TB AND ANTI TB DRUGS
TB IS A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE OVER COME VERY SOON BEING A PHARMACIST I AM VERY CONCERN IN THIS MATTER
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis is an infectious airborne disease that typically affects the lungs and is spread through coughs, sneezes, or talking, infecting one third of the world's population each year. It develops when TB bacteria are inhaled into the lungs and can spread throughout the body, causing symptoms like coughing, weight loss, and fever. While TB was once incurable, treatments now exist but antibiotic resistance has made treatment more complex, especially for those with HIV/AIDS.
Patient information leaflet (PIL)Tuberculosis By Sharad chand ( Pharm D Intern)
The sample of PIL for beginers. It is the tool to help for better understanding by the patients and general population. It contains some basic information regarding the specific concern.
Patient information leaflet
Tuberculosis is an infection caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which most commonly affects the lungs but can infect other parts of the body. Symptoms include cough, sputum, blood, night sweats, chest pain, weight loss and fever. TB is a communicable disease spread through the air via sneezes or coughs. India has a high burden of TB cases, accounting for one fourth of global annual incidence. TB is diagnosed through tests like sputum smear, blood tests, chest x-rays and the Mantoux test. Prevention methods include avoiding close contact with active TB patients, using face masks, vaccination with BCG, and following treatment instructions.
ToT plague
This document discusses coughing plague and compares it to bubonic plague. It provides teaching guides and tools for volunteers to educate communities on the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of coughing plague. Key points covered include how coughing plague is transmitted, the importance of seeking medical treatment within 24 hours of symptom onset, and social distancing/personal protective measures to prevent spread. The goal is to empower volunteers with knowledge to protect themselves and community members.
CNMI TB 101
The document provides information about tuberculosis (TB), including that it is a bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It describes the two forms of TB as either latent TB infection, where the immune system has contained the bacteria, or active TB disease, where the bacteria are multiplying. Symptoms of active TB disease can include prolonged cough, fever, and weight loss. The document outlines that TB disease is spread through airborne droplets when someone with active TB coughs or sneezes, and notes the risk of transmission is highest with prolonged exposure in enclosed spaces. It also discusses the difference between TB infection and TB disease.
Hiv
HIV attacks the immune system by using white blood cells to replicate itself, weakening the body's ability to fight infection over time without treatment. It was first recognized in 1981 and is thought to have originated from non-human primates in Africa, spreading to humans in the early 20th century. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy can control the virus and allow those infected to live a normal lifespan, though they must remain on daily medication.
The Flu and Flu Shot
Millions of people suffer from the flu every winter. The flu, or influenza, is caused by viruses, which are very small germs. Some viruses including the one that causes the flu are easily spread among people. The flu can present as a relatively minor illness in young, healthy people; but it can become a very serious illness in senior citizens, particularly those with a history of conditions such as diabetes or heart disease.

Tuberculosis.docx
Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that usually affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when people who have TB cough, sneeze or spit. While it is contagious, it typically requires prolonged exposure to spread. Those with weakened immune systems, like people with HIV/AIDS or undergoing chemotherapy, are more at risk of active TB infection. TB bacteria can spread beyond the lungs to other parts of the body if not treated. Proper treatment can cure TB despite its serious potential effects.

This document addresses common myths about HIV/AIDS. Myth 1 is that a diagnosis means imminent death, but treatments now allow normal lifespans. Myth 2 is that a vaccine should be easy, but development faces challenges and one is still years away. Myth 3 is that HIV/AIDS can be cured, but there are no proven cures despite claims. Myth 4 is that HIV and AIDS are the same, but HIV is a virus and AIDS is an illness collection. The document stresses knowing the facts to understand HIV/AIDS.
Aids
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and is diagnosed when a person's immune system is too weak to fight off infections. AIDS is caused by HIV, which attacks immune system cells over time. While there is no cure for AIDS, antiretroviral treatment can prolong the time between HIV infection and the onset of AIDS. Since 1981 over 25 million people have died from AIDS, with 1.8 million dying in 2009 alone.

