Current trends of Tuberculosis infection Tuberculosis is among the many infectious diseases affecting both already developed and developing countries in the world.1, 2,3 Research shows that infectious diseases are continuing to emerge and remerge every year. Internationally, various factors contribute to the emergence of different infectious diseases threatening human life. These factors that influence the spreading of new pathogens include aging, globalization, urbanization, tourism, and change of climate.4 Tuberculosis infection is an air transmitted disease that causes the effect on the breathing system of humans. Mycobacterium is a pathogenic organism that influences tuberculosis (TB) infection. The germ associated occurs and cause-effect when the microscopic agents of untreated TB form are transmitted from one person to the other through air spit, sneeze, and cough.1,2,3,5 Notably, the emergence and re-emergence of TB infection in the World are still high, and studies indicate there is an increase in the mortality rate of TB infected people globally.1,2,3 Particularly, the morbidity and mortality rate of TB infection in the United States has been decreasing for the past three years. Between 2016 and 2017, TB cases…

Guided Tissue Regeneration in relation to Periodontology 1:Guided Tissue Regeneration in relation to Periodontology[1] One of the most important roles of any body part is to carry out its functions properly.[2] However, somebody components fail to perform their tasks properly since they have a shortage in either the dimension or volume in terms of tissues or muscles. Therefore, there is a need to trigger the growth of the muscles in a given size or direction to enable the body organs to function as required.[3] One of the areas of the body where muscle regeneration and development are triggered to allow for the organs to carry out their duties properly is the teeth and bones. There is a process carried out targeting those muscles that are close to these organs. The muscles that are close to these organs are blocked and directed to in a specific dimension based on the area that has muscle insufficiency[4]. Image 1 When carrying out guided tissue regeneration, the process does not require the removal of body tissues or bones from any other body part.[5] The…

ways to prevent CAUTI Introduction   Healthcare associated infections (HAI) are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients (Edward et. al, 2016). Even though the percentage of the of Catheter Associated Urinary Tract Infection (CAUTI) grew considerably in the last several years, the battle against these infections has made the difference in decreasing the number of infected patients. Populations at risk are elderly patients undergoing surgery and patients with incontinence. Among other purposes, urinary catheters are primarily used for draining urine after surgeries and for urinary incontinence (Singha et. Al, 2017), which often is the port of entry for bacteria. CAUTI is becoming a very serious issue in the healthcare industry, and really problematic with patient-family relationship with the hospital. Some tragedy to prevent this HAI is for instance reinforcing hand hygiene in the healthcare setting, maintain infection control, and the use of the of some catheter coated with 100% silicone.   Search Strategy   This research was done using Frostburg University library data base. To research my articles, words such as, CAUTI and hospitalized and elderly…

MODES OF TRANSMISSION OF VIRUS CAUSING COVID-19 Modes of transmission of the COVID-19 virus Respiratory infections can be transmitted through droplets of different sizes: when the droplet particles are ˃5-10 μm in diameter they are referred to as respiratory droplets, and when then are ˂5μm in diameter, they are referred to as droplet nuclei.1 According to current evidence, COVID-19 virus is primarily transmitted between people through respiratory droplets and contact routes.2-7 In an analysis of 75,465 COVID-19 cases in China, airborne transmission was not reported.8 Droplet transmission occurs when a person is in in close contact (within 1 m) with someone who has respiratory symptoms (e.g., coughing or sneezing) and is therefore at risk of having his/her mucosae (mouth and nose) or conjunctiva (eyes) exposed to potentially infective respiratory droplets. Transmission may also occur through fomites in the immediate environment around the infected person.8 Therefore, transmission of the COVID-19 virus can occur by direct contact with infected people and indirect contact with surfaces in the immediate environment or with objects used on the infected person (e.g., stethoscope or thermometer).    Airborne transmission is…

 Dealing with Boils in Active People             Introduction A common dermatological condition in physically active people is boils. The condition is highly prevalent in athletes especially those playing contact sports due to its transfer through skin-to-skin contact. A common type of boil occurrence is a methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) which is known for its resistance to common antibiotic medication. We shall analyze various aspects of boils in physically active populations for a better understanding. Discussion Nature of the Problem A boil is a bump on the skin that is filled with pus. The pimple is more painful and can be yellowish. Boils result from infections of the hair follicle leading to the skin around the follicle to die (NCBI, 2018). The dead skin leaves a hollow pus-filled space that is known as an abscess (Shallcross et al., 2015). Several boils can occur in the same area which is referred to as a carbuncle (NCBI, 2018).  Some boils may resolve by themselves. Young athletes are often affected by the condition and have a risk of being life-threatening where they manage to…

effect of mortality on population structures Migration is an important component of population change. It is not merely the change of place by people but also is most fundamental to the understanding of the ever-changing space-content’ and ‘space-relations’ of an area. It is an instrument of cultural diffusion, social integration and results in more meaningful redistribution of population. Migration, mortality and fertility are principal determinants of growth within the absence of technological intervention, one might say almost the only determinants, but improvements in contraceptive techniques, increasing acceptance of abortion, and slackening of some traditional religious and cultural traditions have in many parts of the earth reduced the role of fertility. The effect of mortality on population structures is to cut back the component of the population during which the mortality occurs. Historically, the foremost dangerous ages were infancy and adulthood (variously reckoned per circumstances). Additionally, some epidemics of infectious diseases. Example Spanish flue had their highest mortality among young adults, whose immune systems were presumably insufficiently primed. It’s expected that the forecast bird flu epidemic will behave similarly. War differentially…
