influenza h5n1 :: Article Creator First Penguins Die In Antarctic Of Deadly H5N1 Bird Flu Strain At least one king penguin is suspected to have died from bird flu in the Antarctic. If confirmed, it will be the first of the species killed by the highly contagious H5N1 virus in the wild. Researchers have previously raised alarm about "one of the largest ecological disasters of modern times" if bird flu reached remote Antarctic penguin populations. The birds are currently clustering together for breeding season, meaning the disease could rip through entire colonies if it continues to spread through the region. King penguins are the world's second-largest penguin, at about 3ft tall, and can live for more than 20 years in the wild. The suspected case was recorded on South Georgia island in the Antarctic region, according to the latest update from the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (Scar). A gentoo penguin was also suspecte...

immunization guide :: Article Creator Parents' Guide To Vaccines Schedules: Keeping Children Safe By YOUR HEALTH Just before children reach 2 years old, they could already be potentially exposed to up to 14 serious diseases. That's 14 diseases that could be fatal or have devastating effects that will affect them throughout life. That's where vaccines come into play and the protective shield they provide literally last from cradle to grave. It is important for parents to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's recommended immunization schedule to protect infants from 14 such diseases before their second birthday. The CDC sets the recommended immunization schedule as part of its efforts to promote and protect the health of everyone—from the time they are born until adulthood—against vaccine preventable diseases. Not only is CDC's recommended immunization schedule safe, but it has proven to be effective in pr...

flu symptoms loss of taste :: Article Creator Coronavirus Smell Loss 'different From Cold And Flu' By Michelle RobertsHealth editor, BBC News online The loss of smell that can accompany coronavirus is unique and different from that experienced by someone with a bad cold or flu, say European researchers who have studied the experiences of patients. When Covid-19 patients have smell loss it tends to be sudden and severe. And they usually don't have a blocked, stuffy or runny nose - most people with coronavirus can still breathe freely. Another thing that sets them apart is their "true" loss of taste. It's not that their taste is somewhat impaired because their sense of smell is out of action, say the researchers in the journal Rhinology. Coronavirus patients with loss of taste really cannot tell the difference between bitter or sweet. Experts suspect this is because the pandemic virus affects the nerve c...

flu shot and breastfeeding :: Article Creator Can Children Get A Flu Shot? Every year the flu is different, and every year the vaccine has to be tailored to that moving target of the flu. Because the flu is so pervasive when it goes around and it can be so dangerous, this vaccine, although it gets a bad rep, saves lives. A person can either get a flu shot as an injectable vaccine, or the vaccine can be delivered directly into the nose. It's a small droplet of about 0.2 milliliters. The youngest of the young, who are potentially at the highest risk, are not able to get the flu shot. It's only approved for children aged six months and up. Those babies rely on everyone else getting the flu shot. Now, there's an interesting circumstance that we can talk about. Moms who are breastfeeding who get the flu shot transmit the antibodies to their babies. That means that when a mother gets a flu shot, she's protecting her infant. In fact, e...
