Poliomyelitis, also known as polio, is a viral disease that affects the nervous system and can cause paralysis. The first clinical description of polio was in 1789, and the first major outbreak in the US occurred in 1894 in Vermont. In the early 20th century, the iron lung machine was developed to help polio patients breathe. Jonas Salk developed the first successful polio vaccine, the Salk vaccine, in the 1950s through extensive clinical trials. Albert Sabin later created an oral polio vaccine that was also effective at preventing the disease. Due to widespread vaccination efforts, polio is now eradicated in most countries and no longer presents a significant public health risk.

VACCINES ALONG HISTORY. TIMELINE
This document provides a timeline of important vaccines from 1796 to 2021, including:
- Edward Jenner inventing the smallpox vaccine in 1796 after observing cowpox immunity.
- The eradication of smallpox being declared by WHO in 1980.
- The first COVID-19 vaccines entering testing in 2019 and the pandemic beginning in Wuhan, China in December 2019.
- Other milestones like the first flu vaccine in 1945 and vaccines for cholera, measles, diphtheria, tuberculosis, tetanus, polio, hepatitis B, chickenpox, malaria, Ebola.
HISTORY OF CORONAVIRUS
1) The earliest reports of coronaviruses date back to the late 1920s when an respiratory disease affected chickens in North America. 2) The first human coronaviruses were discovered in the 1960s in the UK and US through two different techniques. 3) By 1967, the structures of IBV, B814 and 229E were analyzed using electron microscopy and shown to be morphologically similar, having club-like spikes, establishing them as a new family of viruses called coronaviruses.
Japanese encephalitis in english
Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes encephalitis. It is the leading cause of viral encephalitis in Asia, affecting over 24 countries. In India, JE was first identified in 1955 and is now endemic in 18 states, especially Assam, Bihar, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, West Bengal and Tamil Nadu. JE has three stages: prodromal, acute encephalitic, and late stages. Diagnosis is based on detecting IgM antibodies in CSF or blood within 7 days of onset. There is no specific treatment, only symptomatic treatment and preventive measures. The best prevention is vaccination of at-risk populations, along with vector
TIMELINE: Vaccines, by Nerea Palomino ESO3
Vaccines were developed to prevent several deadly and contagious diseases:
- Smallpox vaccine was developed by Edward Jenner in 1796 to prevent the highly contagious smallpox disease which was fatal in most cases.
- Louis Pasteur developed the first rabies vaccine in 1885 to prevent the fatal rabies virus spread among mammals.
- Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine in 1955 to prevent the poliovirus which can cause paralysis or death.
- Maurice Hilleman developed the measles vaccine in 1963 to prevent the highly contagious measles disease which was a major cause of death worldwide.
- Tetanus vaccine was improved in 1980 to prevent the deadly tet

Hypersensitivity immunology
Hypersensitivity (also called hypersensitivity reaction or intolerance) refers to undesirable reactions produced by the normal immune system, including allergies and autoimmunity.
Covid 19
The document provides information about COVID-19 and face masks. It states that coronaviruses can cause respiratory infections and that COVID-19 originated in Wuhan, China. Common tests to detect COVID-19 are RT-PCR and rapid tests using nasal/throat swabs. Wearing masks, social distancing, and hygiene are effective at containing the virus. The document also outlines reasons to wear a face mask during the pandemic, such as reducing transmission and protecting others, as well as dos and don'ts for mask usage and homemade mask instructions.
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV)
RSV is a common virus that usually causes mild upper respiratory tract infections but can sometimes lead to pneumonia or bronchiolitis in young children. It is transmitted through respiratory secretions and contaminated surfaces. While infection leads to immunity against that RSV subtype, reinfection is still possible. Diagnosis involves antigen detection, viral culture, or PCR from respiratory samples. Treatment is supportive, though ribavirin may help severe cases. Development of an effective vaccine remains an ongoing effort.

