Necrotizing Fascitis Kayla Duke 4th hour anatomy Necrotizing fascists is a rare disease where the bacteria destroys tissue under the skin. The tissue death, called necrosis or gangrene spreads fatly. this disease could cause death in 12-14 hours. Some drugs used for treatment are antibiotics like penicillin, or aminoglycoside. or third generation cephalosporin.

Author: Jake Date: 12/09/2010 Introduction This essay includes my findings from research on the disease, and explains the signs, symptoms, causes, cures and prevention of the pathogen Cholera. The Bacterium Cholera is a severe bacterial infection caused by the bacterium “Vibrio cholerae”, the most common symptoms of the infection are diarrhoea ,vomiting and muscle cramps, this can lead to rapid dehydration and sometimes death. You can transmit Cholera by water that is contaminated with infected faeces; and also transmit it due to poor food hygiene1. Cholera kills an estimated 120,000 people a year2. If the bacteria enter the small intestine, they use their flagella to propel themselves through the lining of the intestinal wall, they produce a toxic protein.
What is a sickle cell crisis? Why is it concerning? • A sickle cell crisis is when the RBC is sickled shaped which prevents the RBC’s and oxygen to get to the tissue leading to extreme pain. There are 3 forms of a sickle cell crisis: • Vaso-occlusive crisis occurs when blood flow to tissues is obstructed by sickled RBCs, leading to hypoxemia and ischemia. • Acute sequestration event occurs when blood flow from an organ such as the liver, lungs, or spleen is obstructed by sickled RBC.
In the meantime they rob your system of nutrition, loading you down with their excretions and secretions these include Lice and Ringworm 1.3 Colonisation is when a bacterial strain invades a region of your body and starts to rapidly divide - it sets up a new colony Infection is similar but only usually used for opportunistic pathogenic bacteria - that is it does not usually refer to bacteria that normally inhabit us 1.4 Localised infection is restricted to a ceratin region of your body Systemic infection means that the infection is throughout your body. This usually means that the bacteria have been able to invade either your ciculatory system or the lymphatic system and spread 1.5 Some of the poor practises that may
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,
The most popular theory is that the body’s immune system reacts abnormally in people with Crohn’s disease, mistaking bacteria, foods, and other substances for being foreign (www.gicare.com). The immune system’s response is to attack the invaders. During this process, white blood cells accumulate in the lining of the intestines, producing chronic inflammation, which leads to ulcerations and bowel injury. Scientists do not know if the abnormality in the functioning of the immune system in people with Crohn’s disease is cause, or a result, of the disease (www.gicare.com). Researches have shown that the inflammation seen in the GI tract of people with Crohn’s disease involves several factors such as genes the patient has inherited, immune system and environmental factors
Myofascial pain syndrome 9. Lack of overbite or cuspid protected occlusion will result in excessive forces directed to posterior teeth and hence, more stress to muscles of mastication 10. Clenching from stress or anger and this will result in a common complaint of "sore jaws" noticed when one first awakens in morning. TMJD can be treated by: Restoration of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth If the occlusal surfaces of the teeth or the supporting structures have been altered due to inappropriate dental treatment, periodontal disease, or trauma, the proper occlusion may need to be
What is Multiple Sclerosis? Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that affects the central nervous system compose of the brain and spinal cord. The immune system T cells pass from the bloodstream into the central nervous system to attack the myelin sheath coating around nerve fibers (Wikipedia).The damaged myelin forms scar tissue (sclerosis), which gives the disease its name. Myelin damage disrupts communication between your brain and the rest of your body( Mayo Clinic). Ultimately, the nerves themselves may deteriorate, a process that's currently irreversible.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) Cystic fibrosis (CF), also known as mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder that affects most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver, and intestine. It is characterized by abnormal transport of chloride and sodium across an epithelium, leading to thick, viscous secretions. The name cystic fibrosis refers to the characteristic scarring (fibrosis) and cyst formation within the pancreas, first recognized in the 1930s. Difficulty breathing is the most serious symptom and results from frequent lung infections that are treated with antibiotics and other medications. Other symptoms, including sinus infections, poor growth, and infertility affect other parts of the body.
