Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mali, Mauritania, Niger and Senegal: Heavy Rains and Floods Appeal no. 20 2003; Operations Update no. 1 Objective 1: Provide temporary shelters to 1, 800 affected beneficiaries 300 families ; . One tarpaulin per family was given to 150 families which were identified as the most affected in Kaedi and Aleg. Objective 2: To repair the damaged dykes in the Kaedi region. Volunteers distributed 2, 000 bags of clay to beneficiaries for the repair of the damaged dykes in Kaedi. Objective 3: To provide insecticide treated mosquito nets in order to prevent the malaria risks. In Aleg and Kaedi 300 insecticide treated mosquito nets have been distributed to 150 families. Objective 4: To identify and train community agents to sanitize the areas and purify the water in the wells. In Atar region, ten voluntary hygienists have been recruited and trained; they have been issued with wheelbarrows, shovels and rakes to organize sensitization sessions on basic sanitation and hygiene in different parts of the city. Chlorine tablets have been distributed to purify water from wells. Objective 5: To identify and train agents in water purification in Nouakchott, Atar, Kaedi and Aleg. In Nouakchott, 12 volunteers have been trained as trainers on WatSan1 and knowledge sharing with their respective branches in Atar, Aleg and Kaedi. A nutritional survey was conducted by WFP, Ministry of Health and Food Security Ministry in Aftout region, southern Mauritania in September 2003. The survey revealed high malnutrition rates as a result of the floods, which has necessitated a sixth objective to be added to the operations of the Mauritanian Red Crescent. The survey showed: High malnutrition rate of 20.1% among boys and 17.3% among girls aged 12-23 months. General chronic malnutrition rate of 29.1% among the population. The Italian government donated EUR 250, 000 to the Mauritanian Red Crescent to carry out food security operations in the most affected regions of Gorgol and Guidimaka by establishing community feeding centres. The proposed operation will be directly linked to the 2004 plan of action which focuses on developing and strengthening the capacity of the national society. More update on this additional objective will be provided in the next Operations Update. Objective 6: Ensure food security in the north east regions of Gorgol, and north of Guidimaka. Expected results Daily meals of porridge are provided to 1, 250 malnourished under-fives. Daily dry rations are given to 1, 250 pregnant and breast-feeding women who show signs of malnutrition. Around each centre, 2, 000 persons are sensitized on issues related to health, malnutrition, hygiene and sanitation. Training on management of community feeding centres is provided to 50 women. Each nutrition centre produces its own vegetables, cereals and rear small farm animals. Each nutrition centre is well equipped to finance part of its own costs in 2005. Mortality rate due to malnutrition is reduced in the target areas. Results The national society, in collaboration with the Federation, the French Red Cross and Italian Red Cross, gave priority to the assistance of the most affected provinces in the northern part of the country. Assistance has been focused on Atar province and in the South in Gorgol and Brakna provinces and amiloride. Rimantadine shares the antiviral spectrum of activity of amantadine. Cell culture studies have shown that low concentrations of rimantadine i.e., less than 1 mcg mL ; produce an inhibitory action against most strains of influenza A, including H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2. Some strains of avian influenza A H5N1 ; have been susceptible to rimantadine; other strains, including influenza A H5N1 ; isolated from patients in Asia during 2004 and 2005, have been resistant. In cell culture systems, the 50% inhibitory concentration of rimantadine for influenza A viruses ranges from 4 ng mL mcg mL depending on the assay protocol, size of the virus inoculum, influenza A strain, and the cell type used. By plaque inhibition, the 50% inhibitory concentration of rimantadine or amantadine for influenza A viruses ranges from 0.01 to less than 1 mcg mL. The precise relationship between in vitro susceptibility of influenza A virus to rimantadine and clinical response to therapy with the drug has not been determined. Results of several in vitro studies indicate that rimantadine is more active on a weight basis than amantadine. 4 AHFS DRUG INFORMATION 2005. Acknowledgments.

Whether and which genetic factors affect human longevity is unclear. This study assesses the association between the 2 allele of apolipoprotein E APOE ; , a putative longevity gene, and extremely old age. This study is based on all centenarians living in Finland in 1991. Subjects were 179 persons 28 men and 151 women ; aged 100 years and older response rate, 97% ; . The percentages of 2-allele carriers in persons aged 100 to 101, 102 to 103, and 104 years and older were 9% 10 117 ; , 21% 9 42 ; , and 25% 5 20; gender-adjusted p for trend .01 ; , respectively. The effect was particularly strong in women: 8% 100 ; , 18% 6 33 ; , and 28% 5 18; p for trend .01 ; by age group, respectively. Low cell numbers prevented clear conclusions being drawn for men. Seventeen percent 30 179 ; of the adult Finnish population were carriers of the 4 allele, a figure lower than expected, and stable by age group. Carriers of the 2 allele of APOE might be predisposed to reach extremely old age and endep.
Long-term care facilities should develop contingency plans to start ajantadine prophylaxis rapidly.4 Options include obtaining physician orders in advance e.g., each fall. Other problems related to depression include forgetfulness, loss of interest in sex, avoiding people, not eating properly, not washing, crying or feeling like crying for no apparent reason, and abuse of drugs or alcohol and ascorbic. DISCUSSION It is well established that antibiotic treatment alters the resident microbiota of the GI tract. Colonization resistance is then reduced, and the colonization by "foreign" microbes can occur more readily 34 ; . Translocation from the GI tract to the mesenteric lymph nodes, spleen, or liver occurs.

