This document discusses three diseases that threaten public health: avian influenza, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Avian influenza infects birds and some other animals, and can infect humans. The United States prepares for avian influenza through stockpiling vaccines and antiviral drugs. Gonorrhea and chlamydia are sexually transmitted diseases that can cause health issues if untreated. Both diseases are treated with antibiotics and prevention includes safe sex practices. Information technology helps prevent the spread of diseases by providing online information on symptoms, transmission, treatment and prevention.

Tracking Food Poisoning Around the World
It’s wrong to say that food poisoning is not as big of a concern as cancer, heart disease, or any other health condition. In Australia, for instance, it’s a standard medical issue: an estimated 4.1 million Australians get afflicted by food-borne illnesses each year. That’s about 11,500 people coming down with food-borne illnesses daily. And throughout the world, it’s largely the same thing.
The conclution of the paper abortion AKBID YKN CABANG RAHA
Abortion is a debated medical issue that can occur due to factors like genetic abnormalities, abnormal fetal growth, or placental issues. There are physical and psychological health risks for women who undergo abortions. Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are diseases easily spread through sexual contact that cause genital abnormalities and remain a global public health problem. Common STIs include gonorrhea, genital warts, syphilis, herpes, and HIV/AIDS, with sex workers having high infection rates of 80-90% despite yearly improvements.
Prevent H1N1
The document discusses preventing the H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu. It provides information from the CDC on the 2009 H1N1 pandemic, symptoms of H1N1 flu, high-risk groups, sources of contamination, myths about the flu, and prevention methods. Additional resources on containing the flu are referenced from the CDC, Clorox, and The University of Memphis Student Health Services blog.

Malnutrition continues to play a major role in one-third of child deaths worldwide and makes children more susceptible to infectious diseases like pneumonia, malaria, and diarrhea. Tanzania suffers from both high rates of malnutrition and infectious diseases among children under five. This study aims to examine trends in malnutrition rates and burdens of infectious diseases across Tanzania's different regions, as well as identify common infectious diseases associated with malnutrition in each region. The results could help inform efforts to address the intertwined problems of undernutrition and infection among Tanzanian children.
Avian Flu Scare
1) In 2005-2006 there was widespread fear that the H5N1 avian influenza virus would mutate to allow human-to-human transmission and cause a global pandemic.
2) While the virus killed over 100 million birds in Vietnam and over 50% of the 117 humans infected there, it did not achieve human-to-human transmission.
3) Countries took precautions like culling domestic birds, spraying disinfectants, stockpiling antiviral drugs and developing vaccines in case the virus mutated as feared.
Up the Uptake Final
This document proposes a program called "Up the Uptake" to increase influenza vaccination rates among pregnant women in Whatcom County, Washington. Influenza disproportionately affects pregnant women and their infants, increasing risks of hospitalization, premature birth, and even death. While vaccination can reduce these risks, current rates remain below targets. The program will use evidence-based interventions including an educational pamphlet, electronic health record reminders, and provider education to promote vaccination through multilevel outreach at the intrapersonal, interpersonal, institutional, and community levels. Program goals and evaluation methods are outlined to assess outcomes.
Malaria prevalence and treatment seeking behaviour
Malaria is a major health problem in Nigeria, affecting 97% of the population. Each year there are an estimated 100 million cases of malaria in Nigeria, resulting in over 300,000 deaths. Malaria prevalence is highest in children ages 5-59 months in southern, central, and western Nigeria. Repeated malaria infections contribute to severe anemia and increased risk of death in children under 5 years old. This study aims to understand the current prevalence of malaria in Nigeria, environmental factors that allow transmission, and behaviors regarding treatment seeking for the disease. It also aims to educate the public about the effectiveness of insecticide-treated bed nets in preventing malaria transmission.
Human papilloma virus essay
The human papilloma virus (HPV) causes warts on the body in different locations depending on the virus type. There are over 100 HPV types, and while often sexually transmitted, HPV can spread through any skin-to-skin contact. Genital HPV types are associated with cervical cancer in women. HPV infections cannot always be cured, though vaccines and treatments can remove warts. Prevention focuses on safe sex practices and reducing sexual partners for genital HPV.

