The medical fraternity is paying homage to the health workers who lost life due to Ebola. More than 120 health workers who were doing medical service in the Ebola hit areas are the victims of this epidemic. As per the official report of WHO, more than 240 health care workers have developed the disease in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and more than 120 have died. This include doctors,nurses and other health care workers.There are several factors that lead to high proportion of infected medical staff. They include shortages of personal protective equipment or its improper use, far too few medical staff for such a large outbreak, and the compassion that causes medical staff to work in isolation wards far beyond the number of hours recommended as safe, it is reported. Another alarming part of the whole story is that, in the three hardest­hit countries, only one to two doctors are available to treat 100,000 people, and these doctors are heavily concentrated in urban areas. The death of so much medical professionals prevent other countries to send medical teams to the epidemic areas. The African Union is in their efforts to recruit new staff to meet this emergency situation. Alive pays a big salute to the real Heroes of Medical community,who dedicated their service to fight against an epidemic.

Fluoride was introduced to public drinking water in the 1940s. Intially it was widely accepted as a great medical innovation and was regarded as safe. Now however,many are realizing fluoride is not what we have been lead to believe. The hard thing is that this fluoride used in water and toothpaste is a toxic waste substance. Any person who drinks fluoridated water for a period of one year or more will never be the same person mentally and physically. Dental fluorosis is caused by fluoride exposing to teeth. Those with dental fluorosis can also have too much fluoride in other areas of body as well. Skeletal fluorosis is also common when bones become over fluoridated.

by Anagha. M. Kumar

Want to look younger? Regular sunscreen usage can diminish wrinkles and protect against skin ageing. Applying sunscreen daily is known to reduce the risk of skin cancer.For the study in the Annals of Internal Medicine, Australian researchers followed 903 adults younger than 55 for nearly four and a half years. Half of the participants were asked to apply sunscreen of SPF 15 or greater on their head, neck, arms and hands every morning, and to reapply when necessary. The other half used sunscreen at their discretion. The researchers measured the damage caused to skin by exposure to sun's rays, on the back of each person's left hand at the start and end of the study. Those who used sunscreen daily were 24 per cent less likely to show any increased skin aging.
