pylori can be performed easily and rapidly. However, blood antibodies can persist for years after complete eradication of H. pylori with antibiotics. Therefore, blood antibody tests may be good for diagnosing infection, but they are not good for determining if antibiotics have successfully eradicated the bacterium. The urea breath test (UBT) is a safe, easy, and accurate test for the presence of H. pylori in the stomach. The breath test relies on the ability of H. pylori to break down the naturally occurring chemical, urea, into carbon dioxide which is absorbed from the stomach and eliminated from the body in the breath.
The shortness of breath and poor sleeping pattern are both characteristics of someone with COPD. Don is also coughing of clear sputum, which is a mucus-like material that is found in the lungs and can be coughed up or spit out. Source: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease 2. Why is smoking significant in respiratory disorders? Smoking effects the respiratory through two main ways: the smoke and the tar.
Biomedical and social model of health Health is “A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease and infirmity” (WHO, 1946). Health can be defined as an “absence of disease” in the modern western world and is found in medical documentation, government reports and legislation. (Waugh et.al 2008). There are two competing models of health and they are often referred to as the biomedical and social models. The differences between the biomedical and social model of health is that biomedical focuses on the cure for treating and diagnosing treatment for ill patients while the social model focuses on the origins of the illness rather than the cure.
Central nervous system disturbances may be noted with decreased cardiac output. •Observe for chest pain or discomfort; note location, radiation, severity, quality, duration, associated manifestations such as nausea, and precipitating and relieving factors. Chest pain/discomfort is generally indicative of an inadequate blood supply to the heart, which can compromise cardiac output. Clients with heart failure can continue to have chest pain with angina or can re-infarct. •If chest pain is present, have client lie down, monitor cardiac rhythm, give oxygen, run a strip, medicate for pain, and notify the physician.
Digital records can be stored virtually forever and can be kept long after the physical records are gone. EMRs also help keep records of health information that patients tend to forget with time, previous illnesses and medications. EMRs make health care cost-efficient by consolidating all data in one place. Previously, paper-based records are located in different places and getting access to all of them takes a lot of time and money. EMRs can save lives.
Jenner found that the boy fell ill to cowpox but after recovering, he was immune to smallpox thus the method of vaccination was born. This discovery was important as it was an improvement on the previous method of inoculation. Inoculation involved deliberately infecting someone with the desired disease but death rates were extremely high as a result of this practise. However Jenner’s discovery of the smallpox vaccination meant that more lives were saved because there were fewer deaths associated with the vaccination technique and it became more popular than inoculation - eventually becoming a widespread method of disease prevention as it is still in use today. The factors of enquiry and science & technology played an important part in the build up to the development of the smallpox vaccination.
Research Paper on Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, also known as ARDS is described as a restrictive lung disease that reduces compliance. This is a life threatening condition that causes severe fluid buildup in both lungs. The fluid buildup prevents the lungs being able to transfer oxygen from air into the body and carbon dioxide out of the body into the air. It is seen frequently in critical care and is associated with many medical diagnoses such as sepsis and trauma. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome is not considered to be a precise disease and is seen in an individual who demonstrates breathing failures due to an essential illness.
Smallpox could be deliberately spread by aerosol. It would spread easily because the virus stays very stable in aersol form. Also it would take no more than 50-100 cases of smallpox to cause an international concern and emergency measures would need to be taken immediately. So in conclusion smallpox is known as a very contagious disease that can be carried from one person to another by saliva as well as bed sheets and clothing. Also it seems as though this could be a serious weapon for some countries to as a form of
✓ Easy to dispose and incinerate not like usual equipments (Ex: Syringe). ← Disadvantages: In my opinion it's 90% perfect because it has a weakness point while using it in medicine; there is large numbers of diseases so we need large numbers of this invention to fit the number of diseases, but professor George Whitesides and his team are developing papers to be able to perform several different tests several times so when this happens this invention will be 100% perfect. ← Conclusion: In conclusion, we notice that this invention has many benefits for humanity so I hope that it'll be developed more and more.

While any serious injury or death caused by vaccines is too many, it is also clear that the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the slight risk, and that many, many more injuries and deaths would occur without vaccinations. In fact, to have a medical intervention as effective as vaccination in preventing disease and not use it would be highly unethical as well as
