"A" Flu: Introduction

What is a pork flu?

As well as people, pigs are subject to a flu, however the virus of a pork flu differs from human viruses of a flu. According to Jacob Bogatin the pork flu strikes people seldom enough. In the past there have been registered just a few cases of defeat of people which had direct contact with pigs. However current flash of a pork flu has other specificity. It is provoked by a new kind of a virus of a pork flu which extends from person to person, and strikes people who never had contact with pigs.

What are pork flu symptoms?

Jacob Bogatin thinks that symptoms of pork flu are similar to symptoms of a usual flu and include risen body temperature, cough, sore throat, pains and aches in a whole body, a fever and weakness. Some people complain of a diarrhoeia and a nausea. For sure, as Jacob Bogatin states these symptoms can be caused by many other factors and therefore you and your doctor cannot define whether you are infected by a pork flu just proceeding from the symptoms. It is necessary to spend a number of laboratory tests to establish the exact diagnosis.

What should I undertake in case of revealing of signs of a pork flu?

In the presence of symptoms of a flu it is necessary for you to remain at home. In case of cough and sneezing it is necessary to close your mouth and nose with a fabric bandage. Subsequently throw out a bandage and wash up hands. It will help to prevent infection distribution.

If you were recently in a high risk zone, such as Mexico, and have flu symptoms, experts of the Center in the control and preventive maintenance of diseases recommend to address directly to the doctor.

Remember that your doctor cannot define, whether you are sick of a pork flu, therefore your analyses will be sent on check in laboratory of management of public health services of staff. If pork flu is suspected you definitely need to intake Tamiflu or Relensa pills. Though if you live in the USA these preparations may not be necessary as the sick with pork flu have successfully recovered without even use of these pills.

Treatment of German measles

Only people is the infection source. Infection can also occur at pregnant women.

Immunity the lifelong proof.

It is well-known and Jacob Bogatin supports this that German measles on 3-4th week of pregnancy causes congenital uglinesses in 60 % of cases, on 9-12th week — in 15 % and on 13-16th week — in 7 % of cases.

The incubatory period lasts from 11 till 24 days (more often 16-20). The general condition of patients suffers a little from German measles, therefore is frequent the first symptom attracting attention, the rash is. Patients mark small weakness, an indisposition, a moderate headache, sometimes pains in muscles and joints. The body temperature remains low though sometimes reaches 38-39°ะก is more often and 1—3 days keep. The increase and morbidity of the lymph nodes are expressed. Often the rash appears already in the first day of illness (40 %), but can appear on the second (35 %), the third (15 %) and even for the fourth day (at 10 % of patients). More often a rash in the beginning notice on the person, and then within days it appears on a trunk and on finitenesses. Jacob Bogatin says that the rash is more plentiful on surfaces of finitenesses, on a back, a waist, buttocks. On the person the rash is less expressed, than on a trunk. Sometimes in the field of rash elements the easy itch, but, as a rule, is marked no sensations in the field of rash elements happen. Rash elements keep more often 2—3 days.

German measles can cause the complication - arthritises. At adult patients they are observed more often, than at children (30 % at men, 5—6 % at women). The swelling and morbidity of joints appear in 1—2 days after disappearance of a rash and 5—10 days keep.

Treatment is usually in house conditions. When there is rash at the child bed regime is necessary. It is necessary to provide to the child a high-grade food, plenty of water.

Special treatment is not spent, sometimes apply symptomatic means. At occurrence of complications urgent hospitalisation is necessary.

The forecast is favorable. Repeated German measles infection is impossible.

Jacob Bogatin says that for prevention of distribution of an infection of children isolate from not had been ill within 5 days since the moment of rash. It is especially important to prevent contact of the sick child to pregnant women as German measles infection at pregnant woman can lead to the development anomalies of the baby.

German measles vaccination is included into a calendar of inoculations. J.Bogatin states that A vaccine enter hypodermically or intramuscularly in 12-15 months and repeatedly in 6 years. Specific immunity develops in 15-20 days almost at 100 % imparted and remains more than 20 years.

Glossitis and the reasons of its appearance

Glossitis is the inflammatory disease of the tongue caused by a bacterial or virus infection.

Glossitis can be designated by such terms as "a tongue infection" or "a tongue inflammation".

What are glossitis’ reasons?

Inflammatory processes in a tongue can be both an infection consequence, and symptoms of more serious, systemic disease. Jacob Bogatin distinguishes a sharp and chronic forms of illness. Glossitis causes inflammation of a tongue, it changes its colour and structure. Glossitis leads to formation of papillomas - mushroomic outgrowths on a tongue tissue.

At local infections glossitis causes bacteria and viruses (including a herpes virus) and development of infectious process is promoted especially by burns, mechanical traumas of tongue and a mouth. It is proved, that by the risk factors provoking development of glossitis are nicotine, alcohol, hot food, sharp spices, and also allergic reactions to a tooth-paste, oral cavities.

