Abstract Hendra and Nipah viruses from genus Henipavirus are paramyxovirus that can cause diseases that passed between animals and humans. These viruses are responsible for causing diseases that occurs at irregular intervals at some places. Like other paramyxovirus, henipavirus also have the ability to escape the host immune response due to interferon protein; this is due to P gene. The P-gene is responsible for encoding four proteins – C, P, V, & W protein. Currently no vaccines or therapeutic remedies

Welcome to the age of an agricultural revolution as everyday biotechnology continues to bring innovation to human’s most basic needs – food. Food is essential to any living organism, providing energy for our production and nutrients for our protection. Without this fundamental element, life cannot exist. Our lack to produce our own energy, like plants, causes us to become dependent on others for survival. Humans existence is attributed only to the million years of evolution our food source underwent

FLUOROMETHOLONE AND OTHER CORTICOSTEROIDS FOR INFLAMMATION SUMMARY: Cap like structures that appear on the top of both kidneys are referred as adrenal glands. As they are located above the kidney, they are also referred as ‘suprarenal glands’.1In the transverse section of adrenal gland, two regions can be identified - medulla and cortex.1The medulla region is innervated by sympathetic nervous system which helps in production and release of two important neurotransmitters - Epinephrine and Norepinephrine

This paper is for the missing hours in my term 3 clinical due to our involvement of the flu clinic. The duration of the flu clinic was only eight hours long but our normal clinic hours are a full twelve-hour shift, which is why most of my class was short four hours. This paper will cover: reason for flu immunizations; how this affects public health; what our part was at the clinic; how to get the public to participate in flu clinics; different type of flu vaccines and the pros and cons of each; safety

from an infected individual. The symptoms of malaria can vary, with the most common being fever, malaise, weakness, gastrointestinal complaints (e.g., nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea), neurologic complaints, headaches, chills, cough, back pain, and myalgia (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2013). Malaria can be serious or even fatal to a person who is infected. Identification and treatment of malaria needs to be done rapidly through laboratory testing and treatment with the use of antimalarial

multi organ failure (involving at least 3 or more organ systems), and desquamation of the skin, typically of the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, 1-2 weeks after the onset of acute illness. The clinical syndrome can also include severe myalgia, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, and nonfocal neurologic abnormalities. (Venkataraman, 2014) ” Toxic Shock syndrome can also lead to surgical debridement and amputation (Willey, 2014).” At time of discovery, toxic shock syndrome was more prevalent amongst
