In more severe cases, intravenous administration of fluids may be required. Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention states that antibiotics may shorten the course and diminish the severity of the illness.
Immediate treatment is critical for a successful outcome because death from cholera can occur within just a few hours. Without rehydration, approximately half the people with cholera die according to the World Health Organization (Cholera). However, when treated promptly, the number of fatalities drops to less than one percent.

Cholera Prevention

To prevent cholera, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, recommends that travelers to parts of Africa, Asia, or Latin America where epidemic cholera is occurring take the following measures:

Drink only water that you have boiled or treated with chlorine or iodine. Other safe beverages include tea and coffee made with boiled water and carbonated, bottled beverages with no ice.

Eat only foods that have been thoroughly cooked and….

"However, some baceteria -- including the one that causes cholera -- regularly pass through this gauntlet (stomach acid) to wreak havoc in the intestines" (Seppa, 2002, p. 357). Seppa's study continues by asserting that, "the result is severe diarrhea that can lead to fatal dehydration" (Seppa, p. 358).
Treating cholera can be done with a variety of antibiotics and medical supplies, but the simplest and most effective way to both minimize the effects of cholera as well as to keep the patient alive is by re-hydrating the individual.

Hydration of the individual takes place by drinking large quantities of water, or water mixed with salts and sugars to replace the chemicals being lost through the severe diarrhea. This method of treating cholera is used throughout the world and is the most effective method of doing so. Most experts believe that re-hydration of the patient is much more important than attempting to….

Professor Mabel Morana of ashington University in St. Louis, professor of Spanish and Latin American Studies, explains that Garcia Marquez is a genius at restoring the "time-honored mission of entertaining by means of the mere act of narrating" (Morana, 1990). In other words, Garcia Marquez's writing is so effective it really isn't crucially important who or what he is writing about. Just jump on board and enjoy the ride. Getting older? Garcia Marquez will enliven and energize a person. Feeling grumpy and experiencing some forgetfulness? Garcia Marquez knows just the cure for what ails you -- his wonderfully coherent and riveting storyline and narrative.

riting in Contemporary Literary Criticism, Morana asserts that Garcia Marquez's brilliant narrative intermingles the "real and imaginary, the autobiographical and the collective" in life, and has "no justification beyond the revival of the 'forgotten art of telling stories'" (Morana, 1990). Storytelling is a gift that many can….

Furthermore, Florentino proves that "love never fails." Much of Love in the Time of Cholera remains tragic and heart-wrenching, as Florentino is spurned by the object of his desire. Yet, rather than give up on Fermina he proves that his love for her is greater than life itself; only through the death of her husband is Florentino able to fulfill his romantic fantasy. However grim this thought may seem, Florentino "thinks no evil" and "does not rejoice in iniquity." Rather, he patiently waits for the moment in which he can be with Fermina. This moment arrives late in their lives, but as Paul states, "love suffers long."

Fermina probably never knows this type of love, as her response to Florentino and even her response to her husband show. She does not seem as consumed by love as Florentino and in fact shows some degree of resentment toward his advancements throughout their….

S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS elief (PEPFA) are part of the reason as to why the disease prevention efforts in Haiti are very successful.
Despite this level of success, the Haitian disease prevention efforts are faced with several challenges. The challenges include shortage of human resource, widespread poverty as well as very limited infrastructure. The Haitians successful disease treatment and prevention programs such as the Partners in Health model (community-based care), the Gheskio model of integrated care, prevention of mother-to-child transmission as well as the use of antiretroviral therapy are currently being replicated around the world. Early warning systems have also been developed and deployed.Joint efforts have been initiated in Cholera prone areas to help in reducing the impact and number of cases of the disease. These actions are noted by WHO (2012) to have helped in reducing the mortality rate from 22.4% in 2010 to 1.4% in 2011. This….

