The Poliomelitis

The poliomelitis is an illness infecciosovírica that affect the children fundamentally, although with pettier frequency it also attacks the adults. You appear in epidemic buds in some countries and in form endemoepidémica in others. Such variances depend on the state inmunitario of a population in front of the infection for the virus of the poliomelitis.

This illness, you are caused by a virus that infect the organism through human-to-human transmissions or for via insinuation, when they act as vehicle the liquids that the man uses in your to live quotidian. These liquids, such as the water, the milk, among other, they can be infected by the own man or for waste waters that infect the conditions of drinking water. The human-to-human propagation of the virus through seemingly healthy individuals is explained by the following facts: the virus penetrates in the organism for via digestive and you nest in the pharynx and, especially, in the intestine, where you reproduce extraordinarily and you are deleted by means of the feces. You originate an illness of pharyngeal or digestive determinism, and only by one percent of the polluted ones it causes paralysis. In the remaining ones, the illness decreases to some bare anginas or an intestinal dysfunction that it cure spontaneously. The individual that have suffered this infection, is definitively immunized, because you have been formed in him a rate of enough antibodies to exercise an attestation and you activate protection. This status antigénica is the one that also believe the vaccination antipoliomielítica. The ingestion of repeated vaccine dose for virus inactivado believes a state of practically permanent defence. The inyeción of dead (bovine Salk) virus determines a reaction inmunitaria equally, although less active and durable than the vaccination for via oral type Sabin.

The contamination of a not vaccinated person, unchains an illness that begin clinically, after a period of incubation of 10 or 12 days, with anginas or digestive dysfunctions, accompanied by thermal slight elevation. In the forms non paralytics, the clinical box is reduced to this symptomatology, so not very characteristic. In the paralyzed forms they are added to the mentioned dysfunctions two clinical absolutely characteristic symptoms: fever (with elevations between 38 and 39º), and pain (localized in the extremities so much higher as inferior and you increase during the mobilization attempts) .Aparecen the espamos and muscle cramps, extremely painful and of progressive path. This period, called preparalítico, you are characterized by pain and fever whose duration is of 2 or 3 days and that you end in the paralyzed period, during which the muscular typical paralyses are set up that can affect to any muscle group, although preferably, to the inferior extremities. In occasions, the paralyzed muscles are the intercostal ones and others that have had made the pulmonary ventilation, with that which the calls respiratory forms of the infantile paralysis are constituted.

The path of the poliomelitis can be very desfavorabe, especially when the calls factors of graveness converge, among which it highlight for your importance, the respiratory form of the poliomelitis. Another factor of graveness is the participation of the cerebral trunk and still of the own encéfalo, in the process lesional.

The WolfMan

WolfMan is man's mixture and of wolf. Not it is that he has a part of their body of each one of these beings, but rather of a moment to another he passes of being a man common to a ferocious wolf, the same of a terror story. According to the legend, with the same speed the ferocious wolf transforms into man again, although it conserves features or prints of the moments in that it was wolf and it attacked, it killed and it destroyed all that crossed in his road. All will wonder why they transform into wolf, who they are those that possess this quality, if it is or not voluntary, among other polling. The truth is that the answers are very varied, but it is worth to clarify that there is who assure to know WolfMan's. They speak of their grandfather's neighbor, or of a son of the neighboring family that in certain festival nights or of full moon, he transformed, in beasts. It is said that there are certain features (as being very high, very low, too thin, or with the very exitted teeth, or the prominent eyeteeth) that indicate that the person could be a wolfman. Dozens of stories and beliefs boost the imagination of big and petty that don't take in counting to the even smaller ones on the terrible man wolf that watches...

Belief superstition or bare terror story, the certain thing is that the legend of the wolfman is counted in the whole world for hundred of years. It is more, the wolfman had its minute of glory, or rather, its time of gold. It was there for the XVI century. In France, for example, it was spoken that it existed kind of an epidemic of crimes caused by the wolfman (call there "loup garou"). For this lawsuit, and for the fear that invaded people every time that was spoken of the beast, more than 30.000 people that assured to become animals they were roasted alive, hung up or decapitated.

The certain thing is that the history of the wolfman is counted different it counts it to him according to where. Thousands of explanations have been assayed to be about understanding man's transformations in murderous beast. Among them it is said that a seventh male son of a family without daughters, wolfman is always born, and that although it grows without any signal that identifies it as beast, in the day fewer thought the boy it attacks. It is also said that a partnership agreement with the demon can cost who doesn't make it, to have to live the remainder of its life like wolfman. It is even commented that if they are carried out rituals in having determined dates it nails, something can come out bad and the witchdoctor to end transformed into wolfman. And until it is said that who drinks water of the puddle of where he drank a wolf, he transforms into wolfman.

These beliefs died down in the XIX century, when the reason seemed to win to the superstitions that you/they spoke of this beast, and the lobizón he only stayed I live in the literature and in the cinema. However, still today, in the nights of full moon, there is who revive the man's history that for an or another reason, he transforms into beast and it howls alerting the neighbors.
