Killing Machine:
Something that cannot be curable has the right to be labelled a killing machine, however 1.5 million deaths occur in a year from a disease that has a cure and is curable. I’m taking about Tuberculosis (TB), a disease from the past yet it still affects our present.
Robyn Williams’ (presenter of the science show on ABC) interview with Greg Cook (Professor of Microbiology at University of Otago) provided insight into a more faster and cheaper alternative to the current TB treatments out there today. The team at the University is studying a cellular enzyme with targets the enzymes in Tuberculosis bacterium rather than the current treatments which affects normal cells in patients which makes the patients feel weak. This new treatment will revolutionise treatment in countries with financial difficulties and can help to reduce resistant strains of TB bacterium.

The answer, 10 million new cases of TB are recorded every year, of which 5% are drug resistant and in countries like china and Myanmar this number increases. Time is a major limiting factor when it comes to providing effective treatment for TB. It will take around six months for a short-term treatment for TB, however if the TB strain is drug resistant this increases to anywhere between 12 – 24 months. This is a major concern in countries like Myanmar where there is no social welfare system to support the families going through the treatment. So, what happens in many cases is that the patients don’t take the necessary drugs as they cannot afford not to go to

Its epidemiological importance is illustrated by World Health Organization Prevention of Tuberculosis includes better living conditions, proper nutrition, and positive health practices” (Fogel, 2015, p.530). Positive health practices include covering nose and mouth when coughing and frequent hand washing. Bacille Calmette-Gurin (BCG) vaccine tends to be given in other countries. Tuberculosis is known as one of the main causes of mortality in the world. This communicable disease is a serious public health conundrum. “The disease still puts a strain on public health, being only second to HIV/AIDS in causing high mortality rates” (Matteelli, Roggi, & Carvalho, 2014, p.
The vulnerable populations studied are immigrants primarily Hispanic and Latinos with tuberculosis. The goal is to teach immigrants on how to prevent the spreading of TB and how to prevent the disease.
Tuberculosis is an infectious disease caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Infectious Disease – The Never-ending Threat). It is acquired by inhalation and is spreadable. The City of Toronto in accordance with Toronto Public Health have in place different specialty teams in regards to Tuberculosis (TB) who work together to provide support for individuals with TB as well as their families and to help prevent the spread of TB in Toronto (City of Toronto). Specifically, Toronto Public Health has a designated homeless and corrections team who manage TB disease and infection within the homeless/under-housed and corrections populations. Within this program, they use many environmental guidelines to access and diminish in the

Throughout our lives, we carry and value our own beliefs. As we face different challenges, we may be persuaded into making certain choices. However, no matter how convincing a person may be, in the end we always have the last word. Nobody likes being told what to do but we do like to hear other opinions for a different perspective. The proper way of using rhetoric is through a confident tone that is knowledgeable of their topic. The speaker should have integrity and be selfless in the sense that they are understanding towards their audience.
Establish and contribute a shared voice for TB Controllers to go forward and promote a TB control and activities for elimination in the United States.
Education can be a powerful weapon in fighting tuberculosis in the United States also around the world. Today, it is encouraging how so many people know how TB contracts human and what cause drug resistant effects among those who are under TB treatment.
The first thing that I wanted to be when I was to become a dog hero.I wanted to spend my life saving every dog out there. But as I grew up and became involved with PAWS I discovered that it was impossible to save every dog out there. I thought of the best way that I can help my dog and other dogs out there from animal abuse or neglect. So how could we possibly save dogs and be their hero? So I am here to tell you about how can you be a dog hero through spaying/neutering. The main point of my speech are the health benefits for your pets, how it prevents animal cruelty, how it gives a chance for other dogs to have a home. Going into my first point spaying your female pets and neutering your

Is Godzilla a representation of a metaphor based on the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan? This representation is brought to life in the 1954 Japanese original film "Godzilla” directed by Ishirō Honda. This essay will argue that Godzilla is portrayed as a metaphor produced by the bombings of Hiroshima, Nagasaki, as well as a Hydrogen bomb that was tested too close to a Japanese fishing vessel, Godzilla proves that Japan is cursed by the incidents that occurred on August 6-9th, 1945 and March 1st, 1954.

There are several ways to prevent tuberculosis. One is to control existing infections from those infected including people, pets, and cows. Unfortunately, more than 1/3 of the population has tuberculosis, making it hard to contain every case of tuberculosis. The BCG vaccine exists, but it is not very useful in countries like the US. The body’s defenses against tuberculosis are effective but fail once the immune system becomes suppressed. Antibiotics can be used to help prevent tuberculosis, but tuberculosis quickly grows resistant to antibiotics. Much needed research is being done to find a way to fight off and prevent tuberculosis.
