The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) calls insufficient sleep an epidemic and says it linked to vehicle crashes, industrial disasters,

OBESITY AND STROKE Coresh says he worries what the obesity epidemic which began in the 1990s,

of the H1n1 flu virus. Flu epidemics cause up to half a million deaths each year, and emerging strains continually threaten to spread to humans and cause even deadlier pandemics.

The findings, published in Immunity, pave the way for an urgently needed therapy that is highly effective against the flu virus

FAST-SPREADING EPIDEMICS The need for new antiviral drugs against the influenza virus is great.

antiviral drugs play an important role in fast-spreading epidemics. Yet Influenza a viruses are developing resistance to antiviral drugs currently in use.

By transferring this gene to commercial wheat varieties wheat breeders will have a distinct advantage in controlling the epidemic the researchers say.

Dementia Epidemic South korea is at the forefront of a worldwide eruption of dementia from about 30 million estimated cases now to an estimated 100 million in 2050.

Citing an epidemic of childhood obesity, regulators are taking aim at a range of tactics used to market foods high in sugar,

In 2009, Flu Trends had to tweak its algorithms after its models badly underestimated ILI in the United states at the start of the H1n1 (swine flu) pandemic###a glitch attributed to changes in people s search behaviour as a result of the exceptional nature of the pandemic (S. Cook et al.

The Joint United nations Programme on HIV/AIDS earlier called for a ast-trackapproach to end the world AIDS epidemic by 2030 that would increase the necessary annual investmentsow at $21. 7 billiony $12 billion.

Doing so will require more domestic spending by low-income countries that are hardest hit by the epidemic as well as larger contributions from wealthy nations.

During flu epidemics, rapid testing for the rs12252 variant in hospital emergency departments could help to identify people at risk of developing severe influenza and prioritise them for treatment.

Any future civil quarantines in response to flu pandemics could also provide a ump-startto adoption of portable tech,

and treatments and could be a game changer in terms of our preparedness for future pandemics and seasonal flu outbreaks because it's focusing on host immunity,

it would indicate a role for the food additive in driving the epidemic of obesity, its interrelated consequences and a range of diseases associated with chronic gut inflammation,

and prescription opioid epidemic the Obama administration announced recently a new $13. 4 million program to curb access to both.

The program will target illegal trafficking of the drugs in areas that have been particularly hard hit by the epidemic

The ban, instated in 1985 in the early years of the AIDS epidemic, has long been criticized by members of the medical community

#Mechanism of epidemic bacterial disease identified Through identification of increased toxin production by epidemic forms of group A streptococcus (the"flesh-eating"bacterium),

for the first time scientists are able to pinpoint the molecular events that contribute to large intercontinental epidemics of disease.

and the U s. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious diseases report their discoveries and implications for future studies of epidemic diseases in an upcoming Journal of Clinical Investigation (early online).

genetic changes that contributed to large epidemics of group A streptococcus (GAS).""These findings now give us the opportunity to begin to develop new translational medicine tools

or dampen, epidemics.""According to the World health organization, GAS causes more than 600 million cases of human disease every year.

The collaborating team of international scientists found that group A streptococcus was an excellent model organism to study the molecular basis of epidemic bacterial infections.

Researchers have known for more than a century that this pathogenic bacterium can cause epidemics but no one has been able to fully address the cause.

was that changes in the genetic make-up of the GAS pathogen had underpinned new epidemics. To address this hypothesis

The researchers found that in the epidemic form of group A streptococcus, which can manifest as necrotizing fasciitis,

or"flesh-eating"disease, there were two significant and crucial changes within the regulatory region of the epidemic strains.

All three of these SNPS contributed to building a pathogenic organism that is a more virulent machine capable of causing epidemics."

and address food insecurity, poverty and disempowerment if we are to achieve the UNAIDS goal of ending the HIV/AIDS epidemic by 2030."

and treatments and could be a game changer in terms of our preparedness for future pandemics and seasonal flu outbreaks because it's focusing on host immunity,

while current statistics on the epidemic are the most promising in well over a year last week only four new cases were observed in Guinea

The results suggest that drugs capable of targeting similar molecular pathways in human fat cells could one day become major tools for fighting the growing worldwide epidemics of obesity and type 2 diabetes, according to senior

Current experimental drugs generally target only one of Ebola's five species."The current growing epidemic demonstrates the need for effective broad-range Ebola virus therapies,

"Importantly, viral sequence information from the epidemic reveals rapid changes in the viral genome, while our target sequence remains the same.