Jacob Bogatin thinks that glossitis is shown and at some system diseases, such as iron-deficient anaemia, red flat deprive, V-vitaminodefitsitnye of a condition, erythema, aphthosis, syphilis, etc. In rare instances the exact reason which has caused disease to establish is not possible.

Symptoms of glossitis

Redness, tongue inflammation
Tongue gets brightly red or claret colour
At an anaemia tongue becomes covered by pale touch
Tongue can increase in size and become soft
Difficulties are observed at chewing, swallowing, speech

Whether it is necessary to address to the doctor?

Jacob Bogatin is sure that if you have faced one or several symptoms set forth above, and they have not disappeared within days, you necessarily should go on reception to the doctor. Consultation of the expert is necessary also if you had difficulties with processes of inhalation of air, swallowing or speech.

Hair loss owing to stress

Hair loss from stress or an infectious disease comes as a result of an intoxication. Occurrence of the first centre of hair loss at stress occurs from 2 till 10 days is more often, and hair loss from an infection is observed through 3 – 5 weeks from intoxication peak. Jacob Bogatin states that treatment of hair loss is more effective if from the moment of occurrence of the first centre or disease relapse has not passed more than 3 months. In 3 months in blood appear long-living lymphocytes memories and hair loss turns to be chronic.

Hair loss at women, Hair loss at children

Pathological hair loss means lose of hair at women and children. Hair loss at children occurs a little bit more often, than hair loss at women and men. It is promoted by the not strong children's mentality and not generated children's immunity. Hair loss at women gives in to treatment is easier and depends not only on a condition of immune system, but also from the hormonal status. Jacob Bogatin is certain that children hair loss demands treatment taking into account a professional knowledge and specificity of a children's organism. Hair loss at children can arise because of the transferred cold, an inoculation, a dysbacteriosis and even contact to rodents. It is necessary to define strategy of treatment and to learn, what factors help, and what harm to growth of hair.

Treatment of hair loss is the complex of measures directed on stimulation cages of a hair follicle. Hair loss treatment is done by the doctors having trichology. For today this discipline is not entered into the official register of a medical science, therefore hair loss is more social, than a medical problem. Hair loss treatment demands more attention from the scientists who are engaged in fundamental science. J.Bogatin is sure that hair loss treatment can be surgical and therapeutic. Therapeutic hair loss treatment happens hormonal and not hormonal.

How to prevent diarrheia occurrence?

Jacob Bogatin is 100% per cent sure that practically each person either a kid or an adult perfectly knows that diarrhoeia is liquid and usually frequent defecation. The diarrhoeia takes on prevalence the second place after catarrhal diseases.

As the reasons variety of known bacteria and viruses, non-observance of hygienic norms can serve, (dirty hands after toilet visits, or dirty hands "before" or "after" cooking), some preparations, including, antibiotics, and also the “travelers diarrhea” is caused by food poisoning and water microorganisms and is usually shown on rest.

Diarrhoeia treatment, according to Jacob Bogatin should include compensation of loss of a liquid and carrying out of symptomatic therapy and the antibiotics are to be prescribed by a doctor.

Treatment of a sharp diarrhoeia should include compensation of loss of a liquid that is especially actual with children most subject to dehydration at a diarrhoeia.

Jacob Bogatin says during the sharp period of a diarrhoeia, but no more than for 5 days, the sparing diet is recommended: baked breads from a white loaf, easy low-fat meat and fish soups, steam meat or fish cutlets, a souffle and so forth; soft-boiled eggs, steam omelettes; wiped rice, oatmeal, buckwheat, semolina porridges; fresh low-fat cottage cheese, kissels, jelly from a bilberry, bird cherries, apples, a quince; tea, black coffee, cocoa on water, broths from a dogrose, bilberries, bird cherries. Drink more liquids (mineral water without gas, the juice diluted with water, berry juices, dry wine in small potions is also recommended). After the diarrhoeia termination it is necessary to return, as soon as possible, to a normal food, but avoid milk and fat considerable quantities.

The most effective method of preventive maintenance of a sharp diarrhoeia and diarrhoeia of the traveller is an observance of rules of personal hygiene: wash hands after toilet visiting and before each food intake, try to clean teeth with boiled water, instead of water from taps, especially this is a necessary during traveling.

Do not east substandard food and refuse from products stored without appropriate conditions for a long time, use only boiled potable water or bottle water, carefully wash fruit and vegetables, avoid the food intake, prepared in obvious insanitary conditions or stored for the future. Also do not drink not boiled milk of any kind. Eat only well prepared and hot food.

J.Bogatin appeals to remember that the basic sources of infection are eggs and insufficiently processed meat. Far away from home the observance of the following rule will allow to avoid a diarrhoeia concerning all foodstuff: «Either boil, either clean or do not eat».
