A Bellvue man who contracted meningitis during a hockey game in June died Monday night after a series of strokes. Vasculitis is an inflammation of blood vessels that occurs when the body's immune system attacks them by mistake, according to the National Institutes of Health. Bill Jubert was one of three players to develop meningitis after a Fort Collins Adult Hockey League game at the Edora Pool Ice Center, 1801 Riverside Ave. Brian Wormus, 29, died June 14, and Nick Smith, 28, died June 22.
The players should have got their disease checked out earlier. It says that this disease is one of the most deadliest if not treated early. You can get vasculitis on blood vessels in the brain. It took two months for the diagnos and there was possibily a connection with the meningitis. some people seem to recover but most of the time there seems to be symptoms such as numerous strokes. Players can now get vaccinated and avoid contact with saliva and mucus.

STDS .
In Forsyth County, the already high cases of STD’s are increasing even more, including aids. Recent reports from the NC division of Public Health found that gonorrhea, syphilis and Chlamydia have increased rapidly from January to September in 2009. Much more than it did In January to September in 2007. Forsyth is the only county to increase in all four categories. The health department found this out, when discovering new cases of syphilis in August, which by the way is already increasing at a rapid rate. Syphilis is a bacterial infection spread through sexual contact that can produce rashes or sores in the groin area. The suspect person can only find out if their infected is by taking a blood. Left untreated, the disease can cause damage to the heart and central nervous system. All the STD’s that are increasing in the population are curable accept AIDS. Local and state health officials began an outreach effort in various communities trying to slow down the rate and suggested the population to get tested for any type of STD’s and many agreed. That was on August 29, 2009 and since then the rate is still increasing, so officials don’t know what else to do next.
I personally think the officials should try harder to reach out to the community to help slow down this deadly rate. Sending speakers to schools to speak about STD’s, AIDS and protected sex is a way to help also, informing people that STD’s can be very deadly and need to take responsibly as a sexually active person to protect themselves and others. Also informing people about the increasing rate would get a lot of people’s attention. No I think this will fully stop the transmission of AIDS and STD’s but I honestly do think it will help.

They can also invade the tissues in your body and form a mass of malignant tumors.Breat cancer can be cured and it is not always necessary to get it removed.Some factors that you can not change is being a woman , getting older , and gene changes.The symptoms are a change in the way the breast feels , and a painless lump or thickening in the breast or underarm , the skin in the breast may dimple or look like and orange peel and there also be a change in the size.When you have your regular physical exam your doctor checks your breast just to make sure you dont have any lumps or changes in your breast.You can get surgery to remove the cancer from the breast and you will need several weeks of radiation after the surgery.Breast cancer can be prevented by eating healthy and make exercising your new routine and also if you drink alcohol you need to limit the amount you drink.
My opinion of this article is that it is telling you some good facts that your should already know.That is why you need to always go and get a mammagram to be on the safe side.You should eat healthier and keep your body right.Breast cancer is a very bad thingand you can get real sick from it.But that is why i always go to the doctors and let them check me out.

This article talks about how there has been studies to show that more adults survive cardiac arrest when someone gives them continuous chest compressions, then by giving them mouth to mouth. When someone is going to give two breaths of mouth to mouth, it usually takes 16 seconds which is long enough for the organs to start starving for oxygen. Using hands on, your hands are you heart, and as soon as you stop using your hands your heart stops supplying the blood to your brain. Giving mouth to mouth there are so many questions that someone is asking themselves they don't think about how long they are breathing, so the breaths that they could be supplying could just be useless.
My opinion on this article, is that if studies do show that hands only works better for a human, then that is what should be use. You usually are caught off guard so anyone wants to take the easy way out. Also no one knows how someone Else's body is going to react, so if the breaths you are giving them are not strong enough, then when you helping their heart pump you have a better chance at helping save someone life.

New Therapy Found for Lung and Skin Cancer, Based on Suicide Gene E
Scientists at University of Granada developed a new therapy for the treatment of skin and lung cancer. This involves use of a suicide coliphage-gene that induces death to cells transfected with it. Studies have shown that the technique is not only effective in vitro , but also in vivo through the use of experimental animals in which tumours were induced.
I think its good that there is a new therapy that has been found to cure theses cancers. This is better because its something different to try out

Gender bending chemicals in plastics 'raises risk of prostate cancer'
Scientists have recently discovered that a certian chemical found in the plastic of babies' bottles could be showing the risk of obtaining prostate cancer, by testing on newborn rats. When the reserchers fed the baby rodents bisphenol A, a basic building block used in making plastic, they showed no signs of cancerous tumors or cells as they aged. They have found that these tests are directly relevant to that of a babies' health.
I believe that these tests are very important towards the welfare of babies' health. Scientist should always test things that are an imediete risk to a human's health, even if it has not been proved to be harmful.
