NEW DISEASE READ THIS

MAY 2014
Dengue is a viral infection spread by mosquitoes.  It is widespread in tropical and sub-tropical regions. In the month of February 2014, the Dar es Salaam Public Health Officials confirmed a new wave of dengue fever cropped up in the most parts of Dar es Salaam and is still continuing.

The first ever recorded fever in Dar es Salaam was recorded in 2010 and in July last year. The Ministry reaffirmed that there were no confirmed death in either two past breakouts.(Tambwe M., Daily Newspaper, 8.2.2014)

Although dengue symptoms, when mild, can seem flulike, there is no vaccine or treatment for the infection other than staying hydrated and taking acetaminophen to manage the pain, other pain killers of the NSAID group like Ibuprofen & Diclofenac are not recommended as they can increase bleeding due to low platelet count (blood clotting cells). Those flulike symptoms also hamper public health officials’ ability to track the disease, because official surveillance of occurrences is based on medical reports and patients may not seek care for what they assume is a bout of flu. An estimated 50 million to 100 million dengue infections occur worldwide yearly, and severe forms of the disease can be fatal, especially among children. Beyond dengue’s death toll, its impact is largely felt in economic terms because sickened people cannot work or attend school. 

Many people, especially children and teens, may experience no signs or symptoms during a mild case of dengue fever. When symptoms do occur, they usually begin four to 10 days after the person is bitten by an infected mosquito.

SYMPTOMS
The principal symptoms of dengue fever are listed below. Generally, younger children and those with their first dengue infection have a milder illness than older children and adults.
·         High Fever, up to 41ยบC
·         Severe Headaches
·         Muscle, bone and joint pain
·         Pain behind your eyes
           
Patient might also experience:
·         Widespread rash
·         Nausea and vomiting
·         Minor bleeding from your gums or nose
Most people recover within a week or so. In some cases, however, symptoms worsen and can become life-threatening. Blood vessels often become damaged and leaky, and the number of clot-forming cells in your bloodstream falls. This can cause:
·         Bleeding from the nose and mouth
·         Severe abdominal pain
·         Persistent vomiting
·         Bleeding under the skin, which may look like bruising
·         Problems with your lungs, liver and heart
·         Red spots or patches on the skin
·         Black, tarry stools (faeces, excrement)
·         Drowsiness or irritability
·         Pale, cold, or clammy skin
·         Difficulty breathing

PREVENTION
There is no vaccine for preventing dengue.
The best preventive measure for residents living in areas infested with Ae. aegypti is to eliminate the places where the mosquito lays her eggs, primarily areas that hold standing water to stop mosquitoes from multiplying
·      Items that collect rainwater or to store water (for example, garbage cans, house gutters, buckets, pool covers, coolers, toys, flower pots, plastic containers, drums, buckets, any other containers, pet's water bowls, or used automobile tires) should be covered or properly discarded.
·      Protect boats and vehicles from rain with traps that don’t accumulate water.
·      Maintain swimming pools in good condition and appropriately chlorinated. Empty plastic swimming pools when not in use.
·      Clothing: Wear shoes, socks, and long pants and long-sleeves. This type of protection may be necessary for people who must work in areas where mosquitoes are present.
·      Apply mosquito repellent containing DEET.
·      Use mosquito netting to protect children younger than 2 months old.
·      Cover doors and windows with screens to keep mosquitoes out of your house
·      Repair broken screening on windows, doors, porches, and patios.
·      Using air conditioning or window and door screens reduces the risk of mosquitoes coming indoors.
·      Proper application of mosquito repellents.
·      Mosquito Control: Use screens on doors and windows; use patio insecticides such as Permethrin (pesticide and repellent) and Allethrin (candles and lanterns. Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants, socks and closed shoes to avoid mosquito bites at dusk and dawn especially.
Use repellents containing DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide) or Picaridin on your clothing and exposed skin. Follow manufacturer’s instructions and CDC recommendations. (www.cdc.gov)
 
TREATMENT
There is no specific medication for treatment of a dengue infection. Persons who think they have dengue should use pain relievers such as acetaminophen, other pain killers of the NSAID group like Ibuprofen & Diclofenac are not recommended as they can increase bleeding due to low platelet count (blood clotting cells). They should also
·         Rest,
·         Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration,
·         Avoid mosquito bites while febrile and
·         Consult a physician.
You should see your GP if you develop a fever or flu-like symptoms within two weeks of returning from an area where the dengue virus is common. If a clinical diagnosis is made early, a health care provider can effectively treat you. Alternatively, you can call +255 (22) 2114995/6/7 Ebrahim Haji Charitable Health Care for advice and visit to test and confirm diagnosis of Dengue fever.

