Infectious Coryza is a bacterial disease that affects upper respiratory tract of chicken and manifest itself with closed eyes, discharges from nostrils and death. This is the culprit responsible for high mortality mostly seen in chicks. It is not the only disease that affects eyes but it is a killer disease and most chicken farms are suffering from it in Namibia.  Poultry being a niche inteprise it is upon that fact that farmers be given information. This bacteria affects other birds like quails and pheasants as well. Therefore poultry farmers need to know signs of Infectious Coryza in order to control its incidences on farms. All birds act as reservoirs and all ages are susceptible. It takes about 1-3 days from infection to the first clinical sign appearance and the disease situation takes about 2-3 weeks. The disease can affect 70% of the population especially if birds are kept in poorly ventilated houses. Despite this disease being deadly and affecting all chicken age group...

Key Takeaways In a new paper, researchers are warning pregnant people not to take acetaminophen, a common over-the-counter (OTC) medication used to treat pain and relieve fevers. The researchers cite some previous research that linked acetaminophen use in pregnancy to negative health outcomes in babies and children. Doctors say that pregnant people should be cautious about taking any medications, including acetaminophen. For years, acetaminophen (also called paracetamol) has been considered a safe medication to take for pain relief during pregnancy. Now, researchers warn that the common over-the-counter (OTC) pain reliever may interfere with fetal development, and they are advising pregnant people to be cautious about taking the drug. Tylenol is a popular brand of acetaminophen. New Recommendations In the new consensus statement published in Nature Reviews Endocrinology, the researchers cite a growing body of evidence that suggests acetaminoph...

As COVID-19 cases continue to skyrocket across the U.S. and the world, few options are available for treating patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2. But new research from the University of Georgia offers hope for a viable therapeutic to combat the disease that has claimed more than 4 million lives worldwide. Published in Nature's Scientific Reports, the study found that probenecid has broad antiviral properties, making it a prime candidate to combat not only SARS-CoV-2 infection but also other common and deadly respiratory viruses like RSV and flu. Probenecid is an FDA-approved medication that's primarily used to treat gout, and it's already widely available in the U.S. The drug has been on the market for over 40 years and has minimal side effects. Ralph Tripp, GRA Eminent Scholar of Vaccine and Therapeutic Studies, talks with a colleague.
