Surgical amputation of an extremity with osteosarcoma (bone cancer) is an example in which
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
when a disease is present the treatment (amputation) is done to reduce the impact of disease
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
by preventing the tumor from dissemination. Vaccination for rotavirus for children younger
g g g g g g g g g g g g
than the age of 1 year, sexual education program in elementary schools, and increasing taxes
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
for buying cigarettes represent examples of primary prevention. Screening for gestational
g g g g g g g g g g g
diabetes after 24 weeks of pregnancy is an example of secondary prevention.

g g g g g g g g g g g
treated by physicians and medical students compared with women treated by midwives. Based
g g g g g g g g g g g g g
on his observations, he implemented a hand wash policy that resulted in adecrease in mortality.

a. John Snow g
b. Edward Jenner g

Ignaz Semmelweis identified that medical students and physicians transmitted the disease by
g g g g g g g g g g g
gnot washing their hands after examining bodies at autopsies and conducting multiple
g g g g g g g g g g g
gexaminations in the clinic. g g g
3. Thanks to the contributions of Edward Jenner, the following disease was eradicated later

by efforts organized by D.A. Henderson:

g g g g g g g g g g g
D.A. Henderson to lead the efforts to eradicate the disease.

4. Over the past century, a marked decline in the mortality rates of many infectious diseases
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
has been observed. Which of the following is the most likely reason for the observed decline
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g
in mortality rates from common infectious diseases?
g g g g g g g
a. Development of penicillin g g
b. Development of insulin g g
c. Development of vaccines g g
d. Improvement in social conditions g g g
e. Worse sanitation and unsafe water
g g g g
ANS: D

Although medical treatments potentially helped in the decrease of infectious diseases, the
g g g g g g g g g g g
advancement in social conditions played a major role. These improvements include better
g g g g g g g g g g g g
sanitation, safe disposal of waste, better nutrition, and improvement in housing conditions.
