医学英语课文知识总结1.Seasonal Influenza (P18)Definition: Seasonal influenza is an acute infection caused by the influenza virus.Type:Type A: A1(H1N1) and A3(H3N2) are circulating among humanType B: Only influenza A and B viruses are included in seasonal influenza vaccinesType C: much less frequently than A and BCause:1. High risk: People with certain medical conditions, such as chronic heart, lung, kidney, liver, blood or metabolic diseases (such as diabetes), or weakened immune systems2. Transmission: Spread by breathing in infected dropletsSigns and symptoms: high fever, cough, headache, muscle and joint pain, severe malaise, sore throat and runny noseTreatment: antiviral drugs such as adamantanes and inhibitors of influenza neuraminidase Prevention: vaccinate timely(most effective);covering mouth and nose with tissue when coughing, washing hands regularly2.Diabetes (P25)Definition:Diabetes is a chornic disease that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin,or alternatively,when thw body cannot effevtively use the insulin it produces.Type:Type 1 diabetes(previously know as insulin-dependent or childhood-onset)is characterized by a lack of insulin production.Type 2 diabetes(fromly called non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset)results from the body's ineffective use of insulin.Gestational diabetes is hyperglycaemia which is first recognized during pregnancy.Common consequences：Diabetes can damage the heart,blood vessels,eyes,kindneys,and nerves.Such as:retinopathy,neuropathy;tingling;pain;numbness,or weakness in the feet and hands;fool ulcers,even amputation;kidney failure;heart disease;stroke;cardiovascular disease.Prevent:achieve and maintain healthy body weigh;be physically active;blood testing;tabacco cessation; blood pressure control;foot care;morderate blood control,people with type 1 diabetes require insulin,people with type 2 diabetes can be treated with oral medication,but may also require insulin.screening for retinopathy;blood lipid control;screening for early signs of diabetes-related kindney disease.5.Obesity And Overweight（P70）Defintion:Overweight and obesity are defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.WHO defines “overweight” as a BMI equal to or more than 25 and “obesity” as a BMI equal to or more than 30.Reason: Energy imbalance ,unhealthy diet and physical inactivity.Consequence:Cardiovascular disease,diabetes,musculoskeletal disorders,some cancer Prevention: Achieve energy balance and a healthy weight,limit energy intake,fruit,vegetables,legumes,whole grains and nuts.increase physical activity and limit sugar intake3.Ear Infection（P52）Definnition:An ear infection means that the middle ear is infected.Occur:The middle ear space sometimes becomes filled with mucus which infected by bacteria or viruses Sometimes an ear infection occurs 'out of the blue' for no apparent reason.Main symptoms:earache, dulled hearing, fever (high temperature),children feel sick or vomit,irritable, cryingTreatment :Most bouts of ear infection will clear on their own without treatment within 2-3 days. The immune system can usually clear bacteria or viruses that cause ear infections.first use painkillers regularly,then antibioticsComplications:It is common for some mucus to remain behind the eardrum after the infection clears. Sometimes it may cause eardrum perforates.Prevented:do not use dummies in babies,prevent passive smoking of babies and childen.A long course of antibiotics used to prevent further bouts occurring for the children that have recurring bouts of ear infections close together.4.Cardiovascular Diseases（P65）Definition:Cardiovascular diseases include coronary heart disease,cerebrovascular disease, raised blood pressure ,peripheral artery disease,disease,congenital heart disease and failure.Causes:Major:tobacco use,physical inactivity,an unhealthy diet.The most common cause is a build-up of fatty deposits on the inner walls of the blood vessels that supply the heart or brain.Common symptoms:a heart attack or stroke;diffivulty in breathing or shortness of breath;feeling sick or vomiting;feeling lightheaded or faint;breaking into a cold sweatSymptom of a heart attack:pain or discomfort in the centre of the chest;pain or discomfort in the arms,the left shoulder,elbows,raw or back.Common symptom of a stroke:sudden weakness of the face,arm,or leg,most often on one side of the body;(some other symptoms inP66)Prevention:physical activity at least 30min every day;make sure enough fruit and vegetables intake and limit salt intake;check blood pressure regularly;control blood pressure and blood sugar for someone who have disbetes;maintain a ideal body weight;eat a healthy diet6.HIV and AIDS (P78)Defintion:The human immunodeficiency virus(HIV) is a retrovirus that infects cells of the human immune system, destroying or impairing their function.The most advanced stage of HIV infection is acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS) Causes:Transmissins:Unprotected sexual (anal and vaginal) ,transfusion of contaminated blood, sharing ofcontaminated needles, and between a mother and her infant during pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding.Main symptoms:encephalitis;meningitis;retinitis;pneumocystis/pneumonia;tuberculosis;tumors; esophagitis;chronic diarrhea7.Hepatitis (P102)Definition: Injury to the liver with inflammation of the liver cells.Types:Hepatitis A：Infection is through food all water that contains HA V,and Anal-oral contact during sex.it does not lead to chronic.Hepatitis B：Infection is through blood,semen,other body fluids and mother’s milk.Hepatitis C：Infection is through blood.liver cancer risk is only increased in people with cirrhosis.
