Summary Introduction

To determine:

The difference between contamination, infection and diseases and the also mention the possible outcome of each.

Introduction:

Infection is the attack on the individual body by disease-causing agents. In infection, the disease-causing agent will multiply and release the toxin inside the host body. Contamination suggests the presence of the unwanted particle in a pure material. A disease is a condition in which the health of a person deteriorates.

Explanation of Solution

The following table represents the difference between the contamination, infection and diseases are as follow:

ContaminationInfectionDiseases
Contamination means the presence of a harmful microorganism that can cause infection in the host body.Infection is the term used when the parasite or microbe multiply in the host body.A disease is a stage, in which a change in the state of health occurs. In this condition tissues and organs are damaged.

A possible outcome of contamination, infection, and disease are as follow:

(1). Contamination may or may not be infected the host body because an infection usually signifies a sickness. The outcome of contamination is an infection. Infection can be of two types local or generalized

(2). Infection leads to the various kinds of symptoms in the host body. Different sort of infection will show different symptoms. Some common symptoms are a headache, abdomen ache, chills, sweating, body pain, weight decline, loss of appetite.

(3). Disease happens when the host immune system becomes weak and the pathogen invades the cells of the host body where it has first affected.

Conclusion

Contamination means the entry of microbes, infection is the multiplication of microbes in the host body, and diseases are the stage in which the health of the host body degrades.

Glitazones reduce insulin resistance by binding to a transcription factor in adipocytes, thereby reducing thesecretion of fatty acids. Glitazones are taken orally (in pill form). Using pharmacokinetic modeling, deriveequations to describe how the concentration of glitazones varies in the plasma as a function of time. Yourequations should be of the form: dCglitazone /dt = something, or dMglitazone /dt = something. Your model shouldinclude three compartments: the gut, the plasma, and the fatty tissues. Make sure to include a diagram thatillustrates your thinking, state all assumptions, and define your variables. Do not solve the equations.
Case Study—Ella Review the case study and then answer Parts A through F. Ella has a family history of diabetes. She wants to follow a healthful eating pattern that can lower her risk for developing this condition. Her dietitian recommends a goal of 450 to 600 kcal per meal and advises Ella to follow the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR) for carbohydrates and the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020, which recommend limiting added sugar. She also recommends that Ella choose whole grains rather than processed grains. Ella decides to pack a lunch to take to work every day.
