   Senior: As someone who is extroverted, Langley is seemingly the best suited high school for me. I have gotten along with the majority of people. Moving to Great Falls the summer before my eighth grade year was a hard transition, as Langley is more student oriented than my last schooling system. The school spirit at Langley is elevated, making me proud of what school I go to. The academic system, though challenging, allows me to grow as a student to the best of my ability. Overall, my experience being a Langley High School student is astounding…. Read 269 reviews

   Sophomore: Last year, I started freshman year at James Madison High School, and the experience so far has been absolutely unbelievable! The school offers a variety of clubs to bring the student community together, and I have recently joined Key Club and Junior Civitan in order to give back to my community. Moreover, my experience with club members and others in the student body has been remarkable! The student community that Madison has built is diverse, success driven, and unified. The school also includes a pleather of sports teams, where students can focus on team building, health, and competitive drive. I am currently a member of the Tennis Team, and though my time on the team so far has been cut short due to the pandemic, I have created several new friends and improved my athletic ability. Lastly, I have not had a single bad experience in my learning, and all of my teachers have inspired me to strive for success and push myself in order to become an even better learner….

4. Parent: My husband and I wanted an inclusive school that would be an extension of our family, and we found that in the Burgundy Community. We made the decision to send my son to Burgundy in JK and looking back now as he is in the midst of 2nd grade, choosing Burgundy was the best decision. Burgundy is a nurturing community that fosters the whole child, ensuring life long learners. Burgundy leans into a child’s individual character and ensures every child is heard and has a voice. My son loves Burgundy and is thriving. I know without a doubt that Burgundy will lay the foundation for my son’s continued success, not only in his future academic pursuits, but in life as a whole!… Read 10 reviews

    Sophomore: South Lakes has an amazing community in which learning is really prioritized. It has a great performing arts department and the IB Diploma Program is there as well. IB provides for a lot of cool discussions on the thinking process, but there is a heavy push from the school to take a full IB Diploma. It is a very work heavy track and not a great fit for all, yet the strong encouragement to take IB classes remains the same from student to student.
    The teachers I have had have been amazing especially during Covid-19. They are understanding and Supportive and are a huge help to students. My teachers have made it a goal to make me succeed and it shows in their teaching. One thing I would recommend with taking classes, is to take personal finance over the summer! There are so many fun classes and awesome teachers to have, that getting that class out of the way so super helpful!… Read 533 reviews

    Alum: A diverse school of opportunities, filled with a great spectrum of academics and extra curricular activities. I had the privilege of attending Westfield High School and had the chance to meet such a wonderful team of excellent teachers who not only helped me throughout my high school experience, but never gave up on my excellence and the potential I had within. There was such a wide range of electives to chose from, from Information Technology, theatrics, chorus, to one of my favorites – sculpting class! Getting the chance to choose any elective I wanted really gave me an eyes view at what I could possibly want as a career down the road, opening the door to an opportunity of a lifetime. Although, picking the right one isn’t always the easiest; It was well worth the experience!… Read 587 reviews

30. Senior: The one thing Flint Hill has that most High Schools do not is an extensive Robotics lab. The lab has private servers for coding classes, materials for building robots, and space for testing. My Freshman year in High School, I was fortunate enough to take Robotics as one of my elective classes, and my first impression became a rush of desire to find out, and problem solve. This class allowed me to live out my dream of working with a team, and allowed me to create something that is all my own. My Robotics teacher impressed me most of all with his considerable knowledge, and through watching him I developed a passion to be just as knowledgeable. I experienced challenges in the form of deadlines that had to be met within a limited time, but it was here that I learned how much time needs to be put into something for it to be successful. My task was to design the Robots which would take movable objects and stack them on top of one another; and after each challenge…. Read 85 reviews

Ebola fever / Lipetsk city dental clinic №1

Ebola hemorrhagic fever

(lat. Ebola febris haemorrhagica) is an acute viral highly contagious disease caused by the Ebola virus. A rare but extremely dangerous disease. Epidemic outbreaks were recorded in Central and West Africa, mortality ranged from 25 to 90% (average 50%). There is currently no reliable vaccine for Ebola.

Affects humans, some other primates, and artiodactyls.

