The deadly Ebola virus is killing thousands of innocent people worldwide, but there are some simple steps that can be taken to prevent this common type of death. The following are six symptoms which may be a sign of then Ebola virus, high fever that is 101.5 and above, chills, severe headaches, sore throat and muscle pain. These are some of the early signs of someone that may be infected with the Ebola virus.
Your treatment will include therapy for symptoms you are experiencing. This includes: IV fluids and electrolytes so that you won’t dehydrate. Oxygen is used so you can breathe, Routine monitoring of your blood pressure and check for infections.
To prevent the spreading of Ebola virus you need to practice good hygiene such as
The current presidential election has wrought a quagmire of unthinkable actions by politicians in plain sight of the American public’s eye. With specific regard to the GOP, the former playbook of politics, consistent with unwavering party loyalty, has certainly been pushed out of print; especially by current speaker of the house, Paul Ryan. This essay will detail the estranged relationship between Paul Ryan and his party base, as rendered by New York Times correspondent Robert Draper, scrutinize the article’s inherent biases, and ultimately contextualize the situation in terms of Kelly’s leadership patterns.
In 2014, Ebola hemorrhagic fever caused an outbreak in West Africa that officially ended in 2016. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says, “Ebola is a rare and deadly disease caused by infection with one of the Ebola virus species” (“Ebola (Ebola Virus Disease)”). Ebola is caused when a person is in contact with an infected person’s blood or other body fluids. Prevention of contracting the disease include, not touching the dead body of an infected person, not touching body fluids of an infected person, avoiding places infected people are being treated, not touching bats or nonhuman primates
The cost of healthcare has always been a sore spot for people. Bringing the cost down and increasing the access to care by creating a universal healthcare system (a system that provides health care and financial protection to all citizens) may be beneficial. However, some people believe the care wouldn't be as good and it would cost too much. There’s many pros and cons of a universal healthcare system.
1.At first, Ebola symptoms seem like those of many other viruses. According to the CDC, the patient will usually experience the following symptoms:
The Ebola virus, also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is often fatal to humans. The EVD (Ebola Virus Disease) is transmitted to people from wild animals and from human-to-human interaction. The symptoms of EVD include headaches, red eyes, fevers, lack of appetite, internal bleeding, aches, weakness, diarrhea, hiccups, sore throat, difficulty breathing, difficulty swallowing, chest pains, pain, vomiting, rash, and bleeding. Currently, there is no official cure for EVD, however there are viable treatments. Blood transfusions, supportive intensive care, oxygen therapy, and other fluid injections can help medicate the virus. Treating Ebola requires a good laboratory service and a safe burial service. The origin of the virus
Mickey: The government already tracks fathers who are out of work through the monthly unemployment reports. The FBI also already tracks "mentally ill people who murdered" through crime statistics on its website.
Scientists and doctors alike have long been looking for cures to diseases like cancer. For years now, there have been countless fundraisers to cure this and cure that. And yet, it seems as if there's never any progress. There may be a brief headline in the news about a new discovery, but they always seem to never go anywhere. Maybe the problem is that they've been looking in the wrong places. Maybe the cure doesn't lie on a medicinal level, but instead the genetic level, in genetic engineering and gene therapy. Direct manipulation of an organism's genome can be used in gene therapy as a means to alter genes, causing both positive and negatives effects as well as discussions about the ethical boundaries of modern
Within a few days after symptoms begin, the diagnostic tests that confirm Ebola virus infection are the following: antigen-capture enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) testing, IgM ELISA, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), electron microscopy and virus isolation by cell culture. Later in the disease course, IgM and IgG antibody testing can be done. Retrospectively, immunohistochemistry testing, PCR, and virus isolation can be done in deceased patients. During laboratory test, samples are extreme biohazard risk and should be conducted under maximum containment
Introduction. The introduction presents the problem in a way that makes it easy to identify without the use of any ambiguous words. As a matter of fact, it is immediately stated in the first paragraph when the authors remark that Ebola epidemics are increasing exponentially with the fastest rate of spread in Liberia. This statement makes clear the population under study and the rationale for the research, even though the concept or plan is not specified at this time. However, the introduction does go on to later mention the imperative need of finding approaches to control the transmission of the disease, which
Ebola is almost both bacterial and viral, but it is mostly a viral disease. In the early two thousands a group of security let a young nurse infected with Ebola on a plane to America which led to America with Ebola on our hands. The nurse and the people that she infected were put in complete isolation in a Texas motel. The motel had plastic wrapped around it so that the disease could not get out and harm people. The infected people were isolated in the area for twenty one days before they were let go, turns out that only 2 were infected. There are many ways that Ebola can spread, including blood, saliva, and all other bodily fluids. There were not as many drugs or treatments for the Ebola virus when it first arrived. The very few ways to try to control it are, an IV, making sure that blood pressure stays normal, and treat all other infections with antibiotics, aspirin, Tylenol, and prescriptions. Also a few fun facts about Ebola that I think people should know. Ebola is formally known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever. Ebola is not airborne, or water borne, it is transmitted. Ebola is treated by keeping bodily fluids maintained and under
Many children in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone have lost one or both parents to Ebola since the start of the outbreak in West Africa, it's one of the first obstacles that must be overcome if West Africa is to recover.
