CORONARY DISEASE( circulation to cardiac muscle and surrounding ... It is already
the most common form of disease affecting the heart and an important cause
of premature death in Europe, the Baltic states, Russia, North and South
America, Australia and New Zealand. It has been predicted that all regions of
the world will be affected by 2020.
Glandular fever Glandular fever, or infectious mononucleosis, is sometimes called
the ‘kissing disease’, because it spreads by close contact and is most common
in teenagers and young adults. Swollen glands are a common feature of the
infection. Glands in the front and side of the neck and behind the ears are often
enlarged and tender. Glands in the armpit and groin might also be affected.
Influenza Influenza, often referred to as 'the flu', is a respiratory infection caused
by a distinct group of viruses, the influenza viruses. Infections with influenza
are usually more severe than those with other respiratory viruses and involve a
combination of respiratory (cough, sore throat) and constitutional (fever,
headache, muscle aches) symptoms. In older adults and people with a range of
pre-existing medical conditions, influenza infections can lead to serious and
even life threatening complications. A notable feature of influenza is that
repeated infections can occur throughout life.
INFLUENZA CHART
PREVENTIONS
People who contract influenza are most infective between the second
and third days after infection, and infectivity lasts for around ten days.[1]
Children are much more infectious than adults and shed virus
from just before they develop symptoms until two weeks after infection.[
1][2] The transmission of influenza can be modelled mathematically,
which helps predict how the virus will spread in a population.[3]
Influenza can be spread in three main ways:[4][5]
INFLUENZA
CAUSES
The flu virus is contained in
the millions of tiny droplets that
come out of the nose and mouth when someone coughs or sneezes.
These droplets typically spread about
Amantadine · Arbidol · Laninamivir
one metre (3ft). They hang suspended in
Oseltamivir · Peramivir · Rimantadine
the air for a while but then land on surfaces,
where the virus can survive for up to 24 hours.
Vitamin D · Zanamivir
Anyone who touches these surfaces can
spread the virus by touching anything else.
Everyday items at home and in public places may have traces of the virus. These
include food, door handles, the remote control, handrails and computer keyboards.
People usually become infected by picking up the virus on their hands from contaminated objects and then placing
their hands near their mouth or nose. It is also possible to breathe in the virus if it is suspended in airborne droplets.
