PostHeaderIcon Death toll of H1N1 reaches 4,000 in the US

11/12/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


In a recent estimate by the Center of Disease Control, H1N1 flu claimed the lives of 4,000 people since the disease spread to the United States in April. The number was more than the 1,000 that was previously reported. The rise in mortality was explained by adding the deaths caused by flu complications such as pneumonia and other infections.

So far about 40,000 people stricken with the H1N1 virus have been treated in hospitals. Authorities believe that the swine flu will not cause deaths more than the ordinary seasonal flu which kills about 36,000 people in the US yearly. The World Health Organization has placed the death toll of H1N1 pandemic to 6,000 across the continents.

The vaccine for H1N1 is now available and being administered to vulnerable individuals including those with pre-existing medical condition such as asthma, end stage renal disease, diabetes, those undergoing chemotherapy and immunosuppression. (Photo Credit: Amadaruth) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Woldwide, a million suicides per year says United Nations

9/14/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


The World Health Organization (WHO) reveals that about a million people die of suicide each year around the globe. The count puts killing oneself as frequent as one in every 40 seconds. In the last half a century, the rate of suicide has increased to 60% and the trend is likely to go up, putting the number to about 1.5
million annually by the year 2020---that will be a staggering 33% increase in a matter of about 10 years.

According to mental health experts, the risk factors in suicide vary across different cultures. Accounting for about half of all violent deaths, suicide is more common in men although more women are likely to attempt killing themselves without being successful. A quarter of suicide victims are young adults below the age of 25 years.

“The WHO report says most suicides in occur in Asia, which accounts for up to 60 percent of all cases. But it reports Eastern European countries have the highest rates of suicide. The lowest rates are found in the countries of Mediterranean Europe and the predominantly Catholic countries of Latin America and Asia, as well as in Muslim countries, such as Pakistan.’---VOA (09/10/09, Schlein, L.)

The rise in suicide may reflect the increase in the “stressors” that operate in modern life. A reduction of suicide may be achieved by education, identifying and treating mental illnesses, and recognizing the early signs of suicide among individuals. (Photo Credit: campinocastillejo) =0=

PostHeaderIcon H1N1 influenza death toll doubles in RP

9/07/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


After the Department of Health (DOH) halted its daily update of the H1N1 pandemic in the country, the government agency reported that the August death toll doubled to 28 from July’s mortality of 13. Those who died were part of the 4,548 reported cases of swine flu documented in the country of which 4,369 fully recovered.

Morbidity & Mortality of H1N1, European Center for Disease Control Data

Worldwide, infected, 254,206 as 08/30/09
Worldwide, deaths 3,315 (ECDC)
Southeast Asia, 262
Thailand, 130
Malaysia, 73
the Philippines, 28
Singapore, 17
Indonesia, 10
Vietnam, two
Brunei, 1
Laos, 1

As the pandemic spreads and persists worldwide, the focus is to rush the flu vaccine which is expected to be ready by October. Health authorities predict a surge of the swine influenza during fall and winter seasons needing preventive measures to control its spread. The easily transmissibe virus has the potential of infecting 2 billon people worldwide.

The vaccination makes the public leery over the potential side effects of the vaccination such as Guillain Barre Syndrome which is more fatal than the H1N1 or the usual flu infection. It is unclear if this vaccination being readied will offer enugh efficacy and protection as desired.

Many health workers believe vaccination is important in preventing morbidity and mortality among vulnerable population groups, particularly the young, the elderly. the immunosuppressed, diabetes and dialysis patients, and those suffering from chronic diseases. (Photo Credit: Benedicti Desrus) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Dengue death toll in Cagayan Valley rises to 21

7/26/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


Lending proof that Dengue, a hemorrhagic viral illness is deadlier than the H1N1 flu, the Department of Health in its regional office in Tuguegarao City reported 21 deaths of Dengue since the onset of the year. The mosquito-borne disease which surges during the rainy season in endemic areas such as the Philippines, has infected at least 546 people. The latest mortality are two boys with ages 3 and 8 who died in the town of Ramon.

“Several villages in Ramon, meanwhile, had been observed to have rising dengue cases, among them Barangays Ambatali, Bugallon Norte, Bugallon proper and Raniag.

Already hitting 14 percent more than the number of cases last year, dengue has been most monitored in the provinces of Isabela (including Santiago City) and Cagayan, the regional health office in Tuguegarao City said.” ----Daily Tribune (07/26/09, Boehnert, T.)