Presentation by Vickey de Jager for Gr8 learners about Infectious Diseases. Transmission, Symptoms, Treatment and Prevention
October 2010 MRC Newsletter
This newsletter from the Somerville Health Department provides information on upcoming health topics. It welcomes readers and encourages community involvement. The first issue discusses the upcoming flu season, noting that flu season typically runs from late fall to early spring. It recommends getting the flu shot as the most effective way to prevent the flu for those over 6 months. Children ages 6 months to 8 years may need two doses due to their immune system. An annual flu shot is needed as flu viruses change each year.
Health care prevention emiley reed
The document discusses HIV, mosquito-borne illnesses, and Ebola. It provides information on the origins, transmission, symptoms, and preventative measures for each disease. HIV originated from chimpanzees in West Africa and is transmitted through bodily fluids. Symptoms include coughing and vision loss. Treatment includes antiretroviral drugs. Mosquito-borne illnesses like yellow fever originated in tropical regions and are transmitted by mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever and vomiting. Prevention includes vaccination and insect repellent. Ebola likely originated from contact with bats in West Africa and causes hemorrhaging. Symptoms include fever and diarrhea. Prevention involves hygiene and avoiding contact with infected animals or fluids.
Difference between Flu and Coronavirus
Coronavirus vs Flu
Sore throat, watery eyes, chest pain, short breath, and high fever are the first common symptoms of coronavirus. But if we keep COVID-19 aside for a while, these are also the symptoms of common flu!
Both the viral diseases start with the respiratory illness but the question arises here how to identify the former from the latter in the battle of coronavirus vs flu?
Let’s find out on what grounds coronavirus is similar and/or different from influenza or flu!
Hiv nadia gr10
HIV/AIDS is caused by the HIV virus which weakens the immune system and leads to AIDS. AIDS is diagnosed when infections develop due to a weak immune system. HIV is transmitted through sexual contact and sharing needles. While symptoms may not appear for years, late stage HIV can be detected through weight loss, fever, and other symptoms. There is currently no vaccine for HIV.
Communicable diseases
A communicable disease, also called a contagious disease, is a disease that can be transmitted from one person or animal to another. It can be spread either directly through contact with an infected individual, or indirectly through a vector such as an insect. Common modes of transmission for communicable diseases include food, water, air, contact, and insects. Examples are cholera (food and water), influenza (air), tuberculosis (air), malaria (mosquitoes), and tetanus (wound exposed to dust). Basic preventive measures include keeping personal belongings and living areas clean, boiling water, covering and washing food and utensils, washing hands, avoiding crowds, and maintaining personal hygiene.
Disease case study- Francesca Reid
The document discusses influenza (flu) and its characteristics. It describes how the flu virus mutates annually to evade immunity, but every 30 years or so a major "shift" occurs that causes a pandemic. Symptoms of the flu include fever, aches, cough and tiredness. The best prevention is an annual flu vaccine, as the virus changes each year. Type 1 diabetes is also summarized, where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Its treatment requires insulin injections and managing diet and activity levels. While there is no cure for either condition, vaccination and healthy habits can help prevent their spread.
K. shirin s0204854 educational cd
This educational CD provides information about influenza (flu) including how it spreads and how to prevent its spread. It aims to educate students about flu prevention. Flu is a contagious viral infection of the respiratory tract that can affect people of all ages. Common symptoms include fever, chills, headache, and cough. It spreads through infected droplets from coughs or sneezes. The best way to prevent spread is frequent hand washing, especially after sneezing or coughing, and not sharing eating utensils or used tissues with others. When sick with flu, one should stay home to avoid infecting others.
TAPP HIVAIDS pamphlet_English
This document provides information about HIV/AIDS, including how it is transmitted and prevented. It states that HIV gradually damages the immune system, which can lead to AIDS. While HIV is found in blood and sexual fluids, it is not transmitted through casual contact like kissing, sharing utensils, or other everyday interactions. The virus is transmitted through unprotected sex, contaminated blood, and from mother to child during pregnancy, delivery, or breastfeeding. HIV/AIDS can be prevented by getting tested, having one uninfected partner, using condoms correctly, and safer infant feeding practices.
