No cases of monkeypox infection have been registered in Armenia. Hripsime Khachatryan 2024-04-09 03:52:24
Hripsime Khachatryan, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Health, declares that no cases of monkeypox infection have been registered in the Republic of Armenia.
“I call on individual users not to spread misinformation through Telegram channels,” he said.
According to the Ministry, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), in the last few weeks, around 80 cases of monkeypox have been reported in at least 12 countries, and another 50 suspected cases are being investigated. Cases of the disease have been confirmed in nine European countries (Great Britain, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Sweden), as well as in the USA, Canada and Australia. So far, cases of the disease have been reported in African countries or linked to travel to those countries.
It should be noted that monkeypox is a rare disease of viral origin transmitted from animals to humans, which is mainly recorded in remote regions of Central and West Africa. The virus is transmitted to humans mainly from wild animals, such as rodents and primates (chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, etc.).
Monkeypox virus (Orthopoxvirus) is similar to natural poxvirus.
Infection from animals occurs as a result of direct contact with animal (infected) blood,

Harmonie Mutuelle, in partnership with Générations Sud Lot, the town halls and seniors’ clubs of Barguelonne-en-Quercy and Lendou-en-Quercy, are organizing this spring a coordinated program of six prevention workshops dedicated to people over 55 on different themes, every Thursday and Friday from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m., starting April 18 (Thursday in Bagat-en-Quercy, Friday in Saint-Cyprien).
On April 18 and 19, the theme proposed is boarding for the passport and the presentation of the ICOPE program which aims to delay dependence by early identification of factors of fragility among seniors. On April 25 and 26 we will talk about memory, which is sometimes failing among the elderly. The more memory is used, the better it can be preserved and cultivated in the long term. A fun theater workshop with sketches, exercises and mnemonic tips is set up. May 16 and 31 are dedicated to sleep, essential for our physical and mental balance. A psychologist will lead this workshop, providing the knowledge and information necessary to understand how sleep works. She will explain the favorable behaviors to adopt for good sleep, and thus learn to put an end to insomnia. She will provide practical advice as well as relaxation and breathing techniques to manage difficult nights.

The tiger mosquito is advancing in Belgium
dossier
The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is a mosquito that originates from Southeast Asia, but is increasingly appearing in our country. A sting can be dangerous because a tiger mosquito can transmit viruses such as chikungunya, dengue (dengue fever), westnijlvirus in zika.

Tiger mosquito in Belgium
Tiger mosquitoes lay eggs in layers of water, between plants and, for example, in old car tires. The tiger mosquito has ended up in all parts of the world through trade, including Southern Europe. Partly due to global warming, it is on the rise towards the north of Europe. It is not (yet) established in Belgium, but it is already established in our neighboring countries. “Early detection is necessary to delay its establishment in Belgium and thus prevent the outbreak of mosquito-borne diseases,” says Sciensano. Anyone who spots a tiger mosquito is asked to report it via the website muggensurveillance.beor via the mobile application.
In addition, you can slow the advance of the tiger mosquito by thoroughly cleaning rain barrels,

New Research Reveals the Benefits of Using Salt Substitutes: Lowered Risk of Death and Improved Heart Health
Reducing Salt Intake: A Path to a Healthier Lifestyle
It is no secret that our dietary choices play a significant role in our overall health and well-being. Our relationship with food impacts various aspects of our lives, including our risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. Recent research published in the Annals of Internal Medicine emphasizes the benefits of reducing salt intake and highlights how using salt substitutes can contribute to a longer, healthier life.
In this systematic review, researchers analyzed 16 randomized controlled trials involving over 35,000 participants with an elevated risk for cardiovascular disease. The study found that substituting common salt – which primarily consists of sodium chloride – with a salt substitute containing potassium chloride and reduced levels of sodium chloride may lead to a lower risk of premature death from any cause or cardiovascular disease.
This groundbreaking study challenges previous assumptions by providing long-term evidence on the effectiveness of salt substitutions over a span of up to 10 years. According to Dr. Loai Albarqouni, senior author and assistant professor at Bond University’s Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare in Australia: “Previous synthesis tended to focus on short-term outcomes, lasting only two weeks.”

Using a salt substitute could lower your risk of dying early according to new research.
The Evolution of Stars: From Red Giant to White Dwarf
2. Will Turn into a Red Giant
The first stage in the evolution of a star is its transformation into a red giant star. This is because the heat produced by the sun through the nuclear fusion of hydrogen into helium creates pressure that is able to balance its own gravitational force.
When the sun has used up all the hydrogen content, this balance will be disturbed. The superior gravitational force when nuclear fusion stops will begin to pull and compress the sun.
This causes the sun to heat up again, so that it can repeat nuclear fusion with only a small amount of hydrogen remaining in the star’s atmosphere. This process will make the outer layers swell and turn the sun into a red giant star.
Its size is so large that it even exceeds Earth’s orbit.
3. Nebula Planets
The Sun was very unstable when it became a red giant and will continue to lose mass. This continues and ends when the sun exhales and removes the outer layer.
Meanwhile, the core of the star will remain intact and become a white dwarf. The star will be surrounded by a gaseous envelope called a planetary nebula.

If you spend a lot of time in front of the computer, there is a possibility that this translates into a higher risk of erectile dysfunction Computer use seems linked to this condition
Nowadays a sedentary life is not strange. On many occasions we spend hours in front of the computer because we need it to work and then in our free time because we want to play a video game or watch movies quietly. This leads us to a sedentary lifestyle that could now be linked to erectile dysfunction in men. A quite worrying phenomenon and one that a new study would have linked to the fact that we spend a lot of time still in the same positions as always and, especially, to the use of the computer for recreational use and for regular use.
Let’s see what the problems rooted in this could be and how it would add to other types of problems such as the effect of screens on our eyes.
The dangers of a sedentary lifestyle
In the future, people may have screens directly in their eyes, but in the meantime, the amount of time we could spend in front of a computer remains a big problem.
The Dangers of the Oatzempic Diet: A Fad or Weight Loss Solution?
Capture from X (old Twitter).
A diet method called “Oatzempic” is becoming a hot topic online. Mix oatmeal made by toasting or steaming oats with water, add lime juice and drink it as a drink. It was developed for diabetes, but is as effective in weight loss as Ozempic, which is popular as a dietary treatment, and a new word has been coined combining oats and Ozempic.
Several TikTok users claim that this drink can help you lose up to 18kg in just two months. You can easily see online people who have participated in the “30 Day Oat Zempic Challenge”, which involves drinking half a cup of oatmeal, a cup of water, half a lime (juice), and an adequate amount of cinnamon mixed for 30 days to see the weight loss effect.
One cup of “mixed oat drink” contains 140 calories, which is less than 200 to 700 calories per meal.
However, experts stress that we should be wary of any fad that promises quick weight loss.
Lisa Valente, a nutritionist and nutrition editor of Healthline, an American health and medical media outlet, criticizes it as “a fad with no real benefit.”
