BRAZILIANS FROGS

"The frog lived down in a hole where there was all he had to live. 

One day, a softshelled turtle came by and told him about the sea. 

'The sea? Hah! It's paradise in here. Nothing can be better than this well. 

Why don't you come down and share my joy?"

Yellow Fever- Parody

So long boy no one can stay in my place
got my papers
I've got my pay
So pack my bags and I'll be run away
due Yellow Fever

Put my guns down and the war is not won
Fill my glass high the time has come
I'm going leak out to the place that I love due Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever Yellow Fever
is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow Fever Yellow Fever
is in my blood it's in all the place I live

Got no time for explanation
got no time to lose
If tomorrow night he'll find me
Sleeping underneath the moon, I catch 

     Yellow Fever

Cannon fire lingers in my mind
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
And I've been gone for such a long time
due fever, yellow fever

I remember the nights were not cool
I can still see the mosquito pool
And I remember the gel that I used
avoid Yellow Fever

Yellow Fever Yellow Fever
is in my mind and in my eyes
Yellow Fever Yellow Fever is in my blood it's the place I live

AEDES AEGYPTI INSTITUTE

(...) Termino com um pedido: 

Troque o nome de todas as ruas que levam o meu nome (Oswaldo Cruz) para “Rua do Mosquito”. 

Enquanto ele matar brasileiros, o venerável Instituto Oswaldo Cruz terá o nome da praga: “Instituto Aedes Aegypti”. 

Assim, em vez de exaltar uma glória que não temos, lembraremos de um problema que não resolvemos.

(...) I close with an order:

Change the name of all the streets that take my name (Oswaldo Cruz) to "Mosquito Street".

As long as he kills Brazilians, the venerable Oswaldo Cruz Institute will have the name of the plague: "Aedes Aegypti Institute".

So, instead of exalting a glory that we do not have, we will remember a problem that we do not solve.

YELLOW FEVER - Epidemic of incompetence?

"Epidemia de incompetência"

Investimentos do governo federal destinados ao combate de epidemias despencaram quase dez por cento (9,2%) entre 2015 e 2014. 

Entre estes investimentos estariam ofertas de insumo, testes de diagnóstico, campanhas de prevenção de doenças e combate a vetores potenciais (Aedes aegypti).

Além de transmitir o vírus da dengue, zika e chikungunya, este mosquito transmite também o vírus da febre amarela.

YF BRAZILIAN OFFICIAL CAMPAIGN AGAINST MOSQUITOES

BUT, 

A MOSQUITO IS MUCH MORE STRONGER THAN A WHOLE COUNTRY!!

Yellow fever: DIAGNOSIS

Yellow fever is difficult to diagnose, especially during the early stages. 

More severe disease can be confused with severe malaria, leptospirosis, viral hepatitis (especially fulminant forms), other haemorrhagic fevers, infection with other flaviviruses (e.g. dengue haemorrhagic fever), and poisoning.

Historically, mosquito control campaigns successfully eliminated Aedes aegypti, the urban yellow fever vector, from most of Central and South America. However, Aedes aegypti has re-colonized urban areas in the region, raising a renewed risk of urban yellow fever.

WHO: Brazil declares yellow fever emergency in Minas Gerais (BR)

Brazil's south-eastern state of Minas Gerais has declared a public health emergency following a deadly outbreak of yellow fever.

At least 15 people have died there since December. Many areas, including the state capital Belo Horizonte, have been affected.

A mass vaccination programme is in place in three southern states.

But queues have formed outside clinics in Rio and Sao Paulo amid concerns that vaccines could run out.

Minas Gerais has been the hardest-hit Brazilian state. In the year up to June last year, 475 cases were confirmed in the state and 162 people died.

The health emergency will be in place for six months and will allow local authorities to commission special services and buy in emergency materials.

Yellow Fever

• Caused by a virus that is transmitted to humans by mosquitoes
• Difficult to diagnose and often confused with other diseases or fevers
• Most people recover after the first phase of infection that usually involves fever, muscle and back pain, headache, shivers, loss of appetite, and nausea or vomiting
• About 15% of people face a second, more serious phase involving high fever, jaundice, bleeding and deteriorating kidney function
• Half of those who enter the "toxic" phase usually die within 10 to 14 days
• The WHO's advice is for all travellers to Sao Paulo to get a vaccination at least 10 days before travelling and to take measures to avoid mosquito bites.
  Brazilian Health Minister Antonio Nardi (?) responded by saying that most people attending Brazil's carnival celebrations in February should be safe as they are held in large cities and not the rural and forested areas which have seen the biggest increase in yellow fever cases.
  More than 45 million people live in Sao Paulo state.

YELLOW FEVER: “Brazil is running to prevent a potentially devastating scenario”

According WHO, large epidemics of yellow fever occur when infected people introduce the virus in densely populated areas with high mosquito density and where most people have little or no immunity due to lack of vaccination." 

"It is under these conditions that infected mosquitoes successfully transmit the virus from person to person and now Brazil is running to prevent a potentially devastating scenario from developing." 

Yellow fever is an acute viral haemorrhagic disease transmitted by infected mosquitoes. 

Symptoms of yellow fever include fever, headache, jaundice, muscle pain, nausea, vomiting and fatigue.

