Opportunistic infection

Science is the root of our planet, our living and everything around us. If we want to improve our living standard or solving the problem of the whole world, we should make used on science and this is technology. “The science of today is the technology of tomorrow. “Said by Edward Teller, A Physicist in US. Every new technology we have invented right now, will become a piece of puzzle of our future. A picture of a high living standard is what we all want to see and that’s why we must spend more…

component to think about it how oncology patients are immunocompromised, so we need to be vigilant about not wanting to introduce any bacteria in these lines. Being immunocompromised increases the risk of getting an infection, so it is crucial to follow proper technique to avoid infection…

Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease, caused by the bacteria genus Leptospira, that can cause a variety of symptoms and which, untreated, may lead to meningitis, kidney damage, or even death (“Leptospirosis”). Leptospires, bacteria of the genus Leptospira, appear as tightly coiled spirals and achieve optimal growth at 28-30°C, thriving in warm and humid regions. However, because most tropical, humid countries are also developing counties, chances of exposure are greater in those areas (Levett).…

Frederick Griffith experiment: In the early 1920’s, a young British army medical officer Frederick Griffith began studying Streptococcus pneumonia. Pneumonia, a lung infection caused by the bacterium Streptococcus pneumonia is a serious case of death at that time. Frederick Griffith was studying the possibility of creating a vaccine. During Griffith’s experiment, his experiments suggesting that bacteria are capable of transferring genetic information through a process of transformation. He…

The downtime takes about a week. Apart from having swollen red cheeks and red pimple marks that seemed to have bled, I did not find any other risks involved except infection as they were open wounds.

Septic shock is that reducing the blood flow suddenly when a serious infection leads to organ failure and very low blood pressure. The heart attempts to reimburse by raising the volume of blood pumped. Acute kidney…

biopsy to try and find the cause of the infected organism. 2. What is the importance of a Histopathological Examination? The Importance of a Histopathological examination is to try and find a faster way to examine infections and diseases. So it can help figurize the disease/ infection you have. 3. What are the setbacks of Microbiologist trying to identify organisms? The setbacks of Microbiologist trying to identify organisms are trying to identify…

After viewing every episode of the Rx for survival (2005), series, I would usually commence my paper by brainstorming and responding to the questions asked (if one were given). A paramount aspect of every assignment was to create an outline and addressing what I believed to be the critical issues in that particular episode. For example, in The Rise of the Super Bug, I primarily wanted to discuss the reason MDR-TB was on the rise in developing countries and how the behavior and beliefs of a…

Great pandemics and epidemics have occurred all throughout our world’s history. They have destroyed civilizations, devastated families, and took away innocent people’s lives.
