How The Treatment Can Be Worse Than The Actual Ailment Or Disorder

The role of prevention compared to treatment has been debated in the healthcare industry for years. In the United States, health providers have been known to prefer treatment over prevention. The idea of healing or treating pain is more desirable than working to simply avoid it according to (Hackett, 2013). My understanding in the role of prevention vs treatment comes down to personal accountability for patients, and changing the thinking of physicians. Treatment gets reimbursed at a higher rate from Medicare and Medicaid and private insurance coverage than prevention; there is a lower compensation for preventative medicine residency programmes and physicians; and there is relatively little funding for active prevention work (Hackett, 2013).

BACKGROUND – E. coli is a food-borne bacterium that inhabits the bowels of warm blooded creatures such as humans and animals. If the individual is infected by E. coli, some symptoms can be “diarrhea, gas, abdominal cramping, fatigue, fever and vomiting.” (Pietrangelo”) If someone is infected with this bacterium, anti-biotics, which is explained by Oxford Dictionaries as “A medicine (such as penicillin or its derivatives) that inhibits the growth of or destroys microorganisms” can successfully treat the disease if it is outside of the digestive tract.

coli and Salmonella” (Veldman). This statement allows the reader to see the negative impact of antibiotics used in livestock. Gay Miller elaborates on the subject when speaking with Veldman, saying, “Of course, it raises concerns about resistance issues… but from my perspective the most important thing to reflect on with regard to antibiotic resistance is from a benefit/cost perspective.” Veldman continues to explain that the National Cattleman’s Beef Association Website also says, “…science has not found a link between the use of antibiotics in food animals and development of resistant bacteria that might compromise the efficacy of related antibiotics in human medicine.” These two statements by Veldman and Miller tell the reader that even though there is a chance that certain antibiotics used in livestock could be harmful to consumers, there is no scientific evidence to support

1997; Sihna et al. 1999 and 2001), breast cancer (Zheng et al. 1998 Sihna et al. 2000) lung cancer (Sihna et al. 1998) and gastric cancer Ward et al. 1997; De Stefani et al. 1998) Similarily, in this paper, we investigated the presence of Salmonella and common mutagens such as Diet Coke, and ThermaFlu to see which of the strains of salmonella used in lab could possibly revert the bacteria back into its wild-type.

What do you think are the most important changes in chemotherapeutic management of microbial disease?

Juveniles across the country have many issues in today’s society however; the issues that are at hand can be prevented if the parents or guardians have control over that certain juvenile. If that parent doesn’t have control of that teen there are certain places in which the parents can reach out to and get help dealing with the issues. But when it comes to parenting just because you don’t have control over that teen at that moment doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent because teens these days are dealing with issues such as high school popularity to even the issue of

Antimicrobial resistant has been called one of the world's most pressing public health problems. Every time a person takes antibiotics, sensitive bacteria are killed, but resistant ones may be left to grow stronger and multiply. Although antibiotics can help treat bacterial infections, a possible side effect is that they can strengthen certain bacterial strains. Antibiotics are supposed to be used for bacterial infections, but are wrongly being used for both viral and bacterial infections. When we use antibiotics on viral infections, deadly bacteria multiplies and becomes stronger. We can fix this problem by using antibiotics for bacterial infections only.

Everyday more and more treatment options and medications are being used to help to combat the world of drug abuse and addiction. According to the CDC about 980,000 people in the United States are abusing some form of opiates, weather it is pills or heroin. One of the newer trends of treatment that is now being used and growing rapidly is Medical Assisted Treatment (MEDICAL ASSISTED TREATMENT). As with any treatment or medication therapy there are the medical benefits and also the medical downsides. Medical Assisted Treatment was intended to help prevent people from continuing their drug abuse, but is now not only helping people but is also turning into an abused drug itself. ‘

New bacteria can eventually enter the consumer's body. According to Consumer Reports, superbugs are created very easily, “The reason for this is that when you feed antibiotics to animals, the bacteria in and around the animals are exposed to the drug, and many of them die. But there are always some that the drug can’t kill, and those survive and proliferate. Voila, superbugs." (The). In the book Omnivore’s DIlemma, the author states, “By giving antibiotics to the millions of cattle in the U.S. we are actually breeding new super bacteria that can't be killed by antibiotics” (Chevat and Pollan 60). New incurable bacteria is created and spread. Consumer Reports also explore into the misuse of the antibiotics, “Most recently in 2012, the FDA stated ‘Misuse and overuse of antimicrobial drugs creates selective evolutionary pressure that enables antimicrobial resistant bacteria to increase in numbers more rapidly than antimicrobial susceptible bacteria and thus increases the opportunity for individuals to become infected by resistant bacteria’” (The). The misuse of antibiotics can create bacteria which many people can become infected with. Using antibiotics is causing new incurable bacteria to breed, which can eventually enter the consumer's