It is said that majority of the Dengue infections happened in May and health authorities asked the help of the public to destroy the breeding grounds of the carrier mosquitoes. A cleaner environment plus spraying to kill mosquitoes are helpful in lessening the spread of the disease. Most morbidities and deaths in Dengue are observed in children. (Photo Credit: Kozzmen) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Tropical storm Feria brings flooding and deaths in RP

6/26/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


In the aftermath of the tropical storm “Feria,” comes the death of at least 8 persons, disappearance of 11 individuals and flooding in various parts of the country as reported by the National Disaster Coordinating Council (NDCC). Majority of those who disappeared are fishermen who braved the turbulent seas in Eastern and Central Visayas.

“The weather disturbance affected 44,401 persons in Batangas, Cavite and Quezon, Romblon, Albay, Masbate, Antique, Cebu, Leyte, Biliran, Western and Eastern Samar."---Philstar (06/26/09, Managhaya, J.)

As a result of the inclement weather some schools were temporarily closed.
The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) said 8,978 stranded passengers were recorded at 11 p.m. of June 24, 2009. However, only 1,389 remained hampered to travel as Feria left and headed northwards to Taiwan.

The PCG disclosed most of the stranded travelers were from 13 ports, mainly in the Bicol and Southern Luzon provinces. Of the 1,389 passengers, 370 were at the Batangas port, 200 in Pilar, Sorsogon and 165 people in Tabaco, Albay.
The damage to farmlands was estimated to reach P300,000 and P2.8 million to infrastructure. Photo Credit: Philstar/ Jonjon Vicensio) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Philippines reports first death of swine flu

6/23/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


At a time when the country registered 445 cases of H1N1 flu, the first mortality to the viral infection came to a 49 year old woman who suffered from complications of congestive heart failure following a heart attack.

According to Dr. Yolanda Oliveros, director for the National Center for Disease Prevention and Control, the victim who had pre-existing heart disease developed signs of flu on June 17, 2009. This underscores the higher risk of mortality among those with medical conditions which lower the resistance against flu----those who are immunocompromised or suffer from chronic illnesses like diabetes, heart disease, HIV/AIDS, asthma, cancer and the likes.

Related to the flu pandemic, 8 more schools temporarily closed after some of their students contracted the swine flu. At the rate the infection spreads, Dr. Lyndon Lee Suy testified to the house hearing that it’s possible 25% (about 22 million) of the population can be stricken by the illness. The virus has the potential to transform through genetic changes into a strain of greater virulence and lethality. (Photo Credit: Benedicte Desrus) =0=

PostHeaderIcon WHO declares H1N1 flu a pandemic; RP’s cases rise to 92

6/12/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


After weeks of weighing in the right time to declare a pandemic, the World Health Organization (WHO) finally ruled on Thursday, June 11, 2009 that the swine flu which caused illness and death to 27,737 and 141 people respectively, had reached pandemic level. It’s the first pandemic to be categorized in more than 40 years.

The new viral infection which has spread to 74 countries usually manifests as a mild illness and uncommonly cause death. Health authorities however emphasize the need for prevention and more caution. The virus is highly transmissible and quite unpredictable. It has a potential to transform and grow in virulence as it affects different populations of the world.

The decision to raise the disease to level 6 underscores the need for vigilance, prevention and control by various governments. The pandemic will spur the production of vaccines and drugs to fight the disease. It will require more money to keep the illness under control.

The raising the alert to the highest level coincides with the increase of cases in the Philippines to about 100, the highest number of those sickened so far by the swine infection in Southeast Asia. With the unpredictability the infection, one can just hope that the effort by the health authorities will lessen the incidence, mortality and morbidity of the pandemic in the country.

What is a pandemic?

A pandemic is a new infectious disease that spreads around the world.

The best recent example of a pandemic is AIDS, caused by a virus new to humans: HIV.

Seasonal flu viruses spread around the globe and cause 250,000 to 500,000 deaths each year -- including some 36,000 annual deaths in the U.S. But seasonal flu isn't considered a pandemic, even though the viruses that cause them change a little from season to season.

One of the seasonal flu viruses is a type A H1N1 virus. But the type H1N1 swine flu virus that appeared in 2009 is an entirely different virus. It carries genes from swine flu viruses from North America and Eurasia as well as genes from human and bird flu viruses.

Humans have never before been infected with this virus. That means that nobody is immune, although some people born before 1957 may have been exposed to an ancestor virus that could possibly give them a small degree of protection.

Because the vast majority of people are vulnerable to the 2009 H1N1 swine flu virus, because it spreads easily from person to person, and because the virus is spreading in communities in different parts of the world, the current swine flu has reached pandemic proportions.

