Today we are going to talk about Polio, The scientific name for Polio is , Poliomyelitis . There are multiple symptoms such as fever ,Sore throat , headache , vomiting , Fatigue , back pain, neck pain , stiffness all over the body , pain in arms and legs , and muscle weakness. The polio virus can affect you spinal cord which is in charge of movement in your body . This ends up causing you to become paralyzed. In most cases some people will get deformed legs or arms . This would prevent them from walking and doing everyday task. You might be asking,“how do you even get Polio ?’, well you get it multiply was since the disease is viral . You can get polio from because around feces of an infected person or contaminated water that is attached …show more content…
Doctors normally diagnosed polio by the symptoms since it really obvious when it polio . The scans that your doctor may recommend is a MRI or a CT scan so they can see images of your brain and spinal cord. There are no treatments for polio so far but there are some ways that you can subside the symptoms . When you have polio the doctor usually puts you on bed rest because you can really move around because most of the time your paralaysted and so that you wont get anyone affected by it or spread it even more . You can also take pain relievers that will help with the pain in certain body parts .There is really not a lot of things that you can do such as changing your lifestyle or nutrition because once again it's a viral infection . Anyone can get the disease but it might infect kids , elders , or people with a very weak immune system . After the huge polio outbreak most people in the higher income countries was forced to get vaccinated , but in other countries that are low income did have to resources o get vaccinated so they have a higher chance to get it . Polio is no longer that common as it use to be a few years back but it still exist in poor countries
Polio, formerly known as poliomyelitis, an infectious viral disease that affects the central nervous system and can cause temporary or permanent paralysis. A debilitating disease that was once the affliction of our very own republic. David Oshinsky’s Polio: An American Story chronicles polio’s progression in the United States, a feat it does quite well throughout the course of the novel.
Moreover polio is a deadly disease that is caused by a highly contagious virus entering the nervous system in the brain or spinal cord causing temporary or permanent paralysis. There are three
Pain behind the ear on the affected side of the face which may occur a day or two before the paralysis begins.

One of the other notable important advances was the “Conquest of Polio” this disease usually caused paralysis in the people who contracted the virus. Back then there...
As you know autoimmune diseases are your immune auto-generate antibodies against cells of your body. In here, I don’t tell physiology of autoimmune diseases but I will tell one of most autoimmune diseases that is immune fertility disease. Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have found a new human protein, radical radial spoke protein 44 (RSP44) in July, 2007. RSP44 is antigen can be found in all men, residing in the sperm tail at the center of a structure known as the axoneme. Antigens can only stimulate antibody production when they come in contact with components of the blood. Under normal conditions, blood and sperm do not mix. Direct contact between the two is prevented by a cellular structure in the testes called
Poliomyelitis was the term used by doctors to describe the condition in which the gray (polios) anterior matter of the spinal chord (myelos) was inflamed (-itis). Until a cure was discovered, no one had the slightest idea where "polio" had come from or why it paralyzed so many children. People learned later that, oddly enough, it was the improved sanitary conditions which caused children to be attacked by the virus. Since people were no longer in contact with open sewers and other unsanitary conditions which had exposed them to small amounts of the polio virus as infants, when paralysis is rare, the dis...
Lupus is known as “the cruel mystery” in the world of disease/medicine. 1.5 million Americans are currently diagnosed with Lupus, with the number possibly being a lot higher since it is one of the most difficult diseases to diagnose in the WORLD (5 Million some form of Lupus)
The beginning of the process of perversion starts with an idea. It’s that first moment when a person starts to think doing something you consider as bad or something that goes against society’s views of right and wrong. In the Imp of the Perverse, that moment is when he (the character) considers confessing the murder out loud in public. However, in The Cask of Amontillado, Montresor contemplates on whether to enact revenge on Fortunato.
If I could have everyone's attention. Good-morning ladies and gentlemen. For those of you who don't know me my name is Jasmine Davenport. Today I’d like to discuss traumatic brain injury also referred to as TBI. I chose this topic because traumatic brain injury is a serious and complex injury with a broad spectrum of symptoms and disabilities. Traumatic brain injury effects people of all ages and is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. A traumatic brain injury can be caused by a blow or jolt to the head that disrupts normal functions of the brain Also, traumatic brain injury can cause physical, cognitive, social, emotional, and behavioral affects.
Symptoms of this plague are fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, and stiffness in the neck and pain in the limbs. But even though the polio virus does have symptoms about 90% of people do not experience any symptoms at all, which makes them very susceptible to unknowingly spreading the disease to love ones or strangers playing in his poop. Of those infected with polio only .05% of people come out with any major paralysis. And of the people that have been paralyzed only 5% to 10% will died from the respiratory system being paralyzed. Polio is transmitted from person to person through direct contact to the virus, and because the vast majority of people affected by polio are in developing countries, people don’t wash their hands after handling the disease which provides it another way of transmitting it. And because the disease lives in the intestine for the majority of its life, the only way to directly contact the virus is through stool samples. Doctors can tell that the disease affecting a person is polio through the symptoms and a stool sample. (Who, 2014).
In Conclusion, Understanding Polio’s etiology, history and epidemiology, as well as proper treatments will assist in avoiding its return. Although polio has been known to substantially affect a wide population in a small amount of time, eradication of this disease may also be accomplished in a short period of time. Scientists and medical professionals continue to research this disease in order to better understand and maintain it for many years to come. There are still aspect of the disease people do not understand that may be vital for the future of a polio-free world.
When hygienic conditions were poor polio attacked infants. The disease was spread by contaminated water and contact with fecal contamination. Many infants died when the conditions were poor. But as conditions improved the virus spread differently. It was spread more through playmates and family members, the contamination came from the nose and throat. By the early 1950s, twenty-five percent of paralytic cases occurred in people 21 years old or older.
