Immunodeficiency Research Papers Samples For Students

The human immune system is a proverbial double-edge sword. On one had humans depend on the immune system, and on the other hand there are diseases as a result of its improper function. These diseases due to its disorder in its function can range from immunodeficiency states to hypersensitivity . Put in simple terms, the disorders range from doing too little to an overreaction of the system. There disorders will be considered under the following heading: immune mechanism of tissue injury, autoimmune diseases, and immunodeficiency diseases. Before we go into the details of the diseases, we would like to describe what the ...

Sexually transmitted diseases are actually becoming more prevalent among more various demographics of people. Most, especially the young, are under the impression that they are immune or at least so far away from an infected person that this could never happen to them. Meanwhile the rate of new cases of sexually transmitted diseases is on the rise.
One demographic in particular that suffers from sexually transmitted infections is women. In fact, women are three times more likely to get a positive diagnosis on Chlamydia than men. This fact and others have raised the issue of sexually transmitted diseases in ...

Immunology Disorders

The immune system is responsible for protecting the body from various parasites, bacteria, virus etc. that try to destabilize the homeostasis. Naturally, the immune system is considered one of the most important mechanisms that help us recuperate from diseases. When the immune system malfunctions and starts destroying self-cells, it leads to certain disorders. In other circumstances, the immune system may be suppressed and fail to kill disease causing cells. Here we will discuss a few disorders of the immune system.

HYPERSENSITIVITY TYPE I

Allergy or hypersensitivity type I is also known as allergic reaction or intolerance, in this scenario the immune system creates a ...

Introduction: Virology and Classification

HIV, a member of the class of viruses called retroviruses (their genetic material is ribonucleic acid, abbreviated RNA instead of Deoxyribonucleic acid, DNA, like most organisms), is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Known in full as human immunodeficiency syndrome, HIV exists as two major strains; HIV-1 and HIV-2 and is believed to have a simian source (Tang, 2009). Basically, HIV originated from simian immunodeficiency syndrome commonly found with chimpanzees and certain species of monkeys inhabiting Western Africa. The two strains of HIV, HIV-1 and HIV-2, were discovered in 1983 and 1986 respectively before being discovered in human blood ...

INTRODUCTION

In the 1980s a new disease was spreading. It was previously unknown, but seemed quite contagious and quite virulent. HIV, the Human Immunodeficiency Virus, is defined exactly as it sounds. It is a virus that causes an infection that negatively affects the immune system. That infection attacks and weakens the immune system, making an individual at greater risk for contracting other opportunistic diseases. When the immune system becomes too damaged it leaves the patient open to contracting AIDS, the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome, which essentially disables the immune system, which leaves sufferers to deal with many of unpleasant symptoms associated ...

The human immunodeficiency virus, HIV, is among the quickest known evolving entities. It multiplies sloppily, piling up lots of mutations during the process of copying its genetic material. It also multiplies at a high speed where one virus can breed billions of copies in only a single day. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome, AIDS, was first acknowledged as a new disease in the year 1981 during which rising numbers of youthful homosexual men died of strange opportunistic infections, as well as unusual malignancies (Greene). A retrovirus, now referred to as human immunodeficiency virus type 1, HIV-1, was later on keyed out as the ...

In the modern society, infectious diseases appear to cause a serious concern. They tend to carry severe economical and healthcare burden, and continue to be responsible for an alarming situation. Infectious disease do evolve in order to become established in a given human host and gradually become responsible for a life threatening situation An early detection and implementation of hygienic protocols is essential to get protection from such conditions. In such context, the present description is concerned with highlighting about HIV virus.
Briefly, HIV stands for Human immunodeficiency virus. It is responsible for causing AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome) in people worldwide. ...

Introduction

Since the early years human development has always been shaped by diseases and ways of containing them. Diseases such as small pox, Tuberculosis and now AIDS from the HIV virus have influenced the way people live in the society and their agenda in preventing and treating diseases. This research is about influence of HIV virus on human development and what the society is doing in preventing the spread of the virus. Three articles on the virus will be reviewed with a discussion that is personal based on the human development topic.

Worldwide, over two million people suffer from both human immunodeficiency virus and hepatitis C viruses concurrently. This is because the two viruses, which there currently exists no vaccines against them, can easily co-infect one person. There is, however, considerable progress in trying to come up with a vaccine for both of these, although there seems to be still no end in sight, considering the shortfalls each effort has faced.
Scientists are considering a possibility of researching on one vaccine that can tackle both viruses at the same time. This, as well, is yet to stand the test of time ...

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and its disease Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) appeared, initially, in the early years of 1980s. Since then, the disease has become one of the most important health challenges for researchers from around the world. It is considered as one of the most important killers of humans since its first diagnosis in the U.S. in 1981. The number of newly infected cases of AIDS is increasing every year. Absence of knowledge about the disease is one of the key issues leading to AIDS. Moreover, it has been found that people keep on engaging ...

Epidemiology forms the foundation of public health and nursing in its entirety. As such, understanding the demographic patterns, causes as well as effects of a disease enables the nurses to make appropriate decisions, identify the risk factors and subsequently come up with evidence-based intervention strategies to mitigate the effects of the disease. The purpose of this paper is to identify a communicable illness in Ghana and describe its history as well as its pathophysiology. Additionally, the paper will discuss the demographic patterns of the illness, risk factors of the illness and the evidence-based approaches that have been used to ...

Introduction

Human Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV) is a virus that causes Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV/AIDS reduces the immunity of the body towards infections and exposes the body mainly to opportunistic diseases. As a matter of fact, HIV/AIDS has no cure but antiretroviral (ARV) treatment measures and other prophylactic measures actually lengthen the lifespan of a person infected with the virus. Walker (2003, P. 4) argues that the HIV epidemic is more severe in developing countries especially in the sub-Saharan Africa where they attributed poverty to being the greatest factor. Additionally, due to the high rates of new infections experienced globally, there is a limitation ...

AIDS, Early pregnancy and Artificial conception are just some of the main issues commonly interrelated with fertility or reproduction, both of which are sensitive topics, that ironically must be given more attention academically.
This paper is divided in two parts. The first part tackles In-Vitro Fertilization and other kinds of artificial conception, and the correlation of AIDS, early pregnancy and prostitution, while the latter part focuses the socio-economic and health impacts of AIDS and prostitution with more emphasis on developing countries.