Thus, low levels of n-3 fatty acids in the plasma may be a risk factor for cognitive impairment and or dementia. We made an investigation of the relationship between the plasma level of n-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA ; and 4 cognitive performances, i.e. Mini-Mental State Examination MMSE ; , clock drawing test CDT ; , clinical dementia rating CDR ; , frontal assessment battery FAB ; on 98 elderly subjects living in a local community 77.57.8; yrs, n 22 for male; 78.16.6 yrs , n 76 for female ; , as part of a community prevalence study of dementia. Plasma level of DHA and EPA was measured by gas chromatographymass spectrometry. The plasma level of EPA, but not DHA was reduced in the cognitive impaired subjects assessed by CDR F 1, 96 ; 5.92 , P 0.016 ; . Moreover, plasma EPA in the dementia group the FAB score less than 13 ; was significantly lower than those in the normal group FAB score more than 14; t 2.16, P 0.033 ; . These results indicate that the association between the low plasma level of EPA and cognitive deficits was found in the community prevalence study as well as the case control study as previous reports and chlorthalidone.

However, there are two drugs amantadine and rimantadine that can be used to treat some types of influenza infection. When taken within 48 hours after the onset of illness, these drugs can reduce the duration of fever and other symptoms and allows flu sufferers to return to their daily routines more quickly. Both of these drugs are only available by prescription. Rimantadine is a derivative of the drug amantadine. Amantadine, however, is more likely to cause side effects such as lightheadedness and inability to sleep more often than does rimantadine. Facts about Pneumococcal Disease for Adults What is pneumococcal disease? Pneumococcal disease is an infection caused by a type of bacteria called Streptococcus pneumoniae. When these bacteria invade the lungs, they cause the most common kind of bacterial pneumonia and can then invade the bloodstream bacteremia ; and or the tissues and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord meningitis ; . The infection kills thousands of people in the United States each year, most of them under two years of age or over 65 years of age. What are the symptoms? The symptoms of pneumococcal pneumonia include high fever, cough with production of mucus, shaking chills, breathlessness, and chest pain that increases with breathing and coughing. Changes in level of consciousness or the presence of confusion are symptoms commonly found in older adults. However, these symptoms are not always evident. The symptoms of pneumococcal meningitis include stiff neck, fever, mental confusion and disorientation, and photophobia visual sensitivity to light ; . The symptoms of pneumococcal bacteremia may include a combination of the symptoms of pneumonia and meningitis, along with arthritis and fever. What can I do to prevent pneumococcal disease? There is a vaccine to protect against pneumococcal disease. The vaccine is safe and effective. A single dose of the pneumococcal vaccine protects against 23 different types of Streptococcus pneumoniae bacteria that are responsible for causing greater than 90% of all pneumococcal disease cases. Who should get pneumococcal vaccine? People who are 65 years of age or older. People two years of age or older who have a chronic illness such as cardiovascular or pulmonary lung ; diseases, sickle cell disease, diabetes, alcoholism, chronic liver diseases, or cerebrospinal fluid CSF ; leaks. People with weakened immune systems due to illnesses such as HIV infection, AIDS, chronic renal. Have been linked to a common mechanism involving the NMDA receptor. It has been suggested that opioid-resistant pain and tolerance to opioids from chronic exposure are two sides of the same coin.21 As such, NMDA blockade should be effective in reversing tolerance and in treating neuropathic pain. Considerable evidence is mounting to support this view, based on studies in laboratory animals, but clinical results have been conflicting, and treatment is limited by side effects such as psychotomimetic symptoms or seizures. Clinically available NMDA blockers are dextromethorphan, amantadine, methadone, and ketamine. Low doses of dextromethorphan 90 mg day ; showed no efficacy in neuropathic pain22; however, dextromethorphan in high doses 400 mg day ; was analgesic in patients with diabetic neuropathy, but not with postherpetic neuralgia.23 Both methadone and propoxyphene exert NMDA antagonism and may be useful in treating neuropathic pain. Some studies have shown that very high doses of morphine, fentanyl, and meperidine block the NMDA receptor. Perhaps this explains why high doses of opioids are often required for neuropathic pain.24 Along the same lines, combinations of opioids and NMDA blockers may prevent tolerance. Patients with chronic pain used less daily morphine and needed to escalate their morphine dose less when treated with morphine plus dextromethorphan compared with morphine alone.25 New combinations of dextromethorphan and morphine may be available soon to serve just this purpose. Opioids such as methadone and propoxyphene have similar receptor activity profiles. Assessing response to opioids Responsiveness to opioids can only be assessed with a titration trial. Simply prescribing the medication and assuming that pain will disappear is unrealistic and poses the risk of either undershooting or overshooting the side-effectfree window of analgesia. A successful opioid trial should result in significantly less pain in the short term, and in increased function or improvement in quality of life in the long term. Be concerned if a patient says that an opioid "takes the edge off" or something similar. Such statements may indicate a contradiction. Poor swallowing. While it can respond somewhat to medication adjustment, therapy is still the most effective treatment as follows: Evaluation by a speech therapist Modified barium swallowing Speech therapy techniques Exercising swallow muscles through regular speaking, singing and techniques like the Art of Moving exercise program Speech changes - softening of the voice which is corrected as follows: Speech therapy, voice exercises Lee Silverman Voice Therapy Art of Moving exercise classes Cognitive Changes 50% of patients experience some form of cognitive impairment. There are difficulties with task attention, speed of mental processing, problem solving, memory, language abnormalities, and visual spatial difficulties. Dementia is the severe form of cognitive change. The recommended actions are: Exercise the brain and body Keep a diary, appointment book Stay social Provide low fat diets rich in B12 and folate Treat depression Consider Alzheimer's medications Depression- can be seen at any stage, but because it correlates with disease progression and severity, it may be considered a "late complication". Antidepressants are the key to dealing with this issue. Psychosis more common during hospitalization, illness and at night.
