Germ Theory Of Disease
Hand washing is the most important method of avoiding sickness and germs spreading. According to WHO, it is always important to wash hands to
not only remove visible dirty but also to kill disease causing pathogens. We should wash our hands when:
They are visibly dirty
Before touching raw meant such as beef or chicken
After changing adults or infant nappies
After touching pets or animals
After going to toilets
Before eating
Before preparing food items
After contacting with any body fluids like vomit, urine and blood
After blowing our noses or sneezing
Doctors mostly use alcohol based hand rubs instead of periodically washing their hands since they handle patients, very old people and very young
children (M Worboys, 2008).
This experiment goes hand in hand with the Germ theory of disease which states that many diseases are caused due to the presence and actions of
specific pathogens within the body. Washing hands with soap and water is among the best and the cheapest way to reduce the number of disease
causing micro–organisms in many situations. If soap and water are not available, experts recommend that alcohol–based hand sanitizes containing at
least 60% alcohol should be used (J Waller, 2004).
Alcohol based sanitizes quickly reduce the number of pathogens even though some Sanitizers do not eliminate all germs. Hand ... Show more content

The success of hand washing is determined by a couple of factors namely; presence of clean cold or warm running water, soap, scrubber and a clean
piece of towel. With these equipments, doctors recommend that one should wet his or her hand with clean warm or cold running water, and then apply
soap. Then lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap. Ensure you lather between your fingers, under your nails and back of your hands.
Afterward scrub your hands for like twenty seconds to ensure that all germs die. After that, rinse your hands well under clean–running water. Using a
clean towel, dry your hands or dry them in the air (J Waller,

Why Are Germs Bad
Germs Germs are chemicals in our bodies that can either be good or they can be bad for us. Germs are tiny organisms that can cause a disease.
According to Frontier it says, "Germs are so small and sneaky that they creep into our bodies without being noticed. In fact, germs are so tiny that
you need to use a microscope to see them. " There are 4 different types of major germs: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Protozoa. Germs can be in
plants, animals, and people. Germs affect everything around, that is why people should wash their hands and use hand sanitizer after they touch their

There are 4 types of germs; Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Protozoa. Bacteria are tiny cell "creatures" that invade bodies, plants, or animals and
cause sickness'. According to Frontier it says, "Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections." Sometimes,
bacteria is good for you and sometimes it is bad. Viruses are the next type of germ that is bad for people, animals, and plants. Most viruses can't live
unless they are in a living organism like a plant, animal, or person. According to Frontier it says, "When viruses get inside people's bodies, they can
spread and make people sick. Viruses cause chickenpox, measles, flu, and many other diseases." Another type of germ that isn't healthy for any living
organism is Fungi. Fungi is are multi–celled, plant–like organisms. According to Frontier,"Unlike other plants, fungi cannot make their own food from
soil, water, and air. Instead, fungi get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. They love to live in damp, warm places, and many fungi are
not dangerous in healthy people." The last type of germ that is bad for the body etc. is protozoa. Protozoa is a one–celled organism that like moisture

Analysis Of My Dietary Intake
Analysis of My Dietary Intake
Mingyang Hou
Queens University

From my 3–day dietary report, I found out that my average intake of Alpha–Tocopherol, otherwise known as vitamin–E, is far from my goal intake.
Based on the analysis, my goal daily intake should be 15 mg but my actual intake is 3.22 mg, which is far from enough. In this paper, I will analyze
the reason for my low intake and how to change this situation by improving my diet. Looking at my daily intake, I realize I have only been consuming
one third of what I should be having of vitamin–E. Vitamin–E is an antioxidant serving as one of the body's main defences against oxidative damage.

In my current diet, there is a sufficient lack of fresh vegetables, which are high in vitamin–E. Since most of the food I ate are either deep fried or
cooked with high heat in the cooking process (for example vegetable stew), the heat destroys vitamin–E. Firstly, I can change my way of eating
vegetables from cooked product to salads. Salad dressing and shortening are high in Vitamin–E, and they are easily found in the school cafeteria. Salad
with dressing can provide me with most of the vitamin–E I need, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise made from safflower contains 3.0 mg of it and 1 teaspoon
of canola oil contains 2.4 mg. Vegetables themselves also contain vitamin–E, if I have salad twice a day that will take up to half of what is needed
everyday. Another reason I am not getting enough is because I eat a lot of white bread and white long–grained rice, which all have the grain germ
removed during production. However, wheat germ is a good source of vitamin–E; therefore, if I switch from white bread to whole–wheat bread and
white rice to brown rice, it will increase my vitamin–E intake. Since 30 grams of wheat germ contain 6 mg of vitamin–E, by introducing them into my
diet I will make up the other half of my daily need for it. As for snacks, I could start eating more nuts since they only contribute to a small amount, it

