Pathogens And Toxins By Sean Ha
H1N1 is a virus formed from human, bird, and pig influenza viruses. It spreads from person to person and causes flu-like symptoms. To prevent H1N1, wear a mask, wash hands with soap, avoid crowds, and don't touch your face. Botulism is caused by a toxin from Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It causes respiratory failure and paralysis. Eating improperly canned foods poses a risk. Smoking decreases lung function and increases health risks like cancer and heart disease. E. coli bacteria live in intestines and produce a toxin that causes diarrhea and other symptoms. Washing hands regularly prevents the spread of E. coli.
Vaccinations 6º
Vaccinations provide artificial immunity by introducing harmless versions of viruses or bacteria into the body. This allows the immune system to develop antibodies without experiencing the actual disease. Natural immunity develops when a person contracts an illness and their body fights it off. The key difference is that vaccines contain dead or weakened germs while natural immunity results from surviving the live infection. Vaccinations train the immune system to quickly recognize and destroy pathogens it may encounter in the future through exposure to similar but harmless versions during the vaccination process.
Pathogens and Toxins
The document discusses pathogens, toxins, and examples of each including H1N1 virus, botulism bacteria, nicotine toxin, and E. coli bacteria. Pathogens are microorganisms that cause disease by entering cells/tissues or producing toxins, while toxins are harmful substances affecting the body negatively. H1N1 virus causes respiratory illness and can lead to secondary infections if not treated properly. Botulism bacteria produces a toxin paralyzing muscles and respiratory functions. Nicotine is a highly addictive toxin in cigarettes damaging multiple body systems. E. coli bacteria normally in the body can cause infection if levels become too high.
Immunity
The document discusses how the immune system works and how vaccination helps prevent diseases. It describes how the immune system produces antibodies to fight pathogens. Vaccines contain small amounts of dead or inactive pathogens to stimulate antibody production and confer immunity without causing illness. Common childhood vaccines protect against diseases that were once major killers but are now preventable through vaccination.
Pathogens And Toxins By Tom Hwang
This document summarizes several pathogens and toxins including H1N1 virus, botulism, E. coli, and nicotine. It describes what each is, how it causes disease, common symptoms, negative effects, and ways to prevent infection or harm. H1N1 is a flu virus spread through coughing or sneezing that can cause respiratory issues. Botulism is a paralytic illness from spoiled food that affects the nervous system and muscles. E. coli is a food-borne bacteria that can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. Nicotine is a toxic chemical found in cigarettes that is highly addictive and linked to various cancers and decreased health over time.
Immune Systems After the COVID-19 Pandemic
Everyone has heard that immune systems weaken when they are sheltered, but is that really the case? As we are now over one year into lockdowns and social distancing, many are becoming concerned that after the pandemic immune systems are going to falter after being isolated for such a long period, and many adults are concerned to resume a “normal” life due to this...
Turberculosis
Tuberculosis is a potentially fatal disease that affects the lungs. It is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which is spread through tiny droplets in the air from coughs or sneezes. In the 1980s, TB became a major problem due to the HIV/AIDS epidemic weakening immune systems. Treatment involves multiple antibiotics over 6-9 months to prevent the latent form of TB from becoming active. Symptoms of active TB include coughing, chest pain, weight loss, and fever. Prevention involves isolating those infected and using masks. Risk factors include a weakened immune system from conditions like HIV, lack of healthcare access, alcohol/drug use, and exposure to others with TB.
Lyme disease
Lyme disease is a tick-borne illness caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi. It spreads when infected ticks feed on animals like mice and deer, and then bite humans. Early symptoms include chills, headache, fatigue, and joint or muscle pain. If not treated early with antibiotics, later complications can include joint problems, heart issues, and nervous system disorders. Proper clothing, tick checks, and yard maintenance can help prevent contracting Lyme disease.
How do you catch a cold
The document discusses how colds are spread. It explains that colds are most commonly caused by rhinoviruses which infect the nasal cavity, causing symptoms like runny noses and sneezing. These viruses spread through the air when people cough, sneeze or touch contaminated surfaces without covering their mouth. The document recommends building resistance by eating healthy, sleeping well, and limiting exposure by avoiding opening windows indoors where viruses can circulate.
NIGHT SWEATS
Night sweats in men over 40 are more common than in younger men, and can have several causes. The hypothalamus, which regulates body temperature, can be thrown off by hormones, illnesses, foods, medicines, infections or cancers, causing excessive sweating. Common triggers include spicy foods, alcohol, antidepressants, infections like tuberculosis, and cancers such as lymphoma. However, many people only perceive they have night sweats and the sweating may be minor. Getting proper rest is important regardless of the underlying cause.
Healthy Living 2
The document discusses the importance of maintaining optimum health rather than just treating disease. It notes that while medical advances have helped defeat many killer diseases, viruses and bacteria are developing resistance. True health requires taking an active role in lifestyle factors like nutrition and exercise since the human body is capable of fighting disease when primed to do so. Maintaining optimum health involves considering how different body systems interrelate and paying attention to diet, which now provides fewer nutrients than in the past due to farming practices prioritizing yield and appearance over nutritional content.
Lyme Disease
Lyme disease originated in Lyme, Connecticut in 1975 when a group of children were diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and researchers discovered it was caused by a bacterial infection. It is caused by ticks carrying the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium and can affect people of all ages. Symptoms include a characteristic rash in stage 1 and joint and neurological problems in later stages. It is treated with oral antibiotics in early stages and intravenous drugs in stage 3. Preventative measures include wearing protective clothing, performing tick checks, and bathing after being outdoors.
The African Unthinkable
Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston in 1706 and ended his formal schooling at age 10. He went on to write for his brother's newspaper and publish Poor Richard's Almanack. As one of America's most famous Enlightenment thinkers, Franklin was also a prolific inventor who helped shape the modern world and grew increasingly involved in politics from the 1750s onward, founding the Pennsylvania Academy, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. An interesting fact is that Franklin first proposed the idea of daylight saving time in 1784.