The Ebola virus was first identified in the equatorial province of Sudan and adjacent areas of Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in 1976. In Sudan, 284 people fell ill, of which 151 died. In Zaire, 318 (280 died). The virus was isolated from the Ebola River region in Zaire. This gave the virus its name.

In its morphological properties, the virus is similar to the Marburg virus, but differs antigenically. Both of these viruses belong to the filovirus family (Filoviridae). The Ebolavirus genus includes five species: Sudanese, Zairian, Côte d’Ivoire, Reston, and Bundibugyo. Man is affected by 4 types. The reston type is characterized by an asymptomatic course. Natural reservoirs of the virus are believed to be found in equatorial African forests

Travelers visiting regions where outbreaks have been reported are advised to practice good hygiene and avoid contact with blood and any human and primate excretions.

Transmission of the virus occurs through the mucous membranes, as well as microtrauma of the skin, getting into the blood and lymph of both animals and humans. The virus cannot be transmitted by airborne droplets.

The Ebola virus is believed to be transmitted through contact with the body fluids of an infected animal. Person-to-person transmission can occur through direct contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected person (including a deceased or embalmed person) or through contact with contaminated medical equipment, such as needles and syringes. Funeral rites, in which people present at the funeral have direct contact with the body of the deceased, can play a significant role in the transmission of the Ebola virus, because the dead within fifty days can be dangerous. The potential for widespread infection is considered low because the disease is only transmitted through direct contact with the secretions of those who are infected. Within two weeks after recovery, transmission of the virus through semen is possible.

Health care workers who do not wear appropriate protective clothing are also at risk of becoming ill during contact with patients in the absence of appropriate infection control measures and proper barrier care practices. In the past, outbreaks have occurred because African hospitals lacked universal precautions and reused needles.
The gates of infection are the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and microtrauma of the skin. There are no visible changes at the site of the gate.
There is also information about the possibility of non-contact infection. For the first time, Canadian scientists have documented contactless transmission of the Ebola virus in animal experiments by a team led by Gary Kobinger of the University of Manitoba.

Already in the first hours after infection, the complement system is blocked.

Symptoms and course

incubation period – from two to 21 days. The different severity of the disease and the frequency of deaths during epidemic outbreaks in different regions are associated with biological and antigenic differences in the isolated strains of the virus. The disease begins with severe weakness, severe headache, muscle pain, diarrhea, abdominal pain, tonsillitis. Later, a dry cough and stabbing pains in the chest appear, signs of dehydration, vomiting, and a rash develop (in about 50% of cases), along with a decrease in the functioning of the liver and kidneys. In 40-50% of cases, bleeding from the gastrointestinal tract, nose, vagina and gums begins.
Severe bleeding is rare and usually associated with the gastrointestinal tract. The development of bleeding often indicates a poor prognosis.

If an infected person does not recover within 7-16 days after the first symptoms, then the likelihood of death increases.
Blood tests show neutrophilic leukocytosis, thrombocytopenia, and anemia. Death usually occurs in the second week of illness due to bleeding and shock.

Before the bleeding phase, the clinical symptoms of the disease are similar to Marburg fever, malaria and other tropical fevers.

Treatment and vaccination

Ebola patients require intensive care: in case of dehydration, intravenous fluids and oral rehydration with solutions containing electrolytes. According to Professor of the Ivanovsky Research Institute of Virology Mikhail Shchelkanov, the treatment of the disease requires symptomatic therapy, disinfection therapy, respiratory support, hemostatic therapy and the use of antisera. In this case, “reducing hospital mortality to 10% is not a big deal. ”
Ebola vaccine is not yet available. As of 2012, none of the major pharmaceutical companies has invested in the development of a vaccine against the Ebola virus, since such a vaccine potentially has a very limited market: in 36 years (since 1976) there were only 2,200 cases.

Vaccine research was funded primarily by the Department of Defense and the National Institutes of Health in the United States, who feared that the virus could be used to create biological weapons. With this funding, several small pharmaceutical companies have developed prototype vaccines that have been successfully tested in animals. Two companies, Sarepta and Tekmira, have already begun human trials of vaccine prototypes.

In 2012, Gene Olinger, a virologist at the US Army Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), reported that, at current levels of funding, a vaccine could be available in 5-7 years. However, in August 2012, the US Department of Defense announced that it was suspending further funding for vaccine development due to “financial constraints”.
