Vaccination against measles —from Medical Coding Career Guide
MEASLES
* Measles vaccination & cases in the United Kingdom, 1950 – 2004.
* Countries where vaccination has declined: resurgence of measles, pertussis, or polio.
* resurgence of measles in Ireland and the United States (California).
* Decline in disease cases worldwide, 20th Century: smallpox, diphtheria, pertussis/whooping cough, tetanus/lockjaw, paralytic polio, measles, mumps, rubella, congenital rubella, haemophilus influenzae (flu).

Cancer is a well known deadly disease which affects lives of many people every year. Cancer can be caused in different parts of your body. Both men and women are equally affected by the deadly cancer disease. A commonly found cancer disease in women is breast cancer. It is caused because of the unusual growth of tumor cells in the breast region. If these tumor cells are allowed to grow continuously they affect the other normal healthy cells of that region. The development of these cells can start in a tiny tissue or a lobe or even in the vessels of the breast. Although breast cancer shows no early symptoms, still there are some signs which can help in diagnosing breast cancer in an early stage. Though it is hard to detect breast cancer in an early stage as almost no symptoms or signs occur in an early stage. In this type of cancer the patient not even feels any kind of pain at an early stage. But if one is familiar with the usual symptoms of breast cancer then there is much probability that breast cancer symptoms can be caught at an early stage. If diagnosed at an early stage, this deadly breast cancer can be cured completely.
Let us discuss some of the common breast cancer symptoms. Every woman is generally aware of the size and shape of her breast. So, one can check for any swelling or deformation in the breast by softly pressing the fingers on the breast surface. If you feel any mass, lump or any kind of thickening, consult a doctor immediately for a check up as it may be the first sign of deadly cancer. Appearance of rashes, scales on the skin can also be a symptom of breast cancer. If you find that one breast is growing larger in size as comparison to the other then you must consult a doctor.
The Symptoms of Breast Cancer
If during the examination, you encounter any of the following symptoms, it's important that you make an appointment to see your doctor at the earliest opportunity. Don't panic, but play it safe nevertheless.
• Changes in the breast: Do your breasts look swollen? Does part of your breast look swollen or misshapen?
• Changes in the skin: The skin may become dimpled, or there may be a rash that is scaly.
• Lumps: it goes without saying that lumps are the most common sign of breast cancer. Are there any painless hard lumps in your breast?
• Nipple changes: Your nipples may change appearance (often becoming inverted) and sometimes there will be discharge from the nipple.
Women need to check their breasts often to give themselves the best possible chance of successful treatment. Indeed, if you want to increase your chances of catching cancer early, you should examine your breasts every month and talk to your doctor if any of the above changes occur. The best way to stop breast cancer is early detection.

“My story started when a young man met a young lady on the campus of Florida A&M University. On their first date he asked the young woman if she carried the sickle cell trait! That young man became my dad and the young lady is my mother. My dad carries the sickle cell trait and was well aware that if he married someone who also carries the trait, their kids had a 50% chance of being born with full blown sickle cell disease. He discovered that my mother is not a carrier of the sickle cell trait. The rest is history.
“I am the oldest of three children and the only one with sickle cell trait. The first time I learned I carry the sickle cell trait was as a freshman at the University of Georgia. I called home and my mother said, “Your dad has the trait, but I don’t recall the doctor saying you had the trait when you were born.” All newborns are tested for the trait in Florida, yet I had gone my whole life without knowing.
“Once I learned I had the trait I researched as much as I could and talked with the football training staff. They assured me that the trait would not affect my ability to play. There were four freshmen who tested positive for the trait along with me and we were assigned a trainer who watched us closely during practice sessions and on game day. I was not treated differently by my teammates and went about my life just as I had before. One day I learned that a football player had died from complications of sickle cell trait while participating in spring practice at another university. That’s when I realized that this is a serious issue and I should not take any chances with my health. I played at the highest level in college and it earned me a spot in the NFL.
