The influence of 2009

The 2009 season has been an influence "routine". Normally patients take their seasonal flu vaccination. Those people who had flu symptoms are usually the doctor's office for examination and testing. It is usually easy to identify patients with the flu. The stuffy nose and sore throat usual, there are some people whose appearance is really just sick. These people seem to usually just woke up, their hair matted, his beard is long, andare in sweaters or blankets, but still covered trembling. In the medical office, and are taken for signs of flu or other problems. When the throat is red, are examined especially for sore throats.

The nasal flu, influenza is an antibody test for type A or B then available. Looking at the patient's clinical symptoms and tested positive for influenza A or B, your doctor may prescribe antiviral medications Tamiflu or Relenza reduce the severity and duration of the disease. However, it has acquired 20% of the U.S. population of 2009 flu so far. Billions of dollars in lost productivity and medical expenses are from the land of plenty. At least 200,000 patients were hospitalized, and there were 36 000 deaths from influenza. What's more, now was something new for 2009 included.

The great scientists of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta to maintain close observation over> Influenza outbreaks around the world. You try and name of each of these data base of influence to try. Scientists predict that the flu season will be released in the fall. They control the pharmaceutical companies for the production of specific vaccines. If scientists flu expected to reach the button, the vaccine is effective in 70 recipients and 90% were less than 65 years. And 'less effective in patients with more than 65 recipients who live in nursing homes, chronic and personsdisease. The vaccine is about 30% to 70% effective.

The usual seasonal vaccine contains virus type A (H1N1) and A (H3N3) attenuated strain. A virus is not actually a separate entity to live, so if you weaken strong say in the vaccine "damping". A virus is probably the smallest form half-life that occurs in nature. It can be seen only with an electron microscope. It 'a parasite required. This means that there must be live "live" in another cell. E 'can only survive and replicate by the cell for the production of complex biochemical machinery for other viral entities themselves. The influenza virus has taken its RNA by a host cell to start producing. Finally, the host cell dies by its infection.Influenza viral virus have been identified and studied by scientists in 1930.

Type A viruses were the worst, and the world in general, the production of epidemics and pandemics. An epidemic is an outbreak of localInfluenza, usually every year, caused by viruses that are already in the environment. Usually peaks in three weeks, and get off after three weeks, sometimes even 50% of the population of the area.

The pandemic is a totally different phenomenon. It is a mutated virus, not the cause of human immunity. It can be spread throughout the world. Scientists have discovered that they identify type A viruses into subtypes of protein structures on their outer surface. These are called H(Haemagglutinin A) and N (neuraminidase B). There is no division of a type B viruses in a subtype, because they cause symptoms are mild and sporadic. Influenza viruses are subtyped as type C does not cause onset of milder symptoms and fewer tests. The type A virus caused the pandemic of 1917, 1957 and 1967, when millions of people had to die. The worst year for this was the 1918th

Pandemics can be caused by a viral mutation or the recurrence of a virushas not for years. All in all, missing persons, immunity against some viruses and can not fight against them. The virus in humans remain throughout the year, as they are often especially in autumn and winter. Where are they hiding and sleeping? Scientists have discovered that some species of coastal birds seem to be the reservoir for the virus. There is fairly good evidence that the birds harbor the virus without manifesting the disease and probably so for millions of years. You can seea television show, where scientists raise huge nets to catch migratory shorebirds to see what they could carry viruses. So, probably, all the "influence" is, to an extent that "bird flu" or "bird flu". It is believed that domestic ducks, which in turn has spread to chickens and pigs or infected wild ducks. Therefore, the influence is the "swine flu" influenza. If you're not in the refrigerator caught the flu from a piece of pork in your.

The current H1N1 appearshave a small population of pigs in a desolate area of Mexico has begun. The pork industry United States has recently been hit by the general public does not buy much pork. But this is not the problem. The problem seems to have immunity this lot of influence in Mexico has shown that people do not have one. The journey is what it is today, has no time for the virus spread from person to person. It has also recently announced that a group of pigs were found swine influenza in Minnesota. It seems that both pork and chicken may be the same virus as human receptors and thus have a vector for human transmission.

