India: Increasing malaria and dengue cases in Kolkata

Increasing malaria and dengue cases in Kolkata
Malaria and dengue fever, both diseases which are transmitted by mosquitoes, are increasing in Kolkata. Unconfirmed news sources

have reported that as many as 20% of the city’s residents are suffering from malaria, dengue or an undiagnosed fever. Around

26,000 cases of malaria have been officially reported in Kolkata this year. More than eighty dengue cases have been confirmed.

The diseases are widespread across the city. Several people have died. Local health authorities have acted to raise awareness of these mosquito-borne diseases in the community. Kolkata, India’s third largest city, reported over 31,000 cases of malaria in 2007.

Malaria is a serious disease caused by one of four species of a parasite called Plasmodium. It is transmitted by mosquitoes that bite  at night, during the hours between dusk and dawn. Once a patient has been exposed to malaria, it can take as little as six days or as   long as one year to develop symptoms. These can be episodic and may include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, vomiting, diarrhea and jaundice. If not promptly treated, malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum can be fatal.

Dengue or “break-bone” fever is a viral disease found in tropical and sub-tropical areas. It is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This insect bites during the day and is often found in and around human habitation. Symptoms of dengue include high fever, severe headache, cough, and joint and muscle pain. A rash often follows these symptoms. The acute illness can last up to ten days, and complete recovery can take two to four weeks.

Occasionally, a potentially fatal form of dengue called dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) occurs. DHF usually occurs in patients who have previously had dengue fever, and its fatality rate is about 5 percent.

There is no vaccine to prevent Dengue fever. Anti-malarial medication may be considered. Malaria in India is resistant to Chloroquine. In addition, it is important to prevent mosquito bites. Prevent mosquito bites while at outdoors:

• Wear light-colored clothing that covers most of the body (long sleeves and long pants).
• Use insect repellent that contains DEET. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, and reapply after swimming or excessive  sweating.
• Due to airport restrictions regarding flying with liquids, consider bringing solid repellent or ensure that your liquid/cream  repellant is in a container smaller than 100 ml/3 oz.

Prevent mosquito bites while you are indoors or asleep:

• Make sure that there is fly-wire on the windows.
• Use “knock-down” insect spray to kill mosquitoes in your room.
• Use mosquito coils or electric insecticide vaporizers if mosquitoes can get into your room.
• Note that air-conditioning also repels mosquitoes.
• Consider using a bed nets.

Diffusion and osmosis in animal cells

Using eggs for science experiments can be fun and easy. Chicken eggs from the grocery store come in standardized sizes and are fairly inexpensive. Be careful with the eggs as you experiment – if they break as you are working they will make a big mess and you will be at risk because of salmonella. Be sure to wash everything (and yourself) with warm, soapy water. You may also want to use a disinfectant. Ask for adult permission.

For some of these experiments you will need hardboiled eggs. Ask for adult permission or assistance with using the stove. Place the eggs in the bottom of a saucepan. Fill it with enough cold water to cover the eggs. Place the saucepan on a burner over high heat until the water is boiling. Once the water is boiling, set a timer for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the saucepan from the burner (be sure to turn it off!) and place the pan in the sink. Run cold water over the eggs until they are cool to touch. Put the eggs in the refrigerator. Any extra eggs that you don’t use for experiments can be used for egg salad!
Materials

* 3 raw eggs
* 3 jars with lids (larger than an egg, clean jelly, olive, or pickle jars)
* white vinegar, enough to fill the 3 jars
* measuring tape (vinyl one for sewing is good)
* kitchen scale (optional)
* paper towels

Procedures

You will be pouring vinegar over the eggs in the jars to observe the
changes over the 3 day period.

* How will you find the size of each egg before experimenting? Make a chart for all the measurements you take for the three eggs.

* What other measurements do you need (for the jars, the vinegar?) Add these to your table.

* Think about how you will put the eggs in vinegar for 3 days and what observations you need to record. How often will you check the eggs? Make a chart to record your observations.

* After 72 hours, carefully pour the vinegar off the eggs. Rinse them gently with water and pour off. Keeping track of which egg is which, carefully dry them with paper towel and repeat the measurements you made before the treatment. Save the eggs for the next investigation. Make a chart to record the new measurements.

