In a paragraph briefly discuss the pathophysiology of the medical diagnosis- viral conjunctivitis

Viral conjunctivitis, also known as pink eye is a viral infection which causes reddening and irritation of the eye which is highly contagious. The surface of the eye is formed by the conjunctival and corneal epithelium and the tear film. Various microorganisms can come into contact with the tear film and result in infections. The reason for the virus’s attack is a result of reduced immunity and external contamination of the eye. The eye is prone to blood-borne infection and invasion from adjacent sides of the eye. A viral infection activates a leukocyte, and they replicate in the ...

Importance of Solar Energy The sun is the largest source of energy that out-powers any given human technology that could ever be produced. Only a very small fraction of the output power produced by the sun strikes the earth and yet it produces 10,000 times more energy than that used by humans on the planet. The share of solar energy in the market is below 1% of the total energy consumed while coal, natural gas and oil constitute 85% of the total consumption. However, the fossil fuels deplete over time while oil and gas cannot sustain the growing ...

Abstract

Substance abuse among nurses can be compared in ratio with the statistics of substance abuse in the general population. That means approximately 10 percent of the nurses are diagnosed with signs and symptoms of drug abuse (Dunn, 2005). The reason behind the drug abuse of nurses is to reduce the work-related stress they are experiencing (Epstein, Burns, Conlon, 2010). This will affect the safety of the patients, especially those who have several medicine intakes since the nurse will be prone to medication errors and the possibility of a shortage of medical supplies. On the part of the nursing profession, ...

Research in genomic science has helped in making diagnosis and prognosis of the disease, and potential biomarkers for the assessment ...

Dissertation: Are cognitive distortions the answer for the persistence of depression in treated Celiac disease patients?

Abstract The research suggests that Celiac patients are heavily influenced by their diagnosis. Anxiety, depression, and social isolation are all common features that sufferers of Celiac disease share. The disease functions in such a way that it forces the sufferer to remove him or herself from the social act of eating: he or she is no longer able to really be a part of the social gatherings that include food (Addolorato, 2001). However, this separation is largely invisible; many people do not realize that Celiac patients face any trouble at all in social situations. In this discussion, an investigation ...

Conventional explanations for development policy failure are legion: weak property-rights regimes; a paucity of natural resources; deficient funding levels for education, culture, and religion; and, recently, geography. Yet throughout much of modern history of development policy, policy makers have largely ignored the varying contexts in which development reforms succeed or fail. Instead, the predominate view has been to prescribe a laundry list of proposals, the so-called Washington Consensus, as the best course of action for igniting economic growth in developing countries. It is no surprise then that much bad development policy has arisen from the neglect of the country-specific ...

Styes are small collections of pus (abscess) in the eyelid caused by staphylococcus bacteria (Bessette & O'Connor, 2015). The lumps formed are painful and reddish in color (Bessette & O'Connor, 2015). Most of them develop on the inside of the eyes. External styes turn yellow and release pus in most cases and are more painful compared to the internal ones (Bessette & O'Connor, 2015). The symptoms of this condition include; a red lump on the eyelid similar to a pimple, pain on the eyelid, swellings on the eyelid and tears on the eye. The risk factors for this condition include; using expired ...

Sigmund Freud believes that people who experience anxiety unconsciously deal with it through a number of strategies called defense mechanism. Three of these defense mechanisms are Displacement, Rationalization, and Denial. Displacement happens when “the expression of an unwanted feeling or thought is redirected from a more threatening powerful person to a weaker one” (Author, Year). I have seen this many times before from my friend. Whenever he gets frustrated at work or whenever he feels tired, he tends to express his frustration towards his wife. This leads to many arguments, and sometimes, unintentional verbal abuse. One time, ...

Summary of Teaching Plan

Diabetes is a topic that has been widely mentioned in the teaching of health studies. I felt obliged to educate the community on this topic after a close relative of mine died from diabetes due to lack of knowledge and awareness. In my opinion, this topic was personal and a way of relieving the burden I have always had about no one being able to share information with my family member about diabetes. In a 30 minutes session at Mount Sinai Diabetes Centre, I was able to discuss about the different nature of diabetes their causes, symptoms and ways ...

Background

The nation of Turkey has one of the lowest rates of HIV infection in the world. While this rate has increased in the last several years, the reason is likely due to better reporting by health facilities around the country, rather than simply more infections. Also cited as part of the reason for increasing rates of infection is the recent influx of refugees and other immigrants from regions such as Africa, where infection rates are much higher than in Turkey proper. The primary mode of transmission is through heterosexual contact, although the stigma of homosexuality has probably influenced patient ...

History of dengue

Dengue is described by the World Health Organization (n.d.) as a fast emerging pandemic viral disease with worldwide prevalence. The viral disease was initially traced to the epidemics in Java and in Egypt in 1779. Some literatures trace back the virus and its vectorsto the Chin Dynasty. It was hypothesized that the disease occured in the Western hemisphere in the midddle of the 17th century and believed to originate from tropical America. However, some researchers would point out that the accounts of dengue outbreaks were traced back during the 18th and 19th century in Southeast Asia.The dengue outbreaks in ...

The Expanding Roles of Advance Nurse Practitioners

The roles of advance practice nursing have continued to develop around the globe in response to the need for specialized nursing care offered at advanced practice levels (Kleinpell, Scanlon, Hibbert, Ganz, East, Fraser, Wong & Beauchesne, 2014). Kleinpell et al., (2014) also acknowledge the development of roles for advance practice nursing to encompass components such as to perform diagnosis, prescribe treatment regimens, prescribe drugs, perform and interpret tests to aid in diagnosis. These expanded roles are also recognized by the International Council of Nursing (2013). Their definition of advance practice nursing is the practice by a registered nurse who poses ...

The concept of Compression of Morbidity was introduced by Dr. James Fries in the year 1980. According to his theory, most of the illnesses are chronic and develop in the later years of life. he postulated that the lifetime burden of a disease can be decreased if the time of onset of chronic diseases can be postponed and also if the postponement was greater than the life expectancy increase (Stanford School of Medicine). Lifetime burden of disease is not only important from the health point of view of the aged population, but it also is a major issue of ...

Sjogren Syndrome(SS) is an autoimmune disease that causes lymphocytic infiltration of exocrine glands, primarily lachrymal and salivary glands. Simply put, it is a chronic immune disorder in which white blood cells of the patient attack saliva and tear glands. At times, glands that keep the vagina moist are also attacked resulting in vaginal dryness. In normal cases, humans' immune system generates antibodies to attack harmful material as virus and bacteria. Putting the cart before the horse, the immune system in SS patients starts producing autoantibodies and autoreactive cells that start attacking those very body parts that they are ...
