Food related cholera and swine streptococcus:
26/05/2010
TP - Specialist medical or food plays an important role in the spread of epidemics, especially cholera and Streptococcus, but the food testing process is now more worrying fact.
At the same time in various regions across the country appear dangerous contagious diseases. According to the c - Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology Surgeons, more likely epidemic of acute diarrhea caused by cholera bacteria can continue to occur in some regions this summer.
The reason is that translation is dispersed in some localities, while some countries in the region continued to record the patient described. The increased interaction between countries, increase the risk of regional service penetration and in local outbreaks across the country.
Of the health statistics show that approximately 75% of people infected with cholera do not have symptoms of clinical disease but still excreted into the environment. Most worryingly, to the rainy season, dengue fever will be complicated and tend to break out into an epidemic if no preventive measures in time.
Pathogens from food insecure
Dr. Nguyen Tran Hien, said food plays an important role in the spread of epidemics, especially cholera and swine streptococcus. Cholera pathogen infection directly via food or water contaminated during or after processing. Vegetables are harvested and washed in areas where contaminated water and eating raw or undercooked carefully spread the cause of cholera.
Deputy Health Minister Trinh Quan Huan acknowledges many cases to detect food insecurity is due to the press, always on the health sector slowly. According to the Ministry of Health led a fact that post-inspection rate for thousands of food items at high risk is very low.
But not any locality may also perform tests to identify infected food or not. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Cong Khan - Director of Food Hygiene and Safety (food safety), the Health Ministry said, in 2009, the Department survey assessing the capacity testing target of food safety in the provinces.
Results of microbiological criteria, most provinces have done tests Coliform, E. Coli, Salmonella, S. aureus but for B. cereus has 20 provinces and cities have not done this test, accounting for 31.75% rate.
For indicators of chemical pollution, Quang Binh has only to perform tests for antibiotic residues, accounting for 1.59% rate. Thai Binh, Ha Nam and Quang Tri are capable of performing tests for pesticide residues in animal pyrethroide group, accounting for 4.76% rate.
Only eight provinces throughout the country can perform tests fungal toxin, accounting for 12.70% rate. For indicators of heavy metals tested, with 20 provinces and cities have been able to perform, representing 31.75% rate. Regarding food additives tested only focused on two main groups are color products and synthetic sweeteners and other additives group remaining as preservatives, antioxidants ... hardly able to accomplish.

INFLUENZA PANDEMIC (H1N1) (34): INDIAN VARIANTS

The National Institute of Virology (NIV) here has detected 3 new
variants of the H1N1 virus. Fortunately, all 3 variants have shown
susceptibility to Tamiflu, the drug used in the treatment of swine
flu. However, with the virus actively acquiring new properties, NIV
scientists are apprehensive that it might develop resistance to the
medicines used in treating swine flu. "For now, there is no need to
worry. But we are closely monitoring the virus for any change in its
virulence," NIV assistant director Sarah Cherian told the Times of
India recently.
Cherian said 7 mutated variants of the virus have been found across
the world so far. "As expected of the seasonal influenza virus, the
H1N1 virus is also going through constant genetic variations which
might lead to significant changes in its antiviral resistance," she
said.
The variants of the H1N1 virus, representing both recovered and fatal
cases from major cities -- Pune, Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and
Bangalore -- were analysed at the NIV, and the complete genomes of
these variants were sequenced. The results of the genetic analysis
have been published in the March 2010 issue of the US journal, PLOS
One.
The NIV study, which compared the Indian viruses with 685 whole
genomes of global viral isolates, revealed that the 1st Indian
isolate of May 2009 belonged to a subtype (clade 5) and correlated to
the time during which the dissemination of the virus was noted in
Asia.
The later isolates of the period from June to September 2009 belonged
to H1N1 variants (clades 6 and 7). The clade 7 variant was seen to be
the dominant one, though no spatio-temporal patterns were noted
within this variant, said Cherian. Among the established pathogenic
markers, no significant change was observed in the Indian variants of
the H1N1 virus.
The 1st influenza pandemic of the 21st century was declared with the
emergence of a novel influenza A (H1N1) strain in Mexico and the US
in April 2009. In its last H1N1 situation update released on 14 May
2010, the World Health Organisation said that more than 214 countries
and overseas territories or communities have reported
laboratory-confirmed cases of pandemic influenza H1N1 2009, including
over 18 036 deaths. [The most recent WHO Weekly Update (101), dated

Nguyen Hong Ha, deputy head of the National Hospital of Tropical
Diseases said the hospital had seen admission of some patients who
had contracted the streptococcus, commonly found in pigs,
[_Streptococcus suis_] due to having eaten undercooked pork products
made from diseased swine. So far 22 cases have been rushed to the hospital.
Medical experts warned of the increase of rare diseases due to
sweltering weather and polluted environment. Parents should take
children to medical facilities as flu H5N1, H1N1, dengue fever, and
meningitis have the same symptoms.

