‘Efforts on to achieve goal of malaria eradication by 2030'
Varanasi: The health department organised a training workshop on the treatment and management of dengue, chikungunya, and malaria patients on Thursday. Chief Medical Officer Dr Sandeep Chaudhary along with BHU professors Dr Nilesh Kumar and Dr Gopal Nath trained private and govt doctors and nursing home operators on the treatment and management of the deseases. The CMO said that platelet deficiency is not the cause of death in dengue patients. According to international standards, a patient does not require a platelet transfusion unless their platelet count is below 10,000 and there is active bleeding. Platelet transfusion is not the primary treatment for dengue. He explained that dengue fever is a mosquito-borne disease caused by one of four types of dengue viruses, spread by the bite of an infected female Aedes aegypti or Aedes albopictus mosquito. Common symptoms of dengue include high fever, runny nose, mild red rashes on the skin, cough, and pain behind the eyes and in the joints. Some individuals may develop red and white spotted rashes, followed by loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, etc. Patients with dengue should seek medical advice, rest, and drink plenty of fluids. Paracetamol can be taken to reduce fever and joint pain, but aspirin or ibuprofen should be avoided as they can increase the risk of bleeding. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Investire è più facile che mai BG SAXO Scopri di più Undo Prof Nilesh Kumar said that there were no malaria-related deaths in the state in 2024. Efforts are being made to achieve the goal of malaria eradication by 2030. He highlighted the measures taken by the govt to prevent malaria transmission and its management. Prof Gopal Nath explained that only certain species of Anopheles mosquitoes spread malaria. When a female Anopheles mosquito feeds on the blood of a malaria patient, the malaria parasite enters its stomach. This mosquito then infects a person with malaria. Fever occurs within 14 to 21 days of the malaria parasite entering the human body. Information was provided on the symptoms, identification, and treatment of malaria patients. State-level PATH-CHRI senior technical officer for Malaria, Dr Amrit Shukla, emphasised the need for immediate malaria testing of fever patients and prompt comprehensive treatment if found positive.

Heartwarming Video Of Woman Offering Water To Thirsty Monkey Viral
Ask anyone about their experience with monkeys, and most would say it wasn't pleasant. But a heartwarming video of a woman offering water to a thirsty monkey has gone viral on social media. The short clip, posted to Instagram, starts with a monkey loitering around a schoolboy. The boy with a schoolbag on his back is seen standing on a railway platform. The monkey, in search of water, lunges onto his bag, which had a bottle tucked into the side pocket. The boy, a bit taken aback, steps away from the monkey. A woman standing behind him observes the scene and takes out the water bottle from her schoolbag. The monkey is seen following her. She goes near a pole, cups her left palm and pours water into it. The animal, holding the bottle like a baby, drinks while others observe the scene. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Nilesh Kumar (@nilesh22.____) The video quickly went viral, with many users appreciating the woman's kindness. One user commented, "I wish every other woman was like this." Another wrote, "Only mothers have such kinda heart." "Best reel on Instagram," said another. A fourth user wrote, "After all, a mother is always a mother." Earlier, a video of a monkey consoling a man went viral on social media. The video opens with a man sitting adjacent to a monkey wearing shorts and a shirt. The man makes a number of movements indicating he is under stress. The monkey recognises that the person is struggling and offers support. The monkey places his head in its lap, pats it on the back, and encourages it to lie down. After the man agreed, the monkey is seen patting his shoulder in an attempt to comfort and calm him.
