Tuberculosis is a contagious bacterial infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis that typically affects the lungs. It is transmitted through airborne droplets from coughs or sneezes. Symptoms include severe coughing, excessive sweating, fatigue, fever, weight loss, and breathing difficulty. While tuberculosis rates in the US are low at approximately 10 cases per 100,000 people, it disproportionately impacts the elderly, infants, and immunocompromised. There are several drugs that can treat tuberculosis when taken as prescribed for several months.Diseases and disorders of the respiratory system and

The lymphatic system is part of the immune system and transports lymph throughout the body via lymph nodes and vessels. Diseases related to the lymphatic and immune system include Hodgkin's disease, mononucleosis, adenitis, sarcoidosis, and AIDS. Adenitis is a bacterial infection of the lymph nodes in the neck that causes painful swelling and can accompany a sore throat. It is usually treated with antibiotics. Mononucleosis is commonly caused by the Epstein Barr virus and causes fever, sore throat, fatigue, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck. It is often called "the kissing disease" and treatment focuses on relieving symptoms.Respiratory illnesspart 2

Poor sanitation and waste disposal practices can lead to various respiratory diseases. When human and animal waste is not properly disposed of, diseases can spread through contaminated water supplies or person-to-person contact. This is a particular problem in areas affected by poverty, as many people living in poverty do not have access to adequate sanitation methods. Respiratory illnesses caused or exacerbated by poor sanitation include asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, and others. Overall, improper sanitation is associated with about 10% of global disease.Deceases and disorders of

Rhinosinusitis refers to inflammation of the nasal and sinus mucosa. It is classified based on duration as acute (<4 weeks), subacute (4-12 weeks), recurrent acute (¡Ý4 episodes per year), or chronic (¡Ý12 weeks). Chronic rhinosinusitis involves eosinophils, neutrophils, and other inflammatory cells and mediators. Acute bacterial rhinosinusitis is usually caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, or Moraxella catarrhalis in children and often resolves with antibiotics. Chronic rhinosinusitis involves staphylococcal species in over half of cases. Diagnosis involves clinical criteria and imaging such as CT scan or nasal endAstma 2006-en

This document discusses the pathogenesis of asthma. It describes that asthma involves both acute and chronic inflammation. The early phase response occurs within minutes and involves mast cell degranulation releasing histamine and leukotrienes, causing bronchoconstriction. The late phase response occurs 4-8 hours later involving the influx of neutrophils and eosinophils. Chronic inflammation leads to remodeling of the airways over time through processes like increased smooth muscle thickness and fibrosis.Rhino sinusitis I

Rhinosinusitis is inflammation of the nose and paranasal sinuses that is classified as acute or chronic based on duration of symptoms. Acute rhinosinusitis lasts less than 12 weeks and is usually viral in origin, while chronic rhinosinusitis lasts over 12 weeks with ongoing symptoms. Chronic rhinosinusitis can be further classified based on the presence of nasal polyps and type of inflammation present. Type 2 inflammation involving cytokines IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 is associated with treatment failure, asthma, and higher rates of polyp formation. The sinus mucosa acts as an immune barrier, and type 2 inflammation can cause barrier weakness and failure, predisposing to recurrence of rhinosinusitisChronic Bronchitis

The circulatory system functions to deliver needed materials to cells, remove waste from cells, and fight off infections. It consists of the heart with four chambers that pump blood through two pathways - the pulmonary circuit which sends blood to the lungs to exchange gases and the systemic circuit which pumps oxygenated blood to the body. Blood vessels including arteries, veins, and capillaries transport blood and allow for the exchange of materials between blood and body cells. The heart beat and pulsing blood flow are controlled to maintain healthy blood pressure levels, while diseases can occur if the circulatory system is compromised.Programmed death2

Programmed cell death, also known as apoptosis, is an essential process for development and removing damaged or old cells. Apoptosis helps shape tissues during development and removes cells exposed to DNA damage from sunlight, viruses, or chemicals. As cells divide and age over time, the protective caps on the ends of chromosomes called telomeres get shorter with each division, triggering apoptosis after a cell has divided approximately 30 times to remove old or damaged cells.Day1 a