[According to the newswire above there have been 22 cases of
_Streptococcus suis_ admitted to the central hospital of tropical
diseases in Viet Nam during 2010. The newswire mentions that these
patients became ill after eating under-cooked pork products made from
diseased swine.
_S. suis_ inhabits in pigs and other animals such as ruminants, cats,
dogs, deer and horses. _S. suis_ infection in humans were commonly
reported from areas with porcine reproductive and respiratory
syndrome (PRRS) outbreaks. Risk factors of _S. suis_ infection in
humans are likely to be exposure to pigs and uncooked or partially
cooked pork products. Although PRRS cannot be transmitted from animal
to human, PRRS infection may increase the incidence of _S. suis_ in
pigs. More detailed information is available at prior PRO/MBDS
posting Streptococcus suis, human - Viet Nam 20100503.1432.
The newswire does not provide detailed information on the places
where the patients were from. Were they from areas affected by PRRS?
Were cases in clusters or individuals?
PRO/MBDS would appreciate information from knowledgeable sources on
other epidemiological information and etiology of these _S. suis_

"See" pig sick patients infected swine Streptococcus

(AP) - 2 days ago, her baby brother to play house, right at home I have to sell off sick pigs, pig sty, she just dropped see sick pigs. The next day, you do not use a fever, the body grows a lot of hemorrhagic necrosis, emergency hospitalizations.
This morning (25 / 5), Nguyen Thi Be patient (55 years in Tien Lu district, Hung Yen province) was taken to hospital in the central tropical disease condition severe septic shock, the whole body as purple plum back by the note the necrosis to right, appear from top to heel.
The Committee necrosis appeared more on the body, from face, head to toe patient (Photo: H. Hai)
Ms. Little said, the sisters have adopted a pig sows but now completely healthy. She herself did not have long to eat pork, as witnessed in the countryside, many families are sick pigs to sell off. Only a single contact with sick pigs is home to his brother, right at home this they sell sick pigs.
Intermediate BS.ThS Nguyen, Faculty of active treatment (Institute of Tropical Diseases country) said, this patient was severe septic shock, blood pressure should drop immediately to use drugs to increase and maintain vasomotor maintain blood pressure. At this point, still fever patients, blood pressure is stable, and the doctors can not be anticipated disease progression in those days, patients will hurt any of the organs.
Currently patients with numbness, leg pain a lot. Doctors are alarmed at the situation vasoconstrictor ability, lead to necrosis of the foot and toes. Patient samples were also taken for testing swine streptococcus bacteria, but the symptoms can make very clear that patients infected with Streptococcus pigs.
According to Dr. Grant, when farmers should not panic sell sick pigs that need to promptly report to the veterinary service zoning. The sale of this sick pig (and probably pig blood infections, pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pigs) swine Streptococcus causing disease in people at risk of spread by slaughter, disease eat pork.
So, here is the first 21 patients infected with swine Streptococcus hospitalized patients from tropical countries this year. Patients are mainly men, who are directly exposed to surgery, hospitalization and pigs in very serious condition. The patients came from Ha Nam, Bac Ninh, Hai Duong, Hung Yen, Nam Dinh, Hanoi, Thai Binh, Bac Giang, Quang Ninh, Phu Tho.

