Penicillin

started by Henry J. Kaiser for his employees featured a pre-paid program that paved the way for Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) 40 years later. During the 1950’s, advances in medicine in diagnostic techniques (x rays), lifesaving drugs (penicillin), and inoculations against diseases (polio), had created a scientific culture that included laboratory technicians, therapists, widening roles for nurses, and increasing physician specialization. U.S. government research and health institutions…

• For this write-up, I will be focusing on strep throat in adolescents and adults, and will expand on the background of this sickness, prevention, and treatment. Strep throat is a bacterial infection caused by streptococcal bacteria, and it generally occurs in the pharynx. Since it is a bacterial infection, it can spread from person to person extremely easy. This may be why adolescents are very susceptible to this illness, because they tend to share drinks, food, and other objects with…

Professors in charge of the experiment even gave local doctors a list of the patients, and told them not to treat those men. The study continued for an unplanned 40 years. Even when penicillin (an antibiotic) became available in 1935 and was proven an effective cure for syphilis, these doctors did not include it on the treatments, but instead continued to use the men in this horrifying project. As a result of this study, 423 medicine…

want to live long and happy lives without having to worry about deadly diseases or not being able to live comfortably. Those issues don’t go away on their own though. It is because of field research that people are lucky to have discoveries such as penicillin and (education?-look through case studies). As the amount of regulations increase, scientists have little room to breathe when doing research. Numerous opportunities are being lost as the amount of limitations increase. It is our…

Nwizu Chidinma Precious Juliana Rodriguez Jade Mancini A boil, also called a furuncle, its a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium results to a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Boils are filled with pus. Boils clustered together are called carbuncles. Boils are bumpy, red, pus filled lumps around a hair follicle that are tender, warm, and very pain, they are the sizes of pea or…

the blood [24]) and common flu viruses (which is given yearly to sufferers) help prevent pathogens from causing sickness. In addition, patients are given antibiotics such as penicillin, as the long-term use of penicillin will not pose any risks to your child’s health [21] [22]. In other words using the antibiotic penicillin, for a long duration of time, will not affect your child’s…

closely supervised and regulated. From past examples, we learn that sometimes researchers can become so obsessed with their research that they would strip their subjects’ human rights and dignity. For example, in the Tuskegee Experiment, “even after penicillin became a standard cure for the disease in 1947, the medicine was withheld from the men. The Tuskegee scientists wanted to continue to study how the disease spreads and kills.” The poor black men weren’t even given a slight chance to choose…

Technology of the 1920s Today, technology is being improved every year, every month, every day, every minute, meaning that the phones and computers and websites and anything technology we use today may be obsolete tomorrow. That is why technology is fascinating yet also mysterious, but it hasn’t always been this way. A long time ago in the b.c. age, technology was not anything like it is now. Back then it took years, sometimes decades, for new technology to pop into a scientist or artist or…

Throughout time, animal testing has made extraordinary breakthroughs in the scientific world. In today’s society, we find new, catastrophic, and life-threatening diseases each year; however, through the use of animal testing, we’ve been able to find cures for some of the most devastating illnesses. The use of animal testing has cured many diseases and saved millions of human lives. Also, none of the alternatives to animal testing could ever completely replace animals. We need to have animal…