Introduction to epidemiology
This document provides an introduction to epidemiology. It defines epidemiology as the study of health-related states and events in populations and applying this to control health problems. Epidemiology is used to assess community health, identify new diseases, monitor existing diseases, and evaluate control measures. The five Ws of epidemiology are the clinical aspects (what), descriptive epidemiology (who, where, when), and analytic epidemiology (why, how). Descriptive studies overview patterns of occurrence while analytic studies assess disease determinants. Diseases are also classified by their levels of occurrence as endemic, epidemic, sporadic, or pandemic based on how many people are affected and whether the disease is a new outbreak or constant presence.
POLIO AS A GLOBAL HEALTH CONCERN-TO
Global Health Issues; A perspectives from global eradication of Wild-Polio Virus
The document discusses polio eradication as a global health issue. It explores the biological and social factors associated with the persistence of polio in some countries. While vaccination programs have reduced polio cases by 99%, the remaining 1% of cases are located in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Nigeria. Eradicating the final 1% faces challenges including political instability, conflict, and poor health infrastructure in these endemic countries. A holistic approach is needed that considers how global diplomacy impacts health interventions.

The document discusses the impacts of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) on maternal and child health outcomes in sub-Saharan Africa. It notes that over 13,000 mothers, newborns, and children die every day in sub-Saharan Africa. A substantial proportion of global malnutrition is due to repeated enteric infections impairing nutrient absorption. Lack of access to clean water and adequate sanitation contributes to persistent diarrhea and enteric infections, perpetuating a cycle of malnutrition. Improving WASH interventions could help reduce mortality and malnutrition among mothers and young children.
Abdul Rao Insights On H1N1 Vaccination Drive
Dr. Abdul Rao, CEO of The Institute of Women's Health of North America, collaborated with FloridaSHOTS to initiate a 2009 H1N1 influenza virus vaccination program across six affiliated campuses in Florida. This opportunity allowed over 10,000 residents in several counties to get vaccinated. The Institute mobilized extensive infrastructure to effectively implement the vaccination program. It continues working with health departments and organizations to enhance the outreach and effectiveness of the program, offering hundreds of vaccines on a walk-in basis at affiliated campuses.

9 infection control_and_prevention
This document discusses infection control and prevention. It begins by defining key terms like host, agent, vector, and vehicle. It then explains how diseases are transmitted, listing the main modes of transmission like direct contact, droplet, indirect contact, vector, vehicle and airborne. Specific examples are given for each mode. The document also discusses factors that influence disease causation in a host. Finally, it reviews important infection control measures that can help prevent or stop the spread of disease through various routes of transmission. These include practices like hand hygiene, respiratory etiquette, isolation, vaccination, and appropriate use of antibiotics.
Malaria
Malaria is a serious disease spread by infected mosquitoes that causes symptoms like fever, chills, and vomiting. It is caused by four different parasites and is a major cause of death in developing countries with warm climates, though it has been almost eliminated in the United States. The disease can be life-threatening but is treatable with antimalarial medicines prescribed based on the type of malaria and location where infected.
Traveler's diarrhea in children
1. Traveler's diarrhea is the most common travel-related illness in children. It affects 28.6% of traveling children on average. Young children and those traveling to Africa, South Asia, and Latin America have the highest risk.
2. Pre-travel consultation is recommended to discuss hygiene, vaccines, and risk factors. Basic hygiene like handwashing and drinking only bottled/boiled water can help prevent diarrhea but evidence is limited. Preventive medications are not recommended for children due to lack of efficacy and safety concerns.
3. More research is needed on pediatric traveler's diarrhea epidemiology, risk factors, and evidence-based prevention/management given children have distinct characteristics from adult

