Talk to your doctor the right timing for the vaccine. You can prevent chickenpox by avoiding close contact with people infected by the virus.This is even more important if you have a weak immune system.But the virus can spread from an infected person even before symptoms develop. Chickenpox is usually mild and can be treated at home. Most people feel better within a week or so. There is no cure, but the treatments below can help relieve the symptoms while the body fights the infection.]]> 2017-05-30 13:43:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412183 Sophia Campos (Avian Flu) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412368 This type of flu is most often contracted by contact with sick birds. It can also be passed from person to person.
Symptoms begin within two to eight days, and can seem like the common flu. Cough, fever, sore throat, muscle aches, headache, and shortness of breath may occur.
The disease can carry a high mortality in humans. Some antiviral drugs, if taken within two days of symptoms, may help. It's also known as the Bird Flu.

There are many strains, or version, of influenza virus, each, or version, of influenza virus, each slightly different than the others. Them make humans sick, giving us the combination of fever, coughing, body aches, upset stomach, vomiting, and diarrhea that we call the flu. Some strains effect mostly birds giving them avian flu. And swine flu comes from strains that usually only infects pigs.                  ]]> 2017-05-30 13:44:48 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412483 Lesly Guerrero(Alzheimer's Disease) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412497 Alzheimer's affects brain function usually as a result of a disease or brain damage it can also affect a person memory or attention.

In fact we've known it for about 70 years. It was first Identified in Uganda's Zika Forest. The virus has now confined to Africa and Asia,but in 2015,Zika was first identified in the Americans. It all started with an outbreak in Brazil. Within a year,there were thousands of Zika cases across Latin America and the Caribbean. It was enough of a spread to call the outbreak an epidemic. Zika is not a serious danger for most people. For those who do get sick the symptoms are usually mild. The most common symptom is an itchy,red rash. Their is also sometimes fever,joint pain or stingy eyes.Most people are back to normal in about a week. In other cases Zika has also been linked to Guillain-Barre Syndrome the body's immune system goes haywire and attacks its own nerves. It can be serious,but it is really rare for that to happen. The much bigger concern with Zika is in pregnant women. Infected mothers Rae more likely to have babies with brain defects like microcephaly. If you don't know what microcephaly is when the brain doesn't fully develop and it leads to issues with speech coordination,and reasoning skills. Zika isn't passed from person to person. It spread most often through mosquito bites. They live in mostly tropical climates. Zika doesn't spread from mosquitoes to humans. It can go from humans to mosquitoes,too. An infected tourist might visit a place with no history of the virus. If the right kind of mosquito bites him, it can get infected.That is how viruses can spread thought places.That is how I discribe Zika Virus.]]> 2017-05-30 13:44:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412518 Melanie Hernandez (West Nile Virus) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412556 The disease West Nile Virus is give to you when a mosquito bites you. Is there a cure for the West Nile Virus "No vaccine or specific antiviral treatments for West Nile virus infection are available. In severe cases, patients often need to be hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication, and nursing care." The WNV was discovered in Africa in 1937. WNV mainly concerns adults over 50 and people with weak immune systems.]]> 2017-05-30 13:45:03 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412556 (Lyme Disease)Enedina Flores https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412668 Have you ever heard of Lyme disease?Well I am going to explain what  Lyme diseases is. Lyme disease is usually caused by arachnids called ticks.They carry the borrelia burgdorferi bactevium. It's named for the towhs of Lyme and old Lyme Connecticut.where a auster of the disease was identified in the 1970. You should check your pets too! They are known to have tick that can pass on too you.venture into the woods or any placa with tall grass. You should probably wear long pants and sleeves and apply a bug repellent called deet to your skin and clothing, but keep in mind that ticks can hitch rides on dogs and cats to trauel into your home. This is pretty gross but like mosquitoes ticks eat blood. deer ticks like to burrow in harry areas like your scalp and neck and even armpits, and in warm areas like the back of your nees and between your feet.you can contract Lyme disease when a tiek carrying the borrelia burg dorferi bacterium bites you Lyme disease is difficult to pintoint because it's symptoms are pretty queneral.]]> 2017-05-30 13:45:25 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412668 Gabriela Guerrero(cancer) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412719 Cancer is a disease that makes your cells reproduce too quickly.
A lot of people do die from cancer if you get cancer, your cells growth goes out of control.Extra cells form a lump called a tumor . Tumors are frightening but not all of  them are dangerous. If you develop one of these, a doctor will probably take it out through surgery once it's out your usually ok. While a benign tumor usually just forms a lump, malignant tumors keep growing and growing. It's very dangerous because if a malignant tumor gets too large, cancer cells can enter your bloodstream they can also travel to other parts of your body, and infect them with cancer.]]> 2017-05-30 13:45:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412719 https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412789 David Najera (diabetes)

Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, or DMD, is the most common form of the condition. It affects one in 3500 boys. Girls can be born with DMD, but it's really rare. Kids with muscular dystrophy don't have muscles that work like they should. Muscles play a big part in the way our bodies develop and function, so a condition that's messing with your muscles is going to affect your overall health. It can be hard to tell when young children have a serious condition like DMD. Kids, and, like we said, usually boys, are generally diagnosed with DMD between the ages of 1 and 6. There are some noticeable symptoms: Children with DMD usually have trouble jumping and hopping. They may fall down frequently, and have problems doing things like: running, climbing stairs, and getting up from a seated positions. Boys with DMD use a move called Gower's Maneuver to stand up. Basically, they'll use their hands and arms to "walk" their bodies upright. Some boys walk on their toes a lot. It's because their achilles tendons tighten up. These signs help doctors spot DMD early. That's important, because the effects of muscular dystrophy are progressive, meaning they increase over time. DMD causes more and more muscle weakness as individual muscle cells die. The muscles don't necessarily get smaller. Lots of times, the muscle cells turn into fat and scar tissue, so the muscle can look big, but it's not strong. As a child with DMD grows up, the condition gets more serious. Things that most of us take for granted, like running, walking, or even hugging someone you love become more difficult as the disease progresses. Kids with DMD will eventually need some help getting around. They'll need to hold onto something as they walk, and eventually use an electric wheelchair or electric scooter. DMD is not contagious. Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder that you're with. It's caused by a change in a person's DNA sequence. Muscular dystrophy is a mistake in a part of the program that keeps muscles healthy. The muscles can't produce Dystrophin, a protein that acts as shock absorber to make muscles stable. Treatment is improving all the time, but there's still no cure for DMD. Physical therapy can slow down its progress.]]> 2017-05-30 13:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412866 Alejandro Contreras ( Allergies) An allergy is a sickness of the immune system, the tissues and organs that protect your body against germs and dangerous substances. The immune system' s reaction can cause annoying symptoms, like a runny nose, sneezing , and itchy bumps called hives. It can also cause an asthma attack, a narrowing of the airways in the lungs that makes it hard to breathe. https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412964 2017-05-30 13:46:40 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412964 Shelby Botello (SmallPox) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412982 You are not suppose to scratch smallpox.Smallpox is moreless kind of like the chicken pox only it is more serious.The virus we call smallpox can travel through the air and spread from one person to another very easily.A person with smallpox generally develops a high fever,muscle pain, and sometimes vomiting and then a rash a little red bumps.These symptoms can take their toll on the body, and small pox can lead to death.Lots of people get the chicken pox's but no one has got smallpox. Many scientists believe that smallpox originated more than 3,000 years ago in Africa before spreading to India and China. The virus was so contagious that it swept across continents,wiping out entire populations 20 or 30 percent of people infected with smallpox died,and survivors were left with scars and often blinded in1796 a doctor named Edward Jenner figured out how to successfully vaccinate a person against smallpox. The test subject stayed healthy, and an effective vaccine for smallpox. That meant vaccinating people in all parts of the world. The vaccination plan worked and the last natural case of smallpox occurred in Somalia in 1977, success was announced in 1980.]]> 2017-05-30 13:46:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174412982 Carlos Torres (Scoliosis) https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174413043 Scoliosis is a disease that some people get when they are

