As it is for people‚ the flu is extremely contagious among dogs as well. For dogs the flu symptoms are similar to our own and also similar to kennel cough. The flu lasts anywhere from two to five weeks. There are typically no

The Swine Flu is a serious infection that has been known to kill people over the world. In the United States alone we‚ have had our fair cases and scares from this infection. The first report of the swine flu in the United States was in 2009. It is no surprise that ever since then Americans have been afraid because the swine flu has the same symptoms as the original flu. This will be explained what these symptoms are in a moment. What I will also inform everyone about is how long is has been a problem

Camera Shots A camera shot is the amount of space that is seen in one shot or frame. Camera shots are used to demonstrate different aspects of a film’s setting‚ characters and themes. As a result‚ camera shots are very important in shaping meaning in a film. Reviewing the examples on the right hand side of this page should make the different camera shots clearer. An extreme long shot (animation on right) contains a large amount of landscape. It is often used at the beginning of a scene or a film

virus it protects against can mutate‚ rendering the vaccine useless and ineffective in preventing infection. The Center for Disease Control says that‚ “By the time flu season rolled around in the Northern Hemisphere‚ more than two thirds of the H3N2 viruses making people sick no longer matched the formulation in the flu vaccine” (CDC: Flu Vaccine Only 23 Percent Effective This Season‚ but Still Better than Nothing). With this information in mind‚ it may seem that vaccines are useless; however‚ vaccines

The Spanish flu of 1918-1919 was the worst global disaster in the American history‚ it killed more people in one year than twenty four years of AIDS from 1980 to 2004. The Spanish flu was an infectious disease caused by the (H1N1) virus. The pandemic led to important developments in medicine‚ for example the efficiency of vaccinations. This research essay will firstly consider the epidemiology of the Spanish flu in the united states between 1918 and 1919‚ then it will examine its treatment and prevention
