Using your text or online resources, what is the difference between Chronic and Acute Disease? What are the differences in the way we treat or prevent these two types of disease? What do you think is the most threatening Chronic Disease? What do you think is the most threatening Acute Disease?

Answer 1

accute condition is sudden or start or short duration disease condition, usually for days to months

b ut when thee disease are not treated the condition may be chronic means for the longer duration even for years.

Most common accute diseases or contitions are:

Cold, influenza, malaria, Cholera, Typhoid and cough, etc.

Most common chronic diseases or contitions are:

Tuberculosis, Arthritis, Diabetes, Cancer, Heart and kidney disease.

As per threatment is concerned in case of acute condition there is requirement of mild treatment for the shorter duration but in case of any chronic disease there is requirement of rigrous treatment with the efective plan for the larger duration may be for whole life.

In some cases of the chronic management there is requirement of the change of the threpy due to the strain resistance. Furthermore to handle such chronic and long term condition thre is requirement to have a completee dietary and excercise plan with the therapy.

Sometimes as the duration is very long there is need to counsel the patient to take the active participation in the treatment plan.

In my opinion now a days the cancer is the most threatening Chronic Disease as its generateddue to own uncontrolled division of the cells. And further in the treatment plan the drugs are not effectively identifying the cancerous cell and the normal cells, thus leading to the various side effctes while treating the patients with cancer.

Most threatening Acute Disease in my opinion is acute asthma in the children leading to the death in most of the cases if the cause or the allergen is not identified within time.