Thinking About It

Compare the appearance and measurements of the eggs before and after the acid treatment. The egg shell is made of calcium carbonate. Write a sentence describing the reaction of vinegar with calcium carbonate. What other substances contain calcium carbonate?

DIFFUSION AND OSMOSIS IN ANIMAL CELLS
How do different solutions affect an animal cell?
Do substances pass through the cell membrane?

You can make different solutions to test your three egg cells. For instance,
a 10% sugar solution could be made by adding 50 ml of corn syrup to 450 ml
of water. A salt solution can be made by adding table salt to water.

Materials

* 3 eggs from previous investigation
* 3 clean jars with lids (larger than the eggs)
* 3 liquids for testing (such as distilled water, sugar solution, salt solution)
* measuring tape
* kitchen scale (optional)
* paper towels

Procedures

You will be pouring test solutions over the eggs in the jars to observe
changes over 1 to 2 days.

* How will you find the size of each treated egg cell before experimenting? Make a chart for all the measurements you take for the three eggs.

* What other measurements do you need? Think about the solutions and the jars. Add these to your table.

* Think about what observations you need to record as the eggs sit in their “baths.” How often will you check the eggs? Make a chart to record your observations.

* After 24 or 48 hours, carefully pour the liquids off the eggs. Keeping track of which egg is which, carefully dry them with paper towel and repeat the measurements you made before the treatment. Make a chart to record the new measurements. You may wish to take a photograph of your eggs.

Thinking About It

Compare the apearance and measurements of the eggs before and after the liquid treatment. Try to explain each solution’s effect on the egg.
Was water passing into or out of the egg?
Are there other possibilities?
Look up the definitions of OSMOSIS and DIFFUSION.
How are these seen in your experiment?
How could you design an experiment to test different sugar solutions?

10 habits that might cause harm to your brain.

BRAIN DAMAGING HABITS:

1. No Breakfast
People who do not take breakfast are going to have a lower blood sugar level.
This leads to an insufficient supply of nutrients to the brain causing brain degeneration.

2. Overeating
It causes hardening of the brain arteries, leading to a decrease in mental power.

3. Smoking
It causes multiple brain shrinkage and may lead to Alzheimer disease.

4. High Sugar consumption
Too much sugar will interrupt the absorption of proteins and nutrients causing malnutrition and may interfere with brain development.

5. Air Pollution
The brain is the largest oxygen consumer in our body. Inhaling polluted air decreases the supply of oxygen to the brain, bringing about a decrease in brain efficiency.

6. Sleep Deprivation
Sleep allows our brain to rest. Long term deprivation from sleep will accelerate the death of brain cells.
7. Head covered while sleeping
Sleeping with the head covered increases the concentration of carbon dioxide and decrease concentration of oxygen that may lead to brain damaging effects.

8. Working your brain during illness
Working hard or studying with sickness may lead to a decrease in effectiveness of the brain as well as damage the brain.

9. Lacking in stimulating thoughts
Thinking is the best way to train our brain, lacking in brain stimulation thoughts may cause brain shrinkage.

10. Talking Rarely
Intellectual conversations will promote the efficiency of the brain.

Laughter is the best cure :-)

A wife went to the police station with her next-door neighbor to report her husband was missing.
The policeman asked for a description.
She said, “He’s 35 years old, 6 foot 4, had dark eyes, dark wavy hair, an athletic build, weighs 185 pounds, is
soft-spoken, and is good to the children.”
The next-door neighbor protested, “Your husband is 5 foot 4 inches, chubby, bald, has a big mouth, and is mean to your children.”
The wife replied, “Yeah, but who wants HIM back?”

bhola grocery store

Bhola goes to a grocery store. He finds cat food at
special prices. He picks a dozen cans of cat food and goes to check out.

The Manager gets suspicious. He thinks that this guy cannot have a cat and
will probably feed cat food to his kids.
He asks Bhola to show him his cat
before he could let him have cat food.
Bhola goes home and returns with a
cat and gets to buy the cat food.

