Dr. Renaldo Ortunio works for Doctors Without Borders. He says even a single case of measles is one too many.
Measles is a preventable disease by vaccine, so you shouldnt have an epidemic, an outbreak in this country. But unfortunately, there are some weaknesses at the Ministry of Health, in the regular vaccinations and of course, with this lack of vaccination among children, we see an outbreak every three to four years, which is the case currently in Conakry.
Health officials have been urging parents to watch their children for signs of measles: high body temperature, redness in the eyes, white areas on the mouth, and skin discoloration on the face and neck.
Shivering Could Help Burn Body Fat
North America was in a deep freeze this winter. Cold air from the Arctic led to record low temperatures in some areas. But now, a new study has found that all that cold air may actually be good for your health.
It was so cold in Chicago, Illinois last month that people were being warned to stay inside. Paige Worthy was born and lives in the place that Americans call The Windy City. She says this was the worst winter she can remember.
It actually hurt to breathe in because the air is so cold that I actually have to cover my mouth with a scarf to keep my lungs from actually hurting.
Shivering is an involuntary response to cold. It is the subject of a new study published in the journal Cell Metabolism. Researchers say they found that shivering or shaking causes the body to release a natural hormone called irisin. The hormone activates brown fat -- the good fat in your body that burns calories and helps to support weight loss.