Flu pandemics occur regularly. That's because there are many kinds of flu viruses in animals (mostly birds), but so far only a few have evolved the ability to infect humans. There were three flu pandemics in the 20th century: in 1918, in 1957, and in 1968. Source: WebMD (06/11/09, Daniel J. DeNoon; Louise Chang, MD)

What is WHO doing to respond?

"WHO continues to help all countries respond to the situation. The world cannot let down its guard and WHO must help the world remain and become better prepared.
WHO's support to countries takes three main forms: technical guidance, materials support, and training of health care system personnel.

WHO's primary concern is to strengthen and support health systems in countries with less resources. Health systems need to be able to prevent, detect, treat and mitigate cases of illness associated with this virus.

WHO is also working to make stocks of medicines (such as antivirals and antibiotics) and an eventual pandemic vaccine more accessible and affordable to developing countries.

Both antivirals and vaccines have important roles in treatment and prevention respectively. However, existing stocks of antivirals are unlikely to meet the demand. And vaccines may be developed, but it will some months.

Therefore, rational use of the limited resources will be essential. And medicines are only part of the response. WHO is also deploying diagnostic kits, medicines and masks and gloves for health care settings, teams of scientific experts, and medical technicians so countries in need can respond to local epidemics.

A pandemic sets national authorities in motion to implement preparedness plans, identify cases as efficiently as possible, and minimize serious illness and deaths with proper treatment.

The goal is to reduce the impact of the pandemic on society."---Source: www.who.int (Photo Credit: Amanda Ruth) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Militants bombed luxury hotel in Peshawar, Pakistan

6/10/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post




The bombing that killed about 50 people last year in Marriott Hotel in Islamabad was reminiscent of the recent carnage in Pearl Continental Hotel a plush and popular hotel, the hang-out of foreigners and well-to-do Pakistanis.

Using a truck carrying deadly explosives, the suicide bombers brought down portion of the luxury hotel into rubble and caused a huge crater on the parking lot. The destruction claimed the lives of at least 11 people, injuring about 70 others, at least 9 individuals in critical condition. Several foreigners were among the dead and wounded.

“The violence was the latest in a string of powerful bomb attacks and ambushes in Pakistan's major cities while the country continues to wage an offensive against Taliban militants in the Swat Valley and surrounding regions. Pakistani authorities have characterized the attacks as retaliation by the Taliban for major gains made by Pakistani troops against militants since the military operation began in late April.” The Chicago Tribune/ LA Times (06/09/09 Zulfiqar Ali, Alex Rodriguez)

“U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the "heinous terrorist attack" in "the strongest possible terms," U.N. deputy spokeswoman Marie Okabe said at U.N. headquarters in New York.”-----The Huffington Post / AP (06/09/09 Khan, Riaz)

The gunmen with their explosives barged into security at about 10 PM on Tuesday, June 9, 2009 as nightlife started in Peshawar, Pakistan’s largest Northeast city with a population of 2.2 million. The chaos that followed brought extensive loss of property, injuries, and senseless deaths.

The attack by terrorists was linked to the threats made public by the Al Qaeda-linked Taliban fighters who sought revenge against the bloody campaign they face against Pakistani security forces in Swat valley, a location close to the cities of Peshawar and Islamabad.

For the past weeks, about 15,000 Pakistani troops battled 7,000 Taliban Islamic militants prompting thousands of civilians to flee as the number of the dead mounted. A militia composed of civilians had been formed to kick out the Talibans in the area. (Photo credits: AFP Graphics; Reuters/ Ali Imam) =0=

Perseveranda So, a Filipina among the casualties in the Peshawar bombing

The 52-year-old Filipina Unicef worker devoted to education was unlucky to have been killed during the explosion that damaged the Pearl Continental Hotel in Peshawar, Pakistan.

Before her death, So, a dedicated Unicef Chief of Education helped in large measure the schooling of Filipinos through a program called Child Friendly School System. Her demise was announced by authorities of Unicef where she worked since 1994. =0=

After days of fruitless search, rescuers of Air France flight no. 447 which crashed last week in the Atlantic ocean reported finding at least 17 bodies floating at sea. The remains were probably part of the 229 passengers and crew who died when the plane mysteriously fell from the sky. To bodies would be brought to the mainland in the coastal city of Recife for identification.

The disaster is the worst aviation accident since 2001, and unprecedented in Air France's 75-year history. ---www.channelnewsasia.com / AFP (06/08/09)

With no hope of finding survivors, Brazilian and French authorities continue to search an area of 1,1000 kilometers in the northeast coast of Brazil to recover remnants of the aircraft whose black box is yet to be recovered. They are still investigating to determine the cause of the fatal disaster. (Photo Credit: Reuters / Brazilian Airforce) =0=

PostHeaderIcon Death toll rises to 41 in a child day care fire in Mexico

6/08/2009 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


The death toll in a fire that engulf a government subsidized child day care center in Mexico rose to 41 as many more children are treated in hospitals for burns sustained in a tragic conflagration.

