Revelation medical ambulance on the epidemic of influenza

A medical interviewing  City Ambulance Service, learned about the behind the scenes of the profession. THREE DAYS OF PANIC. The first, which was felt at all the “charms” of panic associated with the flu, doctors were ambulances. After twenty days they say: it was Oct. 30, when Health Minister Andry Knyaz said that the country’s epidemic of A/H1N1, after dinner, a boom rings. All phones are central dispatch urban ambulance called incessantly. “The most interesting is that influenza and acute respiratory disease were only a five per cent of callers, – say at the headquarters of the city ambulance – all other calls – panic. Doctors whisper: the people whom they had searched in those days were very strange, as if hypnotized.“They did not realize what was happening, it’s alarming – recalls on duty in those days paramedic crews Valentine. With her and her colleagues from the first division correspondent “Today” went on several trips. “Test case – a call from state institutions:” Come. Catastrophe.We have a patient with a temperature “- recalls the doctor. - We go, we go to the office. There – the work is paralyzed, officials huddled on the ground floor, all those sad faces, we thought it was too late to come and help the patient can not. The patient was isolated in a separate room, and no one ventured to enter it. She asked from the doorway: “I have something that we here all think?” When are we to measure her temperature – were stunned.

On the thermometer – 36,8, peremeryali – the same thing. We are talking to her, they say, a girl, what’s wrong, you have no same temperature that you invented? What was she like zaoret: “Can not you hear that on TV said: at the slightest symptoms to see a doctor? Or maybe I already fatally infected, and the temperature will be more? “Such a state of stress is kept to the second of November, say doctors. After quietly stopped apart by phone, and people began to return to common sense.“We also noticed that for three days, lasted until this mad panic, there was virtually no accidents on the streets, fights and robberies. It turns out, everything is so scared that ceased to violate the traffic rules, to fight and plunder “- surprised doctors. Epidemic in 79-M. “Have you seen worse! - Says the head of the first branch of the city ambulance Larisa – exactly 30 years ago in L is already raging epidemic of influenza. And the numbers of serious cases was really ambitious. I then worked as a visiting physician, and I can say that most of these patients were ill with flu. Emergency not cope, had to use taxi service, almost all taxi drivers were on duty with us. Attract students of the Medical Institute to help. The doctor of one of the ambulance services of the city of Kharkov Andrew remembers that he had flu has claimed 28 lives only in the L region (at present, victims of the disease in the area – 6 – Auth.): “Of course, we did not advertise, the authorities have forbidden to make up for the panic. But the panic then, as now, still was. I then worked in the district hospital.

I remember that in the wards lay whole families, we even had to move the bed. Places sorely lacking. Lans remember that gauze bandages then not been claimed, on the streets and on public transport people went with the garlic in cheek. It is noteworthy that in 1980, influenza generally does not occur – only a few cases. According to doctors, fearful of influenza-1979, carefully conducted to prevent disease. PLUS flu. The doctors are happy – finally people are reminded of the culture of behavior: “Just imagine how it was before – a human flu, it calls for an ambulance, waiting for the doctor, not even wearing a bandage, that is, he does not think that can infect a doctor or paramedic is not thinks about his family. And after all this panic, people stopped going to the temperature at work, put on masks. In addition, people finally began to be prevented. I think that garlic, onion and snowball with honey all ate at the year ahead. ” Employees of the ambulance saying that instruction on the “Swine Flu” they had back in May and then they began to strengthen their immunity. In Western countries, all employees have quick and vaccinated. In order to inculcate 2500 employees ambulance, to about 30 thousand UAH.

But no money.“By the way, these vaccinations are very tricky, – warn doctors of the emergency” – before it decided, do immunogram organism, or it may just hurt. ” About visitors and intellectuals.Patients were members of an ambulance is divided into several groups. The most unpleasant considered “newcomers”. “It is very brazen, – says Serg nurse, with whom we went to watch. - Come from the villages, and “Pont” shake the king’s. In addition, we have because of them twice as much work. It is pleasant to deal with the same “intellectuals” here in central L are many such families: the professors, military, writers, artists. They and tea to drink, and talk with them is always possible.

Let us not reduce to an absurdity! Be Healthy!

Swine influenza A/H1N1. Is this terrible virus? Or a new global threat to mankind. The main drugs of swine influenza.

