What is Inflammatory bowel disease?

Image
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic immune inflammatory response within the alimentary canal, is assessed as 2 major forms, Crohn’s disease (CD) and colitis (UC). A rise within the frequency of IBD (from 68.6 cases per 100,000 people in 1990 to 89.6 cases per 100,000 people in 2017) in developing countries has become a big ill health over the last three decades]. Usually, IBD causes symptoms like fatigue, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. The pathogenesis of IBD remains not fully understood but appears to be influenced by interplay between genetic factors, environmental factors, immunological factors, and disruption of the intestinal microbiota composition. Current treatment options for IBD are mainly supported conventional methods like treatment with 5-aminosalicylic acid, corticosteroids, and immunosuppressive drugs; however, these therapies generally cause significant side effects and a large subset of patient relapse. The intestine is that the largest digestive organ wit...

Is antibiotic actually preventing?

  Antibiotic resistance is accelerated by poor infection prevention and control, as well as the misuse and overuse of antibiotics. Bacteria, not humans or animals, become antibiotic-resistant. The infections they cause are harder to treat than those caused by non-resistant bacteria and these bacteria may infect humans and animals. In all parts of the world antibiotic resistance is rising to dangerously high levels. Threatening our ability to treat common infectious diseases , new resistance mechanisms are emerging and spreading globally. A growing list of infections are becoming harder, and sometimes impossible, to treat as antibiotics become less effective such as Ebola Virus, HIV, AIDs, Influenza, and Fungal.   The emergence and spread of resistance is made worse, where antibiotics can be bought for human or animal use without a prescription, similarly, antibiotics are often over-prescribed in countries without standard treatment guidelines, by health workers and veter...

Is there any chance of getting Coronavirus after once being affected?

Image
Coronaviruses is a set of related RNA viruses that cause diseases in birds and mammals. Most of the people are infected with COVID-19 virus will undergo mild to moderate respiratory illness and recover without hospitalization. Common symptoms of COVID-19 are dry cough, fever and tiredness. It also affects different people in different ways like sore throat, headache, diarrhea , loss of taste or smell, difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, chest pain or pressure and so on.

Are all emerging infectious diseases harmful?

Image
Infections that have recently appeared in the population, whose geographic range is increasing day by day or threatens to increase in near future, are called emerging infectious diseases . Emerging diseases can be caused by previously undetected infectious agents or known agents that have spread. The emergence of new infectious diseases or the re-emergence of old infectious diseases can be caused naturally by the evolution of pathogens or the interaction of human population. Influenza or flu is an example of emerging infectious disease which is caused due to both natural and human factors. Influenza virus has the ability to change its genetic information. Major changes in the virus can cause pandemics as the human immune system is not prepared to recognize and defend against the new pathogens. The recent outbreak of deadly coronavirus disease which is related to RNA viruses, it can be caused to birds and mammals. They cause mild illness which includes cold and cough which are also c...
