A Brief History of Chinese Painting 3.0Jerry Daperro
A brief history of chinese paintings - 中國美術史
Two approaches to painting arts.
The development of Chinese painting took a different path to that of the West. In this very brief on the Chinese painting, we can see how culture, politics and society had shaped its development. In the West, religion and commissioning system have played a very important part in the history of western painting. Buddhism and Daoism in Chinese had the same kind of influence on Chinese paintings as its Western counterpart. But instead the imperial court and the intelligentsia were more important to the development of Chinese painting.
The two approaches were played to two different audiences. In the West it mainly aimed to the public and hang on palaces. In China paintings were appreciated in private, by individual and more likely to be found in library or private studies.

Community Acquired Pneumonia is an inflammatory lung condition caused by infection. It is defined as pneumonia occurring outside of a hospital setting. Respiratory infections are the leading cause of doctor visits. Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common pathogen identified, causing around 46% of cases. Risk factors include older age, smoking, lung disease, and conditions that impair immunity or clearance of secretions. Diagnosis involves assessing severity, likely pathogens, and testing sputum, blood, or urine depending on the suspected germ. Most cases are treated initially with antibiotics at home or in the hospital depending on severity. Vaccines can help prevent many types of community acquired pneumonia.

Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, are infections that develop 48 hours or more after hospital admission that were not present at the time of admission. Within hours of admission, hospital strains of bacteria can colonize patients' skin, respiratory tract, and genitourinary tract. Nosocomial infections are classified based on the source of the microorganisms (endogenous or exogenous) and type of infection such as urinary tract infections, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and surgical site infections. Common causes of nosocomial infections include bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas, and viruses such as hepatitis and influenza.
Yersinia pestis is the bacterium that causes bubonic plague. It is transmitted when an infected flea bites a human after biting an infected rat. The bacterium multiplies in the flea's gut and is regurgitated into the human. There are three forms of plague caused by Y. pestis: bubonic, pneumonic, and septicemic. Bubonic plague causes swollen lymph nodes, while pneumonic plague causes severe lung infection and is highly contagious. Septicemic plague leads to a rapid onset of sepsis. Treatment involves antibiotics like streptomycin and isolation of infected patients.
The document provides guidelines for collecting and transporting respiratory tract specimen for various infections, including proper labeling and storage. It describes common respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, their causes, symptoms, and treatment options.

