I am not sure what you are asking exactly but a vector is an amimal or an insect that transmits the pathogen responsible for the necrotizing fasciitis. Think of it as a vehicle the germ travels on.

Kidney and or liver shutdown.  My neighbors cat had the same symptoms and the cat just passed last weekend.  Maybe poisoned from a plant or pesticide.  It's hard to know exactly what caused the death.  I am sorry for your loss.

It's all about osmotic shock. The cells will trigger various pathways to cope with it and I'd guess they would have to spend some energy dealing with this problem instead of using it to grow.\nOsmoregulation can differ quite a lot depending on the species and nature of the shock (ionic solutes vs non ionic etc)\n\nYou should look in the literature through pubmed (and google).\nA review that might give you some guidelines is \n\nMICROBIOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY REVIEWS\nMar. 1999, p. 230–262 Vol. 63, No. 1\n\nOsmosensing by Bacteria: Signals and Membrane-Based Sensors\nJANET M.

Fibromyalgia is complicated, I have it.  My theory is a little different than alot of others.  I believe it's a breakdown of the immune system due to lymphatic problems.  See the lymph system is responsible for the T and B cells that fight illness.\n\nThis came out recently, excellent article, somewhat backs what I've believed all along, the fibro, CFS and other illnesses come from a whacked out lymph system.\n   \nUK Physician Believes He's Found Proof of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ImmuneSupport.com\n\n08-10-2005 \n\nDoctor takes stigma out of 'yuppie flu' \nBy Deborah Haile \n\nDr. Raymond Perrin believes he has proof that chronic fatigue syndrome - once dubbed yuppie flu - has a physical cause. \n\nFor years sufferers of CFS - which includes ME - have lived under the stigma of being diagnosed with a condition that many dismissed as being in the mind. But Manchester osteopath Dr. Perrin believes he has proved that the debilitating syndrome is the physical result of the way the body deals with toxins. \n\nHe believes a picture of varicose lymphatic vessels taken during a research project at Salford University shows for the first time the "backflow" of lymphatic drainage that he believes is the cause of toxin build-up. \n\nAnd it is this accumulation of toxins in the central nervous system, which Dr. Perrin believes is the cause of conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome and ME. \n\nValves \n\nDr. Perrin, who runs clinics in Prestwich, central Manchester and London, said: "Normally these vessels are the size of the thinnest pencil line and you can't usually see them without a magnifying glass, but the fact they are swollen like this is significant. There is a backflow against the valves. \n\n"Very rarely can you see these, but with every person I have seen in the last 16 years with chronic fatigue syndrome you can feel them under the surface. It means this person has had ME for a number of years." \n\nUntil now experts have believed that valves in the lymphatic vessels only allowed the flow of fluids in one direction. But Dr. Perrin says these varicose lymphatic vessels - which resemble varicose veins but are the same colour of the skin instead of a bluish colour - are the proof that the backflow exists, when vessels are damaged, allowing toxins to concentrate in the central nervous system. He revealed the picture at a seminar at Salford University. He hopes to publish it in a respected medical journal later in the year. \n\nMargaret Cannon, who had to give up work because of the condition, said: "After about three months of Raymond's treatment my concentration was restored and the symptoms improved greatly." \n \n\nOnline at http://www.manchesteronline.co.uk/men/news/health/s/168/168143_doctor_takes_stigma_out_of_yuppie_flu.html\n\nPS: allergies, long term ones can mess up the lymphatics by the congestion in the nodes, so it all ties in.

as per ur information, it is more likely that he was died due to DIC developed due to Rh incmpatibility....as his blood grp was not known exactly, again his symptoms during tansfusion like feeling funny, itchy, hot flashes strongly suggest that there was some vascular abnormility going on in his Cardio vascular system, one more thing here that from AML, patient cannot die suddenly, it's a slow spreading Carcinoma of blood....the conclusion here is that on based on evidences provided by u strongly suggest that he was died of Dissemeniated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)....

I'm sorry to say, no there is no cure for it.  There is a lot of research, but no cure yet.  They are coming out with medications that can help.

I'm a hospital tech, and I cannot give you specifics due to Hippa laws but I can tell you this:\nI was in the ER with a patient that had overdosed. The body rejects all poisons and therefore the person was asphyixiating, hemorraging, and experiencing aneurisms.\nOn top of this, we had to run several IV's and strap the person down as they were screaming in severe pain.\nSo in my opinion, it can be a very painful death.

It is extremely dangerous.\nGo online and read about the people who have, or almost have died from it.\nIt's not something you can control forever.

I have a neuro/muscular disease and live with chronic pain that I take daily medication for, kidney stones and have suffered from an open femur fracture, but I still think the worst pain is that of a broken heart. It has been proven that people can die of a broken heart [for example when a spouse dies and the other dies with in 6 months a broken heart is considered a contributing factor] I have also had the unpleasantness of suffering one when my mother died. She and I were very close and I still miss her very much 12 years later but my father was worse, he died 5 months [on the same day of the month at the same time of day] after she did and his cardiologist listed a broken heart as a contributing factor.  I have had more pain than I care to talk about but the pain of my mom dying was and is the worse I have ever delt with.

It's a radioactive isotope and product of nuclear waste. Of which, you have to ingest, be injected, or otherwise be phisically contacted with internally to be exposed to in order to be affected by it. It is lethal in doses so small, you could fit it on the tip, not head, of a pin. It acts as a poison, as it is radioactive, and acts quickly and efficently on your internal organs, causing all types of havoc on them and your body, much like radiation poisoning.

This is such a coincidence! Saturday, after a day at the swimming pool I came home with a fever! I had nbo idea what was wrong with me because I had no stomach pains, no kidney problem, nothing out of the ordinary but the throbbing headache.\n\nSo I took a nighttiime tylenol and took a short nap, then at night I took another one and went to sleep. I woke up better , with no fever nor headache. It was weird! Today I feel totally better.  HAPPY MONDAY! \n\nGO USA! (My team, USA, is playing in the world cup, I hope we win!)

We understand it just fine. What you don't understand is that you're slowly killing yourself-- your organs are slowly dying as your body eats itself.\n\nDo you want to live? If so, you have to eat at least the bare minimum to remain ALIVE. That's a biological FACT.  \n\nAnorexia kills people.  It's not that we're being mean, it's simply a fact. If people don't eat, they'll die.  That's just how it is.

It is when you don't have enough iron in your blood. As far as I know it is not fatal, but it can make you dizzy, lightheaded and unable to concentrate. Eat iron rich foods and take iron supplements. Good luck!

Cassie: please google hydradenitus suppurativa there are thousands of sites, and a society of for people that have the condition and others that are interested and care. You are better  off asking the question there. The condition is fairly rare. (Merck manual does not discuss it), (even though about 2.5% of the U. S. public may have the condition.). Although it is very rarely fatal, it does kill. My uncle died of it. (in no large part because he smoked and was not too careful about taking care of himself. )Some of the sites have lists of professionals, in various neighborhoods that are knowlegible on the subject and may treat you for minimal charge.\nGood luck.\nDoc. Dan.
