SWINE FLU: ABOUT ALL
|
What is Swine Flu
 Swine flu is an infection caused by a virus. It’s named for a virus that pigs can affect pigs. People usually do not get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen. The virus is contagious and can spread from human to human. Symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Swine flu also known as swine influenza, hog flu and pig flu. In 2009 the media labeled as "swine flu" the flu caused by 2009’s new strain of swine-origin A/H1N1 pandemic virus just as it had earlier dubbed as "avian flu" flu caused by the recent Asian-linage HPAI (High Pathogenic Avian Influenza) H5N1 strain that is still endemic in many wild bird species in several countries. Swine flu is a new influenza virus causing illness in people. This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, have reported people sick with this new virus. This virus is spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread. Although symptoms have generally proved mild, a small number of patients will develop more serious illness. Many of these people have other underlying health conditions, such as heart or lung disease, that put them at increased risk. On June 11, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) signaled that a global pandemic of novel influenza A (H1N1) was underway by raising the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6. This action was a reflection of the spread of the new H1N1 virus, not the severity of illness caused by the virus. At the time, more than 70 countries had reported cases of novel influenza A (H1N1) infection and there were ongoing community level outbreaks of novel H1N1 in multiple parts of the world.
Swine Flu Symptoms Usually symptoms of swine flu have generally proved mild. However a small number of patients may develop more serious illness. Many of these people have other underlying health conditions, such as heart or lung disease, that put them at increased risk.
Flu symptoms can include:
· Fever
· Cough
· Headache
· Weakness and fatigue
· Aching muscles and joints
· Sore throat
· Runny nose
As with any sort of influenza, how bad and how long the symptoms last will depend on treatment and the patient’s individual circumstances.
Most cases reported in India have been relatively mild, with those affected starting to recover within a week. Persons with swine flu infection should be considered potentially contagious for up to 7 days following illness onset. Persons who continue to be ill longer than 7 days after illness onset should be considered potentially contagious until symptoms have resolved. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.
A confirmed case of swine flu infection is a person with an acute respiratory illness with laboratory confirmed swine flu infection by one or more of the following tests:
· Real-time RT-PCR
· Viral culture
Prevention and Precautions for Swine Flu Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through droplets created while coughing or sneezing by a person infected with swine flu. Infected person may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven or more days after becoming sick.
Stay away from people who display signs of swine flu. DO NOT TOUCH YOUR MOUTH AND NOSE WITH YOUR HANDS. YOU MAY TOUCH SURFACES ON WHICH A PERSON MAY HAVE EARLIER SNEEZED OR COUGHED. WASH & SANITIZE YOUR HANDS FREQUENTLY
Information on the effectiveness of facemasks and respirators for decreasing the risk of swine fluis extremely limited. Thus, it is difficult to assess their potential effectiveness in decreasing the risk of swine flu (H1N1) virus transmission. In the absence of clear scientific data, the interim recommendations below have been developed on the basis of public health judgment, the historical use of facemasks and respirators in other settings for preventing transmission of influenza and other respiratory viruses.
· You can help prevent the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses like influenza by covering your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
· Washing your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. You can also use alcohol-based hand cleaners.
· Avoiding touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
· Trying to avoid close contact with sick people.
· Staying home from work or school if you are sick.
The impact of swine flu is becoming more severe everyday. If you suspect you have caught it, it recommended that you stay at home to avoid infecting others. The virus typically spreads from coughs and sneezes or by touching contaminated surfaces and then touching the nose or mouth. Symptoms are similar to those of seasonal flu, and may include fever, sneezes, sore throat, coughs, headache, and muscle or joint pains
Because swine flu is a new virus, most people have no natural immunity. People older than age 50 are getting swine flu at far lower rates than younger people, which may be an evidence older people may have some immunity from prior exposures to a similar virus.
How Does Swine Flu Spread?  Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through droplets created while coughing or sneezing by a person infected with the influenza-A (H1N1) commonly known as swine flu. Infected person may be able to infect others beginning one day before symptoms develop and up to seven or more days after becoming sick. Follow simple steps as cough etiquette (covering mouth & nose with handkerchief or tissue paper while coughing), stay at least an arm’s length from persons coughing or sneezing, avoid gathering and wash your hands frequently. Try to stay in good general health. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids and eat nutritious food. How To Protect Yourself from swine flu
 · Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it. · Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective. · Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way. · Try to avoid close contact with people having respiratory illness. · If one gets sick with influenza, one must stay at home, away from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them. However, if one is having any respiratory distress, one should report to a nearby hospital. What should I do if I Identify Swine Flu Symptoms?
People who have traveled from the affected countries in the past ten days and show symptoms of influenza A (H1N1, swine flu) like fever, cough, sore throat and difficulty in breathing should immediately contact the telephone number given below or the nearby Government Hospital.
IMPORTANT CONTACT NUMBERS:
Outbreak Monitoring Cell (Control Room, NICD): 011-23921401
Websites: www.mohfw.nic.in and www.nicd.nic.in
Steps being taken by Government of India to prevent outbreak of swine flu in India:
· The strategy is basically to detect early cases among the passengers coming from the affected countries either by air, road or ship.
· The Government has launched a massive mass media campaign to inform and educate people on dos and donts.
· Sharing information with public through media.
Two Things in Your Home Can Reduce Swine Flu Infection by 30%
You may be getting concerned at the news of the swine flu virus spreading rapidly throughout the country. There have been around 280 confirmed cases of swine flu in India as of 17th July.
It is important to understand how swine flu or for that matter any flu spreads. Contrary to the popular belief, swine flu is not air borne. The two main ways it spreads: first if someone who’s infected sneezes or coughs and you come in contact with the virus in the air. The other is if you touch an object which may have have the virus and you touch your eyes, mouth or nose.
It’s common for people to touch their nose, eyes and mouth. Most of these actions are sub-conscious like licking your tongue for flipping pages of a book or a magazine. As soon as you feel an itch you immediately rub or scratch your eyes.
Remember the virus can be anywhere - a door knob, a remote control, phones, computer keyboards, etc. The idea is not to get paranoid and stop using them. A simple task can protect you from infection.
Two things in your home - soap and water can reduce the chance of infection by 30%. All you need to do is keep washing your hand with soap and water frequently. And most importantly, stop touching your face. Make it a conscious effort to observe and stop. Another side effect of not touching your face too often - your skin looks better!
How to Identify Swine Flu?
Swine flu Vs Common Cold
What are the typical symptoms of Swine Flu and how do you differentiate it from the common cold or the regular flu?
The swine flu and the flu look identical to most people. Both have similar symptoms such as
· Fever
· Headache
· Cough
· Sore Throat
· Body Aches
However in some cases the swine flu may cause more discomfort. Patients could complain of nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, which are not typical symptoms of Influenza or Flu. People over 65, children under age 8 and anyone with a chronic medical condition are more susceptible to the virus.

