Cork, Ireland (PRWEB) July 31, 2009

A Cork based health and safety company has been enlisted to assist a global software company to prepare their Ireland operation for the effects of pandemic swine flu.

The lessons learned from other sites infected early in the pandemic spread timeframe are actively being applied the software giant’s sites across the globe. The number of confirmed cases of influenza A(H1N1) in Ireland has risen to the point that the authorities have switched to a treatment rather than a prevention phase. The concern is that with no natural immunity to the new strain, as with seasonal flu, it is likely that infection could easily spread through a geographical area or population. Of even greater concern is the knowledge from historical outbreaks that the virus could even mutate into a more serious strain in the future where it could become responsible for a much greater death toll.

Pandemic infection will almost certainly have significant impact on business productivity, as the best way to contain disease is to keep all infected or potentially infected people away from gathering places such as the workplace. All businesses must begin to prepare for the impact of this disease on their workforce and business operations i.e.

Operating with considerably reduced staff numbers

Reduced supply of raw materials

Travel restrictions

Darren O’Keeffe, Consultancy Manager of CMSE, said that the risk to companies not adequately planning could be very high. “Employers are very focused on economic issues, losing key suppliers, or key staff could devastate a business.”

All companies must there for plan, resource, audit and review pandemic preparedness procedures on an ongoing basis to be in good shape for the expected rise in cases in the European Autumn timeframe.

CMSE can assist any type of organisation to prepare in a comprehensive and professional manner to mitigate the effects of a pandemic virus that will impact on all businesses and locations in the near future. Whether by auditing locations, or the development of plans and procedures, CMSE can help to reduce the impact of Swine Flu and ensure essential business continuity through effective planning and preparedness.

Laredo, TX and Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 26, 2009

The City of Laredo Health Department (CLHD) and the Laredo Independent School District (LISD) are installing a “first-in-the nation,” Internet-based system for early identification of possible novel Influenza H1N1 virus infection of students, teachers and staff. The virus is commonly known as the “swine flu.”

The system, known as Argus1, also provides decision support for school nurses and other providers in caring for sick students; instant alerts such as vaccine recommendations, and continuous reporting and tracking of outbreaks to the CLHD and school authorities.

“In addition to Influenza A H1N1, the system also provides point-of-contact surveillance for other forms of influenza as well as the potential to track other public health infectious diseases and chemical agents that the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security has identified as possible agents in a biological or chemical terrorist attack,” said Robert Burns, Director of Information Technology for Argus One Systems, Inc.

Argus1 was introduced in Laredo as part of a test site from 2003 to 2006. Its re-deployment for the 2009-10 school year is based on extensive testing and refinement of the system, with particular attention to the new Influenza A H1N1 virus. Argus1 also can be used by physician offices, emergency medical responders and hospital emergency departments, Burns noted.

Patricia Keck, Director of LISD Health Services, stated:

“Argus 1 will be an important part of our ‘Fight the Flu’ program. By quickly receiving reports from school nurses, LISD Health Services Department in conjunction with the City of Laredo is able to track illness patterns. If an illness pattern develops at an LISD school, we will provide the school with intensified flu prevention recommendations. Argus1 is a valuable weapon in fighting flu outbreaks.”

“In addition to assisting nurses caring for sick students, Argus1 provides a distinctive reporting function to the CLHD, which has played a key role in the design and development of the system during the past six years,” said Vincent Friedewald, MD, Medical Director of Argus One Systems.

“This surveillance system is an important adjunct to track and monitor disease from the onset at the provider level and to quickly report to the CLHD for a rapid response intervention to contain disease,” said Hector Gonzalez, MD, MPH, Director of the city’s Health Dept.

“The system is secured and uses both landline and wireless Internet-connected computers,” explained Friedewald, a Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Texas Health Science Center – Houston.

Argus1 assesses signs, symptoms, test results

“An important part of the program involves assessment of patients’ signs, symptoms and test results, which are instantly transformed into a comprehensive list of possible disease causes and detailed information about each of the diseases,” he added.

Additionally, when a person’s symptoms match any of nine categories of public health syndromes, including influenza-like illnesses, the exact time and location is reported to both the CLHD and to the central office of the School District, he said. All reported cases are instantly displayed on a map of the City of Laredo so that potential cases are immediately tracked to help officials decide how to prevent its spread throughout the schools and the community at large.

“As the school year begins, we are entering a potentially very dangerous period with a new influenza virus that particularly affects young persons,” emphasized Friedewald, who is an Associate Editor for The American Journal of Cardiology, as well as a research professor in the College of Science at the University of Notre Dame

“Our ability to build on our existing relationship with the LISD and the CLHD should afford the children, as well as the entire community of Laredo, a proven and unsurpassed level of added protection” he said.

