Perinatal swine flu: a short summary on the present emerging disease
No full textSwine flu is an emerging viral infection that is a present global public health problem. There are many thousands cases of swine flu in the present day. The infection among specific groups of population is interesting. In this specific brief review, the author hereby briefly summarizes and discusses on perinatal swine flu
Google Trends relacionado a la influenza
Get PDFThe recent paper on Using Google Trends (GT) to Estimate the Incidence of Influenza-Like Illness in Argentina 1 is very interesting. Orellano et al. studied Google Flu Trends (GFT) and GT with a conclusion regarding “the utility of GT to complement influenza surveillance”. Indeed, the usefulness of GFT and GT has been mentioned in some earlier reports 2,3. However, as a computational model, there are several things to be considered in the simulation 4. Under- or over-estimation can be expected and this is still the present problem in using the Google system for predicting influenza 4. There is a need for modifications of GT and GFT into a more specific tool that is appropriate for each context. A good example of this is the development of FluBreaks by Pervaiz et al.Fil: Wiwanitkit, Viroj. Wiwanitkit House; Tailandia. Surin Rajabhat University; Tailandia.

Alcoholic consumption behavior and death due to swine flu
No full textAbstractSwine flu is still an important public health consideration. This respiratory infection can cause severe illness and death in cases with underlying disease. Alcoholic consumption behavior is an important underlying disease that is widely discussed for its clinical correlation with the disease severity in swine flu. In this brief review, the author summarizes and discusses alcoholic consumption behavior and death due to swine flu
Single amino acid substitution in important hemoglobinopathies does not disturb molecular function and biological process
No full textViroj WiwanitkitDepartment of Laboratory Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok, ThailandAbstract: Hemoglobin is an important protein found in the red cells of many animals. In humans, the hemoglobin is mainly distributed in the red blood cell. Single amino acid substitution is the main pathogenesis of most hemoglobin disorders. Here, the author used a new gene ontology technology to predict the molecular function and biological process of four important hemoglobin disorders with single substitution. The four studied important abnormal hemoglobins (Hb) with single substitution included Hb S, Hb E, Hb C, and Hb J-Baltimore. Using the GoFigure server, the molecular function and biological process in normal and abnormal hemoglobins was predicted. Compared with normal hemoglobin, all studied abnormal hemoglobins had the same function and biological process. This indicated that the overall function of oxygen transportation is not disturbed in the studied hemoglobin disorders. Clinical findings of oxygen depletion in abnormal hemoglobin should therefore be due to the other processes rather than genomics, proteomics, and expression levels.Keywords: hemoglobin, amino acid, substitution, functio
