  3. Poliomyelitis

  4. About Polio • A large outbreak in India accounted for most of the increase. • India is one of seven countries where the disease is still endemic. • But there has been some success in the fight against polio with Ethiopia, Sudan and Angola, where the virus had been endemic, declared polio-free in 2002. • Access to children in Somalia and Afghanistan for vaccination has also improved. • The World Health Organization hopes to completely wipe out polio by 2005.

  9. Exponential Model • A quantity grows exponentially when its increase is proportional to what is already there. • Our objective in this project was to provide evidence of the spread of poliomyelitis, and how fast it’s growth was. A comparison could be made with the present spread of meningitis.

  10. Tuberculosis • Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria calledMycobacterium tuberculosis, a bacteria that cause latent TB infection and active TB disease

  11. The Difference Between Latent TB Infection and Active TB Disease

  12. Symptoms of TB • Symptoms of TB depend on where in the body the TB bacteria are growing. TB bacteria usually grow in the lungs. TB in the lungs may cause symptoms such as: • a bad cough that lasts longer than 2 weeks • pain in the chest • coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs) • Other symptoms of active TB disease are • weakness or fatigue • weight loss • no appetite • chills • fever • sweating at night

  13. With appropriate antibiotic treatment, TB can be cured in more than nine out of ten patients. Successful treatment of TB depends on close cooperation between the patient and doctor and other health care workers. Treatment usually combines several different antibiotic drugs which are given for at least six months, sometimes for as long as 12 months. Patients must take their medicine on time every day for the 6 to 12 months. Some TB patients stop taking their prescribed medicines because they may feel better after only a couple of weeks of treatment. Another reason they may stop taking their medicine is because TB drugs can have unpleasant side effects Cures for TB

  14. Total number of new cases of tuberculosis in white non-Hispanics, blacks, and Hispanics in the United States, 1980–2010.

  15. Projected quartiles of tuberculosis case rates per 100,000 by state, 2010

  16. HIV/AIDS • The Red Ribbon is a symbol that shows the caring and support in the world. • HIV-Human Immunodeficiency Virus is the virus that causes AIDS • AIDS was first identified as a disease in America in 1981.

  17. Just Some Numbers To Crunch