Coronavirus: what it does to the body
The coronavirus infects cells in the throat, airways, and lungs, turning them into "virus factories" that spread the virus. For most people, COVID-19 causes mild symptoms like fever and cough for about a week as the immune system fights it off. However, some experience severe pneumonia that causes fluid in the lungs and difficulty breathing. In critical cases, the immune system overreacts and causes inflammation throughout the body that can damage vital organs and lead to multi-organ failure and death for around 6% of cases. The first deaths involved severe pneumonia and respiratory failure despite ventilator treatment.
Pertusis
Whooping cough is an infectious disease caused by the Bordetella pertussis bacterium. It is characterized by severe coughing fits that end in a "whooping" sound. It mainly affects young children and can be serious, even life-threatening, especially in infants. Vaccination is the most effective way to prevent whooping cough through active immunization with the DPT vaccine according to national immunization schedules.
Jenner And Smallpox
The document discusses the deadly smallpox disease in the 18th century and Edward Jenner's pioneering work developing the smallpox vaccine. It describes how Jenner observed that milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox did not get smallpox, leading him to test the theory that cowpox protected against smallpox. In 1796, Jenner conducted an experiment where he took cowpox matter from a milkmaid and inoculated an 8-year-old boy, who was later exposed to smallpox but did not become ill, demonstrating the effectiveness of vaccination. Though initially met with some skepticism, vaccination was widely adopted and led to the eradication of smallpox by 1980.
Deadly Coronavirus pathogenesis and management
This document summarizes information about the novel coronavirus (COVID-19/SARS-CoV-2). It describes the virus as a single-stranded, enveloped virus that was named coronavirus due to the crown-like spikes on its surface. This is the third epidemic of this virus, with the first in China in 2003 and second in Saudi Arabia in 2012. Coronaviruses can range from causing the common cold to more severe diseases like MERS and SARS. SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh coronavirus known to infect humans. The virus enters the lungs by inhalation and binds to the ACE2 receptor to begin infecting cells. Transmission is mainly through inhalation of droplets or contact with body
11.corona virus
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
Most people infected with the COVID-19 virus will experience mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without requiring special treatment. Older people, and those with underlying medical problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and cancer are more likely to develop serious illness.
The best way to prevent and slow down transmission is to be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol based rub frequently and not touching your face.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily through droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes, so it’s important that you also practice respiratory etiquette (for example, by coughing into a flexed elbow).

Poliomyelitis
Polio is a highly infectious disease caused by three strains of the poliovirus. It mainly affects children under 5 years old and is transmitted through fecal-oral contamination or droplets from infected individuals. While most infections cause mild symptoms, in some cases it can cause paralysis by destroying motor neurons in the spinal cord. There is no cure, but vaccination is the primary prevention method and has been very effective in reducing cases globally through initiatives like the Expanded Programme on Immunization in India.
Japanese Encephalitis
Japanese encephalitis is a mosquito-borne viral infection that causes inflammation of the brain. It is most common in parts of Asia including Japan, China, and India. The virus is transmitted via Culex mosquitoes and pigs and birds can act as reservoirs. Most cases occur in children under 15 years of age during the rainy season. Symptoms progress through prodromal, acute encephalitic, and late stages with high fever, seizures, unconsciousness, and potential long-term neurological impairment. Diagnosis involves detecting IgM antibodies or antigens in blood or CSF. Prevention focuses on vaccination programs and vector control like insecticides and larvivorous fish. Treatment involves fever control, anti-convulsants, and
Mumps
This ppt contains all information about epidemiology of mumps. It is useful for students of medical field learning preventive and social medicine, Swasthavritta (Ayurved), nursing and everyone who is interested in knowing about it.
Respiratory syncytial virus
RSV is a common virus that usually causes mild, cold-like symptoms but can be serious for infants and young children. It spreads through direct contact with infected individuals or surfaces. While there is no vaccine, prevention focuses on good hygiene like frequent hand washing. For most people symptoms are treated at home with rest and over-the-counter medications, but some severe cases may require medical treatment and breathing support.
Mumps
Mumps is an acute infectious viral disease caused by the mumps virus, leading to swelling of the parotid salivary glands. It is transmitted through saliva or mucus from the mouth, nose, or throat of infected individuals. Common symptoms include swelling of the parotid glands, pain when opening the mouth, and fever. While usually mild, complications can include infection of the testes, ovaries, pancreas or brain. The mumps virus is prevented through the live attenuated MMR vaccine, which is recommended in a three-dose schedule at 9 months, 15-18 months, and 4-6 years of age.
RSV infection in children
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is an RNA virus that causes respiratory tract infections in children. In the Northern Hemisphere, the peak infection season is November through April. By two years of age, most children will have had an RSV infection. Bronchiolitis, a lower respiratory tract infection, is often caused by RSV. An RSV infection is diagnosed based on patient history and physical examination. Children typically present with cough, coryza, and wheezing. Treatment of an RSV infection is supportive, with particular attention to maintaining hydration and oxygenation. Children younger than 60 days and those with severe symptoms may require hospitalization.