Next week Bhola finds dog food at special prices. He picks a dozen cans of
dog food and goes to check out.
The Manager again gets suspicious.
He thinks that this guy has a cat but he cannot have a dog and he will probably
feed dog-food to his kids.
He asks Bhola to bring and show him the dog
before he can let him have dog food.
Bhola goes home and returns with a
dog. He gets to buy the dog food.

Next week Bhola comes to the grocery store with a bag.
He asks the manager
to put his hand in the bag.
The Manager puts his hand in the bag and
immediately takes it out.
He shouts at Bhola: “What! This is
shit!”

Bhola calmly replies: “Yes, and I want toilet paper”

Sardarjis are not dumb

Santa and a lawyer are seated next to each other on a flight from Patiyala to
New Delhi. The lawyer asks if he would like to play a fun game. Santa, tired,
just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and rolls over to the window
to catch a few winks. The lawyer persists and explains that the game is easy
and a lot of fun. He says, “I ask you a question, and if you don’t know the
answer, you pay me fifty rupees, and vice versa.”

Again, Santa declines and tries to get some sleep. The lawyer, now agitated,
says, “Okay, if you don’t know the answer, you pay me Rs. 50, and if I don’t
know the answer, I will pay you Rs. 5000.”

This catches Santa’s attention and, figuring there will be no end to this
torment, agrees to the game. The lawyer asks the first question: “What’s
the distance from the earth to the moon?”

Santa doesn’t say a word, reaches into his purse, pulls out a Rs. 50 bill,
and hands it to the lawyer. “Okay,” says the lawyer, “your turn.” Santa asks,
“What goes up a hill with three legs and comes back with four legs?”

The lawyer, puzzled, takes out his laptop computer and searches all his
references … no answer. He taps into the air phone with his modem and searches
the Internet and the Library of Congress … no answer. Frustrated, he sends
e-mails to all his friends and coworkers but to no avail. After an hour,
he wakes Santa and hands him Rs. 5000. Santa thanks him and turns back to
get some more sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little miffed, stirs Santa
and asks, “Well, what’s the answer?”

Without a word, Santa reaches into his purse, hands the lawyer Rs. 50, and goes
back to sleep. And you thought Sardars were dumb.

Son of sardar

Bantu returns from his first day at school and immediately questions his
father.
” Dad, today we had a Spelling Class – All the other kids could only
say half the alphabet,
but I knew the whole thing.
Is that because I am Sardar?”

“No son, that’s because you are intelligent. “
Bantu seeming content
with the answer,
asks his father another question,
“Dad, today we had Math
class – All the other kids could only count from 1-10, I could count from 1 to
20.
Is this
because I am Sardar ??”

“No son, that’s because you are intelligent,” replies his father.
Happy with the answer,
Bantu poses another question to his father, “Dad,
today we had Medical Examination, all the other boys were shorter than me,
I was at least twice their height.
Is that because I am Sardar ??”

The father replies, “No son, that’s because you are 31 years old.”

Bhola’s body aches

Bholaji goes to the doctor and says “Doc, I ache all over.
Every where I touch it hurts.”

The doc says “Ok, touch your elbow.”

Bholaji touches his elbow and winces in genuine pain.

The doc, surprised,says “touch your head.”

Bholaji touches his head and jumps in agony.

The doc asks him to touch his knee and the same thing happens.

Every where Bholaji touches it hurts like hell.

The doc is stumped and orders a complete examination with X-rays etc… and
tells Bhola to come back after two days.

Two days later Bhola comes back and the doctor says, “We’ve found your problem…”

“Oh yeah? what is it ?”

‘You’ve broken your finger!’

God will save me

There came a big flood, and the water around Bhola’s house was rising
steadily..
Bhola was standing on the porch,
watching water rising all around him, when a
man in a boat came along and called to Bhola,
“Get in the boat and I’ll get
you out of here.
Bhola replied, “No thanks, God will save me.”

Bhola went into the house, and the water was starting to pour in. So, he went
up to the second floor.

As he looked out, another man in a boat came along, and he called to Bhola,
“Get in the boat and I’ll get you out of here.”

