U.S. authorities worried about the new coronavirus MERS: a variant of SARS but more dangerous...

The deadly new respiratory infection hitting patients with ties to the Middle East, a coronavirus known as MERS , may remain in patients longer than doctors previously thought, according to a new study. That means patients who are suspected of having the disease may need to be quarantined for longer periods to rule out they still aren't infected.

French scientists reported their findings on May 29 in The Lancet.

Since Sept. 2012 when the World Health Organization (WHO) started tracking the new SARS-like virus, 49 people have had laboratory-confirmed cases, including five new cases reported in Saudi Arabia on May 29, according to a new statement.

The MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome) virus is most closely-related to a bat virus, and is part of a family of viruses that cause the common cold and SARS, the latter of which killed nearly 800 people in a 2003 outbreak.

The majority of cases have been seen in Saudi Arabia, with a smaller number appearing in other countries in the Middle East including Jordan, Qatar, Tunisia, and United Arab Emirates. Cases have also appeared in the U.K. and France.

A 65-year-old Frenchman who had previously traveled to Dubai in April died Tuesday. He marked France's first case of MERS. His hospital roommate had also developed the disease but did not have previous contact with the Middle East, evidence of the disease spreading among those in close contact.

The new Lancet study provides the first detailed clinical descriptions of MERS, and was completed by scientists who visited the infected French patients. The hospital roommates shared the same room for three days, they reported. The doctors discovered the virus in the second patient had an incubation period of nine to 12 days. An incubation period is the amount of time it takes from exposure to an infectious organism to symptoms appearing.

Previously the incubation was thought to be one to nine days.

"Our findings suggest that the virus's incubation period could reach 9-12 days, a longer period than what was previously recorded, with clinical implications for the duration of quarantine," wrote the researchers, led by Dr. Benoit Guery of Calmette Hospital in Lille, France.

Doctors have previously reported evidence of the disease spreading among people in close contact in a health care facility in the Eastern part Saudi Arabia where at least 21 infections were reported since mid-May.

The five new Saudi cases are not tied to this facility, the WHO said Tuesday.

Dr. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the WHO, singled out MERS in a speech on Monday in Geneva to the WHO assembly.

"We understand too little about this virus when viewed against the magnitude of its potential threat," Chan said. "We do not know where the virus hides in nature. We do not know how people are getting infected. Until we answer these questions, we are empty-handed when it comes to prevention. These are alarm bells. And we must respond."

US: frozen berry mix sparks hepatitis A over 30 people in 5 states

Health officials have linked an outbreak of acute hepatitis A that has sickened at least 30 people in five states to a frozen berry and pomegranate mix. Cases have been reported in Colorado, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona, and California. In a release Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the first victims fell ill on April 29 and the most recent case was May 17. It is believed more will come.

The outbreak appears to be linked to a frozen berry blend sold by Costco called The Townsend Farms Organic Anti-oxidant Blend Frozen Berry Mix, a frozen berry and pomegranate seed mix. Costco is notifying all members who purchased the product since late February and has removed it from its shelves. Health officials don't yet know if the product was sold at other stores or markets. They do know that frozen berry blends are often used to make smoothies, frozen bar drinks and other types of desserts and drinks. One concern is that smaller businesses might have bought bulk frozen berries at Costco and then used them in other products.

Hepatitis A is a highly contagious liver infection caused by a virus. Of the people who've been sickened in this outbreak, 47% have been hospitalized, the CDC said. Some people who contract it have no symptoms but many have fever, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, and abdominal and joint pain.
The virus is most often transmitted when an infected food handler prepares food with dirty hands. Food contaminated with hepatitis A can also transmit the disease to people who ate or handled it.
According to the label, the berry blend contained pomegranate seeds and other produce from the U.S., Argentina, Chile and Turkey.

The strain of hepatitis A in this outbreak is rarely seen in the USA, said CDC's Lola Russell. It's known to circulate in North African and the Middle East. The same type of hepatitis A was identified in a 2013 outbreak in Europe linked to frozen berries and another one in 2012 in Canada linked to a frozen berry blend with pomegranate seeds from Egypt, she said.

Spagna: un nuovo prodotto da corporation dermoestetica

Tempo fa abbiamo parlato in un articolo di come nella penisola iberica stia riscuotendo successo una tecnica di dimagrimento basata sull'introduzione del "palloncino intragastrico", un trattamento non chirurgico ma, come già detto in passato, certamente invasivo tanto da determinare la comparsa di una serie di forum online in cui si sostengono numerosi dibattiti in merito all’efficacia dell’uso di tale procedura.

