Essay B Middle School is a time in adolescent’s lives where their physical, and equally important social development, is at a delicate and crucial point. For those who inherit socially favorable genes, certain aspects of life become easy, and those individuals can go through life rather nonchalantly. However, the life of a pre-teenager and a young teenager is difficult when you’re only as tall as other kid’s sternums and weigh less than the book stuffed backpack you lug around all day. I always

1. Lipids A lipid is a group of naturally occurring molecules. That group includes fats, waxes, steroids, fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, and K) phospholipids, etc. They are broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules. The amphiphilic molecules form structures such as vesicles, liposomes, and membranes in an aqueous environment.They are insoluble in water, yet soluble in alcohol. (Human Biology) Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen but they have far less oxygen than carbohydrates

The smallest forms of the organism were virus-like, and the larger bacterial forms were comparable to what bacteriologists call "mycoplasma", "L-forms" and "cell-wall deficient forms." The largest forms of the organism resembled what Russell called "the cancer parasite." Livingston believed the organism was closely related to the mycobacteria, the species of acid-fast bacteria that

radiographic evidence, along with her fever, chills, and productive cough. The most common pathogen for an otherwise-healthy, middle-aged adult would be Streptococcus pneumoniae. Respiratory viruses, Haemophilus influenzae, and atypical pathogens (Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Legionella spp, Chlamydia pneumoniae, or C. Chlamydia psittaci) are also causes of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). Based on her CURB-65 score (an acronym for predicting mortality in community-acquired pneumonia; Confusion of new

pathogen that a cause of CAP is Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-sensitive and -resistant strains) and accounts for almost thirty percent of CAP cases. Other pathogens include Haemophilus influenza, Moraxella catarrhalis, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and influenza A. In more than half of the cases of CAP, the pathogen is never recognized (Thiem, Heppner, & Pientka, 2011). Plan of Treatment The plan of treatment would be to treat the most recent diagnosis

Introduction: This case study will examine the lower respiratory disease, Pneumonia. It will cover the aetiology, pathophysiology, signs and symptoms/clinical manifestations, treatment options pharmacological and non-pharmacological, acute and chronic complications of pneumonia, and lifestyle changes in relation to the Case Study Mr. Dudley Dawes. Aetiology Pneumonia has many different causatives; Bacterial, Viral, Fungi or Parasitic (Tannehill-Jones, 2010). If there is no infection present, the

of infective exacerbation of COPD are: Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, gram-negative Enterobacteriaceae, Klebsiella pneumonia and Mycoplasma pneumoniae (S.Sethi, 2004; T. Kawamatawong et al, 2017; King et al, 2013). b) Bronchodilators Bronchodilators can increase FEV1 (GOLD,2017). During an exacerbation of COPD, long acting preparations should be switched to short acting preparations

for cases related to over 50% of cases of acute bronchitis. There are three major types of virus that can cause bronchitis. These are  Influenza virus  Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)  Rhinovirus The major causes of bacterial bronchitis are Mycoplasma and Streptococcus pneumoniae (Pneumococcus) with protracted bacteria bronchitis usually caused by the

Toxic epidermal necrolysis is a skin disorder which leads to the detachment of the upper skin layers from the deeper skin layers throughout the body. Skin detachment leads to break in the skin barrier and makes the patient susceptible to infections. It is a very fatal condition and mortality is usually due to rampant sepsis and multiple organ failure. Etiology: According to Cohen (2016), TEN is most commonly due to an adverse drug reaction. Other less common causes are infection or idiopathic. There

According to the Center for Disease Control, pneumonia is considered the leading cause of death of children less than five years old. However, there is a way to reduce the chance of contacting this disease. A vaccine called Pneumococcal is available for people to take (Centers for Disease Control, 2014). There is not only one type of pneumonia. The type of pneumonia is based upon the way the patient contacted the pneumonia. The following are the different types of pneumonia: Community-Acquired