Again, Bhola replied, “No thanks. God will save me.”
The water kept rising.
So, Bhola got out onto the roof.

A helicopter flew over, and the pilot called down to Bhola, “I’ll drop
you a rope,grab onto it, and I’ll get you out of here.”
Again Bhola replied, “No thanks.
God will save me.”
The water rose and rose, and soon nearly covered the whole house.
Bhola fell
in, and drowned.

When he arrived in Heaven, he saw God, and asked Him, “Why didn’t you
save me from that terrible flood? Did I not show you my faith?”

With a loving but irritated tone God replied, “What more would you have
me do? I sent people in two boats and a helicopter?”

Santa knows everybody

Santa was bragging to his boss one day, “You know, I know everyone there is to
know. Just name someone, anyone, and I know them.”

Tired of his boasting, his boss called him bluff, “OK, Santa how about Tom
Cruise?”
“Sure, yes, Tom and I are old friends, and I can prove it.”

So Santa and boss fly out to Hollywood and knock on Tom Cruise’s door, and sure
enough, Tom Cruise, shouts, “Santa! Great to see you! You and your friend come
right in and join me for lunch!”

Although impressed, Santa’s boss is still skeptical. After they leave Cruise’s
house, he tells Santa that he thinks his knowing Cruise was just lucky.
“No, no, just name anyone else,” Santa says.
“President Bush,” his boss quickly retorts.
“Yes, I know him, let’s fly out to Washington.”
And off they go. At the White House, George W. spots Santa on the tour and
motions him and his boss over, saying, “Santa, what a surprise, I was just on
my way to a meeting, but you and your friend come on in and let’s have a cup of
coffee first and catch up.”

Well, the boss is very shaken by now, but still not totally convinced. After
they leave the White house grounds, he expresses his doubts to Santa, who
again implores him to name anyone else.

“The Pope,” his boss replies.
“Sure!” says Santa. “My folks are from Poland, and I’ve known the Pope a long
time.” So off they fly to Rome. Santa and his boss are assembled with the
masses in Vatican Square when Santa says, “This will never work. I can’t catch
the Pope’s eye among all these people. Tell you what, I know all the guards
so let me just go upstairs and I’ll come out

on the balcony with the Pope.”
And Santa disappears into the crowd headed toward the Vatican. Sure enough,
half an hour later Santa emerges with the Pope on the balcony.
By the time Santa returns, he finds that his boss has had a heart attack and
is surrounded by paramedics.
Working his way to his boss’ side, Santa asks, “What happened?”
His boss looks up and says, “I was doing fine until you and the Pope came out
on the balcony and the man next to me said, “Who’s that on the balcony with
Santa Singh?”

Billgates and god

If Bill Gates were killed in a car accident. He might
find himself being sized up by God.

“…Well, Bill, I’m really confused on this call. I’m
not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After
all, you enormously helped society by putting a
computer in almost every home in the world, and yet
you created that ghastly Windows 95. I’m going to do
something I’ve never done before. In your case, I’m
going to let you decide where you want to go!”

Bill replied, “Well, thanks, God. What’s the difference
between the two?”

God said, “I’m willing to let you visit both places
briefly if it will help you make a decision.”

“Fine, but where should I go first?”

God said, “I’m going to leave that up to you.”

Bill said, “OK, then, let’s try Hell first.”

So Bill went to Hell. It was a beautiful, clean, sandy
beach with clear waters.

There were thousands of beautiful women running around,
playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about.

The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect.

Bill was very pleased. “This is great!” he told God.
“If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!”

“Fine,” said God, and off they went.

Heaven was a high place in the clouds, with angels
drifting about playing harps and singing.

It was nice, but not as enticing as Hell.

Bill thought for a quick minute and rendered his
decision. “Hmm, I think prefer Hell,” he told God.

“Fine,” retorted God, “as you desire.”

So Bill Gates went to Hell.

Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late
billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell.

When God arrived in Hell, he found Bill shackled to a
wall, screaming amongst the hot flames in a dark cave.

He was being burned and tortured by demons.

“How’s everything going, Bill?” God asked.