Guns Germs And Steel
In Jared Diamonds book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, he outlines the major factors that have contributed to both European colonization, and subsequent
Indigenous defeats, as well as to globalization. Specifically, I will be expanding on the factors that contributed to Fernando Pizarro's miraculous, and
somewhat unlikely defeat of the Incan emperor Atahualpa at the battle of Cajamarca. Francisco Pizarro's defeat of the Incan Emperor Atahualpa with
only 168 Spaniards compared to an Incan army 500 times more numerous is seen historically as being a success by Diamond. This success can be seen
as being a conglomerate of different attributes rather than one single reason. To begin, the Spanish's far superior technological advancements gave them
a... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
In his book, Technology, Disease, and Colonial Conquests, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries: Essays Reappraising the Guns and Germs Theories, he
argues that Cajamarca itself could be considered more of a coup d'etat than an actual battle. As Raudzens explains, according to the Spanish
chronicler, Garcilo de la Vega, the "battle" was a diplomatic conference, where the guest negotiators happened to turn on their hosts, when they were
themselves most vulnerable. To Raudzens, this "battle" seems to have proven nothing about the military power of the Spanish, but rather of their
nastiness over the Incas. Another point expanded on by Rautzens is the "Guns and Germs" theory propagated by Diamond. To Rautzen, the
technological implications of the battle were a greater factor than that of disease, as disease did not directly impede on the battle itself. As Garcilo de
la Vega described about the battle, the Spanish's battle tactics consisted of cannon and Gun fire, followed by a charge of 62 cavalry, and lastly
completed with armored men on foot. To Raudzen, many of these points are over–dramatized in many accounts. Both the horses, and the guns of the
Spanish inhibited a large shock effect among the Inca, but their guns could only fire once and were few. As for the horses, the majority of the fighting
was taking place in an urban setting, which limited their maneuvering ability. Also the Incas did possess body armor, though it was not up to par with
that of the Spanish's steel.He also agrees with most scholars, (e.g. Diamond, Ibid, Hyman and Orish) in that the majority of the fighting took place
with swords. He ends by suggesting that rather than Pizarro's victory being one of a technological sort, it was one in which was more marginal than

Arguments Against Germs
Today, whenever a person gets sick, he/she can conveniently go to the doctor's office to get a diagnosis and are typically prescribed a variety of
antibiotics or treatments that help you recover quicker. But with the emergence of various diseases such as HIV, cancer, tuberculosis, etc. treatments
and modern medicine can do little to combat these viruses. Germs have higher chances to develop a resistance to drugs if they aren't used properly.
Specifically germs can adapt and evolve to their environment faster than almost any other organism. Experts estimate that "700,000 people die around
the world each year from drug–resistant germs, and they expect the number to grow sharply"(Withnall). In 2016 the United Nations convened for a
special session for the fourth time in their history to discuss a health issue that's "the greatest future threat to our civilization" (Withnall).

Guns Germs And Steel Summary
Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond is a thought–provoking book that looks for an explanation as to why some societies are more substantially
successful than others. Diamond explains, this is a study of history's "haves" and "have nots." The author makes many compelling arguments that
indicates the difference between human societies is not because of differences with the intelligence of different people, but the differences in their
environments. Diamond argues Eurasia has always been more materially successful because the Eurasian land mass and environment has obvious
natural advantages. He supports his argument by explaining three major points,there were more varieties of grains for large scale farming, more

He explains one of the most important results of the human domestication of farm animals was a transfer of diseases between animals and people.
Farm animals are the main reason smallpox, flu, plague, and many other diseases affected the human population. This is important because according
to Diamond, "The winners of past wars were not always the armies with the best generals and weapons, but were often merely those bearing the
nastiest germs to transmit to their enemies." (ch.11 p.189) Wars were not always won by the armies with the best weapons, they were often won by
the armies with the most contagious or deadliest diseases. Although the domestication of larger animals brought many struggles, they did prove to be
a great advantage. All large animals that could be domesticated were domesticated by 2500 BC. Some animals were not domesticated due to the fact
that they were too violent, they didn't grow fast enough, or they did not do well in captivity. However, people did discover 14 animal species that
proved to be extremely helpful. The animals were used for transporting goods, producing food, or for farming. In chapter 13 Diamond says "necessity is
sometimes the mother to invention" (p.232) The flourishing of inventions requires acceptance within a society, which is influenced by the invention's

Anthony Van Leeuwenhoek made one of the earliest microscopes this lead to the discovery of micro–organisms which he called animalcules. Joseph
Lister developed the microscope in 1830.
Louis Pasteur put forward the germ theory in 1861 this consisted of micro–organisms cause decaying matter. Pasteur never showed the link between
bacteria and human disease. Robert Koch further developed Pasteur's theory. Koch succeeded in what Pasteur did by linking one microbe with a
disease. The first disease Koch worked on was anthrax, which Davaine had also worked on. Davaine found that in you inject a health animal with a
small dose of the disease they won't contract the disease. But Koch was able to further his research on the disease and its life cycle. It was the work
of Pasture and Koch that opened the door for other researchers to identification of disease–causing and lifesaving treatments.

The Germ Theory Of Modern Medicine And Vaccines
Morgan Brewer

H. English III
10 November 2015
The Germ Theory The germ theory is crucial in the development of modern medicine and vaccines. It states that many diseases are caused by the
presence of specific microorganisms within the body and that infectious diseases caused by infectious agents. It was a theory developed in the middle
1800's, by Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and Joseph Lister. This theory still underlines contemporary bio–medicine. It's responsible for the reduction in
the numbers of infectious diseases. The development of the theory eliminated environmental, diet, and climate influence on disease. The germ theory is
closely associated with existing ideas about health, hygiene, and sanitation. It encouraged the reduction of disease to simple interactions with
microorganisms and their host. The development was largely initiated largely by the Industrial Revolution. Infections and disease have been the biggest
challenge to human health. This theory is also known as the Pathogenic Theory of Medicine. It revolutionized medicine, understanding diseases, and
the microorganisms that cause them. "Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi; the
diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another" (World Health Organization). They evolve from four main different types of
germs. These are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are single celled

Book Review
Why do the origins of every major civilization lead to European conquest and settlement? How did Europe somehow gain the upper hand so early in
history? Gun, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies delivers a clear theory as to why the Europeans were able to conquer almost the entire
world in less then one millennium. Jared Diamond, an esteemed historian takes readers on a journey through time. He explains that through many
different factors and resources, Europe was able to conquer nearly every civilization due to three major factors, guns, germs, and steel. Diamond
constructs the majority of his arguments based upon the political, economical, and natural differences and variances between each continent. In the
prologue, his friend Yali asks the question, "How did Europe end up with all the 'cargo'?" This question was never fully answered but Diamond goes
on to explain how Europe used this so–called "cargo" to exploit every weakness of smaller and less developed civilizations. So the question remains,
how did Europe get so lucky when it came to their natural resources and supplies? Many people think that the "cargo" found in Eurasia was
unquestionably responsible for allowing the European colonies to conquer almost every other society. In spite of the fact that Diamond constructs most
of his argument based upon this point, others believe that the cargo had nothing to do with Europe's success.

