Viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans, and rickettsias can cause communicable diseases which spread through direct contact, indirect contact, or airborne transmission. Preventing the spread involves cleaning hands, proper food handling, vaccination, avoiding contact with sick individuals, and taking care of one's health. Noncommunicable diseases include cardiovascular diseases like hypertension, atherosclerosis, and stroke. Cancer is caused by uncontrolled cell growth while risk factors include genetics, environment, and lifestyle choices. Other noncommunicable diseases discussed are allergies, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, and physical/mental disabilities.

Information like social security numbers, employee data, financials, and discussions should be kept private. Steps to ensure confidentiality include locked storage, encryption, clearing desks, marking documents confidential, and shredding documents. A confidentiality policy should include training, password changes, and prohibiting phone and email use. Breaching confidentiality can result in termination, fines, and imprisonment.
Impact of Chronic HCV Co-infection on HIV Clinical Outcomes in the District o...CDC NPIN
This study analyzed surveillance data from 2000-2009 in DC to examine the impact of chronic HCV co-infection on HIV clinical outcomes. It found that 11.3% of reported HIV cases were co-infected with HCV. Co-infected individuals were more likely to be black, over age 40, and infected through injection drug use. They had lower CD4 counts at most recent tests and higher mortality, even after adjusting for covariates. While over half of co-infections were with HCV first, co-infection negatively impacts HIV disease progression. Improved data and prevention/treatment programs for high-risk groups are recommended.
Torture has severe and long-lasting psychological effects. The document discusses definitions of torture from various organizations and the methods and reasons for torture. It outlines the psychological impacts which can include PTSD, depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Health professionals are in a position to uphold human rights but some have defended or participated in torture. A proper assessment of torture survivors considers cultural factors and establishes trust, while treatment focuses on regaining dignity and trust. Testimonials and accepting the experience can help healing.

This document provides an overview of HIV/AIDS. It discusses how HIV is a retrovirus that infects and destroys CD4 cells, leading to AIDS if untreated. HIV is transmitted via bodily fluids and causes a spectrum of infections and illnesses as it progresses. Diagnosis involves antibody tests or viral load tests. Treatment involves antiretroviral drugs to suppress HIV and prevent opportunistic infections. Prevention strategies include education, safer sex practices, needle exchange programs, and universal precautions. Globally, an estimated 34 million people live with HIV/AIDS.
Have you ever had
the "stomach flu?" What you probably had was gastroenteritis - not a
type of flu at all. Gastroenteritis is an inflammation of the lining of the
intestines caused by a virus, bacteria or parasites. Viral gastroenteritis is
the second most common illness in the U.S. It spreads through contaminated food
or water, and contact with an infected person. The best prevention is frequent
hand washing.
Symptoms of
gastroenteritis include diarrhea, abdominal pain, vomiting, headache, fever
and chills. Most people recover with no treatment.
The most common
problem with gastroenteritis is dehydration. This happens if you do not drink
enough fluids to replace what you lose through vomiting and diarrhea. Dehydration
is most common in babies, young children, the elderly and people with weak
immune systems.

• Disorders. The Immune System and Infectiou.pptxNimraFaraz
The immune system protects the body from infection and disease. It has both nonspecific defenses that try to prevent pathogens from entering the body, as well as specific defenses involving white blood cells that fight infection. There are two types of immunity - active immunity acquired from infection or vaccination, and passive immunity acquired from others via antibodies. Immune system disorders like HIV can weaken immunity and lead to infections. Cardiovascular diseases involve the heart and blood vessels, having risk factors like smoking, obesity, and family history. Common diseases are angina and cardiomyopathy. Prevention focuses on healthy lifestyle habits.
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks its own tissues. It most commonly affects women aged 15-40. The exact causes are unknown but genetics, viruses, sunlight, and some drugs may play a role. Symptoms vary but can include rashes, joint pain, fatigue, and organ inflammation. Diagnosis involves blood tests and potentially biopsies.