Bill responded, his voice full of anguish and
disappointment, “This is awful; this is NOT what I
expected. I can’t believe this happened. What happened
to that other place with the beaches and the beautiful
women playing in the water?”

God says, “That was the screen saver.”

 

School revisited – General Knowledge.

• Physics

 

ARCHIMEDES PRINCIPLE:
When a body is immersed either wholly or partially in a fluid at rest, the apparent loss of weight suffered by it is equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by it.

AVOGADRO’s LAW:
Equal volumes of all gases under the same conditions of temperature and pressure contain equal number of molecules.

BLACK BODY RADIATION:
A black body absorbs heat or radiates heat more quickly than any other body.

BOILING POINT:
It increases with the increase of pressure. The presence of impurities also raises the boiling point of a liquid.

CENTRE OF GRAVITY:
A body will remain at rest only if the vertical line through the centres of gravity passes through the base of support of the body.

COULOMB’S LAW:
The force between the two electric charges reduces to a quarter of its former value when the distance between them is doubled.

FARADAY’S LAWS OF ELECTROLYSIS:
The amount of chemical change during electrolysis is proportional to the charge passed. The masses of substances liberated or deposited by the same quantity of electric charge are proportional to their chemical equivalents.

LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MATTER:
In chemical changes, matter is neither created nor destroyed. The sum total of the masses of all the products of a chemical change is exactly equal to the sum total of the substances from which these products have been formed.

LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS:
The amount of heat given to a system is equal to the sum of the increase in the internal energy of the system and the external work done. It is impossible to construct a continuous self-acting machine that can pump heat energy from a body at lower temperature to a body at higher temperature.

LENZ’S LAW:
When an electric current is induced by a change in magnetic field, the induced current is always in such a direction that its magnetic field opposes the change of field which causes the induction.

MASS – ENERGY EQUATION:
E = mc², where E = quantity of energy released from the annihilation of matter of mass ‘m’, c = velocity of light. It implies that mass and energy are interchangeable.

NEWTON‘S LAW OF COOLING:
The rate at which a body cools or loses its heat to its surroundings is proportional to the excess of mean temperature of the body over that of the surroundings, provided this temperature excess is not too large.

NEWTON‘S UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION:
Every body in the universe attracts every other body with a force, directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

NEWTON‘S LAWS OF MOTION:
Everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by a force [called Law of Inertia].

The rate of change of momentum of a moving body is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction of the force. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

OHM’S LAW:
The amount of current flowing in an electric circuit is governed by the voltage of the battery on dynamo which powers it. In other words, the current through a conductor is directly proportional the potential difference across the conductor and inversely proportional to its resistance.

RECTILINEAR PROPAGATION OF LIGHT:
Light travels in a straight line. Total internal reflection takes place when a ray of light tries to pass from a denser medium to a rarer medium at an angle of incidence more than the critical angle.

surroundings may be, grim or cheerful, you remain
unaffected. infact
you spread cheer wherever you go. You are the leader
of your group of
friends and good at consoling people in their times of
need. You
dislike hypocrisy and tend to shirk away from
hypocrites. They can
never be in your good books, no matter what. You are

methodical and
organized in your work. No amount of mess hence can
ever encompass
you. Beware; it is easy for you to fall in love.

You are a mysterious. You are someone who can handle
pressure with
ease, and can handle any atmosphere without going
berserk. You can be
mean at times and love to gossip with your selected
group. You are
very prim and proper. You like all situations and
things to be in the
way you desire, which, sometimes is not possible. As a
result, you may
lose out in some relationships. But other wise, you
love to help
people out from difficult and tight spots when they
really need you.

If you are a monkey
Very impatient and hyper!!! You want things to be done
as quickly as
possible. At heart, you are quite simple and love if
you are the
center of attraction. That way, you people are unique.
You would like
to keep yourself safe from all the angles. Should your
name be dragged
or featured in any sort of controversy. You then go
all panicky.
Therefore, you take your precautions from the very
beginning. When you
foresee anything wrong, your sixth sense is what saves

you from
falling in traps. Quite a money minded bunch you
people are.
