Mosquito-borne virus infections of horses pose a continuous and expanding threat to equine health in Canada and internationally. The majority of equine mosquito-borne diseases in Canada today are preventable by immunization. What do we need to know to keep our Horses safe from these debilitating diseases? Topics covered will include: West Nile Virus (WNV), Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), and Western Equine Encephalitis (WEE).
There are four main types of disease affecting poultry: metabolic and nutritional diseases; infectious diseases; parasitic diseases; and behavioural diseases.
Metabolic and nutritional diseases
These are conditions caused by a disturbance of normal metabolic functions either through a genetic defect, inadequate or inappropriate nutrition or impaired nutrient utilisation. These include Fatty Liver Syndrome, Perosis (or slipped tendon), Rickets and Cage Layer Fatigue.
Infectious diseases
An infectious disease is any disease caused by invasion of a host by a pathogen which subsequently grows and multiplies in the body. Infectious diseases are often contagious, which means they can be spread directly or indirectly from one living thing to another. These include Avian Encephalomyelitis, Avian Influenza, Avian Tuberculosis, Chicken Anaemia Virus Infection (or CAV), Chlamydiosis, Egg Drop Syndrome (or EDS), Fowl Cholera (or Pasteurellosis), Fowl Pox, Infectious Bronchitis, Infectious Bursal Disease (or Gumboro), Infectious Coryza, Infectious Laryngotracheitis, Lymphoid Leukosis, Marek’s Disease, Mycoplasmosis, Necrotic Enteritis, Newcastle Disease and Salmonellosis.
Parasitic diseases
Parasitic diseases are infections or infestations with parasitic organisms. They are often contracted through contact with an intermediate vector, but may occur as the result of direct exposure. A parasite is an organism that lives in or on, and takes its nourishment from, another organism. A parasite cannot live independently. These include Coccidiosis, Cryptosporidiosis, Histomoniasis, Lice and Mites, Parasitic Worms (or Helminths), Toxoplasmosis and Trichomoniasis.
Behavioural diseases
Abnormal behavioural patterns can lead to injury or ill health of the abnormally behaving bird and/or its companions. These include Cannibalism (or aggressive pecking).
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans. The classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930.
MASTOCYTOSIS:
Is a group of rare disorders of both children and adults caused by the presence of too many mast cells (mastocytes) and CD34+ mast cell precursors in a person's body.
Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is a highly contagious, viral disease that infects cloven-hoofed animals.

