Urban Slums a Failure of Human Civilizations
Today over one billion people live in Urban Slums on Earth and that number is rising at an alarming rate. In Kibera in Nairobi Kenya, some 800,000 people are living is severe conditions, including raw sewage and around 1,000s dying of HIV/AIDS. Kibera in Nairobi is merely one humanitarian crisis and there are many more like it Africa, Asia, South America and Indonesia. Africa had an estimated 14 million orphan children of HIV/AIDS victims and that was a figure from 2001, some believe the number now is nearly double if not triple today. Even without the AIDS crisis, 32.5% of the Earth's human population lives in Urban Slum areas with very similar living conditions. Thankfully in many of these world...
Losing a child is one of the worst experiences that any human being can suffer. We all know that our life has to come to an end eventually and we mourn the passing of our parents and elderly aunts and uncles. As heartbreaking as this is, that is the life cycle, that is how it is supposed to be. We are not supposed to survive our child. To lose a child is beyond cruel. It goes against all of our expectations of what life is supposed to be, how our lives are supposed to play out. It shatters our vision of the fairy tale existence that has been spoon-fed us since early childhood. So when a beloved child dies, the fairy tale turns into a macabre nightmare, only this nightmare pervades our minds...

Angelman Syndrome - Causes, Symptoms And Treatment
Angelman Syndrome is a genetic disorder caused by a fault in chromosome 15. There are many ways to treat the disorder but unfortunately, there are no proven methods to cure it. However, researchers are continuing to search for ways to permanently cure the disease. Angelman Syndrome, sometimes called AS for short was once known as 'happy puppet' because of the patient's sunny outlook and jerky movements. It was later renamed after Harry Angelman, the physician who pioneered investigation into symptoms of the disease in 1965. AS causes developmental delay and neurological problems, and can affect any person regardless of their race, gender, or age. Angelman Syndrome is usually not recognized at birth...
Needle Stick Injury - Who Bears the Brunt?
A hospitalized patient with AIDS became agitated and tried to remove the intravenous (IV) catheters in his arm. During the struggle, an IV infusion line was pulled. A nurse at the scene recovered the connector needle at the end of the IV line and was attempting to reinsert it when the patient kicked her arm, pushing the needle into her hand. The nurse who sustained the needle stick injury tested negative for HIV that day, but she tested HIV positive several months later. This is not the only case. Everyday healthcare workers are exposed to dangerous and deadly blood-borne pathogens and are at risk of occupational acquisitions of blood-borne illnesses. Occupational exposure to blood-borne pathogens...
The Advantages of Undergoing a Private Blood Test
There are many reasons why people undergo a private blood test. Some get such tests for health monitoring or annual physical examination. Other patients already undergo a private blood test before going to their doctors so that when they arrived at the clinic, they already have the results in hand. This facilitates for faster diagnosis and medical care. Private blood testing can help identify medical conditions that may still be asymptomatic. This means that even if you have already an illness, you may not have any symptoms yet. Also, blood tests can determine risk factors for several diseases. Once you know that you are at risk for certain disease, you can modify your lifestyle and take medications...

Ultra-fast, accurate identification of HIV 1 (Group M and Group O) RNA, HIV 2 RNA, Hepatitis C Virus RNA and Hepatitis B Virus DNA in human plasma from as early as 7days post exposure. Preliminary diagnosis of very early HIV and Hepatitis C disease is now possible at 7 days post possible exposure. This time frame was previously unavailable but utilisation of standard routine technology in a novel diagnostic style will facilitate very early diagnosis. The technique utilises a fully automated system made by Roche and the testing method uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) or NAT (Nucleic Acid Amplification) todetect miniscule amounts of viral (and the technique can be applied to bacteria) genetic...

On a sunny, cloudless afternoon in Brentwood, California, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation hosted the A Time for Heroes Celebrity Carnival, presented by Disney. The June 8 carnival was a huge success, providing a day of family fun and raising nearly $1 million to help support the Foundation's lifesaving programs for children and families. The carnival has been a tradition in Los Angeles since Elizabeth Glaser and her two friends, Susie Zeegen and Susan DeLaurentis, started the Foundation nearly 20 years ago.

