Poliomyelitis, commonly called polio, is caused by the poliovirus. It spreads through fecal-oral transmission and can cause paralysis in rare cases. Children under 5 are most at risk. While outbreaks were once common, vaccination efforts have led to polio being eradicated in most countries. Both inactivated and live attenuated polio vaccines provide effective immunity, though the live version has advantages of lower cost and stronger intestinal immunity. With continued vaccination, polio can be eliminated worldwide.

A brief discussion about POLIO... Though WHO declare Bangladesh as a polio free country it had a lot of hazardous effects in the past and we were the most sufferer country among all the countries... We thank our Govt. without their help we could not be able to call ourselves a polio free country... In this document I try my best to give you all a clear concept...... Hope it'll help everyone.....
Polio or poliomyelitis is first known to have occurred nearly 6,000 years ago, as evidenced by the withered and deformed limbs of certain Egyptian mummies.
Polio was epidemic in the United States and the world in the 20th century, especially in the 1940s and 1950s.
Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious viral disease, which mostly affects young children; the virus is transmitted by person-to-person spread mainly through the fecal-oral route, or, less frequently, by a common vehicle (e.g. contaminated food or water) and multiplies in the intestine, from where it can invade the nervous system and can cause paralysis.
Initial symptoms of polio include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness in the neck, and pain in the limbs.
Etiology
Polioviruses are enteroviruses within the Picornaviridae family.
Direct contact. Poliovirus can be transmitted through direct contact with someone infected with the virus.
Ingestion. Less commonly, it can be transmitted through contaminated food and water.
Clinical Manifestations
Most patients infected with poliovirus develop inapparent infections and are frequently asymptomatic.
Nonspecific symptoms. Fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and oropharyngeal hyperemia are observed in mild cases and usually resolve within a few days.
Nonparalytic poliomyelitis. Nonparalytic poliomyelitis is characterized by the symptoms described above in addition to the following: nuchal rigidity, more severe headache, back, and lower extremity pain, and meningitis with lymphocytic pleocytosis (usually).
Assessment and Diagnostic Findings
To confirm the diagnosis, a sample of throat secretions, stool or a colorless fluid that surrounds your brain and spinal cord (cerebrospinal fluid) is checked for poliovirus.
Viral cultures. Obtain specimens from the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), stool, and throat for viral cultures in patients with suspected poliomyelitis infection.
Serum antibody. Obtain acute and convalescent serum for antibody concentrations against the 3 polioviruses.
IG titer. A 4-fold increase in the immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibody titers or a positive anti-immunoglobulin M (IgM) titer during the acute stage is diagnostic.
Medical Management
The treatment of poliomyelitis is mainly supportive.
Physical therapy. Physical therapy is indicated in cases of paralytic disease; in paralytic disease, it provide frequent mobilization to avoid the development of chronic decubitus ulcerations; active and passive motion exercises are indicated during the convalescent stage.
Total hip arthroplasty. Total hip arthroplasty is a surgical therapeutic option for patients with paralytic sequelae of poliomyelitis who develop hip dysplasia and degenerative disease.
Diet. Because patients with poliomyelitis are prone to develop constipation, a diet rich in fiber is usually indicated.
Pharmacologic Management
No antiviral agents are effective against poliovirus.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

3. Poliomyelitis
• “Poliomyelitis” comes from the Greek word for gray,
polio, and myelo, meaning spinal cord. The Latin
suffix it refers to inflammatory diseases.
• Caused by ‘poliovirus’
• Destroys nervous system paralysis

6. What is poliomyelitis?
• Poliomyelitis, often referred to as Polio, is a virally
induced disease which spreads through the fecal-oral
route. In some cases it may enter the blood stream
and into the central nervous system, often causing
muscle weakness and paralysis. Children at the age
of five and under are most likely to be the victims of
this disease, due to their weak immune systems.
6
4
7. Historical Background
• First recorded case of polio is from a 5 year old boy
from Syria whose history was carved in stone three
thousand years ago.
• Cleaner environment after the Industrial Era led to
epidemics of polio.
• Americans believed that the Italians brought it over
since immigrants are “dirty” and live in the slums.
7
5
8. Historical Background
• 1789, British physician Michael Underwood provides
first clinical description of the disease.
• 1894, first outbreak of polio epidemic in the U.S.
occurs in Vermont, with 132 cases.
• 1962, the Salk vaccine(IPV) replaced by the Sabin
vaccine(OPV) for most purposes because it is easier
to administer and less expensive.
• 2005, 50th anniversary of the Salk vaccine on April
12.