A small proportion of patients who contract the virus develop severe symptoms and approximately half of those die within 7 to 10 days.

The virus is endemic in tropical areas of Africa and Central and South America.

Good supportive treatment in hospitals improves survival rates. There is currently no specific anti-viral drug for yellow fever.

Signs and symptoms

Once contracted, the yellow fever virus incubates in the body for 3 to 6 days. Many people do not experience symptoms, but when these do occur, the most common are fever, muscle pain with prominent backache, headache, loss of appetite, and nausea or vomiting. In most cases, symptoms disappear after 3 to 4 days.

A small percentage of patients, however, enter a second, more toxic phase within 24 hours of recovering from initial symptoms. High fever returns and several body systems are affected, usually the liver and the kidneys. In this phase people are likely to develop jaundice (yellowing of the skin and eyes, hence the name ‘yellow fever’), dark urine and abdominal pain with vomiting. Bleeding can occur from the mouth, nose, eyes or stomach. Half of the patients who enter the toxic phase die within 7 - 10 days.

Yellow fever is difficult to diagnose, especially during the early stages. More severe disease can be confused with severe malaria, leptospirosis, viral hepatitis (especially fulminant forms), other haemorrhagic fevers, infection with other flaviviruses (e.g. dengue haemorrhagic fever), and poisoning.

Blood tests (RT-PCR) can sometimes detect the virus in the early stages of the disease. In later stages of the disease, testing to identify antibodies is needed (ELISA and PRNT).

Transmission

The yellow fever virus is an arbovirus of the flavivirus genus and is transmitted by mosquitoes, belonging to the Aedes and Haemogogus species. The different mosquito species live in different habitats - some breed around houses (domestic), others in the jungle (wild), and some in both habitats (semi-domestic). 


There are 3 types of transmission cycles:

• * Sylvatic (or jungle) yellow fever: In tropical rainforests, monkeys, which are the primary reservoir of yellow fever, are bitten by wild mosquitoes which pass the virus on to other monkeys. Occasionally humans working or travelling in the forest are bitten by infected mosquitoes and develop yellow fever.
• 
  
• * Intermediate yellow fever: In this type of transmission, semi-domestic mosquitoes (those that breed both in the wild and around households) infect both monkeys and people. Increased contact between people and infected mosquitoes leads to increased transmission and many separate villages in an area can develop outbreaks at the same time. This is the most common type of outbreak in Africa.
• 
  
• * Urban yellow fever: Large epidemics occur when infected people introduce the virus into heavily populated areas with high mosquito density and where most people have little or no immunity, due to lack of vaccination. In these conditions, infected mosquitoes transmit the virus from person to person.

Vaccination include:

• * infants aged less than 9 months, except during an epidemic when infants aged 6-9 months, in areas where the risk of infection is high, should also receive the vaccine;
• 
  
• * pregnant women – except during a yellow fever outbreak when the risk of infection is high;
• people with severe allergies to egg protein; and
• 
  
• * people with severe immunodeficiency due to 
• symptomatic HIV/AIDS or other causes, or who have a thymus disorder.

Historically, mosquito control campaigns successfully eliminated Aedes aegypti, the urban yellow fever vector, from most of Central and South America. However, Aedes aegypti has re-colonized urban areas in the region, raising a renewed risk of urban yellow fever. Mosquito control programmes targeting wild mosquitoes in forested areas are not practical for preventing jungle (or sylvatic) yellow fever transmission.

MEDITATION

ALMOST TWO CENTURIES AFTER OPIUM WAR

Make a War to "Protect an infamous contraband traffic"...

ALMOST 200 YEARS: Since 1729 it was considered illegal to smoke and sell opium in China.

In 1839 the Emperor rejecting proposals to legalise and tax opium, but in 1842, after the Gunboat Diplomacy, the Qing Dynasty "ceded" Hong Kong Island to the British Empire.

William Gladstone denounced the war in Parliament as ''unjust and iniquitous'' and accused Lord Palmerston, the British Prime Minister, of hoisting the British flag ''to protect an infamous contraband traffic.''

DANÇA, YOGA, ARTES MARCIAIS E ED. FÍSICA

Depois que o CREF RS interditou um estúdio de POLE por falta de registro, por acreditar que o POLE DANCE é uma atividade física que tem como objetivo o condicionamento físico e deve ser ministrada por um professor de Ed. Física, profissionais prejudicados entraram com mandado de segurança.

A Primeira Turma do STJ negou o recurso do CREF.

O acórdão confirmou decisão monocrática do ministro Sérgio Kukina, relator:

“Não é possível extrair dos artigos 2º e 3º da Lei 9.696/98 comando normativo que obrigue a inscrição dos professores e mestres de danças, ioga e artes marciais nos Conselhos de Educação Física”.

Segundo o relator, “Embora os precedentes citados na decisão agravada e no presente voto não façam referência expressa à modalidade pole dance, não cabe, nesta seara recursal, perquirir sobre as especificidades da atividade desenvolvida pela parte agravada, para, a partir daí, reconhecer a obrigatoriedade de inscrição no Conselho de Educação Física, sob pena de afrontar o óbice da Súmula 7”.