Ovarian Cancer Case Study
Question #1 The first primary genetic consideration is that the risk for ovarian cancer is 8%–24% for women with a BRCA mutation. This also implies
that any child a woman with this mutation has, will have a 50% chance of inheriting the BRCA gene because they are autosomal dominant genes.
(Norris, Spelic, Snyder, & Tinley, 2009, p. 73) A second primary genetic consideration is that BRCA genes are autosomal dominant genes, which
means that these genes are equally likely to be passed on to a female or a male child from a parent with a BRCA mutation (Norris, Spelic, Snyder, &

Question #3 The National Ovarian Cancer Coalition (2012) stated that ovarian cancer is the fifth leading cause of death related to cancer in
women ages 35 to 74 and is estimated to occur in one out of 75 women during their lifetime (What is the general outlook for women diagnosed with
ovarian cancer section, para. 1). Survival rate depends on which stage the cancer is in when it is diagnosed. If caught and treated early, survival rate
is over 90% but if caught in or after stage III, the rate of survival can be 28%. (NOCC, 2012, What is the general outlook for women diagnosed with

There are three common cell types in which, ovarian cancer is formed. Surface epithelium cells cover the outer lining of the ovaries and form
epithelial tumors that can either be benign (noncancerous) or cancerous carcinomas. Epithelial tumors are the most common and most dangerous out

were first derived in 1998 by Thomson et al. and induced pleuri potent stem cells(iPSCs) in 2007(Thai Journal of Obstetrics and GynaecologyApril

Guns, Germs, and Steel
In his work, "Guns, Germs, and Steel" (W. W. Norton, New York, NY, 1997) Jared Diamond attempts to explain why human history has carried out
the way it has, he often refers to accounts from history to support his argument. Accounts that will be deemed adequate will discuss specific groups of
people, at a specified period of time. Diamond suggests that guns, germs, and steel are three contributing factors for why the world is in its current
state. It is not difficult to recognize while reading, that the book spends a large amount of time talking about germs and much less text discussing
guns and steel. In "Guns, Germs, and Steel" Diamond does adequately account for the historical development of guns and steel, in the way he
accounts for the role of germs in the history of human societies. It is no debate that germs played a massive role in many important events in history,
but guns came late, were not very effective at first, and steel production was most important militarily. Diamond goes into incredible detail, especially
in his chapter "The Lethal Gift of Livestock" of his proposed history of germs in relation to humans. He considers the difference in domesticated
animals in the old world and new world, attributes their power to the downfall of the Incan and Aztec empires when he writes, "...the most advanced

Good Germs, Bad Germs
Many books that can be read will captivate you, can give you another world to live in, can sweep you off of your feet and never set you back down

The development of the chick involves fertilization, division and growth of living cells, and segregation of cells into groups of special function
(tissues). Once the egg is laid, some embryonic development has happened and then usually stops until proper cell conditions are met for the incubation
to resume. At the beginning of the stages, the cells are alike, but as the embryo develops, cells are specialized. After the start of incubation, a thick
pointed layer of cells become visible caudal or tail end of the embryo. From the primal start, both the head and backbone of the embryo develop.
The digestive tract forms and the blood islands appear. Later on, the blood islands would develop into a vascular and blood system. The second day
of incubation, the blood islands link and begin to form a vascular system, while the heart is formed elsewhere. By the 44th hour of incubation, both
the vascular system and heart join, and the heart starts beating. By the end of the third day of incubation, the beak begins forming. And limb buds for
the wings and legs are seen. The chicks body turns 90В° and turns it's left side on the yolk. Both the head and tail get closer so the embryo forms a

researchers, the government still made no head way in the development of mass production of vaccines that would save American citizens if
biological attacks did happen. Critical decisions were made based on the amount of money that would be needed to front the production of vaccines,

Now, think about how many germs are on the ground, with millions of people walking on it everyday. The thought of millions of different types of
germs coming in contact with a person's feet is disturbing. Going barefoot is basically inviting germs to enter your feet and cause trouble. Shoes, on
the other hand, are the barrier between having healthy feet and germ infested feet. Thus, the importance of shoes correlates with a person's health, as
it negates contact between a foot and the ground. Besides protecting your feet from injuries and germs, shoes can be utilized for leisure. They
provide cushioning, support, and comfort to a person's feet. Walking barefoot can be painful for some individuals, especially if it's outside. That
being said, shoes are multidimensional and can aid a person in many ways. Also, it is said that shoes correct and improve bad posture. Unless being

