Lupus And Cancer Case Study

What is lupus? “Lupus is a chronic, autoimmune disease that can damage any part of the body (Lupus).” An autoimmune disease can be extremely detrimental to the body. This disease occurs when the body creates an antibody that goes against substances naturally present in the body. When your body is

br> Lupus      Lupus is a potentially life threatening disease that effects about 1.5 million Americans. Lupus can effect many different parts of the body. Lupus is a type of autoimmune system disorder in which the body cannot distinguish the difference between foreign antibodies and its own organs. So basically what happens is

yoder 1 Lupus is a rare and crippleing disease. This disease is as rare as it is hard to undertand. Lupus being a not well known disease is hard to pinpoint. This disease causes insufferable pain and body problems. Such a terrible disease causes syptoms like swelling muscles, joint pains, general inflamations, organ failures, and overall fatigue. Lupus is an autoimmune disease ( AKA the autoimmune sytem attacking itself). This autoimmune disease is most common in youge woman in birth bearing age. With little known reason

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) also referred to lupus dates back to the middle ages and has made an explosion in the past 60 years. Even though more than 1.5 million Americans have lupus and 90% of lupus sufferers are women, between the ages of 15 to 44 (Lupus Research Institute),

Lupus is an autoimmune disease where your own immune system attacks not only pathogens, but your own healthy tissue. It is one of the more severe autoimmune diseases and can seriously impair the life of the sufferer if left untreated, possibly leading to death. Symptoms of the disease we now

Systematic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, systemic, autoimmune disease. This condition causes the body to mistaken its own tissues and organs as foreign bodies and begins attacking them causing continuing inflammation and pain. (Huether & McCance, 2012) The cause of SLE still remains unknown, but it is possible that is inherited as a complex trait or caused by environmental stimuli. (S) Anyone is at risk for Lupus, but is more common among women than men and is more prevalent of African Americans and Asians. (National Library of Medicine 2010, para 2) This condition can be difficult to diagnose, as a patient must present a number of the recognizable symptoms. Depending on the location that Lupus presents itself in the body, the symptoms

Lupus is a disease that can damage any part of the body, whether skin, joints, or organs inside the human body. Having lupus means something goes wrong with the immune system, which is the part of the body that fights off viruses, bacteria, and germs. Autoimmune happens and your immune system cannot tell the difference between these foreigners, nor your body’s healthy tissues and creates autoantibodies that attack and destroy healthy tissue. Autoantibodies cause inflammation, pain, and damage in various parts. Lupus is also a disease that my reappear after curing and is not contagious through sexual contact and is not like or related to cancer. Lupus can become life-threatening and should always be treated by a doctor and most people with lupus can lead a full life, “research estimates that at least 1.5 million Americans have lupus.” Anybody can get infected with lupus, any race and ethnic groups

An Autoimmune disease is very serious condition that affects millions of people around the world. Lupus is one of those Autoimmune diseases.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can happen when your body's immune system attacks Some tissues and healthy organs. It is natural that the immune system protects the body from viruses and bacteria, but in the lupus attacks the healthy tissue. this disease can called systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE. It is difficult to diagnose the disease because its signs and symptoms tend to mimic other diseases. What makes diagnosis difficult is that it can not determined from just one test but by several tests it can be determine. These tests include blood, urine and physical examination. Lupus most common in women and often of childbearing age. however, children, men and teenagers can develop this disease too. most people develop this disease between the ages of 15-44 (Anonymous, 2013). Also, Scientists believe that there are 5 million people around the world who have a form of lupus and that it spreads in African-Americans, Hispanics and Asians (Anonymous, 2016) . Lupus is like any disease it has causes, symptoms and Methods of Treatment for this disease.

Lupus is an autoimmune disease that attacks women between the ages of 15 and 40. It occurs less often in men than in women. The people affected by lupus vary depending on the country or region. In the US alone, the prevalence rate is highest among Asians of Hawaii, blacks of Caribbean origin, and Native Americans of the Sioux, Arapahoe, and Crow tribes. Lupus is a disease that affects the immune system. We can think of the immune system as an army within the body with hundreds of defenders (known as antibodies). They defend the body from attack by germs and viruses. In lupus, however, the immune system becomes overactive and creates antibodies that attack healthy tissues in the body, such as: the skin, kidneys, lungs, heart and brain.

Lupus is still somewhat of a mystery to physicians and scientists today. Historically, the disease has stumped medical professionals. The first known discovery and identification of lupus, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus, was made by Hippocrates, a Greek physician, around the time of 400 BC. The disease became more well known after many years, and by the late 1700’s, two British dermatologists Robert Willan and Thomas Bateman had started to “use the term “lupus” to describe a destructive skin disease preferentially affecting the face and the nose” (Konya, 2016). Then the modern era of lupus began in 1923, when one doctor discovered four cases with similar symptoms. The physical details of the disease became more specific and by 1967, doctors were able to find a way to test for the antibodies that were associated with the disease. In the past, people thought the symptoms of lupus resembled a wolf bite, and some theorized the skin swelling and color changing was caused by werewolves. This theory has since been proven wrong, clearly. Because of this theory though, some people with the disease may have been wrongfully mistreated in the past. Today, lupus is a disease that allows people to receive help from the government under disability status. People with Lupus are not mistreated and in most places, are even protected by disability discrimination acts.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, or Erythematous, also known as SLE, is a chronic inflammatory, autoimmune disease that transpires when the body’s own immune system assaults, with “variable manifestations”, it’s own tissues and organ systems throughout the itself1,2,3. This can also include joints, heart, lungs, skin, brain, blood cells, etc1. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is known to have an impact on the organ network involved with immune complexes and multiple antibodies, especially antinuclear antibodies, or ANAs, an abnormal antibody that is targeted to cause certain edemas throughout the body and different tissues4.

Lupus also known as the systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is an autoimmune disease which signifies that the body’s immune system attacks the healthy tissues and organs by mistake. Lupus can affect any parts of the body including skins, joints, kidneys, blood vessels and as well as cause large inflammations in the organs that are affected by the disease. When an individual is diagnosed with Lupus, their immune system becomes hyperactive and begin to attack normal healthy tissues. The immune system makes antibodies which help fights against bacteria and viruses. Lupus cause the immune system to not able to distinguish between antigens and healthy tissues. As a result of not being able to distinguish between antigens and healthy tissues, the immune system starts to direct antibodies against healthy tissues. Lupus can be mild

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a very rare and severe autoimmune disease. While the symptoms vary, lupus commonly affects the skin, joints, and mucous membrane (Brown, Bond, & Waldron, 2014). However, systemic lupus erythematosus (or lupus, for short) can become a multi-organ disease resulting in further complications. Because lupus is so rare and the symptoms vary, diagnosis is difficult and often does not occur until the disease is in its latter stages. However, in the detection of the disease, Brown, Bond, and Waldron (2014) express the importance of noticing certain common symptoms in young females, which are severe fatigue, mouth ulcers, headaches, rashes (especially those caused by the sun), and flitting arthralgasis (joint pain) and

Assessment Number AE2 Reflective Account For this written assignment, to demonstrate a reflection on my learning undertaken by completing my Long Term condition case study, and my presentation skills in the delivery of my case study on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). I have chosen to use the Kolb’s 1984 learning cycle. He believed that “Learning is the process whereby knowledge is created through the transformation of experience” (Kolb, 1984, p.38). I have chosen to use this model, as it starts with an experience, (my presentation), allows me to give a clear description/ what happened in the task, able to express and analysis my feelings throughout, evaluate my experience/situation, give a conclusion, be able to examine, determine an