Passover in Kampala
"Next year in Jerusalem." The words at the end of the Passover seder always give me chills. How many Jews over how many generations have longed to celebrate in the Holy Land. This past year, though, I was faced with a dilemma. I wouldn't be celebrating Passover in Jerusalem or even, as usual, at the festive table of Nancy and Charlie Behrend in suburban Denver. I would be adrift, working half a world away in Kampala, Uganda. The possibility of Passover without family, friends and a seder loomed large. Three colleagues and I were heading to Kampala to work on a series of videos about a Boulder, Colorado based non-government organization called BeadforLife beadforlife.org that is making a big...
It looks as if Madonna is following in Oprah's footsteps, as the perennial pop star plans on opening a school in Malawi. Madge first became interested in the poverty-stricken African nation, where one million children are orphaned by AIDS, a few years ago and subsequently adopted one of those orphans, her three-year-old son David. Madonna plans on opening her own girls school in Malawi in the near future and tells the harrowing history of Malawi in her documentary, I Am Because We Are. The Sundance Channel hosted the film's television debut (its audience was previously limited to isolated theater screenings) December 1, also World AIDS Day. Directed by Nathan Rissman, not Madge's soon-to-be ex...
How does Princess Diana do?
R>Princess Diana was loved around the world for her humanitarian and compassionate work. Her easy rapport with people in need and her warm, understanding heart touched millions of lives. Here she describes the incident that turned the attention of the world to the cause of AIDS. I had always wanted to hug people in hospital beds. A visit to an AIDS hospice in 1991, with Mrs. Bush, was a stepping stone for me. This particular man, who was so ill, started crying when I sat on his bed, and he held my hand, and I thought Diana, do it, just do it, and I gave him an enormous hug. It was just so touching because he clung to me and he cried. I thought, Wonderful! On the other side of the room, a very young...
The $64,000 question: What makes A BLACK MAN CHEAT? Not just any man but, a BLACK MAN! The article is written by Jeanine Amber and the content is based off of data collected from an estimated 25,000 people surveyed. This article is probably one of the most realistic descriptions of a black mans psyche that I've read. Whether happily married or single and searching, will he be faithful? Jeannine asks. She covers both ends of the spectrum and everything in the middle from the married man who married knowing he was going to cheat on his wife,to the pastor, the other woman, the single father all the way to the faithful husband. I won't spoil it for you, however, I would like to point out some staggering...
Aids Foundation - "Africa Alive Foundation" - Part I My religious education classes taught me that the road to heaven was smooth, straight and paved with gold but up until 53 months ago I had thought that if there was a God, she must have a strange sense of humour for I was definitely not on that road. Or perhaps in this incarnation she had accidentally handed me the wrong road map. My life had been a series of sporadic events, convoluted roads and numerous unrelated specks scattered through time. Then suddenly a fierce whirlwind swirled all around me, swirling and twirling until it blew me 17,000 kilometres away from home. What I didn't realise was that those events were all interlinked, and were...

Nail Fungus Infections In Children
Young Children Are Prone To Nail Fungus Children are sometimes prone to nail fungus because they usually don't understand the importance of good hygiene and hand washing. The fingernails can be one of the dirtiest parts of children's bodies. The underside of the nails can contain a reservoir of microorganisms, especially if their nails aren't kept short.

Protective Phytonutrients - The Top 10
The focus in nutritional research is tending to move away from vitamins and minerals to lesser known plant compounds. The reason for this shift is that, for at least the past 50 years, extensive research has failed to show that vitamin supplements help to prevent degenerative diseases such as cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's (and other neurodegenerative diseases), diabetes and other chronic illnesses. In fact contemporary research has demonstrated that those who take vitamins on a regular basis are at a greater risk for certain cancers and other diseases! Somewhat paradoxically research that shows conclusively that people who eat diets that are rich in vitamin containing fruit and vegetables are...

Whale hunting? Exactly what research are they doing? Japan has stated they are doing Whale research in killing these poor creatures. Well, what exactly are they researching? What journals have come out of Japan on Whales? What new theories do they have to offer? Why are we kept in the dark?

Can Chocolate lovers and Coffee Drinkers stop Deforestation? I hear arguments about Chocolate lovers and Coffee Drinkers needing to stop deforestation because it is the forests, more specifically the rainforests that produce the chocolate we eat and the Coffee that people drink. My question is, it seems that the Chocolate making companies and the Coffee Companies would have more to lose. Why don’t they buy up big plantations and help save the rainforests? If the rainforests are gone, yes we lose our Chocolate and coffee and possible cancer fighting drugs but they will lose the entire company. So, it seems we all need to do something. I just think that the companies have bigger pockets and more...

I think as sentiment human beings we could learn only to hunt the animals that we need to eat and let the other animals take care of themselves. Another possibility is that we could breed animals just for Animals are our...

So here are indicators to help you assess yourself in terms of sharpening your awareness or consciousness. • You have awareness of the beating of your heart and the flow of your breath.
