Information request about pneumonia in China Detailed information on an increase in respiratory diseases found in children would have been requested by international health agencies from China, apparently due to known pathogens such as those related to influenza, mycoplasma pneumoniae, syncytial virus and SARS-CoV-2; efforts are being made to strengthen surveillance in health facilities and the capacity to treat patients. It should be noted that recently with regard to Covid-19 the Omicron subvariant BA.2.86 is under attention even if it does not seem that there are no particular differences in the severity of contagion, then an assessment of the risks of the Omicron EG.5 subvariant widespread in the world was presented. Shifting attention to Italy it is worth noting an increase in SARS-CoV-2 infections monitored lately, then worrying cases of Dengue (break-bone fever) carried by mosquitoes in Sardinia. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 23, 2023

 Increased prevalence of Dengue in Bangladesh Climate change in Bangladesh tends to provide mosquitoes of the Aedes aegypti species with a very favorable environment for their spread and therefore to carry Dengue, due to higher temperatures with a monsoon of longer duration and consequently heavy rainfall with unusual parameters such as what happened for the month of October. Over one thousand four hundred and seventy victims with over two hundred and ninety thousand infections would be the toll of the viral disease in 2023 with hospitals struggling to treat an increasing number of patients. Dengue is very common in South Asia from June to September and causes severe bone and muscle pain. To report changing the subject but remaining on salutary issues the disastrous health situation in Gaza City and in general throughout the Gaza Strip due to a conflict that has practically lasted for decades without any solutions being sought. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 16, 2023 n°: 5495 Climate crisis is also detrimental to health The naturalistic climate crisis and that related to human health should not be assessed separately, at least in the opinion of more than two hundred medical journals that warn international health organizations of the potential significant danger (to be declared as a global emergency) to human health for climate change and biodiversity loss. Among the factors to be taken into account as intertwined are rising temperatures, extreme events and the decline of wild species; in fact, for example, in the latter case tens of thousands of species have been forced into close contact due to the exploitation of human territory, increasing the exchange of pathogens with the risk of the onset of new diseases. Global warming must be stopped at an average of one and a half degrees of increase before the damage becomes irreversible. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 26, 2023 n°: 5478 Study on interferon release in long Covid The feeling of having had a cognitive decline described as a kind of brain fog after being infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus even with few symptoms and after some time according to researchers could depend on the release of interferon, at least according to a study that points out that these proteins that signal a viral threat negatively affect the release of a neurotransmitter such as serotonin with consequent cognitive impact and therefore less lucid mind. Some long Covid patients had fragments of the virus in their throats long after they had not been tested positive for the virus again and these fragments apparently are sufficient for the release of interferon, then is talk about a mechanism of inflammation that affects the digestive system with less ability to absorb tryptophan, an essential amino acid component of serotonin. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 23, 2023 n°: 5475 Light pollution as a disease The loss of a pristine environment, a heritage, an identity, storytelling and ancient sky traditions due to light pollution that no longer allows many stars to be seen with the naked eye can be a kind of "noctalgia" pathology, at least according to the opinion of researchers who point out that the ability to appreciate the night sky is being lost, with consequences for the entire ecosystem. In the cities can hardly see anything except a few stars, and the night sky is seven to ten percent brighter every year, this means for example counting about one hundred and fifty fewer stars after twenty years. To report changing the subject but remaining on salutary issues that recently international organizations have warned that Dengue (carried by mosquitoes) could become endemic in areas of the United States, Europe and Africa due to rising temperatures. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 18, 2023 n°: 5471 New Omicron subvariants rampant in U.S. The American authorities would be willing to invest a sum to develop a new Covid-19 vaccine since in addition to the Omicron BA.5 subvariant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in the United States, the BA.2.86 subvariant is apparently also spreading; in the latter case it is a subvariant with many mutations that since August 17 has been under observation by international health agencies, but it is not yet known how virulent it can be. Some say that the new subvariants are so far from the first nCov pandemic virus that it is basically another virus there are many mutations that have accumulated over time, for example over thirty in the spike protein that the virus exploits to infect human cells compared to the BA.2 subvariant and generally it is unusual for this type of virus to develop so many mutations. For frail people with weakened immune systems it is advisable to protect oneself from a possible contagion. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 26, 2023 n°: 5425 Omicron Covid-19 subvariant under observation The Omicron EG.5 subvariant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus could become dominant in some countries, at least according to mathematical models that estimate its ability to spread rapidly and therefore to be kept under observation and that international health organizations evaluate as a variant of interest even if it does not pose particular problems compared as effects on the organism to other subvariants (for example XBB.1.5 and XBB.1.6), but in fragile individuals or with weakened immune systems it could pose a risk so in these cases it is advisable to protect yourself. As for the available vaccines it is assumed that the new subvariant is very skilled in circumventing their coverage; in fact, in practice with each Covid wave the virus adapts better and better to live with humans with small mutations that must also be taken into account with regard to the impact on the population. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 14, 2023 n°: 5414 A common medicine perhaps attenuates long Covid The long Covid incidence would be reduced by more than forty percent by taking metformin, a common inexpensive medicine available in many countries around the world and used in cases of type two diabetes, in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus; at least according to a study that offers hope to those who complain of the long-lasting unhealthy effects of Covid-19, but still in its early stages that does not provide precise data on the mechanism of action of the medicine. It has been noted by comparing with other medicines tested in cases of long Covid a greater effectiveness in reducing those illnesses that reduce the quality of life of these patients. To be noted changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues the epidemic of Dengue in Peru, the worst in the country history (it is estimated over two hundred victims for complications), it seems that climate change favors the multiplication of mosquitoes. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 14, 2023 n°: 5362 Research on uncontrolled use of PFAS The presence in the environment of almost indestructible chemicals called PFAS is monitored more and more frequently with non-negligible risks to health and according to the opinion of some researchers of the industries producing these persistent pollutants they would have avoided communicating the real dangers connected to their large-scale use, thus avoiding restrictions and limiting regulations. These PFAS (perfluoroalkyl) produced since 1940, a class of over nine thousand synthetic chemicals, are present almost everywhere such as in non-stick pans, food containers, makeup, clothes, furnishing objects; in fact, they have characteristics that make them fireproof, lubricant and so resistant that in practice they pollute the environment with persistence "forever chemicals". The authorities have been trying hard to ban them for some time. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jun 03, 2023 n°: 5353 Epidemic in animals of avian influenza in Chile It is estimated that since the beginning of the year on the north coast of Chile over seven thousand six hundred sea lions, almost twelve hundred Humboldt penguins (an endangered species present only in Chile and Peru), several otters and dolphins have died due to an epidemic of avian influenza. The authorities would have activated a so-called surveillance protocol since the disease is present in twelve of the sixteen regions of Chile. In Cambodia in February an eleven-year-old girl would have lost her life due to H5N1 bird flu and her father had been infected, but apparently there was no talk of danger of infection from man to man. To be reported changing the subject but remaining on health issues the need for vaccinations against tetanus and hepatitis in Conselice in the province of Ravenna in Emilia Romagna in Italy due to the stagnation of water after the disastrous flood that hit the region. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: May 27, 2023 n°: 5347 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
