More U.S. teenagers receive the recommended vaccines

More American young people get their vaccinations recommended that responsible for the Federal Republic of Health reported Thursday.
In some cases the number of young people, grew always the recordings that 15 percent of 2008 2009, according to the Centers for disease control and prevention.
"This is a map of the nation Declaration on how the nation in the protection of teenage preventable diseases is" Dr. Lance Rodewald, Director, Division of immunization said services from CDC National Center for immunization and respiratory diseases. "It is very important to vaccinate and protect young people against preventable diseases."
This year the cover on the rise for a further three vaccines is systematically much like last year, recommended for young people, Rodewald said.
Three vaccines are the booster-tetanus diphtheria acellular pertussis (cough), DTAP, The conjugate meningococcal vaccine (against meningitis). and for girls, the vaccine against the virus of human papillomavirus (HPV), the fight against cervical cancer.
Note Rodewald, that all these vaccines are relatively new and it takes several years for the cover of new vaccines from 90 percent target.
DTAP is a new vaccine that replaced the booster of TD, to the pertussis component add Rodewald said.
This is the fourth year, the CDC released a report of the vaccine and young people and reporting, which every year, Rodewald added. "Were this year about the same amount they went up to the last year", he said.
Researchers collected data on more than 20 000 children aged from 13 to 17 years, participated in the 2009 National Immunization Survey-teen. The results were published in the issue of CDC morbidity and mortality report weekly August 20.
Other important results:
The number of young people, who received the shot wide DTAP rose 15% to a total of 56%.
54% of young people get a dose of conjugate vaccine against meningococcal, almost 12%.
44% of girls receive at least a dose of the vaccine against HPV, an increase of 7%.
27% of the girls get three recommended doses of vaccine against HPV, 9 percent.
More than 89% of teens had the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine that same as in 2008.
Vaccination against hepatitis B are increased to 88 percent in 2008 to nearly 90 percent in 2009.
A factor that can affect the rates of vaccination among young people, it is that many young people as often as younger children, not their doctor said Rodewald.
He said "Children an edge have, that these visits clearly defined Wache, which gives a natural platform for vaccination, and young people are not quite as many doctor's visits,".
Coverage also by States varies. For example, had vaccine against meningococcal and HPV, according to the report maintained only in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and the Rhode Iceland more than 60 per cent coverage for three systematically vaccines in adolescents - DTAP.
"For each of these vaccines is a great selection in all States," said Rodewald. “” “”. “"Some States are faster door for a new recommendation".
Meningococcal vaccine coverage ranges from 20 percent in the American Virgin Islands, to almost 80% in the District of Columbia and Tdap coverage of 34% in the US Virgin Islands, to 72% in Wisconsin and New Hampshire.

Ground beef, is remembered in ten Member States

Potentially deadly E. coli bacteria contamination led to the recall of books 14 158 of beef in ten States.
The beef was beef premium Creek PANTONE farms, is located in Arkansas City, Kansas. She was sold in large 40 and 60 - lb to wholesalers in Arizona, California, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Washington.
However, this was probably beef consumer-sized packages repackaged and sold under various brand names of retail.
The safety of food United States and inspection service (FSI) is trying to find all retail stores, where the meat was sold. So far, only 28 outlets in Missouri, have been identified. These outlets are the price cutter, Ramey, market of the country, Murfin, Mike stock, Smitty, and the market, that stores Bistro.
E. coli during the test noted, by one of the wholesalers that shipped the product of the routine.
The specific bacteria found in beef e. coli O157 are: H7. This is a very bad mistake. Infection can cause that a bloody diarrhea, dehydration, and in severe cases, kidney failure. Very young or very old is especially susceptible to serious disease, such as people with immune system is weak.
The best way to prevent food poisoning by e. coli to the food security care through manipulation, raw beef and good cook beef an internal temperature of 160 degrees.

