CAUSES OF TUBERCULOSIS POWERPOINT
Tuberculosis is caused by the Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacteria, which is usually spread through the air from person to person via coughs or sneezes. It initially infects the lungs but can spread to other organs. Risk factors for tuberculosis infection include conditions that weaken the immune system, especially HIV/AIDS. Some strains of the bacteria have developed resistance to antibiotics.
Black plague
The Black Plague, also known as the bubonic plague or Black Death, was caused by the Yersinia pestis bacteria which infected fleas. These fleas would bite rats, dogs, humans and other animals, spreading the plague. Symptoms started as headaches, fever and vomiting before progressing to coughing up blood, respiratory failure and death. It killed 25 million people in Europe, approximately one-third of the population at the time. Doctors treating patients wore masks and long robes to avoid infection, which led to the costume tradition of Halloween masks.
aeromicrobiology
This document discusses aero-microbiology, which is the study of microorganisms that are suspended in air. It notes that microbes can be transmitted through the air via coughing, sneezing, or being carried by dust or droplet nuclei. Various airborne diseases caused by bacteria, viruses, and fungi are described, including how they are transmitted and their symptoms. The document also outlines some methods to control microorganisms in the air, such as through ultraviolet radiation, chemical agents, filtration, and laminar airflow systems.
You've Gotta Be Crazy to Go to War

Civil war medicine
Medical knowledge and practices during the Civil War were very basic and unsanitary by modern standards. Surgeons had little training and infection was not understood, so amputation was often the only solution for bullet wounds. Common diseases like dysentery, typhoid fever, and pneumonia spread quickly through unsanitary camp conditions and claimed many lives. While some anesthetics like chloroform were available, overall medical care was limited. Over 600,000 soldiers died during the war, with more from disease than combat injuries.

Medicine and Public Health Edexcel GCSE Revision
Galen began studying medicine at 16 and traveled extensively to further his knowledge. He became a highly respected doctor and wrote many influential books on medicine that formed the basis of medical training for centuries. His ideas were widely accepted because his books were comprehensive and aligned with the dominant Christian views of the time.
Physicians that changed our world
The document summarizes the contributions of several physicians who helped advance medicine and public health:
- Edward Jenner developed the smallpox vaccine in 1796 which was pivotal in eradicating the disease.
- Ignaz Semmelweis discovered in 1847 that handwashing reduced maternal mortality from puerperal fever in hospitals.
- John Snow conclusively linked a cholera outbreak in 1854 to a contaminated water pump, helping establish germ theory and epidemiology.
- Joseph Lister introduced antiseptic surgery in 1867, reducing surgical infections through carbolic acid and dressings.
- Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 after noticing bacteria-killing mould in his lab, though it
Pandemics
The Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1920 was one of the deadliest pandemics in history. It is estimated to have infected 500 million people worldwide and killed approximately 20 million victims. While it originated in the United States, it became known as the "Spanish flu" because news of it was more freely reported in neutral Spain than in warring countries. The second wave in particular proved to be highly lethal, killing victims within days by filling their lungs with fluid. Doctors and scientists struggled to treat the virus effectively as there were no vaccines or antiviral drugs available at the time.
Presentation1 Penicillin
Sir Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928 by accident. Before antibiotics, bacterial infections routinely killed millions as there were no effective treatments. Fleming was studying influenza when he noticed a mold in his lab that prevented bacterial growth, which he identified as penicillin. Penicillin proved effective against certain bacteria like streptococcus and helped reduce deaths from infections. It revolutionized medicine and led to advances like organ transplants. However, overuse of antibiotics has led to increased resistance from bacteria over time.
Powerpoint Ww1 Flu
- An estimated 50 million people died from the influenza virus that swept the world in 1918, killing more than any other illness in recorded history.
- The virus first appeared in spring 1918 with mild symptoms but returned in fall in a more severe form, as scientists and doctors did not understand why it was spreading so quickly.
- Symptoms were atypical and included hemorrhaging in the lungs, with many victims' lungs filling with fluid and causing suffocation within hours.
- Medicine at the time could not cope with the virus, and while home remedies helped symptoms, there was no cure identified as the virus eventually subsided on its own.
Zoonotic diseasesAllah Dad Kha
Bird flu, or avian influenza, is a virus that normally infects birds but can be transmitted to humans. It has caused widespread outbreaks in domestic poultry since 2003. If the virus mutates to allow efficient human-to-human transmission, it could cause a global pandemic. Past pandemics have resulted in millions of deaths. A future pandemic could kill hundreds of thousands in the US and cost over $100 billion. Precautions are needed to prepare for and limit the spread and impact of an outbreak.
History timeline 2.8.11
During World War 1, many soldiers suffered from infectious diseases like influenza, trench fever, and typhoid fever. Medical camps were set up behind the front lines in buildings like factories and churches to treat large numbers of wounded soldiers. Doctors at the time had only brief medical training and were aware of basic hygiene. With many male doctors at war, women played a larger role in medicine and treatment of the sick during this period.
Infectious Diseases introduction and history.ppt
This document provides information on infectious diseases caused by bacteria and viruses. It discusses anthrax and plague, both caused by bacteria - anthrax by Bacillus anthracis and plague by Yersinia pestis. It describes the symptoms and transmission of cutaneous, inhalation, and intestinal anthrax as well as bubonic, septicemic, and pneumonic plague. It also briefly discusses ebola and smallpox, both viral diseases. The document provides an overview of infectious diseases and the bacteria and viruses that cause them.
Discovery of Penicillin
This presentation highlights on an important discovery i.e. Penicillin antibiotics by Sir Alexander Fleming.
Edward Jenner
Edward Jenner was an English physician born in 1749 who discovered vaccination for smallpox. He observed that dairy workers who had previously contracted cowpox did not later get smallpox. In 1796, he took material from a cowpox blister and inoculated an 8-year old boy, later exposing him to smallpox with no illness resulting. Jenner published his findings in 1798. By 1800, over 100,000 people worldwide had been vaccinated. Jenner's discovery led to the eradication of smallpox and saved millions of lives. He received honors but died in 1823 before being elected to the College of Physicians.
Typhoid Fever
Typhoid fever is a life-threatening illness caused by the Salmonella Typhi bacterium. It affects approximately 12.5 million people worldwide each year. The disease is contracted through ingestion of contaminated food or water. Symptoms include sustained high fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea or constipation. While antibiotics have reduced the fatality rate to 1-2%, drug-resistant strains are an increasing problem. Vaccines can help prevent infection for those traveling to areas where the disease is common.

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.