The document discusses statistics on HIV and AIDS from the World Health Organization, including the timing of the epidemic between two time periods marked by blue and pink lines, the number of people living with HIV or AIDS globally, and the people and regions most affected based on data reported to WHO from 1979 to 1999 as shown in various tables and slides from UNAIDS and WHO reports.
Poster Presentation of Swine Flu
Swine flu, also known as Influenza A (H1N1), pig influenza, swine flu, hog flu and pig flu is a new influenza virus causing illness in people1. It infect the respiratory tract and result in nasal secretions, a barking like cough, decreased appetite and listless behaviour. It has been found that this new virus has gene segments from the swine, avian and human flu virus genes, hence named “swine flu”. The scientists calls this a ‘quadruple reassortant” virus and hence this new (novel) virus is christened “influenza-A (H1N1) virus.” Influenza A H1N1 is a circulating seasonal influenza virus was first reported in Mexico on 18th March, 2009 and then spread to neighbouring United States and Canada. As on 8th June, 2009, World Health Organization has reported 25,288 laboratory confirmed cases of influenza A/H1N1 infection with 139 deaths from 73 countries spread over America, Europe, Asia and Australian continent.

H0506034045
This document summarizes a study that assessed the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of mothers in Jos North, Nigeria regarding childhood immunization. The study used a questionnaire to survey 232 mothers with children aged 0-1 years old. It found that while most mothers (89.6%) had good overall knowledge of vaccines, less than 60% reported vaccinating their children on schedule and less than 3% had negative attitudes towards immunization. Factors like education level, marital status, religion, and whether the mother was vaccinated as a child influenced mothers' knowledge. Records also showed only 23.4% of children completed their vaccination schedules, revealing poor practice. The study concluded health education and promotion efforts are needed to improve mothers' knowledge
Statistical analysis on household factors influencing annual episodes of malaria
Malaria is responsible for about 66 per cent of all clinic visits in Nigeria. It accounts for 25% of under-5 mortality, 30% childhood mortality and 11% maternal mortality. At least 50% of the population will have at least one episode of malaria annually. Moreover, environment dictates the incidence and prevalence of diseases all over the world and if timely action is not taken, it may lead to diseases. Three (3) out of six (6) major towns in Ido local government area are considered and accumulated one hundred and ninety one (191) individuals as respondents using haphazard non probability sampling technique for selection. The obtained data through questionnaire was presented on frequency table and charts while inferential statistics were analysed using dummy variables in regression. It was revealed that majority of the respondents suffered from one or more incidences of malaria in a year, where female had the higher percentage of the incidence and there was high incidence of malaria among the adult ages 30years and above. The qualitative predictor variable in regression analysis revealed significant relationship between annual episode of malaria and number of members of household, toilet type, absent ceiling, building type, disposable site and source of domestic water. The ANOVA, F – test was significant for all predicted factors. Conclusively, in the view of the discovery, it was therefore recommended that people need awareness on densely populated area / household are more prone to experience more episodes of malaria incidence than sparsely populated one, encouragement on utilization of closed domestic water system instead of open system to avoid reservoir for mosquito, enlightenment on type toilet used and avoid absence ceiling to prevent being a breeding site for mosquitoes, government to stage more campaign against malaria especially for adult not for children under 5year alone and create a task force officer/ sanitary inspectors to checkmate sanitation of our environment to avoid unkempt toilet habit which serves as breeding site for mosquitoes.
S10 Herpes MV
Herpes is caused by two viruses, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 usually causes oral herpes around the mouth, while HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes. Both viruses can be transmitted through oral or genital contact. While some people show no symptoms, others experience painful blisters in the infected area. There is no cure for herpes, but antiviral medications can reduce outbreaks. Over half of American adults have oral herpes while around 20% have genital herpes, which is more common in women and African Americans.

