This document summarizes key terminology related to the eye and ear. It defines terms like pressure equalizing tube, which is used to treat reoccurring ear infections or fluid buildup causing hearing loss. Bone conduction is defined as the transmission of sound through the bones of the skull to the inner ear. Otitis media refers to middle ear infections, often following upper respiratory infections. Emmetropia means normal vision, while exotropia is an outward turning of the eye. Visual activity is a measure of vision acuity using a Snellen chart.

This document discusses hearing loss, its types, causes, and management. It defines hearing as the perception of sound and describes the three main types of hearing loss - conductive, sensorineural, and mixed. Conductive hearing loss is caused by issues in sound conduction in the outer and middle ear. Sensorineural hearing loss results from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. Causes of hearing loss include genetic factors, infections, trauma, noise exposure, and certain medications. The document provides details on evaluating and managing different types of hearing loss.Chapter 13 abbreviations

Meniere’s disease
Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear that causes episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, and tinnitus. It was first described by Prosper Meniere in 1861. The cause is unknown but risk factors include metabolic, toxic, allergic, emotional, and circulatory disorders. Symptoms include vertigo, tinnitus, hearing loss, fullness, nausea, increased heart rate, and sweating. Diagnosis involves history, exams of the ear, and tests like audiograms and ENG. Treatment aims to control vertigo and tinnitus and preserve hearing using medications, diet changes, exercises, and sometimes surgery. Complications include permanent hearing or balance issues, anxiety, dehydration

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Ageing, the Elderly, Gerontology and Public Health