“I knew from my research that it would not be good for me to play in high altitude, so I prayed I wouldn’t get drafted by Denver, which is at a high altitude. I ended up in Cincinnati and have played at a very high level without any adverse affects of the sickle cell trait. During the 2011 season we did travel to Denver to play the Broncos and that was the first time I can truly say I felt the effects of the trait. I could not breathe after a 10-play series and had to be given oxygen on the sideline.
“Some of the changes I’ve made in my life include eating healthy, avoiding drugs and alcohol, not smoking, and most importantly getting a lot of rest. Everyone in my family knows that I have to take my daily nap. I drink more water, sports drinks, and coconut water than ever before because it is important to stay well hydrated before and after activities.
“Having the sickle cell trait does not exclude an athlete from participating in sports, however, the training staff and coaches need to take precautions to ensure the athlete is not put in dangerous situations. In high school my coaches would get on me because I was always in the back during running drills and I often got very tired. I think back now and realize that it could have been a dangerous situation for me if over-zealous coaches or I had pushed too much during those hot days in south Florida.
“Each year I am saddened to learn of another young athlete dying from complications of the trait while participating in sports. This vicious cycle lets me know that not enough information, education, and spotlight are given to this issue. My goal is to start a foundation, with the primary focus on offering testing for athletes at the high school level and getting education for trainers and coaches on how to help the athletes be the best they can be.”
CDC would like to thank Geno Atkins for sharing his personal story.
Artist: William Holmes, Wellington from the corner of Government House, 1863, Reference: B-159-003
Published in the Capital Times, 8 February 2012
Local school teacher William Holmes painted this watercolour in 1863. It shows the corner of Lambton Quay and Molesworth Street, looking along the Quay at low tide. Just out of frame to the right was old Government House (where the Beehive is now), soon to be replaced by a grand new Governor’s residence when Parliament and central Government moved to Wellington.
It is a charming scene, a suitable vista for a Governor. But it was not always quite so pleasant. Wellington, an editorial in the Evening Post declared about this time, “is rapidly approaching that state when it will be able to vie with any city in the world for stinks”. Open sewers and drains were the problem. It was worst on a warm, still day but the wind did not always help. Sometimes a good northerly just blew the refuse back on shore.
Nothing much was done, although reclamations moved some of the problem away from the Quay. Then in 1889 a typhoid outbreak almost killed the Governor’s young son. That finally brought some municipal action. The long-delayed sewerage system was completed and the city became a more fragrant place.

Vaccination against tetanus, also called lockjaw —from Medical Coding Career Guide
Tetanus is caused by a soil bacterium, which can enter the body through a scratch or puncture wound. It attacks the nerves, causing the muscles to become rigid; hence the old name. By the time the symptoms appear, it is too late. Tetanus is reported to be the one of the most painful deaths of all.
TETANUS / LOCKJAW
* Decline in disease cases worldwide, 20th Century: smallpox, diphtheria, pertussis/whooping cough, tetanus/lockjaw, paralytic polio, measles, mumps, rubella, congenital rubella, haemophilus influenzae (flu).
My husband is a walking statistic. In his lifetime, he's had cushing's disease and bacterial meningitis. Both are pretty rare. It was tough to get the cushing's diagnosed, though. Dr. Shrader, a urologist in Lewiston Idaho, saw Lyle for kidney stones and immediately asked him what steriods he was on. Lyle told him he wasn't on any steroids. 'Then we have a problem', he said. Lyle was on steroids, but not on the self administered voluntary type - his steroid was cortisone manufactured by his own pituitary gland. They performed surgery at OHSU in Febuary 1983. My understanding is that doctors are told they might see one case in their entire career. House did an episode on it. He was 16 when he had his surgery. Afterwards, he lost tons of weight. He went from 4'10'' to 5'2.5'' and from 142lb to 124lbs and from a 33 waist line to a 28 waist line in one summer. But he was not the same kid in more than physical appearance. His hormone levels weren't right before the surgery and I'm not sure what they normalized to after the surgery. He talks about the calm, gentle, very organized, straight A student he was before the surgery in contrast to the individual he became after the surgery. It really changed him. In my opinion, he suffers from post traumatic stress disorder, but what do I know? At this point, it doesn't really matter. Its been almost 30 years since his surgery and he is who he is now.
