Unit 21: Biomedical science techniques Microbes and Anti-microbial effects Task 3 a) An infection is when bacteria‚ fungi or any other organisms enter the body‚ and cause infection by multiplying‚ producing toxins and invading and damaging cells. When a person is infected‚ they may become ill‚ but an infection does not always lead to illness. There are three types of reservoirs of infection for human diseases; these include human reservoirs‚ animal reservoirs and non-living reservoirs. Human

In contemporary society‚ particularly in the Western world‚ the biomedical model is perhaps the most commonly used framework for understanding health and illness‚ not solely by members of the medical profession but also by the lay population. This paradigm is based on a "specific way of thinking about and explaining disease based on biological factors" (Barry & Yuill‚ 2008). In recent years however‚ this biomedical model has begun to face challenges as the expansion of knowledge among the

Essay 10 years beyond: The role of biomedical computing in future health care. I believe that in 10 years from now‚ the role of biomedical computing will grow tremendously and it will become a crucial issue for the healthcare. Most important components of biomedical computing will probably include such technologies as biomedical imaging and visualization‚ capabilities of modern computing required for genome-related analysis‚ medical robotics‚ computer-based diagnostics and treatment systems

Holism is explained as the concept of treating the whole body system in its entirety. Comparative to the biomedical model of treating specific illness symptoms‚ holism aims to support all the bodily functions at the same time while looking for the cause of the problem at hand. The concept of Holism will be discussed further in relation to diagnosis and treatment and explanation will be given on the significance of exploring the causes of the symptoms. As discussed by Mark Hyman (Hyman‚ 2010)‚

Unit 2: Disadvantages of the biomedical model for patients or clients. 1. Nurses less concern on humanisers care of patient feeling and emotion. Example: A nurses treating patient too strict and focus on doctor’s order until they forgot about patient emotional and spiritual. 2. The patient often labels as bed number or diagnosis rather than treated as individuals. Example: Patient Mr. X admit with the history of the psychological problem for three years.

The impact of these wastes cannot be ignored and managing them has become a major problem. The objective and scope of this research project: In this project we have tried to gain an insight on the term waste management. The objective of the project was to seek an overview of waste management in large cities especially in supermarkets and predominantly the waste disposal

The Biomedical model has been the model of health that has dominated industrialised societies in the west. The biomedical model of health identifies health as the absence of disease. The biomedical model focuses on diagnosing and curing individuals who have a specific illness or other medical conditions. Health professionals will use methods that have been scientifically tested to treat diagnosed illnesses. The biomedical model view of health supports the practices and policies of the National Health

Conclusion 1. Explain why antibodies allow scientists to target and identify specific disease agents. Specific antibodies are linked to specific antigens. Scientists can track whether or not a person has a disease through the antibodies present in the body. 2. Why is the secondary antibody used in an ELISA test conjugated with an enzyme? What happens when this enzyme meets up with its substrate? So the substrate would turn a detectable form. It catalyzes so the antibody
