This year 7,500 newborns that contract jaundice each year would develop cerebral palsy, which is now preventable through phototherapy. Finally, millions of dogs, cats, and other pets and farm animals would have died from anthrax, distemper, canine parvovirus, feline leukemia, rabies and more than 200 other diseases, which were made preventable through animal research.      Animals in research benefit humans and their fellow animals. The research has developed gene therapy, bone marrow transplantation

Based on the patient's history and symptoms some differential diagnose for the patient can be Fifth Disease from Parvovirus B19 (slapped cheeks), scarlet fever, Kawasaki disease, and measles. Fifth disease was a differential because the condition may cause a fever and a red rash on the patient's cheeks, but it can also appear on the chest, back buttocks, or arms and legs. Scarlet fever is condition that is caused by group A Streptococcus. Presenting symptoms can be a fever, a red rash with a sandpaper

showed that 83% traced some sort of remote EBV infection. Whereas, the control group of healthy children showed only 42% of present EBV antibodies. The data further showed that there was no correlation to MS when tested for other virus’ such as parvovirus B19, cytomegalovirus, and varicella zoster. This evidence supports the genetic etiology of multiple sclerosis. During childhood and adolescence, 50% of individuals contract an EBV infection, and 5% of these individuals go on to develop multiple

Good morning, I’m here to talk to you about preventative healthcare in greyhounds. My companion animal placement was with a program that organises the fostering and adoptions of greyhounds, often getting 30 dogs into foster homes and 30 dogs into adoptive homes every month. As such, they and the veterinary clinic they associate closely with are in charge of establishing a preventative healthcare routine for hundreds of dogs through their foster programs and attempting to persuade adopters to maintain

commercially available, one is a live-attenuated polyvalent vaccine. This vaccine is also referred to as a modified live vaccine. The vaccine itself typically instills host protection from multiple pathogenic viruses including Canine Distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus, and canine parainfluenza. This vaccine can be virulent in immunosuppressed animals as well among different species such as ferrets and foxes. This type of vaccine uses the a less virulent version of the live vaccine in order to produce

ANIMAL TESTING An animal test is any scientific experiment or test in which a live animal is forced to undergo something that is likely to cause them pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm. Animal testing is good and bad thing. It’s a good thing because we can get medicines to cure diseases and sicknesses. There are some good things about animal testing but also bad things. The bad things of animal testing is that it can either kill animals or cause them long lasting harm. If the animal

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS Rheumatoid arthritis is derived from the Greek word Rheumatos means "flowing". The suffix -oid means "resembling", i.e. resembling rheumatic fever. Arthr means "joint" and the suffix -itis, a "condition involving inflammation".and it gives the translation as joint inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by symmetric polyarthritis that can lead to significant joint destruction and disability (Kimberly et al., 2014). Rheumatoid arthritis

In 2014 a group organization called People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) noted that more than 100 million animals are harmed or killed during animal testing. Animal testing is cruel and inhumane. Animals are being used for medical testing, but are not being cared for before, during, or after testing. Animals and humans are very similar, in that we have the same organ system which performs the same tasks in a similar fashion. Even though animals and humans share comparable DNA, we fail

One important Healthy People 2020 initiative to discuss is the prevention of Sexually Transmitted Infections. The goal set through Healthy People 2020 (2015) is, “To promote healthy sexual behaviors, strengthen community capacity, and increase access to quality services to prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and their complications.” This health care initiative is important through-out the lifespan. It is important when trying to prevent transmission from mother to child and during sexual

An estimated 26 million animals are being tested on yearly. Animal testing has helped humanity in many ways ever since it started about 2,500 years ago. Cures have been created for many viruses and sicknesses but it has come with a cost to the animals. Animals are being put in horrendous living conditions that often cause them anxiety and pain. People in favor of animal of animal testing argue that we should keep testing on animals to further scientific research, while those against animal testing
