Vaccines for all are humanly possible
#Vaccines #humanly
Did you know that there was a bond between you and a person you didn’t know and had never met? However, this person lives on the other side of the world, in a place where you have never been.
Like you, this person was vaccinated during childhood. So you have in common one of humanity’s greatest achievements: vaccination.
In just 50 years, vaccines have saved an estimated 154 million lives. That’s six people saved every minute over the past five decades.
Governments, aid agencies and thousands of people – scientists, health workers, diplomats and volunteers – have brought us to where we are today – a world in which smallpox is nothing more than a bad memory, a world on the verge of eradicating polio and a world in which never before have so many children reached their fifth birthday. And while you probably don’t remember the exact moment you got vaccinated, that achievement is yours too. Indeed, by being vaccinated, you help protect others, just as they help protect you.
Today we need your help again. Indeed, while vaccination needs urgent funding In 2024, we call on all governments around the world to prioritize investments in vaccination.
Systemic sclerosis, this is how patients die: The drug is cheap, no one produces it
Woman in Serious Condition at Rome Biomedical Campus Polyclinic
A woman in her sixties is fighting for her life at the Rome Biomedical Campus polyclinic after being in intensive care for a month. She is in very serious condition following a renal crisis with vascular complications, all stemming from the rare autoimmune disease systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma.
Systemic sclerosis is a debilitating condition characterized by fibrosis and vascular abnormalities of the skin, joints, and internal organs. The disease can cause hardening and tightening of the skin, as well as damage to internal organs such as the kidneys, lungs, and heart.
The woman’s specific case has presented a particularly challenging set of complications, leading to her current critical state. The medical team at the polyclinic is working tirelessly to stabilize her condition and provide the necessary treatment to support her recovery.
The severity of systemic sclerosis and its potential complications highlight the importance of early detection and proactive management of autoimmune diseases. Patients with autoimmune conditions often require specialized care and close monitoring to prevent serious health crises.
As the woman continues her battle with systemic sclerosis at the Rome Biomedical Campus polyclinic,
Federal Regulators Confirm Presence of Bird Flu Virus in Pasteurized Milk, Assure Consumers of Safety
Finding Viral Fragments in Pasteurized Milk Raises Concerns About Widespread Outbreak
Recent findings of inactive remnants of the bird flu virus in samples of pasteurized milk have sparked concerns about the potential widespread outbreak among dairy herds in the United States. While officials have reassured consumers that these viral fragments do not pose a threat, experts argue that further investigation and testing are necessary to better understand the extent of the problem.
Federal Response Criticized for Slow Data Sharing and Testing
Scientists have criticized the Agriculture Department for being slow to share important data and not adequately pursuing cattle testing for infection. The lack of information regarding how many samples tested positive or their sources is a cause for concern as it could indicate a more extensive outbreak than initially believed.
“If the fragments are present in many samples throughout the commercial milk supply, it would suggest that the outbreak is likely to be far more widespread than has been believed,” state experts familiar with ongoing federal reviews.
Pasteurization Process Reduces Risk to Consumers
Although finding viral fragments in milk from the commercial supply chain is less than ideal, experts emphasize that pasteurization effectively reduces any risk posed by genetic material remains.
Measles, whooping cough and other preventable diseases: a week to remember the importance of vaccines
Imagine a future without cervical cancer, a future without polio, measles or malaria. Is it humanly possible? Yes, bringing vaccinations to everyone. With the slogan #HumanlyPossibleWorld Immunization Week 2024 begins, held from 24 to 30 April, promoted by the WHO (World Health Organization), Unicef, Gavi – the Vaccine Alliance and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This year is particularly significant because we are celebrating fifty years of the Expanded Immunization Programme, the initiative launched by the WHO in 1974. A precious opportunity to remind families and the community of the effectiveness of vaccines and encourage people to act to ensure that more children and adults are immunized against preventable diseases.

An achievement of humanity
Over the last 50 years, vaccines have saved over 150 million lives, one every ten seconds. Thanks to the Expanded Program on Immunization, governments, humanitarian agencies and health workers have achieved one of humanity’s greatest achievements: a world in which we have eradicated smallpox and nearly eradicated polio, in which more children than ever before in history they can live beyond their early years,
The evolutionarily newest part of the human brain is more peculiar than believed
The neocortex, a structure essential for human intelligence, is less than five millimeters thick. There, in the outermost layer of the brain, 20 billion neurons process countless sensory perceptions, plan actions, and form the basis of our consciousness. How do these neurons process all this complex information? That largely depends on how they are connected to each other.
What was known until now about the neuronal architecture of the human neocortex was based mainly on findings made from studying animal models such as mice.
The human neocortex is much thicker and more complex than that of the mouse. However, the scientific community had until now assumed (partly due to lack of data) that it followed the same basic principles of connectivity.
Now, in a new study, for which cutting-edge technology and exceptionally difficult to obtain tissue samples have been used, it has been proven that, contrary to what was assumed until now, the nerve cells of the human neocortex are very connected. different from those of mice.
The study was carried out by a team including, among others, Yangfan Peng and Jörg Geiger, from the Neuroscience Research Center, attached to the Charité University Hospital in Berlin,

How to use sunscreen
1 NICKNAME Eoljangbaek
Q How much sunscreen should I apply?
Surprisingly, many people use too little sunscreen. The appropriate amount is approximately 800 mg based on the size of a typical female face. You can squeeze it down to the size of a 500 won coin. That’s a larger amount than you might think. There is no need to use more.
2 NICKNAME Dal-i
Q There are various types of sunscreens, including inorganic and organic sunscreens, but it is very difficult to know exactly which product to use.
Inorganic sunscreen (physical sunscreen) tends to leave a white cast, but is used on children with delicate skin and those with sensitive or problem skin. Organic sunscreen (chemical sunscreen) has a slight white cast and is easy to apply, but can potentially cause skin problems or allergies, so it is suitable for use when skin is healthy.
3 NICKNAME The gums are weak
Q I’m worried that pigmentation may occur on my peeling skin. But should you apply sunscreen to wounds too?

Natural juice that counteracts the signs of aging
Maintaining a healthy diet becomes necessary to have a good quality of life and aspire to a similar old age.
In this framework, the skin is one of the most exposed organs, which begins to wear out over the years and offers the most visible signs of aging.
Some foods, in addition to certain preventive habits, take the lead when it comes to taking care of our skin.
A natural and beneficial juice
The Mayo Clinic Institute points out that wrinkles are a natural part of aging that result in lines and folds that form on the skin. Exposure to the sun, pollution and smoking also accelerate the aging process, but diet must not be left aside.
There are some fruits and vegetables that stand out in this area and allow us to take care of our skin since they contribute to the production of collagen, a protein that is responsible for connecting tissues and giving the skin tension and vitality. These foods contain certain components that when ingested collaborate in a significant way.