Microorganisms : The Germ Theory
The germ theory states that many diseases and therefore pathogens are caused by the present and action of specific microbes. (Sciencemuseum.org.uk,
2017) The theory was developed and proven by two scientist, Louis Pasture in the 1860's followed by Robert Koch in the later decades. The original
theory was linked to spontaneous generation, which infers to the apparent appearance of life in some supposedly sterile environments. The germ theory
was less controversial when Pasture underwent an investigation involving the actions of the bacteria yeast on the fermentation process of wine. Pasture
observed that the skins of grapes contain small amounts of yeast which aided the fermentation process to produce wine. During fermentation he noted
that the yeast appeared healthy and budding, but soon observed under the microscope, other microbes among the yeast cells, causing the wine to turn to
vinegar. (Big Picture, 2017) Through the analysis of several experiments shown in figure 7, involving the actions of wine fermentation in different
environments Pasture prove that fermentation only occurred when acquiring contact with dust in the air and more specially the bacteria on the dust.
(Animalresearch.info, 2017) This is the bases of microbiology.
Since then many studies and investigations have been designed around pathogenic microorganisms to gain a developed and scientific understanding of
how they function, what factors affect their growth, what diseases they cause and how to reduce the amount present in an environment.
(Sielearning.tafensw, 2017)
Pathogens can be transmitted through direct contact and indirect contact. Direct contact refers to the disease–causing microbe passed from one
infected organism to another susceptible organism though physical contact. (Delaware Health and Social Services, 2017) Indirect contact is the spread
of pathogens through water source or the atmosphere and contaminated surfaces or objects such as food. (DHSS, 2017) Pathogens are most commonly
spread through waterborne bacterial diseases. Once an environment has been contaminated the spread of bacteria is immanent unless the conditions of

The Germ Theory
"In the light of the germ theory...[d]jseases are to be considered as a struggle between the organism and the parasites invading it." The aforementioned
quote, by Henry Gandle, a professor of physiology at Chicago Medical College, characterizes the germ theory through the collective human struggle
against disease inducing microorganisms. In a period of discovery, where the nature of various germs and diseases were brought to light, the common
conception encompassed a war between humans and diseases; this analogy to a war implicates a united effort on the part of the human race in battling
these dangerous microorganisms. Tomes writes in The Gospel of Germs not only of the different scientific discoveries associated with the emergent

In the Southwood–Smith excerpt, he depicts the ideal method of quarantine as influenced by "neither ancient prejudices, nor an excess of anxiety to
avert possible danger, should induce the continuance of restrictions inessential to their object." In other words, Southwood–Smith acknowledges not
only the active societal biases, but also that these partialities can enter the medical realm through prejudicial treatment of disease. A society with such
prominent discrimination, including in those with medical clout, has the capacity to formulate racial and class bias in germ theory that is but an
extension of already existing anxieties concerning other 'less well off' members of society. Rather than bringing people together in response to the fear
of disease, quarantine had the capacity to create a more segregated society praying on the middle and upper–class fears of disease spreading through
the other, discriminated members of society. African Americans are among the societal groups that lacked the societal cohesiveness Tomes attributes to
the gospel of germs insofar as they remained segregates and relatively uneducated on the new germ theories in comparison to other members of society.

Throughout Guns, Germs, and Steel, Jared Diamond explains the importance of geography in the ways ancient civilizations grew and spread and
how some areas were more advanced than others. He began his research when he was asked a question by a Papua New Guinea residence, Yali. Yali
had asked Diamond "[w]hy you white man have so much cargo and we New Guineans have so little?" At that point Diamond had no answer and he
was curious to find out why Eurasia had a head start in civilizing people meanwhile the other continents were behind. As a result, several differences
were made between countries that did not have the same resources as those who were advanced. Some of the developing countries were poor and they
had to rely on whatever was given to them through nature. When Diamond went to Papua New Guinea, he discovered that the residences of the island

Hand sanitizer is cheap and works well at getting rid of germs. Therefore, it is smart to stock up on a few bottles of hand sanitizer to place throughout
the office. Although your employees might not think about carrying around their own personal bottles of hand sanitizer, they will be more likely to use
it if it is distributed in handy places throughout the building.

humans became farmers. Because of close contact with farm animals, the number of human diseases exploded. Measles come from dogs, flu comes
from pigs, anthrax from sheep, and tuberculosis from cows. People in tight knit farm communities spread these illnesses easily. Around 1347, the
Black Death spread from Asia to Africa and Europe. Within five years it killed at least one third of all Europeans. In 1492, Christopher Columbus

physical or environmental problems such as low sperm counts or poor motility of sperm in males or endometriosis in females (Todd, 2015) and

One of the prominent men behind the germ theory was Robert Koch, a German physician, who laid the foundation for the theory. Koch
experimented on animals because he noticed what most people saw as a mystery. He used a microscope to look at blood that belonged to cows
that died of anthrax. Koch discovered that there were tiny bacteria shaped like a rod and supposed that it was a disease called anthrax. Out of
curiosity, he transported the bacteria to mice, which also acquired anthrax. His observation of the transportation of anthrax led Koch to create the
four standards that determines that a certain germ can cause a specific disease. Koch's criterion famously known as Koch's Postulates and are still
commonly used. His third postulate is, "the disease must be reproduced when a pure culture is inoculated into a healthy, susceptible host." In other
words, a disease is able to multiply when a clean group of germs introduces itself to a vulnerable animal to house the germs. Robert Koch launched
the germ theory for other great minds to enhance by discovering a disease and creating a set of principles. Many scientists say that several people
saw his great idea and followed him on the way to discovery, but others opposed it. One of the followers was Louis Pasteur who seems to get most of

During the early stages of embryo development, a multitude of signals are being released, some of which specify a cell, such as the neural plate,
somites, and notochord, to a dorsal fate. In earlier experiments done by Spemann and Mangold in 1924 that if the dorsal lip of the of the early gastrula
was transplanted to a more ventral position in the embryo, the embryo would develop a new secondary axis. The study showed that the organizer
respecified the original tissue to develop neural tissue instead. This suggested that the dorsal lip played a key role in signaling to determine cell fates
in early embryos. Several of the signals observed in the organizer were BMP antagonists. However, in previous ... Show more content on

