E-Module: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever toward Knowledge and Learning Motivation among Nursing Students

Nursing students' learning motivation toward technical knowledge and their ethics regarding patients' rights.

Nursing students must develop their abilities to provide appropriate nursing services. They need to acquire the level of nursing knowledge to pass the national examination according to Japanese law. Moreover, even if the awareness of the rights of people who receive nursing services increases, students must not have a sense of resistance toward those rights. Therefore, we investigated the facto...

Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Continued geographic expansion of dengue viruses and their mosquito vectors has seen the magnitude and frequency of epidemic dengue/dengue hemorrhagic fever (DF/DHF) increase dramatically. More than 200,000,000 infections and over 2 million cases of DHF occur annually, and dengue is one of the most important emerging tropical diseases in the world. Its dramatically increased incidence and geogr...

Dengue and Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever

Dengue and dengue hemorrhagic fever.

Dengue fever, a very old disease, has reemerged in the past 20 years with an expanded geographic distribution of both the viruses and the mosquito vectors, increased epidemic activity, the development of hyperendemicity (the cocirculation of multiple serotypes), and the emergence of dengue hemorrhagic fever in new geographic regions. In 1998 this mosquito-borne disease is the most important tro...

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever and Dengue Shock Syndrome

The Dengue virus is an arbovirus, from genus Flavivirus family Flaviviridae. It is a single stranded RNA genome surrounded by an icosahedral nucleocapsid and covered by lipid envelope. Four serotypes: DEN-1, 2, 3, 4 have been identified for the virus. Each serotype provides specific lifetime immunity, but only a shortterm cross-immunity. All serotypes can cause severe and fatal disease. In the ...