The source of the Ebola virus is not completely known. Research has pointed to several possible carriers of the virus. "Among the suspected reservoirs for Ebola are bats, primates, rodents, and insects that inhabit tropical forests in Africa"(1). It is initially spread to people by coming into contact with body fluids or waste of one of the carriers and then it is transferred from person to person very easily and very quickly through similar avenues(2).
Ebola virus disease (EVD) is a severe, often fatal illness in humans. EVD outbreaks have a case fatality rate of up to 90%. Ebola first appeared on July 27, 1976, the very first person to contract the Ebola virus began to show symptoms. Ten days later he was dead. The latter was in a village situated near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name., with a total of 602 reported cases and 431 deaths. The first victim to contract Ebola was a cotton factory worker from Nzara, Sudan. Soon after this first man came down with symptoms, so did his co-worker. Then the co-worker 's wife became sick. The outbreak quickly spread to the Sudanese town of Maridi, where there was a hospital. Since no one in the medical field had ever seen this illness before, it took them awhile to realize that it was passed by close contact. By the time the outbreak had subsided in the Sudan, 284 people had become ill, 151 of whom had died.
At first it may be hard to differiantie beteen Ebola and many other diseases. Early symptoms of Ebola are similar to influenza, malaria, typhoid fever, fulminant hepatitis, sepsis, nontyphoidal salmonellosis, and various forms of encephalitis, dengue fever, yellow fever, Lassa fever, Marburg, and other hemorrhagic diseases. Since it is quite difficult to diagnosis Ebola the only way to correctly diagnosis is to have laboratory confirmation of Ebola virus. Usually symptoms of Ebola is sudden, with patients showing symptoms within 5 to 12 days Early symptoms can include acute fever, chills, myalgia, head- ache, arthralgia, and anorexia. Nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, hypotension, tachypnea, relative bradycardia, conjunctivitis, conjunctival injection, pharyngitis, and diarrhea, which may be bloody, are other evolving signs. Cutaneous flushing or rashes are also common (World Health Organization 1997). Many women infected with Ebola decide to get abortions because the virus can be passed down to the child. During the later stage of Ebola the illness may become a hemorrhagic issue that consists of epistaxis, hematuria, hematemesis, petechiae, melena, and mucous membrane and conjunctival hemorrhage (World Health Organization 1997). Hemorrhaging usually occurs from the gastrointestinal tract, lungs, and gingiva. Patients who have a strong immune system, their body response to the virus will begin in 7 to 10 days and start a period of slow recovery involving complications such as weakness, fatigue, hepatitis, uveitis, and other clinical sequelae (Borio and others 2002). Patients who do not improve by the 1st week usually experience multiorgan failure and die from hypovolemic shock, with or without blood loss (World Health Organization
The Ebola Virus is an extremely deadly virus found in Africa. There have been multiple outbreaks across Africa and one in the United States. The Ebola virus basically causes uncontrollable bleeding externally and internally. Then your organs become liquefied. This usually results in death(www.encyclopedia.com). The following report contains info on the characteristics and history of the Ebola Virus.
