CHRIS MEDINA - WHAT ARE WORDS

Anywhere you are, I am near

Anywhere you go, I’ll be there

Anytime you whisper my name, you’ll see

How every single promise I keep

Cuz what kind of guy would I be

If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words

If you really don’t mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they’re only for good times

Then they don’t

When it’s love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we’re gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me

And I know I’m meant to be where I am

And I’m gonna be

Standing right beside her tonight

And I’m gonna be by your side

I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words

If you really don’t mean them

When you say them

What are words

If they’re only for good times

Then they don’t

When it’s love

Yeah, you say them out loud

Those words, They never go away

They live on, even when we’re gone

Anywhere you are, I am near

Anywhere you go, I’ll be there

And I’m gonna be here forever more

Every single promise I keep

Cuz what kind of guy would I be

If I was to leave when you need me most

I’m forever keeping my angel close

INTODUCTION TO IMMUNOLOGY

Immunology

• ·        Science that study body defense mechanisms
• ·        Way in which we can stimulate these defenses to reduce the treat of disease.

Immune system

• ·        The molecules, cells, tissue and organs that collectively function to provide immunity, or protection, against foreign organisms.

Autoimmune disease

• ·        Disoder in which tissue injury is caused by an immunologic reaction of the host to its own tissues.

Immunodeficiency

• ·        Immune system’s ability to fight infectious disease is compromised or entirely absent. System errs by failing to protect the host from infectiuos agent or from malignant cells.

Important  of the immune system

• ·        It protect against disease by identifying and kiling pathogens.
• ·        It detect a wide variety of agents.
• ·        It needs to distinguish them from the organism’s own healty cells and tissues in order to function properly.

CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY

This course introduces the science of the basic immunology to the students. Topics to be discussed include antigen, antibody, immune response and hypersensitivity. Students are also exposed to some immunology and serology. Laboratory procedures.

CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY 2

Definition of Hereditary angioedema

Hereditary angioedema: A genetic form of angioedema. (Angioedema is also referred to as Quinke's disease.) Persons with it are born lacking an inhibitor protein (called C1 esterase inhibitor) that normally prevents activation of a cascade of proteins leading to the swelling of angioedema. Patients can develop recurrent attacks of swollen tissues, pain in the abdomen, and swelling of the voice box (larynx) which can compromise breathing. The diagnosis is suspected with a history of recurrent angioedema. It is confirmed by finding abnormally low levels of C1 esterase inhibitor in the blood. Treatment options include antihistamines and male steroids (androgens) that can also prevent the recurrent attacks. Also called hereditary angioneurotic edema.

Definition of Hemolytic anemia

Hemolytic anemia: Anemia due to the destruction (rather than underproduction) of red blood cells.

Definition of Hemoglobinuria

Hemoglobinuria: The presence of free hemoglobin in the urine, an abnormal finding, that may make the urine look dark. Hemoglobin is the protein in the red blood cells which carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues of the body and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. The iron contained in hemoglobin gives red blood cells their characteristic color.

Red blood cells are normally taken out of circulation after approximately 4 months; they are trapped and disassembled in the spleen, bone marrow, and liver. If, however, red cells hemolyze (break down) within the vascular system, the components are set free in the blood stream. Free hemoglobin is bound by haptoglobin (another protein) and reprocessed. But if the level of hemoglobin in the blood rises above the ability of haptoglobin to reclaim it, hemoglobin begins to appear in the urine -- there is hemoglobinuria.

Normally, there is no hemoglobin in the urine. Hemoglobinuria is a sign of a number of conditions including:

·         acute nephritis (acute glomerulonephritis),

·         burns,

·         kidney cancer,

·         malaria,

·         paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (dark urine in the morning that lightens up during the day),

·         the hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS),

·         pyelonephritis,

·         sickle cell anemia (or any other type of hemolytic anemia),

·         a transfusion reaction (due to an immune response against transfused red blood cells),

·         thrombotic thrombocytic purpura (TTP), and

·         tuberculosis of the urinary tract.

CLINICAL IMMUNOLOGY 1

What is Salmonella?

Salmonella (S.) is the genus name for a large number (over 2,500) of types of bacteria. Each type is distinctly identifiable by its specific protein coating. The types are otherwise closely related. Salmonellabacteria are rod-shaped, flagellated,Gram stain-negative, and are known to cause disease in humans, animals, and birds (especially poultry) worldwide. The two major diseases caused by Salmonella spp. are gastroenteritis and typhoid fever(typhoid and paratyphoid fevers) in humans.

Salmonella

Salmonella is the name of a group of bacteria. In the United States, it is the most common cause of foodborne illness. Salmonella occurs in raw poultry, eggs, beef, and sometimes on unwashed fruit and vegetables.

Symptoms include fever, diarrhea, abdominal cramps and headache. Symptoms usually last 4 - 7 days. Most people get better without treatment. It can be more serious in the elderly, infants and people with chronic conditions. If Salmonella gets into the bloodstream, it can be serious, or even life-threatening. The usual treatment is antibiotics.

What is infectious mononucleosis ("mono")?

Infectious mononucleosis, "mono," "kissing disease," and glandularfever are all terms popularly used for the very common illness caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBV is a member of the herpesvirus family. The characteristic symptoms of infection with EBV include fever,fatigue, malaise, and sore throat. The designation "mononucleosis" refers to an increase in one type of white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the bloodstream relative to the other blood components as a result of the EBV infection.

Infectious mononucleosis

Infectious mononucleosis, or "mono", is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. The virus spreads through saliva, which is why it's sometimes called "kissing disease." Mono occurs most often in 15 to 17-year-olds. However, you can get it at any age. Symptoms of mono include

·         Fever

·         Sore throat

·         Swollen lymph glands

Sometimes you may also have a swollen spleen. Serious problems are rare.

Mycoplasma: The mycoplasma are a very large group of bacteria. There are more than 70 types. Mycoplasma hominis and Mycoplasma pneumoniae are among the dozen types of mycoplasma that occur in humans.

Mycoplasma hominis is a common inhabitant of the vagina and can cause infections of the female and male genital tracts.

Mycoplasma pneumoniae can infect the upper respiratory tract and the lungs. It is a major cause of respiratory infection in children of school age and young adults. It is also a common cause of pneumonia in persons with HIV.

Certain antibiotics including tetracycline and erythromycin are frequently used to treat infection with Mycoplasma hominis or Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Mycoplasma are very simple one-celled organisms without an outer membrane. They penetrate and infect individual cells.

VDRL test: A blood test for syphilis (VDRL stands for Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) that detects an antibody that is present in the bloodstream when a patient has syphilis.

A negative (nonreactive) VDRL is compatible with a person not having syphilis, but in the early stages of the disease, the VDRL often gives false negative results. Conversely, a false positive VDRL can be encountered in infectious mononucleosis,lupus, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, hepatitis A, leprosy, malaria and, occasionally, pregnancy.