Intro to Equations and Expressions.pptNeilfieOrit2
This document defines key terms related to expressions and equations. It explains that expressions use words like sum and number, while equations use equal signs and are written as sentences. Examples are given of expressions like x + 6 and equations like x + 6 = 10. Terms, coefficients, constants, and like terms are defined for expressions. Inverse operations are defined for solving equations. Methods are provided for translating verbal phrases and sentences into algebraic expressions and equations.
Subject-verb agreement refers to making the subject and verb match in number. To make a noun plural, add -s. To make a verb plural, remove -s. There are also irregular verbs like "be", "have", and "do" that have unique plural forms. As a general tip, if the subject doesn't end in -s, the verb will, and if the subject does end in -s, the verb won't. Multiple subjects joined by "and" take a plural verb.
Abbreviations are shortened forms of words that often use periods after the letters. Common abbreviations include days of the week like Sun. and months of the year such as Dec. Titles and names can also be abbreviated, for example Prof. for Professor and Ms. for Miss.
This document discusses how to count syllables in words. A syllable is a single unit of sound within a word. Words can have different numbers of syllables, such as "tie" having one syllable and "alphabet" having three syllables. The document recommends clapping out the syllables in words to count them, such as clapping three times for "umbrella" and five times for "I like to eat cheese." Counting syllables helps determine the rhythm or "beats" in words.
This document defines and explains the key terms used to describe the different parts of a circle:
- The circumference is the distance around the outside of the circle. The diameter is the distance from one side to the other passing through the center.
- The radius is the line connecting the center of the circle to the circumference. A chord is a line touching the circumference at two points.
- A sector is the part of a circle between two radii. An arc is the part of the circumference at the edge of a sector. A segment is the part between a chord and an arc.
- A tangent is a straight line touching the circle at just one point. The document includes diagrams labeling these different parts
Daytime objects in the sky include the sun, which Earth revolves around, clouds which are important for weather, and rainbows which are formed when sunlight hits raindrops and splits into colors. Nighttime objects are the moon, which orbits Earth, stars which are bright balls of gas that give their own light, and planets.
Musical form refers to the structure or organization of a musical composition. There are several common forms, including binary form consisting of two contrasting sections (AB), ternary form with three sections (ABA) where the first and third sections are the same, and rondo form with a recurring theme or refrain alternating with different episodes (ABACA). The form helps composers organize their pieces and involves different melodic phrases, sections, and the repetition or contrast of musical ideas.
The document provides information about arithmetic sequences including defining the first term (a), common difference (d), and the explicit formula to find any term (an) in an arithmetic sequence.

Words can have different numbers of syllables, such as "tie" having one syllable and "alphabet" having three syllables. The document recommends clapping out the syllables in words to count them, such as clapping three times for "umbrella" and five times for "I like to eat cheese." Counting syllables is done by hearing the separate sounds or "beats" in each word, rather than individual letters or sounds.
Euphemism is a polite expression used in place of a rude, harsh, or embarrassing statement to avoid offending or humiliating someone. Euphemisms are made up of three Greek morphemes meaning "good voice act/result" and are used to soften expressions like "died" to "passed away" or describe someone as attending "remedial classes" rather than being "corrective". Common euphemisms include replacing "garbage man" with "sanitation engineer", calling the elderly "senior citizens" rather than "old people", and referring to pregnancy as being "in the family way".
Two figures are congruent when they have the same size and shape. Two triangles are congruent when their corresponding angles and sides are equal in measure. The document provides examples of identifying congruent triangles by showing that their corresponding angles and sides are equal.
Safety Measures for Different Weather Conditions.pptxNeilfieOrit2
On sunny days, people are at risk of headaches, sunburn, dehydration, and heatstroke. To stay safe in the heat, one should apply sunscreen, stay in the shade, wear sunglasses or a hat, drink plenty of water, and wipe sweat off the body. During rainy weather, people may get coughs or colds, so it's important to wear boots, sweaters, jackets, and use an umbrella, and eat warm food.
This document discusses how to become compassionate by showing empathy and helping those who are suffering through acts of mercy, such as feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, and visiting the sick. It encourages showing compassion when encountering victims of calamity by giving comfort and aid. Several examples are provided of compassionate acts like donating to charities, volunteering, and caring for family members.
Force can cause changes in the motion, shape, and size of objects. It can make stationary objects begin moving, slow or accelerate moving objects, and change the direction of moving objects. Friction is a type of force that occurs when two surfaces rub against each other. Applying more force to an object generally causes greater changes, such as compressing an object more if a stronger force is exerted.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
This document discusses affixes, including prefixes and suffixes. It provides examples of common prefixes like anti-, de-, dis-, en-, and in- and their meanings. Some common suffixes are -able, -al, -ed, -en, -er, -est, -ful, -ic, -ing, -(t)ion, -(i)ty, -(t)ive, and -ly. Affixes are added to root words to modify or change their meaning. Knowing common prefixes and suffixes can help the reader understand new words and sounds more educated.
This document defines and provides examples of consonance, assonance, and alliteration. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds anywhere in a word. Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds anywhere in a word. Alliteration is the repetition of any sounds at the beginning of words. The document compares and contrasts these three literary devices used to repeat sounds in language.
Polygons are plane figures formed by three or more line segments called sides that meet at points called vertices. A regular polygon has all interior angles that are congruent, while an irregular polygon does not have congruent interior angles. Regular polygons include triangles, squares, pentagons and other figures with five or more sides where all interior angles are equal.