The study used a questionnaire to survey 232 mothers with children aged 0-1 years old. It found that while most mothers (89.6%) had good overall knowledge of vaccines, less than 60% reported vaccinating their children on schedule and less than 3% had negative attitudes towards immunization. Factors like education level, marital status, religion, and whether the mother was vaccinated as a child influenced mothers' knowledge. Records also showed only 23.4% of children completed their vaccination schedules, revealing poor practice. The study concluded health education and promotion efforts are needed to improve mothers' knowledge
Statistical analysis on household factors influencing annual episodes of malaria
Malaria is responsible for about 66 per cent of all clinic visits in Nigeria. It accounts for 25% of under-5 mortality, 30% childhood mortality and 11% maternal mortality. At least 50% of the population will have at least one episode of malaria annually. Moreover, environment dictates the incidence and prevalence of diseases all over the world and if timely action is not taken, it may lead to diseases. Three (3) out of six (6) major towns in Ido local government area are considered and accumulated one hundred and ninety one (191) individuals as respondents using haphazard non probability sampling technique for selection. The obtained data through questionnaire was presented on frequency table and charts while inferential statistics were analysed using dummy variables in regression. It was revealed that majority of the respondents suffered from one or more incidences of malaria in a year, where female had the higher percentage of the incidence and there was high incidence of malaria among the adult ages 30years and above. The qualitative predictor variable in regression analysis revealed significant relationship between annual episode of malaria and number of members of household, toilet type, absent ceiling, building type, disposable site and source of domestic water. The ANOVA, F – test was significant for all predicted factors. Conclusively, in the view of the discovery, it was therefore recommended that people need awareness on densely populated area / household are more prone to experience more episodes of malaria incidence than sparsely populated one, encouragement on utilization of closed domestic water system instead of open system to avoid reservoir for mosquito, enlightenment on type toilet used and avoid absence ceiling to prevent being a breeding site for mosquitoes, government to stage more campaign against malaria especially for adult not for children under 5year alone and create a task force officer/ sanitary inspectors to checkmate sanitation of our environment to avoid unkempt toilet habit which serves as breeding site for mosquitoes.
S10 Herpes MV
Herpes is caused by two viruses, HSV-1 and HSV-2. HSV-1 usually causes oral herpes around the mouth, while HSV-2 typically causes genital herpes. Both viruses can be transmitted through oral or genital contact. While some people show no symptoms, others experience painful blisters in the infected area. There is no cure for herpes, but antiviral medications can reduce outbreaks. Over half of American adults have oral herpes while around 20% have genital herpes, which is more common in women and African Americans.

The document discusses a study that investigated the inter-relationships between teachers' beliefs about educational technology and how those beliefs originated. It first defines teacher beliefs and outlines how beliefs influence technology integration in the classroom. It then describes the origins of teacher beliefs and presents results from interviews with teachers regarding their beliefs about how technology should be used for motivation, personalization, and overcoming issues of access. The study found that teachers' beliefs were influenced by learning from colleagues, their own experiences as students, and practical uses of technology in their own classrooms.

Introduction
Influenza commonly known as flu is a contagious respiratory infection that attacks the general respiratory system that is, the nose, throat, and even the lungs. It is caused by the two types of influenza viruses which are influenza A, influenza B and influenza C (Wang & Tao, 2010). Attacks from both viruses are epidemic and seasonal as they are common within specific periods within a year. Attack mechanisms for influenza A viruses depends on the genes on the surface protein of a patient. They are normally spread through sneezing and coughing from an infected individual to the surrounding air (Wang & Tao, 2010).
The flu can also attack an individual in case they get into direct body tissue contact with an infected individual for example handshaking. Health professionals argue that the flu virus is stubborn and spreads mainly over tiny droplets which are produced when the infected individuals’ cough, talk, and sneeze (Wang & Tao, 2010). Such droplets are easily carried by the surrounding air and can be landed in the nose and mouths of the immediate persons. Additionally, it can enter into one’s system if he or she gets into direct contact with a surface or object that has the influenza bacteria and consequently rubs or touches their nose, mouth or even eyes (Wang & Tao, 2010).
Health departments have overtime identified initiative to address the problem of influenza, such initiatives include:
Reducing human exposure to the flu viruses, this initiative works by notifying the public on the safe ways to prevent and control the spread of the virus and it actively works to reduce infection opportunities and curbs the spread of the pandemic virus (Abramson, 2011).

