I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

【The six most terrifying infectious diseases in popular science】

【Start popular science No. 2: Cholera】

【Cholera is also an ancient term, first appearing in the 5th century BC】

【WHO estimates that there are approximately 1.3 to 4 million cholera cases worldwide each year, and 21,000 to 143,000 cholera patients die each year.】

【Cholera is a severe intestinal infectious disease caused by Vibrio cholerae.】

【Vibrio cholerae infects the human body through contaminated water or food, producing enterotoxin and causing disease】

【Vibrio cholerae is found in water, and the most common cause of infection is the consumption of water contaminated by a patient's feces. Vibrio cholerae can produce cholera toxin, causing secretory diarrhea. Diarrhea will continue even if you no longer eat. Rice-washed stool is a characteristic of cholera.】

【The clinical manifestations are as follows:】

【1. Diarrhea and vomiting period】

【The diarrhea and vomiting phase often begins with sudden diarrhea, followed by vomiting.】

【Generally, there is no obvious abdominal pain or tenesmus. Several times a day, even hard to count, and the amount is large. After diarrhea, projectile and borderline vomiting occurs, which is initially gastric contents, then watery and rice-like.】

【Vomiting is often accompanied by nausea】

【A small number of patients have diarrhea without vomiting】

【Due to severe diarrhea and vomiting, a large amount of body fluids and electrolytes are lost, leading to circulatory failure, which is manifested by a 460-degree drop in blood pressure, a weak pulse, a significant increase in hemoglobin and plasma specific gravity, and reduced urine output or even anuria.】

【The excretion of organic acids and nitrogen products in the body is hindered, and patients often develop early symptoms of acidosis and uremia.】

【A large amount of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium are lost in the blood, and the patient develops systemic electrolyte imbalance.】

【Sodium deficiency can cause muscle spasms, especially the gastrocnemius and rectus abdominis muscles. Potassium deficiency can cause hypokalemia syndrome, such as systemic muscle hypotonia, loss of tendon reflexes, tympanic bowel, tachycardia, arrhythmia, etc. Due to the large loss of bicarbonate ions, metabolic acidosis may occur. In severe cases, confusion may occur and blood pressure may drop.】

【2. Dehydration and collapse stage】

【The appearance of patients in the dehydration and collapse stage is very obvious. In severe cases, the eyes are sunken, the voice is hoarse, the skin is dry and shriveled, the elasticity is lost, the abdomen is sunken and scapho-shaped, the lips and tongue are dry, thirsty and thirsty, the limbs are cold, and the body temperature often drops below normal. , muscle spasm or twitching】

【3. Recovery period】

【A few patients (mostly children) may have a febrile reaction at this time, with the body temperature rising to 38-39, which usually lasts for 1 to 3 days and then subsides on its own, so this period is also called the reaction period. The average course of illness is 3 to 7 days】

【(dbab) treatment methods:】

【The principle of treatment of this disease is strict isolation, rapid replenishment of water and electrolytes, correction of acidosis, supplemented by antibacterial treatment and symptomatic treatment】

【1.General treatment and care】

【(1) Strict isolation according to digestive tract infectious diseases. The isolation can be lifted only after 6 days of symptom disappearance and 3 negative tests. All patient items must be strictly disinfected. Ward staff must strictly abide by the disinfection and isolation system to prevent cross-infection.】

【(2) Rest. Severe patients should rest in bed until symptoms improve】

【(3) Diet. Patients with severe diarrhea and vomiting should stop eating and drinking. When the vomiting stops and the diarrhea subsides, a liquid diet can be given, and the diet can be slowly increased as tolerated by the patient.】

【(4) Replenishing water is the basic treatment for cholera. Mild patients can take oral rehydration, while severe cases need intravenous rehydration. After the symptoms improve, oral rehydration can be given.】

【......】

【Popular science on common electrolytes in the human body:】

【Calcium, chloride, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium】

【Electrolyte-rich foods:】

【Spinach, pickle juice, lentils, dried apricots, sunflower seeds, tempeh, bananas, watermelon, oranges, avocados, other green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, coconut water, bone broth, etc.】

【......】

The eyes of ancient people were full of fear.

They are all too familiar with this disease!

Every time it appears, it can turn a village or even a city into a dead city!

What’s even more terrifying is that there is no cure for this disease!

No matter what medicine he took, it didn't take long for the patient to vomit almost all of it, as if he hadn't taken it.

And those who are sick are even more indescribable.

I spent most of the day in the toilet.

If the family is not careful, the sick person will die inside.....

It can be said to be disgusting and unlucky.

Nowadays, ancient people finally know the source of infection and the general treatment methods.

"I said, how come one person got this plague, and soon the whole village suffered? It turned out that the well water was contaminated!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"Damn, thanks to the light curtain, otherwise we would still be in the dark"

"Electrolyte-rich foods? Come on, next time someone gets this strange disease, remember to buy more spinach and cook it."

"spinach? I just pulled a cart, come on, spinach is on sale! Spinach on sale! Spinach is cheap..."

"......"

Qin Dynasty.

After reading the popular science, Ying Zheng gave an order:

"Write down the symptoms of this disease. From now on, this disease will be called cholera."

"Next time this kind of plague breaks out somewhere, I don't want the county magistrates to still report the"epidemic", but to report the detailed names."

"In this way, treatment can be facilitated and prevention can be carried out in advance."

"Best of both worlds."

After saying that, Ying Zheng only felt that he was wise and powerful.

Most plagues were caused by dragging them out.

First, he needed to identify the type of plague, and then ordered doctors to bring herbs for treatment, which was very time-consuming.

If he followed his will, he could save money. lot of time[]

Prevent the plague from spreading further.

Three Kingdoms period.

War is often linked to plague.

Especially on the battlefield, if the corpses of soldiers are left undisposed of, a plague will break out soon.

Cao Cao was very excited

"Very good! Gu finally knew the origin of the disease"

"A military order was issued: soldiers with stomach upset are not allowed to go near the water source!"

"What you use is not allowed to be shared with others."

"In addition, if there is a soldier in the army who has a serious stomachache, he should be cordoned off immediately, along with the person who is looking after him."

"Also, in the army, soldiers who have stomach problems are given more spinach to eat."

"......"

The other two countries have similar situations.