Swine influenza has many names like swine flu, pig influenza, pig flu and hog flu.Swine flu is an infection in pigs which is caused by any one of the swine influenza viruses.This infection got the name Swine flu because the first outbreak was seen mainly in people associated with pigs.
Hello friends i am BSc Nursing intern.This presentation of mine covers almost each and every aspect related to swine flu.Hope it will help you to increase your knowledge regarding the topic.Looking forward to your feedback.Thank you
The best fed and housed stock with the best genetic potential will not grow and produce efficiently if they become diseased or infested with parasites. Therefore good poultry health management is an important component of poultry production. Infectious disease causing agents will spread through a flock very quickly because of the high stocking densities of commercially housed poultry.
Avian influenza in herd health and production economicsShareef Ngunguni
Avian influenza is a zoonotic and notifiable disease which occurs world wide. Different risk factors are associated with transmission of the disease to humans. It has two forms HPAI and LPAI. The disease has an impact on public health and economics of the country. In Malawi,it seems the disease appeared in 2005 where it attacked migratory birds
What are the epidemiological characteristics of infection with avian.pdfexcellentmobiles
What are the epidemiological characteristics of infection with avian and swine flu COMPARED
to yearly flu? please be SPECIFIC!
please, don\'t just give me the definition of avian and swine flu.
Solution
Avian Flu:
Avian flu caused by influenza virus in birds. The immediate source of infection for domestic
poultry can seldom start with direct or indirect contact of domestic poultry with water birds.
Many of the strains that circulate in wild birds are either non-pathogenic or mildly pathogenic for
poultry. However, a virulent strain may emerge either by genetic mutation or by reassortment of
less virulent strains. Infected birds excrete virus in high concentration in their faeces and also in
nasal and ocular discharges. Once introduced into a flock, the virus is spread from flock to flock
by the usual methods involving the movement of infected birds, contaminated equipment, egg
flats, feed trucks, and service crews, to mention a few. The disease generally spreads rapidly in a
flock by direct contact, but on occasions spread is erratic.
Swine Flu :
The main route of transmission is through direct contact between infected and uninfected
animals. These close contacts are particularly common during animal transport. Intensive
farming may also increase the risk of transmission, as the pigs are raised in very close proximity
to each other. The direct transfer of the virus probably occurs either by pigs touching noses, or
through dried mucus. Airborne transmission through the aerosols produced by pigs coughing or
sneezing are also an important means of infection. The virus usually spreads quickly through a
herd, infecting all the pigs within just a few days. Transmission may also occur through wild
animals, such as wild boar, which can spread the disease between farms. People who work with
poultry and swine, especially those with intense exposures, are at increased risk of zoonotic
infection with influenza virus endemic in these animals, and constitute a population of human
hosts in which zoonosis and reassortment can co-occur.
Yearly Flu :
Influenza virus is transmitted among humans in three main ways: by direct contact with infected
individuals, through contaminated objects (such as hairbrushes or towels – often called fomites)
and by inhaling virus-laden aerosols. The contribution of each mode of transmission to overall
spread of influenza is not known.The production of aerosols that contain virus particles is
necessary for the respiratory transmission. Speaking, singing and even normal breathing can
produce an adequate amount of aerosols, while sneezing and coughing lead to more forceful
expulsion.
comparision : All the three virus outbreaks happens from contact with different organisms like
birds, pigs and humans but the symptoms are all same and the severity of symptoms are
different. the common symptoms are fever,cough, sore throat, runny nose, headache, fatigue, and
muscle aches. The diagnosis will be doe for specific flu and then treated wit.
Swine flu (swine influenza) is a respiratory disease caused by viruses (influenza viruses) that infect the respiratory tract of pigs, resulting in nasal secretions, a barking cough, decreased appetite, and listless behavior.
Swine flu produces most of the same symptoms in pigs as human flu produces in people. Swine flu can last about one to two weeks in pigs that survive. Swine influenza virus was first isolated from pigs in 1930 in the U.S.
A brief overview of zoonotic risk due to Avian influenza virus. Pandemic influenza virus has its origins in avian influenza viruses. The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus subtype H5N1 is already panzootic in poultry, with attendant economic consequences. It continues to cross species barriers to infect humans and other mammals, often with fatal outcomes. Therefore, H5N1 virus has rightly received attention as a potential pandemic threat. However, it is noted that the pandemics of 1957 and 1968 did not arise from highly pathogenic influenza viruses, and the next pandemic may well arise from a low-pathogenicity virus. The rationale for particular concern about an H5N1 pandemic is not its inevitability but its potential severity. H5N1 pandemic is an event of low probability but one of high human health impact and poses a predicament for public health. Here, we review the ecology and evolution of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 viruses, assess the pandemic risk, and address aspects of human H5N1 disease in relation to its epidemiology, clinical presentation, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and management.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), AKA "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.

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.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

2 Case Reports of Gastric Ultrasound
2. is a respiratory disease of pigs
caused by type A influenza viruses
Flu outbreaks in pigs are common,
especially during winter months
Swine flu can result in high rates of
illness in herds
3. Signs of swine flu in pigs may
include:
coughing (“barking”)
discharge from the nose
sneezing
breathing difficulties
4. High fevers in infected pigs are
common, and can result in reduced
fertility or elevated abortion rates
among sows
Pigs most commonly get infected
with flu viruses from other pigs
(swine flu), but also can get infected
with flu viruses from birds (avian
flu), and from people (human flu)
5. Swine flu viruses are thought to spread
mostly through close contact among pigs
and from contaminated objects moving
between infected and uninfected pigs
Herds with continuous swine flu infections
and herds that are vaccinated against
swine flu might have sporadic disease, or
may show only mild or no signs of
infection
6. Swine flu infections can be
potentially prevented by:
Vaccinating herds
Using good biosecurity
measures
Encouraging good hygiene
practices among workers
7. Veterinarians can help to develop
management strategies to reduce
the spread of flu among herds and to
prevent the spread of flu viruses
between pigs, people, and birds
8. There is no evidence to show that
swine influenza can be transmitted
through food
9. What You Can Do:
1) wash your hands frequently after
exposure to animals and avoid contact
with ill appearing animals
2) If you or your family becomes ill with
flu-like symptoms, let your doctor know
if you have been around pigs that could
have the flu
3) A nose or throat swab is needed to
determine if you might be infected with a
swine flu virus.
