MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS: Pneumonia: Pneumonia is an infection in one or both lungs. The infection may be caused by fungi, bacteria, or viruses. Pneumonia causes inflammation in your lungs air sacs, also referred to as alveoli. The alveoli fill with fluid or pus, making it difficult to breathe. The invading organism causes symptoms, in part, by provoking a large immune response in the lungs.
Cholesterol is essential for healthy cells, but if there is too much in the blood it can lead to CAD. Cholesterol is carried in the blood stream by molecules called lipoproteins. Cholesterol is made from eating fatty foods, excess alcohol and caffeine etc. Which means that the more of these you eat the more likely you are to suffer from CAD 3) Carbon monoxide, nicotine, and other substances in tobacco smoke can promote atherosclerosis and trigger symptoms of coronary artery disease. Smoking: * Causes the platelets in your blood to clump together easily by making your blood cells more "sticky" and more likely to form clots.
The secondary cause is related to an existing infection or disease. Each of these are caused by different irritants that result in the same disruption of normal perfusion. The attacks on the lung lead to alveolar inflammation and edema that causes low ventilation and blood and fluid to be pushed into the capillaries. This leads to a stasis in the lung’s gas perfusion and creates a pressure that makes it harder for the individual to breath (Anatomical Chart Company, 2010, p. 100). The first signs and symptoms of any infection should immediately be put to the attention of the health care provider.
The cyst is ingested through the mouth by contaminated water sources and develops into a trophozoite in the stomach and intestines, where it eats through the mucosal lining and begins to attack the liver, causing amoebic disease. The infected person continues to pass new cysts through their stool throughout the course of infection. Some people can carry the E. histolytica parasite without experiencing any symptoms but continue to pass it on (www.jgid.com). Those who are affected experience severe vomiting and diarrhea that often contains blood, mucous, or even pus depending on the stage of the disease. Other symptoms include stomach pain and tenderness, nausea, anorexia, and occasional fever.
There is a possibility of a crackling under the skin when compressed slightly, and an inability to contract the muscle in the affected area. Pathogenicity. The Clostridial bacteria most commonly infect a pre-existing wound either from injury or surgery. Because it is an anaerobic bacterium it will thrive in an environment with devitalized tissue. Once the infection has occurred the bacteria produce a toxic gas that kills muscle, providing an even more anaerobic area, which explains such rapid spread in the body.
4. Ceftriaxone is used to treat certain infections caused by bacteria such as gonorrhea, pelvic inflammatory disease, meningitis, and infections of the lungs, ears, skin, urinary tract, blood, bones, joints and abdomen. 5. CMV: cytomegalovirus is related to the viruses that cause chickenpox and infectious mononucleosis (mono). 6.
The infection usually begins in the throat and travels downward to reach the lungs. Then the host of the infection begins to show symptoms or signs that show that the infection is spreading. Depending on the kind of the disease, symptoms may vary. There are two different types of diseases, bacterial and viral. Bacteria cause bacterial diseases as viruses cause viral diseases.
Treatments can be considered as preventions as well. Medicines to treat CAD include Lipid therapy, antihypertensive, and anti platelets. Lipid therapy consists of maintaining an LDL less than 100mg per dl. High blood cholesterol, a waxy, fat-like substance, builds up in the arteries. The higher the blood cholesterol level is the greater risk.
Endocarditis and End stage renal disease NUR240 Endocarditis is an infection of the endocardium, which is the innermost layer of the heart, the heart valves or cardiac prosthesis. The endocarditis occurs as a result from bacterial or virus invasion. The collection of microorganisms, fibrin, and platelets forms vegetation that covers the valve surfaces and spread to the chordae tendineae, the endothelial lining of heart chamber or the endothelium of the greater vessels leading to and from heart, hence causing the heart failure. Pieces of vegetative growth may break off and form emboli that travel to spleen, lungs, kidneys or central nervous system. The predisposing factors for endocarditis include, aging for older people who have aortic stenosis; intravenous drug abuse, presence of prosthetic heart valve, use of intravascular devices which may result in nosocomial like, methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA); and renal dialysis (Lewis et al, 2011, 841-842).
They take on various forms and can include yeast and moulds. Again, these can be both beneficial and pathogenic. Some of their common illnesses and infections include athletes foot, ring worm, thrush and mycoses. Parasites can be found in soil, water, air and animals and can be acquired by consumption and contact of a contaminated surface. They differ from bacteria by needing a living host to complete their life cycle, being host specific.
