Humoral immunity is one in which, the immune attack is mediated by macromolecules called antibodies. The foreign agents dealt by them are called antigens. The antigen –antibody reactions are highly specific. The reaction is classified into many types based on the physical properties of the antigen (soluble or insoluble) and the kind of antibody (IgG, IgM, etc) involved. When bivalent (IgG) or multivalent (IgM) antibodies binds to many antigens molecules, they are brought together in space and adhere to each other forming agglutinins. IgM is good at causing agglutination because they have more antigen binding site. Agglutination Continue reading...

Postpartum Depression

Mood disorders are common amongst women in the postpartum period. There are three major categories of postpartum affective disorders: postpartum blues, postpartum depression, and postpartum psychosis (Brockington, 2004). An estimated 85% of all new mothers report experiencing some form of postpartum blues. Symptoms of postpartum blues are mild as compared to those of postpartum depression and include irritability, mood lability, and emotional hypersensitivity. The symptoms of postpartum blues occur within 2-4 days of delivery and resolve within days (World Health Organization (WHO), 2009). Postpartum psychosis is rare; it affects 1-2 women /1000 births. Its clinical onset is relatively fast Continue reading...

COPD is a blanket term that encompasses and is characterized by chronic conditions such as bronchitis and emphysema (Sherwood 2010, p. 474).

Abstract
The paper discusses the childhood autism spectrum disorders and its sign and symptoms and treatment.Recent years have seen a marked increase in autism range of children around the world. For many years, psychiatrists linked infantile autism with schizophrenia. There was even a terminological "confusion", as the term "autism" therapists represent pathognomonic symptom of schizophrenia in which the patient loses touch with reality and gradually loses the need to communicate with strangers at first, and then with close relatives. Kanner used the term "infantile autism" as the name of the disorder, Continue reading...

In fact, about 30% of youths nowadays are more likely to undergo psychological disorder once they reach the age of 16 (Weis, 2014, p.3). The most of common of these are anxiety disorders, such as phobias and separation anxiety, including Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), as well as complications in conduct like oppositional and aggressive behaviors. This is usually complex, since psychological disorders can largely affect the children’s quality of life, and it can Continue reading...

Autism is a developmental disability that causes problems in social, communication and behavioral skills. It is diagnosed in early childhood, around ages 2 to 9 (Lord et al.). Scientists agree that the causes of Autism are genetic, although there is no concrete evidence at this time. There is no cure for Autism. The incidence for Autism is 1 in 68 children. Autism tends to affect more boys than girls (Center for Disease Control). The chances for the appearance of Autism is often higher in children who have a sibling who is Autistic and in children with older parents. The Continue reading...

Disease Description

Lymphatic chronic filariasis is the main cause of elephantiasis due to occlusion of lymphatic vessels by the worms. It causes disfiguring of the affected part of the body due to edema and skin thickening. The Culex mosquito, the Anopheles and the Aedes mosquito are the vectors carrying the parasites at specific stages of their development. Elephantiasis causes peripheral edema of the upper limbs and the lower limbs. Filariasis infection mainly affects the lymphatic system. It plays a major role in regulating tissue pressure, regulating the immune system and absorption of dietary fat in the intestines. Lymphatic vessels carry lymph from the interstitial spaces. The spleen together with other lymph nodes produces white blood cell that protect the body from bacteria. According to Mohan, Bisht, Goel & Garg (2012) women have a reduced incidence of filarial infection as compared to men. However, due to the chance of developing vulva filariasis, the complications are often worse than those in men.

Part A: Evaluating the importance of government initiatives pertaining to the coding functions

Medicare and Medicaid patient and Program Protection Act of 1987
This initiative enhances comprehensive effort to expand access to healthcare coverage. The access of this health is also ensured at affordable care act. The act also offers voluntary nature of the medical program and hence government states can remain free or decline federal funding to such programs. The patient protection also ensures that health records of patients are well protected against access by illegal individuals unless authorized by the patient in question.

Introduction
Identifying the causative agent of infection is essential for successful diagnosis, targeted antibiotic treatment and epidemiological investigations (Mullis and Faloona, 1987). Most of the microorganisms are slow-growing or nonculturable microorganisms and thus make their identification difficult (Mullis and Faloona, 1987; Li et al, 2008). The process of genotyping using molecular based techniques provide a suitable alternate and allow the identification of the entire microorganism based on their genetic constituents (Tenover et al, 1997). Nonspecific molecular analysis using broad range PCR is based on the conserved sequence thus detect any kind of bacterial DNA present in a sample through Continue reading...

Introduction

Owing to the nature of the healthcare industry, projects focused on enhancing performance are subject to various stakeholders’ interests. Thus, projects have varying effects on various stakeholders while stakeholders have varying influence on the project. In that view, it is crucial to identify the various stakeholders’ needs as are the determiner of the effect that the project has on them as well as the influence that they have on it. With that understanding, the development of a Cancer Center at the University of Miami Hospital will require identification of the key stakeholders’ needs and determining how to address them.

Introduction

Retinopathy is a frequent complication of diabetes mellitus especially when blood sugar is poorly controlled. The retina is the part of the eye that transforms light into signals transmitted to the brain through the optic nerve (NHS UK 2013). The brain interprets the electrical signals into images corresponding to what was seen. While sufficient blood supply is needed for the retina to function optimally, chronic hyperglycaemia causes ischemia and bleeding in the retinal microvasculature leading to the formation of new capillaries meant to sustain blood circulation in the retina (Vithian & Hurel 2010). However, the new capillaries are fragile and Continue reading...
