Rhino Virus


Hôm qua với hôm nay T bị chảy mũi nước, mùa này lại đang là mùa dịch tể của mấy con gây common cold bên Mẽo, mẹ nghĩ chắc dính Rhino virus rồi. Lên mạng tìm chút bài về đọc lại.

Bài trích từ eMedTV.com

What Is Rhinovirus?

The common cold is caused by a virus. More than 200 different viruses are known to cause the common cold. One such type of virus is the rhinovirus.

Facts About Rhinovirus

Rhinoviruses (from the Greek word rhin, meaning "nose") are the cause of the common cold in an estimated 30 to 35 percent of all adults. More than 110 distinct rhinovirus types have been identified. This virus belongs to the Picornaviridae family of viruses. A rhinovirus is a very small RNA virus.
Rhinovirus types are most active in early fall, spring, and summer. They can live up to 3 hours on your skin. They also can survive up to 3 hours on objects such as telephones and doorknobs.
These viruses grow best at temperatures of about 91 degrees Fahrenheit, the temperature inside the human nose.

Frequency

United States

Common colds are most frequent from September to April in temperate climates. Rhinovirus infections, which are present throughout the year, account for the initial increase in cold incidence during the fall and a second incidence peak at the end of the spring season. Colds that occur from October through March are caused by the successive appearance of numerous viruses, including coronavirus, RSV, and influenza virus, and parainfluenza. Adenoviral infections occur at a constant rate throughout the season.

Age

Because antibodies to viral serotypes develop over time, the highest incidence is found in infants and young children. In addition, young children are more likely to have the frequent, close, personal contact necessary to transmit rhinovirus. Contrary to the experience of adults, children may also be more contagious due to having higher virus concentrations in secretions and longer duration of viral shedding.

Symptoms

When someone becomes infected with a rhinovirus, he or she will experience what is commonly known as the common cold. The symptoms usually begin 2 to 3 days after infection. The symptoms of infection with this type of virus often include:

  • Mucus buildup in your nose (Nose dryness or irritation is often the first symptom and is followed within hours by profuse watery rhinorrhea, nasal secretions typically become thicker and colored after the first few days of illness; nasal congestion, and sneezing.)
  • Fever is absent or low grade. Infants and preschoolers are more likely to experience fevers, which are often 100-102oF
  • Nasal obstruction can interfere with sleep and feeding
  • Swelling of your sinuses
  • Sore throat
  • Cough
  • Headache
Symptoms in adults and adolescents usually resolve by day 7; however, symptoms often last 10-14 days in younger children
An infection rarely causes serious problems.

How Is It Transmitted?

Transmission of the rhinovirus occurs in one of two ways:
  • Touching your skin or environmental surfaces, such as telephones and stair rails, that have the rhinovirus on them and then touching your eyes or nose
  • Inhaling drops of mucus full of rhinovirus from the air when a contagious person coughs or sneezes.

Treating Rhinovirus

Just like with any other common cold virus, there are no treatments that can kill a rhinovirus. Therefore, treatment involves relieving symptoms as the body fights the rhinovirus infection. Some ways to reduce symptoms caused by an infection include:
  • Drinking plenty of fluids
  • Resting in bed
  • Taking common cold medicine
  • Gargling with warm salt water or using throat sprays or lozenges
  • Using a cool-mist humidifier.

Preventing an Infection

There are several ways you can reduce your chances of getting a rhinovirus infection. Suggestions include:
  • Washing your hands regularly
  • Keeping your hands away from your nose, mouth, and eyes
  • Limiting exposure to infected people
  • Practicing healthy habits
  • Using disinfectants.

Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving năm nay gia đình Bác Hai là happy nhất, tại bác Hai mới tậu được món đồ chơi mới. Ten ten ten tèn !!Mặt sau
Mặt trước
Nhìn từ trên xuống

(Hình lụm từ reviews.photographyreview.com)

Mẹ không hiểu biết gì nhiều về mấy món đồ chơi cao cấp này, nhưng cũng biết Canon nổi tiếng trước giờ về máy chụp hình, và Digital camera EOS 50D này là một lựa chọn khôn ngoan cho những tay ảnh nghiệp dư yêu nghệ thuật. Ngay cả khi mẹ đọc báo chí VN, mẹ thấy không chỉ có tay ảnh nghiệp dư mà những phóng viên chuyên nghiệp họ cũng lựa chọn EOS cho việc tác nghiệp của mình.

Bởi thế cho nên, kì này T về chơi được bác Hai ưu ái cho làm model trong mấy shoot ảnh cực pro. Check them out.

Lúc đầu còn bỡ ngỡ vì thấy flash mạnh, máy lạ, gồ ghề, hoành tráng (không bé xíu xiu như cái máy dzỏm của mẹ)- nên T khớp, chưa cười
Sau thì nhờ đội cổ vũ bên ngoài quá nhiệt tình, nên diễn viên bắt đầu diễn xuất :-)
Ba mẹ xem hình thích lắm, thích nhất là nhờ máy mạnh, nhanh, nên bắt được những khoảnh khắc rất tự nhiên của T, chứ mấy cái cảnh lăn lê bò toài này thì thấy nhiều, nhưng chẳng bao giờ đem lên hình được với cái máy xì-cúc của mẹ hết :-P
Hai diễn viên chính Bác Hai còn đang "ngâm kíu" bộ "súng ống" hoành tráng đó, tương lai hứa hẹn sẽ có nhiều pha ảnh độc đáo hơn nữa. Bravo bác Hai !!








------------------------------------------------------------------
Nhìn lại cái máy ảnh xì-cúc của mẹ (tuổi thọ 5 năm rồi)

Ba S hỏi "Chừng nào mẹ Tammy muốn mua máy mới ??!!!"


" Mua" hay "Không Mua" ?? (câu này giông giống "To Be or Not To Be" ;-))

Mẹ phải "si nghĩ " thêm vài ...tháng nữa , ....hic..hic....

Who Says Men Don't Remember Anniversaries

A woman awakes during the night to find that her husband was not in their bed.

She puts on her robe and goes downstairs to look for him. She finds him sitting at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee in front him. He appears deep in thought, just staring at the wall. She watches as he wipes a tear from his eye and takes a sip of coffee.

"What's the matter, dear?" she whispers as she steps into the room. "Why are you down here at this time of night?"

The husband looks up, "Do you remember 20 years ago when we were dating, and
you were only 17?" he asks solemnly.

The wife is touched thinking her husband is so caring and sensitive. "Yes, I do," she replies.

The husband pauses. The words are not coming easily. "Do you remember when
you father caught us in the back seat of my car?"

"Yes, I remember," says the wife, lowering herself into a chair beside him.

The husband continues..."Do you remember when he shoved a shotgun in my face and said, "Either you marry my daughter, or I will send you to jail for 20 years".
"I remember that too", she replies softly.

He wipes another tear from his cheek and says... "I would have gotten out today!"

We do not see the world as it is...
We see the world as we are...


Beautiful !

There was a lawyer and he was just waking up from anesthesia after surgery, and his wife was sitting by his side.

His eyes fluttered open and he said, "You're beautiful!" and then he fell asleep again.

His wife had never heard him say that so she stayed by his side. A couple minutes later his eyes fluttered open and he said "You're cute!"

Well, the wife was dissapointed because instead of "beautiful" it was "cute."

She said "What happened to 'beautiful'?"

His reply was "The drugs are wearing off!"

Mới ngủ dậy ...
