Avian flu, possible transmission between cows confirmed in the USA Health and Wellbeing
(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 22 – The American Department of Agriculture has confirmed that “cow-to-cow transmission of the avian flu virus is a factor” that is contributing to the avian flu epidemic among cows in the USA, “even if It’s unclear exactly how the virus is moving.”
“We know that the virus is spread in milk at high concentrations; therefore, anything that comes into contact with unpasteurized milk, spilled milk, etc. can spread the virus,” writes the US body in the latest FAQ update on the situation of the avian flu A/H5N1. On the contrary, “to date, we have not found significant concentrations of virus in samples from the respiratory tract, which indicates to us that respiratory transmission is not a primary means of transmission.”
Furthermore, the virus, after having arrived in cows from infected birds and having spread among cattle, could also have followed the opposite path: “we have evidence that the virus has spread from dairy cattle farms to nearby poultry farms”, it can still be read in the document. Furthermore, among the animals infected on farms there are also cats, report the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, according to which the risk for the general population continues to remain low.

The best time for breakfast
Did you know that when you eat breakfast can have a significant impact on your metabolism? You should eat as soon as possible after waking up to boost your metabolism and increase energy expenditure for the day. The German Society for Nutrition (DGE) recommends within the first two hours of waking up to have breakfast.
At least plan 15 minutes to have breakfast in peace and mentally prepare yourself for the day. The start of the day often shapes the rest of the day. If you rush out of the house and hastily gulp down something along the way, you probably won’t have a more relaxed experience for the rest of the day. Take time for your breakfast. Sit in peace, enjoy yours Coffee or Tee and give yourself time for a balanced meal.
Early screening for spinal muscular atrophy helps children
An international study involving numerous Austrian clinics has now shown that the diagnosis immediately after birth is crucial. Around 50 percent more of the children affected go to learn. “There is increasing evidence that early diagnosis and treatment are fundamental for the further development of young children with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Newborn screening programs have been established to detect the disease before symptoms appear. So far there have been “But there are still no controlled studies that prove the benefits of such programs,” wrote the international team of scientists with authors from almost 40 specialized clinics, primarily in Germany and Austria.
Muscle weakness, muscle wasting and symptoms of paralysis
The study compared the development of children with SMA who were diagnosed as newborns or only when symptoms appeared – this is primarily a failure to develop healthy motor skills (sitting, walking). The cause of spinal muscular atrophy is a loss or mutation of the so-called SMN1 gene. This gene is the blueprint for the protein called “Survival of Motor Neuron” – SMN for short. SMN is crucial for the functioning of muscles. If the protein is produced too little or incorrectly, the nerve cells that control the muscles are increasingly damaged and lost.
Penn State Study Reveals Surprising Findings on Caloric Restriction and Telomere Loss, Shedding Light on Aging Process
The Complex Relationship Between Caloric Restriction and Telomeres in Aging
Penn State researchers have delved deeper into the intricate connection between diet and aging, specifically focusing on the effects of caloric restriction on telomeres. The study conducted by the College of Health and Human Development has shed light on how different rates of telomere loss can be observed in individuals who restrict their calories compared to those who do not.
The findings, published in the scientific journal Aging Cell, highlight that although both groups ultimately had telomeres of similar lengths at the end of the study, their paths towards it were distinct. Previous studies have demonstrated that a reduction in calorie intake by 20% to 60% can extend lifespans among various animal species.
Telomeres: Guardians of Cellular Aging
Telomeres play a crucial role in aging. They are segments found at the ends of chromosomes that shield genetic bases like protective caps. Every time cells replicate throughout a person’s life, some telomeres are lost during chromosomal duplication. As this happens repeatedly over time, telomere length decreases until they eventually disappear entirely. When this occurs, chromosomes become susceptible to damage, leading to hindered cell function or reproduction.

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever Outbreak in South Sulawesi: 9 Deaths Reported in 2024
Makassar – South Sulawesi Health Service (Sulsel) (Dinkes) recorded that 9 people died as a result of the attack dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) in 2024. The victims experienced a reduction in platelets and even bleeding.
“Dengue fever can cause death if platelets decrease, bleeding and shock,” South Sulawesi Health Service Chief Ishaq Iskandar told detikSulselMonday (22/4/2024).
Ishaq said that if the platelet count is too low, it will make it difficult for the body to expel viruses in the body. He hopes that residents with these symptoms will report immediately to receive treatment from a doctor.
“This symptom should not be taken lightly because if severe it can damage blood vessels and lymph nodes, vomit blood, bleed from the gums and nose, shortness of breath, and stomach pain due to inflammation of the liver,” he said. said.
He admitted that he had encouraged cross-departmental cooperation involving sub-district heads, sub-district heads, village heads, religious and community leaders, as well as educational institutions to prevent dengue fever and its treatment. They are expected to mobilize the community to eliminate mosquito nests (PSN).
“Educate the public about the importance of eliminating mosquito nests in an effort to prevent the growth of mosquitoes that cause the spread of dengue fever.
Understanding the epidemiology of RSV in adults is crucial for vaccination
Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) continues to be a public health challenge, especially in vulnerable populations such as older adults. As an enveloped negative single-stranded RNA virus, RSV has two large antigenic subgroups, A and B, which circulate during autumn and winter, with December being its period of maximum activity in Europe. Infection with this virus can be especially severe in older adults, with a propensity for longer viral shedding and a higher rate of complications compared to younger adults.. Comorbidities, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or congestive heart failure, significantly increase the risk of serious RSV infections, further exacerbating the burden on the healthcare system.
Surveillance and prevention
To address this challenge, new surveillance and prevention strategies have been implemented. The Acute Respiratory Infection Surveillance System (SiVIRA) in Spain has adapted its approach to include not only influenza and COVID-19, but also RSVallowing a better understanding of the burden of the disease and facilitating early interventions.
A crucial aspect in the prevention of serious RSV complications in adults is vaccination. Recently, two vaccines have been approved by the Spanish Agency for Medicines and Health Products (AEMPS): Arexvy and Abrysvo. The first vaccine features recombinant RSV F glycoprotein along with AS01E adjuvant,

How to complain to a doctor: Step by step against a botched procedure
Even if the result did not meet expectations, it is not possible to complain about every medical procedure. “The most important thing is not to neglect the recommended care after performing a medical procedure, i.e. follow the recommended treatment procedures, diet, dosage of medication, etc.,” advises lawyer Tomáš Smolík from DAS legal protection. But if you follow all the recommendations and complications still occur, it may be the doctor’s fault.
Solve the dropped seal
You can also deal with a dropped filling, because the dentist is responsible for making it correctly. So contact him directly first. If you have lost trust in him, you can go to another doctor and solve the problem with him.
“If it is sufficiently proven that the previous doctor made a mistake and the repair of the dental filling will be necessary due to the poor quality of the previous doctor, he should reimburse the patient for all the costs reasonably incurred by the patient in connection with this repair,” says the lawyer.
