Bubonic Plague Symptoms

Tuberculosis (TB) is as old as humans. It is at least nine thousand years old and is the third oldest disease known to humans. It is the deadliest infectious disease. And is the ninth deadliest disease today. TB is treatable. United Nations has set the goal to end the TB epidemic, that is to reduce TB deaths by 90% and TB incidence by 80%, by 2030 . But India has set the goal to eradicate TB from the country by 2025.  What is TB, what is its prevalence rate, what is its treatment, and what needs to be done to eradicate it. What is TB? TB is a serious bacterial infection which can be life-threatening if not treated. Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacterium causes it. TB usually affects the lungs. But can also affect other organs and tissues such as lymph nodes, spine, brain and nervous system, kidneys and urinary tract, bones and joints, gastrointestinal tract, and less commonly the skin, eyes, and ears.  TB usually s

The Black Death, a pandemic that swept Europe and Asia in 1346 to 1353, killed much of the population, according to History Today. Outbreaks continued to occur every few generations in Europe, the Middle East, Northern Africa and Asia for the next 500 years. Despite its huge impact on human history, exactly what caused the Black Death — the original source of the infectious Yersinia pestis bacteria — has been unclear. A recent study published in Nature used ancient DNA to pinpoint the source of the Black Death, offering insights that could help mitigate current and future pandemics, including COVID-19. A Look Back at the Plague The plague can be transmitted through airborne particles and the bite of infected fleas, which feed on rats that have long been blamed as the source of the Black Death. The plague bacteria first attack the lymphatic system, causing painful swelling of the lymph nodes in the groin, armpits or neck. This stage is called bubonic plague because of the swollen

Hydrocodone and tramadol are both strong opioid prescription pain medicines. ConZip (tramadol) is commonly prescribed to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain that's always present. Hydrocodone is a stronger opioid used to relieve severe pain. Opioids and narcotic pain medicines can lead to opioid use disorder. Therefore, healthcare providers typically aim to prescribe just enough pain relief for your condition. Stronger pain medicines like hydrocodone are usually reserved for when other pain medicines, such as tramadol or codeine, don't work. This article will compare tramadol and hydrocodone based on their side effects, uses, and dosages, as well as which is considered stronger.

These drugs change how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. They can also have "feel-g

(Beth Clifton collage) If pumas learn from the canine chase,  pursuit without being killed might make them more elusive prey CHEYENNE,  Wyoming–– A new Wyoming state law meant to placate frustrated puma hunters who hunt with dogs might actually benefit pumas more. If,  that is,  the hunters and their dog packs obey the law. Wyoming governor Mark Gordon on March 1,  2023 endorsed into law a bill,  SF 178,  which extends the puma hunting season for pack hunters,  even after the puma bag limit has been reached,  by allowing the hunters to continue unleashing their hounds to trail pumas––so long as the pumas are not killed––until the last day of the puma hunting season set by the Wyoming Game & Fish Department. (Beth Clifton photo) Hounding will not end when kill quota is filled "Previously,  once quotas were met,  all pursuits of pumas were immediately halted,"&

Obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, is a misunderstood mental illness despite affecting about one in 50 people – that's about half a million Australians. Our new research shows how long and fraught the path to diagnosis and treatment can be. This initial study showed it takes an average of almost nine years to receive a diagnosis of OCD and about four months to get some form of help. Read more: No, OCD in a pandemic doesn't necessarily get worse with all that extra hand washing What is OCD? OCD affects children, adolescents and adults. About 60% report symptoms before the age of 20. One misconception is that OCD is mild: someone who is extra tidy or likes cleaning. You might have even heard someone say they are "a little bit OCD" while joking about having beautiful stationery. But OCD is not enjoyable. Obsessions are highly distressing and there are repetitive, intrusive thoughts a person with
