Dengue Fever: A Lethal Killer

Dengue fever is a lethal viral infection transmitted through biting of a particular type of mosquito known as “Aedes Aegypti”. The virus attacks blood cell, spleen, liver and results in a low white blood cell count and reduces the number of platelets (blood clotting components) in the body. Severe headache, high fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, body ache, loss of appetite, cough, sore throat are some of the symptoms of dengue fever. This fever usually lasts for 2 weeks.

Once diagnosed with this fever, careful steps should be taken as this fever can also result in death of the patient. High fever should be controlled by consuming paracetamol, avoiding the use of antibiotics as they would result in further decreasing the number of white blood cells and platelets in the patient’s body.

Precaution is better than cure, should be our motto for a healthier environment. Dengue is a fever that kills. It is transferred through stagnant water as well, so precautionary measures should be taken regarding this. Regular blood tests should be done in order to monitor the count of platelets and blood cells. Mosquito sprays should be done in dengue affected areas.

Bentham Science Publishers’ journal “Anti-Infective Agents” publishes original research, expert reviews, drug clinical trial studies and guest edited issues on all the latest and outstanding developments on the medicinal chemistry, biology, pharmacology and use of anti-infective and anti-parasitic agents. This Bentham Journal is a useful guide for all infectious disease researchers in industry, academia and the health services.

THE LEGACY OF JACK THE RIPPER

Jack the Ripper is counted amongst the most notorious criminals of the era. He had created havoc in the East London, where people used to fear with his name. He was a faceless outlaw, who led the London Police on their toes. Still to date, the officials are working on the criminal’s face and identity. His murders were spine-chilling.

He had the city of London verging on the edge of their seats because he murdered at least five prostitutes from August 7^th to September 10^th of 1888. The prostitutes were murdered within a mile of each other, their bodies were mutilated. The police had no clue of the criminal, but the confession letters which had been sent to the London Metropolitan Police Service (Scotland Yard) provided detailed explanation of the committed murders. The letters also disclosed the names of those people which he was planning for the future murder. Hundreds of men had been arrested as suspects, but were allowed to go because of lack of evidences.

The murders were very sadistic, giving the impression of an ill-minded person. The forensic department worked on the letters which they received, but, most of the letters were believed to be sent by those people who wanted to harass the Police department.

The case of Jack the Ripper is still under investigation by the Scotland Yard. Even after 125 years, the case is as faceless as Jack the Ripper himself.

Bentham Science Publishers is one of the leading STM Journal Publishers. They have a variety of journals and eBooks available. One of their e-books is “Jack the Writer: A Verbal & Visual Analysis of the Ripper Correspondence. To view the list of all Bentham e-books, visit:

Potential Impacts of Food Borne Illness

Food borne Illness is also known as food poisoning. Food poisoning occurs as a result of contaminated food intake which consists of parasites, viruses, bacteria and other toxins.

 These contaminants get inside your body through different resources and make you ill. One of the most common sources of contamination is the infected food handler. These handlers neither wash their hands properly nor wear gloves which is a big health concern. Dirty kitchenware and service utensils are another source of infectivity. The food should be cooked at hot enough temperature and stored in refrigerator at desired temperature to avoid food poisoning.

There are various STM Publishers. The name of Bentham Science Publishers is highly established within the STM publication industry. Bentham Science has various journals and e-books based on food, safety issues related to food and nutrition. To view all these Bentham Journals, visit:

The symptoms of food poisoning start to develop within 2 to 6 hours after eating the contaminated food. The most common symptoms of Food Poisoning include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, headaches and abdominal cramps.

Most of the food poisoning cases do not need any medical attention and you get recovery after few days of time. But in some cases, if proper safety measures are not taken, can result into severe worse conditions. Different safety measures should be taken in these cases to avoid making this condition even worse.

 You should drink plenty of water in order to overcome the fluid losses created by diarrhea and vomiting, avoid caffeinated beverages and dairy products, take light meals instead of heavy diet and get plenty of rest and sleep to help your body for a quick recovery.

Bentham eBook: Outcomes Assessment in End – Stage Kidney Disease Measurements and Applications in Clinical Practice

Bentham Science offers various e-books in all major areas of technology, natural science, humanities and medicine. eBooks at Bentham science are published by means of state-of-the-art internet technology.

Here is the review of the recent eBook of Bentham, “Outcomes Assessment in End – Stage Kidney Disease Measurements and Applications in Clinical Practice”.

With an increase of the population of elderly people in modern society due to advances in medicine and healthcare facilities, there is also an increase in the incidence and duration of chronic illnesses. Similarly, advanced age is considered a significant determinant of depression and poor quality of life. Additionally, the provision of therapies relevant to chronic diseases addresses the issues beyond the concept of cure, bringing to the center the need for a dignified quality of life of patients. An increased interest in the quality of life is observed in patients who suffer from chronic diseases, including those with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). End-stage kidney disease patients have a high burden of disease affecting their quality of life and dramatically shortening their life expectancy. Therefore, exploring quality of life issues among such patients becomes an essential task in the management of this population.

This volume is written by researchers with a well-rounded understanding of the characteristics and impact of ESKD and provides a penetrating practical discussion to date of alternative approaches for comprehensively measuring the burden of end-stage kidney disease.