9. Historical Background
• Polio – Then
• 1988
– Endemic in 125 countries
– Over 1000 children paralyzed per day
• Polio – Now
• In 2014 polio was spread between people
of
– Nigeria
– Pakistan
– Afghanistan

10. Causative Organism
• Poliovirus: belongs to “Picorna” viruses which are
small RNA-containing viruses.
• Polioviruses have three antigenically distinct types,
– Type I: “Leon”; the commonest in epidemics
– Type II: “Berlinhide”; the prevailing type in
endemic areas.
– Type III: “Lansing”; occasionally causes epidemics.

11. Reservoir of infection
• Man is the only reservoir of infection of poliomyelitis.
• Man is the only carrier of Poliomyelitis.
11
9
12. Mode of Transmission
• Infection are mostly in throat and small intestines,
poliomyelitis spreads by two routes:
– Oral-oral infection: direct droplet infection
– Faeco-oral infection:
• Through contaminated foods. Vehicles include milk,
water, or any others that may be contaminated by
handling, flies, dust…
Polio virus has the ability to survive in cold environments. Overcrowding
and poor sanitation provide opportunities for exposure to infection
12
10
13. Period of Communicability
• Estimated to about 2 weeks
• Cases: 7 to 10 days before and after the onset of
symptoms.
• Virus is excreted commonly for 2 to 3 weeks,
sometimes as long as 3 to 4 months in faeces.
• In polio cases, infectivity in the pharyngeal foci is
around one week, and in the intestinal foci 6-8
weeks.
Incubation Period: 7-14 days
13
11
14. Host factors
• Age:
– All age groups; children(6 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS
most susceptible)
– more than 95% reported in infancy and childhood
with over 50% of them in infancy.
• Gender:
– no sex ratio differences, but in some countries,
males are infected more frequently than females
in a ratio 3:1.
14
12
17. Inapparent Infection
• Occurs approximately in 91-96% of poliovirus infection.
• Incidence is more than 75 to 1000 times the clinical
cases.
• May or may not have symptoms-
– Headache
– Red throat
– Slight fever
– Vomiting
17
16
18. Abortive polio (minor illness)
• Occurs approximately in 4-8% of the infection.
• Causes only a mild or self limiting illness due to
viraemia (virus in blood).
• Patient recovers quickly.
• Symptoms:
– Moderate fever
– Upper respiratory manifestations: sore thoart
– Gastrointestinal manifestations: vomiting.
18
17
19. Non paralytic polio:
• Occurs approximately in one per cent of all
infections.
• pain in neck and back.
• Disease lasts for 2-10 days.
• Recovery is rapid.
• Signs: paresthesia,paralysis.
19
18
20. Paralytic polio:
• Occurs in less then one per cent of infections.
• The virus enters the CNS and causes varying degree of
disability with destruction of the motor nerve cells.
• Forms: spinal, bulbar, and bulbospinal paralysis.
• Paralysis usually appears within 4 days (around 7-10 days
from onset of disease).
20
19
21. Management
• Treatment of pain with analgesics (such as
acetaminophen).
• Antibiotics for secondary infections (none for poliovirus).
• Bed rest (until fever is reduced)
• Adequate diet
• Minimal exertion and exercise
• Physiotherapy may be necessary.
21
20
22. Prevention
• The best preventive measure for poliomyelitis is ensuring
hygiene and encouraging good sanitation practices.
• But, polio prevention begins with polio vaccination. Polio
vaccine has been developed against all 3 subtypes of the
poliovirus and is very effective in producing protective
antibodies that induces immunity against the poliovirus
and provides protection from paralytic polio.
22
21
23. Types of Polio vaccines
• Two are available:
– An inactivated (killed) polio vaccine (IPV) and
– A live attenuated (weakened) oral polio vaccine
(OPV).
23
22
24. Inactive Polio Vaccine (IPV)
• School children and families were vaccinated, reducing
the incidence of polio by almost 90% within two years
(Bradford).
• +Immunization triggers an excellent immune response
and long-lasting immunity to all 3 poliovirus types
(Bradford)
• +The virus is not live, thus it is easier to manage than
OPV (Bradford)
• -The price of IPV is over 5 times that of OPV (Bradford)
• -IPV induces only little immunity in intestinal tract
(Bradford)
24
23
25. Oral Polio Vaccine (OPV)
• +Easily administered by giving
children a sugar cube or sugar
liquid containing the vaccine
(Bradford)
• +Indirectly protects other
susceptible individuals by
secondary vaccination
(Bradford)
• Less expensive
25
24
26. Conclusion
• Poliomyelitis is acute enteroviral illness.
• The most devastating result of poliovirus infection is
‘paralysis’.
• Poliomyelitis should be considered in the differential
diagnosis of any case of paralysis.
• Vaccination is the only effective method of
prevention.
