National Immunization Awareness Month is important

National Immunization Awareness Month is important to observe the role of vaccination for people of all ages.

❓How to achieve immunization?
Immunization is the process by which a person becomes protected against a disease through vaccination.💉
Vaccines are a preparation used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases, they are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose. 👃🏻
Immunization is the achievement of a total protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected.

🔎 How to observe National Immunization Month?
• Call your doctor 🧑🏻‍⚕️👩🏻‍⚕️The only way to be absolutely certain about what vaccinations you’ve received is to gather your medical records.
• Encourage friends to do the same.
Just because you feel healthy doesn't mean you don't need to be vaccinated. Unlike most medicines, which treat or cure diseases, vaccines prevent them.
• Know your family history.🧐
A family medical history can reveal the history of disease in your family and help a doctor identify patterns that might be relevant to your own health.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a psychoactive chemical in the Cannabis sativa plant, also known as cannabis or hemp.💨

Research about the full potential of CBD (and cannabis in general) is still far form complete😬. So far, we know that CBD is a proven treatment when it comes to certain types of epilepsy, and early research is showing promise in regards to various anxiety disorders and other conditions. 😻

🔎Did you know?
The use of cannabis as a mind-altering drug has been documented in prehistoric societies in Eurasia and Africa.

📆July 28 is world’s hepatitis awareness day,

📆July 28 is world’s hepatitis awareness day, commemorated to enhance awareness of viral hepatitis.

🦠Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver, usually caused by a viral infection. There are five main hepatitis viruses: A, B, C, D and E, with the first three being the most widespread.

The effects of the viruses vary depending on the type: symptoms are generally milder in #hepatitisA (fever, loss of appetite, diarrhoea), while #hepatitisB can cause chronic liver disease and cancer, and #hepatitisC can develop both chronic and acute liver infections.

Each virus has also a unique way of spreading: hepatitis A can be spread through contaminated water💧 and food🥖, while hepatitis B is usually transmitted from mother to child at birth or through exposure to infected blood🩸, just as hepatitis C.

🧼Good hygiene is sufficient to prevent the diseases: that’s why it’s important to invest in improving hygiene conditions in less developed countries.
Vaccines have also been developed for type A and B.

👀Awareness is fundamental: given that most of the new infections are asymptomatic, early testing is important to prevent spreading.

📌July is International Group B Strep Awareness

📌July is International Group B Strep Awareness Month! The goal is to further raise awareness of the potential harm this type of bacteria can cause babies before, during, and after birth. In fact when it affects pregnant women, it could spread to the baby (about 1 in 1,750 pregnancies).

🤰🏽Most of the time babies will be born safely and will not develop an infection. However, it can rarely cause serious infection such as sepsis, pneumonia or meningitis.

🧫Nowadays it is standard of care in several countries for all pregnant women to be routinely tested for GBS with a vaginal/rectal swab test during the 36th or 37th week during each pregnancy.

🩺If GBS is found in urine, vagina or rectum during pregnancy, pregnant women should be offered antibiotics in labour to reduce the small risk of infection to the baby.

We need your help!

These days more and more international students are applying for Italian universities, and one of the major problems they face is the language barrier. In order to solve this, EMSA is planning multiple projects that can help improve the Italian language, or at least give the bases for everyday life.

🖊 We are asking for your help, and a few minutes of your time.

💡 By answering our questionnaire you could give us an idea on how to direct our projects. It is not necessary to be an international student to answer it, anyone who is interested in learning new languages could help us address the idea of teaching/studying foreign languages.

🗒 The link to the questionnaire is in our bio.

Thank you in advance!
