The Hidden Risks and Solutions: Exploring the Global Spread of Avian Flu

A polar bear in the Arctic, red foxes in Europe, penguins in Antarctica, and various other wild animals have fallen victim to the flu virus strain that is currently spreading among dairy cattle in the United States. This alarming trend raises concerns about the interconnectedness between human health and wildlife. With up to 75% of new infectious diseases originating from animals, understanding and monitoring these diseases among wild populations becomes crucial for identifying emerging health threats.

The Urgency of Wildlife Disease Surveillance

While government agencies worldwide closely monitor avian influenza in wild birds, there is a significant lack of surveillance when it comes to other wildlife diseases. Thomas Gillespie, a disease ecologist at Emory University highlights this issue by stating that “there is very little surveillance of wildlife for any diseases.” The current focus remains primarily on commercially valuable animals or those specifically targeted by hunters.

Catch up quick: Since 2020, outbreaks of avian flu have been on the rise globally affecting farmed poultry as well as wild bird populations. However, more recently, this virus has also started infecting mammals with devastating consequences.

The neocortex, a structure essential for human intelligence, is less than five millimeters thick. There, in the outermost layer of the brain, 20 billion neurons process countless sensory perceptions, plan actions, and form the basis of our consciousness. How do these neurons process all this complex information? That largely depends on how they are connected to each other.

What was known until now about the neuronal architecture of the human neocortex was based mainly on findings made from studying animal models such as mice.

The human neocortex is much thicker and more complex than that of the mouse. However, the scientific community had until now assumed (partly due to lack of data) that it followed the same basic principles of connectivity.

Now, in a new study, for which cutting-edge technology and exceptionally difficult to obtain tissue sa

After the global epidemic ended, people began to go out and even go abroad. As a result, many patients with ankle pain appeared in outpatient clinics. If not treated properly, they can cause long-term consequences. Rehabilitation doctors explain that if you usually do little exercise and suddenly walk or do a lot of exercise, resulting in ankle sprains, strains and inflammation, active treatment is recommended to avoid chronic upper body pain.

The ankle has a complex structure and can cause movement difficulties if it suffers a sprain or strain.

Liu Bihan, director of the Health and Rehabilitation Clinic, explained that the ankle is a very complex joint in the human body with many movements. It is mainly composed of the tibia, fibula and talus and is covered by multiple ligaments: on the outside, there is the anterior talofibular ligament and the posterior talofibular ligament and the calcaneal fibular ligament, and the medial side is a large deltoid ligament.

In addition to maintaining ankle stability during running and jumping, these structures can also prevent eversion and external rotation of the ankle caused by excessive movement, preventing sprains, strains or tears.

Ankle sprains or strains occur most commonly during physical activity or when walking on rough roads, especially when you usually exercise less, suddenly walk for a long period, or do strenuous exercises, such as mountaineering, badminton or work involving a lot of travel, etc.

Even as muscle mass is lost with age and strength weakens, chronic injuries can occur due to reduced joint stability. To make a correct diagnosis, the doctor must carry out an ultrasound diagnosis to confirm whether it is an acute or chronic injury or a ligament injury, a bone fracture, etc.