A/H1N1 virus under the electron microscope. The diameter of the virus – 80-120 nm
Throughout its existence, humanity is faced with the threat of global epidemics – pandemics. Smallpox, plague, dysentery, tuberculosis, and lots of other known diseases. But it would seem than can be dangerous flu? Headache, joint pain, fever and other symptoms that are not very frightening people. Several days of bed rest, delicious, hot tea and many fruits contain vitamin C, not the most complicated recipe for health, is not it? In fact, we should not forget that it was influenza – “king” of epidemics. It is this virus (and not some kind of plague) is capable of in a few weeks to reach billions of people and virtually stop life on the planet! And if all people are sick, then who will we be treated? Frightening? Yet?

swine flu

swine flu

A/H1N1 virus under the electron microscope. The diameter of the virus – 80-120 nm

In 1933, the influenza virus was officially opened, described and since then the progressive mankind knows how about “work” that nasty virus and why it can be so dangerous.
First of all, influenza is of three types – A, B and C. This causes a pandemic, is rarer and is “only” of the epidemic, and influenza type C, even more rare, and talk about it in light of the pandemic has not yet worth it.
Secondly, the virus – a living creature, and he is able to change, to adapt. How does this happen? Inner part of a small living organism – the flu virus – RNA nucleotide contains odnonitchatuyu (in fact, the genome of the virus), enclosed in a protein sheath. The genome is stable and the same for influenza viruses of the same type. But the additional outer shell – it contains two proteins – hemagglutinin (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) – it is not like that. But when the flu virus enters the human body, our protective forces, fostered the evolution, with terrible force snatch on the virus and … Yes, a person would have been impregnable immunity to influenza. If the flu, for example, was smallpox – if these two proteins did not change with such astonishing speed.


Thus, influenza in 1933 for clarity (and simply to indicate, without any mental reservation) called N0N1 (hemagglutinin H0, neuraminidase N1). However, in 1947, a new variant of the virus – H1N1: neuraminidase remained the same, and hemagglutinin changed beyond recognition. As a result – the immunity acquired by the virus in 1933 N0N1, was in 1947, not a useless old age, but because the disease has changed. “Asian” flu in 1957 was caused by a virus, which replaced both the protein – its formula H2N2, in 1968, the formula would look like H3N2. It has been suggested that the “Spanish flu” H1N1 was the same and they were confirmed: in 1997, Research Institute of AFIP (U.S.) received a sample of the “Spanish” of the virus in 1918 from the corpse of native women in Alaska, buried in the permafrost 80 years ago. It appeared to be strain H1N1. By the way, the last major outbreak of H1N1 influenza was recorded in New Jersey, USA, in 1976


Raises the question – how and where these changes are occurring in the envelope of influenza virus?
And then come to the rescue of our smaller brethren – namely, pigs and poultry. In the early twentieth century, many researchers have observed: almost every epidemic of influenza in humans is accompanied by a similar epizootic diseases among animals. Several years ago the planet was shocked phrase “bird flu”, which turned out to be nothing more than a close relative of H1N1 – H5N1 – although not so close to be transmitted from person to person. And it is good, because deaths from the virus was not a good figure of 50%. Gradually, the bird flu changed, changed – becoming less dangerous for humans, but retaining a small fraction of avian genetic material in RNA. Then one fateful meeting took place – in one organism, one cell met ordinary swine influenza virus (and, of course, pig, human viruses can get sick) and human H1N1 influenza virus with the memory of avian influenza. There was an exchange of gene material and get a new influenza subtype H1N1. And there was this flu chief newsmaker of recent days: April 29, WHO officially confirmed 114 human cases of swine influenza (for officially unconfirmed reports of the disease have died 152), eight cases have died: one, seven in Mexico, one – in the U.S. . Cases of possible infection reported from all continents, and the panic is growing.


So whether the risk of fatal?
The main trouble threatening from this strain of virus – a human has not developed immunity to it. Of course, gradually formed, of course, the virus will change and everything will be new – so history teaches. But there is one weighty and no small “but”: the stages of transmission from human to human virus most often weakens. All other speculation – and the deadly, and on some special features – mass hysteria and nothing more. While hiding under the hysteria and a sad moment – at risk by virtue of state immunity are weakened (and it is the children and the elderly) and people with chronic illnesses (who do not?). For them, the disease can occur especially hard, and possible death. Adult (healthy) people are likely to transfer the swine flu influenza is common – fever, ache in the whole body, cough, headache.
Unfortunately, in this situation, the situation of the inhabitants of post-Soviet space is very similar to the Mexicans took the first blow of the new virus: poor nutrition, neglect of sport, leadership, alcohol and smoking (respectively, the immune system suffers from) and – must admit – care attitude to generally accepted rules of sanitation and hygiene, and health as their own and their loved ones – it is almost a national trait. While, perhaps, yet we’ll even give odds to Mexicans – traditional Russian “maybe” and the recently acquired “I will take the” much worse than the lack of habit of washing hands before eating.


What you need to know
- There is only one group of drugs effective against swine flu – this is the neuraminidase inhibitors II (zanamivir) and III (oseltamivir) generations. Unfortunately, other drugs may well proven in other cases, there will not help.
- More fluid – Pamper yourself with warm tea with raspberries, rosehip decoction, drink just water. Avoid fizzy, sugary and alcoholic beverages.
- Temperature undercut only paracetamol, since the H1N1 strain of increased risk of hemorrhagic complications while taking aspirin.
