"you can start to feel nauseous or even start to vomit." Lastly, many people tend to lose weight from the disease. It can get to the point where you do not look the same anymore. There are three different viruses of Hepatic Cancer: A,B, and C(Collins English Dictionary). Some of them are not that severe but there is one that is very severe. Since there are three different viruses that also means there are different ways that they form. All have the same symptoms, which sometimes makes it
Theories to address the origins or outcome of Malaria: Theory is a systematic approach that help public health specialist to know situations. Theories can be classified into explanatory and change theories. Explanatory theories give reasons to why a problem exist as it help to identify factors that contribute to the problem and how it can be changed. Some of the examples of the explanatory theories include precaution adoption process model, health belief model and theory of planned behaviour. On
According to this estimate, the percentage of LGBT youth experiencing homelessness is at least three times greater than the percentage of the general LGBT youth population, which is thought to be between 5 and 7% of the overall youth population (Quintana et al., 2010). A disturbingly large percent as many as half of LGBT youths are kicked out of their homes or flee them due to the persistent lack of support of their parents when their child finally works up the courage to inform their sexual orientation
Analysis of TFC A theory is classified as a body of principles, concepts, and/or propositions that explain a phenomenon (Merriam Dictionary, 2017). According to Fawcett and DeSanto-Madeya’s nursing framework, a nursing theory involves an objective detailed explanation which includes assessment of scope, context, and content (Fawcett & DeSanto-Madeya, 2013). Theory Scope In the nursing discipline, concepts and propositions must be examined for quality and comprehensiveness to determine the scope
being replaced by scar tissue. This affects the normal functioning of the liver and usually occurs from years of damage to the liver, resulting in inflammation, scarring and thickening of the fibrous tissues. It is most often a result of chronic hepatitis C or alcoholism, however there are other causes which will be discussed throughout this paper. Why is the liver important? More often than not, a person is born with a healthy, normally functioning liver. The liver is an extremely important organ
HEPATITIS Hepatitis is a disease defined by the inflammation of the liver and characterized by the presence of inflammatory cells in the tissue of the organ. Hepatitis may occur with limited or no symptoms, but often leads to jaundice, poor appetite, and malaise. Hepatitis is acute when it lasts less than six months and chronic when it persists longer. Acute hepatitis can heal on its own, progress to chronic hepatitis, or even cause acute liver failure. Chronic hepatitis may have no symptoms, though
Autoimmune hepatitis is a rare chronic disease and it is lasts for many years. In this disorder liver get long-term inflammation because body’s own immune system attacks the liver. It is important to treat this disease because if not it can lead to cirrhosis and liver failure. 70% of patients with autoimmune hepatitis are women and they are usually between the ages of 15 and 40. It is most common in people that already have other autoimmune diseases. Type 1 diabetes, thyroiditis, ulcerative
Coccidioidomycosis Coccidioidomycosis (also called San Joaquin Valley Fever) is a disease caused by breathing in airborne fungus spores. CAUSES The spores that cause this disease come from the fungus Coccidioides immitis. This fungus only contaminates the soils of certain dry regions in the Western Hemisphere. In the U.S., this includes southwestern Texas and the southern regions of California, Arizona, and New Mexico. This fungus is also relatively common in dry areas in Mexico, Central America
Pathogens are biological agents; generalized as single cellular microorganism that can vary from virus, fungi or bacteria they are commonly the first link to the chain of infection. Through several substrates and pathways these biological agents invade the host and procreate disrupting the normal physiology of the multi cellular organism, resulting in illness or disease. They are so adaptable they can affect unicellular organisms from biological kingdoms. There are thousands of different pathogens
Introduction: Before the education of nurses took place in institutions of third level, nursing evolved into a practice that included teaching and demonstrating healthcare actions to patients, their families, other healthcare workers and the community at a large. (REF). Learning is the process of transforming experiences into knowledge, skills and attitudes, values and feelings. (REF). There are various learning theories that give insight into how a person learns. (REF). Teaching can be defined as
replication, live-cell imaging is studied as a possible method to express. This method will allow scientist to get a better understanding of the significance of the nucleocapsids through fluorescent labeling. Through reverse genetic systems allows virus like Marburg and Ebola proteins to be expressed. However there have been cases that's difficult to see filo viral nucleocapsid properly due to its limited size. Researchers hypothesized that the VP30 an essential protein and a structural component
Hepatitis is the name of a group of viral infections. In medical terminology, Hepatitis, stands for inflammation of the liver. Hepatitis B (HBV) is a contagious virus that causes infection of the liver. The severity of this infection ranges from mild to severe. HBV is a serious condition that could affect people of all ages. If left untreated the disease could be fatal. Acute HBV lasts less than six months. The immune system will likely fight off the virus and will become immune to the virus. Complete
ORAL CHLAMYDIA SYMPTOMS Most persons infected with Chlamydia (oral Chlamydia inclusive) usually do not show or have any outward symptoms in the early stages of the infection. In fact, research has revealed that most persons infected with Chlamydia (including oral Chlamydia) have no symptoms at all and if at all symptoms do appear, it often begins to surface after about two to three weeks after infection. Though the symptoms are usually delayed, oral Chlamydia has symptoms which can be identified
Hepatitis B is a very serious disease, that has taken many people's’ lives. Hepatitis B has a vaccine, but many people don’t have access to it, and if left untreated, it can be fatal. This disease is infectious, but it can be cured and prevented. There are many symptoms, and most of them are pretty serious. To become infected by Hepatitis B, one must come into contact with the blood or other bodily fluids of an infected person. There are quite a few preventive measures you must take, but people still
I agree that entertainment has the capacity to ruin society. Entertainment is everywhere, and there are millions of people around the world every day who are influenced by entertainment. There are commercials and shows on TV, lots of music, radio commercials, comedians and actors, and video games, as well as many more forms of entertainment that reach millions of people daily. Wherever you look, there are bound to be people immersed in some form on entertainment, whether that be games on their cell
M icrobiology laboratory is a branch of medical laboratory. Interested in studying infectious diseases, which is the microorganisms [1]. There are four type of microorganisms that causes infectious disease are bacteria, parasites, fungi and viruses. The microbiology laboratory is study the microorganism that cannot be seen by the eyes [2]. The microbiology laboratory is take a sample from patient to know what type of bacteria or another microorganism a causing the disease, and what the best treatment
Human monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease caused by the monkeypox virus (MPXV), a member of the genus Orthopoxvirus (family Poxviridae, subfamily Chordopoxvirinae), that occurs mostly in the rain forests of central and western Africa. People living in or near the forested areas may have indirect or low-level exposure, possibly leading to subclinical infection. However, the disease recently emerged in the United States in imported wild rodents from Africa. Monkeypox has a clinical presentation very
