how long does it take to develop acute alcohol hepatitis?

---

A few years ago I had an argument with an ex-girlfriend. 2 weeks later she passed away. The death certificate states that this was casue by multiple organ failure, some heamorrage in the stomach and acute alcohol hepatitis.

I was worried that because of the argument she had drank herself to death. Because I heard that it takes an alcohol intake over a prolonged period of time to develop this condition.

Or can it develop over 2 weeks of binge drinking?
Your body can tolerate a lot of alcohol for quite a while, as long as you keep eating!

Stop eating and simply drink all day, and you can get in big trouble with remarkable swiftness.

Please don't blame yourself for your ex's death... It was her time.

If you can't get over this, try to do something to make up for any harm you think you may have done. Be a good person, and God and your ex will forgive you, then you can forgive yourself.  (+ info)

How can you tell if your bronchitis is acute or chronic?

---

It all started when my throat was scratchy on Friday, like a usual cold was coming on. I woke up that night with a rattling noise in my chest when I would breathe and I took a puff of my albuterol inhaler. Yesterday I went to a doctor who said I have bronchitis and he prescribed Zithromax. My chest is all blocked up with mucus but hardly any comes up when I cough. It has been causing asthma attacks ever since Friday night. I don't smoke but my brother does. I was wondering what the difference between chronic bronchitis and acute bronchitis was. I know chronic bronchitis is when the condition doesn't get better but I want to know if there is any way to tell if it is going to go away at this stage. Thanks.
First of all, make sure that you're not around people that smoke, this will only tend to exacerbate any symptoms that you have. Also that your inhaler contains medicine and that what you're taking isn't just propellant, if you're not getting any medication through it you won't be doing yourself any good. Make sure that you warm it (under your arm) and shake it really well, dispense a couple of puffs into the air to fill the chamber with medicine and then take a couple of puffs-placing the inhaler 1/2 inch outside of the lips to minimize spraying at the back of your throat.
Chronic bronchitis is a daily productive cough that occurs for 3 months or longer and I do not think that this is what you have. However, you are at a very high risk for developing pneumonia. Be sure that you're drinking lots of fluids (this will help to thin the mucus in your chest) and take long, slow deep breaths followed by a deep cough at least 10 times in a row. This builds up pressure behind the mucus blocking your tiny lower airways and removes the blockages.
If this isn't any better by Wednesday, go back to the doctor...treatment isn't working and you need to get him to reanalyze your medications.
Good luck, I hope you feel better soon.  (+ info)

Why are there no symptoms between chronic and acute chagas disease?

---

I make a report about the disease, and I still couldn't find an answer why there are no symptoms occurring between the chronic and the acute phase, though the parasite is still in the body. Also it would be awesome if somebody knows if there is something which is triggering the illness after a couple decades so that it becomes chronic and symptoms occur.
Acute merely means it was newly diagnosed. Some diseases are considered chronic if they continue to wrsen, or you have the symptoms longer than usual.  (+ info)

I'm doing my RN degree at uni and am guessing that you need will need to back up these interventions with credible, peer reviewed references. You could try looking on the Department of Health website or use google scholar to search for journal articles related to your essay topic.