Cystic Fibrosis does cause respiratory problems and people get winded more easily and have trouble breathing sometimes.People with CF cough a lot. Sometime the coughing can be pretty bad, but Cystic Fibrosis is not at all contagious. Those respiratory problems come from thickening  of mucus in the lungs. That's a sticky fluid our bodies make to protect and lubricate our organs. In our lungs, it captures unhealthy stuff like germs and bacteria, and when we cough it up out go those harmful microbes. In people with CF, it's much thicker almost like glue. The stickier mucus is the more clogged airways get and make it difficult to breathe, and it also traps a lot of more germs, but it's way harder to expel. So lung infections from chest colds to pneumonia are more common. The thicker mucus comes from a problem with a cell called CFTR. It's part of cell membranes thoughout the body. CFTR controls the flow of water into and out of the cell. When CFTR is working properly. Mucus around the cell is fluid and runny, but when the protein is missing or malfunctioning, water stays trapped inside the cells, as a result, mucus is starved of water, and it becomes thick and sticky. Cystic Fibrosis doesn't only affect the lungs. It also limits the function of the pancreas, an organ that helps you absorb nutrients. Normally, the pancreas releases digestive enzymes into the small intestine. The enzymes break down into the nutrient our bodies needs. In people with CF thick mucus blocks the tubes that deliver the enzymes. So nutrients stay trapped inside the food. Kids with cystic fibrosis often struggle with malnutrition. They tends to be on the smaller side and have trouble ganining weight, and eating plenty of snacks can boost their energy levels. They also take enzyme pills to help them digest. For their lungs, they do daily treatments to keep the airways clear.]]> 2017-05-30 13:47:20 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174413131 Amber Serna.

It's caused by brain injury that occur before birth or very early in life. These injuries can impair movement, coordination, speech, and learning. The word Cerebral means related to the brain. The word Palsy means difficulty with movement. Cerebral Palsy affects different kids in different ways. This problems can affect just about any muscle in the body. It all depends on which area of the brain. The parts of the brain responsible for sending out these messages have lesions,  or damage areas. Cerebral Palsy affects kids throughout their entire lives, but it's non-progressive that means it doesn't get worse over time. Cerebral Palsy is non-contagious.

When one identical twin has its likely the other does too.
Some may have learning disabilities and other may have trouble with fine motor skills and coordination.still at the heart of ADHD are three core characteristics : inattention impulsivity and hyperactivity.
Kids with ADHD are just as smart as everybody else but they have more trouble focasing.when kids can't concentrate no matter how hard they try and get bored with something after a few minutes this is inattention but kids with ADHD really have a hard time staying focused more so than other kids. When someone acts impulsively it mean they don't think before they do something. This might mean calling out answers to   
Questions out of turn or throwing a ball at someone who isn't ready. If you know someone with ADHD you probably see that they're really energetic to the point of not being able to sit sill and feeling really restless a lot of the time. Daydreaming forgetfulness being disorganized and problems interacting with friends and family  can also be symptoms of ADHD.all of us have these problems every how and then but kids with ADHD have to deal with them all the time. Lots of people think that kids with ADHD are trouble makers and that just plain not fair. Kids with ADHD try hard to behave just like other kids it's just a whole lot more challenging for them. Well not everyone who problems with paying attention has ADHD. But only a doctor can diagnose
 you with ADHD. There are also treatments that can help kids with ADHD . combining medicine special techniques and enotional support from parents teachers and doctors. People with ADHD can learn 
Control their attention and minimize impulsive behavior.]]> 2017-05-30 13:49:18 UTC https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174413627 https://padlet.com/gpalau105/51asgdraaz6c/wish/174414061 David Najera (Diabetes)
