HIV and AIDS - We are Close to a Cure
AIDS is a major disease that has threatened the world's population but many scientists believe that a cure is in sight. These scientists say they have developed a vaccine that will cure a dying AIDS patient. They also believe that have created a vaccine that will prevent a person from contracting the virus.
AIDS stands for Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome. Acquired stands for that the disease is not hereditary but develops after birth from contact with a disease causing agent in this case, HIV. Immunodeficiency means that the disease is characterized by a weakening of the immune system. Syndrome means a group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease. In AIDS this can include the development of certain infections and cancers, as well as a decrease in the number of certain cells in a person?s immune system (What is AIDS).
HIV is transmitted in many different ways. It can be spread by sexual contact with an infected person, or by sharing needles. It is less common now because blood is now screened for the virus through blood transfusion. Babies that are born to HIV infected women may become infected before or during birth or through breast-feeding. Doctors and nurses have also been infected at the work place. They can be infected by being stuck with a needle containing HIV-infected blood. Sometimes workers can get infected through open wounds. There is only one case in the U.S. in which a patient has been infected by the worker (HIV and Its Transmission).
This involved one infected dentist infecting six of his patients. Some people fear that HIV might be transmitted in other ways, but there is no proof to support it. If HIV was being transmitted through other common ways such as through the air, water, or insects the cases of HIV and AIDS cases would be much higher than they already are (HIV and Its Transmission).
Many people are ashamed to admit to family and, loved ones that they are infected or may be infected. For example, Monica was fifteen years old when she became infected. She wrote about how she became infected ?My best friend who is a male has AIDS and we were really close so one night we experimented and after the fact that we did it he told me he had AIDS. I was so angry at him and scared.
It is crucial to understand that, unlike most transmissible diseases, AIDS/HIV is not transmitted through sneezing, coughing, eating or drinking from common utensils, or even being around an infected person. Casual contact with AIDS/HIV infected persons does not place others at risk. HIV/AIDS can be passed through unprotected sex with an infected person, sharing contaminated needles, from infected mother to baby during pregnancy, birth or breastfeeding, and through direct exposure to infected blood or blood
So what about a persons mind? How does the mind relate to all these body parts and functions. The mind always relates in mental processes. It also functions through thought and a persons consciousness. The brain on the other hand is about matter and different parts that all have roles and responsibilities. The long time debate about mind, body and soul can be summed up by asking the question of which one of these is in charge. Are each of these different? Are they the same? Or how do they
The brain is such a complex and interesting thing to learn about. I learned a lot through the three- dimensional brain activity. Starting with the frontal lobe. The frontal lobes are located under the forehead. These lobes play a key role in movement and reasoning. They are also connected with the limbic system. The parietal lobe is at the top of the head. The parietal lobe gets its intel from the skin, it is very important to processing touch and helping determine how hot or cold it is and the pain in our body. The parietal lobe works with primary motor skills which are in charge of our voluntary actions. The temporal lobes are on the sides of the head. The temporal lobes are very important to speech and hearing. Within the temporal is the auditory center, this is what processes the nerve impulses sent from the ears.
In conclusion, physical activity in schools is beneficial for student’s wellbeing, academic performance and both psychological and physiological factors.
The Brainstem is located in the posterior region and in the lower section of the brain, it is in between the cerebrum and the spinal cord. This
One of the theorist I connect with is Florence Nightingale. As a nurse I believe your care should always be centered around the patient. We are there to serve no one else but the patient. And that is my number one priority. Many things impact recovery. Nightingale’s Environmental Theory (as cited in Blais & Hayes, 2011) is centered to “utilize the environment of the patient to assist in recovery.”
It emphasizes that the environment (hygiene and sanitization) will help the individual recover on their time frame (McDonald, 2014). Nurses are able to maintain safety from disease as well (McDonald, 2014). Nightingale gave a useful and an insightful contribution to the length patients are sick, the amount of those sick in hospitals, and nurses developing disease by greatly decreasing it (McDonald, 2014). Her methods and principles have evolved for the better, and remain the central theory to all other theories for nursing practice and knowledge (McDonald,
This paper discussed Florence Nightingale’s Environmental Theory and why it would vital for an institution to implement this theory into practice. She defined ten chief ideas of the Environmental Theory which include: light and noise, health of houses, ventilation and warming, personal cleanliness, cleanliness of the area, offering hope and advice, bed and bedding, variety, food, and observation. Through her Environmental Theory, Florence Nightingale emphasized that the physical environment and how it is changed is a basic element of nursing care. She believed altering the environment according to her fundamental ideas would lead the patient on a path to recovery and reach optimal health. As a result of this, it is our recommendation that mindfulness concerning basic environmental hygiene should be given within the hospital setting. Studying Nightingale’s theory has helped solidify why it is an ideal basis for nursing practice and so widely used till this

The nervous system is primarily separated into the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system is composed of the brain, its nerve cranial and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system is made up of the spinal nerves that extent from the spinal cord and the autonomous nervous system separated from the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. Next would be the structure of the brain. The brain is designed by two different cells. The neurons and glial cells, otherwise known as neuroglia or glia. The neurons objective is to send and bring in nerve impulses and signals. Glial cells are non-neuronal cells that give support and nutritional value, maintains homeostasis, creates myelin and facilitates
Savada, Andrea Matles. 1993. Nepal And Bhutan: Country Studies. Washington DC: US Government Printing Office.
In a nut-shell, Nepal is rich with a wide variety of flora and fauna, Nepal beholds some of the rarest species like the one-horned Rhino, the Bengal tiger and their national flower Rhododendron. Nepal is truly a god’s playground and the country is beautiful with stunning landscapes, charismatic mountains and mesmerizing lakes.
The nervous system is a network of cells that take messages from the brain and spinal cord to other parts of the body. The nervous system is made up of the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System. The Central Nervous System has two main parts; the brain and the spinal cord. While the Peripheral Nervous System has the Somatic and the Autonomic Nervous systems included with in it.
The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system. The brain doesn't just control your organs, but also can think and remember. That part of the brain is called the mind.
The ability to let emotions go allows me to cleanse the pain within me, washing away the sadness and insecurity that builds up during stressful situations. Crying is really, in my opinion, an empathetic response to pain and an intense display of self reflection rooted in truth. Crying is an important part of who I am because it forces me into a state of serious honesty, a place where I don 't have to hide emotion or who I am as a person. Even though the act of crying may reveal potential insecurity and instability, when I cry I feel a sense of freedom and safety in the essence of vulnerability
