Superbugs are on track to kill 10 million people by 2050 if things don’t change—fast

[under reported ] Today, 23,000 Americans die each year from infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Across the world, the estimated annual mortality rate is 700,000. If these trends continue, by 2050, 10 million people globally will die each year, as the potent diseases of previous centuries return to their old force, according to the Review on Antimicrobial Resistance. In 2012, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported an estimated 450,000 new cases of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis. The emergence of multiple drug-resistant pneumonia and E. coli bacteria strains are predicted to contribute significantly to increased mortalities due to their ability to spread rapidly through populations.

Is the NHS in England stuck with soaring demand?

service struggling to keep up with demand. [...] ambulance response times, delays in A&E, and treatment for cancer - have been missed. All this against a background of increased attendances, more referrals & GPs being busier than ever. So is the NHS is stuck in a never-ending cycle of soaring demand? The kitchen at Stanborough Lodge care home in Welwyn Garden City is part of the NHS frontline in the fight to ease the strain on hospitals. [...] Staff and residents of care homes are being taught to cook nutritious foods [...] "And I think we're going to have to see the NHS pull its finger out a bit in terms of making those investments." Whatever differences there may be about why the NHS is so stretched, there is no denying that with money so tight and performance slipping on many fronts, time to find a solution is running out. //&! bbc.in/23xX0yf &! bbc.in/1S95lh1 [...] system facing both inexorably increasing patient numbers and severe financial strain."

Government planning to repeal animal welfare codes

Poultry industry to oversee chicken-farming standards as ministers move to create industry-led deregulation. Conservative ministers are planning to repeal an array of official guidance on animal welfare standards, starting with a move to put the code on chicken-farming into the hands of the poultry industry.

Liz Truss, the environment secretary, is overseeing moves to scrap the statutory codes on farm animal welfare and move to an “industry-led” guidance as part of her department’s deregulatory agenda. [ so industry funds its own regulatory body, lol! ] [...] Other sectors that could get control of their own guidance include the cattle, sheep and pig farming industries. //&!

Krebs: So lässt sich das Risiko verringern - SPIEGEL ONLINE

Vor Krebs fürchten sich die Deutschen wie vor keiner anderen Krankheit. Mit dem richtigen Lebensstil lässt sich das Erkrankungsrisiko deutlich verringern - leider aber ohne Garantie. Rocklegende David Bowie, Motörhead-Sänger Lemmy Kilmister oder "Harry-Potter"-Star Alan Rickman: Sie alle sind kürzlich an Krebs gestorben. Auch in Deutschland sind bösartige Tumore die zweithäufigste Todesursache, nur an den Folgen von Herz-Kreislauf-Erkrankungen sterben noch mehr Menschen. Die Erkrankungszahlen liegen noch deutlich höher. Im Laufe des Lebens erhalten jeder zweite Mann und fast jede zweite Frau die gefürchtete Diagnose, rund 500.000 sind es jährlich. [...] "Man kann jedes Fleisch bedenkenlos essen. Es kommt aber auf die Menge an", sagt Heiner Boeing vom Deutschen Institut für Ernährungsforschung Potsdam-Rehbrücke.

'Almost too late': fears of global superbug crisis in wake of antibiotic misuse | Society | The Guardian

Despite European Union regulations aiming to cut back on the unnecessary use of antibiotics, Dr Brown believes it will take more than just legislation to tackle the superbug crisis. Market forces will need to be compelled to cut usage, perhaps when prompted by a shift in public opinion, he said. “Those with a vested interest find ways around legislation. So, in addition to public policy we will need also the power of market forces,” he added. “When the public start demanding meat that has not seen antibiotics - because they understand that the meat may contain antibiotic resistant bacteria - only then will real progress be made. We need education about the threat.”

