Shingles: mini project
Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which also causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant in the nerve tissue and reactivate later in life as shingles. Shingles typically causes a painful rash that develops on one side of the body or face. The rash blisters and scabs over within 2-4 weeks. While shingles itself is not contagious, the virus can spread to those who have not had chickenpox if they come into direct contact with the rash blisters. Risk of shingles increases with age, with about half of cases occurring in people over 60 years old
Life Science 6.1 : Disease
This document discusses infectious diseases and how they spread. It explains that infectious diseases, also called pathogens, can be passed from one living thing to another through various pathways, including the air, contaminated objects, direct contact between people or animals, and through food and water. It notes that while some diseases like cancer are noninfectious, infectious diseases are caused by pathogens. It also outlines four methods that have helped reduce disease spread: pasteurization, vaccines and immunity, antibiotics, and improved sanitation.
Difference between a pandemic, an epidemic, endemic, and an outbreak
An epidemic refers to a disease affecting a large number of people within a community or region, while a pandemic is an epidemic that has spread across multiple countries or continents. An endemic disease is one that is constantly present in a particular population or region. An outbreak refers to a sudden increase in cases of an endemic disease within a confined geographical area. The COVID-19 pandemic is an example of a disease that began as an epidemic in Wuhan, China and then spread globally to become a pandemic, affecting millions of people worldwide across multiple continents.
H1 n1 influenza type a
The 2009 H1N1 influenza virus, also known as swine flu, originated in pigs but began infecting humans in the United States. It is transmitted from person to person through coughs, sneezes, or contact with infected surfaces. Symptoms are similar to seasonal flu and include fever, cough, and sore throat. While most cases are mild, it can cause severe illness, especially in the young, old, and immunocompromised. Treatment focuses on rest, fluids, and antiviral medications if symptoms are severe. Vaccination and practicing good hygiene are recommended to prevent spread.
Bird Flu
Bird flu is a viral infection that affects some particular species of wild birds. Although the said wild birds do not seem to be adversely affected by the virus, when it spreads to livestock that is being raised for human consumption like ducks and chickens, these birds to get sick and die. The virus generally infects birds and not human beings.
Four Illness Of The Third World
Malaria is a disease caused by protozoa that infects over 400 million people worldwide each year, most commonly in Africa. It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms include shivering, vomiting, headache, and high fever in cycles. Prevention methods include wearing long, light-colored clothing; applying insect repellent; and sleeping under mosquito nets, especially for those traveling to Africa.
Swine Flu (By Omar Samy)
Swine flu is a virus that infects pigs and can be transmitted to humans. It causes flu-like symptoms such as fever, cough, sore throat, and body aches. The virus spreads when infected people cough or sneeze near others or through contact with contaminated surfaces. To prevent infection, frequent hand washing with soap and water or alcohol-based sanitizers is recommended, as well as avoiding contact with those exhibiting flu-like symptoms. While rarely deadly for pigs, the virus can be serious or fatal for at-risk groups like the elderly, infants, and pregnant women.
M. roby kusuma
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.

Flu
The document discusses influenza (flu), a highly contagious viral infection that often causes fever and body aches. It spreads through airborne droplets when infected people cough, sneeze or talk. Common symptoms include runny nose, sore throat, cough, fever, body aches and fatigue. While antibiotics do not treat viruses like the flu, vaccination and rest can help prevent and treat the illness. Those at higher risk include young children, older adults, pregnant women and those with weak immune systems. There are different types of flu viruses that occasionally spread between animals and humans.
Small pox
Smallpox is a contagious disease caused by the variola virus that presents with a raised rash and fever. There are two forms of smallpox - variola major, which is more severe and often fatal, and variola minor which is less common and less severe. The smallpox virus has an incubation period of 7 to 17 days where it is sometimes contagious, followed by an initial prodrome phase and development of the characteristic pustular rash where the patient is most contagious. Vaccination was key to the successful global eradication initiative in the 1970s through mass vaccination campaigns and surveillance programs. While smallpox has been eradicated, countries maintain vaccine stockpiles
Dengue
Dengue fever is caused by one of four closely related Dengue virus serotypes transmitted to humans through the bites of infected Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquitoes. Infection with one serotype provides lifetime immunity only to that serotype, so people in dengue-endemic areas can be infected multiple times. The mosquitoes become infected after biting an infected person and can then transmit the virus while biting others after a week, continuing the cycle between humans and mosquitoes.

Tuberculosis
A potentially serious infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs.
The bacteria that cause TB are spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.
Most people infected with the bacteria that cause tuberculosis don't have symptoms. When symptoms do occur, they usually include a cough (sometimes blood-tinged), weight loss, night sweats and fever.
Treatment isn't always required for those without symptoms. Patients with active symptoms will require a long course of treatment involving multiple antibiotics
Hiv
HIV attacks the immune system by using white blood cells to replicate itself, weakening the body's ability to fight infection over time without treatment. It was first recognized in 1981 and is thought to have originated from non-human primates in Africa, spreading to humans in the early 20th century. HIV is transmitted through bodily fluids like blood, semen, vaginal fluids and breast milk. While there is no cure for HIV, antiretroviral therapy can control the virus and allow those infected to live a normal lifespan, though they must remain on daily medication.

