Why is it important to study infectious disease?
By studying Infectious Diseases we learn how they are incubated, growth of the disease, how they are spread, and what drugs or treatments are useful in treating them. By doing this we can hope to reduce suffering and perhaps eradicate the disease.
Why can antibiotics be useful in treating bacterial diseases but not in treating viral diseases?
Antibiotics kill the bacteria but not the people by affecting parts of the bacterial system that humans do not share. Viruses use the person's own systems to do most functions and so not have the same or as many targets for the drugs. There are some antiviral drugs but now as many as antibiotics.
Why do we have to isolate microorganisms?
Isolating microorganisms is important for various reasons. It allows us to study and identify specific microorganisms, understand their characteristics, behavior, and interactions with other organisms. Isolation also helps in diagnosing and treating infections or diseases caused by specific microorganisms. Additionally, isolating microorganisms is crucial for industrial applications such as the production of antibiotics, enzymes, or other useful compounds.
How does Gram stain work and how is it useful to doctors treating bacterial diseases?
A Gram is simply looking for the presence of peptidoglycans in the cell wall (Gram positive bacteria have them). This is useful for physicians attempting to characterize an infectious agent, and narrows down the possibility of species which may be diagnosed.
What electromagnetic wave would be useful for curing disease?
Electromagnetic waves in the ultraviolet (UV) spectrum can be useful for treating diseases such as skin conditions and infections. UV light has germicidal properties that can kill bacteria and viruses, making it a valuable tool in disinfection and medical treatments.
What disease if the antinuclear antibody test especially effective in diagnosing?
This test is particularly useful when diagnosing a person with symptoms of SLE, an illness that affects many body organs and tissues.
What is epilepsy and why is dilantin useful in treating it?
it slows down brain impulses
What are examples of useful substances?
Water, oxygen, and glucose are examples of useful substances that are essential for sustaining life. Minerals like calcium and iron are also important for various bodily functions. Antibiotics and vaccines are examples of useful substances in healthcare for treating and preventing diseases.
Pacemakers may be useful in treating?
a third degree AV node block
How does imaging help in diagnosing liver cancer?
Imaging studies are useful in locating specific areas of abnormal tissue in the liver.
What is direct immunoflorescence?
Direct immunofluorescence is a technique used in pathology to detect the presence of specific antibodies or antigens in tissue samples. It involves labeling antibodies or antigens with fluorescent dyes to allow visualization under a microscope. This technique is particularly useful in diagnosing autoimmune diseases and dermatological conditions.
How is topology useful today?
Topology is always useful when looking at how a network is physically constructed or wired. This gives the network technician some idea of how the network is put together when diagnosing problems.
