  • Experimental vaccines and treatments for Ebola are under development, but they have not yet been fully tested for safety or effectiveness.
  • No FDA-approved vaccine or medicine (e.g., antiviral drug) is available for Ebola.Symptoms of Ebola and complications are treated as they appear. The following basic interventions, when used early, can significantly improve the chances of survival:Providing intravenous fluids (IV) and balancing electrolytes (body salts).Maintaining oxygen status and blood pressure.Treating other infections if they occur.
  • Recovery from Ebola depends on good supportive care and the patient’s immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years, possibly longer. It is not known if people who recover are immune for life or if they can become infected with a different species of Ebola. Some people who have recovered from Ebola have developed long-term complications, such as joint and vision problems.

shared by kamimon2307 on 03 Nov 14 - Cached
  • The Pit Bull Terrier was created by breeding mastiffs[citation needed] and terriers together to produce a dog that combined the gameness and agility of the terrier with the strength of the mastiff.[7] These dogs were bred in England as all-around farm dogs, and arrived in the United States where they became the direct ancestors of the American Pitbull Terrier. In the United Kingdom Pit Bulls were used in bloodsports such as bull baiting, bear baiting and cock fighting.
  • Pit bull that is well socialized is less likely to attack when it feels threatened
  • The term Pit Bull is loosely used as a generic term used to describe dogs with similar physical characteristics. [1] There are over twenty breeds which tend to be characterized as pit bulls. [2] These include the American Pit Bull Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, American Staffordshire Terrier, Bull Terrier, American Bully, American Bulldog, Dogo Argentino, Presa Canario, Cane Corso, or any mix thereof.

  • Dog owners in the United States can be held legally liable for injuries inflicted or caused by their dogs. In general, owners are considered liable if they were unreasonably careless in handling or restraining the dog, or if they knew beforehand that the dog had a tendency to cause injury (e.g., bite); however, dog owners are automatically considered liable if local laws hold an owner strictly liable for all damage caused by their dog, regardless of carelessness or foreknowledge of a dog's tendencies.

  • A 30-year-old hospital technician died of the Marburg virus this weekend in Uganda, health officials there announced Sunday. Marburg, like Ebola, is a hemorrhagic fever. It's rare but severe. According to NBC's Monday report, officials in Uganda have quarantined about 80 people who came into contact with the victim, one of whom — the man's brother — has developed the early symptoms of the disease. Sixty of those quarantined are health-care workers.
