caused by allergies, viruses, or bacterial infection. Individuals usually experience eye redness, itchiness, and irritation. Occasionally, the eye will feel as if there is sand in it. Severe causes of red eye that can lead to visual loss include keratitis, iritis, and acute angle-closure glaucoma. These conditions require emergent referral to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist). Due to the importance of this condition, it is critical that patients understand its causes, symptoms, and treatment.

Red Eye Our senses are very important because they allow us to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. The most important sensory organ is the eye. It is the organ of vision, and it is very sensitive. Due to that, we should protect our eyes from diseases; such as, macular edema, cataract, macular dry enteration, and red eye. We have all experienced red eye from time to time, affecting one or both eyes. Red eye is cardinal sign of ocular information. It accrues when the vessels in the eye become swollen
Introduction: Onchocerciasis is a disease of public health and socio-economic importance in Ethiopia. Onchocerciasis, commonly known as “river blindness” is caused by the parasitic worm Onchocerca volvulus it is transmitted to humans by a bite from infected black flies. Worm larvae that are transmitted develop into adults and settle into the fibrous nodules on the human body and produce microfilariae. Prolonged infection to the parasitic worm can lead to blindness and depigmentation of the skin.
well-to-do upper-middle-class family. His father, Leonard Huxley, was a biographer, editor, and poet. He first studied at Eton College, Berkshire (1908-13). When Huxley was fourteen his mother died. At the age of 16 Huxley suffered an attack of keratitis punctata and became for a period of about 18 months totally blind. By using special glasses and one eye recovered sufficiently he was able to read and he also learned Braille. Despite a condition of near-blindness, Huxley continued his studies at
Microbial Contamination of Contact Lens Storage Cases Contact lenses have become widely known as a great vision corrector for many eyeglass wearers. However, the use of contact lenses can sometimes cause extreme eye infections, such as microbial keratitis, which results in blindness. In the article, “Microbial Contamination of Contact Lens Storage Cases,” scientists are detecting the amount of microbes contained in contact lens storage cases (CLSC) using local tap water and solutions (Üstüntürk, 2012)
Our senses are very important because they allow us to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch so we can experience the life around us. The eye is the most important sensory organ. It is the organ of vision, and it is very sensitive. Therefore, we should protect our eyes from diseases; such as, macular edema, cataract, macular dry enteration, and red eye. We have all experienced red eye at least once in our life, affecting one or both eyes. That makes us wondering, what is Red eye? What can cause it?
grandfather. In Brave New World, Mr. Huxley explains in the book that a lot of kids were playing in a field playing different games and he shows that due to the fact that he did not have much of a childhood, as he was diagnosed with a disease called keratitis punctata, which made him partially blind the rest of his life. Though most people would think the disease would have stopped him at a young age, but the disease made him getting some of his best work after he was diagnosed. Mr. Huxley was able to
started a school for girls and that is where Huxley first started to bloom. In 1908 his mother died of cancer and she told Huxley, “Don’t be too critical of people and love much” (Garrett 87). His academic career was stopped in 1911 when he got Keratitis punctata (an eye ailment). It left him blinded but he still stayed in school. He had two tutors, his homework and braille. In 1913, he stayed with his brother while his vision improved. He started to travel more when his father remarried (Garrett
Chlorofluorocarbons [CFCs], commonly known as Freon, are a type of organic compounds that are made up of carbon, chlorine, and fluorine atoms. Their significant properties include low volatility of approximately 0℃, together with being tasteless, odourless, non-flammable, nontoxic, and chemically stable. They have supported the society for years through the form of a refrigerant, a solvent and a propellant. Moreover, they have contributed to the industrialization of nations, especially during the
Huxley contracted keratitis, an eye disease resulting in near blindness, which resulted in Huxley’s abandonment of the conformity of the everyday person, of the practice of science, and pushed for his involvement in English and in writing. “My ambition and pleasure are to understand
Contact Lens Complications The last 20 years has seen a tremendous increase in the use of contact lenses. Despite the recent trend towards fashionable eyewear and the advances in refractive surgeries, there are still approximately 1 million Australians who are currently wearing contact lenses. This is partly because of the variety of lens materials, replacement schedules, specialty designs, and convenient contact lens care systems available today. While there are many benefits of contact lenses
in 1931 and published in 1932. Huxley was born in Godalming in the Surrey County in southern England. Huxley was the son of an English schoolteacher, Julia Arnold, and a writer, Leonard. Huxley intended to become a doctor. But having contracted keratitis, which is an eye disease resulting in near blindness, he was forced to change his profession. He learned to read Braille; after two years he had improved appropriately so he could read with a magnifying glass (). He then attended Balliol College

Cogan syndrome It is the disease of interstitial keratitis with deafness and vertigo attacks. Ataxic incidents may occasionally report. Abnormal MRI scans are of rare complaints. Deafness is very rare incidence in multiple sclerosis. Plus, cerebrospinal fluid readings are normal.
Rosaline Fernandes Disease Report Infectious diseases are disorders caused by organisms — such as bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. Numerous life forms live in and on our bodies. They're ordinarily safe or even supportive, yet under specific conditions, a few life forms may bring about disease. Some irresistible illnesses can be gone from individual to individual. Some are transmitted by chomps from creepy crawlies or creatures. Also, others are obtained by ingesting polluted sustenance or
By looking at Brave New World, one can see that Aldous Huxley included the themes of fundamentals and universal ideas, because he’s superficial and always thinks about society and the future of our society. Aldous Huxley was an author born July 26, 1894, in the village of Godalming, Surrey, England. Aldous Huxley is the third son of Leonard Huxley, a writer, editor, and teacher, Young Aldous Huxley, grew up in a family of well-connected, well-known writers, scientist, and educators. Aldous Huxley
In today’s world, the incidence rate of infectious diseases is declining rapidly. The leading cause of mortality and morbidity are non-infectious diseases, but there still remains a challenge to our society with some of the infectious diseases. Among them Herpes Zoster is one. Studies have reported that herpes zoster, which is commonly known as Shingles was the cause of the reactivation of varicella zoster virus (VZV) 1, 2,3In early childhood, the VZV causes chicken pox and after infection, it remains
Literature is both shaped by our culture and shapes it. Because of this it is an effective representation of the culture of a time. One can tell how people were affected by the events of the times by how it comes through in their writing. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a prime example of this. The work was targeted at people in a post WWI world. This is a time between WWI and WWII where the world is still shocked by how rapidly the science of war had advanced. People also continue to be appalled

known to be the main culprit of mycosis which causes aspergillosis. In Aspergillus species, A. flavus has become second cause of fungal infections in human. Mainly, usual syndromes clinically occuring, following trauma and inoculation which are keratitis, chronic granulomatous sinusitis, cutaneous aspergillosis, wound infections and osteomyelitis when talking about A. flavus infection. (Hedayati et al, 2007). Opportunistic fungal infections risk has greatly increased in severely immunocomsuppressed
