Symptoms And Treatment Of Infectious Diseases

Whilst the mother is pregnant if the baby is exposed to toxic chemicals, foods of a certain kind, or also stress from the mother then this can permanently change the cognitive development. Infancy is one of the main times when the child begins to develop their intellectuality so this means that if any of the above have been exposed to much to the baby, when they are going through infancy they may struggle with their cognitive development. Those mothers that smoke, eat unhealthy foods or go through stress or trauma whilst they are pregnant usually notice a risk of delayed cognitive development when the child is an infant. On the other hand if the mother doesn’t smoke, eats healthy and remains stress and trauma free whilst going through the pregnancy, the infants cognitive development is usually normal.

A baby’s genes are determined at conception. If something is faulty at this stage, this can have a huge impact on the child’s development. This may be physical or intellectual. If a mother takes drugs or smokes when pregnant, there is an increased chance of delivering an underweight baby at birth. It can also lead to cognitive problems for the child as they get older.

“From the moment of conceptions human beings begin a process of change that will continue throughout the life”. (Papalia. Martorell. Human Development) It is commonly taught across many cultures that life begins when we are born. Life span development is considered to be from womb to tomb. Life's greatest miracle does not simply occur on a whim, life is constructed within a woman's body. The creation of life, conceived by a woman's egg and a male's sperm is a wonderful process. The spermatozoa joins with the ovum to create a zygote, a single cell, that will soon develop into an embryo and journey on to become a new life.

* During pregnancy-: If the mother smokes ,takes drugs, becomes ill or suffers from stress or anxiety this can result in premature birth and health problems for the baby such as -: low birth weight, undeveloped organs, problems with sight and hearing. These are all problems that could delay their development. Some children are born with conditions that could affect their development such as a blood disorder.

Life is sacred and begins at conception, but many people still debate on when human life begins. Some people believe that life does not start until the moment a

Did you know that there are at least four specific moments that can be thought of as the beginning of human life? There is the embryologic view, which is where some think life begins when the embryo undergoes gastrulation, and twinning is no longer possible; which occurs about 14 days into development. Then there is the neurological view, which depends on brainwave activity; life begins when a distinct EEG pattern can be detected, this happens at about 24 to 27 weeks. Another is the genetic view, which states that life begins with the formation of a novel genome. Finally, one can say that life begins at or near birth, measured by fetal viability outside the mother’s body. The whole issue with people being for or against the closure of Planned

However, based completely on scientific research only, life could start at any time after fertilization. A neurological view shows that when the fetus develops recognizable patterns on an electroencephalogram(EEG).”...the fetus is presumably able to engage in mental activity consistent with being human,”(Mitchell). Life could start at the point the baby is born. “Here the baby is human when the umbilical cord is cut, and the child survives based on the adequate functioning of its own hungs, circular system, etc,”(Mitchell).

As previously mentioned, environmental factors, such as exposure to taratogens, can affect the development of the unborn child. Broderick and Blewitt (2105) define a teratogen as “substances or agents that can cross the placental barrier and produce fetal deformities when taken or absorbed by the mother during pregnancy” (p.619). These substances include drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, pollution, stress hormones, poor nutrition, and diseases, such as AIDS. Consumption of drugs and/or alcohol can lead to low birth weight, as well as, physical, cognitive, and behavioral abnormalities. Furthermore, more recent studies are showing that exposure to pollutants can affect an individual’s development. For example, a study of the

There are a number of environmental influences that have the potential of affecting the development of the baby during the prenatal period. These are called teratogens. As far as how much of an effect the teratogens has, depends on the factors of “dose, heredity, other negative influences and age” (Berk 66). The main teratogens are prescription/non-prescription drugs, illegal drugs, tobacco, environmental pollution, and infectious diseases. Since the early 1940’s the developmental effects of prescription/nonprescription drugs such as ihalidomide and diethylstilbestrol have been well documented. Some of the effects were “gross deformities of limbs and genital abnormalities/malformation of the genitals” (66). Babies of users doing illegal drugs

Physicians, biologists, and other scientists agree that conception marks the beginning of the life of a human being—a being that is alive and is a member of the human species. There is overwhelming agreement on this point in countless medical, biological, and scientific writings.

The life of a human being starts when the sperm and ovum joins together to create a single cell. It then takes its form in the fallopian tubes. From day 0 until week 7, the cells go through several stages called: zygote, blastocyst, and finally develops to the embryonic stage. The zygote stage begins from day 0 and day 5. During this stage, the DNA of the father and DNA of the mother combines and a complete set of human genetic information is generated. At the completion of the zygote stage, it begins to divide and grows into another combination of cells called the blastocyst. The Blastocyst stage starts at day 5 and continues through day 10. In this stage, a few hundreds of cells develops in the lining of the uterus. The blastocyst consists

infectious and chronic disease. Government and people felt the healthcare system was not effectively combating chronic disease. There were many changes in access to care. Those insured under Seguro Primero have access to treatment and medication for even characteristically expensive diseases like pediatric cancer. The resources previously spent on health care can now be spent on other needs such as nutrition and education. Infectious diseases decreased as vaccination became more accessible due to the implementation of intervention programs and the increase in money towards healthcare. The reform made it possible for 50 million people to be covered. Certain low income areas still have lower quality in health care and funding disparities still

Life started about 3.8 billion years ago when the earth was formed as comets delivered water and energy to the earth. Then simple single cells formed and genes combined through sexual variation. Two cells merged together during sex. Genes were combined and a third cell was created as a sort of mutation when genes were duplicated. Next a few cells were so

What is syphilis? The aim of this essay is to find out if syphilis affects a particular gender or age group, and if so, how it is transmitted? Many people are unaware of this disease as the occurrence reduced considerably after penicillin became available. However, this disease is not completely extinct. “The past decade has seen a rise in new cases of the almost forgotten historic disease syphilis, particularly in certain risk groups” (Wohrl and Geusau, 2007). Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that is caused by a bacterium Treponema palladium. When syphilis is passed on sexually it is called venereal syphilis (Wohrl and Geusau, 2007). This disease can also be transmitted to an unborn child via the mother; this is called

Mr. Brown, a 73 year old male with a medical history of a total hip replacement, was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI). Experiencing a urinary retention immediately after the surgery he was catheterised. The catheter was removed 24 hours later; however, the patient showed increasing signs of confusion, urine appeared cloudy and had a strong smell (Ministry of Health, 2013). Infectious Diseases Society of America (2015) states that UTI is a common risk factor associated with a health-associated infection following a hip replacement surgery. In this case study firstly, normal and pathological conditions will be summarized. Secondly, microbiology and infection control will be outlined. Thirdly, the mode of action of the medication will be discussed and by identifying the predisposing factors acquiring (UTI) disease case study will be finalised.