Therefore, our target will enable the discovery of drugs with the potential to treat any future epidemic,

"Although the current push of clinical trials will hopefully lead to an effective treatment for the Zaire species causing the present epidemic,

and the Pandemic and All-Hazard Preparedness Act (signed into law 2 years later) allotted billions of dollars in funding for research into medical countermeasures to be used in the case of nuclear, chemical,

A sequencer this small might one day let police read off a genome from a spot of blood at a crime scene or permit doctors to pinpoint viruses in the midst of an epidemic.

#Mathematicians Explain Why Social Epidemics Spread Faster in Some Countries Than Others Psychologists have puzzled always over why people in Sweden were slower to start smoking and slower to stop.

Treating smoking like an epidemic in this way finally reveals what going on. They say their results can explain the rate of change of smoking in various industrialized countries.

The U s. faces an epidemic of mental illness among veterans, including suicide rates three or four times that of the general public.

but we knew we had come face-to-face with a potential pandemic that could kill millions of people around the world

#Microsoft's drones to catch mosquitoes and help stop epidemics WASHINGTON: Microsoft researchers are developing autonomous drones that collect mosquitoes to look for early signs that potentially harmful viruses are spreading,

raised a need to understand its role in epidemics better. Two rare sergroups of the bacteria, Tarassovi and Djasmin, were found responsible for the recent outbreak.

which allowed the team in Guinea to assess this vaccine in the middle of an epidemic"."""Our hope is that this vaccine will now help bring this epidemic to an end

and be available for the inevitable future Ebola epidemics, "his statement said. The medical charity Doctors without Borders (MSF),

which has led the fight against Ebola in West Africa, is now calling for VSV-ZEBOV to be rolled out to the other centres of the outbreak, Liberia and Sierra leone,

In addition to serving low-resource or remote areas, the researchers noted that intrinsic wireless connectivity can serve epidemic-related studies,

of which are at high risk for virus-related epidemics. And, given the incredibly high success rates of the clinical trials so far, it can only be hoped that this lifesaving device is put to good use as soon as humanly possible. a

The continued threat of pandemics such as H1n1 swine flu and emerging infectious diseases such as Ebola makes vaccine development and mass vaccination a priority for global healthcare.

This kind of gene transfer might well have been involved in a cholera epidemic that hit Southeast asia in the early 1990s

and preventing the next epidemic.""It is a game changer because there was nothing that could protect people against Ebola no drug,

turned this germ into a pandemic. The industry could argue all it wanted that listeners didn't have the right to make copies

John-Arne Røttingen, Director of the Division of Infectious disease Control at the Norwegian Institute of Public health, also noted in THE WHO's statement that it was this strategy in particular that has allowed for them to follow the dispersed epidemic in Guinea

and efforts to contain the Ebola epidemic in west Africa have been hampered by this slow and complex diagnostic test. aboratory results can sometimes take days to return.

Types A and B cause seasonal flu epidemics. Influenza a viruses are broken further down into subtypes based in part on their surface proteins,

and stop epidemics One potential use for drones that you might not have thought about is preventing the spread of disease.

and epidemics before they begin to spread. To do this, they're developing software that will be able to quickly

Getting advance warning of a potential epidemic is crucial in stopping or limiting it. Vaccines and health clinics can be up and running earlier

"The ability to predict an epidemic would be huge,"Douglas Norris, a professor of molecular microbiology and immunology at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public health in Maryland, told Linn.

Although there was a glimmer of hope for an end in sight to the Ebola epidemic these countries were reported to be on the brink of a major food crisis.

FAO and WFP stated that the Ebola epidemic has caused a significant shock to the food

leading the safe, effective technology to be approved by WHO through its prequalification process for use in infants,

"But epidemics will return when rising numbers of unprotected newborns become a larger proportion of the total population over time.

were struck regularly by meningitis A epidemics in which sudden onset of symptoms could rapidly lead to death or permanent disability.

when an epidemic wave infected more than 250,000 people and killed over 25,000 in just a few months.

"But we cannot yet declare a win on meningitis epidemics in Sub-saharan africa. If we rest on our laurels

meningitis epidemics will return in a major way in the years to come. Elimination of meningitis epidemics will require meningitis belt countries'political commitment to complete the mass campaigns

and introduce the vaccine in the Expanded Programme on Immunization. Then and only then will we win the battle against meningitis. a

Simplified test to test novel viruses for risk of human infection Triggered by epidemics such as SARS and Ebola,

"The database has allowed us to assess the national burden of HIV infection through vertical transmission throughout the HIV/AIDS epidemic

The Ebola epidemic in West Africa underscores an urgent need for rapid diagnostics; quick identification and patient isolation can benefit the sick and the healthy.

The epidemic has killed nearly 9, 000 people over the last year, mainly in the three worst-affected West african nations.

Two examples of new diseases introduced into the swine industry include theinfluenza A virus subtype H1n1 and Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus.