B. anthracis virulence factors include a poly-D-glutamyl capsule and anthrax toxin. Anthrax infection can occur through the skin, lungs, or gastrointestinal tract. Corynebacterium diphtheriae causes diphtheria through respiratory droplet transmission of its exotoxin. Diphtheria presents as a pseudomembrane in the throat and can damage the heart and nerves. Bacillus cereus causes two types of food poisoning.
This document provides an overview of common respiratory diseases, including infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract. It discusses the typical causative agents of various respiratory infections such as rhinitis, sinusitis, otitis media, conjunctivitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchiolitis, and pneumonia. For each disease, the document outlines the most common bacterial, viral and atypical bacterial causes and recommends treatment approaches.
This document provides information on Legionella, including its classification, species that cause human infections, reservoirs, transmission, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and treatment. Legionella is a genus of bacteria that can cause Legionnaires' disease or Pontiac fever in humans. L. pneumophila serogroup 1 is responsible for the majority of infections. Legionella is commonly found in water systems and can infect humans when contaminated water droplets are inhaled. Diagnosis involves urine antigen testing, culture, staining and PCR. Treatment involves antibiotics such as macrolides or fluoroquinolones. Preventing Legionella growth in water systems is key to preventing infections.
Laboratory Diagnosis of
Respiratory Infections.
Respiratory infections are one of the most common microbial infections.
Frequent exposure of respiratory mucosa to microbes inhaled with air.
CHAPTER 24 Microbiology_ Flashcards and practice test _ Quizlet.pdfrakydt
This document provides a summary of key terms and concepts related to microbiology of the respiratory system. It includes definitions of various upper and lower respiratory infections caused by bacteria (e.g. strep throat, pertussis), viruses (e.g. influenza), and fungi (e.g. histoplasmosis). It also discusses the species that cause specific diseases like tuberculosis, strep throat, and whooping cough. Secondary tests for identifying tuberculosis infection are mentioned. The purpose of influenza virus surface proteins and common symptoms are summarized as well.
I. Nosocomial infections, also known as hospital-acquired infections, first spread widely in Africa due to poor hospital services.
II. Common pathogens that cause nosocomial infections include Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
III. These infections can affect patients, visitors, and laboratory personnel. The CDC reports that 15% of cases occur in general wards while 60% are found in ICUs.
Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella typhi. It spreads through contaminated food, water, or close contact with infected carriers. Symptoms include sustained high fever, headaches, abdominal pain and constipation or diarrhea. It is diagnosed through blood or stool cultures and treated with antibiotics, though some chronic carriers still exist. Proper sanitation, hygiene and water treatment are crucial to prevent the spread of typhoid.
This document discusses fungal diseases of poultry, specifically focusing on aspergillosis (brooder pneumonia). It describes aspergillosis as an infectious disease of the respiratory tract caused by various Aspergillus species. Clinical signs include respiratory distress, lethargy, and emaciation. Post-mortem lesions feature small white caseous nodules scattered throughout the lungs and air sacs. Diagnosis involves isolating and identifying the fungus from caseous nodules. Control relies on hatchery and farm sanitation to prevent mold growth and bird exposure to fungal spores.
This document summarizes information about emerging pathogens of concern in healthcare settings, known as ESKAPES pathogens. It discusses the sources, pathogenesis, routes of exposure, and significance in water systems for each pathogen: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia. It also describes ALS Environmental's use of MALDI-ToF confirmation to rapidly identify these pathogens and their strains to help healthcare facilities control infections.
Bacterial infections of respiratory tract_.pptDr.Ahmed Salim
The document discusses bacterial infections of the respiratory system. It describes how the lower respiratory system is usually sterile due to mucociliary action, while the upper respiratory system can become infected by bacteria and viruses. Specific infections mentioned include laryngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, and strep throat caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes. Complications of strep throat like rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis are also outlined. The document then covers bacterial diseases that can affect the lower respiratory system such as pertussis, tuberculosis, pneumococcal pneumonia, mycoplasmal pneumonia, and legionellosis.
The document summarizes several important bacterial genera and orders. It describes bacteria that are enteric (found in the intestines), including Escherichia coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Yersinia, and others. It also discusses Pseudomonas, Rickettsia, Legionella, Campylobacter, and the distinctions between Gram-positive Firmicutes like Bacillus and Staphylococcus versus Actinobacteria. The Archaea domain includes extremophiles that live in high salt or acidic, hot environments.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
One health condition that is becoming more common day by day is diabetes.
According to research conducted by the National Family Health Survey of India, diabetic cases show a projection which might increase to 10.4% by 2030.

N= not resistant to oil
R= some resistance to oil
P= oil proof
17. Efficacy
In summary- YES!! The N95 is effective in our clinical scenarios
however
Compliance can be poor due to discomfort from heat, humidity
Fit- an ill fitting mask is like NO MASK at all, consider PAPR
(powered air purifier respirator)
Head motion, bending over- can derail fit
Communication difficult
Cost of stocking right sizes and supplies in a pandemic- the
respirator is considered 3rd line protection after
Admin/Engineering controls- hand washing, isolation and
ventilated rooms. In a crisis, AGP to be triaged as priority for
N95’s or PAPR’s
29. N95 masks
Although the benefits seem remote- they are REAL
success by having your
Fit test –especially simulate your Activities at work
Get trained on use, donning and doffing
Refresh fit and training every year
–they are hot and uncomfortable, pain spots
develop if straps not done right, they interfere with
communication and performance, they are not easily
accessible when you need them(esp your size), hard to
look sexy in them, perception of resistance is high, your
HR increases, can produce anxiety and claustrophobia, can
impair vision of things.

If previous +TST and previous N CXR, watch for clinical Sx .
If new +TST but BCG vaccination less than a year old- treat
like new case do CXR
new +TST and exposure to Tb case- CXR and clinical
assessment.
LTBI- converted but not active- lifetime risk of active TB 10-
20% is halved with treatment. Higher risk of active TB
depends on your age and comorbidities.
Treatment- 9 months of INH- hepatotoxic in 2%. (rash,
nausea, neuropathy) they may add in rifampin for 2
months. If MDR or XDR you will be on MANY antibiotics