H1N1 flu (swine flu) overview
The H1N1 flu, sometimes called swine flu, is a type of influenza A virus.
During the 2009-10 flu season, a new H1N1 virus began causing illness in humans. It was often called swine flu and was a new combination of influenza viruses that infect pigs, birds and humans.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared the H1N1 flu to be a pandemic in 2009. That year the virus caused an estimated 284,400 deaths worldwide. In August 2010, WHO declared the pandemic over. But the H1N1 flu strain from the pandemic became one of the strains that cause seasonal flu.
Small Pox
Smallpox is believed to have originated in Africa and first appeared in Egypt in 1350 BC. It was one of the most devastating diseases in history, killing around 30% of those infected. There are four main types that differ in symptoms and mortality rates. The disease was eliminated through a global vaccination program and the last known case was in Somalia in 1977. While the virus samples exist in two locations, there is concern it could be used as a biological weapon.

Pandemics In America Research Paper
The document discusses pandemics that have impacted India, specifically smallpox in 1974 and the swine flu pandemic of 2009. It notes that both pandemics slowed India's economic growth and caused the country to impose restrictions on movement to curb the spread of disease. The cultural response was that people united across cultural barriers to fight the pandemics as the population of the nation.

Before embarking on a research project, especially one aimed at scoping and defining parameters like the one described for health tech IT, several crucial considerations should be addressed. Here’s a comprehensive guide covering key aspects to ensure a well-structured and successful research initiative:
1. Define Research Objectives and Scope
Clear Objectives: Define specific goals such as understanding market needs, identifying new opportunities, assessing risks, or refining pricing strategies.
Scope Definition: Clearly outline the boundaries of the research in terms of geographical focus, target demographics (e.g., age, socio-economic status), and industry sectors (e.g., healthcare IT).

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.

留信认证全称全国留学生信息服务网认证,隶属于北京中科院。①留信认证门槛条件更低,费用更美丽,并且包过,完单周期短,效率高②留信认证虽然不能去国企,但是一般的公司都没有问题,因为国内很多公司连基本的留学生学历认证都不了解。这对于留学生来说,这就比自己光拿一个证书更有说服力,因为留学学历可以在留信网站上进行查询!
B.为什么我们提供的毕业证成绩单具有使用价值？
查询留服认证是国内鉴别留学生海外学历的唯一途径，但认证只是个体行为，不是所有留学生都操作，所以没有办理认证的留学生的学历在国内也是查询不到的，他们也仅仅只有一张文凭。所以这时候我们提供的和学校颁发的一模一样的毕业证成绩单，就有了使用价值。

Welcome to Influenzas
- 1. Influenzas
- 2. What is an Influenza? Influenza is an infectious disease caused by a virus. Symptoms to this type of sickness can vary between mild and severe. Common symptoms include: High fever, runny nose, coughing, sneezing, headache, and fatigue. Influenza is mostly referred to as “Flu”.
- 3. Influenza Type A Influenza Type A is one of the four different influenza viruses, which can cause a cough, body ache, and a sore throat. Influenza A is highly contagious and spreads around easily that is why it is important to take safety precautions while in a time experiencing this type of virus. In addition to humans, this virus is found in other living organisms.
- 4. Influenza Type B Unlike the Type A flu virus, the Type B flu can only be found in humans. This type of flu can cause less severe reaction than influenza type A, but only from time to time is the type B flu extremely harmful. Hence all this Influenza type B is still really contagious similarly to Influenza type A.
- 5. Different Types of Viruses • CoronaVirus • Ebola • Spanish Flu • SARS • Marburg • HIV • And many more…
- 6. Origin of Viruses Global society continues to be dazzled from where do viruses develop? Many people ask that question, and opinions differed on the answer. Here are some believes by seasoned Virologists: • The Genetic Material Hypothesis • The Bacteria Hypothesis • The Animal Hypothesis None of the hypothesis have been scientifically proven yet.
- 7. The Genetic Material In this hypothesis, it is believed that Viruses and Bacteria originate from mobile genetic elements, that are capable of moving within a genome, and have gained the ability to exit one cell and enter another. This is one of the hypothesis virologists believe in.
- 8. The Bacteria Hypothesis For this Hypothesis, the given thoughts are that the virus has developed inside the bacteria which then moves on to other cells applying the flu on the Human Body. Once again, this hypothesis has not been confirmed but is a thought shared between some people around the world.
- 9. The Animal Hypothesis For the last Hypothesis, the thought that we get viruses from already infected animals is a big possibility especially after revealing the truth behind how the CoronaVirus all began e. We can get infected by animals while getting in close contact. This is the prior hypothesis that has the highest merit in my opinion behind how viruses formed, although it yet has not been proved.
- 10. How do They Spread? Viruses spread in different ways according to the virus. The most common way viruses are spread usually is: - Airborne - Physical touch - Mouth droplets - Through Surfaces
- 11. a Airborne Spread Many viruses can be spread by the air which is the main reason we wear masks during a virus outbreak. This type of spread can be someone’s droplets flying through the air all the way to another person which then starts to spread the disease widely... This type of spread is said to be the most effective between the rest.
- 12. a Physical Spread Viruses can also be spread physically. During an outbreak it is important we don’t touch each other physically to prevent spread of the virus. During physical touch people who have already consumed the virus spread the germs during the physical touch. (Handshakes, Hi Fives, etc.…)
- 13. Droplet Spread Viruses mainly the respiratory ones spread contagiously through droplets. Wearing masks is also useful in protecting a person from consuming the virus through this type of spread. Social Distancing also denies viruses spreading by giving distance between people to prevent droplets from transporting from one person to another.
- 14. Surface Spread Cold and flu virus droplets may remain infectious for several hours, depending on where they land. Viruses generally remain active longer on stainless steel, plastic and similar hard surfaces than fabric and soft surfaces. The temperature and humidity of the environment also determine how long cold and flu viruses stay on surfaces.
- 15. Raise Awareness…