Le ultime notizie parlano di come anche la famosa società spagnola corporation dermoestetica, leader nel settore dell'estetica, si sia introdotta in questo "business". Come spiegato nel loro sito, la tecnica del palloncino intragastrico è un trattamento solitamente indicato per persone gravemente obese e che vogliono ricorrere a un’alternativa rispetto al trattamento chirurgico dell'obesità sia per evitare i rischi chirurgici associati a un eccesso di massa grassa e sia per avere un’alternativa che consenta di attuare un dimagrimento anche in presenza di eventuali complicanze. Si tratta di un palloncino espandibile in silicone che viene inserito attraverso il cavo orale per mezzo di una tecnica endoscopica e viene quindi posizionato nello stomaco. Una volta collocato il palloncino viene riempito con soluzione fisiologica sterile tra 400 e 700 cc, in relazione all’eccesso di peso e al volume della camera gastrica del paziente. L'obiettivo è quello di creare una sensazione di pienezza continua perché andando ad occupare gran parte dello stomaco mantiene la parete espansa e fornisce la tipica sensazione di pienezza gastrica come si fosse già consumato un pasto.

Sempre leggendo dal loro sito, la società corporation dermoestetica afferma come il successo di questa tecnica è legata al fatto che durante la durata del trattamento il paziente è sotto controllo medico al fine di monitorare la loro dieta e confermare se questa è abbastanza ricca, varia ed equilibrata, in modo da raggiungere la perdita di peso in modo sicuro per la loro salute.

In generale la società sostiene di come il paziente possa perdere peso gradualmente e costantemente circa un chilo a settimana e di come sia essenziale modificare le abitudini alimentari al fine di mantenere i risultati anche dopo aver pienamente ritirato il palloncino intragastrico. Una rieducazione alimentare garantire la costante modelli sani per l'alimentazione durante e dopo il trattamento e il modo duraturo.

L’effetto del "Balón intragástrico" è paragonabile a quello degli interventi di restrizione gastrica in quanto il pallone intragastrico (BIB) induce un precoce senso di sazietà durante i pasti. Anche se la mortalità è inferiore allo 0,1%, l’intervento non è privo di complicanze, infatti le complicazioni a cui possono andare incontro i pazienti operati con il palloncino intragastrico (BIB) sono: Nausea e vomito, che in molti casi possono persistere per molto tempo; senso di pesantezza addominale, dovuto ovviamente alla collocazione de palloncino; dolori addominali o dorsali, sia permanenti che ciclici; reflusso gastroesofageo; ostruzione intestinale nei casi in cui il palloncino non è sufficientemente riempito oppure se ha una diminuzione del suo volume; ostruzione esofagea con frequente reflusso gastroesofageo e danni all’epitelio dell’esofago; asma da reflusso. Ulteriori informazioni possono essere lette sul loro sito. la società corporation dermoestetica mette a disposizione una pagina con le domande più frequenti e un form per ottenere ulteriori informazioni (il sito è in lingua spagnola).

Generare immagini divertenti con PicJoke!

Una delle migliori caratteristiche di internet consiste nel poter creare immagini divertenti mediante semplici servizi online. Molte persone non hanno tempo per poter utilizzare al meglio programmi di fotoritocco come paint shop pro o photoshop così in molti cercano sulla rete dei siti che possano effettuare certi ritocchi grafici in modo automatico e con grande fantasia. Fra i vari servizi offerti voglio segnalare il sito picjoke.

Le caratteristiche principali di questo servizio consistono nella semplicità d’uso e nell’ampia disponibilità di effetti grafici, ogni giorno infatti vengono introdotti nuovi effetti e sistemi di ricombinazione per le proprie immagini. L’uso è molto semplice, basta scegliere l’effetto desiderato e poi la foto mediante il comando “Choose File” e poi cliccare su “Create your picture”. A quel punto è sufficiente salvare il risultato cliccando col tasto destro del mouse e scegliendo “Salva immagine con nome”. Il sito permette di creare fotomontaggi online caricando le nostre foto e inserendole in mille contesti diversi.

Gli effetti vengono elencati in vari modi, in particolare tramite un ordinamento per data di introduzione. Determinati tipi di fotomontaggio vengono mostrate con immagini esplicative, rendendo molto più facile il poter generare immagini simpatiche e accattivanti. Ad esempio in questa immagine accanto ho provato a creare un fotomontaggio utilizzando l’effetto visivo N. 251. Il risultato è un perfetto ritratto a matita generato da un signore anziano, un effetto elegante e molto parigino.