You may wonder if there is a connection between gum disease and heart disease. According to American Academy of Periodontology (AAP), there is a strong connection between worsened gum disease and heart disease. The study also tells that about 47% of American adults suffer from periodontal (gum) disease, and the number of people among them facing the risk of cardiovascular disorder development is also pretty much alarming.
A study by U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tells that 64 million people in US suffer from gum disease. And this health conditions puts them at the risk of certain other health conditions which are not only bad but also life threatening. Gum disease has also been found to contribute in the development of other diseases such as stoke, osteoporosis in adults, and diabetes. Since there are a lot of health risks concerned with gum diseases, dentists suggest people to be proactive when it comes to maintaining oral health.
How to prevent gum infections and heart disease
Gum health has always been important, and it becomes even more important if the connection between gum infection and heart disease is proven right on a wide scale. Having that said, there are a few things that you can do to ensure better gum and heart health.
•The first thing to be taken into the account is oral hygiene. Therefore, proper brushing, flossing and use of alcohol-free mouthwash can help you get rid of the bacteria which can cause oral infections.
•If you use tobacco in any form, it’s the time to start working on quitting. When you chew or smoke tobacco, you essentially let your oral cavity to get exposed to the toxins which can result in oral dryness, irritation and damage at cellular level. Therefore, if you want to maintain your oral health while making sure that your teeth remain strong and gums remain intact, you need to quit the use of tobacco.
•If activity in your life is limited, it’s the time to get up and get moving. You can maintain your cardiovascular health with the help of light to moderate exercise on daily basis.
•When it comes to health of the body, diet is something which we can never overlook. There is no aspect of body health which cannot be covered with the help of better diet. The first thing you should consider in this regard is to switch to clean, fresh and organic foods. Fast foods are directly harmful for oral and cardiovascular health. On the other hand, organic and fresh foods contain nutrients which give your oral and cardiovascular health the necessary sustenance in direct way.
•We all know how bad the stress can be. Apart from the mental condition at the time of stress, it can also result in long term health irregularities. The reason is the hormonal disturbance which triggers mental and physical disturbance. Hence, you need to avoid stress in order to stay healthy. For that purpose, you can exercise, meditate or listen to your favorite soundtrack.
This is about my daughter Kayla Lamers.
Kayla had set her plans in motion to become a vet. She would go back to school to upgrade some courses and pursue her dream. It took a lot of determination to go back to summer school and high school at 20 years of age, still battling social anxiety. She began to have the odd headache now and then and soon they became more unbearable. We contacted her Cardiologist, as she had heart surgery two years prior, and as always he saw us right away, we thought perhaps it was being caused by her blood pressure condition. He assured us it was not, nor was is a side effect of her Florinef,used to help with her blood pressure and fainting. He recommended she see her family physician and ask to see a neurologist as her symptoms were not that of a normal headache. He ordered a CAT scan to get things rolling.
So we headed to the family doctor, explained her pain and shared with him what the Cardiologist recommended. Our doctor saw no reason to see a neurologist at that time and that she should try massage therapy. Frustrated and with no other choice but to jump through the hoops she went for massage therapy, it mildly relieved the pain in her neck and shoulders but not the debilitating headaches. Upon returning to the family doctor, he placed her on Amitriptyline a drug used for the treatment of major depression and has been found useful for chronic headaches. On this drug she felt horrible and it did not help the headaches. Kayla returned again to the family doctor and it ensued in an argument resulting in Kayla storming out and telling him she was going to find herself another doctor. Under duress he made the referral to a Neurologist.
In the interim we watched everyday as her quality of life dwindled. She slept most of the time to avoid the pain, and yet the pain would wake her up. She experienced periods of blindness upon standing and her eyes hurt. She could no longer function and was forced to take a medical leave from work and drop out of school, letting go her dreams of becoming a vet. Her hope now is to attend college and become a vet tech, as she has enough credits to enroll.
