Womanmay be more susceptible to the lung-damaging effect to smoking than men,according to the new research by Inassessali Sohine ND, and her colleagues fromChiming Laboratory, Briven and Women Hospital and University of Bergen Norway.They analyzed the data from the Norwegian case control study, including 954subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and 955 controls,all the current or ex-smokers. And COPDsubject had moderate or severe COPD. Although analysis indicated the women maybe more vulnerable to the effect to smoking, which is something previouslysuspected but not proven, said Dr. Sohine. The study results would be preventedon May 18, at the 115 international conference of American directive society inSantiago. Examining the total study samples there is nogender differences with respect to lung function and COPD severity. The womenwere on average younger, and they smoked significantly left than men. Toexperience the differences further they also analyzed two subgroups of studyexample, COPD subject on the age of 60 and COPD subjects with less than 20 packyears. In both subgroups we need have more severe disease and great impairmentto the lung function than man. This means the female smokers in our studyexperienced reduced the lung function at a lower level of smoking exposure andat the earlier age than men, said Dr. Sohine. It’s long been suspected that theeffective smoking on lung function may be modified by gender. Interactionanalysts confirm that being female represents a higher risk of reduced lungfunction and severer COPD. But this gender reset was most pronounced women’slevel of smoking exposure was low. According to Dr Sohine, the reason why thewomen may be more susceptible to the effect of cigarette smoke is stillunknown. There are several possible explanations. Women have small airways,therefore eat cigarettes may be more harm. Also there are gender =elp H^N

Passage2 Ztr Cv?
InDecember 1997 large numbers of cattle, goats and sheep began dying in theGarissa district of north-eastern Kenya. A month later people started dying,too. It was, at the time, the biggest recorded outbreak of Rift Valley fever inEast Africa. Some 100,000 stock animals succumbed and about 90,000 people wereinfected, hundreds fatally in five countries. R?o$Y6}5
InDecember 2007 the same thing happened. Or, it started to happen but was stopped inits tracks. The difference was that the second time around there was warning.In September researchers at the Goddard Space Century,Greenbelt, Maryland, part of America’s space agency, NASA, told the authoritiesin Kenya that they had a problem. They told them again in October. And again inNovember. By the time the epidemic emerged, the Kenyan health ministry haddispatched teams to the area to distribute mosquito nets and urge villageleaders and religious authorities to stop people slaughtering and eatinganimals. Though the outbreak still killed 300 people in Kenya, Somalia andTanzania, it could be a lot worse. According to Kenneth Linthicum of America’sDepartment of Agriculture, the number of deaths would probably have been morethan twice as high without the warning. m908jI_So
Thewarning itself was possible because of a model of how disease spreads that DrLinthicum helped design. And the data that were plugged into that model camefrom satellites. #OO>rm$
Whatthe researchers at Goddard had noticed at the time of the first outbreak wasthat in the months preceding it, surface temperatures in the equatorial part ofthe Indian Ocean had risen by half a degree. These higher temperatures broughtheavy and sustained rains, cloud cover and warmer air to much of the Horn ofAfrica. Mosquitoes multiplied wildly, and lived long enough for the virus thatcauses the fever to develop to the point where it is easily transmissible. InSeptember 2007 the researchers saw the same thing happeningin the ocean, and suspected the same consequences would follow. p5r]J +1