Con l’effetto visivo N.262 avremo la foto collocata come un poster illuminato in sottoluce e in una stanza tipicamente buia. Niente di più metropolitano no?



E’ possibile infine utilizzare anche più immagini contemporaneamente, per esempio se si vuole creare una stanza con numerose foto. In questa immagine sono state utilizzate ben 5 foto differenti, spero che le cantanti non me ne vogliano se associo una qualche loro foto pubblica con il personaggio del famoso telefilm “californication”:



E’ da segnalare che le immagini caricate precedentemente rimangono in memoria cosi che sia possibile poi poter riutilizzare le stesse immagini con effetti differenti. Gli "online photo effects" sono numerosi, probabilmente andrebbero riordinati meglio ma il sito stesso è piuttosto complesso. L'ordinamento per data o per numero non è forse ben fatto, tuttavia le potenzialità di siti come questi sono infinite, tante quanti sono gli “script” messi a disposizione per completare le immagini in pochi passaggi, quindi la fantasia ha libero sfogo. Un consiglio: prima di utilizzare siti come questi assicuratevi che le immagini siano effettivamente di vostra proprietà e sia quindi un vostro diritto usarle. L’utilizzo di immagini private per fotomontaggi è punibile per legge. Detto questo e tralasciando ulteriori aspetti legali, si può dire che praticamente non ci sono limiti alla vostra fantasia e con un po’ di pratica e un po’ di buonsenso potete sbizzarrirvi. Buon divertimento!

Asthma and dust: what should be do to contain it

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease of the broncho airways, in which some cells, particularly mast-cells, eosinophils and lymphocytes T, have to be considered. In predisposed subjects this inflammation causes recurrent episodes of wheezing, difficulty breathing, feeling of chest constriction and coughing. These symptoms are usually associated with widespread and variable obtrusion, reversible after bronchodilator therapy. The inflammation also causes an increase in airway response to numerous stimuli more or less specific. The current definition emphasizes the key role of inflammation in the genesis of symptoms and functional abnormalities.

It is estimated that more than 100 million people worldwide are suffering from bronchial asthma and several studies suggest that this disease is increasing. Nearly 23 million Americans suffer from asthma. In Italy asthmatics represent between 5 and 8% of the population.

When an allergen is inhaled, the bronchi induces a series of sequential reactions that ultimately produce the asthmatic crisis. If the antigen is inhaled for the first time, is "eaten" and "dismantled" in small parties, the specialized cells as antigen presenters (such as macrophages) in order to expose its surface to some small pieces (peptides ). Through this presentation antigens are recognized by T lymphocytes, once activated produce substances that activate the Bone lymphocyti, which produce antibodies against the allergen, called immunoglobulin E, which will stick to the mast. Arrived at this stage, the future ill not even notice anything, but the body is now equipped to respond vehement in the case of another exposure to allergens. At a time when other allergens are inhaled the same a second time, the immune system "berserk", turn on the mast that freed the prevalence of mediators, like histamine, which acts as broncho constringer (produces spasms that oppress the breathing ) parallel capillaries inducing acts on to release fluid in tissue that is swollen and then narrowing the bronchioles. Also other substances are produced, such as basic proteins that can damage the bronchial epithelium. The bronchial spasm at this point is ready to occur, and the disease can become chronic in the case of a continuous accumulation of mediators of inflammation.

Recently the EPA (Environment Protection Agency, an important United States unit for the control of the human ambient) has issued guidelines for dust control, dust abatement and for the regulation of the small PM10 particle emissions. These changes is going to be a priority for many international state governs to take control of dust pollution. The efforts to control dust will eventually help thousands of asthma sufferers.

There are many things people can do in own houses to control asthma and help lessen the burden. Some recommendations include the following tips:
• Clean your home at least once a week to eliminate dust
• Contact your county commissioner if you live in an area in need of dust control
• Exercise to strengthen your heart and lungs
• Use your air conditioner to reduce airborne pollens
• Use a dehumidifier to maintain optimal humidity

Talking about dust control, above all a good control of environment should be consideres as a necessary action to keep control of asthmatical patologies and to reduce pm10 particles. There are many societes that allow to maintain a good quality of soil, road and infrastructure. “Soils Control International (SCI)” is one of these societies dedicated to the goal of soil stabilization, erosion control.

