tick borne relapsing fever :: Article Creator Are Ticks A Threat To People In Texas? Here's What Experts Say Are Diseases To Worry About The danger posed by ticks increases during this time of year, though the rates of tick-borne diseases here in Texas are much lower than many other states. People are exposed by entering an area where ticks exist or come into contact with other warm-blooded animals carrying the parasites, according to the Texas Farm Bureau. Diseases that can be transmitted from ticks to humans are Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain spotted fever and tularemia. "All ticks feed on warm-blooded animals by attaching themselves to the skin using their mouthparts. Tick 'bites' can be painful and cause localized inflammation, swelling, loss of blood (anemia), open hosts to secondary infections and possibly transmit disease agents such as those causing Rocky Mountain spotted fever, Lyme disease and tularemia," says Texas A...

mmr triple vaccine :: Article Creator Promoting Awareness For RSV Vaccines: Part 2 Discussion surrounding promotion of RSV vaccine awareness is further discussed. Adam C. Welch, PharmD, MBA, FAPhA: Patients could theoretically get their first nudge in primary care, and then they go to see a pharmacist and get another nudge about the vaccine, and then they see another provider and continue to get the same consistent message about the importance of RSV [respiratory syncytial virus] vaccines. After a while, the cumulative effect of those nudges may lead to a person making the informed decision to get vaccinated. Wanda Filer, MD, MBA, FAAFP: Hopefully, they'll hear from their next-door neighbor or someone at church that they got the vaccine and it didn't bother them much and they are glad they're protected. Or, to your point, they will hear it from the radio station or their local health reporter. We're in this together. Marty J....

mmr titer labcorp :: Article Creator MMR - The Warnings Ignored by MELANIE PHILLIPS, Daily Mail For three months, Mail writer Melanie Phillips has been investigating the MMR controversy. Yesterday, in the first part of a major series, she revealed how crucial evidence has been distorted to give the vaccine the all-clear and how supposedly neutral experts are linked to drug firms producing it.

Today, she looks at the warnings that have gone unheeded. _______________________________________ Little William Kessick was a bubbly and jolly baby. Bright as a button, he was born without problems 14 years ago and passed all the normal milestones of child development with flying colours.

mumps on one side :: Article Creator Single Mumps Vaccine Banned A single mumps vaccine given to thousands of children whose parents have shunned the controversial MMR jab was banned in Britain. Officials have banned imports of the Pavivac jab from the Czech Republic amid concerns the vaccine is grown on dogs' kidneys. The Committee on Safety of Medicines said there was not enough information to offer firm assurances over the safety, quality or efficacy of Pavivac, manufactured by Czech firm Sevapharma. Clinics offering single jabs as an alternative to MMR accused the Government of 'scaremongering'. The Department of Health has denied claims there is a link between MMR and bowel disease and autism. It refuses to provide single jabs on the NHS. ...

most deadly flu epidemic :: Article Creator 10 Reasons We KNOW That COVID-19 Leaked From The Wuhan Lab Security guards outside of the Wuhan Institute of Virology during a WHO investigation on February 3, 2021.REUTERS/Thomas Peter/File Photo It's time for the US to be an international leader in calling for a treaty banning all dangerous gain-of-function research using the principles in a 2016 National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine report setting standards for virus research. The document identifies seven types of pathogen research that should never be performed given the risk to humanity. The experiment types became known as "the seven deadly sins." The Wuhan Lab was committing some of them. We need to prevent what happened before, when Fauci continued to fund dangerous gain-of-function research despite President Obama placing a moratorium on it. An updated position paper outlining specific types of gain-of...

kidney disease epidemic :: Article Creator Act Now To Address The Silent Epidemic Of Chronic Kidney Disease Chronic kidney disease should be a health and policy priority in Europe1 Around 30-40 percent of Europeans are predicted to be at risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD), many of whom may not realize it.1,2 In fact, according to a new Economist Impact report – one of the deliverables in a broader project, designed and conducted by Economist Impact, which was funded and initiated by AstraZeneca – CKD has a higher prevalence in the EU than the estimated 52 million for diabetes and 17 million for cancer.1 Given the high numbers — up to 100 million Europeans are estimated to already be affected by CKD — awareness is crucial if early detection is to improve patient outcomes.1 And not just within medical communities either. Policymakers, many of whom may not recognize the urgency of CKD, must increase their understanding of what Belgian MEP Hilde...