Epidemic Diseases
Epidemic diseases are spread by insects passing on microorganisms like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa when they feed or bite. Mosquitoes in particular spread serious epidemic diseases such as malaria, yellow fever, African sleeping sickness, and West Nile virus. Malaria is one of the deadliest diseases worldwide, spread by the bite of the Anopheles mosquito between dusk and dawn across over 100 countries. Yellow fever is also spread by mosquitoes and causes varied symptoms with most improving after a few days but some experiencing liver and kidney failure. Vaccines exist for these diseases but are not always accessible in developing areas.

An endemic refers to the usual presence of a disease within a geographic area, such as chickenpox among children in the US. An epidemic is when an infectious disease spreads rapidly to many people in excess of normal rates, like SARS in 2003. A pandemic is a global epidemic, such as HIV/AIDS or influenza that has occurred throughout history. Prevention methods include vaccinations, hand washing, and avoiding mosquito bites to prevent the spread of diseases from endemic to epidemic or pandemic levels.

Vaccines Safety and Effectiveness
Do you think vaccination is an important or just harmful substance forced by pharmaceutical companies cooperating with the governments to inject into people? Vaccine can be defined as “biological preparations that, when introduced into the body, cause an individual to acquire immunity to a specific disease” (Davidson. 7). So, for decades, vaccines have been considered one of the best revaluation in medical practice. A long time ago, people all around the world tried to fight with different kinds of fatal diseases by different ways, and one of the most Significant ways is to make a vaccine, to prevent such life- threatening diseases. The first vaccine was against the Smallpox disease. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease and caused a lot of fatalities all around the world, and it is transmitted between people by inhalation of droplets of virus or direct contact with smallpox lesion secretions (Davidson 25). It is a deadly disease, it caused blindness and permanent scars in the patients that survived. Finally, after several attempts to make a vaccine for Smallpox, Edward succeeded to produce an effective and safe vaccine in 1796 by using the cowpox vaccine to protect from smallpox. Cowpox is a disease cause by cows and transferred to human, and Jenner’s theory was based that whoever had cowpox will be immunized against smallpox (Davidson 29). “Edward Jenner was an English country doctor who introduced the vaccine for smallpox. Previously a keen practitioner of smallpox inoculation.”
Then, century after century, vaccine after vaccine was developed for different kinds of diseases. In the 20th century, one of the most known vaccines was Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines. Diphtheria is a respiratory illness, causing the release of exotoxin from Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria which leads to death of mucus cells in the throat, mouth and nose, and as a result of cells accumulation the pseudo-membrane are build up and block the airways of the patients which causes death (Davidson 42) After years of experiments and trials to make a vaccine to fight this disease, Gaston Ramon a French veterinarian and biologist who realized that attenuated Diphtheria toxin is able to activate the immune system of people without causing serious side effects, and by 1927, the toxoid vaccine was freely used all around the world, and it succeeds to drop the number of cases of diphtheria. Then, by using the same way of toxoid, combined Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid vaccines were produced. Tetanus can be described as a nerves system infection that leads to spasm and contract of body muscles, especially jaw muscles which make the patients unable to open their mouths (Davidson. 44)
Another example of one of the most significant vaccine is a Polio vaccine. Polio disease, mainly affecting children under 5 years old, and leading to paralysis and often to death due to immobilization of respi.

