Typhoid Fever Outbreak in Real, Quezon (Philippines)
I’ve just seen on TV Patrol the news about a possible typhoid fever outbreak in Real, Quezon, Philippines. The number of suspected cases in of typhoid fever in Real, Quezon is 84 as of this writing. The suspected source of this outbreak is the spring in the place which is the people’s primary source of drinking water.
Typhoid fever or “tipus” is a common illness in the Philippines and is commonly caused by ingesting contaminated food or water. The most common sources of contamination are human stool and chicken stool. Like other common diseases and illnesses in the Philippines during the rainy season, the best way to prevent typhoid fever is to make sure that the food and water that you take in are clean.
According to wikipedia,
Typhoid fever also known as enteric fever, or commonly just typhoid, is an illness caused by the bacterium Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi. Common worldwide, it is transmitted by the ingestion of food or water contaminated with feces from an infected person. The bacteria then perforate through the intestinal wall and are phagocytosed by macrophages. Salmonella Typhi then alters its structure to resist destruction and allow them to exist within the macrophage. This renders them resistant to damage by PMN’s, complement and the immune response. The organism is then spread via the lymphatics while inside the macrophages. This gives them access to the reticuloendothelial system and then to the different organs throughout the body. The organism is a Gram-negative short bacillus that is motile due to its peritrichous flagella. The bacteria grows best at 37 °C/99 °F – human body temperature.
In addition, the signs and symptoms of typhoid fever include the following:
1. High fever
2. Pallor/Pale Skin
3. Lack of appetite/anorexia
4. Diarrhea
According to the record of the Department of Health (DOH), the highest number of confirmed cases of typhoid fever outbreak was in Laguna with 400 cases and 7 deaths.
Prevention of typhoid fever include, but is not limited to, the following:
1. Frequent handwashing with antibacterial soap
2. Environmental sanitation especially proper waste disposal
3. Boiling of unsanitary water for at least 2 minutes

How to Deal with Headaches behind the eyes?
If you are suffering from pain behind the eyes, you can be sure it may be a symptom of some kind of headache. There can be several other health problems associated with pain behind eyes. A lot of people complain of extreme one sided headache which involves the area around or behind the eyes. This is also called cluster headache.
In cluster headache, there is tearing and redness in the eyes and it comes in the form of small pupil on the affected side of the face. Stuffy and running nose are the aftereffects of this headache. These types of headaches are very harsh and they last 25 minutes to a couple of hours. These headaches can come many times in a single day continuously up to for 8 weeks. The peculiar characteristic of this headache is that it disappears for a few months or even for years.
When it comes to the treatment of this headache, the Oxygen mask is the safest treatment for cluster headache. The big advantage of oxygen mask is that it increases oxygen level in the blood which helps the blood vessels to relax. In case oxygen mask does not help, injections of sumatriphan and dihydroergotamine can provide relief from this type of headache.
You can also get over-the-counter painkillers for this headache, though, they should be your last resort. The reason is that the headache goes away before the pill starts doing its job and people are of the view that that particular medicine gives the relief and as a result, they are just habitual of getting these medicines. Cluster headaches and migraines are called vascular headaches in medical terminology.
These headaches occur due to improper function of blood vessels in the brain. This happens because of chemical change in the hormones of the brain. In migraine also, headache starts from one or both eyes.
In migraine headaches, the person gets visual disturbance called aura. In this case, the person sees zigzag lines and flashing lights and also suffers from blurred vision. Migraine comes with symptoms like fatigue, vomiting and the person becomes sensitive to lights and sounds.
People with cluster or migraine headaches should avoid alcoholic beverages as well as smoking. Foods with nitrates are also to be kept away.

What Kind of Diabetes Do You Have?
Diabetes is not a single disease with a single cause. Rather, it is a collection of diseases, some more difficult to control than others. All forms of diabetes involve a hormone (body regulator) from the pancreas called insulin. If you have diabetes, either you lack insulin or the insulin you have is not doing its job properly. The result is that instead of being stored for energy through the action of insulin, the foods you eat (primarily the starches or carbohydrates) raise your blood sugar to higher-than-normal levels. Without treatment, your blood sugar remains high and has the potential of adversely affecting every organ and system in your body. With treatment, the insulin problem can be solved, and your blood sugar can be brought down or normalized so that the body is not damaged. A person with diabetes can thus remain healthy and look forward to a normal life span.
Who Gets Diabetes?
In 1977, the Diabetes Data Group (a government-appointed group of the National Diabetes Advisory Board) reported that an estimated $6 billion is spent each year in this country on diabetes, for direct costs (medical care) and indirect costs (lost work time, etc.). In 1984, according to the report, "Diabetes in America," the loss was reportedly $14 billion annually. And in 1989, the cost was estimated to be $20.6 billion -- roughly 3.6 percent of total U.S. health-care costs. This is an average cost per year of $2,000 for each insulin-dependent person. The most recent statistics are somewhat frightening. Data from 1997 from the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) report that there are now 15.7 million Americans with diabetes, or 5.9 percent of the population. Two-thirds of these people have been diagnosed, and one-third are as yet undiagnosed. There are 798,000 new cases of diabetes diagnosed each year and 193,140 deaths directly attributable by death certificates to diabetes, though death certificate data underestimate the true incidence of death due to diabetes and its complications. The cost of the disease is also rising rapidly. Total cost of diabetes in 1997 was estimated by the ADA as $98 billion. Some estimates have ranged as high as $138 billion. The amount of $98 billion represents 10 percent of the total health-care expenditure, and the higher number represents 15 percent of the health-care dollar. The latter number would mean that while diabetes occurs in only 1 out of every 17 people it takes 1 out of every 7 health-care dollars. Yet diabetes receives less than 1 percent of the national research budget or less than 1 out of every 100 research dollars. This is a serious problem that must be challenged if we are to find a cure and end this costly disease. We need to get the message to Congress that they need to look again at priorities and allocate the proper proportion of the research budget to diabetes. "As bad as these bare numbers are, we must also remember that those who suffer losses due to diabetes are not just statistics on a chart. They are people whose talents and wisdom are needed and whose problems deserve our unified efforts. Together we can join to make life more just and more joyful for generations to come." This is a quote from Dr. David Satcher who was then the director of the CDC and is now the Surgeon General of the United States.
While the numbers are bad, there is hope. Progress is being made, and life for people with diabetes gets better each day. Education of people with diabetes is one way to improve control of diabetes and quality of life and even save money. Many studies have been reported that show great cost savings -- as much as $3 million per year, in one program -- through patient teaching and proper medical care.
