Term Paper facts / Bird Flu
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| what is the diagnosis | diagnosis is difficult due to the fact it resembles the common cold and common flu, recognizing the sysmptoms is critical to diagnosis a patient , you suspect having the H5n1 Avian fluenza virus |
| Sx --- common Flu & Cold = STFCD/V | Sore throat - Fever - Cough - Diarrhea & Vomit |
| 38 Celsius = 100.4 F | 38 Celsius = 100.4 F |
| Sx --- Avian Fluenza Virus [H5N1]...specific symptoms besides (STFCDV) | Fever over 100.4F (38C), ---Nose & Gum bleeds, Eye-infection, severe pain when breathing, Pain in Lungs, Severe - shortness of breath, difficulty Breathing |
| Recovery is dependent on treating the patient in time, so ill people need to see their doctor as quickly as possible. | Recovery is dependent on treating the patient in time, so ill people need to see their doctor as quickly as possible. |
| how to convert Celsius to Farenheit | Take the temperature in Celsius and multiply 1.8.------ Add 32 degrees----- The result is degrees Fahrenheit |
| define hemagglutinin | ---an agglutinin (as an antibody or viral capsid protein) that causes...hemagglutination |
| define hemagglutination | ----agglutination of red blood cells |
| define cap·sid (kăp'sĭd) | protein shell that surrounds a virus particle |
| define virus | ((virology) ultramicroscopic infectious agent that replicates itself only within cells of living hosts; many are pathogenic; a piece of nucleic acid (DNA or RNA) wrapped in a thin coat of protein) |
| To convert a Fahrenheit temperature into Celsius: Tc = (5/9)*(Tf-32) | For example, to convert a Celsius temperature of 100 degrees into degrees Fahrenheit, first multiply the Celsius temperature reading by nine-fifths to get 180. Then add 32 to 180 and get 212 degrees Fahrenheit. |
| define neuraminidase ( nur-&-'mi-n&-"dAs) | a glycosidase that splits mucoproteins by breaking a glucoside link and occurs especially in influenza viruses as an antigen |
| define glycosidase [ glI-'kO-s&-"dAs ] | an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of a bond joining a sugar of a glycoside to an alcohol or another sugar unit |
| define glycoside | any of numerous sugar derivatives that contain a nonsugar group bonded to an oxygen or nitrogen atom and that on hydrolysis yield a sugar (as glucose) |
| hydrolysis, which is the breakdown of organic materials through the use of water | hydrolysis, which is the breakdown of organic materials through the use of water |
| Influenza viruses are spread from person to person primarily through the coughing and sneezing of infected persons | Influenza viruses are spread from person to person primarily through the coughing and sneezing of infected persons |
| TESTing | NPT, LADT, NAAT---Near patient testing, --Lab Antegen Detection Test,-- Nucleic Acid Amplification Tests |
| if tests are positive----contact and send a sample to the WHO - world health organization, CDC- Center for Disease Control | if tests are positive----contact and send a sample to the WHO - world health organization, CDC- Center for Disease Control |
| near patient tests (NPT) and field antigen detection tests | commercially available for the diagnosis of human influenza. results within approximately 30 minutes. |
| The European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (EISS) task group on near patient test recommended use of NPT data as an adjunct to virus isolation for early warning of a change in influenza activity in humans. | The European Influenza Surveillance Scheme (EISS) task group on near patient test recommended use of NPT data as an adjunct to virus isolation for early warning of a change in influenza activity in humans. |
| (EISS) recommend using NPT as part of diagnosis as an early warning of a change in influenza activity in humans, because the sensitivity is limited to 70-75% compared to virus isolation and NAT. | (EISS) recommend using NPT as part of diagnosis as an early warning of a change in influenza activity in humans, because the sensitivity is limited to 70-75% compared to virus isolation and NAT. |
| in the doctors office you should --- get a swab to derive a fluid sample from the throat or the nose, ---it has kept at about 39 degrees Fahrenheit before it is transported from the doctor's office to the state lab.---- "The virus is very fragile once yo | "The virus is very fragile once you take it outside of the body, so it's kept cold," "We like to have it within 24 hours of collection." |
| In one step, detergent is used to inactivate the viral sample, rendering it harmless. In another step, scientists extract genetic material from the virus for testing. | In one step, detergent is used to inactivate the viral sample, rendering it harmless.