Some people are not always "new H1N1 (the term for the recent swine flu 2009), because they might win some immunity from previous H1N1 vaccine. Most of the people, Mexico has seen an epidemic of swine flu in thought it was too far away to affect them. But as we know, times have changed. Swine> Influenza (H1N1 Novel ") is now distributed worldwide in most of the United States and elsewhere in the. They are also in almost every news broadcast and various government agencies hold numerous press conferences to listen. The amount of daily information is enormous.

The best scientists of our time to say: "Get your flu shot if available." (Actually, they say, "Get your seasonal flu vaccination now, the new vaccine or H1N1 influenza virus, not justavailable. ") On the other hand, the" nay-sayers as bad as they said, "they say," 2009 is not affected. Do not give your children is their autism. He thimerosal or mercury in it. For my part, I'm from the CDC: Everyone should have the seasonal vaccine and the H1N1 vaccine.

One thing to remember is that the 2009 takes time to influence the immune system to respond to the vaccine '. A conservative estimate is that it takes 6-8 weeksachieve the desired effect. Therefore, the vaccine is best when it is sooner rather than later. There are two types of flu vaccine to be available to more of them are released nose. Flu-Mist is a weakened virus that is injected into your. Why is steamed, it will give you the flu and are not infectious. This is approved for use in patients aged 2 to 49.

The other is the flu vaccine, usually administered in the upper arm. The shot cansome mild symptoms such as pain at the injection site, mild fever and slight lethargy. These side effects respond to Tylenol or Motrin. None of the vaccines have the flu when the guy sitting in the desk next to swear up and down which the flu vaccine is always with him the flu. Both treatments are grown in eggs, so if you have an egg allergy, you need this plan with your doctor to discuss a strategy to prevent or injection.

We know thatPeople with compromised immune system disease even worse. During pregnancy, the immune system is not at par. Of the 100 patients, in one way or the Intensive Care Unit treatment is needed, 28 pregnant women died. For this reason, vaccination against influenza in 2009 (both types) are important to ensure that all pregnant women. There were no female has a negative effect of vaccination against influenza in every child. Others with compromised immune systems are not the flu: diabetics, people with liver or kidney disease Disease, AIDS, chronic neurological damage, cancer and / or chronic inflammatory diseases like arthritis and colitis. And the list goes on and on chronic diseases. These are the numbers of what Press the thousands of flu-related deaths and prolonged hospitalization.

And there is another very important group: children. Your immune system due simply achieved and the antibody response that healthy adults. In shear numbers, the children receive> Influence of 2 to 3 times more than adults. Therefore, we have heard tragic stories of otherwise healthy 7 or 10 years, died with the flu (there were 11 dead children in this country during the week 38 of the epidemic). This is the reason that the CDC is releasing vaccine, are directed at children, vaccination against influenza among the first to receive it.In new H1N1, 77 dissected human, fully a third had Streptococcus pneumoniae, or as it is also called,Pneumococcal pneumonia. Of course, it is treatable with antibiotics variable.

But a vaccine is tested for bacteria. E 'encapsulated protects against 23 bacterial pneumonia. E 'for all ages, with an increased risk of immune deficiency are also available. We now know that only one third of those who should have really understood. Can influenza vaccine given with. Ask your doctor: Pneumovax 23 "." The 2009 H1N1 influenza is spread by respiratory droplets.Therefore, students in classrooms and recruit in the barracks are so vulnerable. Just a cough or sneeze, and the virus is out there ready to take the next person to be withdrawn. There can be on surfaces like shopping cart handles for 2 to 6 hours ---- hands touch eyes, nose or mouth, and you are exposed. The incubation period ranges from 1 to 4 days after breathing in infected droplets of virus. E 'ironic that you are again in the greatest danger of spreading another daybefore the first show signs of disease. No wonder it is spreading!

Children can be infected by more than 10 days. A severe immune deficiency to pay a person with the virus for weeks or months. These people should be friendly to wear their masks when they are the rest of us. The symptoms of 2009 are generally acceptable enough:) Just sick (and sick, tired, chills, fever, headache, stuffy nose, sore throat, sweating with the most bodyachetogether. There are warning signs, though: A pregnant woman with influenza, productive cough (for example, with discolored sputum), chest pain, altered level of consciousness (or difficult to wake up disoriented, perhaps) that appear as gray or bluish lips who do not receive enough oxygen, excessive vomiting or signs of dehydration. If these are present, it is time to get to the doctor or the emergency room. These are signs that some potentially serious complications of flu.

