infection may occur in select communities, causing adding risk. Hepatitis B Hepatitis B, which was first reported in 1961, is a common sexually transmitted disease with potentially serious complications, including death. In the United States, HBV leads to an estimated 6,000 deaths annually. HBV is primarily transmitted by blood, although others body fluids such as a semen, or another body fluid from a person infected with the hepatitis B virus can potentially transmit the virus. Exchanges of…

RNA virus classified from the Picornaviridae family. Hepatitis A is one of the most common infectious form of acute viral hepatitis in the world and is highly contagious. The human hepatitis virus occurs in five different forms. There is Hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E all of which are caused by different viruses. Hepatitis A spreads primarily when an uninfected…

contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person. Hepatitis A is one of the most frequent causes of food borne infection. The virus is an infection associated with lack of safe water and poor hygiene. Unlike Hepatitis B and C, Hepatitis A infection does not cause chronic liver disease and is not always fatal, but it can cause debilitating symptoms and fulminant hepatitis (acute liver failure) which is often very fatal. The virus occurs sporadically and in epidemics…

ASSESSMENT - HEPATITIS B OVERVIEW OF HEPATITIS DISEASES Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver (In Latin, hepatitis means “of the liver”) caused either by a toxic substance (viral infection from direct damage e.g. alcohol) or bacterial and viral infection. Hepatitis is a family of viral infections that damage the liver; most common types are Hepatitis A, B and C. About 500 million people globally are infected by one of six hepatitis viruses. Five different viruses - named A, B, C, D, and E…

wound or injury. Where someone who has a minor cut can profusely bleed, and it can get so bad that it could end up making them sick. There are two types of hemophilia, Type A and Type B. Type A: Is the most common type, it is caused by lacking Factor VII, which is one of the proteins to help blood form clots. Type B is caused by lacking Factor IX. Hemophilia is normally diagnosed at birth, it can still be found later in life if your body begins to produce antibodies that attack and destroy…

day, and 5 mg were increased every two weeks up to 40 mg. Researchers started with a dose of 20 mg per day because it is recommended a similar dose or less to prevent risk of QT prolongation, which is a heart rhythm disorder (Drugs.com, n.d). Group B received one session of CBT per day every other day with the same psychotherapist during the complete experiment to avoid any differences within the psychotherapists. Lastly, group C was the group receiving both types of treatments. This group…

fusing its glycoprotein from the envelop with the cell membrane, and releasing its tegument and DNA into the cell[2]. When CMV infect cells, a formation of distinctive inclusion called “owl’s eyes” can be observed through microscopy[1]. Glycoprotein B (gB) of the virion envelope is responsible for fusion of infected cells and host-cell entry and cell-to-cell transmission[3]. Upon infection, viral lytic gene expression induces replication of the DNA and form viral particles[3]. The gene can…

Burkitt’s Lymphoma is a form of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in which cancer starts in the immune system called B-cells. It affects the lymphatic system, which helps your body fight infections. There are two common types: Sporadic and Endemic. The types differ by the parts of the body affected and the geographic location. Cause: The disorder is caused by chromosomal translocations. It is also associated with impaired immunity. The endemic (African) type is linked to the Epstein-Barr virus, HIV, and…

1. The Bronze Age Civilization of the Aegean took place during ca. 3000-1200 B.C.E This time period consisted of two civilizations, the Minoan (ca. 2000-1400 B.C.E.) and the Mycenaean (ca. 1600-1200 B.C.E). On the island of Crete, the Minoan civilization was centered in the palace of Minos at Knossos. This culture was thriving and traveled by sea quiet often. The palace consisted of frescoes demonstrating numerous aspect of Cretan life. Of all the frescoes in the palace the most recognized is…

Knossos is located in Crete, on the largest island off the coast of Greece, 5 kilometers southeast of the city of Heraklion (1). Being nestled within a valley near the river of Kairatos, the river currently flows only partly year-round (1). Yet, during Minoan times when the site was inhabited, the river flowed constantly. Knossos used to be surrounded with cypress and oak trees but has since been turned into acres of vineyards and olive trees (1). Knossos was established during the Bronze Age…
