Term 1-2 Dealing With Diseases

__Activities:__

1. Paradox: Analyzing: An example of a muscle disease is weakness.

__Causes:__ Weakness is a disease that can be caused by lack of strength, dizziness and fatigue.

__Preventions it makes:__ Weaknesses can prevent calcium staying in the muscle cell. It also prevents people from becoming strong.

__Possible Cures:__ A possible cure for weaknesses is to avoid toxins. Foods and fats that heal, vegetable juice and unrefined sea salt can cure weaknesses.


 * Good research Quang. (Facilitator) **

__2.Examples of Habit: Creating:__ Almost everything we do daily is a habit. Some habits are even difficult to stop.

__How is a habit helpful when a disease is spread?__ If we use taking medicine or eating the right food as a habit, it stops us from getting sick. For example, if you floss regularly, it would decrease your chances of gum disease.

__When are habits important?__ A habit can help us prevent diseases and other bad luck.

How are habits and bad luck related? Well...some habits are very bad and can cause bad luck. For example, smoking as usual can severely/ seriously affect people's lungs, making it hard for them to breathe and putting them at risk of dying.

__3.Intuitive Expression: Creating:__ An example of a childhood disease/disorder is scarlet fever. This illness is caused by sore throat, fever, bright red tongue and characteristic rashes. The bacteria that causes scarlet fever make a toxin that causes a skin rash. Scarlet fever responds well to antibiotics.

This is an image of what you would look like if you had scarlet fever.


 * Quang this activity is suppose to be a 3 minute orl presentation. Maybe you could present this to the e-Tasc group on our last lesson but it will need to be a little longer. (Facilitator) **

__4.Intuitive Expression: Evaluating:__ I woke up this morning and found myself on a kid. Kids are my friends because sometimes, they don't wash their hands properly. Later, I was multiplied into fifteen. My clones and I found the human in the kitchen. I jumped onto the human's body. I went closer to my victim's nose and he started sneezing. He sneezed even more when my clones joined me. I jumped off the kid's body, gave a salute to my clones and shouted at the child, "Have a dirty day!"

__5.Attribute Listing: Remembering:__ There are some products that relate to the treatment of pain or disease.

But the main treatments are: -medicene -ways to open the blockage in your arteries -artery bypass surgery (Bypass can be done for each blocked artery. Bypass surgery can decrease the risk of heart attack.)

Got info from WrongDiagnosis.com.

__6.Paradox: Remembering;__ Plague is a deadly and infectious disease carried by rodents. It is also caused by Pasteurella pestis. It still spreads disease to some children in Australia.

Some treatments for plague are: -Streptomycin -Chloramphenicol -Gentamicin

7.Attribute Listing: Evaluating: media type="custom" key="6030649"

Measles is a disease of the respiratory system caused by a virus. People with measles should be placed on respiratory precautions. Measles is also called rubeola. The best way to prevent measles is to have the victim vaccinated with two doses of MMR. Measles are easily spread through the air. Immunisation is effective in preventing the disease.

8.Analogy: Applying:

Differences:

Medical: Similarities: Social: Chicken Pox: -caused by an infection Syphilis: -caused by an infection with varicella -syphilis infection csn go through a series of stages of diseases if zoster virus left untreated -more severe in adult male than in adult -syphilis is easily treated female or children -in early stages, syphilis is -observed in other primates including treated by penicillin chimpanzees and gorillas -highly contagious

9.Intuitive Expression: Remembering:

A POEM FOR HOPE OF OVERCOMING DISEASE

Oh, a disease is so serious It can be so bad It makes a lot of us mad Oh, it can kill all lot of people Oh, I wish we could find a way To overcome this sick way

10. Discrepancy: Remembering:

THERE IS NOTHING HEALTHY ABOUT A TAN. WHY DOES AUSTRALIA HAVE THE HIGHEST INCIDENCE OF SKIN CANCER IN THE WORLD?

Skin is the body's largest organ. It is also the most exposed organ to ultraviolet rays.

There are three main types of skin cancer: -Basal cell carcinoma -Squamous cell carcinoma -Melanoma

At risk, are people who have: -Had a previous melanoma -Fair skin -Depressed immune systems -Increased numbers of unusual moles -A family history

Skin cancers account for around 80% of all new cancers diagnosed each year in Australia. Over 380,000 Australians have been treated for skin cancer each year. Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in Australia. It caused over 1,500 deaths in 2003.

Melanoma is the most life-threatening skin cancer in Australia and is also the most common cancer in the 15-24 year-old age group. Australia has the world's highest incidence of melanoma.
