richard preston ebola :: Article Creator What's Keeping Scientists From Vanquishing Ebola? This story appears in the May 2019 issue of National Geographic magazine. In the 25 years since my book The Hot Zone traced the emergence of extremely lethal viruses, one of them has proved to be the most destructive: Ebola. At this writing, Ebola has killed hundreds in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the second largest outbreak since the virus was identified in 1976. The largest—from 2014 to 2016 in three West African nations—resulted in almost 30,000 cases, nearly half of them fatal. Fierce international efforts helped quell Ebola that time, but there are no assurances that the virus (above) has ended its assaults on the human species. Ebola is hard to arrest for many complicated reasons (below). But scientists keep trying—and what they learn will equip us to face this virus, and possibly worse, in the future. 1. The vaccine's requireme

polio like illness outbreak :: Article Creator Major Measles Outbreak Erupts In England As Vaccine Hesitancy Increases Child with measles. getty In England, the Birmingham Children's Hospital is currently grappling with a major outbreak of measles. More than 50 children have been hospitalized in the past month. Vaccine-preventable diseases such as measles and polio remain a public health threat. And with childhood vaccine hesitancy—or simply outright refusal—on the rise in the U.K., U.S. And Europe, the problem is likely to worsen. The measles outbreaks in the U.S., including most recently in Philadelphia, are worrisome. But the situation appears to be more severe in England. There, cases have been surging. According to new figures released by the U.K. Health Security Agency there were 1,603 suspected cases of measles in 2023, which represents an increase from 735 in 2022 and 360 in 2021. The spike in cases is fueled by vaccine

fatty liver :: Article Creator Fatty Liver Diet Tips: A Guide To The Best And Worst Foods To Eat It's possible to reverse or prevent fatty liver disease through lifestyle changes. Healthy eating, alongside the introduction of regular physical activity, is key, as is weight loss among those who have overweight or obesity, according to Norah Terrault, M.D., the chief of gastroenterology and hepatology at Keck Medical Center of USC and the president of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases. Evidence shows that healthy eating plans like the Mediterranean diet—a largely plant-based diet that incorporates healthy fats—can have a positive effect on fatty liver disease, though research hasn't identified one particular diet proven to be the most effective . Alongside the Mediterranean diet, other diet plans that a doctor, nutritionist or dietitian may recommend include a low-glycemic diet, a low-carb diet or a pre-diabetes diet,

tuberculosis causes :: Article Creator Remodeling The Immune System To Fight Tuberculosis Tuberculosis, caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) kills upwards of 1.6 million people a year, making it one of the leading causes of death by an infectious agent worldwide -- and that number is only growing larger. How, exactly, Mtb evades the immune system isn't yet known, but a collaborative team of researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Seattle Children's Research Institute recently discovered something surprising: prior exposure to a genus of bacteria called Mycobacterium seems to remodel the first-line defenders in the body's immune system. Furthermore, how those cells are remodeled depends on exactly how the body is exposed. These results, published recently in PLOS Pathogens, suggest that a more integrated treatment approach that targets all aspects of the immune response could be a more effective stra

legionnaires disease outbreak 1976 :: Article Creator Second Death In Legionnaire's Outbreak A second person has died of Legionnaires' disease following an outbreak in Cumbria, health officials said today. A woman aged in her 50s died overnight becoming the second victim of the disease which has already infected more than a hundred others. Last night 23 patients were in intensive care with two giving doctors cause for concern. It was not known whether the second victim of the disease was one of those two seriously ill. An 88-year-old great-grandfather died a week ago after contracting the disease following months of failing health. Pensioner Richard Macaulay, who was known as Gerry, became the outbreak's first victim last Friday. The bug, a form of pneumonia, is carried on tiny water droplets and is more dangerous among those with poor immune systems, such as the elderly or the very young. So far, a total of 110 people have been confirmed
