Two Types Of Disease And Their Possible Connection With

1. Stevens-Johnson syndrome and related conditions such as TEN, chemical and burn injuries to the eye, ocular pemphigoid, or aniridia.

Vitiligo is a chronic skin disorder that affects the pigmentation of the skin. Pigment is what gives the skin color and is produced by cells called melanocytes. In the disorder, the body attacks the melanocytes resulting in the loss of color in patchy areas. When the color is lost, the affected area becomes a white irregular shaped patch on the outer layer of the skin. Vitiligo can affect a very small portion of the body or affect up to fifty percent of the skin. The most common areas of the body affected by the disorder include the hands, feet, arms, face and sometimes the genitalia. This illness can be treated but it cannot be cured

Rheumatoid Arthritis(RA) is the most common type of autoimmune arthritis. RA is a progressive and debilitating musculoskeletal disorder that affects the joints symmetrically, causing a range of systemic effects. What it causes is still not well known; nevertheless, findings of new research points towards a believe that it is triggered by a defective immune system, which causes the release of inflammatory chemicals. These chemicals cause damage to cartilage and bone, usually affecting the wrists, the joints of the hand, including the knuckles, the middle joints of the fingers and feet. While this condition can affect any joints, besides, important body organs such as the eyes and the lungs can also be affected by the inflammation that occurs as a result of this chronic condition. Only in America 1.3 million of people are affected by this ailment, and 75 % of them are mainly women. Its onset usually occurs between fourth and sixth decades; however, RA can occur at any age("Diseases And

Humoral and cellular autoimmunity play a huge role in the appearance of vitiligo. Studies have found that are some major key things that play into this disease developing such as oxidative stress damage, autotoxicity, and neurohumoral

The Chapter, "The Mystery of Disease," starts off with questions about natural selection and the evolution theory. Asking questions that most people would not think of, like, " If we can live a 100 years, why not two hundred?" or " If evolution by natural selection can shape sophisticated mechanisms such as the eye, heart, and brain, why hasn't it shaped ways to prevent nearsightedness, heart attacks and Alzheimer’s disease?". These questions make the reader wonder, what is causing the human race to continue the pattern of diseases? The authors believe there is, "a deep evolutionary view reveals the bodies of all organisms as bundles of tradeoffs, compromises and limitations that ensure that perfection is impossible." which is controversial

As the second part of this reflection paper, I selected a book ‘A Short History of Disease’ by Sean Martin. He is a writer and filmmaker also known for his other famous books like The Knights Templar, Alchemy and alchemists, the Gnostics. His films include Lanterna Magicka: Bill Douglas & the secret history of cinema. The most alluring thing which conceives me to cull this book is a history of the disease, as a medical professional, it's always tantalizing to know from where all these begins and this book reaches up to my expectations as it started from the first ever recorded disease in the history of mankind. He isn’t lying when he say this a history of the disease. He starts from the earliest bacteria to evolve on the earth, long before there was anything around to infect. This book is divided into seven chapters, each chapter describes the history of diseases in a particular era. Chapter One: Prehistory, Chapter Two: Antiquity, Chapter Three: The Dark and Middle Ages, Chapter Four: The New World, Chapter

More information is required, such as dates for all occurrences and personal medical history, allowing better insight, to possible secondary causes of osteoporosis (OP).

Erythema Infectiosum is called fifth disease. It is a mild illness caused by a virus. This virus most commonly occurs in children. The disease usually causes a bright red rash that appears on both cheeks. The rash has a "slapped cheek" appearance. Before the rash, the patient usually has a low-grade fever, mild upper respiratory symptoms, and a headache. One to three days after the cheek rash appears, a pink, lacy rash appears on the body, arms, and legs. This rash may come and go for up to 5 weeks. It often gets brighter following warm baths, exercise, and sun exposure. Your child may have no other symptoms or only a slight runny nose, sore throat, and very low fever. Complications are rare. This illness is quite

As the dean of one of the three primary schools at UC Merced, I would like to address a concern as an incoming freshman. As a participant of this growing campus-building enterprise you may be aware of the hostility surrounding the three schools in this university. Students here affix themselves with others who have the same personal goals and interests in their career field, but they act indifferent to the rest. As a university, we should maintain a tranquil environment, in which no student should feel uncomfortable or disliked because of the school or major they are related to.

Fifth Disease also known as Erythema Infectious is a viral illness caused by the parvovirus B19. It is more common in children ranging from five to fifteen years of age than it is in adults. Most children will recover quickly without having any long lasting complications. Individuals may recognize the disease by the distinctive red rash that appears on the face that resembles a slapped cheek. Fifth disease has an incubation period ranging from four to fourteen days, however it can last as long as twenty days. Did you know that fifth disease gets its name for being listed number five on the list of historical classifications of common skin rash illnesses in children?

In the stories read in class by Edgar Allan Poe and the story chosen, a reader can see that Poe’s stories are all very similar. Each story has a connection that ties to situations in his life. The stories contain death, depression, and darkness. As Poe grew up he had to witness his mother and the love of his life die of tuberculosis. Going through life Poe had to watch the people he loved and cared about die in front of him. Poe’s mood in his life was dark creating his stories to correspond with his life events.

Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is the most common and fatal genetic disease currently in the United States, affecting roughly 30,000 Americans each year (National Human Genome Research Institute, 2013). CF is an autosomal inherited disease that adversely affects the mucus and it’s production throughout the entire body. Mucus is normally a slippery substance that lubricates and protects vital organs and body systems including the lining of airways, reproductive system and digestive systems. Patients who are diagnosed with CF actually have mucus that is abnormally sticky and thick, which places them at a high risk for severe pulmonary, digestive, and reproductive problems. Specifically regarding the pulmonary system CF patients often develop clogged airways, leading to bacterial infections and breathing abnormalities such as chronic coughing, wheezing, inflammation and lung damage. As a result of this recurrent and problematic, this places the patient at an increased risk for permanent lung damage and disease. Over time due to recurrent, chronic lung infections the characteristic of the lungs begin to change as more and more scar tissue develop making them fibrotic and develop cysts.

It is thought that the updated diagnostic criteria are clearer and simpler for those diagnosing resulting in suitable and correct diagnoses being given to
