TASK 6

BASIC THINGS ABOUT AIDS AND HIV

In 1985, scientists discovered the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
HIV is a virus that is transmitted from person to person through the exchange of
body fluids such as blood, semen, breast milk and vaginal secretions. Sexual
contact is the most common way to spread HIV, but it can also be transmitted by
sharing needles when injecting drugs, or during childbirth and breastfeeding. As
HIV reproduces, it damages the body's immune system and the body becomes
susceptible to illness and infection. There is no known cure for HIV infection
nowadays.
Acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, is a condition that
describes an advanced state of HIV infection. With AIDS, the virus has progressed,
causing significant loss of white blood cells or any of the cancers or infections that
result from immune system damage.
Once inside the body the virus attacks specialized immune system cells
known as CD4 cells. The virus attaches to these cells and infects them by injecting
HIV nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) into the cell. New HIV virus then infects other
CD4 cells as the cycle repeats itself.
Is HIV and AIDS the same thing? HIV is the virus which damages the
body's immune system. While AIDS defining infections means a person is
diagnosed with AIDS. A person can be infected for years without having AIDS.
Having HIV infection does not mean you have AIDS. Simply put, HIV and AIDS
are not the same thing, but they are related to one another.
 Before HIV infection became widespread in the human population, AIDS
defining infections were rare, and almost exclusively in individuals with immune
suppression, such as chemotherapy and certain types of cancers. AIDS was first
recognized in the early 1980s in healthy homosexual men. Adding to the oddity,
these men had no recognized cause for immune suppression. An infectious cause
of AIDS was suggested by geographic clustering of cases, links among cases by
sexual contact, mother-to-infant transmission, and transmission by blood
transfusion. Later, isolation of HIV from patients with AIDS strongly suggested
that this virus was the cause of AIDS. Medications can successfully treat many of
the symptoms of early symptomatic HIV infection. Antiretroviral therapy slows the
growth of the HIV virus in the body. It works very well in reducing the number of
HIV particles in the bloodstream.
Although people have suppressed levels of HIV, they can still spread the
virus to others through sex or sharing needles. Antiretroviral therapy is not a cure
for HIV, but the treatment slows disease progression and may strengthen the
immune system. People should never forget that HIV/AIDS is more than a physical
ailment; it affects the whole person, emotional and physical. Often our treatments
focus on the physical only but the emotional needs addressed as well.

1) What is AIDS? Acquired immune deficiency syndrome is a condition that

describes an advanced state of HIV infection
2) What is HIV? human immunodeficiency virus. is a virus that is transmitted
from person to person through the exchange of
body fluids such as blood, semen, breast milk and vaginal secretions
3) Is there any difference between them? How are they similar? HIV is the cause
of AIDS. HIV is the virus which damages the
body's immune system. While AIDS defining infections means a person is
diagnosed with AIDS.
4) What are the ways of transition of the virus from one human to another? body
fluids such as blood, semen, breast milk and vaginal secretions
5) How does the virus affect the immune system, the body?
it damages the body's immune system and the body becomes
susceptible to illness and infection.

TASK 8

Write an essay on the topic “The future of biomedical engineering” (approx.

150 words).

Biomedical engineering stands at the forefront of transformative changes in

healthcare, promising a future marked by innovation and improved patient
outcomes. Key trends indicate a trajectory of remarkable advancements.
Nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine, with nanoparticles facilitating
targeted drug delivery, imaging, and tissue engineering. Biomedical engineers are
addressing the organ donor shortage by actively developing artificial organs and
tissues for transplantation. Gene editing technologies, exemplified by
CRISPR-Cas9, offer personalized medicine solutions for genetic disorders.
Additionally, the integration of bioinformatics enables a deeper understanding of
diseases and the creation of targeted therapies through computational analysis of
biological data.

Biomedical engineering's captivating fusion of technology and humanity reshapes

healthcare by introducing innovations in diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. It
is imperative to balance technological progress with accessibility, affordability, and
ethical considerations, ensuring that these advancements benefit all. As we
navigate this exciting future, the convergence of technology and compassionate
care holds the promise of revolutionizing healthcare, making a positive and lasting
impact on the well-being of individuals and communities.