3. Viruses – usually run their course and
eventually killed by your immune
system. Can’t be treated by antibiotics
Bacteria – are usually destroyed by your
immune system. Can be treated by
antibiotics.
Rickettsias – enter humans through
bites of insects (flees or lice).
4. How Communicable Diseases are
spread:
Direct Contact Indirect Contact Airborne Transmission
•Touching
•Biting
•Kissing
•Sexual Contact
•Sneezing
•Coughing
•Pregnant Women can pass
disease to unborn child
through placenta
•Contaminated Objects
•Vectors (flies, mosquitoes,
ticks)
•Water and Food
•Travel through the air for a
long time or distance
•Don’t settle quickly on
surfaces
5. Avoiding Spread of Communicable
Diseases
Cleanse Hands
Handling Food Properly
Eat a Balanced Diet
Regular Physical Activity
Avoid Alcohol, Tobacco, and other drugs
Don’t share utensils, makeup,
combs, brushes or other personal
items
Avoid unnecessary contact with people who are ill.
Take care of yourself when you are
ill (cover your mouth when you
cough/sneeze)
Be sure to get vaccinations
Learn to manage stress
7. PREVENTING COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
The Immune Response
• Pathogens invade the body.
•Macrophages engulf the pathogen.
•Macrophages digest the pathogen and T cells recognize antigens
of the pathogen as an invader.
•T cells bind to the antigens.
•B cells bind to antigens and helper T cells
•B cells produce plasma cells.
•Plasma cells release antibodies into the bloodstream.
•Antibodies bind to antigens to help other cells identify and
destroy pathogens.

9. COMMON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
Respiratory Infections
•Common Cold
•Influenza
•Pneumonia
•Strep Throat
•Tuberculosis Hepatitis
•Hepatitis A
•Hepatitis B
•Hepatitis C
Other
•Mononucleosis
•Measles
•Encephalitis

11. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Hypertension – high blood pressure
• Normal blood pressure: 110-120/50-
100
• Normal Heart Rate: 55-105
• Common among people over the age
of 35
• “Silent Killer” because it often has no
symptoms.
• Treatment: medication, weight
management, physical activity &
proper nutrition
12. CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES
Atherosclerosis – plaques
accumulate on artery walls.
• Buildup is due mainly to
food choices.
• Can cause blood clots
that can lead to heart
attack or strokes.
13. DISEASES OF THE HEART
Angina Pectoris – chest pain
that results when the heart
does not get enough oxygen
• Last from seconds to
minutes
• Warning sign that the heart
is temporarily not getting
enough blood
• Treatment: medication
14. DISEASES OF THE HEART
Arrhythmias– irregular heart beats
• Skip a beat
• Beat irregularly
• Beat very quickly
• Beat very slowly
15. DISEASES OF THE HEART
Heart Attack – damage to the heart muscle
caused by a reduced or blocked blood supply.
• Many heart attacks are sudden & cause
intense chest pain
16. DISEASES OF THE HEART
Congestive Heart Failure – heart
weakens and can’t maintain its regular
pumping rate and force.
• Gradually weakens
• Can be result of high blood pressure,
atherosclerosis, a heart valve defect
or other factors
• Management (not treatment):
medication, good nutrition, physical
activity.
17. DISEASES OF THE HEART
Stroke – arterial blockage interrupts the
flow of blood to the brain.
• Brain is deprived of oxygen
• Cerebral Hemorrhage – blood vessels
in brain burst.
18. DIAGNOSTIC TOOLS
EKG
Produces a graph of the
electrical activity of the
heart. It helps detect
the nature of a heart
attack and shows heart
function.
MRI
Uses powerful magnets
to produce images of
internal body organs.
The images are used to
identify heart damage
and heart defects.
Radionuclide
Imaging
Radionuclides injected
into the blood can be
observed on a
computer screen as
they pass through the
heart. Used to assess
the heart’s blood
supply and to show
heart function.
Angiography
A thin, flexible tube is
guided through blood
vessels to the heart.
Dye is injected, and
motion x rays are taken
to look for heart
obstructions.
19. TREATMENT OPTIONS
Coronary Bypass
Often a healthy vein is
removed from the leg
or chest and placed
elsewhere to create a
detour around a
blocked artery.
Angioplasty
A tube with a balloon is
inserted into a blocked
artery. The balloon is
inflated against the
artery walls. Then it is
deflated and removed.
A metal structure may
remain to keep the
artery open.
Medications
Various medications are
used to treat CVDs.
These include diuretics
to aid with the body’s
fluid balance,
cholesterol-lowering
drugs, and drugs that
slow the blood’s
clotting mechanisms in
order to reduce risk of
stroke.
Pacemaker
Pacemakers are used to
treat an irregular
heartbeat. The small
device sends steady
electrical impulses to
the heart to make it
beat regularly.
20. Why Teens Can Be At Risk

