“The world has ignored hepatitis at its peril. It is time to mobilise a global response to hepatitis on the scale similar to that generated to fight other communicable disease like HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis,” Margaret Chan, WHO’s director-general, said in a statement[i].[/i]

WHO lamented the situation, especially as there are at least 10 times more people living with hepatitis than with HIV.

Around the world, 400 million people are infected with Hepatitis B and C — more than 10 times the number of people living with HIV. An estimated 1.45 million people died of the disease in 2013 – up from less than a million in 1990.

Here are key facts to know about hepatitis

5 DIFFERENT KINDS

There are five different kinds of hepatitis: A,B,C,D,E. While there is an effective vaccine and treatment for Hepatitis B, none exists for C. However, there are oral medicines called direct-acting antivirals that can cure over 90 per cent of patients within 2–3 months.

HEPATITIS A


According to WHO “Hepatitis A is a viral liver disease that can cause mild to severe illness.

It is is transmitted through ingestion of contaminated food and water or through direct contact with an infectious person and most infection is as a result of poor sanitation and lack of water.

Clean water, improved hygiene and sanitation and food safety and the vaccine are the best to fight Hepatitis A.

Most people will recover from this and gain a lifelong immunity and there is a safe and effective vaccine to prevent Hepatitis A.

Very few people with hepatitis A could die from fulminant Hepatitis A.

HEPATITIS B

This is viral and attacks the liver, causing both acute and chronic disease. It is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. According to WHO, “an estimated 240 million people are chronically infected with Hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B surface antigen positive for at least 6 months)”.

This poses a threat to health workers and is an occupational hazard. With over 686 000 people dying every year due to complications of hepatitis B, including cirrhosis and liver cancer, WHO insists that countries, especially the sub-Saharan African countries, must dedicate more resources to fighting the disease.

There is, however, available safe and effective vaccine.


HEPATITIS C

This also attacks the liver and can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis infection — severe, mild and lasting from a few weeks to forever.

It is “a bloodborne virus” and is mostly transmitted through “through unsafe injection practices, inadequate sterilization of medical equipment, and the transfusion of unscreened blood and blood products, WHO says.

There are currently about 130–150 million people globally have chronic hepatitis C infection. Hepatitis B kills more people that hepatitis B with over 700 000 people dying yearly from related liver disease.

WHO says while antiviral medicines can cure up to 90% of hepatitis carriers, access to diagnosis and treatment is low. Currently, there is no vaccine for hepatitis C.

HEPATITIS D


Like hepatitis B, the virus is transmitted through contact with the blood or other body fluids of an infected person. Transmission from mother to child is rare. Hepatitis D can be prevented by getting hepatitis B vaccines as there is no antiviral treatment for this. According to WHO, 15 million people across the world are chronically coinfected with HDV and HBV .

HEPATITIS E

This is also a liver disease caused by infection with a virus known as hepatitis E virus (HEV) and there are “an estimated 20 million HEV infections worldwide, leading to an estimated 3.3 million symptomatic cases of hepatitis E1, and 56 600 hepatitis E-related deathS”, WHO explains

It can develop into acute liver failure and is transmitted the “faecal-oral route” mostly through dirty water.

There is a vaccine for this. It was developed in China and has been licensed in only that country.

What if we converted our dreams into plans and our plans into refined activities that would lead toward the achievement of our goals?


What if we converted our dreams into plans and our plans into refined activities that would lead toward the achievement of our goals?



If we have a sincere desire for progress, then we are compelled to find every possible means to implement all that we know and feel. We must find ways to demonstrate on the outside all of the value that we possess on the inside. Otherwise, our values will remain unappreciated and our talents unrewarded.

Why some people fail and others succeed can be baffling. Sometimes it may even seem unfair. We all know people who have a good education, the right attitude and a sincere desire to make something of themselves. They are good parents, honest employees and loyal friends. Yet despite their knowledge, feelings and desires, they continue to lead lives of quiet desperation. They should have so much more than they do, but they seem to receive so little.

Then there are those who always seem to receive so much and yet merit so little. They have no education. They have a poor attitude about themselves and other people, and are often dishonest and unethical. The only thing they seem to share in common with those who should do well but do so poorly is a sincere desire to get ahead. Despite their lack of virtues, knowledge and appreciation, these people often seem to come out on top.

Why is it that some good people seem to have so little while the dishonest seem to have so much? Why is it that the drug dealers and the mob members and the criminal element in our society are driving Rolls-Royces while many are struggling to make the payments on their inexpensive compacts? If our desire to succeed is as strong as theirs, and if we have the added virtues of philosophical refinement and emotional sophistication, why are we not all doing better than they are?
[i]

The answer might well be that we do not work at achieving our goals, and they do. We do not take all that we are to the marketplace and put it to work. They do. We do not stay up late at night developing new plans to achieve our dreams and work hard day after day to make those dreams a reality. They do. We do not learn all that we possibly can about our industry and our markets. They do. We do not make every effort to get around the right sources of influence, to associate with those people who can help us to achieve our goals. They do. While we are dreaming about the promise of the future, they are doing something about it. Granted, they might be doing the wrong things, but they are doing consistently and with an intensity and a level of commitment that would put many of us to shame.

