Topic There is an outbreak of swine flu in Australia. As a health.docxedwardmarivel
Topic: There is an outbreak of swine flu in Australia. As a health professional, you decide to create an emergency box at home with things that might help protect you and your family. Choose six objects to put in the box providing suitable evidence of why they would be effective. You might for example, choose one or more medications.
The swine flu is a type of influenza that is normally spread from infected person to non-infected person. The major symptoms of swine flu are fever, dehydration, and upper respiratory symptoms. There are two main modes of transmission of swine flu: (1) one is through the airborne route which people breathe in infected droplets that swine patients have expelled through sneezing or coughing. (2) It is also spread by direct contact with the swine flu patient’s mucus (Webber 2009, p. 147-148). Unfortunately, there is an outbreak of swine flu in Australia. Therefore, I follow the main symptoms and transmission pathways to make an emergency box at home. Preventing spread of infectious disease is everyone’s duty. Preventive measures are implemented to reduce the risk of the swine flu infection and swine flu transmission at home. If one of family members suffers from swine flu, I would separate the infected member and his close contact from us. Thus, this essay will discuss what the pandemic is and which the six objects are included P2 (N95) mask, alcohol-based hand rub, chemical disinfectants, medical thermometer, vitamin D pills, and air purifier in the emergency box which would help to protect my family and me against the swine flu effectively.
PART A: Objects chosen
In 2009, the serious global outbreak of H1N1 Swine flu caused the pandemic infection. The pandemic is an outbreak of a disease spreading quickly among many people across a large area or worldwide. The pandemic diseases normally transmit efficiently among people. Therefore, the rate of morbidity and mortality rate are higher than the expectation normally (Ryan 2009, p. 6). Besides, the pandemic diseases not only disrupt social activities around the world but also affect economic activities.The higher hospitalization rate and the improvement of health care services for the pandemic diseases raise cost to economy for government(Nguyen-Van-Tama &Hampsonb 2003, p. 1766).The pandemics end when most of the population have been exposed to disease or the people have been developed a subclinical infection that rendered the immune system to the disease (Ryan 2009, p. 6). Thus, I would put the P2 (N95) mask, alcohol-based hand rub,chemical disinfectants, medical thermometer, vitamin D pills, and air purifier into the emergency box to protect my family under the outbreak of swine flu in Australia.
Firstly, the P2 (N95) masks provide protection against swine flu.It not only keeps the wearer from pathogen through the airborne route but also protects the wearer from contacting with contamination of body fluids like nasal or oral secretion(Department of Health and Age ...

Here is the chapter to do.
Disorders of the ear, nose and throat - such as hay fever, the common cold, hoarseness, and hearing loss - are troublesome afflictions that affect nearly everyone at one time or another. While not life threatening, such problems can cause considerable distress and discomfort. Fortunately, there is much that you can do yourself to prevent or alleviate them.
Picture this:
You are sitting in class. Your nose is running, throat sore and scratchy, muscles achy...when your professor calls on you to answer a question, all you can say is "Achoo!!!"
If several of these symptoms describe you, chances are you probably have a common cold. The GOOD news is that the common cold is "self-limiting." It will last from four to ten days then clear up. The BAD news is that colds are caused by
viruses
. Around 200 viruses, all similar in their effects, are known to cause colds. There is no medication that will cure the cold virus. In most cases, you just have to be patient and let the virus run its course. Fortunately there are things you can do to relieve some of the symptoms.
Before you begin self care for your cold, remember these important things:
Pay attention to your specific symptoms. You may have a
bacterial
infection and should see a health care provider if your cold lasts longer than ten days or you develop any of the following:
fever of 100 or higher lasting over 24 hours
sore throat lasting longer than three days
pain in ears or sinuses
white spots on or near tonsils
deep cough, producing mucus that is anything other than clear
Antibiotics are used to fight bacterial infection and should be used only as prescribed. NEVER take left over antibiotics or those which were prescribed for someone else.
Antibiotics have no effect against the virus that causes colds.
Colds are spread through secretion droplets, therefore it's best to use tissues, not your hands for covering a sneeze. Wash your hands frequently and keep your hands away from your nose!
What about medications?
There are many types of.
The new virus has made the jump from pigs to humans and has demonstrated it can also pass from human to human. This is why it is demanding so much attention from health authorities. The virus passes from human to human like other types of flu, either through coughing, sneezing, or by touching infected surfaces, although little is known about how the virus acts on humans.
I m Going to present this power presentation on Severe Acute respiratory Syndrome (SARS) Which help to know about the disease and help the peoples for awareness.
For more presentation you can like and comment.
The world has somewhat come to a standstill at this moment due to the COVID-19 virus; everyone is affected but probably the most affected are all types of travelers such as globetrotters, adventure travelers, frequent flyers, holidaymakers, pilgrims, etc.

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).
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.

Primary taste sensations: Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter, Umami
Chemical basis and signal transduction mechanisms for each taste
Taste Threshold and Index:
Taste threshold values for Sweet (sucrose), Salty (NaCl), Sour (HCl), and Bitter (Quinine)
Taste index relationship: Inversely proportional to taste threshold
Taste Blindness:
Inability to taste certain substances, particularly thiourea compounds
Example: Phenylthiocarbamide
Structure and Function of Taste Buds:
Composition: Epithelial cells, Sustentacular/Supporting cells, Taste cells, Basal cells
Features: Taste pores, Taste hairs/microvilli, and Taste nerve fibers
Location of Taste Buds:
Found in papillae of the tongue (Fungiform, Circumvallate, Foliate)
Also present on the palate, tonsillar pillars, epiglottis, and proximal esophagus
Mechanism of Taste Stimulation:
Interaction of taste substances with receptors on microvilli
Signal transduction pathways for Umami, Sweet, Bitter, Sour, and Salty tastes
Taste Sensitivity and Adaptation:
Decrease in sensitivity with age
Rapid adaptation of taste sensation
Role of Saliva in Taste:
Dissolution of tastants to reach receptors
Washing away the stimulus
Taste Preferences and Aversions:
Mechanisms behind taste preference and aversion
Influence of receptors and neural pathways
Impact of Sensory Nerve Damage:
Degeneration of taste buds if the sensory nerve fiber is cut
Abnormalities of Taste Detection:
Conditions: Ageusia, Hypogeusia, Dysgeusia (parageusia)
Causes: Nerve damage, neurological disorders, infections, poor oral hygiene, adverse drug effects, deficiencies, aging, tobacco use, altered neurotransmitter levels
Neurotransmitters and Taste Threshold:
Effects of serotonin (5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) on taste sensitivity
