Salam n Hello to all my friend, Tam here..firstly, exspecialy for Madam Rozmel, i'm very sory late to respond this blog.This first time i communication using the blog and is new thing for me.Beside, my English language not very well.I also agree for our discussion about H1N1.For my part of research i will try the best to elaborate to find out the effect of H1NI.
ReplyDeleteHai Mathura..wish u happy deevapali
ReplyDeletehai mathura here,as we already discuss the topic my part of research is about local health activity towards the virus.In prevention of H1N1 local health deparment are have few organations such as WHO,HEALTH DEPARMENT,MY HEALTH ,INFOSIHAT,CDS AND KLINIK CEGAH DAN RAWAT H1N1 as authorities for this flu.They are responsible to get the latest news and speared the news quickly to the public by using flyers,posters and video.The goverment has set a web page on this matters.the ministry of health will up with the latest news on H!N! in newspaper every Wednesday.The hotline will operate from Monday to Friday 8.00-5.30 pm (adapted from http:/h1n1.moh.gov.my/ )
ReplyDeletehai mathura here .Please give comment on my research objective. I am worried because next week we must summit our presentation but look like we are on the air.Tommorrow Iwill post the research question for all of you to give comment.Please do so for the sake of our group.

Hello....I'm Amir.This is my tips regarding to my subtopic How to prevent H1N1?:
ReplyDeleteStep 1 Wash hands frequently, and use the proper hand washing technique: both sides of hands with warm water and soap, for 15-20 seconds. If you can't wash your hands often, carry alcohol based hand sanitizer with you at all times.
Step 2 Avoid touching your face inadvertantly. If you have touch a contaminated surface you can infect yourself by touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
Step 3 Cough or sneeze into your sleeve, rather than into your hand. If you are infected this will prevent you from spreading it to your family or others around you through your hands.
Step 4 Keep surfaces in your home clean. Wipe door knobs, light switches, faucets, toys, and counters with disinfectant or disinfectant wipes.
Step 5 Know the symptoms of swine flu. If you or anyone in your family have symptoms of swine flu, call your doctor immediately (especially for children under the age of five). DO NOT send your children to school if they are sick, and stay home from work if you are feeling ill as well.
Step 6 As soon as swine flu vaccinations become available, get yourself and your family vaccinated. It will take awhile for your system to develop immunity after you are vaccinated.
To all my freinds please leave a comment or any suggestions to my ideas.Tq
hai Amir I already read your steps on prevention on H1N1 .Please add in the source you get from so we know or madam Rozmel know about our source.thank u luv mathura
ReplyDeletehai,mathura here, this is my research question please give comment
ReplyDeleteThe World Health Organization declared a pandemic of H1N1 swine flu on June 11, 2009.
The announcement means the swine flu virus is spreading from person to person in a sustained manner outside of North America. Cases are mounting in Australia, the United Kingdom, Spain, Japan and Chile.
"We are satisfied that this virus is spreading to a number of countries, and it is not stoppable," WHO chief Dr. Margaret Chan said in making the formal announcement of a Phase 6 alert, which signifies a pandemic.
Declaring a pandemic signals governments to spend more on containing the virus and for drugmakers to speed up development of a swine flu vaccine, but does not necessarily mean the virus is causing more severe illnesses or deaths.
Health officials in Canada and the U.S. have already dealt with the community spread of swine flu, which WHO now acknowledges is also occurring on other continents.
Most cases worldwide have been mild, requiring no treatment, but WHO is concerned that an increase in infections could overwhelm hospitals, particularly in poor countries.
Pandemic forecasts estimated that up to 300,000 Canadians might get sick enough with swine flu to require hospitalization.
Aboriginal people were hit hard in previous pandemics, and the UN health agency has expressed concern that some First Nations communities in northern Manitoba have experienced more severe illness from swine flu.
So far, young healthy adults and pregnant women also appear to be disproportionately affected, Chan said.
The last pandemic — the Hong Kong flu of 1968 — killed about one million people. Ordinary seasonal flu kills about 250,000 to 500,000 people each year.
"It's a little bit paradoxical. You would think that by going up a scale, that it would mean that the level of concern should go up. But really what the going up the scale would mean is that we are seeing greater spread of the virus," Dr. Keiji Fukuda, the WHO's acting assistant director general for health security and environment, said June 9.
"It does not mean that the severity of the situation has increased or that people are getting seriously sick at higher numbers or higher rates than they are right now."
The agency still considers the impact on countries to be "relatively moderate."
On April 27, the WHO raised the pandemic alert level to Phase 4, confirming that human-to-human spread of swine flu had occurred in Mexico.
Two days later, the WHO raised the alert level to Phase 5, which means the new strain of H1N1 influenza A virus that first appeared in Mexico was being regularly transmitted among people who hadn't been to Mexico.
Phase 5 indicates:
* Sustained human-to-human transmission of a virus in at least two countries in one region.
* Community-level outbreaks could occur.
* The outbreak is unlikely to fizzle out.
Phase 6 includes all of the above plus a geographic spread of the virus to more than one region.
On June 5, the WHO said any future declaration of a pandemic would include information on the severity of the disease. But strictly speaking, WHO's definition of a pandemic depends only on the geographic spread of the virus, not how many people become seriously ill.
"It all comes down to how transmissible and severe it is," Dr. Michael Gardam of the Ontario Agency for Health Protection and Promotion said.
