Wide spread of tablet computers, such as iPad, led to the increase of specific deseases of supporting motor system. The scientists say that it’s very difficult to fing a comfortable body position while working with tablet computers. The wrong position causes mainly the deseases of the neck.
The first place among these deseases belongs to repetitive strain injuries – the injuries of tendons because of repetitive monotonous effort and tension. The most wide-spread of such injuries is carpal tunnel syndrom, which is the impaction and damage of median nerve as a result of using a mouse or holding the tablet.
Long usage of index finger for menu and pages navigation also leads to permanent injury of muscles and tendons connected with him.
It is also reported that tablet computers users often complain on permanent pain in left thumb, which suffers from big stress from holding the device, and also uncomfortable feelings in elbows and shoulders, caused by sitting in uncomfortable position while working with the tablet.
The whole set of such disorders has already got a nickname of iPad hand among the users of tablet computers.
The doctors claim that the complaints on such disorders are coming more and more often. They give an advice to keep the correct posture and to have often small breaks while working to reduce such symptomes.
A group of 39 world leading researchers of influenza virus claimed about self-imposed 60-days moratorium on any reseaches, which could simplify the spread of H5N1 influenza virus among mammals. This claim has been published in 2 leading science magazins – Science and Nature.
Some time earlier under the pressure of US Government 2 groups of scientists, who were making a research of genetical features of bird influenza H5N1 virus, agreed to delete detailed descriptions of methods from their articles for Science and Nature magazines. The fears of US National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity – NSABB appeared because of the fact that during the experiments there were made virus strains capable to be passed among mammals – ferrets.
Now existing strains of bird influenza can’t pass among people, the infection can happen only after contacting with birds. However, if there appeared a strain capable to pass among people, the pandemia of bird influenza would become almost imminent. The authorities were afraid that such descriptions of methods of getting new strains could become a weapon in bioterrorists’ hands.
At the end of december NSABB offered the scientists to scratch peacefully from publications of the researches about getting starins of influenza H5N1 virus.
Now virologists claimed about 2-months pause in their research work connected with new strains of bird influenza virus.
“We understand that organizations and authorities all over the world need time to find the best solution of problems and challenges connected with this work. In order to give time for discussion, we have made an arrangement about peaceful 60-days pause of any researches, including experiments with highpathogenic bird influenza H5N1 virus, which can lead to the appearance of generations of viruses, capable to pass among mammals better.” – is said in a letter.
Moreover, the scientists give up work on the experiments with virus H5N1 strains for which there was already proved the ability to pass among ferrets.
However, virologists will continue to work on hazard identification of new strains of bird influenza viruses appearing in nature.
The authors of the letter think it’s important to gather an international forum where scientific community could discuss these problems.
The scientists assure that all previously made researches correspond to the requirements of safety, they are made by qualified and responsible personnel.
In traditional medicine, measles usually referred to typical infections, whereas the virus, its agent, has many unusual features.
First, the infection is characterized by high, almost 100% susceptibility: in contact with the sick person there are great chances to join the ranks of patients. The way to transmit the measles – airborne, but the volatility of this virus is truly impressive! For example, you may not be familiar with their neighbors and not even be with them in personal contact, just use one elevator! Due to high volatility, each person comes into contact with the causative agent of this disease over a lifetime than once.
Pathways of this virus are the upper respiratory tract mucous membranes and eyes, from which it successfully applied to mucous membranes throughout the respiratory system, intestines and cells of the central nervous system. The incubation period is at least 1 week, on average 8-10 days, sometimes, if the body stubbornly resists, the latent period of the disease increases to 3 weeks.
Attention! A day or two before the first explicit evidence of infection sick child is dangerous to other people. The disease starts with these symptoms: fever, runny nose, cough and headaches. It must be remembered that the disease is accompanied by a general decrease in immunity, against which it is easy to catch, and other infections, so the patient must necessarily be limited to contact with others. Particular attention to cleaning and hygienic.
1. The beginning of the disease.
Usually the flu starts sharply and the persons may even say an hour when they got sick.
SARS starts gradually, growing with every day that passes.
2. Temperature.
Influenza: it may up to 39-40 C and above in a few hours, holds at least 3 days.
SARS: not rises much, usually below 38.5 C, it may take a day or two to go away.
3. General feelings.
The flu: the whole body aches, chills, sweating, pain in the temples, pain in the eyes when you try to move them, photophobia.
SARS: fatigue, but without pronounced pain.
4. Running nose.
The flu: typically does not happen. If appears, then on the second day of illness. Occasionally – sneezing. Often conjunctivitis.
SARS: nose is stuffed up, the feeling of swelling. A bad cold. Frequent sneezing. Eyes are watered, but conjunctivitis usually does not happen.
5. Throat
The flu: red and swollen rear wall of the pharynx and soft palate. On the second day there is a painful cough, chest pain. The cough can turn into bronchitis and last two to three weeks.
SARS: the red and loose all the time during the disease. Cough is dry and hacking.
6. Digestive tract.
Flu often may be accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea, especially if you get virus H1N1, which will circulate this season.
SARS: Diarrhea and vomiting are rare.
7. The illness time.
The flu: fever is up for 4 days, the disease usually continues for 10 days. But once the temperature goes down, for 2-3 weeks can not pass, insomnia, headache, weakness, irritability and fatigue.
SARS: the symptoms stay for about 7 days. Asthenic syndrome (fatigue and weakness), after an illness not.
The most common form of stomatitis are caused by a weakening of the so-called local immunity of the mouth. Saliva is a complex set of chemical elements designed to combat various infections enter the body. Usual scratches or burns on the tongue should heal within two to three days. But if this process is delayed and damaged tissues become painful sores, it means that local security system of the mouth is faltering.
Stomatitis is a chronic inflammatory disease of the mucous membranes of the mouth, that causes a rash. What Causes the most different, but again related to reduction of general and local immunity. Canker sores may appear, for example, due to spring vitamin balance disorders as a result of allergy or as a process concomitant diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The lesions heal for a long time, usually it takes 20 days.
Treatment of stomatitis is a medical impact directed on the ulcer, and the therapy directed to preventing relapses or remissions extension.
In the treatment of stomatitis using pain ointment with lidocaine, antiseptics, anti-inflammatory and healing remedies, drugs (sea-buckthorn oil, vitamin A and E capsules).
Make a survey aimed at identifying comorbidities. Determining the pathology of treatment you will be assigned by the relevant specialist (physician, gastroenterologist, audiologist, endocrinologist, etc.)
During the period of exacerbation of the disease you should follow a diet that excludes hot, spicy, spicy and coarse food.
Determining the source of allergy it’s necessary to eliminate contact between the allergen and the patient. If this is impossible, use the treatment reducing effects on the body of allergen. For the treatment of throat use gargle. Define diagnosis and start the treatment.