A New Free Surface Capturing Finite Elements Methods
This document presents a new finite element method for analyzing ship hydrodynamics using an overlapping domain decomposition technique. It uses a level set method to capture the free surface between two fluids by solving a transport equation. The method applies stabilized finite increment calculus to the Navier-Stokes equations in an arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian framework. It then decomposes the domain into overlapping subdomains and solves the governing equations in each to define consistent pressures at the fluid interface. Several 2D and 3D examples are provided to demonstrate the method.
A Man Of Many Frontiers
Benjamin Franklin was an influential American statesman and scientist during the 18th century. He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution, discovered electricity, founded the first public library and fire department in the United States, and made important scientific observations. Franklin played a pivotal role in the Enlightenment era with his advocacy of rational thinking, religious tolerance, scientific inquiry, and democratic principles.

01 How Do Bacteria Make You Sick.pptx
Bacteria can make you sick by entering your body through cuts, food/water, sexual contact, air, or animal bites. Common bacterial diseases include strep throat, staph infections, and food poisoning. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that are much smaller than human cells and can have different shapes. The human body has defenses against bacteria like the skin, mucus, stomach acids, and immune cells. When infections occur, antibiotics can treat many bacterial infections, but some bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics, creating serious issues like MRSA. It is important to always finish all of an antibiotic prescription to avoid furthering bacterial resistance.

While CPR is important, most people don't perform it correctly - you need deep, fast chest compressions. Time is critical for things like heart attacks - seek emergency help immediately if symptoms occur. Antitoxins are antibodies produced in animals to neutralize specific toxins. They are produced by injecting toxins in animals over time. Antitoxins are stored in serum and injected to provide immunity for humans. They are specific to the toxin used to produce them.

Immune_System_New.ppt
The immune system functions to protect the body from pathogens. It consists of organs like the spleen, thymus, and bone marrow as well as white blood cells. Pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protists can cause disease by disrupting homeostasis. Germ theory established that many diseases are caused by biological agents. Infectious diseases spread through physical contact, exchange of fluids, indirect contact, or vectors. The immune system uses nonspecific defenses like skin and stomach acid along with specific defenses of white blood cells. When pathogens invade, the body responds with fever, inflammation, and production of antibodies by B cells. Immunity develops from exposure to pathogens, and can be active from infection or vaccination, or passive
