shared by andres mejia on 07 Nov 14 - No Cached
  • Symptoms, Diagnosis, & Treatment Symptoms Most people infected with chikungunya virus will develop some symptoms. Symptoms usually begin 3–7 days after being bitten by an infected mosquito. The most common symptoms are fever and joint pain. Other symptoms may include headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, or rash. Chikungunya disease does not often result in death, but the symptoms can be severe and disabling. Most patients feel better within a week. In some people, the joint pain may persist for months. People at risk for more severe disease include newborns infected around the time of birth, older adults (≥65 years), and people with medical conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease. Once a person has been infected, he or she is likely to be protected from future infections. Diagnosis The symptoms of chikungunya are similar to those of dengue, another disease spread by mosquitoes. See your doctor if you develop the symptoms described above. If you have recently traveled, tell your doctor. Your doctor may order blood tests to look for chikungunya or other similar diseases. Treatment There is no medicine to treat chikungunya virus infection or disease. Decrease the symptoms: Get plenty of rest Drink fluids to prevent dehydration Take medicines, such as ibuprofen, naproxen, acetaminophen, or paracetamol, to relieve fever and pain.

    The event that I chose is about the coffee as renewable energy. Even though its the second valuable commodity its an environmental impact because they're cutting down the plantations. This helps the people with money but doesn't help the environment, there will be less oxygen for humans. Farmers and people who exports the coffee are involved in this problem.One of the opnion was that "Coffee waste water generates a considerable amount of greenhouse gases, particularly methane. However, this same waste water is rich in organic matter, which can be harnessed to generate biogas via anaerobic decomposition."
  • airi shibata on 07 Nov 14
     
    Nobody disagrees about the coffee as the renewable energy. Mostly all the people say that its a correct thing to do. In the future we should cut some trees but also plant some of the seeds we cut from.

  • In the worst-case scenario, the two countries could have a total of 21,000 cases of Ebola by Sept. 30 and 1.4 million cases by Jan. 20 if the disease keeps spreading without effective methods to contain it. These figures take into account the fact that many cases go undetected, and estimate that there are actually 2.5 times as many as reported.
