Chronic Hepatitis B Epidemic Chronic Hepatitis B is an infection that affects the liver, and if this disease is allowed in its progression, it can cause fibrosis, cirrhosis, liver failure and hepatocellular carcinoma. It is a worldwide problem that does not have a cure. This virus affects an estimated 400 billion people, and the number is growing at a rapid rate. It will kill approximately 25% of people who do not get treatment. In China, approximately 60% of the population have a history of HBV infection, and about 7% to 10% of the population have the disease. They are at high risk of having liver disease. Currently, there are few available drugs that can manage this epidemic, such as interferon-alfa, nucleos(t)ide analogue polymerase inhibitors,
The Seven Rights of medication administration are, the right patient, right drug, right dose, right route, right time, right technique, and the right documentation.
The severity of complication range from mild discomforts to death. According to the CDC, 2014 “approximately 15%–25% of people with chronic Hepatitis B develop serious liver problems, including liver damage, cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer”. It is estimated that nearly one million people in the United States (US) have chronic HBV and approximately 3,000 people die yearly from HBV liver related problems. Since the introduction of the immunization in 1990 there has been more than a 80% reduction in the number of HBV cases here in the US. Globally, approximately 350 million people are estimated to have chronic HBV and there are an estimated 620,000 contributory
As you think about making sure your children are ready to head back to school, don’t forget to make sure they’re up-to-date on their immunizations. Getting you or your child vaccinated is as easy as coming to the Grace Health System Walk-In Clinic. No appointment is necessary.
vaccinations are said to cause autism and other mental disorders for the children later on
Hepatitis B is a virus that has been on the rise recently that everyone needs to know about. Hepatitis B has many types of transmissions, that make it harmful for babies and young children, along with adults; everyone is at risk. Hepatitis (literally inflammation of the liver) comes in many forms A, B, C, and more, but today we will be focusing on Hepatitis B. Inflammation of the liver can cause liver damage or failure, leading to death, which is what makes Hepatitis B such a dangerous virus. The Hepatitis B virus (HBV) enters the liver and attacks liver cells, leading to the liver becoming hardened over time due to it being constantly under attack by HBV, while a normal liver
It’s all something that they’ve heard about, but do they really know as much about the Hepatitis B virus (HBV) as they think? HBV is a virus that attacks the liver, which can cause lifelong infections and other serious diseases (CDC, 2014). HBV is spread in multiple ways and is more life threatening than people realize. Explaining HBV requires much understanding about the virus, so to start out, pathophysiology will be the first topic, then into clinical manifestations, medical management, nursing interventions, and to finish off with a conclusion of the disease. Surprisingly enough, there isn’t enough awareness about this virus as would be expected. It’s a very serious and potentially deadly disease that goes unspoken of.
This Paper was written as an informative project about the Hepatitis B virus. The paper was written in a way that clearly discusses the specific causes, symptoms, treatments and prevention associated with the virus. The paper goes into details on ways to avoid contraction of this virus as well.
CASE STUDIES REFLECTIONS #1- Mothering w/o a Mother The case study I chose was a therapist who lost her mother to ovarian cancer. The therapist speaks of her client she goes by the name Franny who was motherless and childless just like her. The therapist discusses the ups and downs of Franny’s life and how she overcame them all and became her success story. Physical Health
Hepatitis B is the swelling of your liver that is caused by Hepatitis B Virus. This infection has two different categories. There is one that occurs over a 6 month time period, which is called Acute Hepatitis B. This infection is more common in adults, whereas Chronic Hepatitis B is usually found in juveniles, that were born with it, and lasts their whole lives. Chronic Hepatitis B is also called “The silent killer.” In the world, two billion people have been infected with Acute Hepatitis B. That is approximately one out of every three people. Four hundred million people are chronically infected, and about one million die each year.
government ruled by a constitution, but limiting the rights and freedom achieved during the revolutionary process from 1789 to 1815. The political unrest is a constant in this period, the product of the revolutionary process that country passed and the Napoleonic wars, counting with several disputes among the political groups.
Hepatitis B is a genuine liver disease created by the hepatitis B virus (HBV). For some individuals, hepatitis B contamination gets to be incessant, which means it keeps going over six months. Having unending hepatitis B builds your danger of creating liver disappointment, liver disease or cirrhosis which is a condition that causes lasting scarring of the liver. A great number of people contaminated with hepatitis B as grown-ups recuperate completely, regardless of the possibility that their signs and side effects are extreme. Babies and youngsters will probably build up a ceaseless hepatitis B contamination (MayoClinic).
Dear parents of a little five year old girl, The short story, Hansel and Gretel by Neil Gaiman and Lorenzo Mattotti is a must-read story for your daughter because it empowers young girls through the characterization of Gretel and teaches essential life lessons. On top of this, both Gaiman’s text and Mattotti’s illustrations give subtle, yet strong symbolism that emphasizes the lessons it teaches. Gaiman’s story begins with Gretel as a hopeless follower, but as the story progresses, she becomes more independent and courageous.
Hepatitis B infections is caused by the Hepatitis B virus. The hepatitis B virus, also known as HBV, infects more than 300 million people throughout the whole world. It is a common cause of liver diseases and liver cancer. HBV, which is a member of the Hepadnaviridae family, is a small DNA virus with unusual features similar to retroviruses. The Hepatitis B virus' DNA polymerase and retroviral reverse transcriptase are very similar and may have evolved from a common ancestor. HBV replicates through an RNA intermediate and can unite into the host chromosomes. A unique features that the hepatitis B virus replication cycle has is that the virus has the ability to stay in infected cells. The Hepatitis B virus infection leads to a wide spectrum of liver disease ranging from acute to chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. The virus particles consist of a lipid envelope that contains surface antigens, HBsAg, a core made of proteins,
It is estimated that hepatitis B infects approximately one third of the world population— mostly young adults and teenagers. Of that percentage, about 340 million people are chronically infected meaning they cannot get rid of the virus. Sadly, this statistic leads to the depressing rate of approximately one million hepatitis B related deaths each year (Nguyen, V. T., & Dore, G. J., 2008).
The landmark report of the Institute of Medicine is thorough examination of roles of nurses, responsibilities and education should be attuned to meet the created by the complex and evolving healthcare system due to the needs of the aging population, and demands of the increasingly diverse population. The major purpose of the report was to provide assessment and transformation of the nursing profession. The recommendations were to serve as the blueprint to improving health care for all people by enhancing the contribution of nurses to the delivery of care. The outcomes of this report raise thought-provoking questions that include, what remodeling is the health care system requires to be seamless, affordable and accessible to all? What mechanism