Evil always rushes in to fill the void created by the absence of good. The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing, and unfortunately, that is what too many good people choose to do. It is our lack of intense, disciplined activity that has allowed evil to flourish and good men to flounder. If life does not seem fair sometimes, we have no one to blame but ourselves.

Imagine how different our world would be if we made a commitment right now to put into action all that we currently are, wherever we currently are, and with whatever we currently have. What if we all gave 100 percent to our jobs, families and communities? What if, starting right now, we began to read the books, replace errors with disciplines and associate with people who have stimulating ideas? What if, starting right now, we converted our dreams into plans and our plans into refined activities that would lead toward the achievement of our goals? What an incredible different we could make! In no time at all we would have evil on the run and good would be rushing in to recapture its rightful place. What a life we could then share with our families—a life filled with challenge, excitement and achievement. And what an inheritance we could leave to the next generation—a wealth of virtue, integrity and substance with which to build a whole new world, and all because we cared enough to do something with our lives and to put our skills and talents to work.

1. Get up early.
Unless you’re a morning person, getting up earlier than usual can take you way out of your comfort zone. However, if you get up well before you have to start getting ready for work, it’s worth it. It gives you an opportunity to collect your thoughts and mentally prepare yourself for the day ahead, rather than just dashing from one activity to another. It also gives you the opportunity to eat a good breakfast and exercise, both of which have well-known health benefits.

2. Accomplish an “impossible” goal.
Few things compare to the exhilaration of accomplishing something that you didn’t think you were capable of. These achievements fall so far outside of your comfort zone that they seem impossible. Maybe it’s running a marathon or giving a keynote speech at a convention. These accomplishments are worth every bit of suffering you endure to achieve them because once you finally do it, you feel invincible and carry that triumph with you forever.

3. Meditate.
It’s easy to get stuck in your comfort zone when you’re so busy that you don’t slow down enough to really think about what you’re doing and why you’re doing it. Meditation is a great way to break this cycle and also happens to be very good for your brain. Harvard neuroscientist Sara Lazar found that meditation creates important physical changes in your brain. It increases brain density in areas responsible for self-control, focus, problem-solving, flexibility and resilience. Best of all, these changes are lasting.

4.Focus on one thing at a time.
Focusing completely on a single task is a big risk -- the risk of failing at something to which you’ve given your all. That’s why it’s so uncomfortable. The alternative -- multitasking -- is a real productivity killer. Research conducted at Stanford confirms that multitasking is less productive than doing a single thing at a time. The researchers found that people who are regularly bombarded with several streams of electronic information cannot pay attention, recall information or switch from one job to another as well as those who complete one task at a time. When you try to do two things at once, your brain lacks the capacity to perform both tasks successfully. When you spread yourself too thin and chase after every bright, shiny thing that catches your eye, you’re missing out on an important opportunity for personal growth.



5. Volunteer.
It would be great if everyone volunteered for purely altruistic reasons, but we all have demands on our time and have to set priorities. The problem is that after a long workday, volunteering can get pushed down somewhere below watching “epic fail” videos on YouTube. Volunteering is a powerful experience that feels good and expands your network at the same time. Have you ever met anyone who made volunteering a priority and wasn’t changed for the better by the experience? Neither have I.

6. Practice public speaking.
You’ve likely heard that the majority of people fear public speaking more than death. In fact, 74 percent of Americans have glossophobia (the fancy word for a fear of public speaking). So, yes, it’s a challenge. It’s also worth it. Whether you’re addressing five people around a table or an audience of five thousand, becoming a better public speaker can be a huge boon to your career.

7. Talk to someone you don’t know.
Unless you’re an extreme extrovert -- or a politician -- talking to new people probably makes you at least somewhat uncomfortable. Do it anyway. Social interaction is good for your mood (even when you don’t like it), expands your network, exposes you to new ideas and boosts your self-confidence.

8. Bite your tongue.
Sure, it can feel so good to unload on somebody and let them know what you really think, but that good feeling is temporary. What happens the next day, the next week or the next year? It’s human nature to want to prove that you’re right, but it’s rarely effective. In conflict, unchecked emotion makes you dig your heels in and fight the kind of battle that can leave you and the relationship severely damaged. When you read and respond to your emotions, you’re able to choose your battles wisely and only stand your ground when the time is right. The vast majority of the time, that means biting your tongue.

9. Say no.
Research conducted at the University of California, San Francisco, showed that the more difficulty that you have saying no, the more likely you are to experience stress, burnout and even depression. Saying no is indeed a major challenge for many people. No is a powerful word that you should not be afraid to wield. When it’s time to say no, avoid phrases such as I don’t think I can or I’m not certain. Saying no to a new commitment honors your existing commitments and gives you the opportunity to successfully fulfill them. When you learn to say no, you free yourself from unnecessary constraints and free up your time and energy for the important things in life.

10. Quit putting things off.
Change is hard. Self-improvement is hard. Scrounging up the guts to go for what you want is hard, and so is the work to make it happen. When things are hard, it’s always easier to decide to tackle them tomorrow. The problem is that tomorrow never comes. Saying you’ll do it tomorrow is just an excuse, and it means that either you don’t really want to do it or that you want the results without the hard work that comes along with it.
