RA is autoimmune disease where the immune system is not working properly and in the case of RA involves one’s immune cells attacking healthy joint tissue. Symptoms of this condition include joint pain, joint swelling, stiffening of the joints after long periods of inactivity and/or sitting, rheumatoid nodules, flare ups and fatigue.

stimulate the production of antibodies needed for the immune system to combat it when the patient next encounters the offending agent. Our immune systems are amazing in their own right, but occasionally they need some help overcoming a few obstacles which is where vaccinations come in handy. A few people believe that vaccinations are “unnatural”. Well this is partially true in that the vaccine is not naturally occurring, but your immune system responds to the vaccine in the same way it would respond

Vaccinating is the way of administering antigenic material to stimulate an individual’s immunity to a pathogen. A pathogen is bacteria, virus or microorganism which transmits disease to a person, to prevent this from happening or spreading vaccines are administered. Throughout history there have been many once-common diseases that have existed some of which are diphtheria, polio and smallpox. The way these diseases were stopped and wiped from existence is through vaccines, they are a great example

Not only because of the affects it has on the body by the eventual collapse of the immune system, but because it is a master at evading and escaping the immune responses and antiretroviral drugs by constantly mutating and maintaining genetic variation. Vaccines are designed to recognize specific viral antigens which makes it almost impossible to develop one against HIV. Recent studies have claimed that it is the immune response that puts the selective pressure on the virus to mutate that allows it

Long term exposure in space poses multiple threats to astronauts who are tasked to complete high risk and reward missions. Some of the most prominent threats include loss of muscle mass, decrease in bone density, and weakening of the immune system. Other dangerous potential effects are alteration in circadian rhythms and exposure to radiation. Each effect either has current treatments, or are currently being researched to discover more effective forms to combat the potential dangers they pose.

(skin grafts, cornea and bone transplants) and bridging transplants (provides organ function externally). The debate of xenotransplants continues to grow; both an ethically controversial topic and still in need of new findings in relation to the immune system. The student learning intended in this analysis is the discussion of benefits and/or harmful effects of chemicals that human beings use (C12.1).

Music has the ability to move people the way no other force can. There is gravity and centripetal force that moves us physically, but music also moves us emotionally, mentally, and spiritually. Even though music has changed over the years, it has become an outlet for all ages to express emotions more vividly. However, there are speculations and studies that suggest music can negatively affect the mind and body. Acclaimed scholars are not subjective to the many attributes of music, and thus have written

in humans. HIV is a type of lentivirus, which means it attacks the immune system. In a similar way, the Simian Immunodeficiency Virus (SIV) attacks the immune systems of monkeys and apes. There is even a theory on hunters, in the Democratic Republic of Congo eating monkey and transfer the virus. These well-known diseases, travel from Africa, Kinshasa to the United States. Started off being called GRID also known as gay-related immune deficiency introduced to united state in 1981. This disease has taken

Review the YouTube video, "An Update on Adult Immunizations" featured in the Instructional Materials, and list two common misconceptions about adult vaccinations. How can you help address these misconceptions? Also list two illnesses that these immunizations aim to prevent. Do you feel the immunization is accomplishing this goal? Why or why not? If not, what is your solution? Immunizations are essential components in the primary and preventive care setting to ensure a healthier population. Immunizations

What does your histamine do? Histamine is a chemical produced, stored and has multiple roles within the body. Histamine is part of your immune system responses and is released when we have allergic reactions (a reaction could be a runny nose or sneezing). It also manages physiological functions in the gut. Histamine plays a vital role in our body’s defense system and its main purpose is to keep your body safe. - Where does your histamine come from? What processes produce it? Histamine is created
