2. Each year, malaria
kills about 2 million people; mostly
children and mostly in developing countries. Hopes are
pinned
on a vaccine because some strains of the
parasite have developed resistance to drug treatments
and mosquitoes are fighting back against traditional
insecticides.
3. A new study from the US National Cancer Institute in
Maryland says that eating cauliflower and broccoli twine
a week
can almost halve a man's chances of developing
an aggressive form of prostate cancer. Between them,
cauliflower can cut the
chances of developing the
cancer by 52 per cent, while broccoli
can reduce the risk
by as much as 45 per cent, say researchers.
4. There are
many causes of insomnia including stress,
environmental noise, extreme
temperature changes in
the surrounding environment, or medication side
effects. In many cases, insomnia
is caused by another
disease or psychological problem. In this case, medical
or psychological help
may be useful. Talk to your doctor
if you are
having trouble getting good, refreshing sleep
each night. Together you can identify possible reasons
for your sleeping difficulty and then try appropriate
measures to correct the problem.
5. Poor health infrastructure
is a common problem for
nearly all developing countries. Putting HIV-positive
people on drugs earlier
would significantly reduce the
cost to health systems of treating opportunistic
infections
– illnesses
which take hold while the immune
system is weak. It
would also greatly improve life
expectancy of HIV patients,
with repercussions for
families and the workforce
