Do Now: Make a list of all the Diseases that you can think of.
2
Non-Infectious Diseases AKA NON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES
3
Non-Infectious Disease
Not caused by pathogens Cannot be transmitted to other people Risk factors: Genetics Life-style Environmental factors

Genetic Risk Factors Determined by genes
Congenital disease is present at birth Others don’t show up until later in life Familial Disease Tendency Disease runs in family
6
Genetic Risk Factors Recessive gene disorders Down syndrome
Need recessive gene from both parents Can be a carrier Cystic fibrosis & sickle cell anemia Down syndrome Born with extra chromosome Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common, fatal genetic disease in the United States. About 30,000 people in the United States have the disease. CF causes the body to produce thick, sticky mucus that clogs the lungs, leads to infection, and blocks the pancreas, which stops digestive enzymes from reaching the intestine where they are required in order to digest food. Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a fatal genetic disorder, most commonly occurring in children, that results in progressive destruction of the nervous system. Sickle cell disease is a hereditary disease seen most often among people of African ancestry. Caused by mutations in one of the genes that encode the hemoglobin protein, the disease is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The mutation causes the red blood cells to take on an unusual sickle shape. Individuals affected by sickle cell disease are chronically anemic and experience significant damage to their heart, lungs, and kidneys. People who have Down syndrome have learning difficulties, a characteristic facial appearance, and poor muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy.
7
Genetic Risk Factors Sex-linked disorders
Linked to x chromosome (female) Can be recessive in females Color blindness, hemophilia, & muscular dystrophy Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. In muscular dystrophy, abnormal genes (mutations) interfere with the production of proteins needed to form healthy muscle. Hemophilia is a rare disorder in which your blood doesn't clot normally because it lacks sufficient blood-clotting proteins (clotting factors) A sex chromosome is a type of chromosome that participates in sex determination. Humans and most other mammals have two sex chromosomes, the X and the Y. Females have two X chromosomes in their cells, while males have both X and a Y chromosomes in their cells. Egg cells all contain an X chromosome, while sperm cells contain an X or Y chromosome. This arrangement means that it is the male that determines the sex of the offspring when fertilization occurs.

Environmental Risk Factors
Pollution Smoke Sunlight Radiation Altitude Water Current event-Michigan Flint's drinking water became contaminated with lead in 2014 after switching its supply source from Lake Huron to the more polluted and corrosive Flint River. The move — a cost-cutting measure while the city was under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager — resulted in a spike in lead levels in children, which causes permanent brain damage. Radiation can cause cancer. Large doses death
9
Lifestyle Risk Factors
Diet Obesity Exercise Alcohol Tobacco Stress Sleep
10
Leading Cause of Death in US
Heart disease: 631,636 Cancer: 559,888 Stroke : 137,119 (CDC, 2006)
11
What do you think the Leading Causes of death were in 1900?
Turn Volume down ad! Ask what students think are the leading cause of death in the US. In 1900, the top 3 causes of death were infectious diseases—pneumonia and flu, tuberculosis, and gastrointestinal infections (a fourth infectious disease, diphtheria, was the 10th leading cause of death).Improvements in sanitation, public health (vaccination development and delivery), and medical treatments, such as antibiotics, led to dramatic declines in deaths from infectious diseases during the 20th century.
12
Create a true or false 4 question quiz on the information that was presented today.
13
The Heart of the Matter
15
Cardiovascular Disease
Disease of Cardiovascular system CV system is… Heart Blood Vessels Arteries Vein Capillaries Blood
16
Types of CV Disease Hypertension Arteriosclerosis Atherosclerosis
Heart Attack Stroke Arrhythmias Heart Valve Disorder Varicose Veins
17
Hypertension High Blood Pressure Normal=120/80 Over 120/80= At risk
Thickening of blood vessel walls Narrows passageways for blood
18
Arteriosclerosis Hardening of the arteries
Narrows blood vessels & blocks blood flow Atherosclerosis Fat deposits in blood vessels
19
Heart Attack Caused by lack of oxygen delivery to cells
Coronary heart disease Blockage of coronary arteries Caused by fat deposits and/or blood clots Causes heart attack Cardiac Arrest Entire heart stops
20
Stroke Disrupts blood flow to brain No oxygen to brain Brain cells die
Caused by fatty deposits, blood clots, or burst arteries Aneurysm Weak spot in blood vessel that can burst
21
Stroke Effects Speech Senses Movement Memory Behavior
Depending on side of the brain
22
Heart Valve Disease 4 valves in heart 2 between atria & ventricle
2 between heart & arteries Bypass Surgery
23
Arrhythmias & Varicose Veins
Abnormal heart beat Pacemaker Defibrillator Varicose Veins Large blue veins One-way valves don’t work
24
Testing & Diagnosis Electrocardiogram (ECG/ EKG) Stress Test
Graphs electrical impulses and heart beats Stress Test ECG during exercise Chest X-Ray Picture of heart
25
Prevention Don’t smoke Exercise regularly Manage stress Manage diet
Avoid saturated fat & cholesterol Replace red meat with chicken and fish Eat more fruits & veggies Avoid sweets, oils, & fats
