PUTRAJAYA - Malaysia has recorded its first death related to the Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS), after a 54-year-old man from Johor contracted the MERS-CoV coronavirus while performing the umrah in Mecca.
The Health Ministry said the man, who returned to Malaysia from Jeddah on March 29, developed a fever and respiratory problems and was warded at the Sultanah Nora Ismail Hospital in Batu Pahat on April 10. However, he died three days later after his condition worsened. Health Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said investigations revealed that the man's death was due to Severe Pneumonia Secondary to MERS, adding that he had also suffered from diabetes, which may have increased the risk of being infected. "It is the first reported MERS case in the ASEAN region, and also the first death. We have begun taking preventive action and control measures, including monitoring anyone who has come into close contact with the man upon his return, including hospital personnel and family members. "We also request for those who had boarded Turkish Airlines flight TK93 and TK60 (Jeddah-Istanbul-Kuala Lumpur) on March 29, which the man was on, to report to the ministry so that we can check and monitor their health condition for signs of the virus," he said here, yesterday. Dr Subramaniam said those returning to Malaysia from the Middle-East would be subjected to more stringent health checks at airports, but no travel restrictions would be imposed as yet. - See more at: http://yourhealth.asiaone.com/content/first-malaysian-die-mers#sthash.8jqBH7un.dpuf |

More than 6,500 people are in quarantine in South Korea, either at home or in health facilities.
South Korea said 19 people diagnosed with MERS had recovered and been discharged from hospital. The latest MERS patient to die in the country was a 54-year-old woman who had bronchiectasis and high blood pressure. MERS is caused by a coronavirus from the same family as the one that triggered China?s deadly 2003 outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. WHO acknowledged there were still fundamental gaps in its understanding of the disease nearly three years after MERS was first identified. ?We really don?t understand the situation very well,? said Dr Fukude. There is also no cure or vaccine that can protect people from the virus. The vast majority of MERS infections and deaths have been in Saudi Arabia, where more than 1,000 people have been infected since 2012, and about 454 have died. AGENCIES |

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) ? The MERS virus in South Korea, which has killed 14 people and infected nearly 140 in the largest outbreak outside the Middle East, hasn't spread outside hospitals among the wider community or become easier to transmit between humans, the World Health Organization said.
After a week long review of the outbreak of Middle East respiratory syndrome, experts from WHO and South Korea told reporters Saturday there was no evidence to suggest the virus, currently confined around health facilities, is spreading. It has been occurring among hospital patients, visiting family members and medical staff. Overcrowded emergency rooms and hospital wards might have contributed to a wider-than-expected transmission of the virus, which usually spreads poorly between people, said WHO Assistant Director Keiji Fukuda. |

Reuters - South Korea's health ministry on Wednesday said two more deaths from Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) outbreak and reported 13 new cases, taking the total to 108.
The two deaths, both cancer patients, bring the fatalities to nine. All of those who died had been suffering serious ailments before they tested positive for the MERS virus, the ministry said. The 13 new cases were all linked to hospitals, it said. South Korea's infections have all been traced to a man who developed MERS after returning from a trip to the Middle East in early May, and who came into contact with other patients at various four hospitals before being diagnosed. The outbreak has caused public alarm with more than 2,200 schools closing or cancelling classes. Around the region some countries have issued advisories against travel to South Korea or stepped up screening of inbound passengers. |

South Korea Tuesday reported its seventh death from Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) as the government -- concerned about the economic impact -- said it hoped to end the crisis this week. Eight new infections brought the total number of cases to 95 in the largest outbreak outside Saudi Arabia, following the diagnosis of the first patient back on May 20. The virus has caused widespread public anxiety and led to a plunge in cinema ticket sales and dwindling attendance at baseball games and other public events. " Public concerns are rising over the negative impact of the MERS outbreak on our economy and society," Acting Prime Minister Choi Kyung-Hwan said during a meeting with top health officials. " So we have decided to... launch an active, all-out response with the goal of ending the MERS crisis within this week," said Choi, who is also the finance minister. The latest fatality was a 68-year-old woman who was infected by a MERS patient at a hospital in Seoul. All the infections so far have been restricted to hospitals, and the ministry stressed that all seven who died had pre-existing health problems. The virus is considered a deadlier but less infectious cousin of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), which killed hundreds of people when it appeared in Asia in 2003. There' s no vaccine or cure for MERS, according to World Health Organization (WHO), It has a fatality rate of around 35%.

Singapore has started temperature screening at air checkpoints for passengers arriving from South Korea. MOH said this was a " precautionary measure" for the early detection of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (Mers). It noted with concern the surge in the number of Mers cases confirmed in South Korea and continued news of reported breaches in containment and quarantine measures there. The measure kicked in at 7pm on Tuesday (June 9). Health advisories will also be distributed to these travellers. There has been temperature screening at air checkpoints since May 18 last year for passengers arriving from the Middle East.

A second foreign worker then climbed up the ledge as well to help.

SINGAPORE - A foreign worker has been hailed a hero after he climbed to the 2nd floor of a HDB at Jurong East Avenue 1 to save a toddler whose head was stuck between the railings.
According to blogger Alvin Lim, a passer-by who first saw the toddler in that precarious position on Thursday afternoon shouted for help. Two men tried to heave themselves up on the ledge but failed. A foreign worker who was working on road repairs nearby then came to the rescue. In the video provided by Mr Lim's friend who was at the scene, the worker was seen pulling himself up effortlessly onto the ledge and holding the crying toddler up, while trying to get him back onto the other side of the ledge. "This man saved a baby's life. He is none other than "Shamugun" The Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) arrived 5-minutes later and helped to free the child. The flat was apparently empty at the time of the incident as there was no answer when someone knocked on the door. http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/foreign-worker-who-saved-toddler-jurong-east-hero-identi |

Why Do Women Get Painful, Numb Wrists More Often Than Men?
Carpal tunnel syndrome, a characterised by numbness and pain in the hand, is three times more common in women than men. Pregnant women are especially at risk of developing this condition. Carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway formed by bones and ligament at the wrist level. The median nerve travels through this tunnel to enter the hand. In carpal tunnel syndrome, median nerve gets compressed in the carpal tunnel. This can be due to a number of conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, degenerative changes from an old fracture and even congenital reasons. Diabetes mellitus can also increase the susceptibility of the nerve to pressure. Carpal tunnel syndrome has been associated with other conditions, such as obesity, hypothyroidism, acromegaly, a family history of carpal tunnel syndrome, work-related excessive and repetitive movements of the wrist and hand. How to prevent permanent hand damage after repetitive stress injury. ?Pregnant women are more susceptible to carpal tunnel syndrome because of hormonal changes and fluid retention which can increase the pressure in the carpal tunnel,? says Dr Kalpana Prasad, Associate Consultant, Dept of Neurology,National Neuroscience Institute (NNI), a member of the SingHealth group. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms Carpal tunnel syndrome is likely to start with mild numbness and tingling in the hands, especially in the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers. These sensations are commonly exacerbated during sleep. They may also be felt while holding an object such as a phone or book, or while gripping a steering wheel or bus handrail. Carpal tunnel syndrome symptoms are likely to become more persistent and severe as the condition progresses. If symptoms are left untreated, the patient can suffer median nerve damage leading to loss of sensation in the hand, including the ability to feel temperature. Muscle weakness can also result, causing hand clumsiness and a tendency to drop objects. Thus it is best to see a doctor as soon as you start showing symptoms.

Dates, pictured here, could be a weapon in the war on heart disease if consumed in...A four ounce glass of pomegranate juice with three dates could protect against the buildup of lipids on the arterial walls by as much as 33%, reducing chances for a heart attack, according to researchers in Israel. Pomegranate juice and dates make a dynamic duo in the war on heart disease because their respective phenolic antioxidants work differently, according to lead author Professor Michael Aviram. The key ingredients in pomegranate juice, he says, are plant-derived polyphenolic antioxidants that slow the body' s oxidation process, thereby reducing oxidative stress. Dates contain phenolic radical scavenger antioxidants, which hinder the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LCL) cholesterol, also known as " bad-cholesterol." These scavenger antioxidants found in dates also stimulate the removal of cholesterol from arterial cells that come into contact with lipids, according to Professor Aviram. Working with arterial cells in laboratory cultures, and with mice whose cholesterol levels were high, Professor Aviram' s team tested the combination of pomegranate juice and dates -- using a cocktail that included their pits, which had been ground up. The cocktail reduced oxidative stress in the arterial wall by 33% and decreased arterial cholesterol content by 28%, according to the study, which was published in the journal Food & Function. |
