psychopathology suggests that abnormal behaviour is caused or related to physical changes in the body. The biological approach suggest that the four following things cause physical disorders (abnormality) ; genes‚ biochemistry‚ neuroanatomy and viral infection. Psychologists have investigated the role in which gene’s play in abnormal behaviour. To do this the majority of psychologists use twins. It has been demonstrated that first-degree relative of a person suffering schizophrenia have a 10% chance of

Regardless‚ we do know that bacteria does grow in the formed pouches‚ and this then may cause an infection and inflammation.

P. vivax is one of plasmodium strains that have a dormant liver stage and it can activate and invade the blood after months or years‚ causing many patients to relapse.

parasites. Antibiotics have absolutely no effect on viruses‚ which are not living diseases (2). It is widely estimated that nearly half of the antibiotics prescribed are ineffective due to the fact they are prescribed for colds‚ coughs‚ and other viral infections (1). Most people‚ especially parents‚ expect for physicians to administer antibiotics whenever they or their children contract an illness. Antibiotics are thought to be fast acting and a guarantee cure. While antibiotic use is substantially

and thus allow the disease to further progress and possibly spread from the lungs (“Tuberculosis”). A tuberculosis infection outside of the lungs is called extrapulmonary tuberculosis. In these instances‚ the kidney and bones are more commonly prone to infection. In the kidney‚ tuberculosis proposes little to no symptoms‚ but may destroy part of the kidney‚ which allows the infection to further spread to the bladder. Furthermore‚ if the body cannot conjure a strong enough cell-mediated immune response

study comparing the rates of MRSA infections between patients who tested positive and negative for nasal colonization. The researches performed a chart review of an intensive care unit (ICU) from 2007-2010‚ choosing from 1203 adult patients who were screened for MRSA. For a base control‚ two non-colonized patients were randomly selected for every colonized patient. In the examination of future MRSA infections only lower respiratory tract (LRTIs) and bloodstream infections (BSIs) were considered‚ as they

can cause pain as the inflamed pericardium rubs against the heart. Fluid can build up in the pericardium‚ which can compress the heart and affect its function. What causes pericarditis? Pericarditis can be caused by infection from a virus‚ bacterium or fungus. Viral infections are the most common cause of pericarditis in children. Pericarditis can result from injury to the chest. It can result following a heart attack. It can occur several weeks following heart surgery (post pericardiotomy

According to VanMeter and Hubert (2014)‚ meningitis is a bacterial infection caused in the meninges of the central nervous system. The pathophysiology of this infection‚ as the authors decribes‚ begins with microorganisms makes their way to the brain through blood‚ extension of tissues that are in proximity‚ or access directly from wounds. Microbes would then bind to nasopharyneal cells in order to cross the mucosal barrier‚ then entering into cerebrospinal fluid from being attached to the choroid

(MMR) are all viral diseases that can be extremely serious. Measles or rubeola‚ is a highly contagious respiratory infection. Symptoms include: a fever‚ cough‚ runny nose‚ conjunctivitis and a red‚ pinpoint rash that starts on the face and spreads to the rest of the body. Because the infection is caused by a virus‚ there is no medicine to take‚ you just have to wait for the infection to run its course. Someone with measles is contagious for up to four days before symptoms even begin the show. Measles
