The oncolytic virus replicates inside malignant tumor cells which causes them to rupture. Just the use of oncolytic MeV usually is not enough to cure advanced stage tumors so combination therapy is required.]]> 2022-11-23 17:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882286 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882346 The Measles virus is caused by Morbillivirus which is in the family Paramyxoviridae. ]]> 2022-11-23 17:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882346 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882405 Symptoms can change as the number of days progresses, after being infected symptoms will begin to show around days seven to fourteen. 
These include: 
- High fever 
- Cough
- Runny nose
- Watery eyes
- Koplik spots 
- Measles rash

Complications can range from severe to common. People at higher risk for complications include pregnant women, people with a comprised immune system, and children younger than 5 years old.
- Pneumonia 
- Encephalitis (swelling in the brain)
- Death
- Premature Birth
- Ear infections (Common Complication)
- Diarrhea (Common Complication)]]> 2022-11-23 17:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882405 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882448 To diagnose measles a healthcare provider will ask a series of questions after identifying the rash and kopliks spots on the inside of the mouth. They may ask if you or your child have been out of the United States and in contact with someone with a rash or fever. Blood tests, urine samples, and throat swabs can be used to confirm the diagnosis. 

There is no specific treatment for measles but there are steps that can be taken to prevent complications and relieve symptoms. 
- Antibiotics are used to treat pneumonia or ear infections
- Vitamin A
- Fever Reducers
- Fluids
- Post-exposure vaccination
- Immune Serum Globulin
- Rest]]> 2022-11-23 17:52:08 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882448 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882512 The best prevention for measles is a vaccine called MMR which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. MMR is given in two doses, the first at the age of 12-15 months and the second at 4-6 years. Measles can also be prevented in children from 12 months to 12 years with the MMRV vaccine which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella. ]]> 2022-11-23 17:52:12 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882512 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882565 Measles virus,  also known as Rubeola, is a contagious negative single-strand RNA virus. This virus is spread through coughing and sneezing, when spread to another person a fever and rash on the skin forms. ]]> 2022-11-23 17:52:16 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882565 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882610 2022-11-23 17:52:19 UTC https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882610 clkerlin https://padlet.com/clkerlin/e03nbedvvkyri5kp/wish/2395882671 Christine E.
