Ebola was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Since then, there have been several outbreaks in Africa, including in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 1976, Sudan in 1976, the Democratic Republic of the Congo again in 1995, Uganda in 2000-2001, and the Republic of Congo in 2002-2003. The largest outbreak on record began in late 2013 in West Africa, affecting Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone with over 28,000 cases and over 11,000 deaths reported. Cases of Ebola were also reported outside of Africa for the first time, in Spain and the United States.

Malaria by divya srivastava
Malaria is caused by several types of parasites that infect the liver and blood. It is transmitted via mosquito bites and affects red blood cells. Falciparum malaria accounts for the vast majority of cases and deaths, primarily in Africa and South America, while ovale malaria has the longest incubation period of up to four years and is found in West Africa. Despite being treatable, malaria remains one of the oldest and deadliest diseases, killing over a million people annually.

Question 6 Media Evaluation
The document discusses various technologies used in the process of creating a film project. Blogger was used to collaboratively share research and ideas. Celtx software allowed the writer to format screenplays professionally. A Sony HD 1000 camera and tripod were used to film footage, although the tripod was limiting at times. Final Cut Express was used to edit the film, adding transitions and sound, and allowing revisions. Sound effects were found online as Garage Band proved difficult. Google Forms created an accessible audience questionnaire. Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube helped share and get feedback on the completed film.
Media question 1 evaluation
This document analyzes the filmmaking techniques used in the short psychological horror film "Vodka and Coke" to create tension and fright in the audience. It establishes the plot through a dream sequence at the beginning and discusses using flashbacks to reveal the character's backstory. Cinematography techniques like close-ups, panning shots, and point-of-view shots build paranoia. Changes in lighting and sound effects startle the audience. The locations, costumes, and props contribute to the film's realism while still including paranormal elements common to the psychological thriller genre.

Question 2 Media
The document discusses how ancillary texts like film posters and radio trailers are important for advertising films and appealing to wider audiences. It then describes a film poster and radio trailer created by the author's group to promote their psychological thriller film "Lost Possession" targeting young adults. The film poster features the cast names, a mysterious slogan, and reviews to attract interest without revealing too much of the plot. The radio trailer uses short clips and a male voiceover to convey the thriller genre and rating in an engaging way that leaves the audience wanting more. In conclusion, the author believes their ancillary texts will effectively advertise the film while maintaining an air of mystery.
10 Myths: Using Microbial Products for Wastewater Treatment
Microbial products are genetically-engineered and pose a threat. Microbial cultures for bioaugmentation are natural forms selected from nature and then grown in quantity. No “genetic engineering” is involved. Genetically engineered microbes require special permitting and containment, and therefore have never been used in commercial products applied to full-scale systems.

Vital signs
Vital signs are measurements that indicate life, including heart rate, breathing rate, temperature, and blood pressure. They can be observed and monitored to assess a person's health status. Normal vital signs can vary by age, sex, weight, exercise, and other factors. Temperature is usually measured orally and normal temperature ranges are 98.6°F (37°C) orally and slightly higher in other areas. Blood pressure has a normal range of 120/80 and is measured using a sphygmomanometer and cuff on the upper arm. Respiration rate is counted by observing rises and falls of the chest and has a normal range between 12-20 breaths per minute.

Ebola virus disease
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has killed over 1,000 people and experimental treatments are being considered. While Ebola virus disease has a high fatality rate, the current outbreak's magnitude may be underestimated. Countries have taken extreme precautions like cordoning off infected areas, but health officials say such measures must proceed humanely. No approved vaccine or treatment exists, so controlling transmission through safe burials and protective equipment is critical.

Ebola virus disease (2)
The document provides information about Ebola virus disease (EVD), including its history, current outbreak, transmission, clinical presentation, diagnosis, management, and efforts to contain it. It discusses how EVD was first identified in 1976 and is caused by the Ebola virus. The current outbreak in West Africa is the largest to date. The virus is transmitted through contact with body fluids and symptoms include bleeding from openings and organs. There is no proven vaccine or treatment, so care is supportive.
Ebola virus disease (EVD)
This document provides information about Ebola virus disease (EVD) including its transmission, symptoms, prevention, and the 2014 West Africa outbreak. It details how a Liberian diplomat, Patrick Sawyer, unknowingly spread the disease to Nigeria by traveling there while infected and in denial about his infection. Sawyer came into contact with 59 people in Nigeria and exhibited disruptive behavior at hospitals in both Nigeria and Liberia before succumbing to the disease, highlighting the risks of disregarding medical advice during an outbreak. The document outlines key facts about EVD transmission, symptoms, treatment and prevention measures to raise awareness about the disease.
Ebola virus disease
The document provides an overview of Ebola virus disease (EVD), including its origins, transmission, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment and recovery. Some key points:
- EVD first appeared in 1976 in simultaneous outbreaks in Sudan and Democratic Republic of Congo. The current 2014 outbreak in West Africa is the largest on record.
- The virus is transmitted through direct contact with body fluids of infected humans or animals. Early symptoms are nonspecific but progress to hemorrhagic fever, vomiting, diarrhea and organ failure.
- Diagnosis involves detecting the virus or antibodies in blood, with RT-PCR being the most sensitive test. There is no approved vaccine or treatment, so care is largely supportive
Ebola virus disease
In the absence of effective treatment and a human vaccine, raising awareness of the risk factors for Ebola infection and the protective measures individuals can take is the only way to reduce human infection and death.

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.
