Mosquito season: How to identify symptoms of West Nile virus | Just The FAQs

disease No Comments »

West Nile virus is the leading cause of mosquito-borne diseases in the U.S., with the highest concentration in the Midwest. Here’s how to tell if you’re infected.

Most people infected with the virus suffer few, if any symptoms. But some develop high fevers and deadly brain swelling. The disease spiked here last year, killing nine Iowans and seriously sickening another 95. That was the highest death toll since the virus first appeared in Iowa in 2001. In 2017, Iowa saw just 12 cases, including two deaths.

The disease tends to increase in late summer and early fall, when the type of mosquito that carries the virus is most prevalent.

Hand, foot and mouth disease is a common viral infection that affects mostly infants and young children. Infection is characterized by a rash on the hands and feet, and painful blisters inside the mouth. Outbreaks typically occur in daycare setting, during summer and early fall.
Most cases are caused by coxsackievirus A, serotype 16, but other enteroviruses can also be the cause. Notably, enterovirus 71, EV-71, is responsible for a more severe form of the disease. The viruses are non-enveloped, and contain a single plus-strand RNA.
An infected person may shed virus in respiratory droplets, oral and nasal secretions, blister fluid, and stool. The disease can spread through direct or indirect contacts with the infected. Patients are most contagious during the first week of illness, but can remain infectious for several weeks, even without symptoms.
After being inhaled or ingested, the virus replicates in the throat, tonsils, and lymphoid tissue of the small intestine. From there, it spreads to regional lymph nodes, and then further to various organs including the skin, heart, liver, and central nervous system.
Incubation period is 3 to 6 days. Infection typically starts with a low-grade fever and flu-like symptoms. Painful mouth sores appear a couple of days after the onset of fever, most often in the back of the throat. Skin rash commonly occurs on the hands, soles of the feet, and around the mouth, but can be anywhere on the body. The rash can be flat, raised or vesicular. Skin lesions are typically not itchy or painful.
Rarely, complications involving the central nervous system such as aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, or polio-like paralysis, may occur, especially with enterovirus 71, which has a significantly higher mortality rate.
Diagnosis is usually made based on symptoms. Antibody or PCR tests may be used to differentiate between coxsackievirus and enterovirus 71.
Hand, foot and mouth disease is usually mild and resolves on its own within 7 to 10 days. Treatment is supportive and includes pain and fever reducers, hydration, oral hygiene and a soft diet. Antiviral drugs may be used to treat infections by EV-71.

Houseplants: How To Detect and Deal With MOSAIC VIRUS

disease No Comments »

Mosaic Virus infects houseplants. Specifically, aroids are prone to be infected by this virus.

There are many Philodendron plants and also Monstera that are infected. Recently there was a wave of Monstera Adansonii with Mosaic Virus. A sign to spot the virus are the leaves.

Initially, most people are happy and think it is variegation. But whenever you are unsure it almost always is the Dasheen Mosaic Virus. Light green streaks along the veins of the plant, distorted growth and leaves that are not unfurling can indicate DsMV.

There is no cure for this virus as of now. Botanists and hobbyists alike recommend to dispose the infected plants to save your houseplant collection or indoor jungle.

A neoplasm (/ˈniː.oʊˌplæzəm, ˈniː.ə-/)[1][2] is a type of abnormal and excessive growth of tissue. The process that occurs to form or produce a neoplasm is called neoplasia. The growth of a neoplasm is uncoordinated with that of the normal surrounding tissue, and persists in growing abnormally, even if the original trigger is removed.[3][4][5] This abnormal growth usually forms a mass, when it may be called a tumor.[6]

ICD-10 classifies neoplasms into four main groups: benign neoplasms, in situ neoplasms, malignant neoplasms, and neoplasms of uncertain or unknown behavior.[7] Malignant neoplasms are also simply known as cancers and are the focus of oncology.

Prior to the abnormal growth of tissue, as neoplasia, cells often undergo an abnormal pattern of growth, such as metaplasia or dysplasia.[8] However, metaplasia or dysplasia does not always progress to neoplasia and can occur in other conditions as well.[3] The word is from Ancient Greek νέος- neo ‘new’ and πλάσμα plasma ‘formation, creation’. A neoplasm can be benign, potentially malignant, or malignant (cancer).[9]

Benign tumors include uterine fibroids, osteophytes and melanocytic nevi (skin moles). They are circumscribed and localized and do not transform into cancer.[8]
Potentially-malignant neoplasms include carcinoma in situ. They are localised, do not invade and destroy but in time, may transform into a cancer.
Malignant neoplasms are commonly called cancer. They invade and destroy the surrounding tissue, may form metastases and, if untreated or unresponsive to treatment, will generally prove fatal.
Secondary neoplasm refers to any of a class of cancerous tumor that is either a metastatic offshoot of a primary tumor, or an apparently unrelated tumor that increases in frequency following certain cancer treatments such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy.
Rarely there can be a metastatic neoplasm with no known site of the primary cancer and this is classed as a cancer of unknown primary origin.
