The Morley Academy A2 Level Health & Social Care Unit 9- Investigating Diseases A01 In my unit 9 assignment I will be looking at and comparing communicable and non-communicable diseases. I will also be looking at two different diseases and the differences between them and their signs and symptoms. Section A (AO1): I will be focusing on communicable and non-communicable diseases are, how they are caused, types of them and the signs and symptoms of one of each and also how they are diagnosed. Section B (A02): I will be focusing on how diseases are distributed within the population, factors affecting the cause and distribution of diseases and compare the differences between my two chosen diseases (one communicable and one …show more content…
* Indirect transmission Indirect transmission of infectious organisms involves vehicles and vectors which carry disease agents from the source to the host. Non-communicable diseases A non-communicable disease (NCD) is defined as a disease which is not infectious. Such diseases may result from genetic or lifestyle factors. Such diseases may result from genetic or lifestyle factors. Current evidence indicates that four types of NCDs (i.e. cardiovascular diseases, cancers, diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases) account for almost two third of all deaths globally, with 80 per cent of these deaths occurring in low-income and middle-income countries. NCDs are a leading threat to health and development. Yet, these diseases are preventable. By eliminating shared risk factors such as tobacco use, unhealthy diet, physical inactivity and the harmful use of alcohol, almost 80 per cent of heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes and over a third of all cancers could be prevented. In addition, improved disease management can reduce morbidity, disability and death and contribute to better health outcomes. Overall, proven cost-effective strategies do exist to prevent and control this growing burden. There are four types of non-communicable diseases: Degenerative Diseases: A degenerative disease is a
This essay will explain the physiologies of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system and how they work in the metabolism of energy in the body.
1. Understanding epidemiologic concepts of the chain of transmission of organisms from host to victim, describe how EH could have been infected.
| |Define basic terms related to the origin, onset, and outcome of diseases. | | |
Provide some examples of sources of infection for novel diseases, including the mode of transmission for WNV. Why is this concern?
In this essay I am going to talk the patterns and trends of health and ill health among different social groupings. I will talk about each pattern and trend in its own paragraph, Social class, Gender, Ethnicity, Age and Geographical location. I will talk about the links between these to health issues. I will back these up through the use of evidence such as statistics. I will then conclude what I have found out. Firstly I will talk about each pattern and trend.
Communicable disease outbreak occurs when there is a larger then expected incidence of a disease. It can affect a small group or thousands of people in a region. In some instances even just two independent cases can lead to an outbreak, eventually leading to an epidemic, or pandemic which refers to a global outbreak. Measles is a communicable disease that is highly contagious according to the World Health Organization (WHO). The good news is that it is a preventable disease, because there is a vaccine that is available to prevent people from contracting it. One complication that arises is when some people
3. What are example(s) of morbidity, mortality, and rate of incidence or rate of occurrence in the general population?
The sources of infection can be divided in two main groups. These are exogeneous and endogeneous sources. A source of the infection is
Information to get you started is located in the case study section in the back of the book on page 134. Answer the three questions listed on page 135. (The first question begins with 1: Do you think that an infected …).
Select two (2) of the health and safety policies in your centre. Identify which ECE licensing criterion they relate to and explain your roles and responsibilities as an early childhood teacher in implementing these policies to maintain a safe and healthy environment. Describe the learning opportunities for children that can be promoted, which align with the health and safety policies you have selected.
Yes, I am back. And, here's the part-3 of "All the "Hard Questions" to ask from Removalists Melbourne." In the last article, I stopped with "Questions to ask Removalists Melbourne when getting quotes" point 1. Let's start from point 2.
In this assignment I am going to describe the current patterns of ill health and how they are monitored, I will also compare historical and current features of public health. Through the past century the health of the public has changed dramatically with such issues as polio, measles, rubella and other infectious diseases have almost been eradicated but now such issues are arising being; obesity, alcohol abuse, smoking, an aging demographical , mental health and dental issues. All the issues that have been mentioned above have influence a rise in such conditions as coronary heart disease, diabetes type two and cancer. Compare to now and the early 19th and 20th century, a number of infectious diseases was the cause of death with not
Pathogenesis: The case study identifies a given disease. How does this disease process evolve? Describe the sequence of cellular and tissue events that take place from the time of initial contact with an etiological agent until the ultimate expression of a disease. (25 pts.) (Brittany, Jillian)
Readings within your text covering international/global health and the following websites will assist you in answering these questions:
The epidemiology triangle has three sides. The sides consist of the host, the agent and the environment. The host is the person who is affected by the disease. The agent is the organism causing the disease. “In the case of type II diabetes, the agent could be the absence of a substance.” (McMurray, 2006). The agent interacts with the host and the environment to cause the disease. The environment is all the outside conditions that make the host susceptible to the agent. One condition of the environment could be the health of the host.
