BIG ENCYCLOPEDIA FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS
What causes parotitis? Detailed answer
Directory / Big encyclopedia. Questions for quiz and self-education Did you know? What causes parotitis? Mumps is an infectious disease in which the salivary glands swell. In this case, the parotid salivary glands are mainly affected. The cause of mumps is a virus that enters these glands. And the disease spreads almost entirely through direct contact with infected people. The virus is found in saliva and nasal mucus. Everyone knows what mumps patients look like: they have a clearly visible tumor around their ears and jaws, which first appears on one side, and then on the other. This is often the first visible sign of the disease. In this case, there may also be a sharp increase in body temperature to about 40 degrees, as well as headaches and the urge to vomit. Parotitis is a disease that usually occurs in children and adolescents, although in some rare cases adults can also get it. Children usually fall ill between the ages of five and fifteen, especially between the ages of seven and nine. In most cases, having had this disease, a person receives immunity from mumps. Parotitis in children is considered a harmless disease if it is detected in time and if the correct treatment is carried out. It does not require special medical intervention, except in severe or complicated cases. The patient is usually advised to rest in bed until the swelling subsides and the fever persists. Since mumps can be passed from one person to another, those affected are usually quarantined to avoid spreading the disease. Author: Likum A.
Did people ever speak Latin? Few people today learn to speak or even just read Latin. Only scientists or doctors use this language, and even then only for their professional purposes. That is why today we call Latin a dead language. However, he was once alive. After in 753 BC. e. Rome was founded, it gradually began to turn from a small settlement into a big city. The people who inhabited it and the areas adjacent to it spoke Latin. It was named after the Latins - one of the tribes that lived in the Tiber Valley - and was a mixture of various local dialects. Previously, Latin was a cumbersome and dissonant language, which subsequently disappeared almost without a trace. At that time, the Romans did not have their own written language. However, having won by 740 BC. e. Greece, they got acquainted with its culture, including literature, and took it as an example to follow. Most ordinary Romans, however, could neither read nor write. But they were very fond of the theater, and therefore the Roman poets created many dramatic works. By this time, Latin had already managed to transform almost beyond recognition (in many ways). Latin writing appeared with clear spelling and grammatical rules, and thanks to it, examples of both the colloquial speech of commoners and the refined language with which the Roman nobility communicated have survived to this day. Thus, the foundations of Latin were laid, which later writers turned into a truly beautiful and very expressive language. Despite the fact that literary Latin was constantly developing and improving, the Romans continued to use Vulgar Latin in everyday life. Unlike the literary language used by highly educated people, Vulgar Latin was understandable and accessible to everyone, and besides, it was not always grammatically correct.
