Stay healthy in mind and spirit by taking care of yourself and seeking the support you need, when you need it. If you are having difficulty managing your work, studies, cultural adjustment, home life, relationships, or any other personal matter, there are many caring individuals in the community who can provide support, comfort and a listening ear. OISS advisers are good listeners and can make referrals to a counselor, psychologist or other mental health professional.

Methemoglobinemia is a life-threatening disease that must be treated promptly and efficiently. It is diagnosed by performing different diagnostic tests. Methylene blue is being used as a vital treatment for methemoglobinemia, but does not have proven efficacy in patient with G6PD deficiency. Here in the case study, we have reported the case of a 19-year-old male patient with an alleged history of industrial exposure to nitrobenzene (aniline dye exposure in textile factories), who developed methemoglobinemia, for which he was treated with methylene blue. However, there was no improvement in his symptoms. On the other hand, there was a drop in his hemoglobin level with worsening of kidney function due to hemolysis of red blood cells. On further examination, the patient was found to be G6PD deficient. The patient was provided with the only available method of treatment consisting of repeated blood transfusions and ascorbic acid with dialysis to which the patient responded, started recovering and after 26 days of intensive treatment, he was discharged from the hospital.

THE RECOGNITION of rabies infection in insectivorous bats is an interesting and significant discovery which may have far-reaching implications as a new public health problem in the United States. The existence of rabies infection in bats of the United States was unknown until June 1953, when it was diagnosed by the Tampa regional laboratory of the Florida State Board of Health (1). The first bat found to be infected was a Florida yellow bat (Dasyptermu floridai&), which had been killed while attacking a 7-year-old boy near Tampa. Diagnosis was established by the presence of Negri bodies on microscopic examination in routine diagnostic procedures by W. R. Hoffert, senior bacteriologist in the Tampa regional laboratory. Rabies infection was confirmed by inoculation of mice with the bat brain in the Jacksonville laboratory of the Florida Board of Health. The virus isolated was sent to the Virus and Rickettsia Laboratory of the Public Health
在食虫蝙蝠中发现狂犬病感染是一项有趣而重要的发现,它可能作为美国的一个新的公共卫生问题产生深远的影响。直到1953年6月,佛罗里达州卫生局的坦帕地区实验室才诊断出美国蝙蝠中存在狂犬病感染(1)。第一个被发现感染的蝙蝠是一只佛罗里达黄蝙蝠(Dasyptermu floridai&),它在坦帕附近袭击一名7岁男孩时被杀死。坦帕地区实验室的高级细菌学家W. R. Hoffert在常规诊断程序中通过显微镜检查发现内格里体,从而确定了诊断。在佛罗里达州卫生委员会杰克逊维尔实验室,用蝙蝠脑接种小鼠证实了狂犬病感染。分离出的病毒被送到公共卫生病毒和立克次体实验室

The classification by inductive learning finds its originality in the fact that humans often use it to resolve and to handle very complex situations in their daily lives. However, the induction in humans is often approximate rather than exact. Indeed, the human brain is able to handle imprecise, vague, uncertain and incomplete information. Also, the human brain is able to learn and to operate in a context where uncertainty management is indispensable. In this paper, we propose a Boolean model of fuzzy reasoning for indexing the monitoring sub-plans, based on characteristics of the classification by inductive learning. Several competing motivations have led us to define a Boolean model for CBR knowledge base systems. Indeed, we have not only desired experiment with a new approach to indexing of cases by fuzzy decision tree, but we also wanted to improve modelling of the vague and uncertain of the natural language concepts, optimize response time and the storage complexity.

Rickettsia rickettsii, a bacterial organism spread to humans by the bite of ixodid (hard) ticks, is the etiologic agent of RMSF. The two major vectors of RMSF in the U.S. are the American dog tick, Dermacentor variabilis and the Rocky Mountain wood tick, Dermacentor andersoni. Other domestic tick species have been shown to be infected with Rickettsia rickettsia, or have been identified as experimental vectors in laboratory studies. Some domestic ticks have no role in transmission in the U.S. but are considered important vectors in Central and South America. Although the vector of RMSF is the tick, exposure to ticks or tick-infested habitats is only reported in 60% of the cases.
