HIV Dementia Epidemic in Uganda
2008-05-20 14:00:00 A recently released study has showen that 465,000 HIV-positive people in Uganda are experiencing symptoms of dementia, including memory loss, learning problems and behavioural disabilities. The researchers found that dementia symptoms were more prevalent in older adults.“If the rate we saw in our study translates across sub-Saharan Africa, then we are looking at more than eight million people in this region with HIV dementia,” said Ned Sacktor of the US-based John Hopkins University, who led the study. These findings pose yet another challenge to a country that is already overwhelmed by the health challenges posed by the AIDS epidemic. The researchers tested 78 HIV-positive people attending a clinic in Kampala, Uganda and compared the results with a control group 100 HIV-negative subjects. HIV dementia is treatable and potentially reversible although anti-retroviral medication is largely unavailable in many Third World countries. Sacktor hopes studies like his will highlight the...

An Examination of the Frog Extinction Epidemic
2008-05-10 11:00:00 Although many factors are involved in this epidemic, one of the worst is the Chytrid fungus epidemic. It is being spread by Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis (Bd), which causes chytridiomycosis. This fungal disease is devastating frog populations all over the world, but particularly in Australia, and North, Central and South America.The devastation in Central America has been particularly acute, with many species simply vanishing from the face of the Earth. Bd is just now spreading here in the US, with serious devastation of Sierra Mountain Yellow-Legged Frog populations in the Sierra Nevada. However, some populations are apparently surviving the epidemic with some some survivors intact and thereupon rebuilding their populations.A paper in Nature (Pounds 2006) made the case that the chytrid epidemic was being driven by global warming. They suggested that Bd had always been there but had only become pathogenic in the face of global warming.A new paper (Lips 2008) in the journal PLoS Bio...

The HIV-AIDS epidemic has been fuelled by gender inequality
2008-05-06 15:55:00 Worldwide, rates of sexually transmitted infections among young people are soaring: one-third of the 340 million new STIs each year occur in people under 25 years of age. Each year, more than one in every 20 adolescents contracts a curable STI. More than half of all new HIV infections occur in people between the ages of 15 to 24 years. The sexual health needs for adolescent girls are generally overlooked, Stigma and vulnerability affects particular groups of men as well as women. Although men generally have more access to information on sexual issues than women, and more decision-making power regarding sexual behavior, Access to information, and treatment for other infections which facilitate the transmission of HIV and onset of AIDS, including sexually transmitted infections, are limited because of weak public health services, health workers? negative attitudes, and the high cost of treatment. If the adolescents are informed and thought about their sexual and reproductive health, ...

Simon Doonan:rising porno-chic epidemic
2008-03-31 20:28:00 Faced with the current stateof red-carpet blandness and rising porno-chic epidemic (bleach-blond hair, pneumatic breasts, butt-crack jeans), Doonan penned his new tome as a humorous how-to for gals who believe looking "interesting and alluring" is better than simply appearing "sexually available.""They are two horribly worrying trends!" says Doonan, 55, perched in his E. Ninth St. apartment. "Celebrities are becoming so gun-shy that there is no diversity, no sense of fun on the red carpet. There's no experimentation - which is incredibly important to fashion."And then there's the embrace of porno chic. "Imagine if you said to people 20 years ago that in 2008 a significant number of women would be going around dressing like porno stars with fake hoot-ers and butt cracks showing? No one would have believed you," says Doonan."What fashion and style are real-ly about is personal expression and individuality, eccentricity, idiosyncrasy and, of course, fun," he says.

Prevention Measures - Fight The Foreclosure Epidemic!
2008-03-24 12:51:00 When foreclosure news rang the distress bells for many home owners, this one will surely give some respite to many who are doing their best to save their homes. Many distressed home owners in Chicago now have a host of resources available to help them tide over the crisis. For instance, The Housing Department of Chicago is sending out post cards listing the available resources to home owners who face the foreclosure filing for the week. Usually, it is easier for the home owners to get the lender to flex the payment terms before the foreclosure filing begins. However, given the increasing number of such cases, the lenders are agreeing for a loan adjustment. Also, major lenders announced a ONE month “pause” immediately after a foreclosure is filed, allowing the home owner to try and work something before the procedure takes full course. Home owners in Illinois struggling to make mortgage payments will now be able to refinance their loans as the state has announced a $200 Million f...

Obesity - A Growing Epidemic
2008-03-08 06:17:00 We are all aware of the growing obese epidemic that is presently a serious health problem in many parts of the world. We hear it on the news and we see it all around us in our own lives and of those we know. In the United States alone the problem is growing at an overwhelming rate.True genetics contribute to obesity, however, the rate at which this problem is increasing shows that environmental factors and how we chooses to live our lives play a significant role. Obesity leads to serious health risks. Serious health risks and conditions reduce your chances of reaching your full potential in life.Here are some obesity statistics.

