Los Angeles City College A Microbial Disease Tuberculosis Summary and Presentation
Select a disease that affects humans or animals whose causative agent is a bacterium, virus, fungus, protozoa, or other microorganism.Create and deliver a presentation on your chosen disease in which you report on each of the following in detail:
Causative Agent: Describe and classify the microbe involved. If known, explain how the microbe causes/transmits the disease or interferes with normal body function. Also, describe the vector and/or life cycle for the microbe (if applicable).Population(s) affected: What population(s) is/are at highest risk of contracting the disease? Are there any groups of people who should be tested? Please include statistical/geographical data and trends (from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, World Health Organization, or other source [http://www.cdc.gov (Links to an external site.), http://www.who.int (Links to an external site.), etc.]).Course of Disease: What are the usual signs/symptoms of someone with the disease? How is the disease diagnosed? What is the usual time course for recovery? Are there complications and/or long-term effects?Interventions: Describe possible treatments and/or medical interventions.

Module 3: Discussion Forum
Before you begin crafting your discussion response for this week, be
sure to read the required materials and watch Episode Two and Episode
Three of the Designing Healthy Communities (Links to an external site.) PBS miniseries. New Urbanism: Principles of Urbanism describes a philosophy of community design taken from the book Suburban Nation: The Rise of Sprawl and the Decline of the American Dream.
You can either read that text using a Google search or watch the PBS
miniseries and read the list of new urbanism principles linked below.
The principles suggest that a community should promote walkability, the
state of accommodating walking. To do that, the authors recommend the
following: Streets should be narrow and sidewalks wide; services should
be located close to residences; garages should be in back, off of
alleys; houses should be close together and close to the street; and a
mixture of homes of varying sizes and costs should be spread throughout
the community to promote diversity. The design of the homes themselves
should encourage interaction with neighbors and a sense of place.A full list of the principles can be found here: http://www.newurbanism.org/newurbanism/principles.html (Links to an external site.)“New Urbanism” proposes a “smart growth” development plan of the country’s sprawling suburbs. The article Neighborhood Design and Walking Trips in Ten US Metropolitan Area (Links to an external site.)s discusses how neighborhood design impacts walkability in U.S. cities.After reading the article above and researching the New Urbanism
Smart Score card criteria, how would you rate your community, the place
you are using for your Portfolio Project?How does what you observed in your own community relate to what you read about in Chapter 3 of Public Health Ethics this week as far as the importance of community health?This week, look around where you live to see if you can spot any of
these New Urbanism design principles in buildings or neighborhoods.
(Keep in mind that the structures would probably be fewer than 10 years
old.) Post descriptions of these buildings or neighborhoods along with
any information you can find online as to why the project was
undertaken. If you can’t find any New Urbanism designs at work where you
live, go online and find 3-4 structures or neighborhood elements that
illustrate these design principles. Describe their history and why they
were built.In your post, also include the following points:Does your community suffer from urban sprawl?Is your community at risk of (greater) urban sprawl in the future?How would New Urbanism designs help to reduce problems you see in your community?Are there any policies that would help reduce urban sprawl in your community?