Argus One Systems, Inc., is headquartered in Rosenberg, TX (near Houston), with editorial offices in Austin, TX and technology offices in Memphis, TN.

(PRWEB) March 21, 2005

Dr. Nancy Cox, Chief Influenza Scientist at the US Centers for Disease Control stated, “The ‘very frightening’ outbreak of virulent Bird Flu in Asia could lead to the most devastating human pandemic in history.” Klaus Stohr, Global Influenza Co-Coordinator of the World Health Organization (WHO), warns “the planet is overdue for a killer flu outbreak.”

With alarming frequency, we are being warned about the threat posed by the “Bird Flu.” According to the WHO, this lethal H5N1 avian influenza has decimated poultry populations in East and South-East Asia. The poultry infection may create opportunities for a new influenza virus strain to spread easily among humans. The world is unprepared for such an event.

Vaccination, our primary defense, helps protect against the next flu season but not against unexpected strains. In fact, manufacturers have been wrong about the “up and coming” strains for the past three years.

Stohr said a dozen countries, led by Australia, Canada, France, the US and Sweden, bought stockpiles of Roche’s antiviral drug, Tamiflu®, Tamiflu® acts as a prophylactic and is also indicated for treatment of influenza infection in adults who have been symptomatic for no more than two days but is untested against any new flu pandemic strains. Of course, as with any engineered drug, side effects can be problematic. And the effects of Tamiflu® on children under 18 and pregnant women have not yet been determined.

So how can we as individuals protect ourselves? Strengthening the immune system is imperative. The truth is our first recourse should be the medicinal properties nature offers, and millions already take supplements. But what is not widely understood is that the beneficial nutrients are either destroyed by the acids in the stomach or the indigestible caplet/capsule containing the nutrients passes through the body intact.

Fortunately, there is a solution. Cape Cod Biolab Corporation (CAPE COD) developed and patented a revolutionary advancement called BIO-SHIELD®. Originally, BIO-SHIELD® was developed to overcome the degradation of the natural cranberry bio-activates as they pass through the stomach. In clinical tests, this supplement, CRAN-MAX®, reduced the occurrence and duration of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in patients by 50% to 90%. Released in 1997, CRAN-MAX® is now recommended by many doctors to maintain urinary tract health.

BIO-SHIELD is a very exciting innovation with far-reaching implications. CAPE COD introduced ANTI-MAX®, formulated by Bio-Chemist, MD, Tom Hesslelink. ANTI-MAX® utilizes the BIO-SHIELD® technology to successfully deliver a combination of all-natural, selected anti-oxidants which boost the immune system. Natural ingredients include ELDER-MAX®, an elderberry fruit compound with anti-viral activities, GINGER-MAX®, a ginger oil compound with anti-inflammatory and anti-emetic activities, GREEN-MAX®, a green tea extract with anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic and anti-inflammatory activities, and BLACK-MAX®, Nigella sativa oil with anti-histamine and anti-carcinogen activities. Thus the name “ANTI-MAX®.” These natural herbs, oils and fruit strengthen the immune system which greatly enhances your body’s ability to fight off infection and illness, including influenza.

Selected SARS patients in the Toronto, Canada outbreak, voluntarily took ANTI-MAX® and recovered significantly faster than those using traditional medicines alone. This is a very exciting development, and formal clinical trials are pending.

Dr. Rose practices ophthalmology in Los Angeles and is president of the Rose Eye Medical Group. He is on the Life Extension Foundation (http://www.lef.org) Medical Advisory Board and the staffs of Pacific Alliance Medical Center in Los Angeles and other area hospitals.

(PRWEB) October 17, 2005 –

Dr. Shoshana, expert on health and wellness issues, helps readers ready themselves for the autumn onslaught of strep throat, common colds, and the flu in this month’s issue of Tips for Health, published by the eHealthInstitute. Find the eZine, which is a premier spot for accurate and timely health information, online at http://www.tipsforhealth.com/index.html.

The same scenes are repeated in cities and town across the nation from late August through the end of September. Groups of students convene in classrooms to get to work after a fun, hot summer. Often these students bring something more then pencils and books. All too often they carry the germs and viruses that lead to colds, the flu, strep throat and ear infections. After learning how to share at school, students carry contagions home, causing further cycling among households and, often, on to the workplace. It’s an endless rotation only a thorough knowledge of health and wellness can cure.

This year brings a special cause for concern. Health officials remain very worried that bird flu is poised to make a wholesale jump to humans. Without an effective vaccine, the virus could cause a widespread pandemic – a generalized and geographically outbreak affecting millions — and exact a high death toll among Americans before it is contained.

