This study tested 480 camel sera from northern Nigeria for antibodies to brucellosis. The overall incidence of positive titres was 7.5%, indicating exposure to Brucella abortus. Camel meat and milk are increasingly important sources of protein for humans in the region, presenting a potential public health risk. A national brucellosis control program is needed to address this zoonotic disease in livestock and protect human health.

The document discusses using baby boomer volunteers to help address the challenges of caring for an aging population given a shortage of caregivers. It identifies 3 needs: 1) A rapidly growing elderly population needing care at home; 2) A shrinking caregiver base; and 3) An underutilized group of baby boomer volunteers who want to remain engaged.

This document summarizes research on elderly individuals selling prescription drugs. It discusses three potential causes: 1) supplementing limited income from social security, 2) continuing lifelong drug dealing behaviors, and 3) new addictions resulting from overprescribing by physicians. Interviews with former drug dealers suggest some saw it as a way to earn income, not as illegal. However, drug abuse experts believe true drug dealers do not usually live to an old age. The document also discusses poverty rates among the elderly and risks of homelessness without additional income or family support. It concludes that lack of screening tools and overprescribing by physicians may also contribute to elder drug abuse and dealing.
