Many historians have described dysentery as a regularly recurring and not very serious disease. Cholera and smallpox are often described as the most devastating epidemic diseases of that era. But [Helene] Castenbrandt's results beg to differ.
"My study points to dysentery as very epidemic in nature. The disease struck communities extremely hard at times. It flared up quite irregularly and the patterns of transmission differed from one outbreak to the next."
Using Jönköping County as an example, the study clearly shows the vast differences in dysentery mortality within the same county. The pattern of transmission for the three most severe outbreaks in 1773, 1808 and 1857 shows that although the disease spread across almost the entire county, there were some clusters with extremely high mortality. However, the hardest hit parts of the county varied.
The [doctoral] thesis [from the University of Gothenburg] also analyses the reasons behind the presence and disappearance of the disease. The results point to complex links between possible explanations such as sanitary conditions and population concentrations for example in connection with wars.
An understanding of the lessons learned in Europe during this forgotten era could inform modern efforts to address similar issues in the developing world in a manner that is not overwhelmed by donor nation concerns rooted in their own contemporary economic politics rather than the issues that were important historically when the donor nations dealt with similiar issues themselves.
Rabies Situation in Bangladesh & Contribution of LVPEF Device
ReplyDeleteInfected warm blooded animals bear the rabies virus which can be transmitted to humans from these infected warm blooded animals like dogs. After being transmitted in human body, about one month later this virus infects the central nervous system which the ultimate result is death.
When rabies virus reaches central nervous system the symptoms begin to show. This infection is considered untreatable and progresses to a fatal condition within some days. The majority of rabies infected people who have died are from Asia. The main reason of human rabies is dog bites.
The Directorate General of Health Service produced a survey report from Mohakhali Infectious Disease Hospital about Dhaka tribune. In 2006 death from rabies was 167. But the number of deaths rate in 2013 come down to 46.
DGHS provide this vaccine free of 65 health centers all over the country. But this vaccine is not available for people, for this reason some people are deprive from the treatment. This patient purchased the vaccine from outer shop. Each vaccine cost is 500- 700.
A rabies patient must drink fresh water but refuses to do so.
Dr. Hulda Clark recommended a device which is called a zapper and the technical leader is ParaZapper™. It can kill most microbes and bacteria from water and water based environments. The use of this product to help rabies infected patients could save many lives so that research is needed.
If you want to know more about ParaZapper™ this website will really helpful. I like to read this website article.

While this comment is just a little spammy, it has enough useful information and promotes a product in a niche were more publicity is legitimately deserved, so I'm going to make a rare exception and I'm not going to delete it.
