TERMINAL DISEASE
2. CANCER
Cancer, also known as a malignant tumor,
is a group of diseases involving abnormal
cell growth with the potential to invade or
spread to other parts of the body. Not all
tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do
not spread to other parts of the body.
Possible signs and symptoms include: a
new lump, abnormal bleeding, a
prolonged cough, unexplained weight
loss, and a change in bowel movements,
among others.
3. TREATMENT
Cancer treatment is based on three
pillars: surgery, chemotherapy and
radiotherapy. Other treatment options
include hormone therapy,
immunotherapy, new non-cytotoxic
therapeutic targets and marrow
transplantation. Treatment may be
multidisciplinary, to require cooperation
between different professionals: family
physician, surgeon, oncologist,
dermatologist, pulmonologist,
4. AIDS/HIV
The acquired immunodeficiency syndrome,
known by its acronym AIDS, 1 is the set of
highly diverse diseases (usually infectious or
tumoral processes) resulting from infection
by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
5. TREATMENT
Surgery. Tumor removal in the operating
room by a surgeon, remains the foundation
of cancer treatment.
Radiotherapy. It involves the use of ionizing
radiation to kill cancer cells and to remove
the tumor or reduce its size.
Chemotherapy. Is the use of a number of
drugs called cytostatic drugs are
substances that have the ability to inhibit the
development of malignant tumors by
restricting the multiplication of its cells
hindering the process of division.
6. EBOLA VIRUS
Ebola virus (EBOV, formerly designated Zaire
ebolavirus) is the sole member of the Zaire
ebolavirus species, and the most dangerous of
the five known viruses within the genus Ebola
virus. Four of the five known ebola viruses
cause a severe and often fatal hemorrhagic
fever in humans and other mammals, known as
Ebola virus disease. The virus and its species
were both originally named for Zaire (now the
Democratic Republic of Congo).
7. TREATMENT
The Ebola virus, like all the "hot" virus has no
cure and no specific treatment. The treatment
used today is supportive, cardiopulmonary
support and intensive care, taking into
account patient privacy and the protection of
biological risk to health care providers.
Extreme care with patient secretions as it is a
highly contagious infection.
It is easy to reproduce in laboratories, highly
contagious but questionable aerosol
transmission,; Ebola mortality may reach 90%.
8. LEPROSY
Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease is a
chronic infection caused by the bacteria
Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium
lepromatosis. Initially infections are without
symptoms and typically remain this way for 5 to
as long as 20 years.[1] Symptoms that develop
include granulomas of the nerves, respiratory
tract, skin, and eyes. This may result in a lack of
ability to feel pain and thus loss of parts of
extremities due to repeated injuries. Weakness
and poor eyesight may also be present.
9. TREATMENT
A number of leprostatic agents are
available for treatment. For paucibacillary
(PB or tuberculoid) cases treatment with
daily dapsone and monthly rifampicin for
six months is recommended. While for
multibacillary (MB or lepromatous) cases
treatment with daily dapsone and
clofazimine along with monthly rifampicin
for twelve months is recommended.
10. HANTAVIRUS
Hantaviruses are single-stranded, enveloped,
negative sense RNA viruses in the Bunyaviridae
family. They normally infect rodents and don't
cause disease in these hosts. Humans may
become infected with hantaviruses through
contact with rodent urine, saliva, or feces. Some
strains of hantaviruses cause potentially fatal
diseases in humans, such as Hantavirus
hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS)
and hantavirus pulmonary syndrome (HPS),
while others have not been associated with
known human disease.
11. TREATMENT
There is no known antiviral treatment, but
natural recovery from the virus is possible
with supportive treatment. Patients with
suspected hantavirus are usually admitted
to the hospital and given oxygen and
mechanical ventilation support to help them
breathe during the acute pulmonary stage.
As the virus can be transmitted by rodent
saliva, excretia, and bites, control of rats and
mice in areas frequented by humans is key
for disease prevention.
