Facts About Coronavirus Disease   The Coronavirus disease is named Covid-19. It is found in nature. It’s an important virus to know because this virus can spread via human contact. It’s important to understand this virus as it’s a cause of respiratory problems in humans and animals.   When you search for Coronavirus disease, you’ll find numerous websites that promote the disease. Not only do they encourage the disease, but they also claim that this virus is deadly and dangerous. Here are some facts about this virus.   Medical experts state that this virus is harmless and is only able to transmit through infected persons. Infected individuals will pass the disease onto other people. There are no reports of those who have contracted the disease being ill and suffering from any health problems. This virus isn’t dangerous or potentially life-threatening.   Another fact is that when you have this virus in your body, it weakens your immune system. An impaired immune system leads to more exposure to the virus, so the chances of getting sick with the disease are increased.…

EVOLUTION OF NON-COMMUNICABLE DISEASE Abstract             Evolution is the transformation in the genetic composition and is mostly inheritable in the population over a long period. The scientist explains evolution into two categories which include macroevolution and microevolution. Macro evolution explains more large-scale changes that occur over a long period, for instance, the emergence of new species. Micro evolution describes the small changes which over a short period. This kind of evolution may only lead to the transformation of a small number within the members of a certain species. One of the most confusing ideologies about evolution is that it is a gradual process targeting perfection. Evolution works over a long period to eliminate errors and defects. The natural selection is watchmaker of evolution. Evolution is reflected as the increasing changes in species and population all time. Survival of the fittest an emerging term that depicts the process of natural selection and a mechanism that propels change in evolution; Natural selection facilitates by offering individuals who are better adapted to a given set of environmental conditions significance over those that are…

Role of Public Health Nurses in Preventing and Managing Communicable Diseases Infectious disease is one of the kinds that spread from one individual to another through various forms. The may include contact with body fluids or blood. Coronavirus enveloped into positive-strand RNA viruses (Paules et al. 2020), which can divide into four generations; alpha, beta, delta, and gamma. Among the four, the one responsible for infecting humans is alpha and beta. Transmission Coronavirus can be transmitted in the following ways a) Person-to-person spread The virus can quickly spread from one person to the other. That is people who are in a closer range of approximately six feet. When an infected person sneezes or coughs, the droplets can easily be move in the air to the nearby person. When it comes into contact with either the mouth or the nose, it can quickly transfer to the lungs. b) Spread through contact with infected surfaces or objects A person can get coronavirus through touching either the objects or the surfaces that have the virus on it. The infections tend to remain on…

Chronic obstructive lung diseases Chronic obstructive lung diseases refer to a group of lung diseases that obstruct the flow of air from the lungs. It causes a person to cough, breathe with a lot of difficulties, to gasp, and excessive production of mucus. The leading causes are exposure to irritating gases such as cigarettes. In most cases, people suffering from COPD are at higher risk of getting heart disease and lung cancer. Therefore, it is not a small disease because it can cause death within a short time. The leading cause of the disease in advanced nations is tobacco smoking. In some regions of the world, the main reasons are exposure to fumes from cooking fuel in poorly ventilated houses. The main risk factors for COPD are outdoor and indoor air pollution, tobacco smoking, and industrial dust. Others include chemicals in the form of vapor, fumes, and irritants. One of the leading indoor pollutants is biomass that most communities in use in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia use it for cooking fuel in poorly ventilated rooms. The leading cause…

RNA with HIV and COVID-19 DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and it is a molecule that is composed of two chains coiled around each other. RNA, on the other side, stands for ribonucleic acid it is a single chain. Despite the two molecules being nucleic acids, they differ in several ways, especially in terms of structure and composition. In terms of function, DNA is responsible for replication and storage of genetic information while RNA converts the genetic information in DNA to a more usable way. Structure wise, DNA is composed of two double helix strands while RNA is single-stranded. DNA is made of deoxyribose sugar while RNA is made up of ribose sugar, and this also differentiated the two nucleic molecules. Lastly, the two are different in terms f bases making each one of them. Both DNA and RNA have a total of four bases, three of which are similar in both cases and another one which is different in each case. This one base is what brings the differences between the two nucleic acids. The three standard bases in…

Acute uncomplicated pancreatitis Introduction: According to the guidelines, the repetitive utilization of imaging happens to be unjustified in patients who have been diagnosed with acute uncomplicated pancreatitis (AUP). The diagnosed UAP presents with increased serum amylase or lipase activity and abdominal pain with the absence of severe disease signs. The objective of this particular study is to examine the associated cost and overutilization of computed tomography imaging in patients who have acute uncomplicated pancreatitis that runs into two out of the three diagnostic criteria. Methods In this particular retrospective single-center study approved by the Institutional Review Board, we got to identify every adult patient diagnosed with acute pancreatic (AP) from the year January 2012 to October 2017. At first, patients were identified through ICD-9 code for acute pancreatitis (577.0) as well as ICD-10 codes for various etiological AP (K85.9 unspecified, K85.2 alcohol-induced, K85.0 idiopathic, K85.3 drug-induced, K85.1 biliary, and K85.8 other). There was a confirmation of diagnosis by chart review by the use of recognized non-imaging diagnostic criteria (existence of usual abdominal pains and increased amylase or lipase better than…

disease control approach Question 1 Primary prevention is a disease control approach which aims at preventing disease before it occurs. A cervical cancer screening program can promote sexual health. It will help to detect the possibility of cervical cancer in women, and this will, in turn, enhance the sexual health of women. Question 2 Secondary prevention is the disease control approach, which focuses on early detection and treatment of an infection. Opioid risk tool prevention program relates to prescription drug abuse and opioid epidemic. It assists in screening people in the primary care setting to assess their risk for opioid. Hence it would help in the prescription of the most appropriate medication to treat the opioid crisis. Question 3 SDOH are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, and work. SDOH relates to non-communicable diseases through economic factors, which makes the treatment of non-communicable diseases expensive. Thus, it usually increases the prevalence of NCDs in the world. Question 4 The core functions of public health include assessment, policy development, and assurance. Assessment entails monitoring environmental and health status…

                Lysosomal Storage Diseases Name of Student Institution Affiliation         Introduction Lysosomes are little enzymes packages. They have enclosed the sac of enzymes existing in the cytosol of the cytoplasm of the eukaryotic cell. Lack of proteins in the body decreases the chances of a breakdown. When digestion and waste removal does not take place, the cells in the body build up hence damaging cells and organs in the body. According to clinical aspects in Endocrinology, lysosomal storage diseases are a group of inherited abnormal disorders. That characterizes imaging by comparing dysostosis. Most Lysosomal conditions (LSDs) are a result of a lack of enzymes. They all get worse with time (Byrne et al.,2012). Lysosomes are vital in macromolecule metabolism. Consequently, many disorders are individually diagnosed and mostly present in childhood and at the infancy stage. Features include delay in development, blindness, dementia, and movement disorders. On the other hand, some people with lysosomal storage diseases have enlargement in different organs of the body, causing cardiac problems and bones that grow…

Coronavirus: Chinese Government dismisses health officials, WHO says the disease is a serious threat to the globe.   Two senior health officials from Hubei province, the epicenter of the coronavirus epidemic in China , were fired on Tuesday, 11, after being criticized for their management of efforts to contain the spread of the disease, which has so far left more than 1,000 dead. .
