Diagnosing pulmonary diseases ilike asthma in young children is still largely a matter of trial and error, according to Saskatchewan's top pediatric respirologist.   As viruses and colds tear through schools and daycares across North America, Dr. Darryl Adamko wants to change that.   “If you have asthma this year and you're not taking your inhaled steroids, well you're rolling the dice,” said Adamko, who's watched an influx of young patients over the past few months at the Jim Pattison Children's Hospital in Saskatoon.   In children, problems with breathing are the leading cause of hospitalizations.   Undiagnosed asthma and other pulmonary conditions in children mean small patients have a a much tougher fight when they're infected by Covid-19, RSV or influenza.   “You have to be taking those preventative drugs first before the virus finds you,” said Adamko.   That's why he's pinning down biomarkers for pulmonary disease in a familiar tool for family doctors: urine samples.   “We still really don't have a great test for like preschool kids. It's just history for the most part,” he said.   Using mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance imaging, he and his team have spent more than a decade analyzing urine samples and refining their methodology.   “Now that we've got enough urine samples analyzed that, I think we've got a good signal,” said Adamko.   His research today is aimed at creating a urine test that would give giving family doctors and paediatricians a faster, more efficient way to diagnose pulmonary conditions long before kids arrive at the hospital.   In this episode, he explains why a resurgence of RSV after years of Covid restrictions has hit young patients hard.   “It's really bad for little babies. It loves the smallest little airways,” Adamko said. “This year the problem is we've got a bunch of two-year-olds, and one-year-olds who have never seen these viruses.”

ALSO: Several Franklin County state legislators say they're weighing whether to support impeaching the county's newly elected sheriff next year and removing him from office; According to the Federal Communications Commission, more than 95% of Vermont households have broadband internet access, but state officials say that's an overestimation; After Thanksgiving, Irasburg Village School will lose its only middle school math teacher. 

RSV is also known as Respiratory Syncytial Virus.  The season for RSV is typically late fall (November/December) through early spring but this year it began earlier in combination with several other active viruses (Rhinovirus, Influenza A, Covid-19).  As a result, it is not only causing illness infants and children but overwhelming hospitals and emergency departments. What is RSV RSV is a viral (not treated with antibiotics) infection that causes cold like symptoms (runny nose, sneezing, fever, sore throat) as well as impacting the lungs resulting in cough, wheezing, increased work of breathing and sometimes severe respiratory distress. RSV targets the small to medium airways of the lungs and causes sloughing of tissue which can result in breathing problems. RSV will generally only cause cold type symptoms in older children but can be dangerous in infants under 6 months to a year old. Treatment The treatment for RSV is generally supportive; nasal suctioning, fever medication, and fluids. There are no antiviral medications or vaccines to date for RSV and it is not treated with antibiotics. When To Seek Care The care is generally supportive however parents should look out for breathing difficulties and dehydration Signs of breathing difficulties include wheezing, grunting, increased rate of breathing, belly breathing and using extra muscles to breath in the rib cage neck and abdomen. If you see any of these signs, you should have a discussion with your pediatrician and seek care in an emergency department. Love this?

„Es geht wieder rum“ – vom RS-Virus über Bindehautentzüdung und dem Rhinovirus ist alles wieder am Start im Herbst. Nach der langen Pause mit wenig Kontakten müssen die Immunsysteme unserer Kids gerade ordentlich kämpfen und abwehren. Monja und Anneta frischen nochmal ihr Wissen auf: Was ist jetzt wichtig für das Immunsystem der Kids? Indoorspielplätze waren lange Zeit auch zu, jetzt schon länger wieder offen. Die Glaubensfrage unter den Mamas: Die einen trauen sich schon wieder rein – die anderen eher noch nicht.

