to the grey matter of the spinal cord and ‘itis’ meaning inflammation; therefore poliomyelitis is inflammation of grey matter of the spinal cord (www.wikipedia.com). It is a viral disease caused by the polio virus which belongs to the enterovirus genus; enterovirus because it infects and replicates in the intestinal epithelial and lymphoid (tonsils, Peyer’s patches) cells or tissues, they then enter the central nervous system (CNS) through the blood and infect the motor neurons. The replication in

the genus Enterovirus. Infections from Coxsakievirus A4 – A7, A9, A10, B1 – B3, as well as B5 have been found to occur occasionally. In addition, the virus Enterovirus 71 is also known to cause HMFD. However, it must be noted that it is not a general rule for Coxsakievirus A16 to be the most prevalent cause of HFMD cases. For instance, in a study of the HFMD disease that broke out in China in 2003, researchers Yan XF et al observed that over 80% of all infections were caused by enterovirus 71 while

Unit 2 Discussion 1 - Evaluating Online Health Information Coming from a background heavy in NICU and pediatric homehealth experience, I chose to create a hypothetical situation that related to a common problem that many children contract and spread. My demographic area has a large population of immigrants and lower income families, so education and effective communication is a must. Billy is a 3 year old little boy who until recently has been a happy, playful child. He is presenting with malaise

viral meningitis. Infection can also occur if the virus is on objects and surfaces then touching your face. Sometimes these viruses do not produce any symptoms, but if they do it’s something similar to getting the cold or having the flu. Non-polio enterovirus causes 10-15 million infections every year in the US.(CDC, 2014) Clinical Manifestation Some of the earliest signs and symptoms that come with Viral meningitis are having a headache, having neck stiffness, being sensitive to bright lights, nausea

As a single mother of two boys, five and thirteen, I have seen and heard a lot about a virus called the enterovirus. Not really quite understanding what I was hearing on the news and reading in the newspaper I wanted to learn more. I am the type of person who worries over everything and with every little cough or running nose my child has I couldn’t help but wonder if I should be calling the doctor to get them in to double check their symptoms. Of course my oldest son thinks I am over reacting and

Anterior Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease that attacks the anterior horn of the spinal cord. Poliomyelitis translates to grey spinal matter inflammation. Polio is caused by a picorna virus that enters the body through mucus membranes and then multiplies in the throat and being an acidophile, can survive well in the stomach and small intestine. When viremia occurs and persists, the virus will penetrate the capillary wall. Once this happens, it enters the central nervous system and begins

troubleshooting. As the control RNA also did not yield any results through the several runs attempted, it is still unknown why long template cDNA was not reliably produced for the next step of the sequencing process. It is possible further optimisation is required for cDNA to be synthesised, but funding and time constraints limited it for this study. Further studies in this area may use the same reagents and protocols used with further optimisation to yield results. Other possibilities are attempting

WHAT IS POLIO? Poliomyelitis or polio, is highly contagious viral infection that can lead to abnormal conditions such as paralysis, breathing problems, or even lead to death. The poliomyelitis is from the word “grey”, myelos referencing to the “matter” of the spinal cord, -itis meaning inflammation. So it means the inflammation of the grey matter of the spinal cord. Poliomyelitis can be categorize as either asymptomatic or symptomatic. About

Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is a mild, contagious viral infection common in young children. It is characterized by sores in the mouth and a rash on the hands and feet. Hand-foot-and-mouth disease is most commonly caused by the virus, coxsackievirus. Case Presentation A 1-year old male baby, has enrolled into a daycare facility. The parents of this baby, reported that the daycare employees documented the daily diaper changes, the child’s whereabouts and environment placement. The baby showed signs

(University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2016) due to a non-polio enterovirus infection. The rare strain known as Enterovirus 68 , EV-D68 was first isolated in 1962 in the state of California. It is one of a 100 known enteroviruses, within a group called ssRNA virus that also contains poliovirus, coxsakievirus, and echovirus. EV-D68 is non-enveloped. Unlink all other enteroviruses it displays acid liability and a lower optimum growth temperature. Enterovirus D68 was previously called human rhinovirus 87 by researchers
