The government veterinary service providers had knowledge about avian influenza based on their training or experience with prevention and control. An officer said, “Bird flu is responsible for the die-off in chickens during the last 2 years. Bird flu transmits to humans... and infects both ch...
influenza. coronaviruses. germs that cause gum disease. meningitis. mumps. polio. rubella. Can you get strep without tonsils? Strep throat is a highly contagious infection. It causes swelling of the tonsils and the throat, butyou can still get it even if you don't have tonsils. Not having...
A more sensitive approach than relying on symptoms is to isolate viruses from patients (i.e., grow them in cell culture). If SARS-CoV-2 can be isolated from a nose or throat swab, or from saliva, it is likely that the patient is infectious. Indeed, an rRT-PCR test cannot establish ...
The question is whether such a test is necessary and who should get it? A 2007 prospective observational study looked at 293 adult ED patients with syncope, of which 113 (39%) underwent head CT and of those, 5 patients (5%) had an abnormal head CT (Grossman 2007). These abnormal ...
(Figure3). If one provides those building blocks in the test tube, the synthesis restarts in the form of anendogenousDNA polymerase reaction (i.e. without externally added nucleic acid template), and if the nucleotide triphosphates are radioactively labeled this process can not only be detected...
production time is shortened. So the time required to design and test new mRNA vaccines is also very short, with significant advantages against outbreaks such as influenza and COVID-1940,41. However, mRNA vaccines have a short intracellular half-life and easily degrade in vivo and during ...
I remember one year going to a training about influenza from the mainstream, organized medicine system, and the doctor provided an overview of all the vaccines on the market that year; one still had Thimerosol in it (and therefore the things in it that the Thimerosol was there to interfere...
(48% in HMOs vs 30% FFS) and urinalyses (89% in HMOs vs 74% FFS) performed. Enrollees with poor diabetic control were also more likely than FFS diabetics to be referred to an ophthalmologist (45% in HMOs vs 11% FFS). However, influenza vaccinations were administered to diabetics more...
When a vaccination is 100% effective over a year, 42,669 could be saved in Tanzania (i.e. the cost per saved life is $7.07 (301,481/42,669). c The cost-effectiveness ratio (CER) of such an intervention is determined by dividing the annual cost per DALY saved over the Tanzanian ...
