Treatment For Malaria

By

Malaria control and elimination requires a multifaceted approach. Right now we have a good set of tools, including insecticide sprays and long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets that help prevent transmission by mosquitoes. But no prevention strategy is 100% effective - there will always be instances of network intrusion. The current WHO-recommended treatment for the majority of malaria cases is artemisinin-based combination therapy (ACT). These drugs, along with diagnostics, are available to treat and in some cases prevent malaria.

Guidelines for the treatment of malaria:

Malaria treatment depends on the type of malaria, as well as the severity of the disease. The World Health Organization's guidelines for treating malaria provide recommendations on topics such as:

* Uncomplicated treatment p. Falciparum malaria

* Treating severe malaria

* Collective drug administration

* .... and more

Health Care and GERD

By
When you swallow anything, that item goes through a tube that connects your mouth to your stomach whether it is a liquid or a solid substance. That bodily throughway is called an esophagus. When that area gets irritated, you can suffer from more serious medical issues including a condition called GERD—Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease. If you have symptoms similar to heartburn or acid indigestion that is not caused by eating certain types of spicy food, you may have GERD. Also known as acid reflux, GERD can cause serious damage to your esophagus over time. The burping, heartburn, and spitting up associated with GERD are the result of acidic stomach contents moving backward into the esophagus (called reflux), according to KidsHealth.org. This can happen because the muscle that connects the esophagus with the stomach (the esophageal sphincter) relaxes at the wrong time or doesn't properly close. Many people have reflux regularly and it's not usually a cause for concern. But with GE...

Health Care and Financial Wellness

By
How is your financial wellness? Are you living paycheck to paycheck as most Americans, or have you been fortunate as a steward of your resources to stash some cash for the rainy days? Do you have enough stored away for a few raindrops, or are you prepared like Noah to last through the flood and until the waters recede? That would be a very long time, and require a good portfolio of financial stability. The evidence is piling up: Chronic stress is linked to chronic medical issues. More than 200 medical research studies have documented the connection between stress and costly mental and physical diseases, according to Lynn Gresham, former senior editor of Employee Benefit News. The growing awareness of the link between high stress and poor health is prompting employers to take a more holistic approach to employee wellness, addressing workers’ financial health as well as physical health. This is because a primary cause of employee stress is concern about personal finances. Ms. Gresham wri...

Health Care and Teen Pregnancy

By
Learning that you are going to have a baby in most cases is celebrated as wonderful news to the parents, family members, and friends, unless you are an unwed teenage girl. In those cases, the stigma and fear of the unknown with bringing a new life into the world can be almost devastating to the psyche and emotions of the pregnant teen. However, teen pregnancy is still a major health care issue, not only in the US, but around the world. Girls having sex with boys includes the risk of getting pregnant. Health officials worry about teen births because adolescent mothers often aren't prepared to handle motherhood either financially or emotionally, and may face more health risks from pregnancy. The good news: According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), the nation's teen pregnancy rate has been tumbling for two decades, falling by nearly half since 1991. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), in 2011, a total of 329,797 babies were born to teenag...
