The first medical school was at the University of Santo Tomas. During American military rule from 1898, efforts were made to address diseases like cholera and leprosy through vaccines and a leper colony in Culion. Several hospitals and medical societies were established, including the Manila Medical Society and Philippine Island Medical Association. The University of the Philippines College of Medicine was opened and a Bureau of Science was founded.
Ascariasis
1. Ascariasis is a common intestinal worm infection caused by the roundworm Ascaris lumbricoides, which lives in the small intestine.
2. It occurs most often in children in tropical and subtropical areas with poor sanitation, where human feces can contaminate soil.
3. Symptoms include abdominal pain and swelling, coughing, vomiting, and passing roundworms or eggs in stool. Diagnosis is made by examining a stool sample under a microscope. Treatment involves anthelmintic medications like albendazole or mebendazole.
Amoebiasis report
Entamoebiasis, also known as amoebic dysentery, is caused by infection with Entamoeba histolytica. It is transmitted through the fecal-oral route by consuming contaminated food or water or through direct contact. Symptoms include abdominal cramps, diarrhea, fatigue and tenderness. Diagnosis involves examining stool samples under a microscope to look for trophozoites. Treatment involves antibiotics like metronidazole or iodoquinol to kill the parasites. Prevention focuses on proper sanitation, safe water supplies, and hygiene practices to avoid fecal contamination.
Teams and teamwork
This document discusses teams and teamwork. It defines a team as a small group of people with complementary skills committed to a common goal for which they hold each other mutually accountable. Teamwork is essential in modern organizations. For a work group to become an effective team, leadership must be shared, accountability must shift to both individual and collective levels, the group must develop a shared purpose or mission, and problem solving must be an ongoing activity. There are four main types of teams: advice teams, production teams, project teams, and action teams. Cooperation, trust, and cohesiveness are important factors for effective teamwork.
Interactive conflict and negotiations
1) There are several types of conflict that can occur at the intra-individual, interpersonal, intergroup, and organizational levels. These include goal conflict, role conflict and ambiguity, and structural conflicts between hierarchies, functions, lines and staffs.
2) Sources of interpersonal conflict include personal differences, information deficiencies, role incompatibilities, and environmental stress. The Johari window can help analyze potential interpersonal conflict situations.
3) There are basic strategies for resolving conflicts, including lose-lose, win-lose, and win-win approaches. The win-win strategy aims to solve problems rather than have one party beat the other. Negotiation skills focus on separating people from problems, interests over
Amoebiasis (1)
The document provides information about amoebiasis, including:
- It is caused by the parasitic protozoan Entamoeba histolytica which can infect the gut and liver.
- The module outlines the disease biology, epidemiology, and clinical presentation of amoebiasis across five main sections.
- Amoebiasis is highly prevalent in developing tropical and subtropical countries where sanitation is poor, allowing transmission via contaminated food and water. It causes an estimated 40,000-100,000 deaths worldwide annually.
Amebiasis
Amebiasis is caused by the protozoan Entamoeba histolytica. It commonly causes asymptomatic intestinal infection but can also cause intestinal disease ranging from dysentery to liver abscesses. The parasite exists in two forms - a motile trophozoite form and a cyst form. Infection occurs through ingestion of cysts in contaminated food or water. Most infections are asymptomatic, but 10% can cause intestinal or extraintestinal disease. Diagnosis involves stool examination and serology. Treatment involves luminal agents for intestinal infection and metronidazole or tinidazole for invasive disease. Surgery may be needed for complications like perforation or toxic megacolon.

Encephalitis
- 1. Encephalitis PRESENTED BY: Kean G. AGAPITO, RN
- 2. ENCEPHALITIS • IS SUDDEN INFLAMMATION (SWELLING) IN THE BRAIN. • IT IS USUALLY CAUSED BY VIRUSES, BACTERIA, OR OTHER PATHOGENS.
- 3. Causes Herpes simplex virus Other herpes viruses Enteroviruses Mosquito-borne viruses Rabies virus Childhood infections
- 5. RISK FACTORS Age. Some types of encephalitis are more prevalent or more severe in certain age groups. In general, young children and older adults are at greater risk of most types of viral encephalitis. Encephalitis from the herpes simplex virus tends to be more common in people 20 to 40 years of age. Weakened immune system. People who have HIV/AIDS, take immune- suppressing drugs, or have another condition causing a compromised or weakened immune system are at increased risk of encephalitis. Geographic regions. Mosquito-borne or tick-borne viruses are common in particular geographic regions.
- 8. DIAGNOSIS An MRI (brain scan) can show brain swelling, and also show whether there are other brain problems causing a patient's symptoms
- 9. DIAGNOSIS An EEG (a picture of the brain's electrical activity) will show signals that are not normal
- 10. DIAGNOSIS A lumbar puncture (spinal tap) will show whether there is an infection in the cerebrospinal fluid (which bathes the brain and spinal cord)
- 11. DIAGNOSIS Blood tests or urine tests may show whether a person has encephalitis Samples of blood or urine, or of excretions from the back of the throat can be tested for viruses or other infectious agents.
- 12. TREATMENT FOR MILD CASES •Bed rest •Plenty of fluids •Anti-inflammatory drugs— such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium (Aleve, others) — to relieve headaches and fever.
- 13. TREATMENT Antiviral drugs Cases of encephalitis due to certain viruses usually require intravenous antiviral treatments. Antiviral drugs commonly used to treat encephalitis include: •Acyclovir (Zovirax) •Ganciclovir (Cytovene) •Foscarnet (Foscavir)
- 14. SUPPORTIVE CARE Additional supportive care also is needed in the hospital for people with severe encephalitis. The care may include: •Breathing assistance •Intravenous fluids •Anti-inflammatory drugs •Anticonvulsant medications
- 15. Practice good hygiene Get vaccinations Vaccines are available for mumps, measles, rubella, and poliovirus (universal immunization) Dress to protect yourself Apply mosquito repellent. PREVENTION
- 16. THANK YOU!