Sox2, which is a marker for the neural plate, was observed in each of the knockdowns that were performed. In each case, there was little to no effect on
the Sox2 marker and most the neural plate developed. This indicated that there was some overlap in the BMP antagonists or that other signals were
responsible for the neural plate development (Khokha et al., 2005). The two results from the single and double knockdown experiments were tested by
a morpholino that targeted three antagonists, follistatin, chordin, and noggin. A ОІ–catenin morpholino was also injected into the embryo to test
whether another signaling pathway was responsible for the development of the neural plate (Heasman et al., 2000). Both these experiments resulted in
the absence of the neural plate. Another observation that was made was that the dorsal mesoderm was also absent when ОІ–catenin and the FCN
morphant was injected into the embryo (Khokha et al., 2005). This suggested that BMP antagonist is not only needed for neural plate development,
but it is also needed for the dorsal mesoderm to develop. To show that the absence of the neural plate and dorsal mesoderm was a result of the BMP
morphant and not some other reason, two rescue experiments were performed. Puffer fish noggin mRNA was injected into the FCN morphant, which
resulted in the reappearance of the neural plate and the dorsal mesoderm. Another possible explanation for the absence of the two tissues could have

Germ Theory Of Disease

  • 1. Germ Theory Of Disease Hand washing is the most important method of avoiding sickness and germs spreading. According to WHO, it is always important to wash hands to not only remove visible dirty but also to kill disease causing pathogens. We should wash our hands when: They are visibly dirty Before touching raw meant such as beef or chicken After changing adults or infant nappies After touching pets or animals After going to toilets Before eating Before preparing food items After contacting with any body fluids like vomit, urine and blood After blowing our noses or sneezing Doctors mostly use alcohol based hand rubs instead of periodically washing their hands since they handle patients, very old people and very young children (M Worboys, 2008). This experiment goes hand in hand with the Germ theory of disease which states that many diseases are caused due to the presence and actions of specific pathogens within the body. Washing hands with soap and water is among the best and the cheapest way to reduce the number of disease causing micro–organisms in many situations. If soap and water are not available, experts recommend that alcohol–based hand sanitizes containing at least 60% alcohol should be used (J Waller, 2004). Alcohol based sanitizes quickly reduce the number of pathogens even though some Sanitizers do not eliminate all germs. Hand ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The success of hand washing is determined by a couple of factors namely; presence of clean cold or warm running water, soap, scrubber and a clean piece of towel. With these equipments, doctors recommend that one should wet his or her hand with clean warm or cold running water, and then apply soap. Then lather your hands by rubbing them together with soap. Ensure you lather between your fingers, under your nails and back of your hands. Afterward scrub your hands for like twenty seconds to ensure that all germs die. After that, rinse your hands well under clean–running water. Using a clean towel, dry your hands or dry them in the air (J Waller,

" There are 4 different types of major germs: Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Protozoa. Germs can be in plants, animals, and people.

There are 4 types of germs; Bacteria, Viruses, Fungi, and Protozoa. Bacteria are tiny cell "creatures" that invade bodies, plants, or animals and cause sickness'. According to Frontier it says, "Bacteria can reproduce outside of the body or within the body as they cause infections." Sometimes, bacteria is good for you and sometimes it is bad. Viruses are the next type of germ that is bad for people, animals, and plants. Most viruses can't live unless they are in a living organism like a plant, animal, or person. According to Frontier it says, "When viruses get inside people's bodies, they can spread and make people sick. Viruses cause chickenpox, measles, flu, and many other diseases." Another type of germ that isn't healthy for any living organism is Fungi. Fungi is are multi–celled, plant–like organisms. According to Frontier,"Unlike other plants, fungi cannot make their own food from soil, water, and air. Instead, fungi get their nutrition from plants, people, and animals. They love to live in damp, warm places, and many fungi are not dangerous in healthy people." The last type of germ that is bad for the body etc. is protozoa. Protozoa is a one–celled organism that like moisture and often spread diseases through water and moisture. Some protozoa cause intestinal infections that lead to diarrhea, nausea, and belly ...

