1. Non-Infectious Diseases (and a review of infectious)

2. The Road to Death So Far….
Pathogens and Diseases they Cause
Questions from the Burrito Book ppt?
Table – how to do it
Transmission and Prevention
Vector vs. Carrier
Immune system
Active vs. Passive Immunity
History: Edward Jenner and Dr. Snow

3. Vector vs. Carrier
A vector merely transports the disease but can’t get it.
A carrier is infected but will not show symptoms of it.

4. Leading Cause of Death in US
Heart disease: 631,636
Cancer: 559,888
Stroke : 137,119
(CDC, 2006)

5. Active vs. Passive Immunity
Active – you got sick
Passive – you got a vaccine or got the antibodies from your mom

6. Dr. Snow and the Pump

7. Non-Infectious Disease
Not caused by pathogens
Cannot be transmitted to other people
Main Catagories:
Genetics
Life-style
Environmental factors

8. Genetic or Hereditary NCD
Determined by genes
Congenital disease – born with the gene
Can be a random mutation
Some symptoms present at birth
Others don’t show up until later in life
Familial Disease Tendency
- Disease runs in family

9. Types of Genetic NCDs Chromosome Errors Down syndrome
Born with an extra chromosome

10. Genetic NCD’s Recessive gene disorders
Need recessive gene from both parents
Can be a carrier
Cystic fibrosis & sickle cell anemia

11. Genetic NCD’s Sex-linked disorders Linked to x chromosome (female)
Can be recessive in females
Color blindness, hemophilia, & muscular dystrophy

12. Environmental Risk Factors
- You don’t choose it, you just are exposed to it
Altitude
Trauma
Radiation
Sunlight, radon
War and accidents
Pollution
Modern products
Outgassing
Poisons
Manufacturing wastes
Secondhand smoke

13. Lifestyle Risk Factors
- Your choices kill you.
Food Choices
Obesity
Exercise
Alcohol
Tobacco
Stress
Sleep
Stupidity

14. Lifestyle related Disease
Cardiovascular Disease – genetic + bad habits
Hypertension, Arteriosclerosis,
Atherosclerosis, Heart Attack, Stroke,
Arrhythmias, Heart Valve Disorder,
Varicose Veins
Type 2 Diabetes – can be genetic, but usually diet based
Cancer – genetics + activating toxin

15. Inflammation is the body's attempt at self-protection.
Causes/Prevention
Oddly, it’s all a matter of
Inflammation.
Inflammation is the body's attempt at self-protection.
It is trying to remove harmful stimuli, including
damaged cells, irritants, or pathogens to begin
the healing process
Inflammation is the beginning of
most every disease we have.

Describe the symptoms of heart disease.

18. What is Cancer? Define the 5 different types of cancer?
What is the difference between benign & malignant tumors?
What is metastasis? How does it occur?

21. Signs & Symptoms Unexplained weight loss Fever Fatigue Pain
Skin changes
Thickening/ lumps
Unusual bowel movements
Unusual bleeding

22. Diagnosis Early detection!!!!!!!! Screening Self-test Pap-test
Cervical examination
Colonoscopy
Looks inside colon
Biopsy
Removal of cell/ tissue for examination

23. Treatment Chemotherapy Radiation Therapy Surgery
Drugs that kill cancer cell
Often taken in combination
Pill or injection form
Radiation Therapy
Radiation can stop growth/ division of cancer cells
Surgery
Removal of tumor or cancer cells

24. Prevention Avoid tobacco. Avoid alcohol. Protect against the sun.
Avoid chemicals/ carcinogens.
Increase fiber intake.
Reduce fiber intake.
Eat balanced diet.
Self-test.
Get regular physical activity.
