Chronic Diseases: The Discovery Of Vaccines

Edward Jenner made the world’s first vaccine and others started making more vaccines today. Edward created vaccines and other great doctors started making more because it was the best cure for sicknesses. Two vaccines have been made, thanks to Edward Jenner, to prevent rotavirus and pneumonia - two conditions that kill nearly three million children under the age of five each year. Edward’s revolutionary medical device and his good deeds changed the outcome how humans would live in his days and how we today, would live right

Medicine played an important role in happier living. One of the major advancements in medicine happened in 1952 when polio came out. This disease was killing many young men and women all over the United States. John Stalk, as a medical student at The University of Michigan, studied viruses and soon came to the conclusion that there was no cure for polio but there was a way to prevent it. Stalk discovered a way to vaccinate people so

The purpose of this article is to inform the reader about the case. It informs the reader about the specific case as well as providing information about previous cases of the plague in the area and in the U.S.

In modern times medicine has been transformed by waves of discovery that have brought marvels like antibiotics, vaccines and heart stents.

Every year, vaccines save more than 2.5 million children, which is similar to about 285 every hour; however, not everyone in the world believes that vaccines are safe (ProCon). In 1796, British Doctor Edward Jenner created the first vaccine to prevent smallpox by noticing that the milkmaids who were exposed to cowpox were immune to it (Ballarlo). Scientists realized the importance of this and began to research on the creation of vaccines for other illnesses. Unexpectedly, it was French chemist Louis Pasteur who, while researching why there is spoilage in wine, found “germs” (Burge). From that discovery, he speculated that if germs could be found in wine, then it can probably be found in animals, plants, and humans too. This was how

Smallpox was a highly infectious virus that spread easily through contact with infected people or objects contaminated with the disease. The vrius was deadly and killed thirty percent of people who caught it. The disease was known as a “brick-shaped virus,” which originated from the variola virus. The disease spread when an infected person sneezed or coughed. The droplets from their nose or mouth spread and would then infect another person. The virus could also spread through contaminated objects, such as clothing, or bedding. Most commonly, smallpox entered the body through the nose or the throat. The disease then spread to the lungs, where it grew and traveled to the lymphatic system. The first symptoms included vomiting, head and body aches,

Smallpox is provoked by the virus variola. It infiltrates through the lungs and is transferred in the blood to numerous internal organs. It is then dispersed to the skin, where it causes a rash. This “treatment” for the virus had already been

In the 18th century Europe was plagued by a disease called Small Pox. Small pox is caused by the virus variola; it enters through the lungs into the blood system, infecting the organs. The virus then spreads to the skin where it multiplies causing a rash, fever, headache, backache and vomiting. The rash begins small and grows bigger and raised from the skin. Severe cases cause death from blood poisoning, other infections or internal bleeding. There is no effective treatment once infected. If you were a survivor you were left with terrible scars and sometimes blindness. Surviving small pox also made you immune so many people were inoculated during this time. Edward Jenner was inoculated as a young boy then locked in a barn with other inoculated children; he

This is making it easier for scientist and doctors to find diagnosis for patients. And find cures for some of the stronger diseases. so could you ask yourself ,in the next decade or two could we just might find the cure to some of the big problem diseases in our society, such as cancer, ALS, and hundreds more. the answer could be right before our very eyes.

Edward Jenner was born on May 17, 1749 and died on January 26, 1823. He was an English Physician that created the vaccination for the small pox vaccine. He based it on research done by a farmer that infected his wife and children with the pus of the blisters from milkmaids that had generally been immune to the cow pox virus. Since the cow pox virus was less of a threat than the small pox. But it would take 20 years for Jenner’s procedure to be understood.

Vaccinations origin dates back to the 10th century. Chinese physicians deduced that that bursting the blisters of patients with the small pox virus and drying, grinding then inserting the matter into their nasal cavity would transmit the virus and sometimes immunity. Buddhist monks were known to ingest small amounts of snake venom to achieve immunity to snake bites. Edward Jenner is often seen as the founder of vaccines due to his discovery in 1796. Jenner noticed that milk maids rarely were diagnosed with smallpox and deduced that being infected with cowpox allowed immunity to smallpox to be

He found that cowpox wasn’t as deadly as smallpox, and that if he gave someone with smallpox an injection of cowpox, it would help them fight the disease they had. People with cowpox, for

Smallpox first appeared in Europe between the 5th and 7th centuries and was common in the Middle Ages. There was an epidemic of smallpox around the

“No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal --the redness and the horror of blood. There were sharp pains, and sudden dizziness, and then profuse bleeding at the pores, with dissolution. The scarlet stains upon the body and especially upon the face of the victim, were the pest ban which shut him out from the aid and from the sympathy of his fellow-men. And the whole seizure, progress and termination of the disease, were the incidents of half an hour“(1).

Back in the 1200’s the human race had just discovered the circulation of blood. That shows how far we have come with modern medicine. Things like vaccines and even genetics such as DNA would never have been discovered if it was not for