avian flu

 ALL ABOUT AVIAN FLU
One of the most dreaded epidemic and potensial pandemic is again making news. This contagious disease of animals has led to death of millions of wild and domestic birds. The major concern worlwide is that of disastrous bird flu outbreak in humans, if the virus mutates into a form which can spread easily from man to man. The ability to mutate quickly poses a hinderence for vaccine preparation and is a hurricane task for the human immune system.
The cause of bird flu is Influenza A virus which has 16 H subtypes and 9 N subtypes. Among them H5 and H7 subtypes are known to cause highly pathogenic disease form.
The illness develops within 1-5 days of exposure to virus. The symptoms in birds may range from ruffled features, a drop in egg production to highly pathogenic form including damage to internal organs and ultimately death.
The symptoms in humans include cough, fever, sorethroat, muscle ache. Complication are viral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress.
Mode of transmision of bird flu:- Migratory waterfowl (natural carriers) shed virus in their dropping, salvia, etc...
The domestic poultry (chicken, turkey, geese) becomes infected through condaminated water, feed or soil. Pigs are especially vulnerable to avian and human viruses. So they serve as ideal medium in which the virus can exchange genes.
Bird flu spread quickly and fataly within domestic poultry and is transported through farm equipments, tractors, cages, etc...
The open air markets, bird smuggling, selling and butchering of sick birds are other prime factors for disease spread.
Avian flu generally doesnot affect humans but in 1997 six persons in Hongkong died due to bird flu. Laboratory confirmed human cases have been reported in four countries - Combodia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam. The virus is now considered endemic in these countries.
Humans become infected via direct contact with infected bird or contaminated surface like feather, droppings, saliva, etc...
The young children and healthy adults havebeen mostly affected although all age groups are affected. Man to man transmission is not yet confirmed.
Magnitude of risk is alarmingly high due to characteristics of Influenza A subtypes.
. Direct transmission - H5N1 virus can directly jump from birds to humans.
. Virulence- Fatality noted in 100 percentage of infected birds and morethan half of infected persons.
. Genetic mutation - Virus has a particular capacity to combine with human flu virus and thereby form a new viral strain which can easily spread from humans to humans. Such a posible undesirable situation would evoke a pandemic.
. Rapid spread- Infected birds amounting to millions have succumbed to death often within 48 hours.
In Ayurvedic perspective it can be considered as ‘Sankramika Roga’ which spread through touch, inhalation etc...
In the broader sense it can be visualized as ‘Janapada Vidhwamsa Karana’ (causing destruction or death of large population) resulting from Adharma ( unrightous behaviour) or ashuchi (unhygenic conditions)
The Bhuta apghata (assault by micro organism) leads to Ojoksaya which implies diminition of essence of body elements. Therefore remedial measures must start from upliftment of body immunity ‘Vyadhiksmatva’ - the ability of the body of prevent development of deseases and resist the develpoed desease.
This can achieved through administration of herbal medicines purifactory therapies, favourable diet and regimen.
Preventive measures include high standards of hygiene, uses of soap and warmwater to wash hand after handling rawpoultry.
. Clean and disinfect surfaces (cutting boards, vessel) in contact with poultry products.
. Since the virus is destroyed by heat, thorough cooking (upto 70 degree celsius) renders cooked poultry harmless for consumption. However avoid use of raw or undercooked eggs. All parts of the poultry should be cooked well (no pink parts, no running yolk).
Juices from raw poultry and poultry products should never be allowed during food preparation to touch or mix with item meant for raw consumption.
The absence of effective vaccine and limited production and high price of the currently used medicine (Tami flu and Relenza) instigates us to give more attention towards preventive measures.

