Questions and Answers About TB, as in Year 2007
sources web site: http://www.cdc.gov/tb/faqs/qa_introduction.htm

What is TB?
Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease caused by bacteria called Mycobacterium tuberculosis. The bacteria usually attack the lungs. But, TB bacteria can attack any part of the body such as the kidney, spine, and brain. If not treated properly, TB disease can be fatal. TB disease was once the leading cause of death in the United States.
TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
However, not everyone infected with TB bacteria becomes sick. People who are not sick have what is called latent TB infection. People who have latent TB infection do not feel sick, do not have any symptoms, and cannot spread TB to others. But, some people with latent TB infection go on to get TB disease.
People with active TB disease can be treated if they seek medical help. Even better, most people with latent TB infection can take medicine so that they will not develop active TB disease.

Why is TB a problem today?
Starting in the 1940s, scientists discovered the first of several medicines now used to treat TB. As a result, TB slowly began to decrease in the United States. But in the 1970s and early 1980s, the country let its guard down and TB control efforts were neglected. As a result, between 1985 and 1992, the number of TB cases increased. However, with increased funding and attention to the TB problem, we have had a steady decline in the number of persons with TB since 1992. But TB is still a problem; more than 14,000 cases were reported in 2005 in the United States.
This booklet answers common questions about TB. Please ask your doctor or nurse if you have other questions about latent TB infection or TB disease.

How is TB spread?
TB is spread through the air from one person to another. The bacteria are put into the air when a person with active TB disease of the lungs or throat coughs or sneezes. People nearby may breathe in these bacteria and become infected.
When a person breathes in TB bacteria, the bacteria can settle in the lungs and begin to grow. From there, they can move through the blood to other parts of the body, such as the kidney, spine, and brain.
TB in the lungs or throat can be infectious. This means that the bacteria can be spread to other people. TB in other parts of the body, such as the kidney or spine, is usually not infectious.
People with active TB disease are most likely to spread it to people they spend time with every day. This includes family members, friends, and coworkers.

What is latent TB infection?
In most people who breathe in TB bacteria and become infected, the body is able to fight the bacteria to stop them from growing. The bacteria become inactive, but they remain alive in the body and can become active later. This is called latent TB infection. People with latent TB infection
have no symptoms
don't feel sick
can't spread TB to others
usually have a positive skin test reaction or QuantiFERON-TB Gold test (QFT-G)
may develop active TB disease if they do not receive treatment for latent TB infection
Many people who have latent TB infection never develop active TB disease. In these people, the TB bacteria remain inactive for a lifetime without causing disease. But in other people, especially people who have weak immune systems, the bacteria become active and cause TB disease.

What is active TB disease?
TB bacteria become active if the immune system can't stop them from growing. The active bacteria begin to multiply in the body and cause active TB disease. The bacteria attack the body and destroy tissue. If this occurs in the lungs, the bacteria can actually create a hole in the lung. Some people develop active TB disease soon after becoming infected, before their immune system can fight the TB bacteria. Other people may get sick later, when their immune system becomes weak for another reason.
Babies and young children often have weak immune systems. People infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, have very weak immune systems. Other people can have weak immune systems, too, especially people with any of these conditions:
substance abuse
diabetes mellitus
silicosis
cancer of the head or neck
leukemia or Hodgkin's disease
severe kidney disease
low body weight
certain medical treatments (such as corticosteroid treatment or organ transplants)
specialized treatment for rheumatoid arthritis or Crohn’s disease
Symptoms of TB depend on where in the body the TB bacteria are growing. TB bacteria usually grow in the lungs. TB in the lungs may cause symptoms such as
a bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer
pain in the chest
coughing up blood or sputum (phlegm from deep inside the lungs)
Other symptoms of active TB disease are
weakness or fatigue
weight loss
no appetite
chills
fever
sweating at night
The Difference Between Latent TB Infection and Active TB Disease

A Person with Latent TB Infection
• Has no symptoms
• Does not feel sick
• Cannot spread TB bacteria to others
• Usually has a positive skin test or QuantiFERON-TB® Gold test
• Has a normal chest x-ray and a negative sputum smear
• Needs treatment for latent TB infection to prevent active TB disease
A Person with Active TB Disease
• Has symptoms that may include: - a bad cough that lasts 3 weeks or longer - pain in the chest - coughing up blood or sputum- weakness or fatigue - weight loss - no appetite - chills - fever - sweating at night
• Usually feels sick
• May spread TB bacteria to others
• Usually has a positive skin test or QuantiFERON-TB® Gold test
• May have an abnormal chest x-ray, or positive sputum smear or culture
• Needs treatment to treat active TB disease

MILK IS DRYING UP Thanks BT COTTON

Milk is Drying Up -
Thanks to Plants With Dangerous Genes

Milk Yield is Reduced by about 50% in Buffaloes due to feed based on BT Cotton Seeds - Say Farmers in India

BT Cotton is being promoted the world over by the governments at the cost of health of humans and animals alike. Farmers in India have seen BT cotton, the genetically modified monster plant killing thousands of sheep. Now the animal feed based on this dreaded genetically modified (GM) plant is reducing the milk yields of their animals to half and making them sick.Is it right for the governments to push a technology with proven killing ability? Farmers are not lodging any complaint against the companies regarding ill effects of BT cotton which is surprising. Now some civil society action is required to be taken to help the farmers and stop the companies from pushing these unsafe GM seed in the market targeting the illiterate farmers in India.Village Sadalpur, District Hisar, Haryana State Dated : 29 Feb. 2008

While the corrupt government officers and unscrupulous traders in cotton growing states of India is busy in counting their black money in people especially farmers have been experiencing a survival question. BT Cotton is making them sick, their animals are becoming unhealthy and unable to yield milk to normal level.