Treatment for Type I is insulin injections while Type II can be managed through insulin injections, exercise or medication depending on insulin levels and functioning.Asthma2
Asthma2Highline Academy
?
Asthma is a condition that affects over 300 million people worldwide and causes 250,000 deaths per year, where the airways become inflamed and narrowed, triggered by things like early infections, pollution, immune development issues, illness, exercise, stress, airborne irritants, allergies, and acid reflux. Treatments include new therapies and medications that are fast-acting for acute symptoms or long-term to control the condition.Allergies2
Allergies2Highline Academy
?
Allergies occur when the immune system reacts to harmless substances by producing antibodies. The first exposure causes the body to produce IgE antibodies that stick to basophil cells, and the second exposure triggers those cells to release histamine, causing allergy symptoms. Common types of allergies include allergic rhinitis (sneezing and stuffy nose), asthma (restricted airways), atopic dermatitis (skin irritation), and food allergies which are treated by eliminating the offending foods like milk, eggs, chicken, and peanuts from the diet.Aids2

Blood cells2Highline Academy
?
The document discusses the different types of white blood cells, including lymphocytes (T cells and B cells), monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, and neutrophils. It provides the percentage of each type of white blood cell in blood and their relative sizes. Each white blood cell type has a different role, such as lymphocytes forming immunity, monocytes becoming macrophages, eosinophils responding to parasites and allergies, and neutrophils being the first to infection sites.Immune response2
Immune response2Highline Academy
?
The document discusses the immune response process. During a primary response to an antigen, there is a latent period followed by an exponential increase in IgM antibodies and then a declining phase with IgG antibodies produced. Some B cells become memory cells. Upon a secondary exposure, the immune response is faster, stronger, and involves memory cells, resulting in less severe symptoms or no symptoms from the real disease. Vaccines cause a primary response to mimic a secondary response from the real disease.Complement cellularimmunity2
Complement cellularimmunity2Highline Academy
?
Complement is a group of proteins that can punch holes in cells and attract white blood cells. It functions through opsonization, chemotaxis, and cell lysis. The complement system has an alternative pathway that does not require antibodies. Cellular immunity involves macrophages engulfing antigens through endocytosis, preparing antigen pieces, displaying them on the surface, and showing them to T helper cells to signal T killer cells to swarm the site.Antibodies2
Antibodies2Highline Academy
?
This document discusses the main types of antibodies (immunoglobulins) in the human body: IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE. IgG is the most common antibody type found in blood and tissues. IgM is the first antibody produced during an initial immune response. IgA functions in external secretions, while IgD plays a role in immune system development. IgE helps fight parasites but can also trigger allergic reactions when overactive.Organs2
Organs2Highline Academy
?
The body has innate and acquired immunity. Innate immunity is protection present at birth and includes physical barriers like skin and mucous membranes, cells like macrophages, and chemicals like enzymes. Acquired immunity develops after birth and involves cells like T and B lymphocytes that kill specific germs or produce antibodies, as well as organs like the bone marrow and thymus that help mature immune cells.Introduction2

Energy is the ability to do work or cause change and exists in two main forms: potential energy which is stored energy and kinetic energy which is energy in motion. The document outlines the main types of energy including mechanical, thermal, chemical, nuclear, electrical, and electromagnetic energy. Mechanical energy involves the motion of objects, thermal energy is heat, chemical energy involves atomic bonds, nuclear energy is within atoms, electrical energy is the movement of electrons, and electromagnetic energy is light.Reproductive systems
Reproductive systemsHighline Academy

