Rosacea Rosacea is a chronic cutaneous disorder affecting primarily the convexities of the central face (cheek, nose, chin, and central forehead), often characterized by remissions and exacerbations (Wilkin et al., 2004). This disease is more prevalent in females, however, male patients tend to present with more severe cases (Utas et al., 1999). Rosacea subtypes Subtype 1: erythematotelangiectatic rosacea. This subtype is characterized by flushing and persistent erythema in the center of the face

Giardiasis is an infection in the small intestine caused by the pathogens in contaminated drinking water such as rivers, creeks, and in some cases tap water. This pathogen is a microscopic parasite called the Giardiasis Lamblia. Giardiasis spreads through the contact of people as well as through the feces of humans and animals. Giardiasis spreading through the contact of people is due to the fact that there are many places that are overpopulated and unsanitary. If individuals go throughout an

has no known allergies and his current vital signs are 36.8F, 115 pulse, 25 RR, 102/77, 91% SpO2. His lab work is all normal except for elevated WBC and glucose. D.D is put on a morphine PCA pump (1.78mg every 2 hours) to help regulate his pain, metronidazole (1500mg once a day) and cefTRIAXone in dextrose (2000mg once a day) to help fight the infection, oxyCODONE (3.6mg every four

Our plan of care must be based on patient teaching and instruction to help resolve the persistent gastrointestinal conditions. This patient’s treatment is going to be divided in: non-pharmacological measures (lifestyle changes) and pharmacological measures. Diet: The patient should stop eating food and beverage that can increase the acid production and irritation in the stomach such as: fast food, spicy food, seasoning food, “too hot too cold” foods and beverage-containing caffeine, cocoa, chocolate

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) or sexually transmitted infections (STI) as they are also known account for 20 million cases annually and may be more of an economic burden than realized (Decker, 2016). These infections often go untreated or reported secondary to individuals being asymptomatic or lacking knowledge of the infections and the need for treatment. The current economic burden for treating these infections is estimated to be 16 million dollars a year with individuals between the ages

Thoracic radiography was declined as the patient had a successful general anesthetic for dental prophylaxis and tooth extraction one year ago. If the histopathology report found a severe case of IBD or neoplasia and radiographs would clarify the diagnosis, then the owner would reconsider the thoracic radiography. The risks, benefits and complications of full thickness biopsies with laparotomy versus non-invasive endoscopic surgery were discussed with the owner. Due to the lack of equipment

Giardiasis is a diarrheal disease that is caused by the flagellated protozoan parasite Giardia lamblia (also known as Giardia intestinalis). Giardiasis is transmitted via the fecal-oral route. When a person is infected with Giardiasis, the parasite lives in the intestines of its host and passes through the feces. Outside the body, Giardia can survive up to a few months (CDC, 2012a). People become infected with Giardia by swallowing contaminated food or water, or touching a contaminated surface. Contaminated

(such as wet mount) and may signify symptomatic individuals with high parasite loads. On the other hand, those belonging to type 2 necessitated higher concentration of drugs to achieve lethal effect on the parasite, hence they may be linked to metronidazole resistance. An interesting factoid is a double-stranded RNA virus (commonly dubbed Trichomonas vaginalis virus) that is detected in 73% of type 1 Trichomonas isolates, but only in 2.5% of type 2 Trichomonas isolates. It is thought that the presence

Clostridium Difficile also known as C-Diff is a bacterial infection of the gastrointestinal tract of the human body. C-Diff is a gram positive bacillus, which is spore forming. C-Diff is one of the many superbug that health care workers and hospitals battle. There is a very large push by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) to educate on hand hygiene and room decontamination for patients that have tested positive for C-Diff in a health care setting. This is because the spread of the disease is