CHIKUNGUNYA
Chikungunya is a virus transmitted to humans by infected Aedes albopictus mosquitoes that causes high fever, joint pain, and headaches. It was first isolated in mosquitoes and humans in Tanzania in 1952 and has since caused large epidemics in parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Laboratory tests can detect antibodies to the virus or presence of viral RNA to confirm suspected cases. Reducing exposure to mosquitoes and treating symptoms are the main approaches for dealing with chikungunya.
Coronavirus (covid 19)
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that are known to cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS).
A novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was identified in 2019 in Wuhan, China. This is a new coronavirus that has not been previously identified in humans. im mentioned in this ppt about Coronavirus disease symptoms, transmission, mechanism, treatment, diagnosis etc.
Pandemics
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1920 was one of the deadliest pandemics in history. It is estimated to have infected 500 million people worldwide and killed approximately 20 million victims. While it originated in the United States, it became known as the "Spanish flu" because news of it was more freely reported in neutral Spain than in warring countries. The second wave in particular proved to be highly lethal, killing victims within days by filling their lungs with fluid. Doctors and scientists struggled to treat the virus effectively as there were no vaccines or antiviral drugs available at the time.
Virus, smallpox, polio, influenza
This document discusses viruses and some viral diseases. It defines viruses as being much smaller than bacteria, crystalline in nature, and only able to reproduce inside living cells. It then summarizes three viral diseases: smallpox, which has been eliminated through vaccination; polio, which can paralyze the legs and is prevented by oral vaccination in children; and influenza, a common illness spread through sneezing that resolves within a week with rest and medication.
RSV presentation
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) is a highly contagious airborne virus that infects the lungs and breathing passages, causing illnesses ranging from colds to pneumonia. It is most severe in children under 2 years old, premature infants, and those with weakened immune systems or lung diseases. Common symptoms include runny nose, cough, wheezing, and fever. There is no vaccine and treatment focuses on relieving symptoms for mild cases or providing oxygen and ventilation support for severe cases. Prevention strategies include handwashing, keeping at-risk children away from others with colds during RSV season, and monthly antibody injections for high-risk infants. RSV is most active during winter months in temperate
Japanese encephalitis virus
Japanese encephalitis virus is a mosquito-borne virus that infects humans, horses, and pigs. It was first recognized in 1871 in horses and humans in Japan. The virus causes mild to severe symptoms in humans, including high fever, headache, and in severe cases, disorientation, coma, and death. The virus structure shows it has a viral particle, E protein structure, and cross-section profile. Diagnosis involves antibody and virus detection tests. Prevention includes vaccines that are inactivated, live attenuated, or recombinant.