At last the day came when we were to see the neurologist. We sat in his office as she explained her symptoms and he listened intently and made notes. He checked her over and did some balance and vision tests, after one hour he looked at us a said “I know what this is”. The relief we felt is beyond description, however short lived. As he explained, we felt that ominous pit open up and we felt it suck us down into its jowls.
Our little girl was diagnosed with a very serious incurable neurological disorder called Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension.
He stressed upon us how serious the condition is, and how proud he was of Kayla for pursuing and pushing the family doctor. If this fluid is left to build it damages the optic nerve and can cause permanent blindness. Now we had to do testing to confirm his suspicions. The next day he had Kayla in for an MRI; the following day she had another MRI with contrast. The following week she was scheduled for a lumbar puncture to withdraw spinal fluid and test the pressure at which it comes out. In the face of her claustrophobia and fear of needles she faced the tests with strength and dignity. In addition she was to see and Ophthalmologist to ensure no damage had been done to the optic nerve.
The MRI’s revealed there were no tumors and that the pituitary gland was normal. The final test and the most traumatic for her, the lumbar puncture, confirmed his suspicions. The Ophthalmologist performed a through exam of her eyes and has assured us that her optic nerve is not damaged. One method of protecting the optic nerve from the pressure is to surgically implant a sheath behind the eyes. He will continue to monitor her every three months.
It was time to discuss options. You can only manage this disorder so we have only three options. Another lumbar puncture to relieve pressure, but the first puncture left her with a terrible low pressure headache for a week so that option was ruled out. The second was to try medications to hopefully remove the excess fluid that was building in her brain. Then if conventional medicine failed she could have a VP brain shunt put in.
In Kayla’s case her condition is idiopathic, meaning no known cause; this makes it harder to manage. They do know however that certain drugs can contribute to the condition, acne medications for one, and she was on Minocycline. Also vitamin A in excess and she was using a vitamin A acid cream for acne. She was also placed on a salt free diet, so as not to retain fluids; weight loss is also a theory that may help. So she must give up the foods she likes, work to lose a few pounds, hard to do when you are in so much pain, and give up control of her acne. Though we have no control over anything and feel helpless, it is much worse for Kayla. Imagine having no control over your own body. Imagine that your own body has become an enemy. An enemy wearing your own face.
Kayla was placed on Diamox, a drug commonly used to help this condition however it comes with a plethora of side effects. Quite quickly she began to experience numb or painful tingling in her hands, feet, nose and mouth. It changes your taste buds so things taste funny and takes away your appetite. Long term it can cause kidney stones. Unfortunately it did nothing to help her headaches, it simply added to her everyday misery. After her trial period of Diamox was done, we noticed that her pupils would become extremely large for long periods of time increasing her light sensitivity and eye pain. Her neurologist does not know why this is happening but does not think it is something to be concerned with. He took her off Diamox because she was not tolerating it and started her on a new drug called Topamax, it works much like the Diamox, same side effects with the addition of forming Glaucoma.
She will see him in two months and if she has no relief with this latest drug he will refer her to a Neurosurgeon. Albeit he warned us that it will be entirely up to the surgeon as to whether he will perform the surgery. Whether the need outweighs the risk involved with brain surgery. In fact quite often they do not do the surgery until the patient actually losses vision. Upon hearing this we were stunned, wait till she goes blind…unacceptable.
Kayla wants the surgery and we support her. We realize that this disorder is for life, and that she will have to have the surgery again but her quality of life outweighs the risks. So we must plead our case, showing him that her quality of life or lack thereof, is worth the risk of brain surgery, as conventional medicine is not working.
At twenty years of age, Kayla has had to take a medical leave from work, quit school, quit dance and she can never drive. Her life amounts to sleeping...eating and barely that, the medicine kills your appetite and she has lost weight. She lies on the couch with her eyes closed because her eyeballs so are painful. As her Grandmother has said, she is not living, she is just existing.
She amazes us every day with her strength and ability to function. She still helps out around the house and still goes to family functions. She tries to read, which she loves; she tries to play video games with Brandon until her eyes just get to sore and must stop. She is still devoted to her rescued pets and gives them the love and care they need.
