The basic definition of myopathy is a disorder of the muscles usually causing muscle weakness. There are many different types of myopathy; however the three that will be discussed are inflammatory, congenital, and mitochondrial. Inflammatory Myopathy is the inflammation of the muscles. Congenital Myopathy is a delay in motor skills, skeletal and facial abnormalities which are shown at birth. Mitochondrial Myopathies are caused by genetic abnormalities. The history of myopathy is quite unclear; however
mixed into teas to help stem inflammation as well as detoxifying the body. Nettle Tea Stinging nettle is a prickly plant that has been found helpful in relieving discomfort particularly in the joints. It contains active compounds that reduces inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are the messengers between the cells that causes inflammation due to immune response. The compound found in nettle leaves inhibits the protein that activates cytokines in the tissues lining the joints. Nettle tea may not sound
Gonorrhea, oldest of the sexual diseases since the medieval times, which is also called the “clap” or “drip” before it was discovered. The earliest record of the disease is found from 1611 when the English Parliament made a law to make sure that the contagious infection was reduced. Since then we have come a long way to discover various amounts of antibiotics to cure it along with learning about symptoms and how to avoid coming in contact with it. If gonorrhea isn’t taken care of properly and as
Neisseria gonorrhoeae is a bacterium that is part of the Proteobacteria group in the Bacteria domain of the phylogenetic tree. The Proteobacteria group has five different groups, which are the Betaproteobacteria, Alphaproteobacteria, Epsilonproteobacteria, Deltaproteobacteria, and Gammaproteobacteria. Neisseria gonorrhoeae is part of the Betaproteobacteria group because it is a Gram-negative Bacteria and is most similar to other bacteria in that group. Betaproteobacteria are also known for their
conceive children. Women usually can experience the following physical complications: cervical, ovarian, and liver cancer, uterine perforation, cervical lacerations, placenta previa, premature delivery with the next baby, an ectopic pregnancy, pelvic inflammatory disease, endometritis, and lower general health. In the end, I think women should be punished for abortions. Abortions are not always the best option for getting rid of babies. The Bible hints at it as well as many other people. Countries also
today. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that more than 4 million new cases occur each year. The highest rates of chlamydial infection are in 15 to 19-year old adolescents regardless of demographics or location. Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a serious complication of chlamydial infection, has emerged as a major cause of infertility among women of childbearing age. Chlamydial infection is caused by a bacterium, Chlamydial trachomatis, and can be transmitted during vaginal
large intestine which can cause many problems for absorption. When the disease causes the intestine to swell it can also be very problematic because the large intestine wouldn’t be able to function properly. Crohn’s disease is considered as an inflammatory bowel disease. The cause of Crohn’s disease is unknown and there is no proof that the disease is caused by an infection. At the same time researchers have found that it is the result of an abnormal reaction by the body’s immune system. They think
STDs (Sexually Transmitted Diseases) are diseases which primarily are transmitted while in the act of sexual means such as oral, anal, kissing and genital contact. One of the most commonly reported STD in the United States is Chlamydia. The number of this infection is gradually increasing worldwide and costing billions of dollars to health care systems. Today, there is not set type of screening practice or a vaccine available for this infection to decrease globally. Presently, the only treatment
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is a common disease that affects thousands of people in North America every year. It is a name for a group of similar disorders, the two main types of inflammatory bowel disease are Crohn's disease and Ulcerative colitis. Both disorders cause parts of the digestive tract to become inflamed. There are many forms of ulcerative colitis, I have listed some below: Ulcerative Proctitis: Inflammation located in the rectum. In mild cases it causes rectal bleeding, but
Crohn’s Disease: Nutritional Management Orlando Valdes Florida National University Crohn’s Disease: Nutritional Management Introduction Crohn’s disease – is the chronic inflammatory disease of the gastrointestinal tract. In 1932, gastroenterologist Burrill Bernard Crohn described the granulomatous inflammation of the ileum, which was called terminal ileitis. Later on, it was discovered that terminal ileitis is only one of the forms of the Crohn’s disease. The nature of the Crohn’s
Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a non-curable chronic inflammatory condition that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract. Symptoms include diarrhea, nocturnal bowel movements, rectal bleeding, and abdominal pain. Nevertheless, even when the gastrointestinal symptoms are in clinical remission, fatigue can remain a dominant symptom and have a dramatically negative impact on quality of life for many patients. Recently we examined the prevalence of fatigue in our population
The Sexually Transmitted Disease I chose is Mucopurulent Cervicitis. It is also known as MPC. According to University of South Carolina Student Health Services website, “Mucopurulent Cervicitis is often cause by inflection and the infection can be caused by a number of different organisms”1, but then the “cause can be unknown or unclear”.1 I think that this is a contradicting statement. The article when on to say that “chlamydia, gonorrhea, trichomonas, or herpes can cause Mucopurulent Cervicitis

Crohn's Disease Crohn's disease is the generic name for regional enteritis, which is a type of Irritable Bowel Disease. The initial onset of this disease is between the ages of 15 to 30 years old with about 4 out of 1000 people being affected (CDC, 2014). The CDC (2014) also states that the United States has a “1.7 billon dollar” annual financial burden resulting from ”700,000 physician visits, 100,000 hospitalizations, and disability in 119,000 patients” yearly. There is presently no cure for Crohn's
Approximately 1 million new cases of this disease are reported each year in the United States, and public health experts estimate that an additional million or more gonorrhea infections go unreported each year. Although these numbers seem very large, the disease occurs less frequently now than it did in the early 1980s. The rate of infection among young unmarried people between the ages of 15 and 24, however it remains very high. Study results released in 1988 by the National Academy
The anachronism IBD stands for Inflammatory Bowel Disease, the two main IBDs are Chron’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis, both of which are considered to be primary autoimmune disorders. These occur when the immune system mistakenly targets and damages healthy tissue and cells. IBD symptoms and onset can occur at any time of life but most commonly present as a young adult, aged 15-30, although a later life peak between the ages of 50-70 has also been observed, at a much lower incidence. The common
with the doctor. However, there are several diseases that affect the human female body. Pelvic inflammatory disease is one of many diseases that affect the female reproductive system, and it is a disease women should be concerned with. Pelvic inflammatory disease is an infectious disease that invades the female reproductive organs such as the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Pelvic inflammatory disease also known as PID, is caused by infectious bacteria such as Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is a nerve disorder that causes long-lasting (chronic) pain, usually in a hand, arm, leg, or foot. CRPS usually follows an injury or trauma, such as a fracture or sprain. There are two types of CRPS: Type 1. This type occurs after an injury or trauma with no known damage to a nerve. Type 2. This type occurs after injury or trauma damages a nerve. There are three stages of the condition: Stage 1. This stage, called
Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is a chronic and relapsing gastrointestinal condition currently affecting a total of about 28 million people worldwide (cite). Although it is not considered a fatal condition, painful and disabling symptoms can have a profound detrimental effect on patients’ quality of life. Current understandings behind the etiology of IBD emphasize genetic predispositions to gastrointestinal immune system imbalances. However, pathophysiological understandings of IBD seem to be limited
second week of my placement, I was asked to bed-bath an 85 year male old patient in my bay, in the ward and get him ready for breakfast. This patient had, had a bowel surgery and as a result he had a stoma bag on. This patient was diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) IN 2010, but his condition had grown worse over the years. IBD mainly refers to Ulcerative Colitis (UC) and Crohns disease (CD). However, this patient had Crohns disease. I was asked to bed-bath him by my mentor while she was
