OET READING PART B

 1. The paragraph implies that A) financial implications of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis treatment B) effects of change from acquired to primarily transmitted disease. C) resistance to multidrug-resistant tuberculosis therapy. MULTIDRUG- RESISTANT TUBERCULOSIS. With an estimated 480 000 new cases developing every year,multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide. Multidrug-resistant tuberculosis is much more common in patients who have previously been treated for tuberculosis,and public health efforts have typically focused on high-quality treatment of drug-susceptible tuberculosis to prevent acquisition of resistance while on therapy. However, a substantial proportion of patients with multidrug-resistant tuberculosis might have transmitted drug resistance (ie, present before treatment begins), and drug resistance is therefore often the cause of treatment failure, not the result. Several studies have illustrated how, as multidrug-re...

READING PRACTICE

  READ THE PASSAGE IN 2 MINUTES AND WRITE DOWN THE KEY WORDS. Postoperative immune suppression particularly a loss of cell-mediated immunity is commonly seen after surgery due to an increased release of immune suppressing hormones such as catecholamines, prostaglandins and cortisol depending on the amount of surgical stress and tissue damage. Blood transfusion, hypothermia, dehydration and anesthetics can further attenuate immunity . An impaired immunity after surgery is associated with worse outcome, i.e. delayed wound healing, infections, sepsis, multiple-organ failure and cancer recurrence. In particular, postoperative immunosuppression comprises decreased numbers of natural killer (NK) cells, T lymphocytes, as well as an impaired function of T lymphocytes and monocytes including a suppressed expression of human leukocyte antigen-D related on monocytes (mHLA-DR) . B lymphocytes seem to be less effected . Furthermore, increasing numbers of T regulatory (Treg) cells and neutrophi...

  HEROIN OVERDOSE IN AUSTRALIA The harm that heroin use causes its users and the community is disproportionate to the relatively low prevalence of its use in most developed countries. One of the most common harms is heroin overdose, both fatal and non-fatal. Research has suggested that many heroin-related deaths are polydrug deaths, and it may be that the combinations of drugs involved in drug-related deaths change over time. During the 1990s, there was a substantial increase in the scale of Australian heroin markets. In New South Wales during 1993–1999, the price per gram of heroin reached a historic low, the purity of street heroin was 60%, and heroin was the most commonly injected drug among regular injecting drug users (IDUs). In the late 1990s, there were substantial rises in the number of people being treated for heroin dependence, in deaths related to a heroin overdose, arrests related to heroin, and in hepatitis C infections. Heroin overdose deaths became an issue of great ...