MostPeople are not the symptoms seriously, but we all need for alarm. Similarly, the majority of people with the flu better within a week or two. the symptoms come on) back after a roaring start (clearing relapse, this is a danger to the alert. If in these circumstances, it could be in pain with each breath, cough with sputum look bad or hard are:. Do chills Get your doctor. Once again, children have more severe symptoms andComplications: seizures from high fevers, ear infections and pneumonia.Let 's now talk about treatment. First, do not give aspirin to a child with a fever. A serious multi-organ failure with potentially catastrophic brain injury: E 'with Reye's syndrome. You can give Tylenol (acetaminophen) every 4 hours of body weight for chills, fever, malaise and headache. Motrin (ibuprofen) every 6 hours, it seems a safe alternative. The person who should take an amount--- Liquid water, Gatorade, soups, and eat as light as possible stomach. Bed rest with lots of pimples, it is recommended to reduce the length of the disease.

The person should stay home from work or school until there was at least an entire day without Tylenol or Motrin, and without fever. But as for pregnant women, patients with chronic disease, reduced immune function of the person and very symptomatic children? These are the cases to see where the doctor andIn deciding whether to prescribe anti-viral drugs. And 'the flu can be given prophylactically to prevent persons closely exposed to the flu or reduce patient. The two antiviral drugs we use are oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and zanamivir (Relenza). Tamiflu is a tablet for adults or a liquid for children. Relenza is an inhaler. Both are every day for 10 days. They work best when administered within the first two days of symptoms. They reduce the severity ofthe symptoms of flu and shorten the course of 2009. Relenza is not a good choice for patients with asthma or chronic lung disease.

The CDC and biopharmaceutical companies have worked exhaustively to secure a flu vaccine to prepare people to prevent the serious consequences. That's it, pure and simple. There are a lot of magical, wishful thinking of the population, such as "Beat the flu", but science is not on their side. There is no, Special raw foods to prevent vitamin drops or the flu. "Flu" parties were a bad idea, given the influence immunity. It 's time to recognize that the CDC is a collection of the best minds of science and medicine, to protect the health of Americans and people around the world pandemic. It is not the IRS, Homeland Security or the CIA. It is tempting to doctors and scientists to the public good, period. It 's time to stop blowingConspiracy Horn and take your shots. Protect yourself, your family, your staff and your fellow citizens in general. So roll up your sleeves!

I was just at a press conference the other day by Dr. Ann Schuchat, director of CDC immunization. He has maintained a well-developed plans for dealing with mass vaccination in a phased manner, so that those who were most at risk, their first vaccinations. She was very open about the deaths of influence onmore precisely, the pandemic of H1N1 (swine flu, as it often called.) available and the difficulties of fighting the epidemic, and what struck me was the presence of major news organizations reporting: AP, UPI. Atlanta Journal, Washington Post, NBC and USA Today. These are questions and answers received excellent excellent. The conference lasted about 35 minutes, and if someone could, in compliance with such information as the reporting of important events and presentations,there is much less misinformation out there.

Here is the discussion about the influence in 2009:

. 1) Get your seasonal flu vaccine, either shot or nasal spray;
. 2) Get your new H1N1 (swine flu vaccine), if available;
3) If you are pregnant or a chronic illness, be sure to get both.
. 4) Ensure that children are vaccinated;
5 consult your doctor.) If you have a serious relapse or the flu -;
6) If the warning signsserious illness - consult your doctor;
. 7) Wear a mask when you are ill or severely immunocompromised;
8) It takes about a week to overcome the flu. Not back to work or school until they have fever for at least 48 hours, drink plenty of fluids, take Tylenol or Motrin for fever and bed rest as possible. I can not give other over-the-counter medications to children without consulting a doctor, do not give aspirin for fever, due to Reye's syndrome;
9.)Learn as much influence as possible from reliable sources;
10) There is no magical influence or material treatments out there - you can rely on science and a doctor to get through this time.
