Streptococcus Pneumonia, Pneumonia,Meningitis,Sepsis,Otitis media,Treatment o...
Streptococcus pneumoniae, or pneumococcus, is a bacterium that can cause several infectious diseases including pneumonia, meningitis, and sepsis. An outbreak of pneumococcal pneumonia occurred in 2011 at a pediatric psychiatric unit in Rhode Island. Pneumonia is an infection of the lungs that has symptoms like cough, fever, and chest pain. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Prevention methods include vaccination against Streptococcus pneumoniae with pneumococcal vaccines.
Corona presentation
This document summarizes information about the COVID-19 coronavirus. It describes how the virus enters the body through the nose, mouth or eyes and attaches to cells in the airways. It then releases its RNA and hijacks the cell's machinery to produce more viral proteins and copies of itself before spreading to other cells. Most infections cause mild to moderate respiratory illness with fever, but some can lead to pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome. While there is no specific treatment, symptoms can be treated depending on a patient's condition. The virus spreads mainly through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Meningitis
Meningitis is an inflammation of the membranes (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It can be caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Bacterial meningitis is the most dangerous form and can cause death within hours if not treated promptly with antibiotics. Symptoms include sudden onset of fever, headache and stiff neck. Those at highest risk include adolescents, young adults living in dorms, infants, and people with certain medical conditions. While the disease is contagious through respiratory and mouth secretions, vaccination provides protection against some common types. Proper hygiene and promptly treating infections can also help prevent meningitis.
Biology activity for group 4
The document discusses airborne diseases, which are caused by pathogenic microbes transmitted through the air via coughing, sneezing, or close contact. Common airborne infections mentioned include anthrax, chickenpox, influenza, measles, smallpox, and tuberculosis. Prevention involves avoiding sick individuals and practicing good hygiene. Chickenpox specifically is caused by the varicella zoster virus and causes a vesicular rash mainly on the body and head.
Review on Corona Virus
Coronaviruses can cause illness in humans ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases like MERS and SARS. COVID-19 is the most recently discovered coronavirus that causes respiratory symptoms such as fever, cough and tiredness in most people. While most cases are mild, around 20% of cases develop serious breathing difficulties and are at higher risk of severe illness. Herbal treatments may help prevent and treat COVID-19 by strengthening immunity, using as antiviral coatings, disinfecting air, and sanitizing surfaces.
Influenza
Influenza is a serious public health problem that spreads easily and causes annual epidemics worldwide. There are three main types of influenza viruses - A, B, and C. Influenza A and B are included in seasonal flu vaccines. Signs of influenza include fever, cough, sore throat and body aches. High risk groups include young children, elderly adults, and those with underlying health conditions. Influenza spreads through respiratory droplets when infected people cough or sneeze. Vaccination is the most effective prevention method. Avian influenza primarily affects birds and can be mild or highly lethal depending on the strain. Some avian influenza viruses can infect humans but do not usually spread between people.
1801 invasive-meningococcal-men-y-disease
This document summarizes a study on invasive meningococcal disease caused by serogroup Y (Men Y) in England and Wales from 2007-2009. The study found that while the overall number of meningococcal disease cases slightly decreased during this period, the proportion caused by Men Y doubled. Specifically, significant increases were seen in age groups 15-19, 45-64, and 65+. The case fatality ratio was higher in patients with underlying diseases or meningococcal pneumonia. Four major Men Y clones were identified, with one increasing the most and being similar to a strain causing a third of US cases. Vaccines exist but meningococcal disease remains a rare but potentially devastating illness.

The document describes the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic that began in December 2019 in Wuhan, China. It provides details about the virus's appearance under a microscope and its effects on different people. Some experience mild or no symptoms while others experience severe symptoms that can lead to death. Common symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, tiredness, sore throat, diarrhea and runny nose. The virus spreads easily through respiratory droplets when infected people cough or sneeze. Within 14 days of exposure, people may develop symptoms but also spread the virus to others before realizing they are infected. This is why governments implemented lockdowns and social distancing to slow the spread.
121 Week 3 Chapter 4 Infectious Disease
This document differentiates between infectious and communicable diseases, identifies methods of disease transmission, recognizes immunosuppressive syndromes, and differentiates between influenza and the common cold. Key points include: infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms growing in a host, communicable diseases can be transmitted between people; transmission can occur via blood, oral/fecal matter, or skin/mucous membranes; immunosuppressive syndromes result from the immune system attacking self cells; examples include HIV/AIDS and lupus; and influenza is generally more serious than the common cold with symptoms beyond the neck.
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).

