i have a couple questions about it?
1.) Can in lead up to be deadly? (but rare)
2.) If your sick enough, how long can it last.
3.) What other than a high fever, comes along with this disease?
uncertain of the correct spelling any info would be appreciated.
A friend’s son 3.5 years old – has been diagnosed with a rare heart disease. He will need to have an open heart surgery fairly soon, most likely within the next 2 weeks. Since this type of operation cannot be performed in Serbia, where he lives, we are looking for a hospital in Europe or USA where this can be done.
I would like to ask you if you know by any chance what would be the best children’s hospital for this kind of surgery, or if you know anyone who has a child and had a similar procedure done. We are recommended some hospital in London, but I’m looking for alternatives in the rest of Europe (Germany, France, …) and in the USA.
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease, caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis, that most commonly occurs in wild and domestic mammals. Anthrax occurs in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals, or when they are directly exposed to B. anthracis. Depending on the route of infection, anthrax disease can occur in three forms: cutaneous, inhalational, and rarely, gastrointestinal.
The anthrax vaccine was originally licensed in 1970 by the U.S. National Institute Of Health (NIH) and in 1972 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) took over responsibility for vaccine licensure and oversight. In 1997, the Clinton administration initiated the Anthrax Vaccine Immunization Program, under which active U.S. service personnel were to be immunized with the vaccine. Much controversy has surrounded the program since its inception, since vaccination was mandatory, and a perception developed that the anthrax vaccine was unsafe, causing sometimes

My friend’s baby who is 6 months is diagnosed with hepatoblastoma i.e liver cancer. According to the doctor, it’s a very rare disease. The baby was born normal and did not show any symptons of illness. Her peditrician noted abnormality on her stomach (swelling) and ordered her parents to do full check-up and later she was diagnosed with the disease. She is now under chemotherapy. How does this disease starts and happens to such a small baby?

Huntingtons is a very rare disease, My father has been diagnosed with it. The facts say that there is a 50% chance of it being passed on to the children from the parents. So my question mainly is, does this mean if my parents started having children at a young age, and Huntingtons doesnt really show up until your in your 40′s normally, would that mean I have any less of a chance of getting it? and they had 4 of us kids, so does that mean I being the youngest, have less of a chance as well…or is it all still 50% chance…I dont get it
have recently reunited with my father after 13 years and it was a happy occassion. The only thing that worries me is that I found out he has been diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis. I know this is a rare disease to get (even if a family member has it) but it is still in the back of my mind. My questions for those who have Ankylosing Spondylitis are:
1. Do one of you parents have the condition?
2. If you have children, did they develop the condition (assuming they are old enough)?
3. My dad has lost all range of motion in his neck? Is this a general effect or can stiffness of the neck be reduced? I would hate not to be able to turn my neck.
Thanks for all of the help.
