Childhood Immunizations

Spring - 2016
Vaccination is a medical manipulation during which certain antigen of the infectious agent is being administered into the organism to induce the primary immune response. The first contact with the antigen is being accompanied by activation of the immune system and the emergence of a subpopulation of lymphocytes, which are able to specifically recognize the antigen. As a result, during the contact with the infectious agent, the immune system is able to react faster. While the purpose of vaccination is the prevention of disease, it can still occur, but in less severe form and with minimal ...

The primary function of a vaccine program is not merely to protect the individual from the dangers of certain diseases, but to protect society as a whole through a concept known as herd immunity. Herd immunity is the byproduct of widespread vaccination programs; these programs protect everyone in society, even those who have not been vaccinated, by slowing or even halting the spread of diseases within the population (Dalgleish, 1996). The goals of the vaccination program are to reduce the spread of communicable diseases in high-risk populations, and to reduce the long-term need for care in these same populations. In addition, the ...

Abstract
The issue of malaria and its effect on the world is one of grave concern. Many organizations have come together to find ways to eradicate the mosquitoes that cause this deadly disease. Nearly half of the population in the world is at risk of contracting malaria. However, most of the fatal cases of malaria occur in the sub-Saharan Africa, while countries in Latin America, Asia, and the Middle East record a smaller number of deaths from malaria. The statistics are alarming, and with the advance in travels, war, and ...

Recently United Kingdom research community has proposed several challenges in computer science research with the ambition for development implementation in a wide research area. These Grand challenges would address areas in Non-classical computation which would include the exploitation of the natural world such as DNA and quantum computing in order to develop new areas of computations key being the artificial immune system (AIS). This has been well commented considering the lack of certain issues key being the lack of thought in areas of AIS, theoretical work and the limited view of the immune system. However it has to be agrees ...

Introduction

There are a lot of ways to tackle an existing or a relatively new disease and one of the most effective ones is by proper conduct of infection control procedures. Infections are most common in hospitals where even the health workers (what more the patients) could be affected. According to an article published by Medline (2011), a lot of people die inside hospitals simply because of poor infection control SOPs. A result of poor infection control often results in a spread of infection.

Objectives of Infection Control

Every individual is vulnerable to suffer from serious illnesses especially the ones that are contagious. One of the primary aims ...

Many would consider job stress as non-existent especially when their jobs are not demanding. It occurs primarily when the job requirements supersede the individual capability, capacity and resources to meet the set objectives. It has been established that job stress can be consequential especially in terms of health. Therefore, when the job necessities are excessive, an individual lacks the ability to cope with the excess pressure (Maravelas, 2005). The response to job stress is considered to be specific to a person. This is because what one would consider stressful would not be the same for another. In addition, the ...

Vaccination for children

It is better to prevent it than to cure it. That is the advocacy of all the health organizations throughout the world. Vaccines are a type of weapon that can be used in order to shield oneself from the known diseases, and sometimes, with diseases that have yet to find remedy to them. A vaccine is a biological agent that is injected to our bodies in order to provide immunity to their corresponding ailment (WHO, n.d.). Nowadays, more and more diseases are discovered with the advancement of technology. However, not all are able to find the cure for all ...

Introduction

Huxhold, Miche and Schuz (2013) conducted a study on the on the importance of informal social settings in the old age. The study has exceptionally useful findings. In their longitudinal study that targeted middle-aged and older adults, these authors assessed the age-deferential effects of having family or friends in the old age. The study showed that social associations have an impact on the well-being of old people. The type of social association (with family or friends) determines whether the impact is positive or negative. Huxhold, Miche and Schuz (2013) examined the impact of having close friends and/or family in the ...

Defending the Guilty
In 1840, Lord William Russell, an English nobleman was murdered. There was strong evidence that his butler, Courvoisier may have perpetrated the crime. Despite the strong circumstantial evidence, the butler maintained his innocence and was duly represented by his lawyer, Charles Phillips. During the court proceedings, Phillips vigorously defended his client as expected. At this point, Phillips would have already known the guilt of his client. In fact, it would be reasonable to believe that Courvoisier might have already admitted his guilt to his lawyer before the later accepted the case. During the course of ...

ABSTRACT

The American society has often been described as sustaining a stereotypic and negative perception towards older adults. Contrary to other types of categorization of individuals such as racism and sexism, ageism has received relatively insignificant attention. Ageism leads to discrimination in social-economic aspects such as medical attention, business, and social gatherings among others. This paper discusses the social separation of the old and the young people that leads to ageism. It also discusses ageism in the modern American society that was started by changes from agricultural to industrial based economies thereby rendering elderly land owners less powerful and authoritative in ...