Corona by ambreen
Coronaviruses are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases. They get their name from their crown-like shape and were first identified in the 1960s. Most coronaviruses spread through infected people coughing and sneezing or by touching infected surfaces. Symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath and can range from mild to serious, potentially leading to pneumonia or respiratory failure. While most coronaviruses are not dangerous, a new coronavirus strain emerged in 2019 that caused a global pandemic.

4.1 INFECTIOUS AND NON-INFECTIOUS DISEASES
This document discusses infectious and non-infectious diseases. Infectious diseases can be transmitted between people and are caused by pathogens, while non-infectious diseases cannot be transmitted and are caused by genetic or lifestyle factors. Infectious diseases spread through various means such as air, water, contact, and vectors like mosquitoes and flies. Preventive measures are outlined for different types of transmission, including using masks, boiling water, and controlling vector populations. The mechanism to prevent infectious disease spread involves primary, secondary and tertiary stages focusing on host protection, transmission determination, and vector control.

Covid 19 Awareness
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is caused by a newly discovered coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. It was first reported in Wuhan City, China in December 2019. The virus is thought to have originated from an animal source and jumped to humans in late 2019. COVID-19 spreads mainly through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs or sneezes. Most people experience only mild to moderate symptoms, but the elderly and those with pre-existing conditions are more likely to have severe illness. Proper hand hygiene and social distancing are recommended to prevent transmission of the virus.
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), also known as sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), are infections that are transmitted from one person to another through sexual contact. STIs can be caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites. Common STIs include gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, genital herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV), chancroid, and pubic lice. STIs are treated with antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or other medications depending on the specific infection. It is important to complete all treatment and abstain from sex until fully healed to avoid spreading the infection.
Air borne diseases
1) Airborne diseases are spread through the air by viruses, bacteria, or fungi transmitted through respiratory droplets when people cough, sneeze, or talk.
2) Common symptoms of airborne diseases include cough, fever, and breathing difficulties.
3) Prevention methods include proper hand hygiene, wearing masks, cleaning surfaces, and covering coughs and sneezes to limit the transmission of pathogens through the air.

Coccidioidomycosis
Coccidioidomycosis, also known as valley fever, is a fungal infection caused by inhaling spores of the Coccidioides fungus. It is most common in the dry, dusty regions of the southwestern United States. Rates of the disease are highest in Arizona and California, especially in the hot summer and fall months when dust storms can spread the spores. While most cases are mild, it can develop into more serious chronic or disseminated forms if not treated. Those at highest risk include the elderly, pregnant women, diabetics, and people with weakened immune systems. There is no vaccine, but antifungal medications can be used to treat cases and prevent more serious outcomes.

Coccidioidomycosis, also known as Valley Fever, is a fungal infection caused by inhaling spores of the Coccidioides fungus. It was originally discovered in 1892 in Argentina in a patient who had a fungal-like mass on his cheek. While the causative agents were later determined to be the fungi Coccidioides immitis and Coccidioides posadasii, it took several decades of research to understand that it is a fungal infection. Valley Fever is found primarily in the southwestern United States, Mexico, and parts of Central and South America. Prevention efforts focus on limiting exposure to the fungal spores found in soil in endemic regions
Valley fever is the initial form of coccidioidomycosis infection. Th.pdf
Valley fever is the initial form of coccidioidomycosis infection. This initial, acute illness can
develop into a more serious disease, including chronic and disseminated coccidioidomycosis.
Microrganism is Coccidioides immitis
Acute coccidioidomycosis (valley fever)
The initial, or acute, form of coccidioidomycosis is often mild, with few, if any, symptoms.
When signs and symptoms do occur, they appear one to three weeks after exposure. They tend to
resemble those of the flu, and can range from minor to severe, including:
The rash that sometimes accompanies valley fever is made up of painful red bumps that may
later turn brown. The rash mainly appears on your lower legs, but sometimes on your chest, arms
and back. Others may have a raised red rash with blisters or eruptions that look like pimples.
If you don\'t become ill from valley fever, you may only find out you\'ve been infected when you
later have a positive skin or blood test or when small areas of residual infection (nodules) in the
lungs show up on a routine chest X-ray. Although the nodules typically don\'t cause problems,
they can look like cancer on X-rays.
If you do develop symptoms, especially severe ones, the course of the disease is highly variable.
It can take months to fully recover, and fatigue and joint aches can last even longer. The severity
of the disease depends on several factors, including your overall health and the number of fungus
spores you inhale.
Chronic coccidioidomycosis
If the initial coccidioidomycosis infection doesn\'t completely resolve, it may progress to a
chronic form of pneumonia. This complication is most common in people with weakened
immune systems.
Signs and symptoms include:
Disseminated coccidioidomycosis
The most serious form of the disease, disseminated coccidioidomycosis, occurs when the
infection spreads (disseminates) beyond the lungs to other parts of the body. Most often these
parts include the skin, bones, liver, brain, heart, and the membranes that protect the brain and
spinal cord (meninges).
The signs and symptoms of disseminated disease depend on which parts of your body are
affected and may include:

