Natural disasters are always looked at as a catastrophic event when they first occur, but the worst part for many has yet to come. Natural disasters can range from volcanic eruptions to tsunamis, but the biggest killer is usually not the disaster itself (1(pg.1)). Natural disasters can have rapid or slow repercussions with serious health, social, and economic consequences (1(pg.1)). Even though the disaster itself can kill multitudes, the outbreak of microbial diseases that sometimes follow a

ESSAY ‘The structure and importance of the plasma membrane found within and around all cells’ The plasma membrane surrounds all eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have membrane bounded organelles whereas prokaryotic cells do not. The plasma membrane forms the boundary between the cell cytoplasm and the environment. Its function are to allow different environments to be established inside and outside the cell. It also controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell.

Throughout the progression of mankind, there has always been a need to become superior in tactics and technology over an opponent. It did not take long for man to discover the effective and deadly tactic of Bioterrorism, which is the deliberate release of viruses, bacteria or other germs used to cause illness or death in people, animals, or plants. As time passes, everything about bioterrorism becomes more and more sophisticated, making it very difficult to combat with. By examining the history

Global Health Nursing: A Case of the Gambella Region Introduction In the Gambella region, cholera is a permanent problem. The area is known for overpopulation and destitute sanitation, which provides an ideal breeding ground for the Vibrio cholerae bacillus. In 2014, along with the native residents, more than 185,000 South Sudanese refugees have been vaccinated against cholera. It was Ethiopia’s first-ever mass cholera immunization that also reached South Sudanese refugees. Since then, the

Cholera is water borne and a communicable disease it is also preventable. This disease can cause people to have severe diarrhoea which the body then loses a mass amount of fluids, people then become exceedingly dehydrated which can lead to death. Vibrio cholera or V. Cholera is the bacteria found in Cholera infecting the intestines and causing diarrhoea (Cholera and the Thames, 2014). In 2014, The World Health Organisation (WHO) updated their fact sheet with key facts about Cholera. It was estimated

3. Review on small molecules a) Small molecules Small molecules are the low molecular weight organic compounds having capacity to inhibit the growth of bacteria or their virulence potential. Previously, antibiotics were used for these purposes but today we need to be curious before using antibiotics due to the developing resistance. If antibiotics develop resistance, they are no longer effective for prevention, treatment or control of diseases caused by infectious microorganisms. Researchers are

SoHo, and the Broad-Street pump, as well as the stagnant river water (due to the “sewage begin dumped into the river” (Tuthill, John Snow and The Broad Street Pump)) represents the Environment, then the Agent causing the disease would be the Vibrio Cholerae (Cholera) which is the microbe making everyone ill, and finally the Host/s would be the people consuming water from the pump and ingesting those microbes. John Snow intervened in a way on the relationship between the three parts, he did so by

Bangladesh, officially known as the ‘People's Republic of Bangladesh’ worldwide, is a country in South Asia. It shares land borders with India and Myanmar.

Cholera in Haiti In 2010, Haiti faced with two major disasters: a devastating earthquake in January and an unprecedented cholera epidemic starting in fall. Although there was a cholera epidemic in Latin America in the 1990s, Haiti never confronted such a health issue in its history. According to Walton, Suri, and Farmer (2011), cholera is part of a vicious cycle of poverty, poor sanitation, water contamination, and weak health system. However, it was not totally surprising that the poorest country

Overview: For this project, as mentioned further above, our testable question was, “How did public health and emissions from the factory system affect the progression and development of social classes and tensions during the Industrial Revolution in Manchester, England during 1830 to 1850?” Although we did touch on some scientific data, we mainly focused on historical information to answer our question through our map. For us, our main source of data was the book that included 200 individual cases
