HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW): Healthfulness is a great blessing

// RIYADH:Another three people have died in Saudi Arabia after contracting the MERS coronavirus, the health ministry said Sunday, bringing the kingdom's total fatalities of the SARS-like virus to 47.

A Saudi man, aged 74, died in the western city of Medina after being in contact with an infected person, the ministry said on its website.

A 56-year-old foreigner, who worked in the health sector, also died in
Medina, while another Saudi, aged 53, who suffered chronicdiseases,
died in Riyadh, the ministry added.

The health authority also announced five new cases of infection of the coronavirus, including an 18-year-old Saudi man, and a three-year-old girl in Hafr al-Baten, in the northeast, who contracted the virus after being in contact with an infected person. The three others are all Saudi nationals.

Saudi Arabia is the country worst hit by MERS, which has killed 47 in the kingdom. On Friday the World Health Organisation said the virus had killed 52 people worldwide. Saudi authorities said 96 people have been infected in the kingdom, out of a global figure of 110.

Experts are struggling to understand MERS -- Middle East Respiratory Syndrome --for which there is still no vaccine and which has an extremely high fatality rate of more than 51 percent.

It is considered a cousin of the SARS virus that erupted in Asia in 2003 and infected 8,273 people, nine percent of whom died.

Like SARS, MERS is thought to have jumped from animals to humans, and it shares the former's flu-like symptoms -- but differs by also causing kidney failure.//

HEALTH AWARENESS WELFARE (HAW): 
E-cigarettes to stop tobacco smoking!

// PARIS:Tobacco-free electronic cigarettes are as effective as nicotine patches in weaning smokers off their habit, but both techniques are only modestly successful, a study said on Saturday.

It is the first trial to compare the increasingly popular "e-cigarette" -- a plastic tube which heats a liquid to an inhalable vapour -- against nicotine patches as an anti-smoking aid.

Researchers in Auckland, New Zealand, recruited 657 smokers who wanted to quit, and assigned them randomly to three groups.

Two groups of around 290 people were given a 13-week supply of either patches or e-cigarettes that delivered nicotine vapour.
Another 73 were given e-cigarettes without nicotine.

Six months later, the volunteers were then questioned, and their breath was analysed for carbon monoxide telltales of smoking, to rate their success in giving up tobacco.

The success rate among the nicotine e-cigarettes was 7.3 percent, compared with 5.8 percent in the patch group and 4.1 percent in the non-nicotine e-cigarette group.

None of the e-cigarette users fell ill from using the product, but the
researchers stress that its long-term safety -- an issue that has
emerged in the European Union which plans to class e-cigs as medicinal products -- remains unclear.

"E-cigarettes, with or without nicotine, were modestly effective at helping smokers to quit, with similar achievement of abstinence as with nicotine patches, and few adverse events," says the study, published by The Lancet.

But, it adds: "Uncertainty exists about the place of e-cigarettes in tobacco control, and more research is urgently needed to clearly establish their overall benefits and harms."

The probe, led by Chris Bullen at the University of Auckland, was presented this weekend at a conference of the European Respiratory Society in Barcelona, Spain, The Lancet said.//

The nation itself should get serious to have replaced their head of the state if they find him or her incompetent, inefficient, unjust and cruel. They can do so through their votes, not by guns or any sort foreign intervention or interference.

May Syrian people and beloved country be blessed!

LEGAL AWARENESS WELFARE (LAW):

Now its getting clearer to understand that Mr. Obama and his cronies are quite in favor of another war against Syria, a similar step US took through Mr. Bush by attacking Iraq and later Afghanistan, whereas, the after effect of those war were nowhere in the world admired, rather US's such steps indicate that US and its allied a very few countries are war intending.

AMAZING & INTERESTING:
>>> I personally and my spouse often enjoy knowing and seeing cats' such frisky and risky activities although we feel sad for her (cat's) accident, fracture wishing her to get healed soon.P.S. My spouse's male pat cat named TUKKU seems having resemblance by face, body-cut and nature almost like this cat Wasabi. However, we have set TUKKU free to live on his own will whom I find often in the neighbor living happily with his offspring ;)  <<<

          ***********************************************


// JUNEAU:A house cat in Alaska learned the hard way not to chase mosquitoes after following one out a window and falling 11 stories.
The 2-year-old cat, named Wasabi, survived but suffered a fractured leg and broken bones.
The Juneau Empire reports the cat was chasing the mosquito Monday in her owners' apartment in Juneau, about two blocks from the state Capitol.
The mosquito escaped out a window, and Wasabi went after it. Stephanie Gustafson says her mother watched the female cat fall.
Wasabi landed in a parking lot, and Gustafson found her huddled nearby, bloody and wet from rain.
The cat underwent an operation, and has pins and wires holding together her fractured leg and broken bones in a joint. She also is sporting a pink cast.
Gustafson says Wasabi is expected to heal in about six weeks. //

 LEGAL AWARENESS WELFARE (LAW):
Attacking Syria would be another serious folly for any individual country or group of countries as that it was on Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere. Such doers are already labeled as war mongering countries.
More or less it’s the job of UN and its allied international communities' Organizations that are empowered and authenticated to apply their efforts to have settled similar situations as that of Syria now with the consent of maximum number of member countries of the world. Any country or countries power-play on Syria other than UN would commit a big blunder to create unrest in the whole world to the extent of causing fearful 3rd world war, which is bitterly hated by almost all global people. If they do that, that would be quite at their risks and consequences.
