From my previous blog, I entailed a quick summary on how extended definitions place importance for the readers. Here are three phrases within the article I will demonstrate extended definitions to include the reader in the reading.
"The case count and death toll are still rising — 205 cases
and 15 deaths in 14 states — and more are expected. The drug has been recalled,
but the incubation period can stretch to 43 days or more. Some patients exposed
before the recall may fall ill in the next few weeks or even months." The 'incubation period' is the act of keeping an organism culture in a conditions for favorable for growth and development. Meaning a higher chance for more cases to present themselves, because the fungus needs time to grow within the human being before first sign symptoms start to show.
"Individual differences in immune systems and the ability to
fight off infection also probably played a role. By and large, the people who
received these injections were healthy. But they tended to be middle-age or
older — when spine problems often occur — and the immune system does become
less robust with age." 'Age' plays a humongous difference on a person. The older one is the more vulnerable their immune system and spinal problems are affected.
"A needle that went too far in could have nicked the dura and
let the fungus into the spinal fluid, from which it could then have easily
traveled to the brain. Doctors say that meningitis cannot occur unless the dura
is somehow breached." The 'dura' is the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord and brain. If the dura is penetrated by an experience or a non-licenced individual can increase the chances of the fungus infecting the patient and cause death.
I have demonstrated the extended definitions of these three phases. Hopefully it leaves the reader with a better understanding and comprehension of the article.