  • 4. Analysis Of My Dietary Intake Analysis of My Dietary Intake Mingyang Hou Queens University 10211370 From my 3–day dietary report, I found out that my average intake of Alpha–Tocopherol, otherwise known as vitamin–E, is far from my goal intake. Based on the analysis, my goal daily intake should be 15 mg but my actual intake is 3.22 mg, which is far from enough. In this paper, I will analyze the reason for my low intake and how to change this situation by improving my diet. Looking at my daily intake, I realize I have only been consuming one third of what I should be having of vitamin–E. Vitamin–E is an antioxidant serving as one of the body's main defences against oxidative damage. Since vitamin–E is helpful at preventing free radical damage, not eating ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In my current diet, there is a sufficient lack of fresh vegetables, which are high in vitamin–E. Since most of the food I ate are either deep fried or cooked with high heat in the cooking process (for example vegetable stew), the heat destroys vitamin–E. Firstly, I can change my way of eating vegetables from cooked product to salads. Salad dressing and shortening are high in Vitamin–E, and they are easily found in the school cafeteria. Salad with dressing can provide me with most of the vitamin–E I need, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise made from safflower contains 3.0 mg of it and 1 teaspoon of canola oil contains 2.4 mg. Vegetables themselves also contain vitamin–E, if I have salad twice a day that will take up to half of what is needed everyday. Another reason I am not getting enough is because I eat a lot of white bread and white long–grained rice, which all have the grain germ removed during production. However, wheat germ is a good source of vitamin–E; therefore, if I switch from white bread to whole–wheat bread and white rice to brown rice, it will increase my vitamin–E intake. Since 30 grams of wheat germ contain 6 mg of vitamin–E, by introducing them into my diet I will make up the other half of my daily need for it. As for snacks, I could start eating more nuts since they only contribute to a small amount, it will make up for days where intakes are ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 6. Guns Germs And Steel In Jared Diamonds book, Guns, Germs, and Steel, he outlines the major factors that have contributed to both European colonization, and subsequent Indigenous defeats, as well as to globalization. Specifically, I will be expanding on the factors that contributed to Fernando Pizarro's miraculous, and somewhat unlikely defeat of the Incan emperor Atahualpa at the battle of Cajamarca. Francisco Pizarro's defeat of the Incan Emperor Atahualpa with only 168 Spaniards compared to an Incan army 500 times more numerous is seen historically as being a success by Diamond. This success can be seen as being a conglomerate of different attributes rather than one single reason. To begin, the Spanish's far superior technological advancements gave them a... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In his book, Technology, Disease, and Colonial Conquests, Sixteenth to Eighteenth Centuries: Essays Reappraising the Guns and Germs Theories, he argues that Cajamarca itself could be considered more of a coup d'etat than an actual battle. As Raudzens explains, according to the Spanish chronicler, Garcilo de la Vega, the "battle" was a diplomatic conference, where the guest negotiators happened to turn on their hosts, when they were themselves most vulnerable. To Raudzens, this "battle" seems to have proven nothing about the military power of the Spanish, but rather of their nastiness over the Incas. Another point expanded on by Rautzens is the "Guns and Germs" theory propagated by Diamond. To Rautzen, the technological implications of the battle were a greater factor than that of disease, as disease did not directly impede on the battle itself. As Garcilo de la Vega described about the battle, the Spanish's battle tactics consisted of cannon and Gun fire, followed by a charge of 62 cavalry, and lastly completed with armored men on foot. To Raudzen, many of these points are over–dramatized in many accounts. Both the horses, and the guns of the Spanish inhibited a large shock effect among the Inca, but their guns could only fire once and were few. As for the horses, the majority of the fighting was taking place in an urban setting, which limited their maneuvering ability. Also the Incas did possess body armor, though it was not up to par with that of the Spanish's steel.He also agrees with most scholars, (e.g. Diamond, Ibid, Hyman and Orish) in that the majority of the fighting took place with swords. He ends by suggesting that rather than Pizarro's victory being one of a technological sort, it was one in which was more marginal than ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Arguments Against Germs Today, whenever a person gets sick, he/she can conveniently go to the doctor's office to get a diagnosis and are typically prescribed a variety of antibiotics or treatments that help you recover quicker. But with the emergence of various diseases such as HIV, cancer, tuberculosis, etc. treatments and modern medicine can do little to combat these viruses. Germs have higher chances to develop a resistance to drugs if they aren't used properly. Specifically germs can adapt and evolve to their environment faster than almost any other organism. Experts estimate that "700,000 people die around the world each year from drug–resistant germs, and they expect the number to grow sharply"(Withnall).

  • 8. Guns Germs And Steel Summary Guns, Germs, and Steel by Jared Diamond is a thought–provoking book that looks for an explanation as to why some societies are more substantially successful than others. Diamond explains, this is a study of history's "haves" and "have nots." The author makes many compelling arguments that indicates the difference between human societies is not because of differences with the intelligence of different people, but the differences in their environments. Diamond argues Eurasia has always been more materially successful because the Eurasian land mass and environment has obvious natural advantages. He supports his argument by explaining three major points,there were more varieties of grains for large scale farming, more species of large animals could... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... He explains one of the most important results of the human domestication of farm animals was a transfer of diseases between animals and people. Farm animals are the main reason smallpox, flu, plague, and many other diseases affected the human population. This is important because according to Diamond, "The winners of past wars were not always the armies with the best generals and weapons, but were often merely those bearing the nastiest germs to transmit to their enemies." (ch.11 p.189) Wars were not always won by the armies with the best weapons, they were often won by the armies with the most contagious or deadliest diseases. Although the domestication of larger animals brought many struggles, they did prove to be a great advantage. All large animals that could be domesticated were domesticated by 2500 BC. Some animals were not domesticated due to the fact that they were too violent, they didn't grow fast enough, or they did not do well in captivity. However, people did discover 14 animal species that proved to be extremely helpful. The animals were used for transporting goods, producing food, or for farming. In chapter 13 Diamond says "necessity is sometimes the mother to invention" (p.232) The flourishing of inventions requires acceptance within a society, which is influenced by the invention's ...

Louis Pasteur put forward the germ theory in 1861 this consisted of micro–organisms cause decaying matter. Pasteur never showed the link between bacteria and human disease. Robert Koch further developed Pasteur's theory. Koch succeeded in what Pasteur did by linking one microbe with a disease. The first disease Koch worked on was anthrax, which Davaine had also worked on. Davaine found that in you inject a health animal with a small dose of the disease they won't contract the disease. But Koch was able to further his research on the disease and its life cycle.