Bacteria that resist 'last antibiotic' found in UK - BBC News

[ over 80% of antibiotic use - livestock farming. also use of colistin. self-regulated. ] Bacteria that resist the most common antibiotic of last resort - colistin - have been discovered in the UK. Officials say the threat to human health is low, but is under ongoing review. Scientists warned the world was on the cusp of a post-antibiotic era when such resistance was discovered in China last month. Now checks have discovered the same resistance on three farms and in samples of human infections. [...] Colistin-resistance was discovered in fifteen of them, including samples of Salmonella and E. Coli. [...] The DNA that gives bacteria resistance to colistin - the mcr-1 gene - can spread rapidly between species. The concern is that colistin-resistance will now find its way into other superbugs to create infections that doctors cannot treat. //&! youtu.be/M2xZBngTIas //&! bit.ly/1O5oHWa //&! bit.ly/1MW3FYW //&! bbc.in/1PkB6G9 //&! 50-50 chance to salvage situation - bit.ly/1Zmx8Qg

Ein Hersteller ging demnach gerichtlich gegen die Veröffentlichung des Namens vor. In zweiter Instanz sei dem LGL die Namensnennung untersagt worden. [...] Die Mineralölrückstände stammen vermutlich aus der Druckfarbe der Verpackung. Die zuständigen Kreisverwaltungsbehörden sollen jetzt alle betroffenen Hersteller auffordern, die Quelle der Mineralölkohlenwasserstoffe zu ermitteln und deren Gehalt zu minimieren oder zu beseitigen, wie das LGL mitteilte.

Two-year-old children referred to NHS Grampian for being overweight - Press and Journal

Children as young as two have been referred to health officials for being overweight. New figures released by NHS Grampian have revealed that 70 youngsters aged 15 and under have been referred to weight management programmes this year. In 2014, 132 children were sent invitations – eleven of whom were as young as two. The highest number of referrals occurred in 2012, when 201 were invited. Nutrition expert Dr Alex Johnstone, of Aberdeen University’s Rowett Institute, said the figures mirrored a national trend in obesity which showed childhood obesity is declining. [...] NHS Grampian has already spent more money putting kids on the programme this year than last. The scheme involves healthcare professionals working with families to encourage healthier lifestyles.

WHO | A call for higher taxes on tobacco

Dr Margaret Chan and Mike Bloomberg call for higher taxes on tobacco. The evidence is clear: raising tobacco taxes cuts usage, encourages smokers to quit and discourages young people from picking up the habit in the first place. The United Nations ought to encourage countries to raise tobacco taxes to support the world’s Sustainable Development Goals and reduce tobacco use.

Campylobacter: tests fail to show organic chicken has higher infection rate | Environment | The Guardian

Results from the year-long testing programme [...] nearly three in four birds were contaminated, a fifth heavily so. It also found that 7% of packaging tested positive for campylobacter. [...] “Our survey has shown that levels of campylobacter on UK chickens are too high, regardless of whether they are organic, free-range, or conventionally produced,” [...] The agency now names and shames retailers. The worst offender in 2014-15 was Asda, with 80% of chickens contaminated, 30% heavily so, and 12% of packaging contaminated. However, no major retailers came out well. [...] Chicken contamination with campylobacter accounts for about four in five cases of the most common form of food poisoning. Although the bacteria can be killed through cooking, they make about 280,000 people in the UK sick each year, with thousands needing hospital treatment, and about 100 people a year dying. &! bit.ly/1ODVRts < nutritionfacts.org food poisoning //&! wash hands after supermarket - bit.ly/1KDAVij

BBC News - The fatal attraction of lead

The Romans boiled concentrated grape juice down in lead pots into a syrup that helped extend the life of wines. Why lead pots? According to the winemaker Columella, "brass vessels give off copper rust, which has an unpleasant flavour." The outcome is clear from bones in ancient Roman cemeteries, which contain lead levels more than three times the modern safe limit recommended by the World Health Organization. [...] Whether this contributed to the apparent madness of emperors such as Caligula and Nero, and the eventual collapse of the Empire remains a contentious question among classical scholars.