Important toes of the balance of the body and the feet

A new model use the researchers to learn how toe power can determine to what extent people can sit, while keeping their balance.
The results could support that closely imitate parts of the body in the construction of the robot human movement and could lead to a new generation of advanced prosthetics.
Hooshang Hemami, Professor of electrical and computer engineering at the Ohio State University has to investigate a complex computer model of the foot, what role built the feet and toes in the definition of the movement and the balance of the human body.
Many studies of the human balance on the legs and the upper part of the body, was in defiance of the feet, he said.
Hemami is one of a handful of researchers who analyze how manipulate toe strength can affect human balance.
"To reduce the complexity of the problem, the feet are often neglected or modeled using simple shapes, give the really full credit on the importance of the feet," Hemami next.
Hemami and a colleague, Laura Humphrey, a computer model developed to various parts of the foot, from a message body and a footer, the four different sections represent, while body assign a section. This allows Hemami and Humphrey, first and foremost the pressure of the feet and toes to focus on, how they have manipulated the movement towards the front of the body.
Hemami and Humphreys work was published in a recent issue of the journal of biomechanics. The researchers carried out simulations of static balance and forward look in the body of computer modeled and compared to observe the results with those in the scientific literature.
Static equilibrium is when a subject's right or one angle and stabilized in this position with the surface of the foot on the ground to stay. The computer model can perform bent forward indefinitely, but people later declared Hemami experience muscle fatigue.
Built-in Hemami and Humphrey model allowed them, results, which supports the results of the balance of topics displayed. You have run tests for three different cases: static balance in healthy subjects, static balance prior to the test in healthy subjects and patients with toe strength reduced.
To model it mimics a theme with reduced power of the toes, the a muscle weakened one of the sections in the foot of computer modeled Hemami and Humphrey, displayed directly on the big toe. This muscle, the Arch of the foot to control, which provides support for the organization in a call.
The results show that a person in good health, toes became more important, that the person is pleased.
How computer modeled body forward turned the pressure on the toes and under the pressure of the heel in a similar way has been reduced significantly increases.
If that computer modeled with force of the toes reduced same static balance tests on the body made were remained the pressure under the toes to 0 (zero). First the pressure under the heel is significantly higher than in healthy individuals, and as the body pressure under the only reduced heel, half of what it has done, the healthy subject.
The maximum angle, the a healthy body, the computer model without her heels raised ground to the size of address could was 12 degrees vertically. The model with reduced power of the toes could count only on the front of almost 10 degrees.
The computer model supports studies on real back, explains Hemami. Deviation: could his computer model 12 degrees without their heels-based forward while the real people of only two - third lean than - 8 degrees.
"This gap could be that people feel maximum theoretical range of motion, not comfortable with their psychologische-," Hemami said.
Mr Hemami Laura Humphrey was one of his students and has since attended State of Ohio.
"Now we have a proper computer model, we hope to explore in future of the sensory apparatus and other features of the toes in various human activities," said Hemami.
It works with Ian Alexander, Professor of orthopaedic surgery in the State of Ohio, in the near future.
In the future Hemami, model required wants the human spinal cord and development of a system for mathematics and pressure to determine the level of coverage for specific tasks. Hemami uses the sample should be given of how much, keep an egg in your hands, without leaving or crashes it pressure.
"My hope is that my work will inspire the construction of the models of the robot from different parts of the body, which can go for the human body." If you are a model of the robot or computer a football as a football player can make, we have a better understanding of how different parts of the body of work while moving. Then, perhaps, one can create artificial spinal cord, which can help people with disabilities, "Said Hemami." "Attach spinal cord Robotics, who is disabled can help build muscle."
"We try to which muscles can to do to develop model, and the advanced prostheses so that something better to offer people who need it, helping", said Hemami.

Siemens provides an international investigation on the knowledge in breast cancer screening

For Siemens of company fur consumer research (GfK) famous German market research institute respondents women 25 to 65 years on the subject of cancer screening. The survey treated cancer tests, their general knowledge of early detection and personal feelings about the reliability of the sources of information in particular the experiences of women with breast cancer. In this way, Siemens wants to determine what in General were information needs of women and develop therefore awareness and educational materials. A total of 4 000 women from eight countries took part in the investigation.
The international breast cancer awareness in October 2010 Siemens started a worldwide campaign to raise the public awareness of breast cancer. These efforts called Siemens Research Institute of the German market GfK, a study to learn to perform more information women, the behaviour and their current state of knowledge about the screening. The GfK led an online survey with each 500 women in Austria, Brazil, China, Germany, India, Russia, Sweden, and the United States. "This election informative, international comparisons allows us since early detection in different countries - is otherwise treated, and this affects the State of mind and the knowledge of women,", says Norbert Gaus, Clinical Director of Siemens Healthcare products. A total 4,000 women 25 to 65 years with various levels of education and income was involved in the investigation.
The majority of respondents - 82 percent in the average, that early detection essential, it is subject to. Survey in particular participants in Germany, the Sweden and the Austria believe that periodic review detects changes in the breast sooner or even the disease prevent. In India, 35% of surveyed women awareness give the chest as the reason why they are important screening - a statement that is virtually not in other countries role. "A possible explanation for this may be several non-governmental organizations are currently running massive information and India campaigns to raise awareness and promotion of women, to get involved in the topic", explains Lucienne Bormann, project manager at GfK.
As a result, the majority of participants in the survey in India rate of their own know about as good breast cancer screening. However, only 40% of surveyed women feel well or very well informed; with a view to the average of all the surveyed countries, Here, the Russia and China made the low results. Only every other German woman said that formal program of screening - know one though, that invited since 2003, Germany women 50-69 years were on a public mammography screening program. Women in this age but most familiar group of the State with a screening program be.
On the basis of the results of the survey, Siemens plans to prepare the material for which supports breast cancer screening, which e.g. can doctors their patients and their awareness of specific information for each country. "The survey found that women confidence most likely their doctors, the reliable information on the topic of breast cancer to find", Norbert Gaus said. In particular, the specified women in Germany (89%), Austria (95%) and Brazil (73%), that they consider the most reliable source their gynecologists for information on cancer screening. The doctor was also often mentioned. The Swedish women prefer however to receive the information centres or public authorities. The average of the countries shows that more than two-thirds of the surveyed women a consultation with the doctor before or after a review of the most important service in terms of the screening to look at.

