Vaccinations in children help prevent viruses and bacteria more than causing them. First off, what exactly is a vaccination? According to an article from familydoctor.org it states, “Vaccines contain weakened versions of a virus or versions that look like a virus (called antigens). This means the antigens cannot produce the
Vaccination is the process by which pathogenic cells are injected into a healthy person in an attempt to cause the body to develop antibodies to a particular virus or bacteria. Success in this process results in immunity to the virus or bacteria. Immunity is when the body is protected from harmful substances. Vaccinations can be both beneficial and harmful in some aspects. Beneficial in the way it helps the overall population and harmful for its side effects are not always certain.
Other kinds of antibiotic were quick introduced for treating Staphylococcus as well. As more kinds of antibiotics were introduced and people widely used them to kill Staphylococcus aureus bacteria, they become the selective pressure for the
Opposition to vaccines has existed since the earliest vaccination campaigns. Although the benefits of preventing these diseases greatly outweigh the risks of a rare side effect, disputes have arisen over the morality, effectiveness, and safety of vaccinations (5). Concern has been raised by the spreading of unfound information about the medical risks of vaccines. This increases the rates of life threatening disease, not only in the children whose parents refused vaccinations, but also in other children. This false information has led to an increase in vaccine preventable illnesses as well as an increase in the number of vaccine preventable deaths.
Herpes Zoster is not infectious but it is possible to transmit chickenpox to those who have not had it or to those who are immunocompromised. Both contact isolation and wear mask when changing dressing or if wound open to air. (powerpoint page 6) 6. What drug would be given to shorten the course of the outbreak? The drug that would be given to shorten the course of the outbreak is anti-virals such as Valtrex or Zovirax may shorten course of illness, effective if given 24-48 hours of onset.
K&U5- Diagnosis of malaria Early and accurate detection of malaria is required to make sure that the patient is treated in time and also to prevent further spread of infection within the neighbourhood through local mosquitoes. If diagnosis and treatment is delayed, it may increase the chance of death of the patient, therefore malaria should be treated as a possible medical emergency and health practitioners should know how to diagnose and treat malaria instantly. A health practitioner should know what the signs and symptoms are of a patient infected with malaria. By knowing the signs and symptoms, the health practitioners would be able to follow up with tests to produce the necessary results which show for certain whether the patient has malaria.
A practice might review charts to see how often a particular vaccine is offered, given or declined. If the audit determines that the vaccine is not being offered or given as recommended, then there is room for improvement. This same practice could be applied to the clinics physicians to audit their performances within the clinic group and see if they differ. Taking these basic ideas they can then be applied to real life practice. Federal Law requires a “single point of entry” for early intervention (EI) to create a childhood database for surveying childhood diseases.
A more simple way to say it is that vaccines are a way that humans fight against disease. Vaccines allow a person to become immune to a certain disease. Vaccination is an important practice not only because it prevents an individual from contracting a
My response has always been no. I responded no simply because I didn’t know what HPV was, so why get a vaccine for something that I didn’t know what I was trying to prevent. What I didn’t know was that when I receive my pap they check to make sure nothing is wrong with my cervix which is what HPV attacks. HPVSafety.com stated “High-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) can be detected through a simple test and among women, who stand a higher risk of cervical cancer; this can be done along with the Pap smear test. On the other hand, there is as of now no FDA-approved test to detect HPV in men.
The Methods Behind Targeted Chemotherapy Emily A. Abstract The use of the drug Cisplatin through the method of isolated infusion is the ideal use of targeted chemotherapy. Cisplatin works by molecularly targeting the guanine base in DNA, but if it were given through a general IV it would bond with all cells with guanine bases and not exclusively the cancerous cells. Therefore when the drug is administered through isolated infusion (a form of targeted delivery) it will only affect the ‘isolated’ cancerous area. This method of chemotherapy is controversial because if the procedure is not properly conducted the Cisplatin will spread and healthy organ systems could be destroyed. Yet the benefits outweigh the risks by far because if the procedure is done correctly all the cancerous cells in that isolated area will be eliminated entirely.
