A person is exposed to B. anthracis when he or she comes in contact with the anthrax bacteria or is present in an environment that contains B. anthracis. A person can be exposed without having disease. Disease caused by B. anthracis occurs when there is some sign of illness, such as the skin lesion that occurs with cutaneous anthrax. A person who is exposed to B. anthracis but given appropriate antibiotics can avoid getting anthrax.

A person can be said to be exposed to anthrax when that person comes in contact with the anthrax bacteria and a culture taken from that person is positive for anthrax. A person can be exposed without having disease. A person who might have come in contact with anthrax, but without a positive culture would be said to be potentially exposed. Disease caused by anthrax occurs when there is some sign of illness, such as the skin lesion that occurs with cutaneous anthrax.

Exposure B. “Urban and suburban areas, wooded areas, or other terrain with numerous closely spaced obstructions having the size of single-family dwellings or larger. Exposure B shall be assumed unless the site meets the definition of another type exposure.” Exposure C. “Open terrain with scattered obstructions, including surface undulations or other irregularities, having heights generally less than 30 feet extending more than 1,500 feet from the building in any quadrant.

Asbestos diseases may be placed in two categories. Cancerous and noncancerous. Asbestos is a potent carcinogen. The primary forms of cancer of the lung which have been linked to asbestos exposure are: Mesothelioma usually starts in the pleura of the lung, which is an outside lining of the lungs. To see where the pleura is, click here. There is also a form of mesothelioma called peritoneal mesothelioma, which is not a cancer of the lung, but the peritoneum, which is the area below the lung.

Lung tissue damage, pain episodes and stroke. The blockage of blood flow caused by sickled cells also causes damage to most organs including the spleen, kidneys and liver.

People with celiac disease experience marked intestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and gas upon the consumption of foods that contain gluten, such as products made from wheat, oats, rye, and barley. Upon the elimination of gluten-containing foods, the symptoms disappear. Some people with IBS may experience an aggravation of symptoms with the consumption of similar wheat-related products and eliminating these products can help alleviate symptoms.

Aging is a syndrome of changes to organs, to cells and to biological molecules that is deleterious, progressive and irreversible. Aging is caused by sugars which cross-link proteins, by free radicals and by toxins. Telomere (chromosome end) shortening causes aging primarily in the immune system. Molecular damage to proteins, DNA and other macromolecules can be fixed − by replacing or repairing the affected molecules.

The earlier units only had 1/4" inputs and outputs. Inputs are fully balanced, outputs are single-ended (some say "quasi-balanced") auto balancee/unbalanced. Ability to drive longer cables is less and high frequency rolloff can be a concern due to cable capacitance. Around 1994 we updated the design and changed to the "B" designation. These units have fully balanced inputs and outputs, both XLR and 1/4" TRS connections being utilized. Functionally the units are virtually identical.

Hepatitis A (HAV) is caused by a virus found in feces (people's stool). You can get it by coming in contact with infected feces. The most common way is by swallowing food or liquids that get contaminated by hands that are not washed thoroughly after using the toilet. You can also get Hepatitis A through sexual acts like 'rimming' (licking someone's anus) or via oral sex on a male's penis after he has had anal sex.

No, there is no clinical difference between paralytic polio caused by wild poliovirus, OPV or a VDPV.

Yeast infections are not caused by group B strep bacteria. Taking antibiotics can sometimes increase the chances of having a yeast infection. When bacteria that are normally found in the vagina are killed by antibiotics, yeast may have a chance to grow more quickly than usual.

The tibialis anterior muscle is an antipronator due to its insertion on the medial aspect of the foot. When overpronation occurs, the tibialis anterior has ot fire constantly to oppose the over-overpronation, causing swelling of the muscle. Due to the fact that the anterior compartment of the leg is tightly constricted, the swollen Tibialis Anterior can cause an obstruction of blood flow which can cause severe pain due to lack of oxgen.

Yes. Hepatitis B and Hepatitis B Surface Antigen (HBsAg)-positive results in pregnant women are notifiable conditions and are considered diseases of public health significance to the Florida Department of Health. As such, they are to be reported by the laboratory conducting the test and the physician who orders the test. Reporting should be made to the health department in the county in which the woman resides.