"I personally think going to Phase 6 helps on one level because it forces people to pay attention to this," he added.
People can "take planning up a notch" by thinking about making contingency plans if a lot of people fall ill, such as working from home and considering child care options if schools close.
Swine flu clearly isn't in the category of the 1918 influenza pandemic, known as the Spanish flu, in terms of death and illnesses, but the jury is still out on how many people are really sick, since not everyone gets tested.

hai mathura here again this my main points on responsibility of WHO.
ReplyDelete1. Is the virus new?
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control said the H1N1 strain of swine flu includes genetic material from four sources: North American swine influenza viruses, North American avian influenza viruses, human influenza virus and swine influenza viruses found in Asia and Europe — a combination that has not been recognized anywhere in the world before.
2. Does it cause severe disease?
The WHO needs to weigh the differences in severity seen in some local outbreaks in Mexico, New York and First Nations reserves in northern Manitoba compared with the rest of the world.
Another infection could be at play; the genetics of the virus could differ; or there may simply not be enough cases in young adults outside of Mexico to see severe disease, experts say.
Underlying chronic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes, poverty and poor living conditions like overcrowded housing and lack of running water, as well as the legacy of previous outbreaks of respiratory diseases such as tuberculosis could also be factors, said Mary-Ellen Kelm of Simon Fraser University in Vancouver. Kelm holds the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Peoples of North America and has studied the effect the 1918 flu pandemic had on First Nations people
"It's not acceptable," said Dr. Marsha Anderson, president of the Indigenous Physicians Association of Canada. "The housing crisis is not new in First Nation communities, [but] I think those problems are just magnified when you have an acute situation such as this."
By the end of the summer, researchers will have a better idea of how many people were infected with swine flu from antibody test results and seeing what happens in the southern hemisphere, where it is currently seasonal flu season.
Each city will bring in control measures such as closing schools and telling people to stay home when they are sick, depending on what is happening in the local area, not based on the pandemic call, Gardam noted.
In April, Fukuda said there is no good explanation for why the infection has caused so many fatalities in Mexico compared with relatively mild illnesses elsewhere.
Researchers are looking at the ages of people who were infected, clinical studies of people who had a more severe outcome and laboratory studies of their antibodies, he added.
Seasonal flu kills about one person in 1,000, which is considered a Category 1 illness.
If the death rate for this new strain approaches 0.5 per cent to one per cent, it would be considered Category 2, said Donald Low, medical director of Ontario's public health laboratories and chief microbiologist at Toronto's Mount Sinai Hospital.
To determine the severity, researchers need information on 100 to 200 cases, including people at risk such as the elderly or those with underlying disease, Low said.
New flu viruses can also set off a harmful overreaction in the immune system called a cytokine storm that can be lethal in itself.
3. Does it move efficiently between people?
Human-to-human spread has occurred, and it's now unlikely that H1N1 will fizzle out.
The question is how easily does it move between people? Researchers are conducting studies to determine the answer. In the meantime, surveillance is critical, including for those who have not been to Mexico, said Richard Schabas, medical officer of health for Hastings and Prince Edward counties in eastern Ontario.
There are several other questions and issues for doctors and public health officials to consider.
Scientists have sequenced the virus and are growing copies of it to make diagnostic tests and potential vaccines.
So far, this H1N1 strain of swine flu responds to the oral antiviral medication oseltamivir (sold under the brand name Tamiflu) and the inhaled drug zanamivir (Relenza). Doctors in Canada and the U.S. are holding the medications in reserve because they don't want to risk the virus gaining resistance.
The value of containment measures such as masks also needs to be assessed.
Salam n hai to my friend..i already read mathura main point that give a new informations.My subtopic is 'the effect of H1N1'
ReplyDeleteThe state will :
Firstly,HEALTY
- can couse death
- to person infected that is harmful for obesity person, pregnent women,children and also to people that have bad immunity toward diseases. (18 sept 2009 -3480 case, Health Ministry)
Secondly, SOCIAL
- effect on their social life
- job quality became low
- public movement retarded
- effect on school,public intitution and other primis to close and stop activity.
Thirdly, ECONOMIC
- foreign investment become low and decrease
my friend please leave any suggestions..
The common guestions is "How long this virus can survive?"
ReplyDeleteFor informatoin, research showed influenza virus can survive on the surface of the objects and can infect peoples in two until eight hours. That right!!!!
Hello I'm amir......I want to respond to the question that Tamziah asking.....Where I got the information about the prevention of H1N1?.For information I've got it from my friend which working at Ministry of Health (Disease Controll Department).
ReplyDeleteHai amir thanks..your idea very good,and this opinian i got from http.//www.h1n1.gov.com
ReplyDeleteIf you are sick with flu-like illness,
-it is recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Wear a mask and keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making others sick.
- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.
- Wear a mask if you have to go out to seek medical care or when in contact with others, avoid taking public transport.
Hai again from me..just share a information..
ReplyDeleteHow the best wash your hand :
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. Wash with soap and water or clean with alcohol-based hand cleaner. It is recommends that when you wash your hands -- with soap and warm water -- that you wash for 15 to 20 seconds. When soap and water are not available, alcohol-based disposable hand wipes or gel sanitizers may be used. You can find them in most supermarkets and drugstores. If using gel, rub your hands until the gel is dry. The gel doesn't need water to work; the alcohol in it kills the germs on your hands.