Cholera in Somalia

Cholera Background Information

Vibrio cholerae (cholera) is a Gram-negative bacterium that threatens human health when water and food supplies become contaminated (eil, Ivers, and Harris, 2012). Its emergence occurs most often in crowded and unsanitary conditions and on average kills approximately 50% of those who develop symptoms and never receive treatment. Death occurs because a toxin secreted by the bacterium is endocytosed by epithelial cells in the small intestine, leading to unregulated cAMP production and chloride secretion into the lumen. The increasing chloride concentration in the lumen forces the body to secrete large amounts of water, potassium, sodium, and bicarbonate, leading to severe dehydration. The amount of fluid lost can reach 1 liter per hour in adults and if not compensated for, death follows in just hours.

The presumed ancestral home of cholera is the Ganges River Delta region, which is now Bangladesh (Mandal, Mandal,….

Cholera Vectors
Cholera is an acute diarrheal infection caused by a bacterium called Vibrio cholerae that infects the intestines of human and causes massive dehydration. Most estimates believe that there are 3-5 million cases of cholera globally each year, with about 100,000 deaths. The infection varies between little or no symptoms to serious and life-threatening cases. In about 5% of the population, infected individuals will have massive watery diarrhea, vomiting, leg cramps, and resulting ancillary issues caused by shock and dehydration (Bjorklund, 2011).

Type of Pathogen

The bacterium that causes cholera, Vibrio cholerae, is a gram negative, non-spore forming, curved rod bacterium that is oxidase positive. From a biological perspective, it is quite mobile with a single point tail (flagellum). It is not toxic itself, but when it enters a host it produces a toxin that is poisonous to humans and causes symptoms. Not all cholera bacteria produce this toxin, however, and there….

Cholera is a well-known acute diarrheal infection that results from ingestion of water or food contaminated with the Vibrio cholera bacteria (Fong, 2013). The primary distinguishing epidemiologic characteristic of the disease are its tendency to appear in explosive outbreaks and its predisposition to causing pandemics that progressively affect huge areas and spread across national borders. Despite numerous efforts to contain cholera, it continues to occur as a major public health issue in Kenya. In fact, since the first emergence of a cholera outbreak in 1997, intermittent outbreaks have been recorded. Throughout 1997 to 2010, Kenya has confronted widespread cholera attacks. The latter part of 2012 was characterized by intense outbreaks that began from the Kakuma refugee camp, spreading to the other areas and involving at least 50,000 cases and 8000 deaths, nationwide (Fratamico, 2005). The reoccurrence of the disease in Kenya in the early months of 2015 indicates that cholera….

Haiti and Cholera
In the modern world, despite the numerous technological improvements, natural disasters continue to occur, and with them, often epidemic level disease vectors. In January 2010, an earthquake hit the Island of Haiti in the Carribean. This was one of the worst natural disasters in recent history, putting over 4 million people at risk, with a death toll of at least 300,000, and at least one million individuals displaced from their homes. This was a 7.0 earthquake, powerful, so much so that it devastated buildings, the infrastructure of the Island, and even agricultural fields. Experts, in fact, believe that it may be several decades before Haiti has even marginally recovered, and most of their political and governmental buildings were destroyed. In addition, over 1/4 million houses had to be razed to the ground, and 30,000 commercial buildings were no longer safe for occupation. If this were not enough, scholars….

Garcia Marquez Love
Love clearly exists within Love in the Time of Cholera, a novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Garcia Marquez's masterful novel of the enduring love of Florentino for the beautiful Fermina describes love in a great many forms, and a great many ways. In the novel, love is strongly influenced by family, and often family itself begins to define love.

Love within marriage is examined within the context of Fermina and Dr. Jevenal Urbino's long-lasting and tumultuous marriage. The idea of fidelity and love are also examined, both within the traditional sense of sexual fidelity and within a perhaps more meaningful context of emotional faithfulness and steadfastness. Age and love are also examined, as Fermina and Florentino's love is renewed in their old age, as time and wisdom show in their new relationship, and their fight to claim love as time and death encroach. Ultimately, Love in the Time of….