 REAL CHANGE, REAL RESULT
- For five years, IIM Kozhikode has set an example for dalit and adivasi empowerment,
ALL THOSE who oppose caste-based reservations on the grounds of a dilution of merit might find themselves forced to a rethink by the Centre of Excellence at the Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode. A joint venture of the IIMK and the Kerala government’s SC/ST department, the Centre’s achievements have made it a model for other states and centres of higher education.
After his BA, K. Dilraj, attained the life ambition of most young men from his tribe: a job as a lower division clerk under the ST quota. Five years later, Dilraj, now in his late 20s, is ICICI-Lombard’s Regional Manager in Chennai, and his monthly earnings are about to cross Rs 1 lakh. Dilraj’s is not an isolated case, however. For five years now, the Centre’s five-month Certificate Course for Professional Development (CCPD) has been selecting disadvantaged Dalit and Adivasi youngsters from across Kerala, and providing them the training to make up for their cramping lack of exposure and resources. They are then turned out to take on the world, reservation or no reservation.
According to programme director DD Namboodiri, the CCPD has already supported, groomed and empowered 217 SC and ST youngsters, and 40 more are waiting in the wings. At least 35 percent of the CCPD’S alumni are already with top MNCs,national corporates and other organisations, while some even run their own companies. Thirty-seven percent were inspired to return for higher studies. The transformation, for many, has been amazing. Dilraj, who was among the first batch in 2002, says: “It changed everything — my personality, exposure, skills, outlook. My confidence really went up, and I had a go at the CAT. I made it, and here I am.” VM Sreejith, who runs a bio-informatics company, says the Centre re-moulded him. “I was always withdrawn — I had no self-confidence and I could not even meet people without stammering. My ambitions were no different from those of anyone else from my background.
But the Centre of Excellence transformed me.” Other alumni include people like MM Risha — daughter of a Dalit labourer, motivated to pursue higher studies after the programme and now with an MNC in Hyderabad — and Sarita Velayudhan, a young Dalit woman from a modest Kerala home, now an executive with a US-based firm in Kochi. 
SC and ST communities are 10 percent of Kerala’s population, but their numbers in private corporations are negligible, obviously because they lack soft skills and exposure,” Namboodiri says.
``We focus mainly on communication, IT skills, and personality and entrepreneurship development, but touches upon almost every other aspect the disadvantaged SC/ST student may have missed out on.”
The entry criterion is graduation, but most alumni have higher qualifications. Apart from the IIM-K faculty, guest professors from places such as France, the US and Indonesia also take classes here. Each week, the faculty ensures that students from the Centre interact closely with the IIM-K’s MBA students, to bring down mental barriers and boost confidence.
The Centre is to become an autonomous institution next year, with support from IIM-K, the National Institute of Advanced Studies and the Tata Institute of Social Science. It will then be called the Centre for Research and Education for Social Transformation, and will focus on research, training, and advocacy for marginalised communities.
Most IIMs have three-week preparatory classes for disadvantaged students. But what is really more important is removing the barriers to their entry and giving them the competitive edge. That is what the Centre of Excellence is proving now.

