HIV AIDS

AIDS stands for acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. It is the most advanced stages of infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is a virus that kills or damages cells of the body’s immune system. HIV most often spreads through unprotected sex with an infected person. AIDS may also spread by sharing drug needles or through contact with the blood of an infected person. Women can give it to their babies during pregnancy or childbirth. Many people do not develop any symptoms when they first become infected with HIV. Some people, however, get a flu-like illness within three to six weeks after exposure to the virus. This illness, called Acute HIV Syndrome, may include fever, headache, tiredness, nausea, diarrhoea and enlarged lymph nodes (organs of the immune system that can be felt in the neck, armpits and groin). These symptoms usually disappear within a week to a month and are often mistaken for another viral infection.

During this period, the quantity of the virus in the body will be high and it spreads to different parts, particularly the lymphoid tissue. At this stage, the infected person is more likely to pass on the infection to others. The viral quantity then drops as the body’s immune system launches an orchestrated fight. More persistent or severe symptoms may not surface for several years, even a decade or more, after HIV first enters the body in adults, or within two years in children born with the virus. This period of “asymptomatic” infection varies from individual to individual. Some people may begin to have symptoms as soon as a few months, while others may be symptom-free for more than 10 years. However, during the “asymptomatic” period, the virus will be actively multiplying, infecting, and killing cells of the immune system.
There is no cure for AIDS at this time. However, a variety of treatments are available that can delay the progression of disease for many years, and improve the quality of life of those who have developed symptoms.

Antiretroviral therapy suppresses the replication of the HIV virus in the body. A combination of several antiretroviral agents, termed highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), has been highly effective in reducing the number of HIV particles in the blood stream, as measured by a blood test called the viral load. This can help the immune system recover from the HIV infection and improve T-cell counts.

Although not a cure for HIV, and people on HAART with suppressed levels of HIV can still transmit the virus to others through sex or sharing of needles, these treatments have been enormously effective for the past ten years. There is good evidence that if the levels of HIV remain suppressed and the CD4 count remains high (above 200), life can be significantly prolonged and improved. However, HIV may become resistant to HAART in patients who do not take their medications on schedule every day. Genetic tests are now available to determine whether a particular strain is resistant to a particular drug — these may be useful in determining the best drug combination, and adjusting the regimen if it starts to fail. These tests should be performed for any failing treatment course, and prior to starting therapy.

Using Search Engines

If you are new to the Internet, Search engines are the best place to start. Search Engines are the Yellow Pages of the World Wide Web – you can get what you want in a matter of seconds, as long as you know what do you want to search. But many new users could get overwhelmed by the amount of websites revealed in each search. The lack of knowledge on how to search could just leave you wading through mountains of useless information. Here’s how you can optimise your search and get exactly what you want:

There are different search engines that are suitable for different purposes. You can use a search engine like www.altavista.com or a directory like www.yahoo.com. The main difference between the two is that while directories are maintained by human editors who review the websites first before including them, search engines crawl the Web searching for web pages automatically and index them. Some sites like www.google.com have both a search engine and a directory. Then there are free-text query engines like www.askjeeves.com let you phrase your search in the form of a question in simple English. You can also have region specific search engines. For example, Indya.com is a good place to be if you want India-specific searches.

How can food poisoning be prevented?

Following these guidelines you can prevent most food poisoning cases:

* Wash your hands! Wash them before, during and after food preparation. Use soap and warm water and wash for 20 seconds. Wash after touching raw meat, fish or poultry. Wash your hands after every trip to the bathroom. Washing is the most important thing you can do to prevent food poisoning.

* Use hot, soapy water to wash cutting boards, utensils and anything else that was used to prepare food.

* Use a diluted bleach solution to clean cutting boards and countertops after food preparation.

To clean kitchen sponges and dishcloths, rinse them in water, squeeze out the excess water and microwave at full power for 60 seconds. Be careful in removing hot items from microwave so you don’t burn yourself.
* After handling raw meat, fish or poultry, do not reuse the same utensil or plate. Bacteria from the raw juices will contaminate other food.
* Do not use a sponge or dishcloth to clean surfaces that have touched raw meat, fish or poultry. Use soap, water and a disposable paper towel.
* Wash all fruits and vegetables well before eating.
* Cook all food thoroughly.
* Taste food only when it is thoroughly cooked. Use a clean spoon each time.
* Keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold. If food is allowed to remain at room temperature for two hours or longer, bacteria can multiply and cause food poisoning.
* Refrigerate all leftovers soon after meals.
* Hot food does not have to be cooled before placing it in the refrigerator.
* After shopping, refrigerate frozen food as soon as possible. If thawed, use immediately. Do not refreeze.
* Defrost meats and poultry in the refrigerator or the microwave.
* When camping, don’t drink stream water. No matter how clear the water looks, it can still contain dangerous bacteria and other organisms.
* Don’t buy or use food from dented, bulging or rusted cans. If you have a can with a dent on the seam, throw it away. Don’t even open it.