When she goes out she puts on a face, and to look and talk to her, you would never know that behind those eyes lurks unbearable pain and discomfort. That behind the smile there is unspeakable sadness, despair and desperation. That she wages an internal battle for the strength to face each day, hoping that maybe, just maybe her head and eyes won’t hurt as much.
While we wait she suffers.
While we watch, her spirit dies a little more every day, along with our own hearts, our own spirit.
We cannot protect her.
We feel helpless.
Yet we will continue to bear her pain, take her hand and eternally we will fight alongside of her.
Kayla is a wonder to us all and most wonderful of all is that she is still able to find her laugh and her smile.
Jason and I decided to go looking for an interesting place to shoot recently and we found ourselves wandering into a rather creepy old nursing home. We found some pretty cool things which had been left behind.

There's an outbreak of rabbits in Colorado this year. According to CBS News: "Health officials in Jefferson County, Colorado, are warning people to stay away from sick or dead rabbits because the animals may have a disease called "rabbit fever" that can also infect humans.
Rabbit fever, or tularemia, is a disease commonly found in rabbits, beavers and rodents, and it can be life-threatening in humans. However, if certain precautions are taken, the chances of contracting it are relatively low.
CBS Denver reports that this year health officials have issued a warning about the disease, which can be spread if people handle infected animals or if they get bitten by a tick or flea that carries the bacteria."

Behçet's disease is a disease that destroys blood vessels through systemic inflammation, manifesting as painful oral and genital ulcers, as well as vision destroying inflammation of the eyes. NHGRI researchers from Dan Kastner, M.D. Ph.D.'s group in the Inflammatory Disease Section of the Division of Intramural Research investigated the genetics using Illumina's Immunochip. This genotyping chip can identify the specific single changes in DNA that correlate with autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. They found novel DNA changes that are correlated with disease susceptibility, many of which are involved in immune response to invading pathogens.

The Postcard
A Wrench Classical Series postcard that was printed in England. Note the policeman directing traffic and pedestrians, and the man up a ladder attending to a lamp attached to the Bank of England.
The card was posted in South Tottenham on Saturday the 19th. July 1913 to:
Monsieur Fuibert,
49, Rue Boussingault,
Paris XIII.
On the message side of the divided back, a man named Maurice has written a long note to his parents in which he states that he is in perfect health and is residing at:
4, Cunningham Road,
Tottenham,
London.
The Bank of England
The Bank of England (on the left of the photograph) is the central bank of the United Kingdom, and the model on which most modern central banks have been based.
Established on the 27th. July 1694 to act as the English Government's banker, and still one of the bankers for the Government of the United Kingdom, it is the world's eighth-oldest bank.
It was privately owned by stockholders from its foundation in 1694 until it was nationalised in 1946 by the Attlee ministry.
The bank became an independent public organisation in 1998, wholly owned by the Treasury Solicitor on behalf of the government, with a mandate to support the economic policies of the government of the day, but independent in maintaining price stability.
The bank is one of eight banks authorised to issue banknotes in the United Kingdom. It has a monopoly on the issue of banknotes in England and Wales, and regulates the issue of banknotes by commercial banks in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
The Bank of England currently (2023) has reserves equivalent to 101.59 billion US dollars.
The bank's Monetary Policy Committee has devolved responsibility for managing monetary policy. The Treasury has reserve powers to give orders to the committee if they are required in the public interest and by extreme economic circumstances, but Parliament must endorse such orders within 28 days.
In addition, the bank's Financial Policy Committee was set up in 2011 as a macroprudential regulator to oversee the UK's financial sector.
The bank's headquarters have been in London's main financial district, the City of London, on Threadneedle Street, since 1734. It is sometimes known as The Old Lady of Threadneedle Street, a name taken from a satirical cartoon by James Gillray in 1797. The road junction outside is known as Bank Junction.
As a regulator and central bank, the Bank of England has not offered consumer banking services for many years, but it still does manage some public-facing services, such as exchanging superseded bank notes.
Until 2016, the bank provided personal banking services as a privilege for employees.
