Blood-borne disease

Per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Centers For Disease Control and Prevention, 2017), Ebola is a blood borne virus that is spread to others through direct contact. Its symptoms include fever, severe headache, muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and unexplained hemorrhage. There is no documented treatment for the Ebola disease. The best care for the Ebola disease is to provide intravenous fluids (IV) and balancing electrolytes (body salts); maintain

produce massive casualties. The manner of how these diseases are introduced to human through insects will further be discussed in this paper. This paper will attempt a further analysis on the history, the distribution of the diseases worldwide, and the further impact noted caused by the diseases. Vector could be defined as an organism that does not involve in causing

C. perfringens is the species most commonly involved in gangrene, but other clostridia and several other bacteria can also grow in such wounds (Tortora, Funke, & Case, 2004). When ischemia and the subsequent necrosis created by loss of blood supply have developed, gas gangrene can advance in muscle tissue. The surgical elimination of necrotic tissue and amputation are the prevalent medical treatments for gas gangrene. When gas gangrene occurs in such regions as the abdominal cavity, the patient

Trypanosoma brucei is a parasite that causes the vector-borne parasitic disease Trypanosomiasis; also known as the African sleeping sickness. The Scientific classification of Trypanosoma is as follows: Domain- Eukaryota, Kingdom- Protista, Phylum- Euglenozoa, Class- Kinetoplastea, Order- Trypanosomatida, Family- Trypanosomatidae, Genus- Trypanosoma and Species- T. brucei. The name is derived from the Greek word trypano meaning “borer” and soma meaning “body” because of their cork-screw like motion

Controlling the spread of infection This assignment explains how diseases are transmitted from a source of infection to a defenceless host and explains the techniques used by staff as a part of clinical setting for controlling the spread of pathogens. Modern hospital infection control programmes, first began in the 1950s , The Communicable Disease Center, now known as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), began the first training course specifically for infection control and infection

fungi can be the culprit for the initial cause but overall pneumonia is spread in a number of ways. Interesting enough pneumonia is most commonly known as being in airborne pathogen but in fact it is both airborne and blood-borne. It is especially transmittable through blood-borne pathogens during and shortly after giving birth. Pneumonia is one of the largest

Americans. Also to implement measures that will lower health care costs, and to eliminate the denial of coverage due to pre-existing conditions. This paper will discuss how the policy impacts morbidity and mortality in the US, health behavior and blood-borne pathogens, and achieving goals of Healthy People 2020. How PPACA Impacts Underserved Populations There are many communities that have populations that may be considered “underserved”. Mostly their needs are unintentionally overlooked. The

Varieties of infectious diseases in the main water reserves that people supply to their cities and towns and in different countries around the world can be spread through water and influence water consumption of humans and also alter how they grow their plants and provide water for their animals. Some water- borne diseases such as Typhoid, Cholera, and Malaria can make people sick when they consume or come in contact with. Each year 1.2 trillion gallons of untreated sewage, stormwater, and mechanical

Background The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that about 385,000 needle stick injury and sharps injury occur annually among healthcare workers in hospitals (CDC, 2011). Needle stick and sharps injuries are associated with the transmission of many different pathogens, particularly blood borne pathogens such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C virus, and the human immunodeficiency virus or HIV. An estimation of half of these injuries go underreported and majority of these needle stick

differences between these mosquito-borne diseases such as who the primary victims that it affect, which time of day these mosquitoes come out to attack, which season it will most likely occur and many more. Also, the ways in which these diseases can be managed and prevented is present in the reading. This article provides phenomenal information and evidence that really contrast the two deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes. Iwamoto, M.,