Conglobate Acne is a combined chronic and severe form characterized by the presence of nodularity and cystic lesions with a tendency to the formation of a pseudo-abscess. It may be helpful as a soothing, in episodes of acute-pustular acne papules, make wraps with cotton wool dipped in a decoction previously cooled (to the limits of freezing) obtained by boiling water and chamomile flowers. Acne youth is reported by the presence of: comedone, age of onset, the typical locations. From the epidemiological point of view acne is a unease form, typically male patient and aged between puberty and the fourth decade of life. The genesis is unknown, probably the most important role is played by a particular and personal immune reactivity. The regions most affected are the spine and chest, while face is usually less affected. In women the lesions are distributed mainly in the axillary cave, breast skin and groin. If it locates on the scalp, the resulting picture may differ from the folliculitis and is characterized by the formation of abscesses with results in cicatricial alopecia with a chronic course.

Since it is a disease with many causes, acne treatment can act on multiple fronts, with proportional to the clinical severity.

If you prefer an antiseptic-antibiotic, there are many anti acne solution based on substances like tetracycline, clindamycin, erythromycin, benzyl-peroxide. To standardize the process of keratinization with a topical therapy, there are many acne product containing retinoic acid or other retinoids (isotretinoin and adapalene ) performing a similar action, Azelaic acid 20%.

Some researchers believe that exposure to sunlight may lead to improvement, probably because of the antiseptic power of UV as well as the immunosuppressive action of sunlight, which then reduces the flogistic component, for increasing the thickness of the stratum corneum. However, what you get is only a temporary masking dell'acne, not a real improvement. After exposure to UV acne reappears, often in even worse shape (the so-called rebound effect), mainly because thickening of the stratum corneum that facilitates the closure and the infection of the follicles. This also explains the deterioration that many teens suffer from acne are experiencing in the months of September and October. Then a good rule, after the bathing season is to a mild chemical peeling (exfoliation of the skin) can renew and normalize the skin.

Shopwiki: a target if you want to go beyond E-bay…

Last night, during one of my “go around” internet session, I discover this site called Shopwiki: I saw it as a online shopping site but totally different from classic sites like Ebay. ShopWiki seems to have revolutionized online shopping because it finds every store on the internet by “crawling”, that is it searched things you need all over the net, something like Google. Traditional shopping sites have only shown you stores that have been placed but ShopWiki will give an opportunity to shop about everything.
 
For example, if you want to buy a blender or similar kitchen appliances, you can search it on the page using something like this, and you will find better results than other sites because it gives you the opportunity to look for this kind of gadget in many safe sites. All products needed should be searched by Categories (like Ebay), by Brand, by alphabetical order or simply putting a keyword over a text field. So you may find many categories, many products, every kind of appliances, for example from Cambridge Tripoli Flatware Set to Denby Blue Linen Dinnerware. Apparently site needs registration, but there are many way to guarantee commercial protection about own personal data and registration is very fast and responsive.
 
At least, there’s something to talk about: this site offers a great opportunity to purchase healthy gadget allowing user to search into a large buying guide, so every people trying to search about a specified product should be good to take a look, maybe it should be a better site than other to find response for own needs.

The thin line between “saving” and “hazard”

Talking about “Global Village”, we can see how web developing brings new form of economy. Every products could be purchased or selled in every country we want to. Hence, it is possible to understand how this opportunity should be extended to pharmaceutical products. Many societies from growing countries like India, Cina, ect. are using internet to advertise our products or to publicize the chance to acquire products directly from their stores. Now, it is absolutely obvious that drugs acquirement from “the net” should be considered as dangerous and, in many countries, illegal, but it seems like this turnover is growing year after year. Will the global economic crisis to be seen as the motive that leads people to seek savings even putting their lives at risk?

For example, during a navigation session on the internet I saw a site that advertise an Indian Society which guarantee 10% reduction of normal American price on any product, notwithstanding they specify that “Indian medications” listed on their site are displayed with American name but they are Indian Brand Name Pharmaceuticals. Also, they specify that they usually sold medicines that are the “Indian versions” of their USA counterparts and they are (or is it better to say “they should be”?) identical cloens in their pharmaceutical-chemical makeup.

However, in spite of the fact that a society like medsindialtd should give lower prices (than American price, nothing known about European comparison), I disagree that online purchasing should be not considered as “a good affair”, also I think that pharmaceutical purchase is something strictly related to the main help a good doctor/pharmacist should give, even in these difficulty times. At least, online purchasing of pharmaceutical product should be considered as “the last chance” to obtain a drug which .

