vessels in the brain that cut off the blood flow to the brain…

This paper will discuss topics pertaining to HIV/AIDs that include issues such as: the percentage of population affected by the disease; historical outbreaks, its approaches, and controlled; objectives and goals the public has implemented to control the disease; the governments influence to minimize the disease; suggested measures to help decrease health risk; and a plan allowing the public to notice such pathogens that are related to the cause of the disease and other health problems.…

Why We Shouldn’t Panic About Ebola Ebola or hemorrhagic fever is a virus, which has a high rate of killing people. The virus attacks every cell in the body leading to organ failure and death. There is no known cure at this time. In West Africa the current outbreak is the worst it 's ever been, but this is not the first. The first was in 1976, two cases appeared in Zaire, Sudan, and other in Samburu, Democratic Republic of Congo. The virus was named after the Ebola River in the village where it…

of the world. Each year about 100,000 cases of congenital rubella syndrome occur. Rates of disease have decreased in many areas including the Americas as a result of vaccination. Rash beginning on the face which spreads to the rest of the body. Low fever of less than 38.3 °C (101 °F), posterior cervical lymphadenopathy. In older children and adults additional symptoms may be present including:swollen glands, coryza (cold like symptoms), aching joints (especially in young women). Serious problems…

been popularly implemented to provide a complete picture of the genetic architecture of resistance. The lines being used also have complete genome sequences, so all the genetic polymorphisms in the genome can be tested for an association with the viral infection. Afterwards, the research will be coupled with functional study to test the the importance of the variants by reducing the gene expression through RNAi or mutating the genes using…

Lung transplantation is a complex surgical procedure that a diseased lung is removed and replaced with a donor lung through anastomosis. In context of transplantation, a patient will receive either a single or bilateral lung transplant from a deceased donor. The current concern for lung transplantation is the shortage of lungs donor. Fortunately, some cases could be relieved by receiving donation from living donors. This procedure involved the removal of one lower lobes of lungs each from two…

Bioterrorism is the use of biological agents as weapons of terror in order to cause fear among the general public, and this form of terrorism can have some short term and long term effects as it has the capability of being quite destructive. As a result of bioterrorist attacks, people can die, economies can be severely damaged, and the environment can be ruined. In addition, bioterrorist attacks have happened before within the United States of America, and one of the best examples is the anthrax…
