Describe The Relationship Between Ecous And Post-Ebola Virus

558 Words3 Pages

Dr. Ian Crozier, is a doctor that volunteered to help those infected in West Africa. Crozier later went on to be infected by the same virus he helped treat, he is a survivor of the deadly virus Ebola. Soon after being released from treatment he began to have symptoms, including severe back pain, hearing loss,seizures, and tinnitus. The most conspicuous complication was his serious eye problem, it caused him to have blurry vision, see halos around objects,feel pressure and pain in his left eye, and even changed his eye color. The strangest part of all this was that even after 100 days of being released from the hospital, the virus was still attacking his eyes, thankfully he could not pass the virus through mellow contact. It is unclear how the virus is able to remain unseen in particular parts of the body without being identified by the immune system. Crozier hopes that doctors will develop ways to diagnose and treat people who have post-Ebola symptoms and I agree because people need to be helped especially those who have conquered this horrendous virus. …show more content…

With more research and studies scientists and doctors will be able to develop ways to treat people with such symptoms. I believe research still needs to be done, but I am sure when doctors and scientists find a cure it will help numerous people greatly change their ways of living. I am not sure if it changes the way we look at old evidence because the article does not state whether scientists/doctors had any information on patients who suffered with horrid symptoms after being declared Ebola free. Hopefully, scientists/doctors will find a suitable way to help those who are

    In addition, individuals didn’t know the actual source of the virus, and that’s a major issue, because if they knew the actual source it would be easier to control the spread of the disease. Viruses are incurable and that what makes it more complicated, therefore people fear getting the virus. Previously doctors and physicians were not familiar with Ebola’s virus, especially with Charles Monet case they were all frightened, shocked, and unacquainted of the condition that he had, since it was a rare form of disease that no one knew how to cure it, or how to deal with

    Edgar Allan Poe, writer of "The Masque of the Red Death" could very well be talking about present-day disease, Ebola. In the story, many things send readers' minds straight to the disease and for good reason. Poe could be psychic, or he may simply have a very avid imagination; nonetheless, the similarities are very, very strange. Some of those similarities are the symptoms. One symptom that stands out in my mind as a similarity is the bleeding of the pores.

    For example, on page 94, Nancy Jaax realizes that Ebola can be transmitted through air, “It probably traveled through the air in aerosolized secretion. That was when I knew that Ebola can travel through the air.” However, on page 95, it goes to Mr. Yu G., a victim of Ebola, and how he died from it, “ Yu. G. went into shock and died with blood running from the orifices of his body … Mr. Yu. G. was the first identified case, the index case, in an outbreak of an unknown virus.”

He then began to feel sick after consuming the meat which his wife cooked and went to Yambuku hospital for a medicine injection afterwards. However, an ominous event was about to take place when the author mentioned, “At the beginning of each day, the nuns at Yambuku Hospital would lay out five hypodermic syringes on a table, and they would use them to give shots to patients all day long.” (Preston 102). This is a significant issue which assisted the spread of the virus, as the schoolteacher broke out with Ebola and became the first known case of Ebola Zaire.

    The red death in “The Masque of The Red Death” by Edgar Allen Poe was based most likely on the Black Death or the Bubonic Plague. The red death and the Black Death have similar symptoms but not exactly the same. Both viruses ended in death just as Ebola (usually) does. When comparing the “The Masque of The Red Death” and the Ebola article,, I don’t think that he was talking about Ebola. But, he could have heard something about a slave that had Ebola.

    We humans often consider ourselves to be apex predators, invincible thanks to our superior intelligence. Somewhere deep within our subconscious, there is an ever present awareness of danger, but it’s easier to ignore the notion. Thus, "the world is stable and life is secure" isn’t an unreasonable conclusion. At age twelve, I was living in this state of mind, content with not having to face the fragility of my existence, when I picked up Richard Preston’s The Hot Zone. The title page boasted that it was “a terrifying true story”.

  • The Importance Of Science In Health Care

    Without research, people will continue suffering from epidemics and diseases that are difficult to treat. The importance of science is that it creates an opportunity for scientists to seek further knowledge that can help them understand how diseases work. For example, the cure for HIV/AIDS can only be found, if scientists continue conducting research on how the virus operates and how it can be treated. It is of great importance that research efforts are well-funded and that researchers receive the support they need to ensure that research efforts are successful. The information collected from proper research is helpful to all health professionals in the provision of targeted and well-informed treatment plans that meet the needs of the
