Half of tuberculosis patients are contagious and have increased activity and attention deficit

Such data was provided by the Ministry of Health of Belarus. Over the past year alone, it has been noted that, for example, in the Grodno region, which holds the lead in the number of patients who are bacterial isolators, more than 64% of patients diagnosed with tuberculosis are dangerous to others.

Minsk is in second place, with 58.6% of patients being bacterial isolators, and Minsk and Vitebsk regions are in third place, with figures of 51.6% and 49%, respectively.

At the same time, according to the Ministry of Health, these figures show not only the actual incidence of tuberculosis, but also the success of preventive and curative measures that make it possible to identify patients in the early stages of the disease. As of January 2010, slightly less than 12 thousand patients diagnosed with tuberculosis were registered in Belarus, among whom almost 5.7 thousand are contagious.

In addition, experts note that the number of people whose bodies are resistant to medications is increasing among patients. However, a similar trend is observed throughout Europe. In Belarus, there were 15.8% of such patients in 2008, and 20.3% in 2009.

Increased activity and attention deficit

Traditionally, it was believed that children with increased activity were the result of poor parenting. They say that negligent parents are to blame for everything, who either spoiled their children too much, or, conversely, did not pay any attention to them. However, a recent study by American scientists, funded by independent organizations rather than large pharmaceutical companies, has refuted these concepts.
It turns out that genetics should be blamed for everything - if the parents are to blame, then only indirectly. In particular, scientists have identified DNA markers in the same area of the brain in sufferers with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as in patients with schizophrenia and autism. Therefore, as the authors of the study explain, ADHD can be classified as a nervous disorder rather than as a behavioral problem.

"I hope that many families who experience criticism and ridicule when trying to explain their child's behavior will be relieved," says Dr. Kate Langley. "Also, many adults will be able to stop blaming themselves for not paying enough attention to children at the time."

The results of the study forced scientists to look at the development of the syndrome from a completely different angle. Previously, doctors believed that children "outgrow" hyperactivity over time, but now it turns out that they still have problems in adulthood. 1xbet casino welcome bonus €1950 + 150 free spins, use this 1xbet promo code free spins you can enjoy a vip bonus.