The quality life would include provision of good education, health care, adequate employment opportunities, safe drinking water and clean air, reduction of crime and many more (World Bank 2004, p.1). This report also poses that a country will only be deemed developed when life expectancy increases, provide average income and ensure adult literacy. In brief human development involves all features of individuals' well-being, this range from health condition to their economic and political freedom. This has not been achieved yet in Kenya and most of African countries hence cannot claim to be developed.
2.0 Conclusion

With the rampant cholera and other diseases affecting the lives of Kenyans, it is obvious that they cannot achieve the development goals. There is a lot of effort put into achieving their millennium development goals and if achieved it will be a break-though for Kenya. Cholera still inhibits the country from developing since the majority of….

Q1. Discuss the physicians changing perceptions of the nature of cholera, its treatment, and therapy in 1832, 1849, and 1866. How did these factors change? Why? Today, the general public and physicians alike are well aware of the need for proper sanitation in the public water system. But during the 19th century, knowledge about the spread of germs and disease was less widespread, and cholera, although widely accepted as a serious threat to public health, was still controversial in its ascribed origin. The hero of cholera research is John Snow, who, through the use of city mapping was able to trace an 1854 London epidemic to a single water pump and even was able to identify the microbe that had caused it, using an ordinary microscope. Such particles were not found in other pumps far away from the disease outbreak. Before Snow, such as during the 1832 epidemic, many physicians ascribed….

Cholera
The following is a response to a major disaster in the Asian coastal country of Bangladesh. A major and destructive typhoon has recently hit the country and there are significant problems. The result of this typhoon has seem massive death, destruction and population displacement, and to worsen the situation, data indicates that cases of a diarrheal disease consistent with cholera have been reported.

This essay will highlight the priorities of work that need to be addressed in order to respond to the cholera outbreak that appears imminent. This response will recommend certain actions that need to be implemented and which agencies to seek assistance from to help in making the plan work. Pre-deployment preparations for those flocking to the disaster will also be discussed to give a more descriptive form to the problem.

Impacts of Cholera Outbreaks

It is important and preliminary to understand the problems and risks associated with an cholera outbreak.….

On the part of his fellow scientists, Snow's research was resisted because it was conducted with intellectual 'leaps' of logic in his determination to find the cause, as opposed to Farr's more technical and methodological approach. Farr had the more comprehensive health surveillance program, but Snow's hypothesis and instincts were correct. Snow drew upon past studies involving smallpox, cowpox, and syphilis, to extrapolate parallel examples of how the disease was transmitted, while Farr clung to the airborne model of disease transmission popular at the time even after reviewing such studies. Farr stated that non-living or zymotic material was transmitted through the air, and hence the closer the quarters of the affected, the more apt the material would be transmitted through the air.
The commonly-held belief was that fecalized air and water were the primary conduits of the disease. Farr believed primarily that the transmission was "miasmatic" and the prevalence in….

Expression of Love and the Rhetoric of Romance in Swann's ay And Love In The Time Of Cholera
Florentino Ariza in comparison to Charles Swann

Gabriel Garcia Marquez's "Love in the Time of Cholera" and Marcel Proust's "Swann's ay" both deal with romance as being a force that both benefits and damages people's mental status. hereas the devoted lover in "Love in the Time of Cholera," Florentino Ariza, puts across great dedication toward his loved one and their union, Charles Swann appears to be less interested in the emotional aspect of love, as he appears to respond to stimuli on the basis of his diplomatic character.

One is perfectly able to observe and to understand the love that Florentino feels toward Fermina Daza, as the man expresses authentic romantic love. In contrast, the love that Swann puts across in regard to Odette appears to be without an actual bases, as the Parisian aristocrat….

To write an essay on the impact of contagious diseases, you will want to narrow down the topic.  There are several different types of contagious diseases, and the various pathogens include viruses, bacteria, fungi, and protozoa. Disease can spread in various ways.  The current Covid-19 pandemic is airborne and spreads through both air and touch, but other diseases have been blood borne, sexually transmitted, spread in food, or spread through other vectors, such as mosquitoes. There are also different types of outbreaks of diseases including pandemic, endemic, epidemic, and outbreak.  They have....
