Encephalitis

After transmission, there are many different symptoms Rift Valley fever can cause when infecting its host. Not only can they differ between humans and animals, but within those units individuals can experience a wide variety of symptoms ranging from those as mild as headaches and nausea to those more extreme such as meningitis and death. Although throughout history only about 2% of humans infected happened to be fatal, the other 98% suffered through a wide variation of symptoms that focused on

This is positive in a sense that there are lower heating/energy bills, because the North is used to having such long, cold and prolonged Winters (NOAA, 2017). However, an opposing effect is with the insufficiency of moisture and snow, droughts begin to take place and the ski industry lacks in business. The mid-west of the United States is not effected by El Niño as much as the other portions of North America are. Generally speaking, there are usually above-average temperatures in the Northern Plains

Significant experiences, whether physical, mental, or emotional, have remarkable consequences on a person. Sometimes they may result in negative consequences, like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), that only decrease the quality of life of an individual. In many other cases, though, when recovery has been successful, many people give back to the community in order to help others with similar experiences. As I read Part 3: In Search of Lost Time, Susannah Cahalan’s recovery depended very much

hallucinations that they interpreted incorrectly. Some historians believe that a fungus called ergot grew on the rye the girls ate, and caused erratic behavior (Source D). “Another possibility is that the girls contracted encephalitis, a disease carried by mosquitoes. Encephalitis can cause fever, headaches and confusion” (Source E). While these are plausible explanations for the hysteria in Salem, I do not think they were the actual cause. If it were truly a physical ailment, more people would have

Encephalitis • Withhold nivolumab for new-onset moderate to severe neurologic signs/symptoms • evaluate to rule out infection or other neurologic causes. • For confirmed immune-mediated encephalitis felt to be caused by nivolumab, administer corticosteroids (prednisone 1 to 2 mg/kg/day or equivalent), followed by a corticosteroid taper • Permanently

There have been many complaints and worries about immunization programs; that vaccinations don’t work or that they give out possible negative side effects. Recently the use of vaccines has been going downhill because of those thoughts. If just one person goes around saying that a vaccine made them sick then other people believe it and stop getting vaccines. However, there have been studies that show that vaccines actually have helped throughout the years with different epidemics and diseases. The

The Exchange of Disease: Encounters between Europeans and Native Americans in the Colonial Era Before the arrival of the Europeans, the Native Americans were mostly free of serious diseases. In the 1500s, the Europeans’ arrival changed the lives of the Native Americans forever. With them, they brought disease as well as ways of life that the Native Americans had never experienced. So, why did the Europeans sail to the Americas? Millions of years ago, continental drift carried North and

bewitchment and soon after many other girls began displaying the same symptoms. It is theorized that these trials were either took place because of an economic downturn caused by an “ice age” or by fungus poisoning and the undiagnosed disease called encephalitis. Emily Outer states that “The economic hardships and slowdown of population growth could have caused widespread scapegoating which, during this period, manifested itself as persecution of so-called witches, due to the widely accepted belief 3

From the beginning of time there has been conflict between the views of different people and their different groups. Conflict has brought prejudice and fear into communities around the world. As conflict is an inescapable part of any society, it can be expected to extend to the greatest impact possible. The Salem Witch Trials are one such conflict. This conflict caused many to be accused, arrested, and killed. Because of social, economic, religious, and physical problems within the community, Salem
