Teratogenicity

2.3K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

1.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Transmission-based Precautions I: Contact, Enteric, and Droplets

3.2K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients known to be infected or suspected to be infected or colonized with organisms that pose a significant risk to others. Some transmission-based precautions include contact, enteric, and droplet.
Contact Precautions:
Contact precautions are the measures taken to prevent the transmission of infectious agents, especially epidemiologically important microorganisms such as MRSA or influenza, primarily transmitted through direct or indirect contact with an...

Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

46
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Immunodeficiency Diseases01:25

Immunodeficiency Diseases

824
Immunodeficiency disorders are conditions in which the immune system's ability to fight infectious disease and cancer is compromised or entirely absent. The immune system comprises a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from potentially harmful invaders. When this system is deficient or not functioning properly, it leaves the body susceptible to infections, diseases, or other complications.
There are three main causes of immunodeficiency...

    Area of Science:

    • Virology
    • Epidemiology
    • Public Health

    Background:

    • Measles is an acute, severe, and highly contagious viral illness.
    • Despite a safe and effective vaccine for over 50 years, measles outbreaks persist in the U.S. and are increasing globally.
    • National vaccination coverage for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) among kindergarteners shows a declining trend.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an overview of measles for healthcare practitioners.
    • To cover the history, epidemiology, clinical presentation, complications, and prevention of measles.
    • To guide readers toward detailed recommendations on vaccines and biologics.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review and synthesis of existing data.
    • Analysis of historical and current epidemiological trends.
    • Compilation of clinical information and recognized complications.

    Main Results:

    • Measles continues to pose a significant public health threat despite vaccination availability.
    • Decreasing vaccination coverage is linked to ongoing and increasing measles cases.
    • Understanding the disease's history, epidemiology, and clinical aspects is crucial for effective management.

    Conclusions:

    • Measles prevention remains critical due to persistent outbreaks and declining vaccination rates.
    • Healthcare providers need comprehensive knowledge of measles for effective patient care and prevention strategies.
    • Continued vigilance and robust vaccination programs are essential to control measles transmission.
