The bacteria in the body of a person that cause disease are usually contracted from an outside agency other than a person. In addition, there are biases that may be more or less influential in regard to contamination by a bacterial disease.

For example, places where there is little prophylaxis, who do not have sanitary conditions to operate, are more exposed to the action of bacteria that are so ideal for their growth. Similarly, there are certain natural agents like animals and some plants may be bacterial pathogens. This is why people should make an ongoing effort to maintain both their work areas as clean as possible cohabitation. It is true that in some cases this rule is very difficult to accomplish, and thus may be more cases of people infected by bacteria from what many refer to official statistics.

A bacterial disease known for example is tuberculosis. In recent days there have been awareness campaigns to major population centers on the incidence of this condition. They have been recommended for people that you take preventive actions that help the disease-causing bacteria can not find the right conditions to reproduce. Similarly, it has helped in this task that many people have reported they are infected by this disease.

A disease caused by bacteria that attacks mainly children is pertussis. The cases of this disease have declined in an impressive manner in the last decade, perhaps due to the development of prevention methods that help the child population look less exposed to bacteria of this type of cold. Tetanus is another bacterial disease that has diminished its impact among the people, as well and take necessary steps to present themselves much less the conditions under which the tetanus bacteria to develop normally.

There are many other bacterial diseases that are not requirements of article presented here. If you have a medical condition or abnormal conditions several drawbacks, can be infected bacteria.

How does the impact of nosocomial infectionsThe use of copper surfaces in intensive care units, 97% kill of bacteria that can cause nosocomial infections, according to preliminary results of a study in the U.S..

The research, presented at the First International Conference on Prevention and Control of Infections of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Geneva, also showed a 40% risk of infection.

The report supported the findings four years ago in three U.S. hospitals: replacing the contaminated surfaces in intensive care units with copper monitor the growth of bacteria and reduce infection rates.

Nosocomial infections are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S., after heart disease, strokes and cancer.

According to estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, for its acronym in English), one of every 20 hospital patients contract a nosocomial disease, resulting in the deaths of 100,000 people a year.

The rate of 97% reduction of bacteria with antibacterial copper is similar to that achieved with the cleaning is done in a room when a patient leaves.

Michael Schmidt, professor and vice chair of microbiology and immunology at the Medical University of South Carolina, who presented the findings, said: “The bacteria in intensive care units are probably responsible for 80% of infections in patients, demonstrates how critical it is to keep hospitals clean. “

“Objects of copper used in clinical trials lowered the levels of bacteria and supplemented cleaning protocols,” he said.

Passive smoking linked to stillbirths

Passive smoking Pregnant women who live or work with smokers face a higher risk of giving birth to a stillborn baby, having a child with low birth weight or with a smaller head, according to a Canadian study.

It is considered that passive smoking exposes people to about 1% of smokers who inhale toxic assets, and the study adds further evidence that this secondhand smoke can harm an unborn baby.

“This information is important for women, their families and healthcare providers,” wrote Joan Crane, of Eastern Health in St. John’s, Canada, and BJOB: An International Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology. “The smoke emitted from the burning cigarette contains many harmful chemicals and in higher concentration than the smoke inhaled through a filter,” said the expert.

Crane and his colleagues indicated that these toxic harm to the fetus in several ways: for example, restricting blood flow and possibly damaging the placenta.

Through a database of pregnant women in the Canadian provinces of Newfoundland and Labrador, the team observed the rate of stillbirth deliveries as well as other results during the birth, such as fetal head circumference, which has been linked with delayed intellectual development in children.

Of the nearly 12,000 women in the database, 11% said they had been exposed to secondhand smoke. The birth rate of stillbirth in which the fetus dies during the third trimester of pregnancy, was 0.83% in passive smokers, compared with 0.37% in women who did not breathe smoke snuff.

This does not prove that the smoke itself is the culprit. Even when the researchers took into account other risk factors, including maternal age and alcohol consumption patterns and drug-passive smokers were still three times more likely to give birth to a stillborn child. In other words, if the poison is thus the culprit, he would die a baby in the womb of every 117 women exposed to passive smoking.

“This is huge,” said Hamisu Salihu, an expert on stillbirths of the University of South Florida in Tampa. Can now be added “to inform patients that secondhand smoke can lose your baby.” That relationship was not conclusively established until now, concluded the expert, who did not participate in the study.

Canadian researchers also found that babies born to passive smokers spend about 54 grams less than those whose mothers lived and worked in places “smoke-free.” Also, their heads were slightly smaller, with an average of 0.24 inches shorter.