The purchase of pharmaceutical products online can be considered useful only if the person suffering from an illness, is unable to get their life-saving drug because of a lack of adequate health care by the government of his country or in case of medical price is really and unjustifiable higher and therefore in this case the purchase of a hazardous drug in India is more advantageous that the wrongfully being denied their right to health. In all other cases, let lose and come to your healthy national service, your personal doctor and your pharmacist in confidence.

A little bit of Golf

Golf is a sport in which a player must bring a ball in a hole dug in the ground using different types of clubs starting from a predetermined point and using as few strokes as possible. Golf is one of the few sports with a ball that does not have a playing standard: every 'golf course' has its own unique design and is generally composed of 9 or 18 holes of various lengths. Long walks in contact with nature, silence, breathe air and have moments of concentration, all things that can help the health of every person.

It is believed that golf commonly originates in Scotland but some fans and historians mention the existence of written documents to state the practice of a game called "golf" in the Netherlands since 1297. The origin of the word should be sought, following an approach in the etymological idioms medieval Scottish and Dutch, the word "kolve" which meant club. This sport was part of the Olympic program in 1900 and 1904.

Golf is a sport governed by numerous rules hours, apparently complicated: having to provide various game situations. The importance of knowing the rules for a player of golf is greatest: this is probably the only sport in which everyone is a judge himself, so honesty and respect must be part of the baggage of every golfer. In addition, there are procedures to follow to avoid penalties or simply to exploit its advantage in certain situations.

During a navigation session on the internet I found MyrtleBeachGolf.net. It’s the official site of the famous Myrtle Beach golf vacations and it is the first choice for all golf lovers. They book packages and vacations. Golfers can get online quotes and look at all the Grand Strand area golf courses. They have a team of golf specialists that can create custom golf vacation packages for all the passionate golf player. In that site they also explain what are the better periods to play golf (and, of course, to prenote a holiday at their hotel). Golf Myrtle Beach offers some attractions and guarantee enjoyment with bar, ristorants and nightlife.

If you want to discover all the challenging courses they could offer and all the resort service you can suspire for your holiday plan, take a look at their site expecially for what they offer about Myrtle Beach Golf Packages.

Eye floaters and Eyefloaters.info

Su richiesta del sito citato, pubblico sul blog la versione in inglese dell'articolo precedente:

Computer, books, journals, portable phones, video terminals, glasses, contact lens. Our eyes is constantly working, everyday, about 12 hours at day. In these last years the appearing frequency of a disturb in the eyesight called “Eye floaters” is increasing. Eye Floaters are quickly annoying dark signs that may damage simple operations like reading a text. It’s like “having rubbish on the lens”, and that appears especially in rapid eye movement. One of the most significant symptom of this problem is the appearing of a vision of a transparent smooth spider web that float in the field of vision when watching skies or light backgrounds. In extreme cases, this problem should damage the eyesight of patient making him impossible to bring on focus a object or a point of the background, or altering the field with moving dots or dust, strings and squiggly lines.

Specialists are agreed to consider Eye Floaters related to a inflammatory damaging process that involved the “Corpus Vitreus”, a jelly substance placed in the backboard of the eye, beyond the retina and behind the lens. This gel is made with hydrate tissue, and the “inflammations” determine the breakup of the tissue, making pieces floating into spaces.

Despite the increasing frequency of medical cases reported, actually this disease is not considered a “official pathology” but a simple symptom tied to “ageing”.

Regarding the possible therapy, actually there are few choices. A increasing body and eye hydratation with food “vitamin” supplement are considered effective to retard the progression of this ill. In most serious cases, there are chirurgical operations like “Vitreoctomy”.

In USA there’s a site called “Eyefloaters.info”, an English language site in which there’s explanation about eye floaters and a promotion about a book containing “a promise of a cure to reduce and eliminate Eye Floaters in about 7 days”. Apparently this site is not talking about pharmaceutical treatment, but sells a book where there’s should be some suggestions to heavy the “quality life” of eyes, making it possible to improve eyesight of suffering people. It’s a little bit curious to read the part when the author says he discovered this cure “while reading an old Native American remedies book”. The price for this book is about 10$, payable by paypal. Absolutely I don’t know about the efficience of this “Native American cure” or about the contents of the book sold, but at least the site is not seemingly to sell dangerous drugs (at this time there’s no official acknowledged therapy for eye floaters) and meanwhile is promoting discussions about the frequency of a “eye ill” that nowadays is heavy underestimated.
