A tetanus infection causes painful tightening of the muscles, usually all over the body, leading to "locking" of the jaw and making
What is Fibrotic Hardening of the Lungs in Cats? Fibrotic hardening of the lungs, also known as pulmonary fibrosis, is a form of pneumonia that causes inflammation and scarring in the alveoli, tiny air sacs in the lungs. Over time, the inflammation and fibrous scarring cause the lung tissues to thicken and harden. This thickening affects both the flow of oxygen and the ability of the lungs to contract normally, decreasing the amount of oxygen that the rest of the cat 's body receives. Pulmonary
induced by factors such as physical or emotional stress, medications, and bacterial or viral inflammations. Laughing and crying, aspirin, and infections like sinusitis or pneumonia could elicit an attack. Extrinsic factors, or allergic asthma, are triggered by allergens that are inhaled into the airways. These allergens can be dust, pollen, cigarette smoke, dander, and even perfume. In some cases, a favorite scent can become a trigger (Morris, 2015) or a pet such as a dog or cat. These components
Sputum contains a lot of bacteria, viruses, fungi and other pathogens. Respiratory infectious diseases, like influenza, tuberculosis, bronchitis, pneumonia, measles, pertussis, diphtheria and other pathogens, are spread through the sputum, very dangerous. Spitting there are many hazards, not only can cause health problems, in infectious disease multiple times, phlegm is a highly damaging route of transmission, inadvertently freely spit sputum are likely to have increased 10 people infected with the
dehydration (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.) When adults get B. pertussis infection, it is not as severe as when children get it (Konkel.) Pertussis, even if it is treated well, sometimes there can be serious consequences, for example, pneumonia sometimes appears or bleeding from the nose and mouth, due to coughing. In infants, asphyxia is very common, therefore, it is recommendable for infants under a year old need to be hospitalized in order to have an especial treatment (Centers for Disease
Bronchial asthma What is Bronchial asthma? It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the lungs that made the airways to swell and narrow, hence results in periodic "attacks" of coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, and chest tightness. This problem can affect any one despite of any age group or gender. Bronchial asthma mainly depends on a number of environmental and hereditary factors. What are the symptoms of Bronchial asthma?

Gastroenteritis:. Infection of the stomach or intestine is called gastroenteritis. Even though viruses cause gastrointestinal infection but bacteria also cause such infections by infecting the lining of the intestine or the stomach. stomach is infectad by large number of pathogenic microorganism and this infection is usually extends to the nearest structures which are the esophagus proximally and duodenum distally. Stomach infections is caused by two gerneral situations which are gastritis and
Abstract Exfoliative cheilitis is a rare disorder of unknown etiology causing inflammation of lips. Constant cyclical desquamation along with scaling and crusting of the lips are the salient features. These cases are usually refractory to treatment, as experienced and reported in the previous literature. We hereby report two cases of exfoliative cheiltis successfully treated with topical tacrolimus and oral olanzapine. One of our two cases was refractory to almost all forms of treatments. Key words:
Vibrio is a gram-negative bacteria with a curved-rod shape (Henry et al. 1994). Common pathogenic Vibrio species include Vibrio harveyi, Vibrio anguillarum, and Vibrio paraheamolyticus, and are the most prevalent pathogens in China. Taking Vibrio anguillarum for example, it caused deadly hemorrhagic septicaemic disease in many marine and freshwater species, including Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), turbot (Psetta maxima), sea bream (Sparus aurata), Asian sea bass
Abstract Background: Spontaneous diaphragmatic hernia without any apparent history of trauma is a very rare condition. Case: A 38year old female who was admitted to emergency department with abdominal pain, nausea and constipation for 5 days and was diagnosed with spontaneous diaphragmatic hernia. There was no significant past history of trauma. The patient was treated with laparotomy and the diaphragmatic defect was repaired primarily. Conclusion: Spontaneous acquired diaphragmatic hernia due to
Should cigarettes be illegal? Should smoking be illegal? Yes, you may ask yourself why? Simply because it results in a large number of death’s (the most in the uk to be precise).Most of us aren’t aware of the side effects from smoking cigarettes, which is very worrying to me.

All those cigarettes that you smoke then leads to horrible effects later in life; e.g. Cancer, Brain Damage, high blood pressure,
Another reason for this is that sucking on a pacifier might aid in opening up air space around an infant’s mouth and nose, thus ensuring adequate oxygen supply. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) suggests the use of pacifiers for babies below 1 yr of age at naptime and bedtime (preferably after the baby is at least 1 month old). Helps in relieving pain Sucking on a pacifier after getting a vaccination can help to relieve pain. Helps premature babies suck Premature babies can benefit from
An effective solution with intrinsic challenges Manufactured by ResMed, the AirSense device is a continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) machine used to treat sleep apnea. The CPAP, a device with a mask worn during sleep, is very (99 percent) effective at maintaining airflow and reducing or eliminating the interrupted breathing that is caused by sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is associated with a number of cardiovascular problems, including high blood pressure, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and congestive

Mr.C is a 60-year-old gentleman who was recently diagnosed with oropharyngeal cancer in July 2015 at the Jewish General Hospital. He lives with his two children, 19 and 21 years old, who are both in university studies. His CT scan showed a soft tissue mass on his right tonsil extending posteriorly to the oropharyngeal wall, involving to the right base of the tongue, blocking 75% of his airway. Two months before diagnosis, he was complaining of a sore throat, dysphagia, otalgia and frequent coughing
The following case study of multiple workers becoming severely ill after working in an industrial planet, which is located in a neighborhood of Baltimore Maryland. The symptoms of the workers range from a coughing and other respiratory symptoms to pneumonia. A single death has been reported out of the 70 known cases. I believe the workers had been exposed to Legionella which is a pathogenic, Gram-negative bacteria. This bacteria is naturally found in fresh water, and thrives in warm bodies of water
Strep throat is a bacterial infection that affects people of all ages which causes inflammation and pain in the throat.