Gulf oil plume darker; not good news: expert
Date: Tuesday May. 25, 2010 12:26 PM ET
WASHINGTON — Live video of the Gulf of Mexico oil spill shows the underwater plume getting significantly darker. A top oil engineering expert says that suggests heavier, more-polluting oil is spewing out.
The color of the oil gushing from the main pipe has changed in color from medium gray to black. Two scientists noticed the change, which oil company BP downplayed as a natural fluctuation that is not likely permanent.
But engineering professor Bob Bea at the University of California at Berkeley says the color change may indicate the BP leak has hit a reservoir of more oil and less gas. Gas is less polluting because it evaporates. Bea has spent more than 55 years working and studying oil rigs.
Oil has been spewing from the site of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig that exploded April 20
Former Shell Oil Chief, Engineer: Supertankers Could Save the Gulf, So Why Won't BP Listen?
BY Ariel Schwartz
John Hofmeister and Nick Pozzi tell Fast Company how a possible solution to the Gulf Oil spill is sitting under BP's nose.
Underwater robots, containment domes, top hats, hot taps, junk shots ... the potential fixes to the Gulf Oil Spill sound like they come straight from a cringeworthy disaster flick (or a PR think tank). But what if the solution is right under our noses? What if it's already sitting in the Gulf? John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil, and Nick Pozzi, a former pipeline engineering and operations project manager for Saudi Aramco, think it might be.
According to Hofmeister, oil supertankers could be used to suck up massive amounts of oil--possibly millions of barrels at a time.
In an interview with FastCompany.com, Hofmeister explained that a little-known Saudi oil spill from an offshore platform in the early 1990s dumped more crude into the sea than any spill in U.S. history (think hundreds of millions of gallons). But the government and local press kept it quiet. And that's why one of the big fixes in the Saudi oil spill--the oil-skimming supertanker--hasn't been publicized.
"[They] figured out how to deploy supertankers that had the ability to both intake and discharge liquids in vast quantities with huge pumps," Hofmeister explained. "The supertankers could simply suck in seawater and oil simultaneously--they can hold millions of barrels--and when full, they could discharge oil at a port into tanks where they could separate oil from water. The idea is novel in that you can get massive of oil amounts quickly." Once the supertankers make it to to the port, water can be treated and discharged, and oil can either be used or destroyed.
Pozzi saw the technique used in the Middle East, where it recovered 85% of the oil from the Saudi spill. And he thinks it could work in the Gulf of Mexico. "The only downside is that you tie up oil tankers. That's why we think that BP won't listen to us. They don't want to spend that extra money."
After learning about the supertanker technique a few weeks ago, Hofmeister decided to bring it to the government's attention. "I've been trying to connect engineers with decision-makers at the Coast Guard and in the interior department," he said.
Pozzi and his business partner Jon King have also tried to contact officials, with no luck. "I called the President of BP, got his secretary and then got a call from a lady inside the building we were standing outside of. We never really heard back from her. Nick also knew some people and got one of the men in charge of the spill. He threatened to sue Nick for not going through channels," King said.
But even if BP and the government both approve the technique, it will take a while before it can be implemented. "A lot of these supertankers are sitting on the ocean full of oil. How do you get them empty? It may take some time to organize," Hofmeister explained. And, of course, organizers will have to make sure that the supertankers don't crash into each other. All the more reason to get started now.
BP would be wise to listen to Pozzi, who has 40 years of experience in the oil and gas industry. "It's what you can't see that's going to hurt you for years to come. What you see now is just the tip of the iceberg," he said.
Hofmeister, however, has confidence in the oil spill cleanup effort. "There are 13,000 people organized and engaged at cleaning up this spill. It's kind of remarkable to put that kind of task force together in this kind of time frame," he said. "I think there are very smart people managing this process."

The virus was first detected in India in May 2009. Since then outbreaks have been reported from many parts of the country.
PUNE: The National Institute of Virology (NIV) here has detected three new variants of the H1N1 virus. Fortunately, all three variants have shown susceptibility to Tamiflu , the drug used in the treatment of swine flu.
However, with the virus actively acquiring new properties, NIV scientists are apprehensive that it might develop resistance to the medicines used in treating swine flu. “For now, there is no need to worry. But we are closely monitoring the virus for any change in its virulence ,” NIV assistant director Sarah Cherian told TOI recently.
Cherian said seven mutated variants of the virus have been found across the world so far.“As expected of the seasonal influenza virus, the H1N1 virus is also going through constant genetic variations which might lead to significant changes in its antiviral resistance,” she said.
The variants of the H1N1 virus, representing both recovered and fatal cases from major cities – Pune,Mumbai,Delhi,Hyderabad and Bangalore — were analysed at the NIV and the complete genomes of these variants were sequenced . The results of the genetic analysis have been published in the March 2010 issue of the US journal, PLOS One.
Woman dies of swine flu
PUNE: A 48-year-old woman from Baramati succumbed to the H1N1 flu on Sunday, taking the death toll in Pune to 237. Sunanda Mehtre, who was diabetic, died at the Sassoon hospital here at 8 am.
‘No major change in Indian variants of H1N1’
PUNE: The National Institute of Virology (NIV) here has detected three new variants of the H1N1 virus. Fortunately, all three variants have shown susceptibility to Tamiflu, the drug used in the treatment of swine flu.
The NIV study, which compared the Indian viruses with 685 whole genomes of global viral isolates, revealed that the first Indian isolate of May 2009 belonged to a subtype (clade 5) and correlated to the time during which the dissemination of the virus was noted in Asia.
The later isolates of the period from June to September 2009 belonged to H1N1 variants (clades 6 and 7). The clade 7 variant was seen to be the dominant one, though no spatio-temporal patterns were noted within this variant, said Cherian. Among the established pathogenic markers, no significant change was observed in the Indian variants of the H1N1 virus.