  Imagine yourself in California at a clearing in a large forest. And it's on fire. There are three groups of people standing before you. A large group is screaming and running around pointing at the fire. They're yelling that we need to do something, anything we can to stop the fire. Meanwhile, there is another group (not as large) with their backs to the fire. They are mocking and ridiculing the group running around panicking. They tell them to calm down and to stop ordering people around. They insist there isn't anything wrong at all. Of course, the largest group of people are standing between these groups and looking behind those panicking at an intact forest and behind the ones who don't notice the giant flames licking at the backs of the those ridiculing the screamers. These people aren't sure what to do but in the interest of safety feel that getting away from the flames is probably the right decision. They tend to stand with the group that's worried. Obviously, this analogy describes our current situation with COVID in America. Most are not in one of the extreme camps. But we either identify with one or are left standing unsure of what to do or think. What needs to be done, and what I did with my friend Dr. David Graham in April of 2020, is to try and be reflective and better understand what it is that we are dealing with. What are the biological, historical, and medical facts or suppositions that we can make to understand this pandemic? If we return to our analogy of the forest fire, it would be best if we could somehow hop up in a hot air balloon and look down at the situation to assess what would be the best individual actions and true scope of the problem. History and biology could be used to understand the nature of fires, how they spread, what do you do to stop them, and what they are likely to do in their course. Contrary to popular opinion, we have some rough ideas about what happens in pandemics and where we will end up. And THAT is the critical fact that we have to accept - those in all camps and in between. Because if we get THAT wrong, then we get everything else wrong. The critical question we must ask is what is the endpoint for this pandemic? What is the biological consequence for SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) and its effect on humans. We have to agree on the ultimate end point in order to get our policies and strategies right for surviving the pandemic. What became obvious to us in April of last year was that this virus, despite some government efforts at the time, would become endemic. It would join the other four coronaviruses that currently cause the common cold as a virus that will circulate forever throughout the human population. It will not get eradicated. It will infect everyone probably multiple times throughout your life. This is the biological history of endemic coronaviruses. It really is the way all these common respiratory viruses operate. Rhinovirus, adenovirus, parainfluenza virus - they infect your upper respiratory tract (nose, sinus, mouth) and cause a cold because although you don't have enough antibodies to prevent infection (because they've waned over time or it's a new variant that looks different enough to evade your antibody response) you have memory T and B cells that mount a quick response after infection to prevent a systemic or lower respiratory infection (pneumonia). We know you get this immunity as a child and anyone who has kids knows small children are always sick with runny noses as they are constantly exposed to these different cold viruses which builds up their long term immunity to them when exposed later in life. The mRNA vaccines are a medical miracle and trick your body into generating an immune response. It's not magical (except the technology) and an elegant way to get your body to do the work so when it sees the real virus in the wild, it will seek it out and destroy it. But respiratory viruses often infect us before we can mount a complete immune response so you get sick and can transmit the virus. This isn't a failure - your body has done what it needs to do - and so has the virus which just wants to reproduce and move to the next host. We live in an equilibrium with these viruses, we develop immunity when we're young so if we are exposed when we're older we can prevent really bad outcomes. But we get sick and the virus continues to circulate in the world's population with different viruses coming and going. It's a sort of dance. So what does this all have to do with our wild fire? Well, we know this thing will burn until there isn't any fuel. And fuel is considered people without immunity to the virus. There are only two ways to get immunity - a vaccine or infection. Until the virus has burnt all the fuel, it will continue to burn - there is nothing we can do to stop it. We might slow it down, we might find ways of treating the fuel on fire (although most treatments for viruses are not very good), but ultimately, everyone is going to get it. What does history tell us about coronaviruses? Well, until SARS-CoV-2, we had four endemic coronaviruses that cause colds. The youngest is OC43 which researchers believe jumped from cows to humans in the late1800s. This was at the same time as the “Russian Flu” worked its way around the world so perhaps that flu was actually a coronavirus. If so, OC43 caused a lot more problems to humans back then who were older and naive to the virus according to the news reports from all over the world. But by now, we have all had multiple infections with OC43 and its variants from when we were kids to today where we usually feel terrible for a few days or maybe a week. Over time, the virus does ‘mutate' towards becoming more benign and infectious but that usually takes a long time. Anyway, it serves as a useful road map for what might happen to us in our biological dance with this new unwelcome visitor. We also know, that immunity to these respiratory viruses wanes over time. Either with natural infections or vaccines. The only way you can develop better immunity is through booster