What is mucormycosis or Black fungus
Mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, is a rare but dangerous fungal infection caused by exposure to mucormycete molds through the air, skin, or environment. It affects the sinuses, lungs, and brain. Cases have risen in India among COVID-19 patients with diabetes or those taking steroids. The infection spreads quickly and can cause further conditions like brain infection if untreated. Treatment involves antifungal medication and surgical removal of infected tissue.
Systemic mycoses m
The document discusses two systemic mycoses - Coccidioides and Paracoccidioides. Both are dimorphic fungi that exist as molds in soil and yeasts in tissue. They are inhaled through spores and can cause asymptomatic pulmonary infection or disseminated disease. Coccidioides is endemic to parts of the Americas while Paracoccidioides is found in parts of Latin America. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, and serology of tissues or body fluids. Treatment involves antifungal drugs like amphotericin B and itraconazole.
SYSTEMIC MYCOSIS .pptx
Systemic mycoses are fungal infections that spread from the initial infection site via the bloodstream to multiple internal organs. They most commonly enter the body through the lungs, gut, or skin and can affect immunocompromised or otherwise healthy patients. Common symptoms include fever, cough, and loss of appetite. Diagnosis involves tissue biopsy and culture, while treatment requires prolonged courses of antifungal medications. Despite therapy, systemic mycoses often have poor outcomes.
Systemic_MycosesM
Systemic mycoses can result from inhalation of fungal spores that then differentiate into yeast or other forms in the lungs. This document focuses on four specific systemic mycoses: Coccidioides, Histoplasma, Blastomyces, and Paracoccidioides. Coccidioides causes valley fever through inhalation of spores in dry soil in the southwestern US and Central/South America. Paracoccidioides causes a similar disease through inhalation in parts of Central/South America. Both fungi exist as molds in soil and yeasts in tissues. Symptoms range from asymptomatic to disseminated disease. Diagnosis involves microscopy, culture, and ser

COVID-19 is a new coronavirus that was first identified in Wuhan, China in late 2019 and has caused a worldwide pandemic. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and can survive on surfaces for several days. Common symptoms include fever, cough and shortness of breath. While most people experience mild symptoms, the virus can be fatal, especially in older individuals or those with underlying health conditions. There is currently no vaccine, though researchers are working to develop one within the next 12-18 months. In the meantime, measures like social distancing, frequent hand washing and avoiding touching the face are recommended to prevent the spread of the virus.
Novel Coronavirus COVID-19
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a new illness caused by a virus called SARS-CoV-2. The virus spreads mainly from person to person through respiratory droplets when someone coughs or sneezes. Common symptoms include fever, dry cough, and tiredness. While most people recover, some develop serious illness including difficulty breathing. There is no vaccine yet. Treatment focuses on supportive care. People are advised to stay home and practice social distancing to help stop the spread of the virus.
The Black Fungus is One of the Bad Consequences of COVID 19
Recently, since the emergence of the Covid 19 pandemic, the whole world has been waiting for what comes after Corona and when that pandemic will disappear and how to get rid of it. Therefore, all countries, whether Arab or foreign, sought to empty scientific research to produce a vaccine to treat this pandemic. These circumstances have inflicted material and human losses for all countries. In an attempt to combat Covid 19 after the vaccine was manufactured, however, the winds are coming in what ships do not desire, so there is a new outbreak, namely the black fungus.

