In the case of chronic bronchitis, this occurs mainly in smokers. It's defined as a cough that you have at least three months a year for two consecutive years. People who continue to smoke may go on to develop emphysema, but in smokers who are able to quit, the cough may clear in a few days or weeks. Signs and symptoms of chronic bronchitis include: having to clear your throat first thing in the morning, especially if you smoke, a chronic cough that produces yellowish sputum, shortness of breath in the later stages, and frequent respiratory infections. Chronic asthmatic bronchitis is usually chronic bronchitis combined with asthma (bronchospasm).
The first description of Ulcerative Colitis was made by an Englishman named Wilks in 1859. It is an uncommon condition and 10 new cases are made every year per 100,000 people. It is estimated that currently 100,000 people in England suffer from this condition. The condition can affect any age group but normally peaks itself between the age of 15 and 30. It is more common among white people of European descent particularly descendants of Ashkenazi Jewish community (Jews who lived in Eastern Europe and Russia) and black people.
Emphysema symptoms of COPD * In patients affected predominantly by emphysema, shortness of breath may be the major symptom. Dyspnea usually is most noticeable during increased physical activity, but as emphysema progresses, dyspnea occurs at rest. Chronic bronchitis and bronchiectasis symptoms of COPD * In patients with chronic bronchitis as well as bronchiectasis, chronic cough and sputum production are the major symptoms. The sputum is usually clear and thick. Periodic chest infections can cause fever, dyspnea, coughing, production of purulent (cloudy and discolored) sputum and wheezing.
It is estimated that fewer than ten percent of adverse events after vaccine use are ever reported to VAERS. If only ten percent of all adverse events associated with Gardasil are being reported to VAERS, there could have been up to 100,000 health problems that were never reported. As of August 31, 2008 twenty-seven deaths have been reported to VAERS involving Gardasil. Although adverse event reports to VAERS do not prove causation, they can alert the NVCIA that Gardasil is causing health problems. Recently uncovered were VAER reports of HPV infection, genital warts and cervical lesions after Gardasil vaccination.
Louis Pasteur: Remembered for his breakthroughs in the causes and preventions of diseases. He also created the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. Gregor Mendel: Founder of the science of genetics. Charles Darwin: He established that all species of life descended from common ancestors and proposed the scientific theory that evolution resulted from natural selection. Jean-Baptiste Lamarck: He was an early proponent of the idea that evolution occurred in accordance with natural laws.
This can last between 6-20 days, with an average of approximately 7-10 days (CDC, 2012). The next phase of Whooping cough is known as the Catarrhal phase ( Cortese, Bisgard, 2008). During this phase the patient begins to exhibit mild symptoms and the infection extremely contagious ( Cortese, Bisgard, 2008). The Catarrhal phase can last up to two weeks and is often misdiagnosed as a common cold (Bauman, 2012). Symptoms during this phase include a runny nose, weak cough, slight nasal and upper respiratory congestion, and at times a low grade fever (CDC,
