LONDON -- Patients with monkeypox in the UK have noticeably different symptoms from those seen in previous outbreaks, according to researchers in London, raising concerns cases are being missed. Patients reported less fever and tiredness and more skin lesions in their genital and anal areas than typically seen in monkeypox, the study of 54 patients at London sexual health clinics in May this year found. Monkeypox, a usually relatively mild viral illness that is endemic in several countries in western and central Africa, has caused more than 5,000 cases and one death outside those areas – mainly in Europe – since early May. Cases have also risen in the countries where it more usually spreads, according to the World Health Organization. The research from London, published in the Lancet Infectious Diseases Journal , follows suggestions from public health bodies like the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the outbreak - which is spreading chiefly among … [Read more...] about Monkeypox symptoms differ from previous outbreaks – UK study

A group of Vietnamese people managed to rescue a 17-year-old boy from southern Vietnam more than three months after he was sold to Cambodia and forced to work for a Chinese online gambling racket. Le Hoang Quoc C., 17, was taken back to his hometown in southern An Giang Province on June 30, Le Hoang Bao – C.’s 41-year-old father – told Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Saturday. C. is currently staying at home with his parents, but he is still traumatized by the incident, Bao continued. “The boy rarely talks and still looks afraid so we don’t want to ask him too many questions at the moment," the father said. In March, a friend of C.’s on social media tricked him into going to Cambodia to work as an accountant for VND25 million (US$1,020) a month, a handsome amount by local standards. The boy was then sold to Cambodia by an illegal racket and forced to work for a Chinese-run online casino, Bao stated. On June 13, C. contacted his father and said he wanted to go home, but his … [Read more...] about Compatriots rescue Vietnamese teen sold to Cambodia

Any foreigner who can unscramble the rich tapestry of the Vietnamese language deserves the keys to the city, a Nobel Prize, a Golden Buzzer from Simon, and, while we’re at it, let’s toss in an honorary ambassadorship. The plethora of homonyms, at least to the Western ear, is an exciting feature, as there is nothing more catastrophic than calling someone a horse’s ass when you simply want to wish them a nice day. It’s not as if the language had a few ups and downs here and there as does every tongue, but conveying even the simplest sentiments can be precarious. How about the infamous ‘em yêu anh, anh yêu em, em thương anh’ and ‘anh thương em” jigsaw puzzle? It’s damn good that most people know ‘I love you’ in English, for sorting the ‘em’s’ from the ‘anh’s’ and the north from the south is quite a hurdle. Let’s look at personal pronouns in Vietnamese because addressing people is the first and most basic step in any relationship, thus a logical starting point. That innocent … [Read more...] about Vietnamese language torture
