How late can AIDS cure come?

One of every three children born with HIV can die before even reaching their first birthday, and about a half of the estimated 400,000 HIV positive infants per year can lost their lives before turning two. Of the 33.4 million people living with HIV in 2008, 15.7 million are women that can possibly transfer the disease to their future children. In average, 430,000 children under 15 years of age were infected in that same year, and 280,000 of them have died.

The number of lives lost could have been smaller if medication was started earlier. This was partly because HIV treatment for children under the age of one was not available in many settings. In the next days, though, health authorities are expanding its availability to provide diagnostic testing on infants four to six weeks old. Further, they ought to totally end mother-to-child transmission by giving all pregnant women with antiretroviral drugs. This should protect against HIV transmission during pregnancy, delivery and or breastfeeding.

However, what everyone is looking forward to is finding the cure that will eradicate the deadly virus from a human’s system. Medical practitioners, scientist, patients, patients’ loved ones, and all others want this life snatcher ended forever. In the recent International AIDS Conference in Vienna, Geneva, it appears that scientists are again open to the notion of a cure. Sadly, not a very good amount of budget is available for research of HIV/AIDS Cure. Besides the problem on monetary fund, scientists know that this will still go a long way.

What instigated this new light? Today, HIV/AIDS can only be controlled but not eradicated, because of being able to persist in diverse cells and physical locations. Even with intensified therapy, low levels of HIV viremia persist. On the other hand, a bone marrow transplant was singled out to have cured a man infected by human immunodefiency virus.

It appears that the apparent cure was because the man’s HIV was CCR5-tropic, entering target cells using CCR5 receptor. But the donor had a mutation that left his immune cells without receptor. In two years after transplant, the patient remains well and off antiretroviral drugs. It seems that any remaining virus in the patient are not replicating. Researchers will try to find out if the apparent cure can be duplicated therapeutically through gene transfer. With scarce fund, though, HIV-stricken people will most likely wait long for dawn to come. And countless more will face grim death.

A Cure for Alzheimer's

I have seen so much drama movies about a story of an old man got Alzheimer's and always ended up a sad closing in which the old man died without any remembering any of his loved one.

Glaring stones and long necklaces are typically a good accents for many dress cut styles and a dozen of accented earrings nothing less can give out a better look to your headdress.

Bringing Up Issues of Confidentiality

Social networking websites are becoming like a household tsunami or an office opposition these days as millions of citizenries regain themselves updating their acquaintances and loved ones wherever they are with just a individual post like, "I am currently in Barcelona and savoring the great view here ; husbands still asleep." Unremarkably, we can easily identify what social networking site is oft seen and heavily spent time with. Name it and we have Facebook on the top of the list, then Twitter, followed by MySpace, and the Asian opposite number of Facebook, the Friendster. All of these social networking sites were driven at conveying people together, finding their lost relatives anywhere in the world and reconnecting with them using the ubiquitous net.

However, instances has been registered and taped in every nook of the world laying claim of sexual abuse, isolated murder, data or identity phishing, online stalking, etc. all charges pointing to Facebook and other social networking sites. In Australia, a teenage girl has been stabbed to death by a man she befriends on Facebook when the latter asked for the former to lure at a nearby place. In the US, there are isolated cases of sexual abuse, murder, and stalking that indirectly involves Facebook and other similar networking sites used as mode of communication.

In the collective world, Facebook in the main has become a large issue beginning from over spending on the site while at work and using the company belongings to access personal accounts on Facebook. Employers care that when employees spend more time on Facebook than on work would up to financial cataclysm. Thus, Facebook, if could be considered a drug, is something many would regard as habit forming. But Facebook is just another internet website.

Not too long, Facebook and social networking sites have encountered their ways to the hospitals. Thanks to the condescension of doctors, nurses in medical uniforms, hospitals, medical and nursing organizations etc.. Facebook has become the official at some level social sites of the hospitals tempting their previous patients to "Like" the institution. FB as often considered by many, has now become an instrument for nurse as outlet of their essences after their shift. But it seems that the guessed "friend" has become an atrocious informant of misery as many patients are becoming implicated that confidentiality can be hazarded because of the said site.

In a recent clause in the online edition of Scrubs Magazine, it featured a chronicle about nurses in nursing uniforms that has been discharged because of partaking in some info affecting their recent involution in an operation or their heartfelt comments about their cancer patients that did not make it. All these inputs have become an issue of ethics to most practitioners and a matter of compromised confidentiality for patients. However, don't nurses have the right also to utter their thoughts and at some tip facilitate their emotions in readiness for their next shift? In one forum site a debate has been started about a moral obligation whether it is right to add a patient Facebook. The consequence was quite typically obvious; many answered yes.

The ethics on the part of the nurses in medical uniforms was something to ward. As long as names of the patient roles are kept and that the scuttlebutt was not posted on the patient's wall, there is nothing incorrect.

Influence of Animal Prints

In the early days, possession of animal fur was a symbol of status. Having rugs made of fur, coat, home decoration, or as trophies tells other people how influential or powerful a certain person is. Since only the popular and influential possess such items, animal fur became a symbol of wealth, becoming extra expensive as the time passed by. Leopard, cheetah, giraffe and zebra furs’ are rare because of the fact that they have been declared as protected animals. Subsequently, their value climbed even higher.

While animal fur was a coveted item in the early days and today, the clothing industry devised an effective way to impart the beauty and uniqueness of animal fur by manufacturing animal printed apparels. They have exhibited outstanding designs in the catwalk, ensured that the public will recognize the idea through the singers, movie stars and television personalities, and showing that people can level up with the rich in famous when it comes to dressing up in stylish animal print clothes like lingerie, swimsuits, coats, skirts, tank tops, jackets, and blouses . Even the producers of medical uniforms took advantage of this, tailoring animal print medical scrubs that showcase modern fashion and professional look.

One known maker of high quality medical scrubs that incorporated the idea of animal print in clothes today is Cherokee. Just lately, it included Leopard chic print in the Cherokee Flexibles collection. The leopard spots were beautifully set on a mellow yellow fabric tint background along with chocolate colored stretchy side panels to fit the Flexibles line. To further enhance the beauty leopard print of the Cherokee Flexibles medical scrub, floral prints at the hemline were added as accent. Two other animal prints were recently added to the Cherokee scrubs, both featuring the unique fashion of the wild jungle.

The influence of animal prints did not end with the clothing industry, but continued to devour humanity with its unparalleled uniqueness. They were incorporated in a much larger range of products such as bags, head wears, scarf, shoes, bed sheets, sunglasses, neckties, umbrellas, notebooks, and counting. Women in particular, young and old, are so attracted to these products.
