Do Big Quakes Increase Global Seismic Activity?
Fri, 12 Mar 2010 09:00:00 +0100 | NPR Health and Science
There have been three deadly earthquakes already this year — in Haiti, Chile and Turkey — and a fourth that caused damage in Taiwan. Is this a coincidence? Seismologists can't answer that question directly, but they say there's a growing realization that big earthquakes can trigger other earthquakes many thousands of miles away.» E-Mail This » Add to Del.icio.us (Source: NPR Health and Science)

Severe inflammatory and keloidal, allergic reaction due to para-phenylenediamine in temporary tattoos

We report a 22-year-old man who developed severe inflammatory and keloidal, moderately bullous allergic reaction after henna paint-on tattoo. We did a patch test separately with these painting products (henna powder, PPD) and with the European standard series. PPD was strongly positive (+++) on day 2 and remained positive for following days. After treating with topical clobetasol-17 butyrate, resolution was obtained in two weeks. But some keloidal reaction remained. (Source: Indian Journal of Dermatology, Venereology and Leprology)

The prevalence of restless legs syndrome (RLS) is low in the general population in Turkey.

Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever in Europe: current situation calls for preparedness
Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 +0100 | Eurosurveillance latest news
During the last decade Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) emerged and/or re-emerged in several Balkan countries, Turkey, southwestern regions of the Russian Federation, and the Ukraine, with considerable high fatality rates. Reasons for re-emergence of CCHF include climate and anthropogenic factors such as changes in land use, agricultural practices or hunting activities, movement of livestock that may influence host-tick-virus dynamics. In order to be able to design prevention and control measures targeted at the disease, mapping of endemic areas and risk assessment for CCHF in Europe should be completed. Furthermore, areas at risk for further CCHF expansion should be identified and human, vector and animal surveillance be strengthened. (Source: Eurosurveillance latest news)
