CDC Chlamydia 2008 ASHA Std Background Information

shared by Daphne Emrick on 01 Jul 10 - Cached
  • Chlamydia is the most frequently reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease in the United States. In 2008, 1,210,523 chlamydial infections were reported to CDC from 50 states and the District of Columbia. Under-reporting is substantial because most people with chlamydia are not aware of their infections and do not seek testing. Also, testing is not often done if patients are treated for their symptoms. An estimated 2,291,000 non-institutionalized U.S. civilians ages 14-39 are infected with C. trachomatis  based on the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.  Women are frequently re-infected if their sex partners are not tre
  • Chlamydia is known as a "silent" disease because the majority of infected people have no symptoms. If symptoms do occur, they usually appear within 1 to 3 weeks after exposure.
  • To help prevent the serious consequences of chlamydia, screening at least annually for chlamydia is recommended for all sexually active women age 25 years and younger. An annual screening test also is recommended for older women with risk factors for chlamydia (a new sex partner or multiple sex partners). All pregnant women should have a screening test for chlamydia.

    I would like to use this site as one of my sources. I believe that this site will help with story because it gives the science behind urine's sterility. In addition to this the site supports this through historical facts.

teen health ears music decibels

  • The amount of energy in the noise and the damage it can do to your hearing increases very rapidly as it gets louder. In fact, noise energy doubles for every 3 decibels (3dB) increase in the loudness of the sound - and 3dB is such a small increase in loudness that you probably wouldn't even notice it.
  • What sort of noise causes the harm? For young people in particular, the most dangerous noise is amplified music, for example in gigs and clubs. Headphones, car stereos and mobile phones are also having a bad effect on the hearing of young people.
  • Research shows that 25% of people listen to headphones at a level that will cause hearing damage. Follow the 60/60 rule - don't have your player above 60% of the maximum volume, and don't listen to it for more than 60 minutes at a time.

  • One study suggests that listening to headphones at 80% for 90 minutes a day can lead to hearing loss. The authors say that this can take years for the damage to show up, so young people might not notice a loss of hearing until they are in their late 20s. At 100% for only five minutes you could do damage.

  • In night clubs - where much of the damage is done - do not stay long, don't go too often and keep well away from the loudspeakers - or go somewhere else where the music is not so loud.

    Three Himalaya glaciers have been shrinking over the last 40 years due to global warming and two of them, located in humid regions and on lower altitudes in central and east Nepal, may disappear in time to come, researchers in Japan said on Tuesday.

    ScienceDaily (July 11, 2011) — One in 10 species could face extinction by the year 2100 if current climate change impacts continue. This is the result of University of Exeter research, examining studies on the effects of recent climate change on plant and animal species and comparing this with predictions of future declines.

  • "Speaking just for myself, I was concerned when I heard about these bonuses," said David Weber, chairman of the Zoo-Museum District's board. It stands out from "what we've heard from the other institutions and the cost-cutting measures they're taking."
  • In Boyle's case, Hellman said, the financial officer deserved her bonus, even though she started so late in 2010. "She gave us a really good transition," he said, "and we rewarded her for that outstanding contribution."
  • "It removes any concerns that taxpayers might have," Hellman said. "But we're still going to use incentive compensation in certain years and with certain people. We still believe it's right."

  • The pay is tied to objective performance standards that vary depending on executives' responsibilities, said Ted Hellman,
  • "The science center is on a trajectory that is very serious," Ben Uchitelle, a former Clayton mayor who chairs the Zoo-Museum District's audit committee, said at a May 31 meeting. "It spends more than it makes."
  • "They have a right to review our finances, and they have done so consistently in the past," Hellman said. "We welcome the review."

    A team of scientists has discovered the youngest dinosaur preserved in the fossil record before the catastrophic meteor impact 65 million years ago. The finding indicates that dinosaurs did not go extinct prior to the impact and provides further evidence as to whether the impact was in fact the cause of their extinction.
