Answer:

The 3 week old child is showing signs of common cold transformed to bronchitis indicative of RSV infection.

Explanation:

Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is a respiratory illness of nose, throat and lungs which commonly occurs in infants at young chronological age of ≤12 weeks. This RSV virus is easily transmitted if the child is crowded with children or have siblings. It is mentioned that the child’s 4 years old sibling goes to day care and may have brought the RSV infection. This RSV infection causes cold symptoms followed by bronchitis or pneumonia. The cold symptoms exhibited by the child include fever, cough, congestion, sneezing, poor breastfeeding etc. When the infection runs deep after few days, it shows lower respiratory tract infection i.e. bronchitis symptoms. The symptoms of bronchitis include fast breathing, wheezing, belly breathing or tugging between their ribs due to intercostal retractions. The complete course of infection lasts an average of 5-7 days.

What are the benefits of performing a clia-waived rapid test in the medical office?.
tresset_1 [31]

Giving the doctor a clear indication of the issue, enabling early therapy to begin, and being practical for the patient.

<h3>What do you mean by Clia-waived rapid test ?</h3>

According to the CLIA law, tests that the CDC or FDA deem to be sufficiently straightforward that there is minimal danger of error are waived.

  • Pregnancy tests, faecal occult blood tests, some urine tests, and some tests for glucose and cholesterol are also exempt.

  • The quick availability of results while the patient is available for immediate follow-up, the need for little training in simple tests, and the portability of many waived tests all contribute to the advantages of performing them.

Put the following events of the adaptive immune response in the order they occur.
LenKa [72]

Answer:

The immune response to infection, of whatever kind, is vital for human survival. At its core lies the cells, and enzymes, as well as chemical components, that will activate these responses, the innate, and the acquired immune response.

Although still under lots of study, and science finding new things in this complex system, the order of the steps in which the system is activated, roughly, is this:

1. C. You cut yourself and bacteria enter the wound.

2. F. A dendrite near the cut phagocytizes some bacteria and uses MHC proteins to present exogenous antigens from the destroyed bacteria on its surface

3. A. The antigen-presenting macrophage and some of the bacteria, enter the lymph and float down a lymph vessel to the lymph node, where T cells are awaiting to recognize it and act.

4. E. Helper T cells at the lymph node use their T cell receptors to bind the antigens on the surface of the dendrite and bacteria. This triggers the helper T cells to reproduce, differentiate and release cytokines and other elements that increase inflamation and activate other immune cells.

5. G. Also, B cells at the lymph node use their B cell receptors to bind to the antigens on the surface of the bacteria and dendrite. These B cells also bind to the cytokines being produced. This triggers the B cells to reproduce and start making antibodies. They also trigger cytotoxic T cells CD4 and CD8 differentiation and activation.

6. B. All the elements produced flow through the blood, activating other immune responses and migrate them towards the site of infection. Because of the inflammation, and thanks to the cytokines and protoinflammatory elements, more cells are activated and they can penetrate the inflammed tissue.

7. D. Through the actions of the antibodies, cytokines, chemicals, and different actions of the cells, phagocytes, and cytotoxic T cells are finally able to destroy the invading bacteria and kill all infected tissue as well, leaving behin scar tissue at the site of the wound, and both B and T cells activate their memory capacity, so that if a new infection by that microorganism happens again, the response will be much faster and efficient.

This is a very broad organization of the immune response.

La OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) definió a la salud como "el estado de completo bienestar físico, mental y social, y no
seropon [69]

Answer:

La definición de salud de la OMS establece que la salud no es solo la ausencia de enfermedad sino que también es estar bien mentalmente, físicamente y socialmente. Esta definición no abarca solo curar a una persona cuando esté enferma, también habla sobre la prevención de la enfermedad manteniendo una vida equilibrada en lo que concierne a lo físico, mental y social.

La definición de salud de la OPS es mucho más estrecha. Esta solo incluye la adaptación de la persona a su medio, lo cual si lo comparamos con la definición de la OMS este concepto podría entrar dentro del bienestar físico, mental y social. Podemos ver que no se refiere específicamente a la enfermedad y que la ausencia de esta sería por una adaptación exitosa de la persona. A su vez la adaptación es una forma de prevenir la ausencia de salud según la definición de la OPS.

Explanation:

La Organización Mundial de la Salud y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud. son dos entidades que se especializan en la salud a nivel internacional. La OPS actualmente forma parte de la OMS ya que es una oficina para la región americana de la OMS. Estas dos organizaciones empezaron por separado y tienen definiciones de salud diferentes pero podemos ver que ambas trabajan para prevenir y curar enfermedades.
