Young and old more susceptible to H3N2 flu It is known that young and old are more at risk for healthy complications caused by the flu, but it is not clear what the motivation is even if researchers suspect that it may depend for example on which strain of flu circulated when were first infected; therefore the immune system tends to respond better with the original strain to which have been exposed and less well when find yourself infected with the new A H3N2 strain now circulating. It may be useful to wear the mask to avoid being infected by what is called a kind of perfect storm of various flu viruses that generally affect the respiratory tree to avoid serious consequences that can reach up to admission to intensive care. Flu vaccines apparently have an effectiveness of forty to sixty percent in avoiding severe complications. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Dec 02, 2022

 An mRNA vaccine maybe for all flu strains The testing of a unique vaccine with messenger RNA technology targeted to all influenza strains opens a new sector with a wide range of possibilities, at least according to researchers who say that the vaccine still in the early stages of development produces high levels of antibodies (but in animals and therefore in addition to ethical problems regarding this type of experimentation it is not said that the effects on humans are the same); then it aims to induce the immune system to a memory for each flu variant and subvariant. To report shifting the attention to other health issues the invitation of Italian health authorities to avoid crowding for discounted purchases for the holidays so as not to allow influenza viruses and SARS-CoV-2 to spread further, since an increase in infections has been monitored lately. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Nov 26, 2022 n°: 5193 Health effects of climate change The increase in temperatures due to global warming amplifies pulmonary and cardiac respiratory diseases, increases the risks of problems regarding the outcome of maternity, worsens the quality of sleep (resulting in fatigue at work with possible accidents, drowsiness driving that leads to errors and strokes of sleep, poor mental clarity in important decisions), people's ability to work and exercise; then researchers in a study warn that infectious diseases such as malaria have a longer season to spread without considering that mosquitoes can carry different diseases. There are also unthinkable effects such as fires that render useless surgical instruments that lose sterility or a combination of unhealthy factors due to climate change. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 31, 2022 n°: 5171 Viruses adaptable to a warmer planet Like humans, animals, plants and fungi, viruses need a favorable environment to replicate and spread as happened with the Covid-19 pandemic, so according to the researchers a warmer planet could lead the viruses present in Alaska to come into contact with new environments that have become favorable to host them in what is called a viral spillover. The study with genetic analysis carried out on samples taken from the great Lake Hazen in Alaska, subject to global warming and considered of considerable interest for research of this type, would have in practice highlighted how if the viral leap occurred once it can still happen even if it is a very unpredictable circumstance. More studies are needed in this area, but in the past some have argued that many viruses could take advantage of climate change. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Oct 19, 2022 n°: 5161 Surveillance of Ebola cases in African countries The health authorities would have declared an outbreak of Ebola in Uganda after the confirmation of a case with a fairly rare strain of Sudan, then there is talk of eight suspected cases and an attempt is made to isolate the infected. International health authorities; moreover, are concerned about the possible ability of the virus to spread rapidly in Abidjan (in the West Africa) and there are also two suspected cases of Ebola in Ivory Coast with consequent surveillance measures, containment of infections and identification of contacts. A so-called vaccination ring is the usually adopted strategy of providing vaccine doses to people who have had contact with confirmed Ebola infected. The disease is manifested by high fever, in some cases diarrhea and abdominal pain and in severe cases unstoppable bleeding. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 23, 2022 n°: 5139 Urgent exit from the use of fossil fuels The increasing threat to humanity with increasing costs for inaction would have pushed about two hundred organizations to propose a kind of treaty for an urgent exit from the use of fossil fuels, then from the point of view of health in practice we talk about self-sabotage (it is estimated that pollution causes over seven million victims every year) regarding the lack of interventions for the transition to renewables. The transition should take place in a balanced way with support from rich countries to the poorest so as not to exacerbate differences in living standards. Can't have both health and fossil fuels being incompatible, moreover; the capture of carbon dioxide is a false solution and other futuristic proposals are difficult to achieve. Visits for asthma are increasingly frequent, cases of pneumonia have doubled and it also happens that pharmacies run out of medicines that help to breathe. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 14, 2022 n°: 5131 Long illnesses by Covid at the study It is hypothesized in the so-called Long Covid that fragments of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus may persist in the tissues of some individuals causing many prolonged debilitating malaise that last months and described with about two hundred symptoms such as pain, fever, headache, cognitive difficulties, shortness of breath and fatigue at the slightest effort or activity; so researchers are trying to understand through the advanced analysis of images and gene sequences of tissues which viral mechanism can cause damage to the immune system by developing effective medicines for the treatment of this still little-known pathology that affects one hundred and fifty million people in the world (it seems one in five adult Americans who has had Covid). It is first necessary to understand if the patient is still n-CoV positive, then some evidence shows that the virus present in the tissues continues to provoke the response of the immune system. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Sep 10, 2022 n°: 5128 Containing cases of monkeypox in the world After the first victims outside Africa were declared (in Spain and Brazil partly to be confirmed) due to the monkeypox virus, international healthy organizations warn that there could be more victims as infections increase in the world although generally no serious complications are expected for the disease and often no special care is needed. Containing cases of mpox infection especially in Europe, which remains the most affected area of the world, remains a priority as well as warning the younger population to protect themselves for example at parties and gatherings. In total the cases monitored in the world since the beginning of the epidemic in May are over eighteen thousand considering that it is a global health emergency that can still be under control with the vaccination. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Aug 02, 2022 n°: 5095 Cases of monkeypox still on the rise The monitored cases of contagion of monkeypox virus (mpox) continue to increase in many countries of the world and for example there is talk of alert for the health authorities of San Francisco and generally calls to pay attention to infections especially for the younger population. Opinions about this virus are varied with some researchers saying that it is not a real danger, while others warn that countermeasures must be taken in addition to adequate measures to contain the epidemic (in France about one hundred vaccination centers have been opened). To report changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that in Italy despite the summer period have returned from three days to two hundred victims a day due to the SARS-CoV-2 virus even if it often happens that people already suffering from other pathologies with risk of death also have Covid. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 29, 2022 n°: 5092 Review the threshold of caution for the mpox virus International health authorities say they want to review the risk posed by monkeypox virus (mpox) and decide if it is a global emergency given the worsening data of infections monitored with almost fourteen thousand cases in seventy countries (six countries more than last week). Is try to keep infections under control with countermeasures and recommendations as well as containment initiatives especially for young people living in densely populated urban areas. To report changing the subject but remaining on healthy issues that in Indonesia with five hundred and eighty victims due to Dengue fever the number has almost tripled compared to last year, then the infections monitored in the country were over sixty-one thousand compared to twenty thousand two hundred and fifty. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 23, 2022 n°: 5087 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