Bullying the epidemic that’s a growing concern
2008-03-06 03:52:00 This is the last in the three part series on a worldwide probelm By Gina Burgess Originally published in the Picayune Item Behavior that offends or harms someone is a broad definition of workplace bullying. Mary tells Sandra that Betty is sleeping with the boss, when in fact the rumor isn’t true. Spreading gossip or rumors is one type of indirect bullying. When a vicious rumor is spread with the intent to get a person fired, that is defined as an intent to harm, but few would call that a criminal act worthy of jail time. According to Workplace Bullying and Trauma Institute, workplace bullying is “the repeated mistreatment of one employee targeted by one or more employees with a malicious mix of humiliation, intimidation and sabotage of performance.” Court cases involving disability, ethnic and gender discrimination, and sexual harassment have had such reasonable success as to cause laws to be enacted to make them criminal acts if proven. However, statistics show that b...
Bullying is the silent epidemic part 1
2008-03-06 03:44:00 By Gina Burgess Lifestyles Editor First published in the Picayune Item  A six year old girl is walking home from school. The street is deserted and there are no other children at play close by. Suddenly an older girl stops her bicycle in front of the little girl. She grabs the little one’s chin and slaps her face leaving a redden hand print on her little cheek. The older girl then verbally abuses the child and slaps her again, threatening the child with more of the same treatment if the older girl sees her walking down her block again. The child’s parents are concerned, but don’t have a recourse because they don’t know the older girl’s name or where she lives and the incident didn’t happen on school grounds. Bullying like this is more prevalent than most people realize. Dr. Ken Druck, the founder of Families Helping Families program, worked with families at Columbine High School and Santana High School and other families who have had tragedies. He describes bullying a...

Unemployment Too Becomes an Epidemic
2008-02-22 20:02:00 by Dahr Jamail and Ahmed Ali BAQUBA, Feb 21 (IPS) - For a few, salaries have soared. For the rest, unemployment has Many Iraqi workers enjoyed huge salary increases following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in March 2003. But unemployment rose more sharply under policies introduced by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA). CPA head L. Paul Bremer decommissioned the Iraqi military, leading to overnight unemployment for hundreds of thousands of military personnel. And that was not all. The ministries of culture and information also saw drastic layoffs, some through privatisation. Almost a year into the occupation, defence ministry employees, many of them ex-military, started to receive monthly payments of about 100 dollars as "donation of emergency". "This payment does not meet 10 percent of the monthly needs of many families," ex-soldier in the previous Iraq army Muhsin Aboud told IPS in Baquba, 40 km northeast of Baghdad.

In fact, the coughing is still here right now as I write this. The muscle aches have pretty much resolved. And, to be honest, this was the main symptom that was bothering me. The headache and sore throat are continuing to improve. It's a good thing, because I'm on call tomorrow and the weekend coming up.As I was doing more research this weekend, I found this article from the Associated Press from February 15th saying that this year's flu vaccine is effective for only 40% of this year's flu viruses.Infections from an unexpected strain have been booming, and now are the main agent behind most of the nation's lab-confirmed flu cases, said Dr. Joe Bresee, the CDC's chief of influenza epidemiology.

Mastocytic enterocolitis: A new epidemic, mastocytic inflammatory bowel dis
2008-02-04 08:01:00 Mastocytic enterocolitis is a new entity that has been described more recently as a condition characterized by increase mast cells of 20 or more per high-powered field in the duodenum or colon. Jakate et al. described 47 patients with intractable diarrhea and abdominal pain without other cause who had elevated mast cell numbers in intestinal biopsies and responded to therapy directed at mast cells. The patients generally met criteria for diarrhea predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Normal subjects had much lower levels of mast cells of an average of 12 per HPF. Until recently this condition was missed due to lack of ability to see mast cells on biopsies in the background of normal cells. However, commercially available special stains utilizing immunohistochemistry for the enzyme tryptase allows the mucosal mast cells to be seen and counted in intestinal tissue obtained from routine random intestinal biopsies. Over the past year I have been asking the pathologists to perform ...

The AIDS Epidemic
2008-01-09 20:39:00 Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) is a human viral disease that destroys the immune system undermining the very system by which we ward off disease and infection. These infections would be harmless to a normal, healthy immune system but can prove fatal to an individual with a compromised immune system. Often used interchangeably, HIV is not AIDS. The term AIDS is generally only used when the viral disease HIV is in its final, life threatening stage" to which some individuals do not arrive for sometimes more than ten years.Often referred to as a homosexual disease, the opposite could not be more true. There are three identified transmitters of the disease: sexual intercourse with an infected person, contact with contaminated blood, and the transmission of the disease from a mother to her child while in the womb and sometimes during the actual birth.Symptoms of infection usually follow a typical course.
