Kristen Bell says ''Try to eradication of Polio with Rotary Support''
Kristen Bell Says: We are close to ending polio
What's Polio-
Poliomyelitis, or polio, paralyzed and is an infectious disease that can be fatal. It is caused by the polio virus. The virus is spread from person to person, and (parts of the body can not move) the brain and spinal cord, causing paralysis in the infected person can invade.Symptoms
Become infected with the polio virus, which most people (about 72 out of 100) will not have any obvious symptoms.
About 1 polio virus are infected, can cover every 4 people who have flu-like symptoms
- Sore throat
- Fever
- Tiredness
- Nausea
- Headache
- Stomach pain
These symptoms usually 2-5 days and then go away on its own.
Polio virus infection, a small percentage of people with brain and spinal cord that affect other more serious symptoms develop:Paresthesia (feeling of pins and needles in the legs) Meningitis (covering the spinal cord and / or brain swelling) polio virus infection occurs in approximately 1 in 25 people Paralysis with polio virus infection is about 1 in 200 people, hands and feet, or two or weakness (can not move parts of the body)
This paralysis may be permanent disability and death, because polio is associated with more severe symptoms. Is paralysis from polio virus infection, in which 100 people between 2 and 10 that affects the muscles that help them breathe that die from a virus.
Fully 15 to 40 years later, as adults, new muscle pain, weakness or paralysis may develop seem to recover even the children. This is called post-polio syndrome.
"Polio" (or for short, "polio") is known as the paralytic disease that note. People only paralyzing disease is considered to infection.Transfer
Polio is a virus that infects only humans. It is very contagious and is spreading from person to person contact. A person infected with the virus in the throat and intestines. It is through droplets from sneezing or coughing is less common, although it enters the body through the mouth and feces of an infected person (defecation) is spread through contact with. A stool on your hands and you touch your mouth if you can get infected by the polio virus. You like feces (poop) that are contaminated with toys as objects put into your mouth In addition, you can become infected.
Symptoms immediately after an infected person spread the virus to others before and may be about 1-2 weeks. Virus in the feces of an infected person for several weeks can stay. It can contaminate food and water in unsanitary conditions.
Virus do not have symptoms, those who still passing on to others and making them sick.PreventionPolio vaccine for polio prepare your body to fight the virus protects the children. Almost all children get the recommended dose of polio vaccine all of which (99 of 100 children) will be protected.
A vaccine inactivated poliovirus (IPV) and oral polio vaccine (OPV) can prevent that two types of polio vaccine. IPV only since 2000 has been used in the United States, OPV is still used in many parts of the world.
Types of Polio:
There are three types of polio infections:- Sub-clinical: Approximately 95 percent of polio cases are sub-clinical, and patients may not experience any symptoms. This form of polio does not affect the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).
- Non-paralytic: This form, which does affect the central nervous system, produces only mild symptoms and does not result in paralysis.
- Paralytic: This is the rarest and most serious form of polio, which produces full or partial paralysis in the patient. There are three types of paralytic polio: spinal polio (affects the spine), bulbar polio (affects the brainstem), and bulbospinal polio (affects the spine and brain stem).
What Causes Polio?
Polio virus is often transmitted from person-to-person through fecal
matter. People living in areas with limited access to running water or
flush toilets often get the virus from drinking water contaminated by
human waste that contains the virus.
In addition, the virus can be spread by contaminated food or water
or direct contact with another infected person. According to the May
Clinic, the virus that causes polio is so contagious that anyone living
with an infected person will likely become infected themselves.
Pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems, such as HIV+ people, and young children are the most susceptible to the polio virus. If you have not been vaccinated, you increase your risk of contracting polio by:
- traveling to an area that has had a recent polio outbreak
- taking care of or living with someone infected with polio
- handling a laboratory specimen of the virus
- having your tonsils removed
- extreme stress, which can compromise immune system function
Recognizing the Symptoms of Polio:
Sub-clinical polio may not trigger noticeable symptoms. In fact it is
estimated that 95 to 99 percent of infected patients are asymptomatic.
In the five percent of polio cases in which patients do experience
symptoms, they can range from mild to severe. Paralytic polio (polio
that leads to paralysis) has more severe symptoms and can be fatal.
Patients with non-paralytic polio experience mild, flu-like symptoms. Kristen Bell polio is still a problem for small children in the world found that, she knew she had to intervene.
Sub-Clinical Polio:
If patients do have symptoms, they usually last for 72 hours or less and may include:- headache
- sore, red throat
- slight fever
- vomiting
- general discomfort
Non-Paralytic Polio:
The symptoms of non paralytic polio may last for a couple of days to a week or two and includes- fever
- sore throat in the absence of upper respiratory infection
- headache
- vomiting
- fatigue
- abnormal reflexes
- problems swallowing and/or breathing
- back and neck pain and stiffness, particularly neck stiffness with forward flexion of the neck
- arm and leg pain or stiffness
- muscle tenderness and spasms
Paralytic Polio
People with paralytic polio experience the symptoms associated with non-paralytic polio first. Soon after, the following symptoms appear:- loss of reflexes
- severe spasms and muscle pain
- loose and floppy limbs, sometimes on just one side of the body, this is due to the weakness which results from the involvement of the spine
- sudden paralysis (temporary or permanent)
- deformed limbs (especially the hips, ankles, and feet due to prolonged weakenss and the lack of appropriate orthopedic bracing
Post-Polio Syndrome
The symptoms of post-polio syndrome are:- continuing muscle and joint weakness
- muscle pain that gets worse
- becoming easily exhausted or fatigued
- muscle wasting, also called muscle atrophy
- trouble breathing and/or swallowing
- sleep related breathing problems (sleep apnea)
- becoming easily cold or
- new onset of weakness in previously uninvolved muscles
Part 5 of 7: Diagnosis
How Do Doctors Diagnose Polio?
Doctors will use the patient’s reported symptoms to help determine
whether he or she has polio. During a physical examination, a doctor
may notice that the patient has impaired reflexes, back and neck
stiffness, or difficulty lifting his or her head while lying flat.
To definitively diagnose polio, a doctor will take a sample of the patient’s throat secretions, stool, or cerebrospinal fluid (fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord). The sample is then tested to see if it contains poliovirus and if the cells in the cerebrospinal fluid demonstrate changes consistent with what is called aseptic meningitis (a brain infection)
Rarely, the shots can cause mild or severe allergic reactions, including:

How Do Doctors Treat Polio?
There is no cure for polio. Doctors can only treat the symptoms
while the infection runs its course. The most common treatments
include:
- rest
- painkillers to relieve headaches, muscle aches, and muscle spasms
- antibiotics for urinary tract infections
- portable ventilators to help with breathing
- physical therapy and/or corrective braces to help with walking
- heating pads or warm towels to ease muscle aches and spasms
- physical therapy to treat pain in the affected muscles
- physical therapy to address breathing and pulmonary problems and then pulmonary rehabilitation to increase the patient’s pulmonary endurance as the acute breathing problems improve
- In advanced cases of leg weakness, when a patient has difficulty walking he or she may need a wheelchair or other mobility device
Part 7 of 7: Prevention
How to Prevent Polio
The best way to prevent polio is to get vaccinated. Children should get polio shots according to the CDC vaccination schedule, shown below.Rarely, the shots can cause mild or severe allergic reactions, including:
- breathing problems
- high fever
- dizziness
- hives
- swelling of throat
- rapid heart rate
