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

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 Decisive action in Ghana against the Marburg virus Ghana's health authorities say that without immediate and decisive action the Marburg virus could easily get out of control, this after confirming two cases in the country (in deceased subjects) of this very contagious and Ebola-like virus in laboratories in Senegal. Contact cases identified in Ghana that did not subsequently show symptoms were isolated; this is the second Marburg outbreak in West Africa after the one in Guinea last year. To report changing the subject but remaining on health issues that in Italy are over one hundred and seventy thousand victims of the SARS-CoV-2 virus since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, then lately over one hundred and twenty thousand infections have been monitored in one day and one hundred and seventy-six victims due mainly to the high contagiousness of the Omicron BA.5 variant. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 20, 2022 n°: 5084 Millions of children without basic vaccinations As a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic that has put a strain on the proper functioning of health systems, about twenty-five million children in the world would not have received the so-called basic life-saving vaccinations last year (two million more than in 2020), bringing vaccination coverage to very low levels that have not been seen since the beginning of the century. It was thought that after the first year of the pandemic it was possible to better organize vaccination campaigns for children, but the situation has been worsening as happened in Africa for measles cases that have grown by up to four hundred percent. To be reported by changing the subject but remaining on health issues cases of Indian variant "Centaurus" of the SARS-CoV-2 virus identified in Great Britain, it seems to be very contagious even if the vaccines would remain effective in avoiding deaths. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 16, 2022 n°: 5081 Quarantine nCov for millions of people in China The Chinese health authorities would have promoted a new initiative to track cases of positivity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus, there is talk of tens of millions of people in quarantine with inevitable complaints of those who are again forced to a kind of confinement with home delivery of food (for the well-known zero Covid strategy adopted by the country). It is feared for the spread of the subvariant Omicron BA.5.2 very contagious and that tends to bypass the defenses of the immune system. Of note is the sequencing in Great Britain and Germany of a new Omicron subvariant called BA.2.75 because it is similar to BA.2 which, however, has some small specific differences that could make it even more immune elusive and therefore able to reinfect people who have already come into contact with the virus as well as lowering the percentage of vaccination effectiveness. e-mail: info@salutary.eu Tel: +39 338 1809310 Date: Jul 07, 2022 n°: 5073 Health and Wellness * The author doesn't assume some kind of responsibility for the bad use of the articles councils (all rights are reserved) |