  • 11. The Germ Theory Of Modern Medicine And Vaccines Morgan Brewer Mrs. Canuette H. English III 10 November 2015 The Germ Theory The germ theory is crucial in the development of modern medicine and vaccines. It states that many diseases are caused by the presence of specific microorganisms within the body and that infectious diseases caused by infectious agents. It was a theory developed in the middle 1800's, by Louis Pasteur, Robert Koch, and Joseph Lister. This theory still underlines contemporary bio–medicine. It's responsible for the reduction in the numbers of infectious diseases. The development of the theory eliminated environmental, diet, and climate influence on disease. The germ theory is closely associated with existing ideas about health, hygiene, and sanitation. It encouraged the reduction of disease to simple interactions with microorganisms and their host. The development was largely initiated largely by the Industrial Revolution. Infections and disease have been the biggest challenge to human health. This theory is also known as the Pathogenic Theory of Medicine. It revolutionized medicine, understanding diseases, and the microorganisms that cause them. "Infectious diseases are caused by pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or fungi; the diseases can be spread, directly or indirectly, from one person to another" (World Health Organization). They evolve from four main different types of germs. These are viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are single celled ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 12. Guns, Germs, And Steel Guns, Germs, and Steel Book Review Why do the origins of every major civilization lead to European conquest and settlement? How did Europe somehow gain the upper hand so early in history? Gun, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies delivers a clear theory as to why the Europeans were able to conquer almost the entire world in less then one millennium. Jared Diamond, an esteemed historian takes readers on a journey through time. He explains that through many different factors and resources, Europe was able to conquer nearly every civilization due to three major factors, guns, germs, and steel. Diamond constructs the majority of his arguments based upon the political, economical, and natural differences and variances between each continent. In the prologue, his friend Yali asks the question, "How did Europe end up with all the 'cargo'?" This question was never fully answered but Diamond goes on to explain how Europe used this so–called "cargo" to exploit every weakness of smaller and less developed civilizations. So the question remains, how did Europe get so lucky when it came to their natural resources and supplies? Many people think that the "cargo" found in Eurasia was unquestionably responsible for allowing the European colonies to conquer almost every other society. In spite of the fact that Diamond constructs most of his argument based upon this point, others believe that the cargo had nothing to do with Europe's success. Did Europe have ...

(Norris, Spelic, Snyder, & Tinley, 2009, p. 73) A second primary genetic consideration is that BRCA genes are autosomal dominant genes, which means that these genes are equally likely to be passed on to a female or a male child from a parent with a BRCA mutation (Norris, Spelic, Snyder, & Tinley, 2009, p. 73).

Accounts that will be deemed adequate will discuss specific groups of people, at a specified period of time. Diamond suggests that guns, germs, and steel are three contributing factors for why the world is in its current state. It is not difficult to recognize while reading, that the book spends a large amount of time talking about germs and much less text discussing guns and steel. In "Guns, Germs, and Steel" Diamond does adequately account for the historical development of guns and steel, in the way he accounts for the role of germs in the history of human societies. It is no debate that germs played a massive role in many important events in history, but guns came late, were not very effective at first, and steel production was most important militarily. Diamond goes into incredible detail, especially in his chapter "The Lethal Gift of Livestock" of his proposed history of germs in relation to humans. He considers the difference in domesticated animals in the old world and new world, attributes their power to the downfall of the Incan and Aztec empires when he writes, "...the most advanced native societies of North America...their destruction was accomplished largely by germs alone."(373–373, Diamond) It is fact that populations ...

His second reason explains that Europeans are disappearing anyways and it's wrong to talk about them dominating the world. His third objection states that we must understand other societies and that the question implies that some are better than others. 3.A "Eurocentric" approach to history is a way of teaching history, mainly focused onEurope, while ignoring the other countries such as China, India, Japan, Southeast Asia, or other societies. 4.Diamond believes that everyone's intelligence is based on where they live and grew up.

The development of the chick involves fertilization, division and growth of living cells, and segregation of cells into groups of special function (tissues). Once the egg is laid, some embryonic development has happened and then usually stops until proper cell conditions are met for the incubation to resume. At the beginning of the stages, the cells are alike, but as the embryo develops, cells are specialized. After the start of incubation, a thick pointed layer of cells become visible caudal or tail end of the embryo. From the primal start, both the head and backbone of the embryo develop. The digestive tract forms and the blood islands appear. Later on, the blood islands would develop into a vascular and blood system. The second day of incubation, the blood islands link and begin to form a vascular system, while the heart is formed elsewhere. By the 44th hour of incubation, both the vascular system and heart join, and the heart starts beating. By the end of the third day of incubation, the beak begins forming.

  • 28. Microorganisms : The Germ Theory The germ theory states that many diseases and therefore pathogens are caused by the present and action of specific microbes. (Sciencemuseum.org.uk, 2017) The theory was developed and proven by two scientist, Louis Pasture in the 1860's followed by Robert Koch in the later decades. The original theory was linked to spontaneous generation, which infers to the apparent appearance of life in some supposedly sterile environments. The germ theory was less controversial when Pasture underwent an investigation involving the actions of the bacteria yeast on the fermentation process of wine. Pasture observed that the skins of grapes contain small amounts of yeast which aided the fermentation process to produce wine. During fermentation he noted that the yeast appeared healthy and budding, but soon observed under the microscope, other microbes among the yeast cells, causing the wine to turn to vinegar. (Big Picture, 2017) Through the analysis of several experiments shown in figure 7, involving the actions of wine fermentation in different environments Pasture prove that fermentation only occurred when acquiring contact with dust in the air and more specially the bacteria on the dust. (Animalresearch.info, 2017) This is the bases of microbiology. Since then many studies and investigations have been designed around pathogenic microorganisms to gain a developed and scientific understanding of how they function, what factors affect their growth, what diseases they cause and how to reduce the amount present in an environment. (Sielearning.tafensw, 2017) Pathogens can be transmitted through direct contact and indirect contact. Direct contact refers to the disease–causing microbe passed from one infected organism to another susceptible organism though physical contact. (Delaware Health and Social Services, 2017) Indirect contact is the spread of pathogens through water source or the atmosphere and contaminated surfaces or objects such as food.

A society with such prominent discrimination, including in those with medical clout, has the capacity to formulate racial and class bias in germ theory that is but an extension of already existing anxieties concerning other 'less well off' members of society. Rather than bringing people together in response to the fear of disease, quarantine had the capacity to create a more segregated society praying on the middle and upper–class fears of disease spreading through the other, discriminated members of society.