glands and body
linings, including
the skin and the
linings of the
digestive tract and
lungs.
Sarcomas
Cancers of
connective tissue,
including bones,
ligaments and
muscle.
24. Risk Factors for Cancer
• Abnormal cells that have the potential to become cancer cells are
produced every day and the immune system destroys most of them.
• If the immune systems becomes weakened or the number of cancer
cells becomes overwhelming, cancer may develop.
• Some cases – normal cells may change by themselves, in others it is
due to a faulty gene.
• Majority of cancers are caused by exposure to certain factors that
increase the risk of cell damage.
• Carcinogen from cigarette smoke
• Ultraviolet light (tanning)
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases
• Dietary factors
25. How to reduce our risk for
Cancer
• Practice abstinence from sexual activity
• Be physically active
• Maintain a healthy weight
• Eat nutritious foods
• Follow an eating plan that is low in saturated fat and high in fiber
• Protect your skin from ultraviolet radiation
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol
• Recognize warning signs of cancer
26. Treatment for Cancer
• Surgery
• Radiation Therapy
• Chemotherapy
• Immunotherapy
• Hormone Therapy
27. A word of CAUTION
about cancer

Unusual discharge or bleeding
Thickening or a lump in breast or other part of the body
Indigestion or difficulty swallowing
Obvious change in a wart of mole
Nagging cough or hoarseness
28. ALLERGIES
Common Allergens: pollen, food, dust, mold
spores, chemicals, insect venom, medicines.
Diagnosing
Allergies: Blood
test, food
elimination diet,
skin test
Treating Allergies: avoiding the allergens,
medicines with antihistamines, immunotherapy
(series of shots)

coughing/sneezing
• Manage the environment: avoid exposure to tobacco smoke
• Manage stress: Relax
• Take medication: can be used to relieve symptoms or prevent flare-
ups.
Asthma Attacks:
1. Muscles of the bronchial walls tighten and produce extra mucus.
2. Respiratory passages narrow.
3. Results can range from minor wheezing to severe difficulty in
breathing.
4. Can be life threatening
31. DIABETES
Type 1 Diabetes:
body does not produce insulin and glucose builds up in the
blood starving cells of the energy they need.
Treatment for Type 1 Diabetes:
Must take daily doses of insulin either through
injections or a special pump attached to the body by
tubing that is surgically implanted.
Accounts for 5-10% of
all diabetes cases.
32. DIABETES
Type 2 Diabetes:
found in older adults and in individuals that are obese or have
inactive lifestyles.
Treatment for Type 2 Diabetes:
weight management and regular physical activity.
Carefully monitor diet to control blood-sugar levels.
Some cases, oral medicines or injections.
Accounts for 90-95%
of all diabetes cases.
33. ARTHRITIS
Osteoarthritis – cartilage breaks down. Affects mainly the weight bearing joints of
the knees and hips, but can affect any joint including fingers, lower back, and
feet.
Rheumatoid Arthritis – Caused by an autoimmune disease, which has no cure.
Sufferers are likely to experience inflammation, swelling, stiffness, and joint
pain. Joints may become deformed and cease to function properly. Affects mainly
the joints in the hand, foot, elbow, shoulder, neck, knee, hip, and ankle.
Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis: Focus on relieving pain,
reducing inflammation and swelling, and joints moving as normally as
possible. A combination of exercise, rest, joint protection, and physical
and occupational therapy.
Treatment of Osteoarthritis: Controlling weight, preventing
sports injuries, protecting against Lyme Disease.