Responsible for research for travelers, the measles

Tracking travelers, who were exposed to the measles after a passenger who was contagious crossed three major US airports are health officials.
In a statement, Tom Skinner, spokesman of the Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC), a woman with a confirmed case of measles travelled from the UK Denver International Airport to Washington Dulles International Airport, and airport Albuquerque said last week.
Skinner said the CDC available provided has the official first information to track the health of passengers on flights, who may have been with him in contact, and if their vaccines are updated.
Responsible for the health of the Colorado issued a warning Friday, travelers and workers at the Denver International Airport from possible exposure to the passenger that is New Mexico and was at the airport for several hours Tuesday evening.
Skinner said the case believe officials contractually monitored diagnosed measles.
He said that States will determine, who sit on danger and other passengers near the confirmed case is generally to watch.
Measles is a highly contagious virus spread person to person, the seven, 18 days after exposure developed. It looks and feels like the first, but later a rash develops a cold on the face and spreads to the rest of the body.
People with measles are contagious four days and four days after the eruption.
Measles is the leading cause of death in children in the developing world, but it is rarely seen United States where vaccination is required for all children of school age.
The CDC according to the recent outbreak of measles in the United States in 2008, in which more than 130 cases in 15 Member States were reported.

7 Ways you age your skin are

What you hop in bed is always wear your mascara? Try a new product of the skin, the shelves? These common errors can be displayed, no biggie, but is in the course of time they can be a toll on your skin to take and let you look prematurely old.
Don't worry: It's not too late. Here, down to us break your bad habits of the skin, and shows you how to avoid - and look 10 years younger.
Sunscreen to jump
Track No. 1, that you are aging? Wear sunscreen every day.
"The Sun is the main cause of the aging of the skin," says Neil Sadick, MD, a New York City-based dermatologist. And cloudy days, rain or snow can reach the Sun. In addition, Dr. Sadick, adds "harmful for the skin to UV rays can you penetrate glass, so that the protection from the Sun in must apply."
He proposes to choose broad spectrum sunscreen, which blocked the two types of UV, UVA and UVB - rays, with a sun protection factor of at least 30. -Rich antioxidant formulas with ingredients such as Resveratrol, C, can vitamin Idebenone and coffee berries added protection offer.
Neglecting your hands and neck
Her face is not the only area needs a little TLC. The Sun overexposure will affect on your hands and neck, as well as your complexion. These areas show signs of aging, such as dark spots, drought and loss of strength, notes Dr. Sadick.
Treat the neck and the back of the hands, generous as your face in application moisturizer and sunscreen. While you can buy products location, they are not required. The formulated for your face works very well, said Dr. Sadick.
Handle buttons place
With the fluctuations of hormones, women over 40 regular acne occur problems. But with treatment on the ground, to free red spots is only dry skin, a raw and irritated - zone, and it has helped to heal the bud.
Instead treat Carolyn Jacob, MD, Director of the Chicago and dermatology aesthetic surgery, your whole face with a fighting acne or a moisturizer every day. This is to prevent the best choice for future outbreaks.
In the bed go your makeup, without removing.
You are also tempting to bed after a strenuous day or night on the town - fall without cleaning your face. But can a cleaner to jump in at night to escape later.
Environmental toxins (such as dirt and pollution) accumulate on the skin and penetrate into the pores, which can cause skin problems, Dr. Sadick explains during the day. So hit the bag before you wash. Use a good cleaning, and save your skin. You keep towels to clean the nightstand for convenience - just drag a box and sleep.
Trenches too fast products
If you frustrated that your new anti-aging moisturizer does not work, pique more moved. Bouncing a product you have the impression that nothing for your skin works.
Dr. Jacob recommends that at least six weeks give a new product, to produce a change in your skin. "A cycle of skin takes 30 days [for new cells reach the top layer of the skin] to a real difference in tone, texture and to see clarity you need for more than a month," said. “”. The product contains anti aging ingredients, longer wait. Your skin takes about four months, the collagen and elastin to rebuild, she said.
Too many products both
If a new moisturizer is good, does the combination of new serum, toner and night cream be better to directly?
Not so fast. If your skin is irritated to have used a handful of new products, you know, what is the cause of the problem and assume that they all irritating. Instead "you begin with one at a time, and every two weeks to integrate a new product," explains Dr. Jacob. In this way you will go better overwhelmed your skin able to identify what is aggravating to you or know, makes what combination of them. In addition, you save some types of purchase only what you need.
Skimp on sleep
Always insufficient shutdown can result in the ring and a dull complexion and aging skin prematurely - and in the short term. Our skin cells are fighting in the day against an attack from stressors, UV radiation and pollution. Sleep is important, because the stress hormones to normal levels fall at night, that the time of the cells to repair and rejuvenate, explains Dr. Jacob.
In addition raises the voltage levels of the hormone cortisol, increases the production of oil and episodes of acne, can lead according to Dr. Jacob. Make sure that you are not depriving, sleep, you need.