Globally, the most common causes of infant death are birth complications during childbirth, infections during pregnancy such as syphilis, maternal health problems like hypertension or diabetes, fetal growth retardation, by which infants not grow at the appropriate rate, and birth defects.

Private Health Care Thursday May 5 marks the Day of Celiac, but those who suffer from this intestinal condition still waiting for his reasons to celebrate. That’s why at the time, from 18, there will be a march that starts from the National Congress to Plaza de Mayo to demand the regulation of Law 26,588, enacted in December 2009 and expected to be applied by the Ministry of Health.

The rule states that the Public Works, Private Health Care Companies and other health workers provide to their members coverage of specific foods. In turn, points to the correct label all gluten-free products, the realization of campaigns on the disease, and assisting those who lack health coverage.

“Leading a gluten-free diet is the only treatment for celiac disease, but many patients drop out due to lack of resources,” said a lawyer Celina DocSalud.com Bo, an advocate of the law and mother of two children with the condition.

It explained that, eating a proper diet to avoid symptoms can cost four times more than a traditional diet and even the price of a bag of 200 grams Palmeritas becomes an eccentricity, as its price is about $ 45 .

“Celiac disease is a chronic disease with a single treatment: diet. However, medical coverage do not take it as such when they refuse to cover eligible breaths, forcing patients to file habeas corpus, “said Bo.

The lawyer acknowledged that, after years of struggle, failure proceeded: “The last sentence on OSDE recognized celiac disease and chronic and forced to cover 70% of the value of specific foods and not just manufactured and pre-meal, because the current lifestyle does not allow mothers to amass every time a child wants to eat a cookie. “

Bo stressed that “the lack of regulation should never be an impediment to the State to comply with the right to health.” Is that this disease, which damages the lining of the small intestine and prevents absorption of food, produce serious consequences if not treated. These include the loss of bone mass, repeated abortions, cancer of the colon and rectum, and small, among others.

However, these effects “are not known in a massive way, since there are no advertising campaigns,” said the lawyer. On the other hand said there is not a common consciousness to avoid cross contamination, in the case of celiac gluten respond to an edible food go to another because it was made a good practice when handling was developed.

As an example the lawyer said: “If you pollute a potato chip when used for cooking oil the same as that of a Milanese, intolerance occurs at large, and in five years, these oversights can have serious repercussions on the health of the patient” .

Moreover, Bo stressed that the legislation provides to subsidize Buenos Aires bars and restaurants including menus “fit celiac.” As expressed, this incentive can partially combat social implications of the disease, especially younger ones, “because the mental health of children also is affected by not being able to eat anything out, nor on the birthday.”

Regarding labels, companies that include “do on their own and sometimes also remove them.” In this regard, to ensure their appearance, the law “is not a capricious initiative, also guarantees the right to health, integrity and compliance information.

For útlimo, Bo said the march, which is named “Rules and” will be peaceful, and that “there is no intention to disturb or cut a street.” Said they will invite people to walk on the sides of roads with the aim of a claim to ensure mental and physical health of those with gluten intolerance is a priority at the end of the political agenda.

bacteria for bodyThe streptococcus pneumonia, or pneumococcus, a bacterium that causes many different types of infections in people, ranging from simple ear infections and sinus infections to pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis.
Although the names are similar, S. pneumonia is very different from for example the group A streptococcus (progenies), which is the bacteria that causes strep throat and rheumatic fever, or streptococcus viridians (causing endocarditic)

Pneumococcus is the most common cause of bacterial meningitis and approximately 8% of children with pneumococcal meningitis die from the infection, while 1 in 4 children who survive have permanent neurological damage or hearing loss. It is the most common cause of ear infections and sinus infections, the bacterium is passed from one person to another, usually through droplets from sneezing or coughing and, like viral infections of upper respiratory tract pneumococcal infections are more frequent in winter. The infection may begin as early as 1-3 days after exposure.

There are also some people who are more susceptible to pneumococcal infections than others. A particular group of people who are more likely to be infected are those whose spleen is damaged or surgically removed – either by trauma or disease, because the spleen is the site of removal of encapsulated bacteria. Other people who are susceptible to pneumonia are those with immune system problems, such as HIV / AIDS infected, immune and other debilitating diseases.

There are over 80 different known strains or serotypes “of pneumococcus. Some are more prevalent in different areas, some are more prevalent in children, while others are more common in adults.
