EAGLES EYE UPDATE

CDC has not issued a dengue-related Travel Alert for Thailand The Dengue Fever outbreak in Thailand continues to impact 77 provinces and has now been confirmed in 31,708 cases. This National Disease Surveillance ( Report #506) , published by the Thailand Bureau of Epidemiology, reflects a 24 percent increase in just 4 weeks. Dengue viruses are spread by the bite of the "Aedes aegypti" mosquitoes and transmitted to the human body.  Dengue  is not contagious, which means it cannot be passed from one person to another. The incidence of dengue has grown dramatically with 40 percent of the world's population now at risk from dengue, says the CDC.

He said having failed to take advantage of the seven days he gave them, he had

Or maybe even when you realise that your new colleague is the baby you looked after 28 years ago - I mean, what are the chances? That's exactly what happened to neonatal nurse, Vilma Wong who once treated her co-worker, Dr Brandon Seminatore, 28. Vilma, 54, has been a  NICU nurse  for 32 years and four short years into her career was when she first met Brandon who was born at 29 weeks in April 1990. No one could really blame him for having his favourites in work now, could they? Brandon, who is completing his residency at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital in Palo Alto, California, was treated in the hospital's NICU for over a month because he was so premature. Vilma, of  Fremont, California , immediately recognised Brandon's name after the pair began working together earlier this month, but co
