Essay On American Red Cross

Hand, foot, and mouth are parts of human body have the highest change to get contagious infection. There are many viruses but Enterovirus groups, (most common is the coxsackie virus) is the main factor. These viruses can spread through direct contact from person to person especially with those have bad habits such as: unusually washed hands or surfaces contaminated with feces. An infected person’s saliva, stool, or respiratory secretions can transmit the infection.

Whether it is a local flood or a national disaster, there is always one organization there to help, the American Red Cross. Each year the organization turns down no one in need, benefits 70,000 people in disaster relief, along with saving three lives every time a person donates blood. The American Red Cross has evolved through the years and is still known as one of the most important nonprofit organizations in the world.

In the article, Virus killing Ontario lambs has troubling echoes of Zika, written by Jennifer Yang for The Star, we learn that there is an outbreak of Cache-Valley virus in Canada. The Cache-Valley virus has existed in Canada for a long period of time but new evidence shows that the virus could evolve into something similar to the Zika virus and effect humans too.

Nipah virus, Arena Virus and Francisella tularensis are bioterrorism agents. They work in various ways to harm the host. Francisella tularenis is considered a Tier 1 bioterrorism agent and Nipah virus is an overlap select agent that affects humans and agriculture both. They have been harmful in the past. Though, Nipah virus is a newer virus than the other two. This review will focus on their emergence, pathogenicity and symptoms of the diseases they cause.

Yes. I believe the author is so trying to portray that this new disease now called “Zica” is starting to become a problem along with the already worries of ISIS. Like we already don’t have enough to worry about, now here comes this new issue. To me, the fact that they already have a name for this if this was supposedly to be a “New” virus, tells me this is probably just another propaganda tactic used to deflect citizen’s attention off the real problem and let them come on in with a sneak attack. Crazy.

Many people are infected each year by what is known as the stomach flu. Little do you know that the stomach flu is part of the Norwalk Virus. Norwalk Virus also known as Norovirus is an extremely contagious virus. This virus causes your intestines and or stomach to inflame which leads you to have stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and puking.

Many people are affected each year by what is usually misdiagnosed as the “stomach flu”. The official medical term for this illness is Norovirus, but is also known as Norwalk Virus. It was first seen in 1968 at Bronson Elementary School in Norwalk, Ohio. The first outbreak occurred at the elementary school, infecting 116 of the 223 students and teachers. Norovirus is a contagious virus that can lead to an infection called acute gastroenteritis. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the stomach and intestines, which results in diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. In the United States alone, 19-21 million cases, 56,000-71,000 hospitalizations, and 570-800 deaths are reported each year (CDC).

Some current issues affecting the Salvation Army include: donation levels which continue to decline, at the same time there being an increase in the numbers of those who require The Army’s services. Reasons for the increase in the numbers of people requiring assistance include the loss of jobs, insufficient insurance and/or no insurance, as well or the difficulty in finding jobs with a living wage, also fewer and fewer funds from either donations or federal funding as more and more agen-cies are falling short of their goals. Even with all of the difficulties, the Salvation Army still attempts to provide help to thousands of people on a yearly basis. One other concern not discussed as publicly as other issues affecting the Salvation Army, is the religious message of the organization. This could be attributed to many people being assisted in a non-religious setting?

I frantically scanned the pages of the investigation, to find the genetic mutation in the killer virus that was quickly causing the most devastating pandemic in human history. It was imperative to find the genetic mutation, because it was that gene which allowed the virus to impersonate its host’s domestic cells, making any treatment virtually impossible.

“The Civil War left behind nothing ,but death destruction and injured men”,but an American women stood tall in the face of it all. This women would be known by the world as Clara Barton the founder of the American Red Cross.

Education and training about the risks of Norovirus is one of the most important, if not most important, form of precaution. Staff of the aged-care facility must be adept to recognize early signs of outbreak, be prepared and knowledgeable to swiftly manage the outbreak and reduce their susceptibility to the outbreak as well. Having the right knowledge and skill in infection control, the nurses in the aged-care can provide optimum care for the elderly patient.

Ornates, the epidemiologists from WHO, travels to Hong Kong and searches for the origin of the virus. She goes to the casino that Beth was in during her trip and reviews surveillance tapes. By watching the tapes, she manages to find out that Beth had direct contact with all of the other original cases. The young man from Hong Kong bused her martini glass; the model from London handed Beth her cell phone; the business man that dies on the bus asked her to blow onto his dice. Dr. Ornates informs local officials with the Hong Kong Civil Health Organization that the virus started in Hong Kong. The man serving as Dr. Ornates liaison, Sun Feng, informs Dr. Ornates that many of the people in his village are infected and dying with the

The American Red Cross (AMR) was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton. She was born in

Diagnosis of the Ebola virus is very hard to do. You need a specialized laboratory to perform the blood test. These laboratories are not available commercially, so basically only the government can do it. The lab is an extreme bio hazard. It is conducted under maximum containment conditions.

The symptoms of Ebola are a fever, headache, joint and muscle aches, vomiting, stomach pain, sore throat, diarrhea, weakness and occasionally read eyes, rashes, hiccups, and internal and external bleeding and since these symptoms are not specific to Ebola, it is difficult to clinically diagnose and can often be confused with other viruses. The ELISA testing, short for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and virus isolation are a couple of examples of the types of laboratory testing that can be done to diagnose and Ebola patient. Because of how easily it can be transmitted, it is extremely difficult to treat and there is no approved, official treatment. As of now, there is not standard treatment but usually the patients are given fluids and oxygen, have their blood pressure monitored and other necessary treatment. To prevent transmission and spreading the virus, the doctors use extreme caution and wear head to toe protective gear and isolate the patient. Even though the Ebola virus is common in Africa, there has been no known outbreak in the United States. Another difficulty facing scientists and the treatment for Ebola is that the natural reservoir for the virus unknown. The natural reservoir of a virus is it’s long term host of the