Robert J Winn | Myths About the Flu Vaccine
The document discusses and debunks several common myths about the flu vaccine. It explains that the flu vaccine cannot give you the flu because the virus in the vaccine is killed. It also notes that it is not too early or too late in the flu season to get vaccinated, as the vaccine is available from September through January. Additionally, the document states that the flu vaccine is designed to protect people of all ages, not just children and the elderly, because it also helps build herd immunity to protect vulnerable groups. Finally, it addresses the myth that the flu vaccine does not work if one gets the flu after vaccination, clarifying that the vaccine can still reduce symptoms and prevent severe cases of the flu.
Quiz
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that causes Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). HIV can be prevented through testing which allows for early treatment with antiretroviral medications. Though HIV and AIDS are related, HIV is the virus whereas AIDS is the disease that develops from prolonged HIV infection. Common modes of HIV transmission include unprotected sex and sharing needles.
Why Do We Fall ILL?
The document discusses the causes of diseases. It states that some diseases are caused by bacteria while others like AIDS and the common cold are caused by viruses. Normally our immune system protects us but sometimes due to lack of sleep, stress or poor nutrition, our bodies become weak and susceptible to disease. Vaccines can help prevent some diseases by strengthening our immunity. The document then discusses different types of diseases like infectious, contagious, airborne diseases and non-communicable diseases. It also talks about lifestyle diseases and gives examples of bacterial and viral diseases.
AIDS DAY | HIV | World AIDS DAY | POSTER
World AIDS Day is observed annually on December 1st to raise awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV and to honor those who have died from the disease. People living with HIV can live long, healthy lives if they receive effective treatment, as HIV cannot be passed on through everyday contact or by people on treatment. Various methods can be used to prevent the transmission of HIV, including practicing safe sex, not sharing needles, getting tested, and preventing mother-to-child transmission.
1 common communicable diseases2
This document provides information about common communicable diseases, including examples of bacteria and viruses that cause disease. It discusses how diseases are transmitted from person to person and lists some common diseases such as the common cold, influenza, hepatitis, and mononucleosis. For each disease, it describes the symptoms and recommended treatment. The document emphasizes the importance of rest, nutrition, hygiene and vaccines in preventing and treating communicable diseases.
Common Infection
The document provides information on common infectious diseases including rubella, influenza, tuberculosis, and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It discusses the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention of each disease. For rubella, it notes that while infection usually causes mild symptoms, it can harm unborn children if the mother is infected during pregnancy. Influenza and tuberculosis can be spread through the air and have varying symptoms depending on whether the infection is active or latent. STDs are transmitted through sexual contact and often have no symptoms but can cause issues like sores, rashes or bleeding if symptoms do develop. Vaccination and treatment with antibiotics are recommended to prevent and treat several of these infectious diseases.
what is swine flu ?
The document discusses swine flu, which has infected at least 257 people across 11 countries according to the WHO. The WHO has raised its pandemic alert level to 5 as it believes the first flu pandemic since 1968 may soon be declared. Hundreds more cases are suspected as health officials check for infections and prepare measures to prevent the virus's spread. The document then goes on to answer several questions about swine flu symptoms, transmission, treatment, vaccination, and protective measures.
Revolutionary Open Source
This document discusses how to build successful open source communities through "social architecture". It argues that closed source is dead and the future belongs to open source. However, open source projects require communities to be sustainable. Social architecture is the art and science of growing online communities. Key aspects include using the right open source license to encourage contribution and remixing, starting small and growing slowly, making the project accessible and inviting contribution from diverse participants, and having living rules and oversight to prevent conflicts and capture from undermining the community. Done right, communities can do most of the work with simple, elegant solutions while being profitable through widespread sharing of profits.
