Vaccinations What Is A Vaccination? Vaccination sounds scary but it really isn’t! Being vaccinated means that the doctor will give you a tiny piece of a particular microbe that is dead, so that is safe. Vaccines won’t make you sick but it shows your body enough microbe to make sure your immune system would recognise it if it saw it again. Your body makes antibodies to the vaccine and you are then protected if that microbe ever tries to get past your first line of defence again!
MRSA: Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Date: 12/17/2013 MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus. It is a staph bacteria that is resistant to methicillin antibiotics, which are normally used to treat staph infections. Since it is resistant to these antibiotics, it is commonly referred to as a super bug. It becomes resistant due to improper and overuse of antibiotics. The overuse of antibiotics enables the bacteria to build up immunity to antibiotics so that they are less effective.
This experiment was completed with the purpose of testing and discovering the effects different contaminants have on water and to hypothesize the possible effects contaminated water could have on the human body based on research and readings of different scholarly sources. This investigation will also determine if there are any differences in taste and compositional makeup between tap water and bottled water. The pollutants used in this experiment are oil, vinegar, and laundry detergent. For my hypotheis for this experiment, I believe that the oil and vinegar will have a more negative effect on the water and the laundry detergent will have the least negative effect, which I believe will only give the water a more soapy aroma. For the difference in quality between tap water and bottled water, I believe that the bottled water, in this case Dasani and Fiji, will be a lot purer and not have as many contaminants than the municipal tap water.
Given that mycotoxins may have carcinogenic properties, you should immediately remove yourself from any black mold environment and have the spores professionally removed. Black Mold vs. Other Molds • All molds can potentially cause respiratory symptoms as the spores enter your lungs, but not all molds contain pathogens or mycotoxins. Some of the more common household molds, like Penicillium and and Cladosporium, are far less harmful and only pose a threat to asthma sufferers and people with respiratory conditions. The toxigenic molds, like Aspergillus and of course black mold, can pose a threat to
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether or not a new proton-shooting system can replace today’s method of treating cancer with harmful radiation. Proton therapy has many advantages over radiation treatments based on x-rays. Although x-ray radiation techniques will control cancer, physicians are unable to adequately conform the irradiation pattern to the cancer. Therefore the healthy tissues receive the same dose and will also be damaged. As a result, patients are given a “less the desirable dose” to reduce damage to normal cells and to avoid harmful side effects.
Bacteria will not multiply in dry areas, but as soon as liquid is added, for instance to dried food like powdered milk and dried eggs, the products will provide ideal conditions for bacteria to multiply. However, if enough salt or sugar have been added to foods such as bacon, savoury biscuits, jam and confectionery, this will absorb the available moisture in the food so the bacteria cannot multiply as easily. It is not only moist foods that provide the right environment for bacteria, though. Moist skin or damp areas of an environment will also provide the right atmosphere for bacterial growth. Nutrients Bacteria, like all living things, need nutrients to survive.
(Tafe,2009) (M,2012) Q3. Describe the strategies that could be used to minimise cross infection, prevent the spread of disease and reduce further complications. Medical staff could use an aseptic technique when changing wound dressings to minimise the risk of introducing an infection. This is achieved by using sterile equipment with a non touch technique. By maintaining a sterile environment the risk for cross spread of diseases is limited.
In essence, this involves preventing flares and reducing their severity and duration when they occur. Medications Due to the variety of symptoms and organ system involvement with SLE, its severity in an individual must be assessed in order to successfully treat SLE. Mild or remittent disease can sometimes be safely left untreated. If required, non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and antimalarials may be used. Disease-modifying antirheumatic
So once these antibodies are produced they continue to exist in your body and “remember” the antigens and continue fighting off that same antigen if it ever arises again in your body. According to Merriam Webster’s online dictionary, vaccine is defined as a prepared weakened or killed pathogen, such as a bacterium or virus, or of a portion of the pathogen's structure that upon administration stimulates antibody production or cellular immunity against the pathogen but is incapable of causing severe infection. As I said before, when you get sick with a disease, your immune system produces immunity. This immunity keeps them from getting
This situation has positive and negative effects. If there are more vaccinations that will mean more people will be able to get less harmful diseases. This is a great side effect because potentially lethal diseases will be able to be eradicated and properly disposed of. This can be exemplified by the small pox disease. Once there was a vaccination for small pox and this vaccination was required, then the disease finally died out.
