Gastrointestinal Diseases from Animals

Novi —  A gastrointestinal virus has one of Oakland County’s toniest retirement communities on a near-lockdown with 129 residents and 33 staff stricken. Fox Run is known for its fitness center, pool, beauty salon, restaurants, cafeteria, pub and the like, all of which have been closed for weeks as management tries to stifle the spread of the ailment a the community of 1,300 residents. Symptoms of the illness, according to communiqués to residents from managers, include a possible low-grade fever and “the sudden onset of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and some stomach cramping.” The first case was reported Nov. 12, according to Fox Run.

EAST LANSING (WWJ) - A virus is hitting Michigan State University's East Lansing campus. In a memo to staff and students on Thursday, the university says a number of cases of people having nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have been reported recently.  The notice says the virus is not related to food, and runs its course in one to three days without medical attention. It's unclear how many cases are linked to the campus community. The Ingham County Health Department is monitoring the situation. Students with gastrointestinal symptoms can contact the Olin Health Center at 517-353-4660. https://ift.tt/38frQzM

About 170 people have become sick with a gastrointestinal illness after spending time recently in Yosemite Valley, according to Yosemite National Park. As of Thursday, there have been two confirmed cases of norovirus. The overwhelming majority of sickened patients exhibit symptoms are consistent with the illness, according to the Park. The unpleasant sickness has afflicted employees and visitors at the park. Most cases appeared in early January, Yosemite officials said.  The National Park Service Office of Public Health is continuing to investigate the outbreak, alongside Yosemite National Park Officials.  Norovirus is a very contagious virus that causes vomiting and diarrhea, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It spreads quickly, through contact with an infected individual, touching an infected item or eating or drinking infected food or liquids. Yosemite recommends visitors frequently wash their hands with soap and water, and av...

Washington : Roughly half of the world’s population carry in their stomach the bacteria Helicobacter pylori (H. Pylori), known to be the most significant risk factor for ulcers, MALT lymphoma and adenocarcinoma. A research team has now revealed a new mechanism that controls the causes of infection due to H. Pylori that triggers the development of stomach diseases. It is hoped that these findings will lead in time to new therapies. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications. A team of national and international scientists led by Prof. Dr. Steffen Backert from the Chair of Microbiology at FAU has investigated how the bacteria manipulate the host’s immune system in order to ensure their long-term survival in the stomach. Chronic inflammation is the most common cause of stomach illnesses such as these. The researchers have identified a ‘molecular switch’ which uses a previously unknown mechanism to regulate the inflammation reaction in the stomach. The interaction be...

“That terrible disease we saw in 2009, it’s still here. It circulates every year and still has the same complications and severe disease, and we have certainly seen that this season,” said Suttorp.

The vaccine will serve as more of a protective shield and can lessen your chances of getting infected. She added that the reason the flu vaccine is offered every year is because strains can change over time. She said anybody who is six months or older has access to a free flu shot (it’s not licensed for anyone under six months of age) and illness and comp...

Washington D.C. [USA], Jan 11 (ANI): The helicobacter pylori (H Pylori) bacteria, which is found in the stomachs of nearly half of the world's population, is known to be a major cause for ulcers, MALT lymphoma and adenocarcinoma . A new mechanism that controls the causes of infection due to H Pylori that triggers the development of stomach diseases has been revealed by researchers in an FAU study. It is hoped that these findings will lead in time to new therapies. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications.

Infectious diseases triggered by bacteria and other microbes are the most frequent cause of human mortality across the globe. Roughly half of the world's population carry the bacteria Helicobacter pylori ( H. Pylori ) in their stomach, known to be the most significant risk factor for ulcers, MALT lymphoma and adenocarcinoma in the stomach. The rapid spread of pathogens resistant to medication such as antibiotics is making it increasingly difficult to treat infections such as these using antimicrobial therapies. A research team from Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) has now revealed a new mechanism which controls the causes of infection with H. Pylori , triggering the development of stomach diseases. It is hoped that these findings will lead in time to new therapies. The study was published in the journal Nature Communications .

(WKOW) -- The flu isn't the only virus keeping people home sick right now. Dr. Kyle Martin, an emergency physician at SSM Health, said his department has been seeing more cases of norovirus. Norovirus is a highly contagious, gastrointestinal virus that usually lasts up to three days. Dr. Martin said you'll typically start feeling sick 12 to 48 hours after exposure. Dr. Martin said to look for the following symptoms as signs of norovirus: Nausea Stomach pain Vomiting Diarrhea Fever Headache Body aches If not treated, Dr. Martin said dehydration can occur and lead to serious complications, so watch out for the following symptoms: Decreased urination Dry mouth, throat Dizziness upon standing Crying with few tears (in children) Extra sleepiness or fussiness (in children) Seek medical help right away if you suspect dehydration. Dr. Martin encouraged anyone with norovirus to get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. To stop norovirus from spreading, Dr. Ma...
