Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder that causes severe problems mainly on the respiratory system, but also on other organs such as the pancreas or the liver. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that an individual needs to inherit one copy of the gene from each parent in order to have the disease. The disorder is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes the protein that participates in the transport salt intracellularly. This mutation causes a defect in the production of mucus, sweat and digestive fluid. In patients suffering from cystic fibrosis, these bodily fluids and the mucus are sticky and thick. This change in consistency causes severe damage to the respiratory and digestive systems.

Impacts of HIV and AIDS on agriculture
Kitty [74]

There are several ways that HIV/AIDS might impact agriculture: Absenteeism brought on by HIV-related illnesses and the loss of labor as a result of AIDS-related mortality may result in a reduction in the area of land being farmed and diminishing yields, which will decrease food production and increase food insecurity.

<h3>AIDS</h3>

Human immunodeficiency virus infection and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) are a group of ailments brought on by infection with the retrovirus known as the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). An individual may not experience any symptoms after the initial infection or they may have a brief period of influenza-like illness. This is usually followed by a protracted incubation period without symptoms. If the infection worsens, it will cause further immune system interference, raising the chance of getting opportunistic infections, malignancies, and other common illnesses like tuberculosis that are otherwise uncommon in persons with healthy immune systems. Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is the name for these post-infection symptoms (AIDS). This period is frequently linked to unintentional weight reduction as well.

Zina [86]
Generally, dogs have many similarities with the human race, as we both are vulnerable to same diseases, etc. but we don’t necessarily need everything a dog needs. Although it seems we are very alike in a way, we are actually different in some. Such as: dogs have very sharp instincts, like smell, navigation, detecting illness among humans, and able to see their own farts. Idk a lot, and i suggest you look it up on a credible site. :)

Verizon [17]

In human body, the normal range for blood pH is between 7.35 and 7.45. In the case of Mrs. Roberts who suffers from severe acidosis, her blood pH must be immediately back to normal because severe acidosis has a tendency to eat up all dentures enzymes and body tissue, which may hinder the normal cell function. Moreover, the reason why severe acidosis pose a serious problem is that it can lead to diabetic coma or even death.