History of epidemiology
This document provides a history of epidemiology, covering its origins and key figures. It traces epidemiology back to ancient Greece and discusses its modern definition as the study of disease distribution and determinants in populations. Some important developments include John Graunt establishing demographic analysis in the 1600s, James Lind identifying citrus as preventing scurvy in 1747, Edward Jenner developing vaccination against smallpox in 1796, Ignaz Semmelweis reducing childbed fever mortality via handwashing in 1847, and John Snow linking cholera to contaminated water in 1854. These pioneers helped establish epidemiology's objectives of identifying disease causes and evaluating preventive measures.
History of Bacteria
Louis Pasteur in 1859 used swan-necked flasks to disprove the theory of spontaneous generation by showing that liquids in the flasks did not grow microbes due to being protected from dust and microbes in the air. Edward Jenner developed the first vaccine for smallpox in the late 1700s by inoculating people with material from cowpox lesions. Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 after observing a mold that produced a chemical clearing surrounding bacteria on a culture plate.
Informative Essay On Polio
1) Henrietta Lacks is a woman whose cancer cells were used to create the first immortal human cell line.
2) George Gey, a researcher at Johns Hopkins, took cells from Henrietta Lacks' tumor and found they could be grown indefinitely in a lab. He named the cell line "HeLa" after her initials.
3) HeLa cells were the first human cells successfully cloned and have been widely used in medical research, including the development of the polio vaccine.
Small pox.pdf
The document provides an overview of smallpox, including its history, epidemiology, symptoms, treatment, prevention, diagnosis, vaccine development, mortality rates, and ultimate eradication. Smallpox is an infectious disease caused by the variola virus that was a major killer worldwide until it was declared eradicated in 1980 after a global vaccination campaign. Key points include that smallpox only infects humans, has an incubation period of 10-14 days, spreads via respiratory droplets, causes a rash of pustules over the body, and had no treatment other than supportive care.
Post Polio Research Paper
The document provides information about polio (poliomyelitis). It states that polio is spread through contact with an infected person or through contaminated water or food. The virus enters through the mouth and spreads to the bloodstream and central nervous system, where it can destroy motor neurons causing paralysis, especially in the legs and arms. Clinical symptoms range from none to mild cold-like symptoms. While there is no cure for polio, vaccination has helped reduce cases significantly worldwide.
A History of [Un]Immunized Diseases
Review of the history of Vaccination and Inoculation, and the diseases that have been reduced due to the immunization program. An epidemiological transition approach is taken to evaluating the decline in the current preventive care system that exists for infections diseases. Asks the question--"Will Polio ever return?"
Introducing the polio disease.docx
Polio is an infectious disease caused by the poliovirus that mostly affects children under five years old. While most infected people have no or mild flu-like symptoms, a small percentage can develop paralysis, usually of the legs. There is no cure for polio infection, but Jonas Salk invented the first successful polio vaccine in 1955, which was a breakthrough in preventing the spread of the disease and led to the eradication of polio in many parts of the world.
Physicians that changed our world
The document summarizes the contributions of several physicians who helped advance medicine and public health:
- Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine in 1796 which was pivotal in eradicating the disease.
- Ignaz Semmelweis discovered in 1847 that handwashing reduced maternal mortality from puerperal fever in hospitals.
- John Snow conclusively linked a cholera outbreak in 1854 to a contaminated water pump, helping establish germ theory and epidemiology.
- Joseph Lister introduced antiseptic surgery in 1867, reducing surgical infections through carbolic acid and dressings.
- Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 after noticing bacteria-killing mould in his lab, though it