RestMS Introduction
RestMS is a new protocol for web messaging that aims to provide a simple yet capable solution based on open standards. It takes the best aspects of AMQP, such as its generic routing model, and AtomPub, such as its RESTful access over HTTP, and combines them. RestMS allows publishers to send messages to feeds and subscribers to create pipes that join feeds to receive and process messages. It uses common REST/HTTP operations and aims to be easy to use while still providing high performance and interoperability.
The Evolution of the Biofuels Industry and Corn’s Future Role
The ppt covers a review of the U.S. biofuels industry development in 2008, impact to the industry from the 2008 financial crisis, expected new biofuels and energy policy and projected biofuels industry development post-2010.

Ceu tb rn f
This document provides information about tuberculosis (TB) including:
- TB can be latent or active, with latent TB having no symptoms while active TB causes symptoms and can spread to others.
- Symptoms of active TB may include cough, weight loss, fever, and chest pain. It can affect the lungs or other areas.
- TB is caused by bacteria and spreads through the air from one person to another. Those with weakened immune systems are most at risk.
- Diagnosis involves tests of the lungs or other areas. Treatment depends on if TB is latent or active, using several medications over several months.
Social architecture-101
The document discusses how human social instincts can be leveraged to create highly effective self-organizing groups. It provides patterns that have been observed to work across different domains, including simplicity, fluid structures, collaboration, engagement by choice, decentralization, transparency, and competition. The core architecture outlined involves defining a compelling mission, creating structures for collaboration, investing in seed projects, using problems to feed the structures, promoting active participants, and acting as a benevolent dictator. Examples mentioned include open source communities, radical management techniques, Wikipedia, and the early web.
Git Without Branches - Simple, Smooth, Scalable
The document discusses how Git complexity can be reduced by eliminating branches in favor of forks and pull requests. It argues that branching leads to complex strategies and processes that don't scale well. By switching to a model where every change is a pull request to a single master branch, projects can be simplified, mistakes reduced, and collaboration improved. The author provides an example of switching to this approach with the ØMQ project, which saw growth from a few to over 70 contributors as a result of the simpler, kinder process.
Fosdem 2009
- The document discusses the need for simpler messaging standards and protocols as an alternative to complex and proprietary solutions.
- It introduces AMQP as an open protocol for messaging but notes it is still complex. It then presents RestMS as a simpler RESTful alternative to AMQP that works over plain HTTP.
- Examples are given of using RestMS through HTTP requests and responses to create feeds and send messages. Open source projects including Zyre, OpenAMQ, and X5 are discussed which implement RestMS.
Switch or broker
This document compares two models for reliable AMQP architectures: the reliable message broker model and the asynchronous message switch (AMS) model with reliability over AMS (R/AMS). The reliable broker model provides reliability but is complex, centralized, and not scalable to wide area networks. The AMS/R/AMS model uses simple, lightweight message switches with reliability implemented through persistence and request/response handling, allowing for better performance, scalability, and simplicity over both local and wide area networks. R/AMS is presented as a better approach for the future of AMQP.
CurveZMQ, ZMTP and other Dubious Characters
The document discusses secure messaging for internet applications using ZeroMQ. It proposes solutions like CurveZMQ and ZMTP 3.0 that provide encryption, authentication and extensibility at the protocol level. CurveZMQ defines a security handshake inspired by CurveCP that is transport neutral and compatible with SASL. ZMTP 3.0 introduces security mechanisms to ZMQ like CURVE for full encryption and authentication. The author advocates getting involved in the open RFC process to help evolve these standards.
Signs of bullying!
Physical bullying involves harming someone physically and leaving bruises or cuts. Cyber bullying consists of teasing or making fun of someone online. Verbal bullying means saying mean things about someone, sometimes behind their back. Fashion bullying is making fun of someone's clothes or accessories. Racist bullying attacks someone's culture, skin color, or religion.
Software Architecture using ZeroMQ - techmesh 2012
This document discusses software architecture using ØMQ. It argues that most existing code will become trash and that we do not know how to build code that can survive for decades. It suggests that software architecture should focus on building durable, large-scale systems and that future code needs to be interconnected like people. It emphasizes that protocols define the obligations between parties and that simplicity and removing problems are more important than adding features.