shots or infections. But what we really care about - ending up in the hospital - is focused almost entirely on the non-immune. This is a nasty bug, it affects the obese and elderly the most and it isn't going anywhere. It has definitely killed hundreds of thousands of Americans. So this gets us to the important policy considerations - if we know that it is endemic (which was obvious over a year ago) then how should we approach our public health? Obviously, the only point to slowing the spread at this time is if you could get those without any immunity (no infection and no vaccine) vaccinated to minimize the number of people clogging our hospitals. But you can't get to any vaccination rate that will stop the spread of the virus. There is no herd immunity threshold - no number of vaccinated and immune to perfectly prevent its spread. Besides the fact that our ability to slow the spread is questionable anyway, it just doesn't make a difference in the end. We are all going to get this virus. Somewhere, there's a date with you and you and you and me with this virus. Whether you've been vaccinated or not you will almost assuredly get infected. If you have some immunity through a vaccine or previous natural infection, you are much less likely to get very sick. So mandating vaccines - if we agreed that it was wise and just - wouldn't matter much to those who are vaccinated. It may slow the spread and delay the next time they're exposed but they will still get it when their immunity wanes. And again and again. If your mitigation measures worked, all you would do right now is extend the time it takes for everyone to get immunity unless you believe you can convince those who won't get immunized to get the vaccine. Even so, that only really benefits those who have chosen to not protect themselves while inconveniencing everyone else and taking away a lot of rights and simple joys of life. It's easy to see how we got here. Mission creep is not just something that happens with the military - it happens in public policy too. By believing that we could prevent people from getting infected, we have embarked on a strategy that is unwindable and with no clear end point. There is a preponderance of evidence that people can get reinfected multiple times with COVID and after vaccination. Both through research and observational data we know that infections with SARS-CoV-2 will continue to happen forever whether you are vaccinated or not, whether you have had it before and recovered, and no matter where in the world you are living. Fundamentally, we have been chasing a zero-COVID strategy in almost every aspect of our society. Obviously, vaccines are a great idea for those who are at risk. I like to point out to how getting chicken pox (Varicella) as an adult is a completely different experience for an adult than it is a child. Adults can die from chicken pox whereas kids almost never do. Also, an infection of varicella puts you at risk of getting shingles later in life which can cause pain and a host of other problems. This is one reason why we vaccinate children for chicken pox. But clearly, vaccination (since we know it won't stop transmission in its tracks no matter how high the rate is) is a strategy to keep people out of the hospital and free up hospital resources for other things like heart attacks, strokes, cancer, etc. Masks, lockdowns, testing and quarantining and any other mitigation efforts are Zero-COVID policies which are of dubious efficacy and ultimately, make no difference since we will all get infected eventually. The most sensible reason to resist vaccine mandates, masking rules, and various lockdown measures in the US at this point is because they are attempting to stop what cannot be stopped. Even 60% of the deer in Michigan have had COVID and serve as a reservoir for the virus along with mice. SARS-CoV-2 is not going anywhere so acting like you can keep it out is akin to wrapping yourself with a towel when you go swimming to stay dry. Perhaps you could argue that you are waiting until there is a childhood vaccine but that might take months or years until you get large enough numbers of kids' parents to get their kids vaccinated. What target are you looking at? It is exceedingly rare for kids to get really sick with this virus. Do these measures justify affecting their socialization and education and all the other aspects of life we take for granted? Is it worth having every child see other people as disease vectors rather than unique individuals to whom they can get to know, collaborate, play, love, and innovate? Some might argue that the infirm or immunocompromised (like those with solid organ transplants) are at risk and we should encourage vaccination to protect them. Again, the vaccinated can still spread the virus and the only thing vaccination does is frees up hospital resources (which is important). However, once people have had an infection once or maybe twice, they are much less likely to clog the hospitals. Either way, all you're doing is maybe buying some time with these extreme measures but not significantly altering the course of the pandemic in any significant way. The effect of all these mitigation measures falls hardest on our youth. They are the ones who need socialization the most. They are the ones who need interactions for learning the most. I'd argue that right now our greatest generation is our youth, (gen Z and gen alpha) as they have given up the unique experiences of high school sports, graduation, dances, gatherings, the arts - in order to protect the elderly in our society. They have given up so much and we must recognize that and always ask ourselves how much more do we need them to sacrifice to slow the spread of an inevitable disease. We have become so locked in to thinking that we need a zero-COVID strategy to slow the spread that we have forgotten that that was only supposed to last as long as it took to protect those who wanted protection. We've gotten there and now it's time to allow those who want to isolate go do it and let everyone else go about their lives.

