back pain and fever :: Article Creator Back Pain Is A Symptom Of Four Cancers - Expert Shares How It Differs From Usual Back Pain Cancerous back pain: Dr Amir outlines signs and symptoms Back pain is a common ailment felt by many of us, especially as we get older. In fact, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence states that around 60 percent of adults report suffering from lower back pain at least once in their lives.

check vaccine :: Article Creator Back To School Means Check Vaccine Status Jul. 28—Julie Hall, head nurse at Clarksville Community Schools, knows intimately the risk children face when they're unvaccinated. Before the chickenpox vaccine was introduced in 1995, students would have to miss up to two weeks of school to recover, she said. She remembers when polio paralyzed her father's cousin in a time before the vaccine was readily available. Both the chickenpox and the polio vaccine — along with several others — are now required for school-aged children in Indiana, meaning far fewer cases and less concern about the diseases over the last two decades. "The vaccines have made it so that we can have a healthier life and be able to function normally, so that you can go and learn," Hall said. "That's really our goal: that children learn and have their best life." Health officials are encouraging Southern Indiana fa...

OPINION: This past week, while the nation sat transfixed by endless stories of President Biden's pathological dishonesty, Hunter Biden's cocaine-laced corruption and Rep. Nancy Mace's just-plain-weird boasting of her wanton sex life, another headline of equal if not more significance may have escaped your attention. On July 24, the World Health Organization reported that a male citizen of the United Arab Emirates had been hospitalized with MERS-CoV, a coronavirus variant with a 35% mortality rate.  Clare Watson, a self-described fact-checker writing for ScienceAlert, introduces the story this way: "A man has tested positive for MERS-CoV in Abu Dhabi. … So far, the 28-year-old is the only case to test positive out of [multiple] close contacts identified."  Apparently, the man checked into a private medical clinic multiple times in early ...

presumptive treatment of malaria :: Article Creator Malaria Treatment Malaria can be a potentially fatal disease especially when caused by Plasmodium falciparum. Treatment should be initiated as soon as possible after diagnosis is made. Treatment can be both by oral drugs as well as intravenous injections of antimalarials. Most drugs used in treatment are active against the parasite forms in the blood. Choice of treatment Treatment of a malaria patient depends on several factors including; Species of Plasmodium affecting the individual. Clinical condition of the patient.

yellow fever plague :: Article Creator The Yellow Fever Epidemic Philadelphia's yellow fever epidemic of 1793 was the largest in the history of the United States, claiming the lives of nearly 4000 people.

At the urging of Benjamin Rush, the support of Philadelphia's free black community was enlisted by Absalom Jones, Richard Allen, and William Gray, a fruitseller who along with Allen and Jones had secured support to build the African Church the previous year. In an effort to prove themselves morally superior to those who reviled them, Philadelphia's black community put aside their resentment and dedicated themselves to working with the sick and dying in all capacities, including as nurses, cart drivers, and ...