The ppt covers the current use of corn for ethanol, the Energy Independence & Security Act and its impact on corn, future prospects for corn starch based ethanol, how fast cellulosic ethanol will develop,which feedstocks will be utilized to produce cellulosic ethanol and risks to biofuels growth.
Subscription
This document discusses subscription and recurring modules in Tiny ERP. It provides instructions on installing and configuring the subscription module to automatically generate invoices or other documents on a defined schedule. The recurring module is useful for generating accounting entries on a periodic basis and requires manual processing, while the subscription module is fully automated through scheduled actions. In conclusion, the subscription module is recommended for automatic generation of documents, while the recurring module is preferable for generating accounting entries on a periodic basis.
Software Architecture over ZeroMQ
The document contains a series of one-line statements by Pieter Hintjens about software architecture and distributed systems. Some of the key points made include that software needs to be designed to connect to other code and last for decades; distributed systems live or die by their communication protocols; and that ØMQ provides a framework for building distributed protocols and applications. The statements cover a range of topics from software design, distributed systems, security and ZeroMQ in particular.

1) The document discusses concurrency and the traditional model of sharing data between threads which leads to complexity, bugs, and diminishing returns.
2) It introduces the actor model from 1973 which uses message passing between isolated processes or "actors" to achieve concurrency without shared data.
3) ZeroMQ is presented as a modern implementation of the actor model, allowing applications to connect threads and processes across machines using messaging without locks or shared state.
Overview of ZeroMQ
ØMQ was created to address the need for cheaper and more efficient connectivity between distributed systems as hardware capabilities increased. It is an intelligent socket library that provides various connection patterns for messaging between processes. ØMQ aims to be fast, small, multiplatform, and multilingual. It uses common patterns like request-reply and publish-subscribe to allow processes to communicate simply and efficiently over in-process, inter-process, and network connections. The ØMQ community continues to enhance and support the open source library.

Diseases
This document discusses communicable diseases, which are diseases that can be spread from one person to another. It provides examples of common communicable diseases like the flu, HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, measles, hepatitis, and polio. For each disease, it discusses how the disease is transmitted or spread from person to person, typical symptoms, those most at risk, methods of prevention, and other key details. Overall, the document aims to educate about common communicable diseases, how they are contracted and spread between individuals, and important prevention strategies.
introduction-TB-text
This document provides an overview of tuberculosis (TB) covering what it is, how it spreads, testing, treatment, and elimination efforts. Key points include:
- TB is an airborne disease that spreads through coughs/sneezes and can affect the lungs or other parts of the body.
- It can lie dormant as a latent infection or become an active disease depending on immune system strength.
- Testing identifies infections and disease which are treated to prevent spread and illness.
- While curable, TB disproportionately impacts foreign-born and socially vulnerable groups in the US. Maintaining control programs is important for elimination.
introduction-to-tuberculosis-508c.pptx
This document provides an overview of tuberculosis (TB) including what it is, how it spreads, testing and treatment. TB is a bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It spreads through air when people with active TB cough, sneeze or spit. Most people who are exposed develop latent TB but do not feel sick; they can develop active TB later. Testing identifies active TB or latent infection. Treatment of latent TB prevents active disease, while treatment of active TB requires multiple antibiotics for at least 6 months to cure the infection. Public health efforts focus on testing and treatment to eliminate TB in the United States.
Lesson 13 tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection that usually affects the lungs. It spreads through the air when people with active TB cough, sneeze or speak. Most infections are latent and do not have symptoms, but the bacteria can reactivate later and cause active disease. Active TB is treated with multiple antibiotics taken for 6-12 months to prevent drug resistance, and public health workers may directly observe treatment.
TUBERCULOSIS.pptx
Tuberculosis is a respiratory disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis that can be spread through the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Exposure can result in latent TB infection where a person does not have symptoms but can develop active TB later. Latent TB cannot spread while active TB can. TB is treatable with antibiotics and screening involves skin tests or blood tests to check for infection. Treatment differs between latent infection and active disease.