“Mexico's government provides low-cost day care for almost 230,000 children of working parents at 1,562 centers across the country. Like the ABC day care, many of them are leased to private owners, a system Karam said has proved efficient for decades. After the fire, he said the government's safety standards would be re-evaluated.” AP (06/07/09, Rodriquez,O; Williams, J)

The fire occurred on Friday morning, June 5, 2009 in the northwest area of Sonora where 142 children ages 6 months to 5 years were staying. Spreading rapidly in the building firefighters, caretakers, parents, and neighbors battled the flames which engulfed children causing burns, smoke inhalation, and asphyxiation. A father crashed his pick-up track on the burning building to save a few trapped toddlers.

Mexican president Felipe Calderon who visited the hospitals ordered an investigation as grieving parents start to bury the dead. At least 20 victims are confined in critical condition in hospitals and about 80 children with little or no injuries were sent home. Because of the tragedy, Mexicans are asking if similar day care facilities in the country are safe to provide low-cost child care for working parents. (Photo Credit: Gypsygirl) =0=

What is striking in these two tables is the primacy of heart diseases as the top cause of death in both the Philippines and USA. This includes congenital heart problems such as hereditary valvular and septal anomalies; acquired heart illnesses like ischemic, coronary, hypertensive, cardiomyopathic, and infectious conditions are included.

However, in a new report on Dec 10, 2008, cancer is noted to be on the rise. It is expected to top the list of disease killers by the year 2010. The main cause given is the unabated use of tobacco---resulting to an increasing incidence of lung and respiratory malignancies particularly in developing countries.

One notes the exceedingly high accident mortality rate in both countries---deaths that are basically preventable. The vehicular-injuries mortality in the Philippines is strikingly more than 4x in males, those who ply the streets as drivers and travellers.

Greater than 2,000 children are killed every day, or about 830,000 every year, from injuries sustained in preventable accidents, a United Nations’ report said.---PDI (12/11/08, Uy,V)

If #7 NEC in the Philippine data means necrotizing enterocolitis and #10 refers to perinatal diseases, they indicate high mortalities in newborns and children which isn't reflected in the US data.

Tuberculosis, a treatable old chronic infectious disease still comes as #6 in the Philippines while in USA, Alzheimer's disease, a degenerative illness of aging ranks high as the 7th leading cause of death.

The disparity of these data serves as a guide on the current healthcare planning and services respective countries must offer. Most of these top killers are preventable in which educational campaigns and proper medical care have significant roles. (Photo Credits: SterlingArtz; Poodle boi)=0=

PostHeaderIcon Cancer races to be #1 disease killer in 2010

12/11/2008 | Posted by mesiamd | Edit Post


The World Health Organization (WHO) recently reported that cancer will lord as the leading cause of death by 2010. The disclosure predicts that if trends continue, by 2030 new cancer diagnosis can reach 27 million, jacking up the number of sufferers to 75 million worldwide. A staggering 17 million of them are expected to die in that year surpassing the top killer: cardiac diseases.

It has been noted that cancer worldwide is on the rise, eclipsing the upward climb of infections and heart diseases. Countries like China, Russia, Indonesia, and India are known to have a huge smoking population. It is believed that tobacco-smoking in developing countries is the main reason for the increase in cancer cases, mostly in developing countries where at least 40% of smokers reside. Population growth and better disease recognition also add to fresh cancer diagnoses which are expected to reach 12 million this year.

"Cancer is one of the greatest untold health crises of the developing world…Few are aware that cancer already kills more people in poor countries than HIV, malaria, and tuberculosis combined. And if current smoking trends continue, the problem will get significantly worse," said Dr. Douglas Blayney, president-elect of the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

"This is going to present an amazing problem at every level in every society worldwide," added Peter Boyle, director of the WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer. ---Reuters (12/10/08)

The concern for the cancer problem is real. Though it is potentially preventable and treatable among the major life-threatening chronic diseases, malignancies are blamed for 1 in 8 deaths worldwide. With the rising cost of medical services and the sharp increase of those who need care, treatment for cancer will over-burden the healthcare services.

Many countries worldwide aren’t prepared. The medical infrastructures needed to manage cancer patients are lacking or virtually non-existent. Governments are therefore urged to embark on aggressive cancer prevention programs, grassroots anti-smoking and anti-cervical cancer campaigns among others, to combat the emerging top killer.