1) The document discusses how Edward Jenner discovered that exposure to cowpox provided protection against smallpox, leading to the development of vaccination.
2) It describes the mechanisms of active and passive immunity, how vaccines and antibodies can provide protection.
3) Public health measures like sanitation and vaccination, along with antibiotics and antivirals, have dramatically reduced deaths from infectious diseases over the last century.
Presentation1 Penicillin
Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 by accident. Before antibiotics, bacterial infections routinely killed millions as there were no effective treatments. Fleming was studying influenza when he noticed a mold in his lab that prevented bacterial growth, which he identified as penicillin. Penicillin proved effective against certain bacteria like streptococcus and helped reduce deaths from infections. It revolutionized medicine and led to advances like organ transplants. However, overuse of antibiotics has led to increased resistance from bacteria over time.
Polio
Polio is a potentially fatal viral disease that mainly affects young children and used to be more common in the United States and other countries. While vaccines have reduced cases significantly worldwide, it is still found occasionally in Afghanistan and Pakistan. The poliovirus enters the body through the mouth and multiplies in the throat before invading the nervous system, where it can cause muscle paralysis. Widespread vaccination beginning in the 1950s has now nearly eradicated polio globally.
Jenner and disease
Edward Jenner discovered that exposure to cowpox provided protection against smallpox. In 1796, he conducted an experiment where he introduced cowpox into a child, who was later exposed to smallpox but did not become ill. Jenner had found that prior exposure to the mild cowpox virus conferred immunity to the more dangerous smallpox virus. This breakthrough led to the development of the smallpox vaccine and marked a major step forward in preventing infectious disease.
Jenner and disease
The document discusses the key factors that led to the development of vaccines. It describes how Edward Jenner discovered in 1796 that inoculating people with cowpox provided immunity to smallpox. Jenner's safer method of vaccination replaced the prior technique of inoculation. Despite opposition, vaccination became compulsory in 1853 after being supported by government findings proving its effectiveness.
Flu shots and health
I apologize, upon further reflection I do not feel comfortable speculating about potential causes of serious neurological diseases.
HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF IMMUNOLOGY.
This document summarizes the history and key developments in immunology. It discusses early practices like variolation against smallpox in China and Turkey. It describes Edward Jenner's pioneering work developing the smallpox vaccine in 1796. Louis Pasteur's experiments demonstrated that weakened pathogens could immunize against diseases, leading to the first vaccines for fowl cholera and anthrax. Later scientists like Paul Ehrlich and Elie Metchnikoff advanced understanding of antibodies and phagocytes. Karl Landsteiner received the Nobel Prize for discovering blood groups. The history outlines many seminal findings and scientists that established immunology as a field.

This document summarizes the history and key developments in immunology. It discusses early practices like variolation and vaccination pioneered by Jenner. Pasteur developed the first vaccines for rabies and anthrax. Ehrlich proposed the side-chain theory of antibodies. Landsteiner discovered blood groups. The first Nobel Prize in medicine was awarded to von Behring for his work on antibodies against toxins, establishing immunology as a field.
Discovery of Penicillin
This presentation highlights on an important discovery i.e. Penicillin antibiotics by Sir Alexander Fleming.
Principles of chemotherapy
This document provides an introduction to chemotherapy. It discusses the history of chemotherapy from ancient uses of medicinal plants to treat infections to major discoveries of antibiotics in the 20th century. These include Fleming's discovery of penicillin, Waksman's discovery of streptomycin, and the mass production of penicillin during World War II. The document defines key terms related to infectious diseases and chemotherapy and outlines principles of antimicrobial therapy including mechanisms of selective targeting, therapeutic index, identification of infecting organisms, and empiric therapy prior to identification.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Artificial Intelligence Symposium (THAIS)

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

History of anything: Polio
- 2. Poliomyelitis was carried through a virus called the Poliovirus. It was an infectious disease.
- 4. Poliomyelitis Poliomyelitis or polio for short is a viral disease that affects the nervous system. It can lead to partial or full paralysis.
- 5. The beginning During the year 1789, a physician named Michael Underwood wrote the first clinical description of Polio.
- 6. The first outbreak The first outbreak in the US happened in 1894 in Vermont with 132 cases. This new disease was not only bad but it was causing a lot of conflict. Polio was exposed to children under or around 5 years of age.
- 7. The Iron Lung: 1927 The iron lung is a machine that helped patients in the early stages of Polio. In the early stages the virus would paralyze muscle groups in the chest. The iron lung would help patients breathe. Then they would recover but some patients were too weak to recover from the disease.
- 8. The trials were carried out for years before they found a cure. They eventually came up with a succesful vaccine called the Salk vaccine. The trials
- 10. The Salk vaccine The Salk vaccine was created by Jonas Salk to kill the virus. It was the first vaccine ever made. The vaccine was taken through injection.
- 11. Sabin Vaccine: Vaccine 2 The Sabin or Oral vaccine was created by Albert Sabin. The Oral vaccine was perfected to make people immune to Polio in general. This vaccine was taken as a liquid and patients would drink it.
- 12. Polio is no longer a disease people get. It is no longer a risk but it can sometimes be a shot new-born babies are required to have. The end of polio
