INTRODUCTION

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus, of HIV, is a deadly infectious disease that only human can contract and has become an epidemic according to several medical experts. Because it is an immunodeficiency disease, HIV profoundly weakens the immune system of the human by destroying significant cells that are meant to combat infection and disease (CDC, 2014). As such, if a person has a deficient immune system than they are vulnerable disease. As a virus, HIV takes a hold of a person by reproducing itself and seizing a person’s body. Like many other viruses, HIV often manifests itself first as Continue reading...

Analysis and Synthesis of Prior Research – Legal, Ethical, and Cultural Environment Impacts on the Healthcare System of Africa

Patient healthcare has for years been a source of debate for international communities. Social science has been aiming to make healthcare accessible to all; however, several legal, ethical, and cultural factors may still be limiting the provision of healthcare in some countries. A long wait before receiving the services, high costs of treatment, or inadequately compensated healthcare workers, may limit the number of patients who receive the desired level of medical attention and treatment. The number of factors affecting the provision of healthcare is enormous but each setting has its own set of issues, the most common one being Continue reading...

Influenza viruses have the potential to cause annual epidemics and occasional pandemics that can claim millions of lives. Point mutations and genetic rearrangements in the DNA cause the genomic content of Influenza viruses to change constantly. These changes in genomic content result in the development of new influenza strains with epidemic or pandemic potential (Neumann G, 2009). Pandemics are global disease outbreaks. Influenza virus pandemics are typically caused by the introduction of this HA subtype that is new to the human population. The pandemic potential of an influenza virus strain requires efficient human to human transmission. Prior to the Continue reading...

Abstract
Some areas such as oncology, which we will discuss in this paper, call for a complex and holistic approach. While the western pratice is based on the cause-and-effect approach and tends to use strictly rational scientific approach to cure the disease with the help of medical or surgical treatment, thus, treating mainly the physically visible symptoms with the help of chemical and mechanical means, the eastern approach has treated body and its soul as one whole. Thus, for ages it has involved natural remedies such as herbs and spiritual practices including meditation and other rituals to help the Continue reading...

A brief history of Electronic Health Records (EHRs)

Electronic health recording system refers to the computer storage of records such as medical details of patients, treatment process and other related information applicable in the context of healthcare. Traditionally, medical information could be recorded on papers and stored in files for retrieval when needed. Often, the process of recording medical information on papers proved cumbersome because doctors had to take a lot of time tracking important information. Worse still, storing of patient information on papers contributed to information gaps because of missing records especially when health practitioners would be transferred across stations.
In response to the complexity of Continue reading...

CIRRHOSIS

According to the American Liver Foundation, Cirrhosis can be defined as replacement of normal liver tissue with non-living scar tissue (Liverfoundation.org). The disease basically refers to liver only. The death of the natural tissues of the liver will lead to their replacement by fibrous tissue and hence scarring.
1.1 Causes of cirrhosis
Alcoholism: The commonest cause of cirrhosis of liver is chronic alcoholism. The disease process starts with swelling initially gradually leading to fibrous formation and hence cirrhosis (Das).

Other significant causes are:

Hepatitis C
Hepatitis B
Hepatitis D

Background

At this modern moment in human history, it is little wonder why an exploratory research investigation should begin with the concept of one of the world most affluent, and triumphant pharmaceutical companies, PharmaCARE. In terms of general management theory and practice, it is no secret that an open system implements a viewpoint in which organizations act beyond the modes and confines of their de jure protocols. For example, if the law states one thing and a corporation’s policy conflicts then – given the situation in which a dispute arises pertaining to harm having resulted towards individuals, the ethical reaction Continue reading...

Introduction

The drug development process is a long and tedious process. It involves many specialists: pharmacists, chemists, physicians, and clinicians. At best, these experts may take averagely twelve years to prepare an experimental from the laboratory to the drugs cabinet. Most experimental drugs fall along the way and do not reach the prescription stage, which the final phase of drug development. There is a 0.1 percent chances of medications that proceed to the preclinical testing manage to reach the human testing phase (MedicineNet.com, 1999). This percentage represents essentially five in every five thousand drugs under trial. Surprisingly, only one out Continue reading...