While a bird flu vaccine may be developed, it would be folly to take too much comfort. Flu viruses tend to mutate and mutate quickly. Vaccinating for the bird flu may give people a false sense of comfort.

This month the eHealthInstitute offers Tips for Health concerning common cold and flu season at http://strep-throat-bird-flu.tipsforhealth.com/. On this handy, easy to follow site, surfers can see all manner of health and wellness resources for getting informed about these everyday and often hard to shake maladies. Information to make informed choices about supplements and behaviors is the chief resource in battling and overcoming even the most common health problems.

Head over to the eHealthInstitute to find out the foods to eat and to avoid when you’re sick. Dr. Shoshana shares which nutrients, and which doses, make fighting the flu easier. Find a handy six-step checklist for stopping infections like strep throat from jumping from person to person. Take a true or false quiz on symptoms. Get informed through a series of links to news stories illustrating the current state of bird flu and other hot topics.

Tips for Health is a monthly online newsletter published by Dr. Shoshana and the Tips for Heath team at the eHealthInstitute. She is a doctor of Naturopathic Medicine who combines Ayurvedic approaches with Western medicine. However, authors on the site seek to blend naturopathic and Western medicine. This month, they offer advice on which antibiotics to take to keep strep throat from escalating into Rheumatic Fever and on new drugs the FDA has approved for flu treatment.

Tips for Health also offers recommendations and links to a wide variety of the best quality natural health products and supplements. Learn the roles of and find the best brands for effective sick season products like Oil of Oregano, Echinacea/Goldenseal, elderberry and the right bacteria.

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) May 1, 2009 -

As the swine flu epidemic nears a full pandemic, San Francisco Bay Area doctor’s clinics and hospital emergency rooms have been inundated with patients requesting to be tested. During a time of acute uncertainty and potential hardship, Current Health offers a clear and convenient choice in terms of quality medical care and accurate information. Concerned individuals can contact Current Health – 24 hours a day, seven days a week – and within one hour receive an in-home visit from a board certified doctor. Additionally, Current Health physicians are continually updating the firm’s Web site, Facebook page and Twitter account with valuable insight and information regarding the latest developments associated with swine flu.

On Wednesday of this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported 91 confirmed cases of swine flu across ten states; up from 64 cases in 5 states originally reported as recently as Tuesday. On the same day, the World Health Organization (WHO) said that the global spread of swine flu, a pandemic, is likely. In response to its own warning, the WHO raised its alert level to Phase 5. Phase 5 is the next-to-highest level in the worldwide warning system and up until now has never been declared. “The first line of defense against swine flu – or any large threat to public health – is consistent access to valuable primary care services and preventative medicine,” said Jordan Shlain, Current Health’s CEO and founder. “Current Health offers reassurance, clarity and peace-of-mind through a healthcare delivery platform that is accessible, responsive and affordable.” Current Health is an ‘always-on’ medical practice and provides its members the convenience of house call visits that are available to them 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Current Health performs house calls to San Francisco, Marin and the East Bay – providing many of the same services that are offered in a traditional medical office. Physicians usually arrive at house calls within an hour and generally spend 30 to 45 minutes with each patient, making follow up calls and visits as necessary. Current Health is a fee-for-service medical practice and delivers care based on patients’ needs rather than insurance company policies. During a home or clinic visit, Current Health physicians provide all the paper work and coding for their patients to submit to their insurance company. Most insurance providers will reimburse a percentage (ranging anywhere from 50 to 80 percent) of the service and consider it “out of network.”

Resources

Not only committed to providing convenient access to high quality medical care, Current Health also believes in openly available access to accurate and timely information. Individuals interested in learning more about swine flu and a variety of other healthcare related topics are encouraged to refer to the following resources:

More Flu Press Releases

Orlando, FL (Vocus) November 30, 2009

According to the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report, widespread H1N1 influenza activity has been reported in 48 states in the U.S. Millions of American have caught this pandemic flu since it first surfaced in April 2009 and more than 4,000 have died due to complications related to this influenza infection.

2009 H1N1 Influenza infection is thought to occur in the same way as seasonal flu, which is mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu virus on it and then touching their eyes, mouth, or nose.

Follow four simple health habits to help keep yourself—and others healthy:

WASH YOUR HANDS: Frequent hand washing is the single most important thing you can do to keep from getting sick

AVOID CLOSE CONTACT: Particularly with people who are sick

COVER YOUR COUGH AND SNEEZE” Use a tissue and then wash your hands or cough and sneeze into your elbow to keep germs off your hands

STAY HOME WHEN YOU ARE SICK: Do not go to work, school, or travel when you’re sick. Don’t share your germs! If you do become ill , stay home for at least 24 hours after you no longer have a fever (100° F or greater), or signs of a fever, without the use of fever-reducing medicines (such as Tylenol).
