The impact of HeLa cells in our society is massive. In the 1950’s the used of HeLa cells in multiple research discoveries help scientist in the virology field. HeLa cell’s researches contributed to the developed of the poliovirus vaccine that have eradicated polio from most countries in the world. HeLa cells were used to grow single cells in culture and circulated to other scientist so they can have the opportunity as well to advance in science. With HeLa cells they learned how to freeze the cells

The poliovirus enters the body through the mouth, and multiplies in the throat and intestines. It may remain unmanifested for anywhere from four to thirty-five days. Once the virus is in the intestines it has the potential to spread throughout the body by way

Since their outbreaks, many of these deadly viruses have been met with cures, saving millions of lives to come.

Emergency preparedness requires a partnership among all levels of government (local, State, and Federal) and the private sector (business and industry, voluntary organizations, and the public).

Imagine a world where an incurable disease causing the progressive destruction of nerve cells which leads to the wasting of muscles, paralysis, and death runs rampant. A different virus wreaks havoc on the liver of those infected, causing cirrhosis, liver failure and occasionally death. People perish from another disease causing pneumonia (infection of the lungs), bacteremia (infection of the blood), and meningitis (infection of the covering of the brain and spinal cord). Meningitis specifically

to two weeks after the symptoms appear. The virus can live in an infected individuals feces for weeks causing the probability to contaminate food and water highly likely. “Once a person has the poliovirus he/she is exposed to a viral reproduction in the mucosal surfaces of the nasopharynx. Then the poliovirus can multiply in specialized cells in the intestines and enter the blood stream to invade the central nervous system, where it spreads along nerve fibers. When it multiplies in the nervous system

Much research has been done to find what mental effects orphans suffer from being separated from their parents at birth. Each orphan’s brain has different responses to being separated from their parents. Many of the orphans that live in the orphanage in the passage Orphans’ Lonely Beginnings Reveal How Parents Shape a Child’s Brain showed symptoms of autism. The orphan Ruckel lives in the orphanage in Romania in the late 1980s. An orphan named Tree-ear lives in mid- to late 12th century Korea. The

Introduction: In most countries of the world, polio has been eradicated. However in developing countries, there are the cases suffering from polio. In recent years, there has been a re-emergence of polio in Pakistan and its distribution amongst the population is not evenly distributed. The purpose of this essay is to critically evaluate the need of health care professionals working in health improvement organization to add towards the wellbeing of people and reducing health inequalities.

Introduction India is a country where multiple cultures and identities live wih the notion of “unity in diversity” . also due to the distinct geographical, economical and ecological conditions , probability of influence of certain disease in various areas is probably high. One such endemic disease is poliomyelitis. A few years back India was in the list of endemic countries for poliomyelitis as announced by WHO (excluded from the list in 2012). The highly contagious disease has been a curse
