Youngsters are likely to suffer the brunt of the worsening health effects of rising global temperatures due to record levels of obesity and physical inactivity, a new comprehensive analysis of recent studies on the topic gave a clear warning. The research led by Dr Shawnda Morrison, an environmental exercise physiologist, argues that while physical fitness is key to tolerating higher temperatures, children are more obese and less fit than ever before and her findings were published in the peer-reviewed journal Temperature. This could put them at greater risk of suffering heat-related health problems, such as dehydration, heat cramps, heat exhaustion or heat stroke. She says that current climate change policies fail to adequately address child health needs and that encouraging children to make exercise part of their everyday lives must be prioritised if they are to cope with living in a hotter world. From Slovenia’s University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport, Dr Morrison is an … [Read more...] about New Research Says Children’s Health Can be Impacted As Global Temperatures Rise

The World Health Organization ( WHO ) has condemned a surge of attacks on monkeys amid fears of the monkeypox virus. During a press briefing on Tuesday, the WHO responded to the recent spate of monkey killings in Brazil. In Sao Jose do Rio Preto, a city in the state of Sao Paulo, police are investigating the poisoning and intentional injuring of at least 10 monkeys in less than a week, killing seven, according to Brazilian news website G1. Police said they believed the attacks were motivated by fears surrounding the news of three confirmed monkeypox cases in the area. Similar incidents of people poisoning or throwing stones at monkeys have been reported in other cities, according to local media. "What people need to know very clearly is the transmission we are seeing is happening between humans," said WHO spokesperson Margaret Harris. "The concern should be about where it's transmitting in the human population and what humans can do to protect themselves from getting it and … [Read more...] about WHO decries monkey killings, says monkeypox is passing “between humans”

Once again, the United States is messing up its approach to vaccines. Three months into its monkeypox outbreak, just 620,000 doses of the two-injection Jynneos shot—the nation’s current best immune defense against the virus—have been shipped to states , not nearly enough to immunize the 1.6 million to 1.7 million Americans that the CDC considers at highest risk. The next deliveries from the manufacturer aren’t slated until September at the earliest . For now, we’re stuck with the stocks we’ve got. Which is why the feds have turned to Inoculation Plan B: splitting Jynneos doses into five, and poking them into the skin, rather than into the layer of fat beneath. The FDA issued an emergency-use authorization for the strategy yesterday afternoon. This dose-sparing tactic will allow far more people to sign up for doses before summer’s end; if successful, it could help contain the outbreak in the U.S., which currently accounts for nearly a third of the world’s documented … [Read more...] about America’s New Monkeypox Strategy Rests on a Single Study

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 2 When a new disease erupts, misinformation and rumors tend to proliferate — as witnessed in the past with the AIDS crisis , the Ebola outbreak and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic . Now it’s the monkeypox outbreak ’s turn. Monkeypox is not a new illness, but because of its rarity prior to the current outbreak that has infected more than 31,000 people globally, much of the confusion revolves around how the virus spreads and ways that people can become infected. Monkeypox is in the same family as smallpox, but causes milder symptoms and is rarely fatal. The vaccine developed for smallpox is used for monkeypox as well, but vaccine supplies have been scarce, and the rollout to the eligible population has been frustratingly slow for many . On Aug. 4, the Biden administration declared a national monkeypox health emergency. San Francisco and California issued similar proclamations … [Read more...] about Does monkeypox spread through the air, or on surfaces? Here’s what to know