Homeless tb presentation sept 2010
The mission of the Montgomery County TB Control Program is to identify and treat tuberculosis (TB) disease early and decrease potential TB infections. TB is caused by bacteria that can affect the lungs and other organs. It can lie dormant as a latent infection or develop into active TB disease. The document provides details on latent vs. active TB, epidemiological data on TB cases, and treatment and screening guidelines for shelters.
HOME Conference 2010 - Update on TB Transmissions
The Montgomery County TB Control Program aims to identify and treat tuberculosis (TB) and latent TB infection in order to protect public health. TB is a bacterial infection that typically affects the lungs. It can be latent with no symptoms or active with symptoms like cough and weight loss. The program provides testing, treatment and monitoring to prevent the spread of TB.
Akshat
This document discusses tuberculosis (TB), a bacterial infection that can affect the lungs. It is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis which is spread through the air when infected people cough, sneeze or speak. Symptoms include a prolonged cough, chest pain, and weight loss. While TB can be treated with a combination of antibiotics over 6-9 months, it remains a major global health issue, with approximately 2 million deaths per year. Those at highest risk include the elderly, infants, and people with compromised immune systems. Vaccines and preventative measures like good nutrition can help reduce the spread and impact of this infectious disease.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Pulmonary tuberculosis is a disease caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which most commonly affects the lungs. It spreads through airborne droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include cough, weight loss, fever, night sweats and fatigue. While infection rates are high globally, proper treatment can cure most cases, though drug-resistant strains and lack of access to care pose challenges. Diagnosis involves skin tests, chest X-rays and culture tests to determine if the active form of the disease is present.

Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis, or TB, is caused by bacteria that usually affect the lungs. It can be spread through the air when someone with active TB coughs or sneezes. There are two types of TB infection - latent TB, where the bacteria remain inactive in the body, and active TB, where the bacteria are causing symptoms and can be transmitted. To prevent the spread of TB, it is important to avoid exposure to those with active infections, get tested if exposed, and begin treatment right away if diagnosed with latent TB.
Tuberculosis (1)
Tuberculosis is an infectious airborne disease that typically affects the lungs and is spread through coughs, sneezes, or talking, infecting one third of the world's population each year. It develops when TB bacteria are breathed into the lungs and can increase with factors like poor ventilation; symptoms range from mild to severe like weight loss, fever, and coughing blood. While there is no cure for the most advanced stage, TB is generally treatable with a complex regimen of antibiotics, though treatment can be complicated by HIV co-infection.
Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease usually caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) bacteria. Tuberculosis generally affects the lungs, but can also affect other parts of the body. Most infections show no symptoms, in which case it is known as latent tuberculosis.
TB is spread from person to person through the air. When people with lung TB cough, sneeze or spit, they propel the TB germs into the air. A person needs to inhale only a few of these germs to become infected.

This document discusses tuberculosis (TB) disease management. It defines disease management and lists conditions it covers, including TB. TB is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which usually infect the lungs. Only 10% of latent TB infections progress to active disease without treatment. Symptoms include coughing, chest pain, and weight loss. Diagnosis involves tests like chest x-rays, skin tests, and sputum analysis. Standard TB treatment follows the DOTS strategy and uses antibiotics like isoniazid, rifampin and pyrazinamide for 6-8 months to cure the infection and prevent drug resistance. Side effects of the drugs can include liver problems and vision issues.
WHY DO WE FALL ILL - HARISALUJA
This document discusses the causes and transmission of diseases. It explains that diseases can be caused by bacteria, viruses, lack of sleep, stress, and genetic factors weakening the immune system. Diseases spread through various routes like air, water, food, bodily fluids, insects, and animals. Examples are given of bacterial diseases caused by pathogens like E. coli and viral diseases spread through coughing or sneezing like the cold, flu, and measles. Prevention methods include hygiene, sanitation, nutrition, vaccinations, and creating clean living environments to avoid exposure to disease-causing microbes.