Diagnostic and therapeutic services “determine the causes of illnesses or injuries that may include the clinical laboratory. They are responsible for studying body tissues to determine abnormalities. The diagnostic imaging center determines lesions and abnormities on body parts in radiology, MRI, CT scans, even though ultrasounds. Emergency medicine provides emergency diagnostic and treatments for patients” (Malabrigo 3). The therapeutic side includes eight different factors like physical therapy for one. “Those who provide treatment to improve large muscle mobility and prevent or limit permanent disability. It includes rehabilitation medicine. Which helps restore optimal functions to people with injuries to the muscles, tissue and nervous system such as stroke patients.

These organisms need energy from nutrients to do their job (Advanced Biotech, 1995-2015). There are two types of this, bio stimulation and bio augmentation (Advanced Biotech, 1995-2015). In stimulation, nutrients are added to the water, therefore depending on the microbes being in the water (Advanced Biotech, 1995-2015). Not all forms of microbes can break down every type of bacteria. In the process of augmentation, scientifically chosen micro-organisms are added to the water and monitored, therefore being more effective than stimulation because it is positive that the organism(s) being added are the right type and will do the job (Advanced Biotech, 1995-2015). Some benefits to this process are that it is very effective in killing the bacteria and it will work quickly once it is effective. Once the bacteria and micro-organism types are identified, this method is sure to work. Once the organisms are added, it won’t be long before they are done breaking down the bacteria. However, there are some downsides. This method could take lots of time to find the right organisms to kill off the bacteria. Not only will it take long, but it could be costly to purchase the right type of micro-organism to kill of that specific type of

The article, “Fighting the Impact of Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria” writes, “When bacteria becomes resistant to an antibiotic, that medicine becomes less effective. Medical treatment...can become more complicated, leading to longer hospital stays, increased healthcare costs, and in extreme cases, to untreatable infections.” This quote shows how after the human body becomes immune, treatment for sickness becomes arduous. Antibiotics play a colossal part in getting better when people are sick. The article also elaborates,“[antibiotic-resistant bacteria] can take away good treatment options that ...need to treat patients infections. When bacteria becomes resistant to the antibiotics typically used to treat an infection, doctors could be forced to resort to treatments not proven to be as effective, or that have more side effects”(“Fighting the Impact of Antibiotics-Resistant Bacteria”). This shows how ineffective treatment can be if consumers are exempt from antibiotics. This bacteria, that comes from eating food with GMOs, can be life threatening and can stay with consumers for the rest of their

The article Why Bogus therapies often Seem to Work by Barry L. Bayerstein, starts up by acknowledging that many people believe that some therapy treatments help them, when in reality it didn’t. There are different reasons why people think these treatments might work, and Bayerstein list all seven reasons. According to Bayerstein a disease can go away by the human body recuperation process. In other words, the human body has the ability to get rid of diseases. In order for a therapy to actually work, the number of people that have improved have to be more than the people that are expected to recover without any therapy treatment. Another reason why some therapies seem to work is because some diseases are cyclical, they tend to come and go. Normally

The medicine that is created has positive aspects to them also. They help cure bacteria that could make you really sick. In “Cockroaches could be good medicine”, it say, “Ground-up tissue from cockroach and locust brains and locust nerves, however, killed almost all the harmful bacteria”. This shows that the cockroach can cure the diseases. That still don mean it will work for everybody. Another example is in, “Frozen Poop Pills Fight Life-Threatening Infections”, it say, “Doctors have recently discovered that a fecal transplant will restore good gut bacteria that banishes the C. diff.”. This shows that the poop get rid of that infection.

John Berry of Queens University at Kingston said “although all human societies exhibit commonalities and share basic psychological processes, such underlying commonality are expressed by various groups in vastly different ways, from one time and place to another. Social factors can be a strong influence on all areas of mental disorders. They can influence the diagnosis or classification of mental disorders. They can be a part of the development of the disorders. When researching, social factors can be determining what the research looks like, what gets researched and how the research dollars are spent. With treatment, of course, we would want to look at how social factors would influence the type of treatment the patient might receive.