Suffragette Activity
So what else happened on the day that Maurice posted the card to his parents?
Well, on the 19th. July 1913, letter boxes across Birmingham were filled with a noxious substance, seriously burning a postman when he opened one box.
This was the work of suffragettes, who had initiated a bombing and arson campaign in 1912 which continued until 1914.
On the same day, Edith Rigby planted a pipe bomb at the Liverpool Cotton Exchange Building. This exploded in the public hall. After she was arrested, Rigby stated that:
"I planted the bomb because
I wanted to show how easy it
is to get explosives and put
them in public places".
Edith Rigby
Edith Rigby (née Rayner) was born on the 18th. October 1872. She was an English suffragette who used arson as a way of furthering the cause of women’s suffrage.
Rigby was the first woman in Preston to own a bicycle.
She founded a night school in Preston called St Peter's School, aimed at educating women and girls.
Later Edith became a prominent activist, and committed several acts of arson. She was incarcerated seven times.
Edith Rigby - The Early Years
Born in Preston, Lancashire, she was one of seven children of Dr Alexander Clement Rayner, and was educated at Penrhos College in North Wales.
Edith married Dr. Charles Rigby and lived with him in Winckley Square in Preston. From an early age she questioned the differences between working-class and middle-class women, and after she was married she worked hard to improve the lives of women and girls working in local mills.
In 1899, she founded St Peter's School, which allowed these women to meet and continue their education which otherwise would have stopped at the age of 11.
At home, she was critical of her neighbours' treatment of their servants. The Rigbys had servants themselves, but allowed them certain unconventional freedoms such as being able to eat in the dining-room and not being required to wear uniforms.
Edith Rigby's Activism
In 1907 Edith formed the Preston branch of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU). Rigby became a suffragette recruiter, gathering new members from among the local Independent Labour Party, including Eleanor Higginson, who became a lifelong friend.
Rigby took part in a march to the Houses of Parliament in London in 1908 with Christabel and Sylvia Pankhurst. Fifty-seven women, including Rigby, were arrested and sentenced to a month in prison.
During this time (and her six subsequent sentences), Rigby took part in hunger strikes and was subjected to force-feeding.
Edith's activism included planting a bomb in the Liverpool Corn Exchange on the 5th. July 1913, and although it was later stated in court that no great damage had been done by the explosion, Mrs Rigby was found guilty and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.
Rigby was given a Hunger Strike Medal 'for Valour' by WSPU.
Edith also claimed to have set fire to the bungalow of Sir William Lever (later Lord Leverhulme) on the 7th. July 1913. The property, near Rivington Pike on the West Pennine Moors, contained a number of valuable paintings, and the attack resulted in damage costing £20,000. Afterwards she said:
"I want to ask Sir William Lever whether he
thinks his property on Rivington Pike is more
valuable as one of his superfluous houses
occasionally opened to people, or as a
beacon lighted to King and Country to see
here are some intolerable grievances for
women."
Rigby disagreed with the WSPU's decision not to campaign on suffrage issues during the Great War.
Edith Rigby - The Later Years
During the Great War, Edith bought a cottage near Preston named Marigold Cottage, and used it to produce food for the war effort. With her short hair and men's clothes, she grew fruit and vegetables and kept animals and bees, following the teachings of Rudolf Steiner.
She had a happy marriage with her husband, who lived with her at her cottage. They adopted a son called Sandy. In the 1920's, Rigby was a founding member and the president of the Hutton and Howick Women's Institute. Rigby became a vegetarian.
In 1926 Charles Rigby retired, and the couple built a new house, called Erdmuth, outside Llanrhos, North Wales. Charles died before it was finished, however, and Edith moved there alone at the end of 1926.
She continued to follow Steiner's work, forming an "Anthroposophical Circle" of her own, and visiting one of his schools in New York.
Into old age she enjoyed a healthy lifestyle, bathing in the sea, fell walking and meditating into the early hours of every morning.
Edith eventually suffered from Parkinson's disease and died at home at the age of 77 on the 23rd. July 1950 at Llanrhos, Wales.
