Once there, watch the videos listed. These videos introduce you to some of the major challenges facing scientists and doctors as they try to combat emerging, highly infectious, and resistant microbes.
When you watch the videos, make note of instances where the increased use of certain aseptic techniques and/or other human interventions or actions has actually led to a higher incidence of diseases resistant to current treatments or the emergence of infectious agents never seen before.
- In your discussion post, describe two instances of increased disease and the underlying causes. Explain how you think the medical and scientific community should respond
preview of the answer….
In all countries, the developed and the third world countries, there has been a significant and alarming increase in the rate of chronic diseases. The main challenge that is faced is that in most countries, the availability of resources, both financial and human resources is a major challenge. With such challenges, it is hard to control and prevent the diseases. If there were available resources, the diseases would be controlled by managing their underlying causes. The rates of chronic diseases have been and are still rising.
