Concept explainers

Viral Infections

Viruses are abundantly found, minute entities that have genetic material enclosed within a protein coat. The proteinaceous material enclosing the genetic material of the virus is called a capsid. The genetic material could be either DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) or RNA (ribonucleic acid). A virus is too minute to be looked at with naked eyes and therefore visualized with the help of a microscope. They are acellular entities that require a host for processes, such as replication, transcription, translation and multiplication. Plants, animals, and bacteria act as host wherein the virus reproduce. Viruses cannot multiply outside the host's body and thus are considered nonliving outside the host body.

Question

Background
You and your friends are driving to the mall; it is late October. A public service announcement
comes on the radio urging people to get their flu vaccinations. You are a second-year nursing
student and you mention that the nursing staff at your university is holding a vaccine clinic next
week.
Your friend Susan says, "I'm not getting a flu shot! Last time I did, it gave me the flu." Others in the
car agree with her. But Heather asks you if it's true that the vaccine can give you the flu.

Hi, can you kindly make 3 concepts that is related to the research topic which is "Compromising own health care in hospitals due to covid-19 virus. Here's the format below: Concept 1: (Title that is related to the research topic as mentioned above") Definition: (meaning) Description: (Functions, importance, features, effects, disadvantages and advantages) Concept 2 and Concept 3 are same to concept 1's format but each have different title.
One objection many people have about vaccinations is the amount and variety of chemicals in them. Many people don't realize how easy the ingredients are to find — they're required in the product inserts for each vaccination produced. Using the internet, go and find a product insert for a typical vaccine (e.g. influenza vaccine, HPV vaccine, hepatitis B vaccine, etc.). Identify each component contained within it, the amount of that component, and briefly describe what that component does. Go to http://www.vaccinesafety.edu/package_inserts.htm

Part 1: Background In September of 1982 Mary Kellerman gave her 12 year old daughter a painkiller when she awoke during the night complaining of a sore throat. At 7 am the next morning, her daughter was found collapsed on the bathroom floor, and later pronounced dead. Adam Janus, a postal worker in another Chicago suburb also died unexpectedly, though originally it was thought he had suffered from a heart attack. While his family gathered to mourn their loss, his brother and sister became ill and later died. In the days that followed, three more unexplained deaths occurred in nearby Chicago suburbs. Investigators found that all of the victims had taken an extra strength Tylenol hours before their death. They suspected that someone had tampered with the medication. Symptoms exhibited by each of the victims included: weakness, dizziness, sleepiness flushed, bright red, skin tone headache shortness of breath and rapid breathing vomiting confusion and disorientation Part 2:…

The Importance of Children Vaccination In the late 1700s, Edward Jenner a practicing doctor in England inserted some fresh cowpox from a woman to a small boy as a medical experience. The boy never contracted smallpox which developed the idea of vaccination. Vaccination is among the greatest invention in the field of health. They have saved millions of lives for over 50 years. Before the development of measles vaccine, millions of Americans suffered from the disease per year and thousands were hospitalized (Kluger). Most vaccines administered to children are 90% to 99% effective in disease prevention. However, there is a challenge where some people doubt the efficiency of vaccines and thus do not take their children for vaccination. The main concern to parents is a myth that autism is caused by vaccines. Vaccines aid in preventing children from contracting deadly diseases and in containing diseases so that they don’t spread to others. When a child is born, their immune system is not…
As conversations about vaccines goes on around the various social media platforms,why would scientists want to study these conversations and what might they may be able to learn from these social networks?
Some older vaccines used a weakened strain of the pathogenic virus in the injection in the hope that the weakened virus would induce an immune response without causing disease. The virus vectors used in genetic engineering have all the harmful virus genes cut out and replaced with the foreign gene, such as one that makes a protein that is absent in the human patient. Which type of viral vaccine would you prefer to take as the safest option? Why?
In 2007, then–Texas governor Rick Perry became the first governor in the United States to mandate by executive order the vaccination of all Texas girls aged 11–12 for HPV, arguing that the vaccine prevented cancer. Some conservatives criticized Perry, arguing that the vaccine would encourage sexual promiscuity among children and young adults. The Texas legislature overturned the executive order, and Perry later reversed himself, saying the order was a mistake. Do you think states should require boys and girls to be vaccinated for HPV? Discuss reasons for and against such a requirement.
