Shingles does not usually occur in babies, but if a baby is exposed to chicken pox earlier in life and months later the babies immune system is compromised that baby can develop shingles. 3.According to Patrick Guilfoille the same Varicella Zoster Virus is responsible for both chicken pox and shingles. Shingles is the reactivation of the virus in the affected person. The reactivation occurs when that individual’s immune system is suppressed. The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing.
There are many dangers when have the gastric bypass. The two I found more important are; 1.) A condition known as dumping syndrome can occur from eating high-fat, high-sugar foods. The results can be unpleasant and may include vomiting, nausea, weakness, sweating, faintness, and diarrhea. Some patients actually view this as a positive mechanism that prevents them from reverting back to unhealthy eating habits (http://www.realize.com/gastric-bypass/risks-and-complications).
BIOL 1010 ‐ Biotechnology and Society Assignment #2 Genetic Disease Briefing Cystic Fibrosis Name: Zeina Hassan Date: Monday, November 11th, 2013 Cystic fibrosis, also known as CF, is a disease that causes the body to produce thick and sticky mucus in various parts of the body, resulting in problems in two of the major areas in the body: the lungs and the digestive system (KidsHealth, 2013). Mucus is a slimy substance that is secreted by the mucus membranes of the body. It has several functions in the body such as, lubricating the digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems. It helps keeps the bodily tissues moist and prevent tissues from getting infected or from drying out (KidsHealth,
HSV Type II is the diagnosis of genital herpes. However, cross infection can occur between the two types from infected individuals participating in oral sex. Neonatal herpes is a very serious type of infection that has a 90% mortality rate among newborns. The Herpes Simplex Virus is a highly contagious disease that is spread by direct contact with lesions of an infected person. Herpes Simplex Virus is a virus that remains in latent state inside the ganglia, which is located near the spinal cord.
Compare the beneficial and detrimental effects of Escherichia coli on humans. many bacteria are essential in our body to help it finction proberly. Some of these bacteria help digest food and fight off sickness, however certain bacteria invade the bpdy and attack causing infections. Escherichia coli is an evolving cause of foodborne illness. An estimated 73,000 cases of infection and 61 deaths occur in the United States each year.
Patients with hyperglycemia are very thirsty, have a dry mouth, and need to urinate often. The pancreas is the organ responsible for producing insulin. Only a small percentage of CF patients develop hyperglycemia, and if they do, it usually does not appear until their 20s or 30s. - Abdominal discomfort: The belly is usually swollen with gas and the patient feels abdominal discomfort. Here is how Cystic Fibrosis affects the different body systems and the signs and symptoms that accompany these.
When the stomach is empty, it worsens the matter as the bile is able to reach the surface of the stomach and disrupt the normal stomach mucous barrier (then allowing gastric acid to come in contact with the stomach wall) and causes vomiting. Once the pet vomits,
It came back a year later that only 60% of these children that were treated were successful, while the rest failed, but it is stated that this medication is not for everyone and does have severe side effects. Some of the side effects are that of more sleep for the medicated, where as the unmediated can get less sleep. With Ritalin a child can become more depressed, but the pro would be the ability to focus more in school. In my personal opinion, you can medicate a child to death, but you need to understand the cause of the behavioral problem, before you can remove the cause. Just proving a child with medicine but not really knowing for what is not the answer.
Almost half of those who develop Bipolar disorder develop the disorder before their 25th birthday (NIMH, 2012). Although it is not as common, children can be diagnosed with Bipolar disorder. Research shows that children can develop Bipolar disorder as early as age six. Warning signs and symptoms for children who may have Bipolar disorder include elation (child might laugh hysterically), grandiose behaviors (child may act as if he or she is superior to adults), flight of ideas (during normal conversation, the child may jump from topic to topic), decreased need for sleep (child may only sleep for 3 hours but still have full energy the next day), and hypersexuality (child may be too flirtatious for his or her age and do acts such as try to touch adults in their privates areas) (NAMI,
The government were extremely concerned that this was going to be a repeat of the 1918 and 1957 pandemics; where nearly 50-100 million people died worldwide, but, the pandemics became milder as time went on. The deaths were reduced due to medical advancements and more people were aware of the actions needed to prevent the disease; so who is mot at risk? Anyone can suffer from swine flu, but children (specifically under 5’s because their immune systems aren’t fully developed yet), pregnant women and people with existing health problems; are the most affected. The puzzling aspect of the H1N1 virus is that it also effects the healthier of us. At one point, out of 77 deaths 1/5th were extremely healthy.
