High TB prevalence continues to haunt this Madhya Pradesh tribe - The Hindu High TB prevalence continues to haunt this Madhya Pradesh tribe - The Hindu Posted: 30 Aug 2019 12:08 PM PDT It was in 2017 that Jasodi Adiwasi's* husband, complaining of persistent stomach ache and cough for some days, died of tuberculosis. After father-in-law, grandmother and brother-in-law, he was the fourth one in the family that TB snatched away. Months later, desperate to find means to feed her seven-year-old son, she took up sex work, a seemingly easy way to make ₹5,000 a month. This, at the cost of being spurned by the villagers. Around dusk, Jasodi, 24, made up and wearing a gaudy sari, peeps from the doorway of her mud hut along the main road, awaiting men from a neighbouring village. Meanwhile, her mother-in-law, 70, squatting along the road weeds its edges, a task that fetches her and other elderly widows ₹150 a day. At a nondescript village in Sh...

EDITORIAL - Back to polio vaccination - Philippine Star EDITORIAL - Back to polio vaccination - Philippine Star Posted: 21 Aug 2019 12:00 AM PDT EDITORIAL - Back to polio vaccination (The Philippine Star) - August 21, 2019 - 12:00am It's just as well that parents are starting to get over the anti-vaccine hysteria and are bringing their children to immunology teams. The measles immunization program is getting back on track, unfortunately after more than 500 deaths in the first five months of the year alone. The other day, the Department of Health launched a fresh anti-polio immunization drive. Thanks to a decades-old immunization program, the Philippines was declared polio-free as of October 2000, but health officials have warned of the possibility of a resurgence. Poliomyelitis, or infantile paralysis, can strike not just children below five years old but also adults who have not been immunized. It's a highly infectiou...

Life before Vaccines: Growing up in the 1930s and 40s. Category: Features - Berkeley Daily Planet Life before Vaccines: Growing up in the 1930s and 40s. Category: Features - Berkeley Daily Planet Posted: 31 Aug 2019 11:31 AM PDT Medical science has profoundly changed our lives. I am sure that I would not have survived to this old age without antibiotics, advances in epidemiology and surgery. I was a child in the 1930s. We lived in a flat across the street from my grammar school playground and I had friends in the neighborhood. It was a time when parents simply said "Go out and play" and we did. Our games were hopscotch, kick the can, jacks, tag, jump rope, handball and hide and seek. We cruised on roller skates and bikes, and built club houses out of boxes in vacant lots. We were supposed to come home at twilight, before dark. The milkman, bakery truck and iceman delivered to our doors. We felt safe in our neighborhoods. But my paren...

'We need to act now': Health chief warns of polio return in PH - ABS-CBN News 'We need to act now': Health chief warns of polio return in PH - ABS-CBN News Posted: 31 Aug 2019 01:52 AM PDT MANILA - The Philippines is currently at "high risk for poliovirus transmission," a health official said on Saturday, as he called for urgent action to avert the return of the disease. Health Secretary Francisco Duque III said there has been a drop in oral polio vaccine (OPV) coverage in the past years. This traces back to the vaccine scare linked to the controversy over anti-dengue virus Dengvaxia, said to have ill effects if given to those who have not had dengue. "In 2018, the vaccine coverage for the third dose of OPV was 66 percent. This figure is below the 95 percent target required to ensure that the whole population is protected against polio," Duque said in a press conference in Quezon City...

OPINION EXCHANGE | Good news: Africa hasn't reported a case of polio in three years - Star Tribune OPINION EXCHANGE | Good news: Africa hasn't reported a case of polio in three years - Star Tribune Posted: 29 Aug 2019 03:38 PM PDT On Aug. 21, we turned on our computers to learn of great news from Africa. Nigeria, the last country on that continent to report cases of the wild poliovirus, had not reported a case in three years. This means that the entire African region could be certified as free of the wild poliovirus as soon as mid-2020. The news was especially gratifying because Nigeria came close to this milestone three years ago, before four cases of polio were uncovered in a region of northeastern Nigeria where the Boko Haram insurgency had denied access to vaccinators. We wrote at the time ("Polio nearly eradicated worldwide — nearly," Sept. 1, 2016) to outline all that had been achieved across the globe by...

‘Alive Still’ Review: Taking Nothing for Granted - Wall Street Journal ‘Alive Still’ Review: Taking Nothing for Granted - Wall Street Journal Posted: 30 Aug 2019 08:08 AM PDT If Nell Blaine had never been born, some screenwriter would have dreamed her up—and been accused of mawkishness. She was, in a sense, an archetypal figure of the midcentury Manhattan art scene: experimenting tirelessly with her paints, mingling with Frank O'Hara and Kenneth Koch, bedding everyone, male or female. Then, in 1959, she contracted polio. Waving aside her doctors' warnings that her hands were too frail to paint, she overcame her disability, relearned her trade and went on to produce a slew of brilliant oils and watercolors, cheered on by old friends and an adoring lover. (The biopic would have to be called "My... You are subscribed to email updates from "polio history" - Google News . To stop receiving these ...

Mehsud tribesmen announce boycott of anti-polio drive - Pakistan - ReliefWeb Mehsud tribesmen announce boycott of anti-polio drive - Pakistan - ReliefWeb Posted: 25 Aug 2019 07:03 PM PDT LADHA: Shamankhel clan of Mehsud tribe from Bangiwala village in Sararogha tehsil of South Waziristan has announced to boycott the anti-polio vaccination campaign starting from Aug 26 in protest against the government's failure to construct a bridge over a stream near their village . Shamankhel tribesmen told Dawn on Friday that absence of bridge over the stream was causing them great distress as the locals, including children, had to cross the stream to reach markets and schools located on the other side. They said when it rained the stream overflowed, cutting them off from rest of the areas. The tribesmen said they would boycott the anti-polio campaign due to government's apathy towards their plight. They demanded that the government immediately ...
