Study Notes
Human Evolution and History
- Humans evolved from ape-like creatures around 6 million years ago.
- Developed human attributes in the last 300,000 years.
- Key periods in human history:
- Dark Ages (5th century)
- Antiquity (5th to 8th century)
- Renaissance (15th and 16th century)
- Scientific Revolution (16th and 17th century)
- Enlightenment (17th and 18th century)
- Rapid civilization in the past 300 years following the Industrial Revolution (1760-1840)
Civilization and its Challenges
- Industrial Revolution led to urbanization.
- Urbanization brought problems like slums, poor housing, sanitation issues, inadequate water supply, and insufficient nutrition.
Demographic Transition
- A model showing how birth and death rates change over time, impacting population size.
- Four distinct stages:
- Stage 1: High birth and death rates, low population.
- Stage 2: High birth rates, declining death rates, increasing population growth.
- Stage 3: Declining death rates, falling birth rates, slowing population growth.
- Stage 4: Low birth and death rates, stable population size.
Global Challenges
- Challenges vary from place to place.
- Some regions face food abundance, while others struggle with hunger.
- Some regions experience conflict, while others enjoy peace.
- Some regions face ruin, while others are building.
- Every place faces diseases, but the types differ.
World Population Growth
- Population ballooned from 2.5 billion in 1950 to an estimated 9 billion in 2050.
- This growth is characterized by a demographic transition.
Diseases in the 21st Century
Disease Variation Across Income Levels
- High-income countries: Leading causes of death include heart disease, dementia, stroke, cancer, and chronic lung diseases.
- Low-income countries: Leading causes of death include neonatal conditions, lower respiratory infections, heart disease, stroke, diarrheal diseases, malaria, and HIV/AIDS.
Zambia's Disease Burden
- Zambia faces a "double burden of disease," dealing with both infectious and non-communicable diseases.
- Top 10 causes of death in Zambia:
- Poor countries (Infectious Diseases): HIV/AIDS, neonatal disorders, stroke, lower respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, tuberculosis, ischemic heart disease, malaria, cirrhosis, and hypertensive heart disease.
- Rich countries (Non-Communicable Diseases): NCDs (not specified)
Non-Communicable Diseases and Risk Factors
- Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are represented as a tree with roots representing risk factors and branches representing diseases.
- Risk factors for NCDs:
- Physical inactivity
- Alcohol abuse
- Tobacco Use
- Unhealthy Diet
Infectious Diseases and Causative Agents
- Infectious diseases categorized by causative agent:
- Bacteria: Tuberculosis, pneumonia, streptococcal infections, gonorrhea, scarlet fever, tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, bubonic plague
- Viruses: AIDS/HIV, influenza, herpes simplex/zoster, hepatitis, common cold, poliomyelitis, measles, mumps, rubella, infectious mononucleosis
- Fungi: Candidiasis, athlete’s foot, jock itch, nail fungus, ringworm, histoplasmosis
- Protozoa: Amebiasis, amebic meningoencephalitis, malaria, trichomoniasis, toxoplasmosis, giardiasis, balantidiasis, cryptosporidiosis, pneumocystosis
- Helminthes/parasites: Trichuriasis, hookworm, lymphatic filariasis (elephantiasis), schistosomiasis (bilharzia), ascariasis
Dangerous Infectious Diseases
- Images of causative agents for dangerous infectious diseases:
- Meningococcus
- Vibrio cholerae
- Yersinia pestis
- Francisella tularensis
- Variola major
- Plasmodium falciparum
- HIV
- Mycobacterium tuberculosis