It then describes the etiologic agent of blastomycosis, Blastomyces dermatitidis, and its epidemiology, pathogenesis, and ability to cause pulmonary, cutaneous, or disseminated disease. The clinical manifestations, diagnosis via culture, histopathology, and other methods, and treatment of itraconazole or amphotericin B are summarized. Prevention focuses on avoiding contact with contaminated soil or objects in endemic areas.
The Black Fungus is One of the Bad Consequences of COVID 19
This document discusses the black fungus (mucormycosis) infection that has emerged as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic. It describes how steroid treatments for COVID-19 can weaken the immune system and allow mucormycosis to take hold, especially in diabetic or immunocompromised patients. The main types and symptoms of mucormycosis are outlined. Diagnosis involves microscopy and imaging exams, while treatment requires antifungal drugs and sometimes surgical removal of infected tissues to prevent spread. A relationship between COVID-19, diabetes, and the increased risk of contracting mucormycosis is presented.

What causes people to snore?
Millions of people snore when they sleep. Genetic factors could cause snoring, as well as one’s sleeping position or underlying health condition. According to sleep medicine specialist Lisa M. Cannon, M.D., the sound is caused by a heavy flow of air that blocks the breathing pathways. This can cause vibration in areas such as the soft palate, uvula, tongue, and others. The space in the airways diminishes as muscles in the neck and throat relax along with the rest of the body.
A practical guide to getting better sleep
Millions of people suffer from sleep disorders, with insomnia being the most common. To remain fit and healthy, it’s also important to develop the right sleeping habits.

Study: Obese patients more likely to survive from sepsis
Researchers from the University of Michigan found that obese patients had higher survival rates from sepsis than normal weight patients. A study of over 1,400 Medicare patients found heavier patients who got sepsis were more likely to survive. While many doctors believe obese patients will do worse with conditions like sepsis, this study found they actually have lower mortality and similar functional outcomes as normal weight patients. However, maintaining a normal weight still has many health benefits overall. Understanding how body weight impacts responses to critical illnesses can help improve care for sepsis and other conditions.
New study links cancer-related incidental pulmonary embolism to VTE
A recent article discussed the relationship between cancer and incidental pulmonary embolism (IPE). In the study, it was found that cancer patients who have this comorbid condition should ask their specialist for a long-term anticoagulant treatment. Analysts found that the risk of developing symptomatic recurrent venous thromboembolism (VTE) doubled among patients who did not receive an anticoagulant treatment
How To Deal With Sleepwalking
Sleepwalking, also known as somnambulism, affects around 1.5% of adults and 5% of children, where individuals engage in activities like walking or sitting while appearing awake but having no memory and occurring during slow-wave sleep. While usually harmless, there have been reports of dangerous behaviors resulting in injuries. There are no proven interventions to stop occurrences, but risks can be minimized through sufficient sleep, avoiding triggers, and creating a relaxing routine. Sleepwalking is often outgrown, but persistent cases should be checked by a sleep specialist.
Effects of smoking on exercise and physical fitness

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

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.Recently uploaded (20)

Lung cancer screening: What to expect
- 1. Valley fever: Recognizing the causes and symptoms of coccidioidomycosis Coccidioidomycosis or cocci is a fungal infection endemic in arid regions, such as the southwestern United States, northern Mexico, and parts of South and Central America. Causes Image Source: wikipedia.org Cocci is caused by the spores of two types of pathogenic fungus: coccidioides immitis and coccidioides posadasii which are found in the soil of dry areas. When it rains, or if the soil is disturbed, the spores are released into the air. When inhaled, the spores may enter the airways and reach the lungs, where the spores begin to multiply. The body reacts to the presence of the spores with inflammation. Individuals at higher risk of acquiring cocci include those who live in or travel to endemic areas, those who are exposed to soil dust (e.g., agricultural workers), older adults, and women in the early late stages of pregnancy. Symptoms Coccidioidomycosis can be classified into three types: acute, progressive, and disseminated.
- 2. Image Source: boungous.com About 60 percent of those with acute coccidioidomycosis do not present any symptoms. Symptomatic patients often experience influenza-like symptoms, such as: Cough Fever Fatigue Shortness of breath Muscle and joint pain Rashes These usually appear one to three weeks after infection. If the host is unable to fight off the infection, acute coccidioidomycosis may develop into the progressive form of the disease, which can cause scarring and volume loss in the lungs, and inflammation. Disseminated coccidioidomycosis, meanwhile, is the most severe form of the disease and can be fatal. It occurs in about one percent of all coccidioidomycosis cases and develops months or years after the initial exposure to the spores. In this stage, the infection has spread from the lungs to other parts of the body. The symptoms vary, depending on the area of infection. The complications of disseminated coccidioidomycosis include skin lesions, pneumonia, ruptured lung nodules, and meningitis.