A `rags-to-rubber'
struggle for Kani tribals
Retnakaran Kani is a rich man. He belongs to a rare group of tribal nouveau riche who have made their fortune from rubber. Kani owns 180 rubber trees which earn him an average Rs 7,000 a month.
`Imagine me ten years ago.., the trees were planted but I had to wait for 7 years before the rubber came. In those days I was having no breakfast, tapioca for lunch and gruel for supper. I sold medicinal plants and tuber crops. Today my family can have puttu, dosa, rice or anything. I can call up a friend in Dubai with this mobile phone,'' he exclaims showing off his new acquisition from Nokia.
Retnakaran is one among the 3,000 families of Kani tribals living in the Njaraneeli forests of Nedumangad taluk in Thiruvananthapuram. These families have benefited from the Tribal Development Rubber Planting Project undertaken by the Central Government's agency Rubber Board. As part of the project, the board has planted the trees selectively on forest land in the possession of the tribal people in several areas of the State.
The 49-year-old Kani has no intention of wasting his new wealth. He plans to save money and send his three daughters to college and get them jobs. A fellow tribesman, Pushkaran of Peppara, earns much less. ``I manage to sell rubber for about Rs 2,000 on an average a month and also run an autorickshaw. I have to look after a ten-member family,'' says he. But then income is erratic for him. It all depends on the health of the trees that one gets to grow.
Alcoholism
Not many others of the tribe are as responsible as Retnakaran and Pushkaran. They spend big chunks of their earning on drinking. ``Eight out of ten men in our colony drink thanks to the illicit brewers. Even young boys have taken to this habit,'' says Sadasivan Kani, a CPM member of the Peringammala panchayat. Sadasivan appeared to be the most well-off among the three tribals and has a spacious tile-roofed house. He has a direct-to-home TV connection and a CD player.
However, most tribesmen are not used to saving their money or planning for the future. The result: they often run seriously short of cash with nothing to pawn off. ``That was how some of them even began to lease out their trees to non-tribesmen,'' says Easwaran Kani, a respected tribal doctor of Njaraneeli. Leasing out 50 trees for a year may fetch the tribal a quick money of over Rs 10,000. The business savvy non-tribesmen tap the maximum yield from the trees for a specific period. According to the doctor, about 10 per cent of his tribesmen resorted to this kind of fund-raising. Bad news The Rubber Board is not willing to admit the bad news as this is against the declared aims of the TDRP project . ``It is a fact that some people do lease out trees. But you cannot generalise this as a trend. The positive side of the project far outweighs such stray incidents,'' Mr T Sreekumar, development officer at the Rubber Board office in Nedumangad.
`You should not forget the changes that rubber has brought to the lifestyle of the tribal folk. This project is one of the most meticulously executed tribal welfare projects in the whole country,'' claims Sreekumar.
Deadly mix
Good income has certainly brought more income into the lives of many tribals. But it has also become a deadly mix for many others who resort to drinking. It has had a debilitating effect on their work and made them lazy. ``It is not just the arrack. You will be surprised to see how many fathers turn up for the parent-teacher association meeting of our school. It is an all-woman affair,'' says Noushad who is a member of the Government UP School PTA at Njaraneeli.
`The tribals have been forced to lead the life of a non-tribal with the arrival of development and money from rubber,'' says Mr Viswanathan Nair, former director of the Kerala Institute for Research, Training and Development Studies for Scheduled Castes & Tribes.

I did saw retnakaran while reading the feature. the writer, gopakumar, studied the serious problem, facing by the rural farmers. following the path of urban culture, they are ruining their own life. this is the right time someone should take responsibility to create awareness among these people...I think there are lakh of Retnakaran's in Kerala...
Kudos to Santosh and Gopakumar for getting together for reminding us some serious issue.
Red salute... Murali, Mumbai.

really an inspiring story.
jobless indian youth must imitate kani
-
this is a story that generates positive thought.tribes need to be uplifted,their lifestyles need to be improved...the govt is ofcourse doing a good job thru such projects...........BUT......... as is rightly pointed by the writer.......how many are adept at managing this hard earned money...saving&planning for life....as long as this does not happen....will there be the desired progress ... earning money is really good,but managing it judiciously like ratnakaran kani is definitely the message.......

realy it is interesting
nice story