Contaminated food may or may not smell, taste or look bad. Don’t taste suspicious foods. Don’t ask anyone else to taste it either. Even a tiny amount of contaminated food can cause severe illness. If you have any doubt about the safety of the food, throw it out! Don’t give possibly spoiled food to pets: They can get sick from bad food, too. Not even the most expensive food is worth a case of food poisoning, human or animal. Dispose of potentially tainted food by placing it down the garbage disposal or wrapping tightly and placing in the trash.

Technology Evolution

Each of the past three centuries has been dominated by a single technology. The 18th century was the era of the great mechanical systems accompanying the Industrial Revolution. The 19th century was the age of the steam engine. During the 20th century, the key technology was information gathering, processing, and distribution. Among other developments, we saw the installation of worldwide telephone networks, the invention of radio and television, the birth and unprecedented growth of the computer industry, and the launching of communication satellites.

As a result of rapid technological progress, these areas are rapidly converging and the differences between collecting, transporting, storing, and processing information are quickly disappearing. Organizations with hundreds of offices spread over a wide geographical area routinely expect to be able to examine the current status of even their most remote outpost at the push of a button. As our ability to gather, process, and distribute information grows, the demand for ever more sophisticated information processing grows even faster.

Chaos: A New Science

Computers are often viewed as the epitome of a mechanized, inhuman world. People often express fear that computers will create an “Orwellian” world in which personal freedom and expression will be eliminated. However, a contrasting view perceives computers as our liberator by performing the many tedious tasks heretofore done by humans, thereby allowing people to more fully realize their growth potential. This idea is simply to let machines and people do what they do best. Nowhere is this more striking than in the science of Chaos (Gleick, 1987). Chaos, as the name implies, is a new science that explores events that are seemingly erratic, random, and haphazard. However, this science has begun to understand that many phenomena that seem to be random events on the surface may actually have a hidden order lurking below. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the science of Chaos is that these phenomena do not simply occur at the molecular or atomic level, but at the everyday level as well. Examples of chaotic phenomena are the turbulent patterns in mountain streams, ribbons of smoke from a cigarette, flags waving in the breeze, and the dripping of a leaky faucet.

Heart Transplant

When you have heart failure, your heart is still working but not as efficiently as it should. A weakened or damaged heart isn’t able to pump enough blood to keep up with your body’s needs. A heart transplant can be a lifesaving option when other treatments fail.If your doctor recommends that you consider a heart transplant, he or she will likely refer you to a heart transplant center for an evaluation. You’re also free to select a transplant center on your own, but check with your health insurance provider to see which transplant centers are covered under your insurance plan. When evaluating heart transplant centers, take into account the number of heart transplants a center performs each year and recipient survival rates. You can compare transplant center statistics on the Web through a database maintained by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients. Also consider additional services provided by a transplant center. Many centers coordinate support groups, assist you with travel arrangements, help you find local housing for your recovery period, or direct you to organizations that can help with these concerns.

A heart transplant usually needs to occur within four hours of organ removal for the donor organ to remain viable. Because of this time restraint, hearts are offered first to a transplant center within the region, then to centers within certain distances of the donor hospital. Surgery usually takes about four hours — longer if you’ve had prior heart surgery or there are complications during the procedure. The surgeon will open your chest cavity and connect you to a heart-lung bypass machine to keep oxygenated blood flowing throughout your body. The diseased heart is removed, and the donor heart is sewn into place. The new heart often starts beating when blood flow is restored. Sometimes an electric shock is needed to make the muscle fibers contract in a coordinated manner.You’ll have some pain after the surgery, which will be treated with medications. You’ll also have a ventilator to help you breathe and tubes in your chest to drain fluids from around your lungs and heart. Recovery often involves a one- to two-week hospital stay and about three months of frequent monitoring by the transplant team.

Macromedia Flash

Macromedia is not exaggerating when it says that Flash is "the professional standard for producing high-impact web experiences." You only need to visit a few sites that use Flash to understand how compelling it is. Using graphics, animation, sound, and interactivity, Flash can excite, teach, entertain, and provide practical information. More than half a billion users already have the free Flash player (which is needed to view Flash movies). The fact that Macromedia continues to distribute this software so effectively means that the potential audience for Flash content is huge and continues to grow. Also, the fact Adobe decided to acquire Macromedia is due to Flash's enormous success.

The tools needed to create Flash movies are within your reach. After you purchase Flash, the only investment you need to make is time learning. You can even download Flash from www.macromedia.com and use it for 30 days before having to purchase it. It's exciting to watch people go from fiddling with Flash to making entertaining movies. Imagine a great musician picking up and learning an instrument in a matter of days. It really is that amazing. If you're motivated, with just a moderate time investment, you'll feel as though a powerful communication tool has been given to you.

Flash is so unique that sometimes the less experience you have, the better. If you have preconceived ideas about what Flash is or how you're supposed to use drawing tools, it might be best to try to forget everything and start fresh.