The document summarizes the human reproductive systems. It describes that sexual reproduction involves an egg cell from the female and a sperm cell from the male fusing to form a zygote. The male system includes testes that produce sperm in the scrotum and organs like the prostate and penis. The female system includes ovaries that release eggs, fallopian tubes, a uterus for growing the zygote, and a vagina. A zygote develops into an embryo protected by an amniotic sac and nourished via a placenta and umbilical cord until birth through the vagina.Urinary system2
Urinary system2Highline Academy
?
The excretory system removes waste from the body through the kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, and urethra. The kidneys contain millions of nephrons that filter blood to remove urea and excess water, producing 180 liters of fluid per day. The ureters carry urine from the kidneys to the urinary bladder for temporary storage, and then the urethra removes urine from the body. Common diseases of the excretory system include diabetes, urinary infections, kidney stones, and kidney failure.Immune system2
Immune system2Highline Academy
?
The immune system functions to remove germs and aid the body in repairing itself. It has barriers like the skin and respiratory system to prevent germs from entering. The non-specific immune response uses chemical signals, phagocytes, inflammation, and fever to attack any foreign substances. The specific response uses T-cells to recognize and destroy infected cells and B-cells to produce antibodies. Diseases like immunodeficiency, allergies, autoimmune disorders, and AIDS can damage the immune system or cause it to attack the body itself. Vaccination, antibiotics, and passive immunity from mother to child help prevent and treat infections.Respiratory system2
Respiratory system2Highline Academy
?
The respiratory system takes in oxygen and removes carbon dioxide, providing energy for cells. Air moves through the nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi and into tiny alveoli in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Breathing is a two-step process of inhalation, where the ribs expand and diaphragm contracts, and exhalation, where the ribs relax and diaphragm relaxes. Damage from smoking can cause lung cancer, emphysema and bronchitis due to tar and other chemicals.Welcome

Mr. Kosten teaches middle school science and outlines various classroom procedures and expectations for students. Students are expected to enter class silently, turn in homework, and work on assignments. They must include their full name, date, subject, and assignment on all work. Students will fill out planners on Mondays with homework assignments. The classroom uses a color-coded system to indicate noise levels. Additional procedures address pencil sharpening, bathroom breaks, tissues, trash, speaking in class, group work, responding to bells, lab safety, binder organization, and the classroom website. Students are expected to clear tables and be in uniform when leaving class.Endocrine system
Endocrine systemHighline Academy
?
The endocrine system produces long term changes in the body through glands that release hormones. The main glands are the hypothalamus, pituitary gland, thyroid gland, parathyroid gland, thymus gland, adrenal glands, pancreas, ovaries, and testes. Hormones are chemicals released by glands that travel through the bloodstream and cause actions in distant cells by binding to target cells. Each gland has a specific function, such as the hypothalamus controlling the pituitary gland, the pituitary gland regulating homeostasis and growth, the thyroid gland controlling metabolism, and the ovaries and testes producing sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone.Nervous system
Nervous systemHighline Academy
?
The nervous system functions to receive information through the senses, store information in the brain and spinal cord, make decisions, and send responses through the body. It is composed of neurons, which are cells that transmit electrochemical signals. Information enters neurons through dendrites, is processed in the cell body, and travels down the axon through axon bulbs. At synapses, neurotransmitters are released by the axon bulb to signal the next neuron. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord, while the peripheral nervous system connects the body to the CNS and controls voluntary and involuntary functions. Reflexes are rapid, unconscious responses to stimuli. Nervous system injuries like concussions and spinal cord damage can impair functions orRecently uploaded (20)

Validity is an important characteristic of a test. A test having low validity is of little use. Validity is the accuracy with which a test measures whatever it is supposed to measure. Validity can be low, moderate or high. There are many factors which affect the validity of a test. If these factors are controlled, then the validity of the test can be maintained to a high level. In the power point presentation, factors affecting validity are discussed with the help of concrete examples.Blind spots in AI and Formulation Science, IFPAC 2025.pdf

The intersection of AI and pharmaceutical formulation science highlights significant blind spots¡ªsystemic gaps in pharmaceutical development, regulatory oversight, quality assurance, and the ethical use of AI¡ªthat could jeopardize patient safety and undermine public trust. To move forward effectively, we must address these normalized blind spots, which may arise from outdated assumptions, errors, gaps in previous knowledge, and biases in language or regulatory inertia. This is essential to ensure that AI and formulation science are developed as tools for patient-centered and ethical healthcare.How to create security group category in Odoo 17
