No Known Connection Between Childhood Abuse And Lupus
In recent news reports, there was a statement made that abuse experienced as a child can later lead to the development of autoimmune diseases, including lupus. There is no scientific evidence to support this statement, either in humans or animal models of lupus. Stress is sometimes listed as a "trigger" for a lupus flare in a patient that has lupus. Even this hypothesis is only supported by anecdotal data and not a well defined clinical study. There is clearly a connection between the immune system and the nervous system. Stress can induce a number of physiologic changes that can last for varying periods of time. To suggest, however, that child abuse is an accepted cause of lupus is inaccurate and unsupportable until there is clear data linking childhood abuse with later development of lupus.

Ghana Launches Public-Private Partnership To Control Malaria

Ghana"s Ministry of Health recently launched the Nationwide Mosquito Control Programme (NAMCOP) in conjunction with the waste management company Zoomlion Ghana Limited, the Ghanaian Chronicle/allAfrica.com reports (Akweetey, Ghanaian Chronicle/allAfrica.com, 6/19). George Sipa Yankey, Ghana"s health minister, said the government is committed to eliminating malaria and that the initiative will be part of a sustained effort so that Ghana can be the first country in West African to eliminate the disease. He said the government also plans to help the region by transferring local malaria elimination skills to other countries in West Africa. Yankey said NAMCOP will include indoor and outdoor residual spraying of households and boarding schools, intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women and the distribution of insecticide-treated nets (Amankwah, Public Agenda/allAfrica.com, 6/19). Alhaji Habib Mohammed Ziblim, the coordinator of Zoomlion in charge of NAMCOP, said the company would aim to control the mosquito population to prevent mosquito-transmitted diseases such as malaria, as well as filariasis, yellow fever and viral hemorrhagic fever. Ziblim said Zoomlion would clean drains and de-silt them to prevent stagnant water - a breeding ground for mosquitoes - from accumulating. In addition, the company will clear bushes, domestic garbage and spray existing stagnant water. He said for the project Zoomlion had acquired 500,000 spraying machines, 300 motorbikes, 30 trucks, insecticides and other related equipment (Ghanaian Chronicle/allAfrica.com, 6/19).