Abstract
While research shows that no one preventative measure can curb cases of HIV prevalence, high rates of infertility, and pelvic inflammatory diseases, STIs prevention has shown to be an effective way of drastically reducing these cases. This is because most STIs are the leading causes of these conditions. Therefore, reducing the rates of STIs is an essential aspect of reducing these cases worldwide. We shall look into the relationship between STIs and HIV prevalence, high infertility rates, and pelvic inflammatory diseases. Using a systematic review of previous research papers, we shall seek to show the importance of preventing STIs.
Keywords: preventing STIs, curbing HIV prevalence, infertility rates, pelvic inflammatory diseases, reproductive health.
Importance of Preventing Sexually Transmitted Diseases
An astounding 376 million sexually transmitted (STI) curable infections emerge annually across the globe. Sexual transmission accounts for more than 80% of all new HIV diagnoses (WHO, 2019). The immense strain of STI morbidity and death has a significant effect on the quality of life, sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and infant health, and as co-components for the transmission of HIV subsequently (Mayaud & McCormick, 2001). The risk of acquiring or transmitting HIV is significantly increased by sexually transmissible diseases like syphilis, chancroid ulcer, and genital herpes simplex virus ulcer. In some instances, they represent over 40% or more HIV transmissions (WHO, 2019).
In the evolution of sexually transmitted infection (STI) management, as with other infectious diseases, the pendulum moves around vertical disease-specific and broader horizontal interventions, from a focused emphasis on conditions and their care to people's more extensive interests that harbor and spread them. STI prevention efforts have been more and more established with respect to the goals of HIV programs since the introduction of HIV in the 1980s. While HIV itself is an STI, attempts to deter its transmission are primarily controlled by funding, execution, and evaluation programs, regardless of other STI management efforts.
Such a broken model has a harmful effect. Too frequently, the overlooked STI programs - the basis on which attempts were made to avoid HIV - fail when funding is limited. As a result, STI hospitals and programs are under-personalized, overlooked, or entirely lost (Steen et al., 2009). HIV testing may be provided for pregnant mothers, but STIs such as syphilis are no longer being thoroughly checked. Furthermore, STI reporting, a vital indicator for sexually transmitted infection inclinations, has withered away. This paper seeks to evaluate the need for putting more emphasis on the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.

This summary provides an overview of an epidemiology paper on respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infections in children. The paper discusses the epidemiological triangle as it relates to RSV, describing the agent (RSV virus), host (infants and young children), and environment (fall, winter, early spring seasons). It also covers the types of epidemiology (descriptive and analytic) and levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary) for RSV infections.
Estimates of four sexually transmitted infections, 2016
There are more than 1 million new cases of curable STIs every day, according to new WHO data. Across four diseases — chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomoniasis, and syphilis — this translates to nearly 380 million cases globally every year. Researchers looked through studies between 2009 and 2016 to estimate the prevalence of these STIs in those aged 15-49 and found that of these four diseases, trichomoniasis was most common in women while chlamydia was most common in men. Trichomoniasis also accounted for the majority of the STIs worldwide, followed by chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. And compared to 2012 estimates, rates of trichomoniasis in women have increased, while chlamydia incidence has decreased. The prevalence of gonorrhea has increased in men, while the other three diseases have remained stable.

Sexually transmitted diseases in the elderly in South Florida
Florida is attractive for retired Americans, and their population continues to grow. In primary care, sexual health is often overlooked in elderly patients, since they rarely open the topic themselves, and physicians often assume their patients are no longer sexually active. Drugs for erectile dysfunction, as well as attractions of life on the beach, create opportunities that may no longer be out of reach. Mature adults do indeed have girlfriends and friends with benefits, along with their regular partners and spouses.
The number of reported STDs in older adults has been steadily increasing since 2000. The most frequently reported infections are chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV. The population of adults over 50 years of age now reached 99 million (32%) and should not be ignored in regards to screening for STDs and related research. Clinical trials rarely study the sexual behavior of people over 50 or even 65 years of age. In the age group between 57 and 85 years of age, nearly 75% were still sexually active at 64, 53% at 74, and 25% at 85 years of age. The sexual life of mature adults is often neglected during preventative screenings. This omission may lead to late diagnosis of HIV or undetected relapse of STDs contracted earlier in life. AIDS-related dementia or neurosyphilis can be easily misdiagnosed as Alzheimer’s disease. Failure to detect STDs in mature adults can result in unnecessary early death and unmitigated exposure of relatives to the disease (Purpora & Claire, 2012).
Many STDs are notifiable diseases that require regular screening of patients who are sexually active or engage in potentially risky sexual behavior. Clinicians need to keep track of relevant federal and state legislation and comply with the reporting requirements as applicable.
Hiv and diabetes
It is very important to pay attention to the double burden of the communicable and noncommunicable diseases in the Low and Middle Income Countries (LMIC). In this presentation we discuss the association between HIV and its treatment and Diabetes mellitus.
Final Proposal
The document discusses a proposed sexual health education program called SHECAW for college-aged women between 18-22 years old. Chlamydia trachomatis is a common sexually transmitted disease that disproportionately affects this demographic. If left untreated, it can cause reproductive health issues and infertility. The goals of SHECAW are to reduce new C. trachomatis cases through education, ensure participants understand transmission risks, and provide a supportive network. The program will address screening, prevention, and treatment of this preventable disease.