COMPUTER TROUBLESHOOTING

Top 10 Computer Tricks Every Geek Should Know

Top 10 Computer Tricks Every Geek Should KnowExpand12
We've talked before about the things every computer user should know how to do, but we geeks are special: we want to go above and beyond, to explore every nook and cranny of our system and make everything easier. Here are ten ways to do just that.
Top 10 Computer Tricks Every Geek Should Know

10. Find New Uses for the Programs You Already Have

Chances are, you've probably already found a few awesome tools and added them to your productivity arsenal, but most programs can be used for more than just their inteded purpose. The file-syncing Dropbox, for example, is also great for monitoring your home computer, printing files from afar, and even downloading stuff with BitTorrent. Savvy folks can use Gmail to store files in the cloud or find out if someone's stolen your laptop. Any tool can become multipurpose if you know its ins and outs.
Top 10 Computer Tricks Every Geek Should Know

9. Use the Command Line Like a Ninja

Using the command line isn't as exciting as it looks in the movies, but it can be a very useful tool (in fact, some tools are just better in the command line). It's pretty easy to learn, too—check out our command line primer for beginners to learn some basic commands. Once you've got that down, read up on the best shortcuts that help you navigate the command line like a ninja. Those guides apply to UNIX-based systems like Linux and OS X, but if you're a Windows user you can grab something like Cygwin to get a similar experience (or, if you want a more Windows-centric tool, try Powershell).

8. Read and Understand Your Resource Usage

When your computer starts acting a little slow, a lot of people jump to their resource monitor to see what's causing problems. However, just looking at a bunch of charts and graphs isn't going to tell you what's wrong unless you really know what you're looking for. High CPU is a common problem with one app slowing your system down, and as soon as you close it, the issue should go away. High network activity could be the cause of slow internet or slow file transfers over the network. RAM usage, however, is where a lot of people get thrown off: high RAM usage isn't inherently a bad thing. Know the difference between good and bad RAM usage before you start blaming processes. If you want to keep an eye on your resources, check out our favorite system monitors for Windows, Mac, and Linux, too.

7. Run Everything on a Schedule

Stop performing all that system maintenance yourself and set it all up to run on a schedule. With Windows' built-in Task Scheduler, you can run just about any kind of task—whether it's maintenance, picture uploads, or even a simple alarm—through Windows' built-in tools (in fact, it's one of the best Windows 7 features you've probably forgotten about). Mac users looking for something similar should check out Tasks Till Dawn.

6. Know Your OS's Hidden Features

Every operating system has hidden things lying under the hood, you just have to know where to look. Windows users should check out the hidden features of Windows 7 and Windows 8, while Mac users should peruse the hidden features of OS X Lion and Mountain Lion. If you want to find even more, you can often find them in Windows' Registry or in OS X's terminal. System tweakers like Ultimate Windows Tweaker, OnyX for Mac, and Ubuntu Tweak are also great places to find secret features.

5. Learn to Crack Passwords (and Protect Yourself)45

Everyone should know how to create a secure password, but responsible geeks can take it a step further by learning how to break into a comptuer. This skill—whether used on a Windows machine or a Mac—can really help you understand how computer thieves and hackers will try to get at your data. Learning the process means you know how to protect yourself against the process—not just with strong passwords but with encryption and other settings tweaks that keep thieves out. Similarly, you may also want to learn how to crack a Wi-Fi network's WEP and WPA password.

4. Navigate Everything With Your Keyboard

There are certain basic keyboard shortcuts everyone should know, but if you really want to use your computer more efficiently, you can take it so much further. Learn the most common shortcuts for your favorite programs, like Gmail, Microsoft Word, basic text boxes, and even Facebook. After a little while, you'll be able to blow through menus and text boxes with unbelievable speed. Check out our guide to becoming a keyboard ninja, complete with a bunch of cheat sheets to help get you off the ground.

3. Run a Basic Linux Distribution

Even if you don't want to switch operating systems, knowing a few Linux basics can be really handy. With a live CD on hand you can troubleshoot your machine, revive an old, slow PC, and make your way through Linux-based DIY projects. Check out our five-part guide to getting started with Linux, and be careful—it can be quite the rabbit hole once you get into it!

2. Squeeze More Power Out of Your Hardware