These procedures however, are only applicable for cases which involve physical or environmental problems such as low sperm counts or poor motility of sperm in males or endometriosis in females (Todd, 2015) and therefore can not help people that have genetic issues with their gametes which is a more difficult issue to overcome. Currently couples that have sterile gametes can only resort to donor banks for sperm and/or eggs which removes one or both parents as genetic contributors to the embryos make up however recent research in embryonic stem cells and pluripotent stem cells have lead researchers to hypothesise their use to create new gametes for male and females with their own genetic material thus allowing them to have biological children (Bhartiya, Hinduja, Patel, & Bhilawadikar 2014).

  • 38. Revolutionary Germ Theory: The Great Minds Responsible Essay Revolutions happen because of the need to change the present. As a result, the transformation could favor one team or help a group of people in the positive cases. The revolution in medicine, especially the germ theory of disease was a huge wake up call for most people. Germ theory was quite possibly the most important part of the revolution of medicine. It informed the people of the existence of germs and the importance of hygiene. There were many revolutions in history. Most were bloody, but the outcome of this revolution was eternal and the stepping–stone of medicine and surgery. Robert Koch, Louis Pasteur, and Joseph Lister contributed to the ever–changing germ theory that started many profound discoveries and understandings. It takes ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... One of the prominent men behind the germ theory was Robert Koch, a German physician, who laid the foundation for the theory. Koch experimented on animals because he noticed what most people saw as a mystery. He used a microscope to look at blood that belonged to cows that died of anthrax. Koch discovered that there were tiny bacteria shaped like a rod and supposed that it was a disease called anthrax. Out of curiosity, he transported the bacteria to mice, which also acquired anthrax. His observation of the transportation of anthrax led Koch to create the four standards that determines that a certain germ can cause a specific disease. Koch's criterion famously known as Koch's Postulates and are still commonly used. His third postulate is, "the disease must be reproduced when a pure culture is inoculated into a healthy, susceptible host." In other words, a disease is able to multiply when a clean group of germs introduces itself to a vulnerable animal to house the germs. Robert Koch launched the germ theory for other great minds to enhance by discovering a disease and creating a set of principles. Many scientists say that several people saw his great idea and followed him on the way to discovery, but others opposed it. One of the followers was Louis Pasteur who seems to get most of the credit for the start of the germ theory. Pasteur was a French microbiologists and a dedicated man ...

  • 40. The Early Stages Of Embryo Development Mark Jones Writing Assignment 3/5/2017 During the early stages of embryo development, a multitude of signals are being released, some of which specify a cell, such as the neural plate, somites, and notochord, to a dorsal fate. In earlier experiments done by Spemann and Mangold in 1924 that if the dorsal lip of the of the early gastrula was transplanted to a more ventral position in the embryo, the embryo would develop a new secondary axis. The study showed that the organizer respecified the original tissue to develop neural tissue instead. This suggested that the dorsal lip played a key role in signaling to determine cell fates in early embryos. Several of the signals observed in the organizer were BMP antagonists. However, in previous ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Sox2, which is a marker for the neural plate, was observed in each of the knockdowns that were performed. In each case, there was little to no effect on the Sox2 marker and most the neural plate developed. This indicated that there was some overlap in the BMP antagonists or that other signals were responsible for the neural plate development (Khokha et al., 2005). The two results from the single and double knockdown experiments were tested by a morpholino that targeted three antagonists, follistatin, chordin, and noggin. A ОІ–catenin morpholino was also injected into the embryo to test whether another signaling pathway was responsible for the development of the neural plate (Heasman et al., 2000). Both these experiments resulted in the absence of the neural plate. Another observation that was made was that the dorsal mesoderm was also absent when ОІ–catenin and the FCN morphant was injected into the embryo (Khokha et al., 2005). This suggested that BMP antagonist is not only needed for neural plate development, but it is also needed for the dorsal mesoderm to develop. To show that the absence of the neural plate and dorsal mesoderm was a result of the BMP morphant and not some other reason, two rescue experiments were performed. Puffer fish noggin mRNA was injected into the FCN morphant, which resulted in the reappearance of the neural plate and the dorsal mesoderm. Another possible explanation for the absence of the two tissues could have been the toxicity of the ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 41. Germs: A Short Story I was wrong about the hot dogs, but more importantly, about the margaritas. Both were served at dinner time. I'd wanted to be the one to serve Bryan his first drink since we had lost everything. However, by the time I got through the dinner line and found him, he was already at the bottom of a large plastic cup. Stray over–sized salt crystals clung to the rim, and I knew that someone had stolen that joy from me. When I walked through the kitchen off to the right, I cringed a bit; I'd been denied the opportunity to serve out of it earlier, and I still didn't understand why. I hadn't been able to track down Bryan all day, so I resorted to playing with the kids at the playground, a huge wooden play structure set on fake grass a few levels above the ball park. At first, I could only think of how many germs were on indoor playsets, but a snap to reality reminded me that there were worse things around us than flu germs. I didn't even know what kind of germs we were dealing with, or if we would all get sick sooner or later. Better to let the kids find their joy right now. The little kids' eyes lit up when they saw it. The weight they'd been carrying fell away with a quick... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... When I tried to find him at lunch, I couldn't locate the clinic anywhere. I asked an older lady in a white coat who looked like she might be a doctor where the clinic was. She looked at me confused, and then her eyes lingered over the tops of the kids' heads, like she couldn't bear to look them in the eye. "Excuse me. I'm very busy. I'm sorry I can't help you," she said, and then rushed past me like I was on fire and she might burst into flame too if she didn't hurry off. "That was weird," Shae said, and I nodded. I was used to seeing people uncomfortable around our family, but it was usually because we were so large, or because our children come from so many different backgrounds. This seemed different, ...