Hlst 3001 research paper controversies
This talks about 3 ethical controversies. It talks about Dax Cowart, Dr. Kevorkian, and Terri Schiavo
ethical controversy
Scientists have created a pill that can erase unwanted memories. Dutch researchers claim to have erased terrible memories using a beta blocker drug in experiments on humans. The drug interrupts the brain's memory formation and storage of frightening events. In one experiment, volunteers who were shown frightening images and given a shock were later calmer when shown the images again if they had received the beta blocker compared to a placebo. However, some experts argue that erasing memories could damage human identity and psychology since memories shape who we are. There are also concerns about ensuring the right memories are erased and whether effects of the drug would be permanent.
Net Neutrality
This document is a research paper on the importance of net neutrality. It discusses the history of the internet from its conception in the 1960s to its growth throughout the decades. It then explains what net neutrality is and why it is important for ensuring equal access and non-discrimination of websites. Without net neutrality, internet providers could block or degrade certain websites unless users pay more. The paper also addresses arguments against net neutrality and concludes by emphasizing the importance of maintaining the policy.
Computers in pharmacy
Centralized computer systems are increasingly used in pharmacies. They allow for complete patient medication profiles to be stored digitally, alerting to allergies and drug interactions. Computerized physician order entry systems reduce prescription errors but can still result in dosing mistakes. Robots are used in hospital pharmacies to automate filling prescriptions and verifying labels. Telepharmacy permits remote filling and consultation through computer networks. Centralized systems make information widely available for research while protecting patient privacy. Overall, information technology is transforming pharmacy work through automation and expanded access to care.
Oak Island Mystery
A boy named Daniel McGinnis discovered a mysterious site on Oak Island that sparked interest from others trying to decipher codes and solve its secrets. Various attempts to excavate and explore the island led to tragedies and no clear answers about what is hidden there. Theories range from buried pirate treasure to the resting place of a Viking warlord, but the island continues to keep its secrets hidden despite ongoing searches for clues.
pharmaceutical industry
The document discusses the past, present, and future of the pharmaceutical industry. It describes the role of pharmacists in curing diseases, eliminating symptoms, and preventing illness. Key events of the past include the Human Genome Project, FDA regulations, and computer-assisted drug trials. Currently, virtual drug testing and new strategies are needed as industry challenges grow. The future may involve reducing drug errors through IT, addressing regulatory issues with telepharmacy, and developing new treatments and disease management programs. Strengths include computerized pharmacies and the use of information technology in healthcare.