  Vidcast:  https://youtu.be/2cAaR6gfQwQ   Runny, stuffy noses may become more welcome since cold viruses have the unexpected benefit of preventing the flu.  Yale laboratory medicine researchers tabulated 3 years of clinical data from some 13,000 patients.   Their data show that rhinovirus-infected cells present closed doors to the influenza viruses for about 5 days.  When cold viruses enter human cells they trigger production of the anti-viral agents called interferons.    Though they have no evidence as yet, the researchers speculate that cold viruses could offer some protection against CoVid19 as well.  I wouldn’t purposely go out looking for a cold but maybe don’t dread one either as it may be the best of 3 evils.   https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanmic/article/PIIS2666-5247(20)30114-2/fulltext   #influenza #colds #covid #rhinovirus

Did you know that the RHINOVIRUS is the most common infectious agent in all human beings? It can cause loss of senses, facial pressure, throat irritation, and headaches. Why the hell is the word palindrome not a palindrome in itself? Doesn't that defeat the purpose. I also hate when people define a word for you and just use that word in the definition.. like seriously? Thanks mom for having me learn all those songs in the car with you as a kid, it definitely made my learning techniques more efficient in ways that I probably couldn't have done had I not learned all those random songs, verbatim.

There are approximately 130,000 infants hospitalised each year in the US due to bronchiolitis. The majority of these cases are caused by either rhinovirus or respiratory syncytial virus (RSV). Rhinovirus is associated with increased risks of acute and chronic respiratory outcomes compared with RSV, however the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.In this episode, Kohei Hasegawa from the department of emergency medicine at the Massachusetts General Hospital, discusses his recent experiment aimed at unravelling the underlying mechanisms between the two viruses' different outcomes by comparing the nasal airway microRNA profiles of infants infected with either virus.

5 other viruses that cause "flu" symptoms Rhinovirus (cold) - most colds don't come with a high fever, but the other symptoms are present. Coronavirus (SARS) - includes gastritis, nausea, and vomiting on top of the other symptoms RSV - usually prominent in kids and leads to hospitalization due to the respiratory inflammation that can lead to an emergency Adenovirus - first isolated in the adenoids; responsible for viral tonsillitis Parainfluenza virus - in the 50's, they would swab the mouth or throat to determine what was making a person sick.  There was a group of kids sick with the “flu” symptoms.  The doctors swabbed all these kids and noticed that some showed a virus that wasn't the influenza virus they were used to seeing, so it's name essentially means “around influenza”. These viruses have nothing in their makeup similar to influenza, therefore, the flu shot will not protect you against these. Are flu shots really worthwhile? The short answer, yes.  It not only keeps the shot-getter protected (and even a little protection is better than none at all), it keeps healthy people from being carriers of the virus from spreading it to weaker members of the population (little kids, elderly, immunocompromised).  And while the flu isn't the primary reason people end up hospitalized or dying, the secondary complications (i.e. pneumonia) are what can kill people.  Getting the flu shot is a simple and quick process, and is also relatively painless. And there is absolutely NOTHING in the flu shot that can give you the flu.  Your body can have an immune response because that's the point of the shot, to activate your immune system so it'll learn what to do if the real flu shows up.  But obviously there are 5 other viruses you can catch that will give you symptoms identical to the flu. Do more people get sick now than a few years back? More people on the planet means more people probably get sick.  But if we have a preventable disease and people choose not to prevent it (in themselves or their kids), then more people will start getting it (aka measles).  We had almost eradicated measles from the US until a larger group of people decided not to get their kids vaccinated, and now it has resurged.  Children worldwide die from measles, why would we want to put our own kids at that risk? Despite the poorly matched vaccine in recent years, those that got the flu reported shorter duration and milder symptoms. And obviously, the flu shot is not the only thing that is going to protect you from the flu this winter.

This episode is a recording of Richard Fontana's talk, Open Source Projects and Corporate Entanglement from the 2011 Linux Collaboration Summit, with some commentary from Bradley and Karen on the talk. Show Notes: Segment 0 (00:34) Bradley is still recovering from a rhinovirus which he didn't take care of and also made him sicker, which explains the problems with his voice. In fact, the coughing in the background during Fontana's talk is all Bradley. He apologizes. (00:50) This show is Richard Fontana's Linux Collaboration Summit 2011 talk, Open Source Projects and Corporate Entanglement. (03:24) Segment 1 (03:48) Richard Fontana's slides for his talk, Open Source Projects and Corporate Entanglement are available on his website. (04:29) Bradley was live-denting Fontana's LCS talk. (04:31) Richard Fontana is the purveyor of the disturbing group on identi.ca. (04:30) Fontana makes reference to a Bradley's blog post on switching back to Debian from Ubuntu. (05:55) Fontana pointed out that the GNU Manifesto deals a lot with how Free Software is completely compatible with many business models. (12:30) Fontana pointed out that many of the relationships between companies in Free software have great variability in level of transparency. (16:00) In the background, you hear Bradley saying something. He's giving Josh Berkus credit for the phrase throw code over the wall, a phrase which both Fontana and Bradley now use regularly.
