Explanation: Frequent infections


People with sickle cell disease, the red blood cells become malformed turning sickle shaped. The bone marrow tries to make more red blood cells, to make up for the loss but can’t keep up causing, anemia. The new shape keeps them from moving properly through the body, as a result they, can jam up and stick to the walls of the blood vessels. These clumps cut of oxygen to healthy tissues, delaying a child’s normal growth and causing fatigue. Some symptoms include pale skin, headache, chest pain, shortness of breath and are most likely to catch infections.

Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur ________ regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks
never [62]
Genital HSV-1 outbreaks reoccur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks. There is no cure for genital herpes. Using condoms properly can reduce the risk of cross infection but it is not 100% safe. Genital herpes can still be transferred between partners even with the use of condoms. Once you have herpes, you are at risk of it reoccurring, Research has shown that 80% of people who contract HSV-2 will have at least one occurrence. Generally HSV-2 tends to reoccur four to six times per year. In contrast, only 50% of people who contract HSV-1 will have at least one reoccurrence. The HSV-1 infection only tends to reoccur once a year.

Tina’s 83-year-old great uncle forgets where he is during his yearly check-up. He doesn’t remember if he’s had memory problems b
Studentka2010 [4]
He actually could be having a stroke.


He could have Dementia or Alzheimer’s disease.

He could have a concussion.

He could have brain damage from substance abuse or smoking.

Treatment for memory loss depends on the cause. In many cases, it may be reversible with treatment.

For example, memory loss from medications may resolve with a change in medication.

Nutritional supplements can be useful against memory loss caused by a nutritional deficiency. And treating depression may be helpful for memory when depression is a factor.

In some cases -- such as following a stroke -- therapy may help people remember how to do certain tasks such as walking or tying shoes.

In others, memory may improve over time.

Treatments may also be specific to conditions related to memory loss.

For example, drugs are available to treat memory problems related to Alzheimer's disease, and drugs to help lower blood pressure can help reduce risk of more brain damage from dementia related to high blood pressure.

Hope this helped!