Final draft sr. proj. paper
This document discusses Ashley Toups' senior project on media productions. Toups has loved making videos since childhood and wants to create one last video for her senior project. She discusses the history of video equipment from heavy, separate cameras and VCRs to today's lightweight, integrated camcorders. Toups also covers preproduction, production, postproduction stages; tools for video creation like cameras, software, lighting; and types of videos like informational, educational, and entertaining. She concludes that videos are an effective way to present information compared to posters and she looks forward to applying her research knowledge to her Pineville High School video.
The growth of the health care system
The healthcare system in the United States has gone through five phases of development. Phase I from 1850-1900 saw the establishment of large hospitals in cities but no organized healthcare. Phase II from 1900-WWII introduced scientific methods and government assistance for those unable to pay. Phase III from WWII-1980 sparked interest in social and organizational structure and growth of hospitals, insurance, and technology. Phase IV from 1980-present saw economic influences, rising costs, and more government involvement. A potential Phase V may focus on universal healthcare access and alternative medicine using new technologies. The system is also divided according to subgroups like private insurance for the middle class and government aid for the poor and military.
What language means to me
The document discusses the author's understanding of language and speech. The author believes that language is a shared code used to communicate ideas verbally or nonverbally, while speech refers specifically to anything spoken. Language is always communicative, but speech is not always so. For example, a dog barking is just speaking and not using language. The author also notes that language can be expressed verbally through speech or nonverbally through sign language, while speech is always verbal. A speech-language pathologist helps patients with both their speech and language abilities, as both are needed for proper communication.

Diseases Threatening Public Health
- 1. DISEASES THREATENING PUBLIC HEALTH 1 Diseases Threatening Public Health and How Information Technology is Being Used to Prevent the Spread of the Disease Ashley Toups University of Louisiana at Monroe 24 February 2014
- 2. DISEASES THREATENING PUBLIC HEALTH 2 There are many diseases that threaten public health. This paper will explain three of the many diseases and how information technology is being used to prevent the spread of these diseases. The diseases that will be discussed are avian influenza, gonorrhea, and chlamydia. Avian influenza, also known as bird flu, infects birds such as domestic poultry and even other animal species. The avian flu can also infect humans but it does not occur very often (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). There has yet to be a case of the avian flu found in the United States. The avian flu is currently circulating in Asia, Europe, and Africa (Department of Health, 2011). The avian flu can cause fever, respiratory failure, multi-organ failure, and even death. Although the United States has not had a case of the avian flu yet, the United States government is still prepared by stocking HPAI H5N1 vaccines. Also, oseltamivir is an antiviral drug that is used for treatment of the avian flu (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Anyone who is sexually active is susceptible to gonorrhea. Gonorrhea can cause serious health problems in males and females, but it can be treated with the right medication. If a man has gonorrhea some symptoms he may experience are a burning sensation when urinating, a white, yellow, or green discharge from the penis, or painful or swollen testicles. If a woman has gonorrhea some symptoms she may experience are a painful or burning sensation when urinating, increased vaginal discharge, or vaginal bleeding between periods. Some rectal infection in both men and women include discharge, anal itching, soreness, bleeding, and painful bowel movements. Sometimes one may not have symptoms but still has gonorrhea. The following can happen if gonorrhea goes untreated: formation of scar tissue that blocks fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancy, infertility, long-term pelvic/abdominal pain (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Wise decisions, a wise relationship, no sex or safe sex use such
- 3. DISEASES THREATENING PUBLIC HEALTH 3 as condoms can help prevent the spread of gonorrhea. Antibiotics and/or antibiotic injections or shots are used in the treatment of gonorrhea (The New York Times Health Guide, 2014). Chlamydia is the most common STD that can infect males and females in the United States. Chlamydia often has no symptoms. Women with chlamydia may find it difficult to get pregnant if the chlamydia is left untreated. Women with chlamydia may experience symptoms such as an abnormal vaginal discharge and a burning sensation when urinating. Symptoms of chlamydia that men might experience are a discharge from their penis, a burning sensation when urinating, and pain and swelling in one or both testicles. Rectal symptoms in both men and women may include rectal pain, discharge, and bleeding. Chlamydia is also similar to gonorrhea in prevention of the spread and treatment (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2012). Antibiotics are used in the treatment of chlamydia. The most common antibiotics used are doxycycline or azrithromycin (Department of Health, 2006). Resources: Avian Influenza Current Situation. (2014, February 27).
