MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs.

MRSA skin infections may develop pus or weep other fluids. If left untreated, a MRSA skin infection can go progressively deeper into the body, infecting blood and organs.
In 2011, an estimated 2.5 million people were newly infected with HIV. 330,000 were under the age of 15. Every day nearly 7,000 people contract HIV—nearly 300 every hour. In 2011, 1.7 million people died from AIDS. 230,000 of them were under the age of 15.
Cystic Fibrosis Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a non-curable inherited defect of a gene called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator gene (CTFR). The (CTFR) gene makes a protein that regulates the movement of water and salt throughout the cells in our body. This defective gene causes the production of thick, sticky mucus. It builds up and first clogs the small airways, but eventually it can affect all airways. The airways are responsible for carrying harmful bacteria out of the body.
When the mucus becomes abundant this triggers the cough reflex. C.) Which structures found in the terminal bronchioles and particulate matter? In the terminal bronchioles and alveoli there are macrophages, these would normally protect Cari’s lungs from infectious bacteria and particulate matter. D.) How would the resistance of Cari’s airways be affected by excess mucus and fluid in her lung? Cari’s airway would be affected by excess mucus and fluid buildup because the build up would cause resistance in her lungs due to the small diameter of space that is available.
An estimated 5.4 million Americans of all ages have Alzheimer’s disease in 2012. This figure includes 5.2 million people age 65 or older and 200,000 individuals under age 65 who have younger onset Alzheimer’s. One in eight people age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s disease and nearly half of people age 85 and older have Alzheimer’s disease. More women than men have Alzheimer’s disease. Almost two third of Americans with Alzheimer’s are women which is explained by the fact that women live longer on average than men.
The first symptom are blackheads then the form into red tender bumps the third step is painful, pea-size bumps and finally leaking bumps or sores. Blackheads are small pitted areas of skin containing blackheads. The red tender bumps (lesions) are often enlarge, break open and drain pus. This drainage could have a unpleasant odor. Itching, burning, and sweating may accompany the bumps.
Jaundice occurs because the rapid breakdown of abnormal red blood cells leads to a build up of a waste product in the body called bilirubin.The build up of bilirubin often leads to the formation of small crystal ducts called gallstones. Most gallstones do not cause symptoms but occasionally they can block the bile duct which drains bile from the liver into the bowel. This can trigger jaundice. Leg ulcer A leg ulcer can be painful it’s an open sore that develops on the lower leg, usually close to the ankle. Leg ulcers often develop after a skin infection or injury, such as a cut or puncture wound.
Prolonged gingivitis can also lead to loss or shifting of teeth, which changes the way the teeth fit upon biting down. The last effect gingivitis has is that it can lead to more serious diseases such as periodontitis. Gingivitis is a big issue because this bacteria is present in virtually all mouths to some extent. It is important that people do not get into poor dental and oral health practices so that their gums do not become irritated or bleed. Irritation and redness of the gums are common effects of gingivitis that can become very painful and sore if trying to consume foods or beverages.
Anemia is a blood condition where you have a low red blood cell count. Symptoms of Anemia are shortness of breathe, Fatigue, pail skin and nail beds, and also jaundice. The pain is called Sickle Cell Crises. Sickle Cell Crises is where the sickle red blood cells become “C” shaped and get stuck to other “C” shaped cell and cause a block in the blood flow in the capillaries to limbs and organs. The Sickle Cell Crises can cause acute or chronic pain.
The cause for the sickling in the blood cells are due to the low oxygen levels, increasing acidicty, and dehydration within the blood. With certain organs exposed to the lower oxgen levels and acidicty, the blood begins to travel slowly through the spleen, liver, and kidney which results in numerous bodily injuries. Also, organs with high metabolism rates help to stimulate the sickling by taking more than enough oxygen from the blood , that also makes the organs more susceptible to injury as well. All these conditions will shortly end up damaging the bodys tissue and cause severe dehydrating states with the