Another startling Revelation has come from a reputed farmer of the area. According Mr Balwant Son of Mr Het Ram Punia in Sadalpur village, milk yield of his Buffaloes has been reduced to about 50 % due to feed based on BT Cotton Seeds. Oilcake of BT Cotton seeds is widely fed to animals in this part of north west India only about 5 hours drive from New Delhi, the capital city of India, which is in the Haryana State.

Mr Balwant who is a well known farmers in the area says that when he fed his buffaloes oilcake from non-GM cotton he did not observed any health problem and decline in milk yield. He says that BT Cotton is quite harmful to the animals and it will definitely affect people who consume milk from animals fed with feed based on BT Cotton Seeds.

The state government and local agricultural universities and other agricultural institutes of the government have kept mum on the issue of harmful effects on BT cotton on animals and human beings (millions of farmers are affected by the skin problems like itching, rashes, allergy, etc.)

Why India Government is Trying to Prove That Nobody is Hungry & Poor In This Country

Government is not the ruler, it is a servant but to gain the power again lots has been tried but people are intelligent to see the designs of capitalist forces which claim to be pro-poor.

See the Answer in Union Budget of India Year 2008-2009 (You can also give your views on government budget or propose your own taxes as governments need such peopl who can devise new terminologies for looting the people ).

Remember people used to pay upto 97% of their income as tax when India was ruled by East India Company. Is India heading to that kind of tax regime and literal slavery at the hands of its own so call legitimate rulers?

• Banking cash transaction tax withdrawn from April 1, 2009 (Banks are still looting customers for lots of undesirable charges)
• Indirect tax proposals to result in loss of Rs 5,000 cr (Government is able to loose this much as if it was its right)
• Direct tax proposals to be revenue neutral (Government don't want to make people realize that it is taking too much back directly like a robber.)
• Dividend of subsidiary company will be exempt from DDT (dividend distribution tax is waived for increased earning for big companies so that they can fund the elections easily)
• Reduce central sales tax to 2% (Sales will increase 200 % by this, Is this the calculation?)
• Increase in short term capital gains tax to 15% (To stop people from earning quick money out of stock market, then why not to make the stock trading illegal)
• 5-yr tax holiday for setting up hospitals in tier-II, tier III regions (so that they can harvest lots of kidneys to promote cheap medical tourism)
• Excise duty of Rs 1.35/litre on unbranded petrol (??)
• Excise duty of Rs 4.6/litre on unbranded diesel (?)
• Would You Like to Laugh on The Budget. Speak Up

Did You Know Chocolate is as addictive as Heroin or alcohol or nicotine or caffiene or any other dangerous narcotic drug?

But why then we are ignoring the More Informatin at www.CorporateCrucible.co.cc where you can lodge complaint against corporates for making public addict to a dangerous narcortic drug called chocolate which is making our people lose their neurons and intelligence.

My Favorite Liar

An Economics Professor uses an exceptionally powerful teaching technique of teaching fact-checking and skepticism by salting it into the content of his delivery. One of my favorite professors in college was a self-confessed liar. I guess that statement requires a bit of explanation. The topic of Corporate Finance/Capital Markets is, even within the world of the Dismal Science, a exceptionally dry and boring subject matter, encumbered by complex mathematic models and obscure economic theory. What made Dr. K memorable was a gimmick he employed that began with his introduction at the beginning of his first class: "Now I know some of you have already heard of me, but for the benefit of those who are unfamiliar, let me explain how I teach. Between today until the class right before finals, it is my intention to work into each of my lectures ... one lie. Your job, as students, among other things, is to try and catch me in the Lie of the Day." And thus began our ten-week course.This was an insidiously brilliant technique to focus our attention - by offering an open invitation for students to challenge his statements, he transmitted lessons that lasted far beyond the immediate subject matter and taught us to constantly checksum new statements and claims with what we already accept as fact. Early in the quarter, the Lie of the Day was usually obvious - immediately triggering a forest of raised hands to challenge the falsehood. Dr. K would smile, draw a line through that section of the board, and utter his trademark phrase "Very good! In fact, the opposite is true. Moving on ... " As the quarter progressed, the Lie of the Day became more subtle, and many ended up slipping past a majority of the students unnoticed until a particularly alert person stopped the lecture to flag the disinformation. Every once in a while, a lecture would end with nobody catching the lie which created its own unique classroom experience - in any other college lecture, end of the class hour prompts a swift rush of feet and zipping up of bookbags as students make a beeline for the door; on the days when nobody caught the lie, we all sat in silence, looking at each other as Dr. K, looking quite pleased with himself, said with a sly grin: "Ah ha! Each of you has one falsehood in your lecture notes. Discuss amongst yourselves what it might be, and I will tell you next Monday. That is all." Those lectures forced us to puzzle things out, work out various angles in study groups so we could approach him with our theories the following week. Brilliant ... but what made Dr. K's technique most insidiously evil and genius was, during the most technically difficult lecture of the entire quarter, there was no lie. At the end of the lecture in which he was not called on any lie, he offered the same challenge to work through the notes; on the following Monday, he fielded our theories for what the falsehood might be (and shooting them down "no, in fact that is true - look at [x]") for almost ten minutes before he finally revealed: "Do you remember the first lecture - how I said that 'every lecture has a lie?'" Exhausted from having our best theories shot down, we nodded. "Well - THAT was a lie. My previous lecture was completely on the level. But I am glad you reviewed your notes rigorously this weekend - a lot of it will be on the final. Moving on ... " Which prompted an rousing melange of exasperated groans and laughter from the classroom. And while my knowledge of the Economics of Capital Markets has faded in time, the lessons that stayed with me was his real legacy; I've had many instructors before and since, but few that I remember with as much fondness - and why my favorite professor was a chronic liar.
