Taeniasis ppt
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on the health implications of Taeniasis in humans. Taeniasis is an intestinal infection caused by the adult tapeworm Taenia saginata or T. solium. It is found worldwide in rural areas with poor hygiene where pigs are allowed to roam and eat human feces, continuing the parasite's life cycle. Symptoms range from mild to severe abdominal issues. Health implications include anemia, appendicitis, and cysticercosis. Diagnosis involves examining stool samples for eggs. Treatment is via praziquantel or albendazole. Control relies on proper meat handling, sanitation, and banning swill feeding of pigs.
Trichuris trichiura
Trichuris trichiura, also known as the whipworm, inhabits the large intestine of humans. The female produces 2,000-10,000 eggs per day which are passed in feces. Eggs become infective in soil after 2-3 weeks. People are infected by ingesting infective eggs from contaminated food, water, or hands. Worms attach to the intestinal mucosa and can live up to 5 years. Heavy infections may cause symptoms like bloody mucus stool. Diagnosis is by finding eggs in stool samples through sedimentation or flotation techniques.
Salmonellosis
Salmonellosis is a common bacterial infection caused by Salmonella bacteria that typically lives in the intestines of animals and humans. Humans most frequently become infected by consuming contaminated water or food. The infection affects the intestinal tract but can become life-threatening if it spreads beyond the intestines.
Salmonella
Salmonellae are often pathogenic bacteria that cause enteritis, systemic infection, and enteric fever in humans and animals when acquired orally. They are classified based on their antigens and epidemiology, with over 2,500 serotypes identified. Common types that infect humans include Salmonella Typhi, Salmonella Typhimurium, and Salmonella Enteritidis. Infection usually results from consuming contaminated food or water. Symptoms range from mild gastroenteritis to life-threatening typhoid fever. Treatment involves rehydration and antibiotics when invasive infections occur.
Taeniasis
Human taeniasis is caused by three tapeworm species that infect humans after they ingest raw or undercooked beef or pork containing the infective cysticerci larvae. The tapeworms are Taenia saginata (beef tapeworm), T. solium (pork tapeworm), and T. asiatica (Asian tapeworm). Humans pass tapeworm eggs or segments in their feces, which can survive in the environment for days to months and infect cattle or pigs. Eating undercooked meat from these infected animals then causes human taeniasis. Symptoms are usually mild but can include abdominal pain. Diagnosis is made by microscopic examination of stool samples for eggs. Treatment is with pra
Food poisoning and salmonellosis
Salmonella food poisoning is caused by ingesting contaminated food or drink containing Salmonella bacteria. Common symptoms include sudden onset of vomiting, fever, headache, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps. Salmonella infection usually affects the gastrointestinal system, causing acute enteritis and colitis. While most cases resolve without treatment within a week, in severe cases the bacteria can spread from the intestines to the bloodstream, bones, or fluid surrounding the brain. Salmonella food poisoning is typically caused by contaminated meat, eggs, milk, or produce and can be prevented by properly handling and cooking foods.
Taeniasis
Taeniasis is caused by the tapeworms Taenia saginata and Taenia solium. T. saginata infects humans through undercooked beef, using cattle as an intermediate host. T. solium infects humans through undercooked pork or contaminated food/water, using pigs as intermediate hosts. Symptoms are usually mild or absent, but T. solium cysticercosis can cause seizures and neurological damage if the cysts form in the brain. Prevention involves thorough cooking of meat, proper sanitation, and health education. Treatment options include praziquantel, niclosamide, albendazole, and surgery to remove cysts.

Miranda y angela scoliosis
Scoliosis is a back problem that causes a curvature of the spine from side to side. About 3 out of every 100 people have some form of scoliosis, though for many it is minor. The most common type, called idiopathic scoliosis, has no known cause but may run in families. It typically affects children between 10-12 years old during periods of rapid growth. Treatment depends on the patient's age, amount of curvature, and type of scoliosis, and may include monitoring, bracing, or surgery.
Kidney stone
This document discusses kidney stones, including what they are, common symptoms, and natural remedies. Kidney stones form when crystals, such as calcium, harden in the kidneys or urinary tract. Symptoms can include pink, red, or brown urine, nausea, vomiting, and severe pain near the kidneys. Natural remedies include drinking lemon juice, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, herbal extracts like uva ursi and dandelion root, foods like kidney beans and pomegranate juice, magnesium, and staying hydrated.
Diabetes
There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce insulin and affects approximately 10% of diabetes cases. Type 2 diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond to insulin properly and accounts for around 90% of diabetes cases worldwide. Gestational diabetes develops in females during pregnancy and while most cases can be managed with diet and exercise, 10-20% may require medication to control blood glucose levels.
Oi illness
Osteogenesis imperfecta, also known as brittle bone disease, is a genetic disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily. It is caused by a defect in the genes responsible for producing collagen, which provides structure and strength to bones. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and include bone fractures, weak muscles, small stature, and bone deformities. While there is no cure, treatment focuses on pain management, surgery, and physical therapy.
Altheimer's disease
Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia that causes problems with memory. Symptoms develop slowly over time and include forgetting recently learned information, difficulties concentrating and performing everyday tasks, and problems with language. While symptoms vary between individuals, common signs include memory loss, problems solving problems, mood and personality changes, and confusion with time or place. Unfortunately, Alzheimer's currently has no cure as brain cell death from the disease cannot be halted or reversed.
Parkinson
Parkinson's disease is a progressive nervous system disorder that affects movement. It occurs when dopamine-producing neurons in the brain die or become impaired. Over time, this leads to motor symptoms like shaking, rigidity, and difficulty walking. While the cause is unknown, it likely involves both genetic and environmental factors. Common symptoms include tremors at rest, slow movements, and stiff muscles, but there is no single test to diagnose it.
Hepatitis c
Hepatitis C is caused by the HCV virus and is located in the liver. It has an incubation period of 7-8 weeks and is transmitted through contact with infected blood. Common symptoms include decreased appetite, muscle pain, nausea, diarrhea and fever. While there is no specific treatment, antiviral medication and liver surgery can be used.
Tetanus
Tetanus is caused by Clostridium tetani bacteria commonly found in soil. The bacteria enters the body through a wound and causes painful muscle contractions. Symptoms include fever, headache, and high blood pressure. Without early treatment, tetanus can be fatal. The vaccine is highly effective at preventing the disease.
Asthma
Asthma is a condition that affects a person's breathing by causing the airways to swell and narrow, making it harder to breathe. It runs in families and can be triggered by allergens, irritants, and infections. Symptoms include coughing, wheezing, tightness in the chest, and shortness of breath. More than 50% of childhood asthma is caused by allergies, especially cat allergies which account for 30% of triggers. Managing asthma involves avoiding triggers, keeping living spaces clean, and using medication or allergy treatments.
breast cancer
Breast cancer occurs when abnormal cells in the breast grow in an uncontrolled way and form tumors. It is most common in women but can occur in men and children as well. Certain factors like family history, age, diet, lifestyle and smoking can increase the risk of developing breast cancer. Common symptoms include a breast lump or changes in breast tissue that are noticed by self-examination. Treatment depends on how advanced the cancer is and may involve lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiotherapy or chemotherapy to remove and destroy cancerous cells. Regular self-examinations can help detect any changes early.

Celiac disease is caused by an immune reaction to eating gluten, which is found in wheat, rye, and barley. When people with celiac disease consume gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine. This can cause digestive system issues and other health problems. While symptoms vary between people, the only effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet. Celiac disease runs in families and occurs in about 1 in 133 people in the United States.
Epilepsy
Epilepsy is a condition characterized by seizures that occur when there is unusual electrical activity in the brain. Seizures happen when this electrical activity disrupts normal brain function, causing symptoms like strange feelings, rising sensations in the stomach, unusual smells or tastes, and needle-like sensations in the limbs. While epilepsy cannot be cured, it can be treated, though treatment is very expensive - the annual cost of epilepsy in the US is estimated to be over $15.5 billion. Epilepsy can develop at any age but is more common in young people and symptoms include effects that are difficult to describe as well as sensations beyond the normal five senses.
Malaria
The document discusses malaria, including that it is an infection caused by a parasite transmitted through mosquito bites, most commonly in Africa due to its hot and humid climate. It kills approximately 2 million people per year, most of them African, though 300-500 million people are infected annually. While preventable and treatable, there is currently no commercial vaccine for malaria.
Atrial septal defect sofia cris-patri
Atrial septal defect is a congenital heart defect where blood flows between the upper chambers of the heart, the atria, because of a hole in the interatrial septum. It is usually asymptomatic in children but can cause difficulties breathing, respiratory infections, palpitations, and shortness of breath with activity. While small defects may close on their own, larger defects require cardiac evaluation and treatment to prevent issues like strokes or lung illnesses.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a type of fat found in the body and obtained through diet. There are two types - LDL (bad) cholesterol which can clog arteries, and HDL (good) cholesterol which removes cholesterol from arteries. A high cholesterol level over many years increases the risks of heart attack and stroke by allowing cholesterol buildup in blood vessels. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle through diet, exercise, weight control and not smoking can help manage cholesterol levels.
Athopic dermatitis 2
Atopic dermatitis is a genetic disease that causes itchy, red, warm, and tender skin. It often appears before a baby's first birthday and affects the integumentary system. Around 90% of cases develop before age 5. While the exact causes are still being studied, it is not contagious. Symptoms in babies include dry, scaly patches on the skin. In children, a rash often begins in elbow and knee creases and other areas. Adults rarely get it, but it can appear on the neck, face, eyes, and cause very dry, scaly, itchy skin and infections. The main treatment is corticosteroid medicines, which are effective but have side
Epidermolysis bullosa
Epidermolysis bullosa is a group of genetic diseases that cause blistering of the skin and mucous membranes. It results in fragile skin that blisters easily from minor friction or trauma. Some internal injuries can also occur, causing esophageal closure that leads to weight loss from inability to digest food, though these issues mainly appear in recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. It has no cure and causes severe, chronic wounds that easily become infected and cause malnutrition and anemia.

John snow presentation
John Snow was a 19th century British physician who is considered one of the founders of modern epidemiology. In 1854, during a cholera outbreak in Soho, London, Snow traced the source of the outbreak to a contaminated public water pump. Upon removing the pump handle, the outbreak subsided. Snow demonstrated that contaminated water was the source of the cholera infection, revolutionizing the understanding of how diseases spread. His work established the field of epidemiology and reduced the spread of cholera and other waterborne diseases.
Desentery
Dysentery is a gastrointestinal disease characterized by abdominal pain and bloody diarrhea caused by bacteria, viruses or parasites. Common symptoms include abdominal cramps, bloody stool and fever. It is usually spread through contaminated food or water. Treatment involves antibiotics, rehydration and rest. Prevention focuses on proper handwashing and drinking purified water. Dysentery remains a major public health problem, especially in developing countries, where it claims many lives each year.
Presentation food borne pathogens and infections
Foodborne illnesses can be caused by viruses, bacteria, parasites, and chemicals or toxins in contaminated food or water. Common foodborne viruses include norovirus and hepatitis A virus, which cause gastroenteritis and hepatitis, respectively. Foodborne protozoa include Giardia, which causes giardiasis and associated diarrhea, and Cyclospora cayetanensis, which causes cyclosporiasis with watery diarrhea. Preventing foodborne illness involves proper food handling including washing produce, cooking foods thoroughly, and maintaining clean surfaces and hands.
Presentation food water
Water is essential for life and makes up 70% of the human body. It is involved in many biological processes like digestion, circulation, and temperature regulation. Water can harbor various microbes like bacteria, viruses, and protozoa that cause diseases. Common waterborne diseases are typhoid, cholera, hepatitis, and diarrhea. Water is purified through various treatment methods to remove microbes. A significant percentage of foods also contain water, ranging from 100% in water to less than 1% in dry foods like nuts and cookies.
Nicholas
Cholera is a bacterial disease caused by Vibrio cholerae found in contaminated water or food. It causes severe diarrhea that can lead to dehydration and death if untreated. The disease is spread through ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces of an infected person. It is found in parts of Asia, Africa, Haiti and Peru where sanitation is poor. John Snow's study of a 1854 cholera outbreak in London helped discover contaminated water was the source. There are two vaccines available in some countries but none recommended in the US. Prevention focuses on proper sanitation, handwashing and drinking treated water.
Cholera Disease
Cholera is an infectious bacterial disease caused by Vibrio cholerae that infects the small intestine. It is typically contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected individual. The bacteria release a toxin that causes severe watery diarrhea and vomiting, which can lead to rapid dehydration and death if untreated. The disease spreads through the fecal-oral route, with transmission aided by the bacteria's ability to form biofilms on crustaceans like copepods, allowing large concentrations to infect humans. Prevention focuses on drinking safe water, handwashing, proper sanitation, and fully cooking food.
Diarrhea
Diarrhea is defined as three or more unformed stools in 24 hours and is commonly caused by ingestion of contaminated food or water. Common pathogens that cause diarrhea include E. coli, Salmonella, Campylobacter, rotaviruses, and cryptosporidium. Diarrhea occurs when the secretion of water into the intestines exceeds absorption, resulting in loose or watery stool. Proper treatment involves preventing or treating dehydration by giving clear fluids and rest.

Monera
Monera are single-celled prokaryotic organisms that include bacteria. Bacteria come in various shapes and live nearly everywhere. They are classified into three main types - cocci, bacilli, and spirilla - based on their shape. Bacteria obtain nutrients in different ways, such as photosynthesis, consuming chemicals, or parasitizing other organisms. They reproduce through asexual binary fission. Archaea are a distinct group of prokaryotes that can survive in extreme environments like deep sea hydrothermal vents or acidic swamps.
Salmonellosis
Salmonellosis is an illness caused by Salmonella bacteria found in foods like eggs, poultry, meat, and dairy if not properly handled or cooked. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, and fever. There are over 2,400 strains of Salmonella bacteria that can cause infection. Doctors diagnose salmonellosis by examining the patient's symptoms and testing a stool sample for Salmonella bacteria. Prevention involves thoroughly cooking foods and washing hands, especially after contact with animals or using the bathroom.
Cholera
Cholera is devastating diarrheal disease caused by V. Cholerae that has been responsible for seven global pandemics.

Electricity2
The document discusses electricity, light, and sound. It explains that electricity is generated by the movement of electrons forced along a path by humans. Materials like conductors can carry electrical energy in the form of moving electrons, while insulators cannot. Light is a form of energy made up of photons that can behave as both a particle and wave. Light travels very fast but bends when passing through different materials like water via refraction. Sound is a vibration that travels through matter as a wave and can be heard. It needs material to travel through as it moves molecules in a chain.

Stress is a response of the body that redirects functions to respond to threats, and can be either punctual or chronic. Chronic stress decreases cellular regeneration and redirects blood flow to protect vital organs, potentially causing external symptoms like hair loss, stomach discomfort, skin changes, and cold hands. Skin changes from stress can occur all over the body, including the back, hands, legs, and face.
Down síndrome
Down syndrome is a genetic condition where a person is born with an extra chromosome 21. It was first described by Dr. John Langdon Down. People with Down syndrome have 46 chromosomes instead of the typical 46, with the extra chromosome causing delays in physical and mental development. While the cause is unknown, it occurs when there is an extra chromosome in the 21st pair. Those with Down syndrome often have characteristic physical traits and may experience medical issues such as heart defects, eye and vision problems, hip issues, and thyroid problems.
Asthma
This document discusses asthma, including what it is, common causes and symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and classification. Asthma is a chronic non-infectious inflammation of the bronchus that is often caused by factors like smoke, environmental contaminants, allergens, infections, and obesity. Common symptoms include difficulty breathing, dry coughing, chest tightness, and wheezing. Diagnosis involves lung function tests and may include other tests. Treatment involves both non-pharmacological methods to prevent attacks and pharmacological therapies administered via inhalers or nebulizers. Asthma is classified based on the severity of symptoms as intermittent, mild persistent, moderate persistent, or severe persistent.
Presentación2
Alzheimer's is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time, causing short-term memory loss and difficulties with language, mood, motivation, and self-care. It is caused by changes in the brain and primarily affects those over 65. While there is no cure, regular mental and physical activity may help prevent Alzheimer's or slow its progression, and specific medicines, nutrition, exercise, and an adapted environment can help manage symptoms.
Celiac
Celiac disease is an immune reaction to eating gluten, a protein found in wheat. In those with celiac disease, the immune system attacks and damages the villi of the small intestine. This prevents absorption of important vitamins and nutrients, leading to problems like poor growth, weight loss, and anemia. The only treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet to avoid these symptoms.
Dwarfism
Dwarfism is a condition characterized by short stature and can be caused by over 200 genetic and medical conditions. There are two main types: disproportionate dwarfism where the trunk is average size but the limbs are shortened, and proportionate dwarfism where all body parts are shortened proportionately. Treatment depends on the type - disproportionate dwarfism may be treated with surgery to lengthen bones while proportionate dwarfism can use hormone treatments like growth hormone to increase height. While dwarfism cannot be prevented, early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce its impacts on quality of life.
Chickenpox
Chickenpox is an infectious disease caused by a virus that is characterized by a rash of itchy blisters over the entire body. It mainly affects children but can be more serious in adults by potentially affecting internal organs. Symptoms include nausea, loss of appetite, aching muscles, and headache. The rash begins as spots that spread and form blisters. Treatment involves staying home while infectious to avoid spreading it, keeping nails short to prevent scratching, and there is a vaccine recommended for adults who have not had chickenpox. Once a person has chickenpox, they are protected and cannot get it again.
Leukemia 2
Leukemia is a cancer of the white blood cells that develops in the bone marrow and causes uncontrolled increase in leukocytes. It has no known single cause but genetic, environmental, and immunodeficiency factors are believed to play a role. Leukemia affects the bone marrow and leukocytes. Symptoms vary but can include fever and infection. Treatment may involve chemotherapy, radiotherapy, bone marrow transplant, or antibiotics. Prevention is not possible as the cause is unknown.
Parkinson' disease
Parkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system that causes a loss of motor control. It occurs when nerve cells in the basal ganglia region of the brain that produce dopamine die or become impaired. This leads to a lack of dopamine in the brain, causing symptoms like shaking, rigidity, slow movement, and difficulty walking. While the exact causes are unknown, it may be related to genetic or environmental factors. In advanced stages, thinking problems and dementia become more common.
Breast cancer
Breast cancer is caused by the uncontrolled growth of mammary cells. The symptoms of breast cancer include a swelling or lump in the breast, skin irritation, breast or nipple pain, nipple inversion, redness or thickening of the breast or nipple. Chemotherapy is a common treatment for breast cancer, used for both early and advanced stages, to destroy cancer cells and reduce the risk of recurrence. A side effect of chemotherapy is hair loss or alopecia. While the exact causes of breast cancer are unknown, it is always caused by damage to a cell's DNA and breast cancer is considered a non-infectious illness.
Allergies
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to normally harmless substances called allergens. Common allergens include dust mites, pollen, foods, and some medications. Allergies are very common and can cause symptoms ranging from mild discomfort to life-threatening reactions. There are many different types of allergies including food, skin, dust, insect stings, pets, drugs, pollen, latex, mold, and cockroaches. Symptoms vary but can include sneezing, itchy eyes, rashes, hives, coughing, and difficulty breathing. Allergies are diagnosed through tests and treatments include avoidance of allergens and medications.
Ebola
Ebola is a dangerous virus endemic to parts of Africa that can cause severe illness or death through transmission of bodily fluids from infected individuals. While normally occurring as isolated cases, Ebola poses a serious epidemic risk if an outbreak occurs as it can spread quickly between people through direct contact with infected body fluids like spit. Symptoms initially resemble the flu but can worsen to include fever, bleeding, vomiting blood and diarrhea. Scientists still do not fully understand the origins of the virus or have a cure.
Autism chantal and antonia
Autism is a lifelong neurological disorder characterized by difficulties in social interaction and communication. While the specific causes are unknown, genetic and environmental factors during fetal development may play a role. Treatment options include behavioral therapy and medication to help manage symptoms and promote independence, while preventing autism involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle during pregnancy without drugs or alcohol.
Salmonella
Salmonella is a bacterial disease that infects the intestinal tract and causes illnesses like typhoid fever and food poisoning. People usually become infected by eating contaminated food like meat, poultry, or eggs or drinking contaminated water. The main symptoms are diarrhea, fever, and abdominal cramps within 12-72 hours, and the illness typically lasts 4-7 days. The disease is caused by salmonella bacteria rather than a virus.
