WASHINGTON Herre Nike Air Presto Sko Gul Blå Tilbud , Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- The risk of a heart attack may be increased six-fold within the first week after detection of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection, a new study said Wednesday.
Researchers in Canada looked at nearly 20,000 Ontario adult cases of laboratory-confirmed influenza infection from 2009 to 2014 and identified 332 patients who were hospitalized for a heart attack within one year of flu diagnosis.
They found a significant association between acute respiratory infections, particularly flu, and acute myocardial infarction, according to the study published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The researchers also found elevated risk, albeit not as high as for flu, with infection from other respiratory viruses.
"Our findings are important because an association between influenza and acute myocardial infarction reinforces the importance of vaccination," said lead author Jeff Kwong, a scientist at the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (ICES) and Public Health Ontario (PHO).
"People at risk of heart disease should take precautions to prevent respiratory infections Herre Nike Air Presto Flyknit Ultra High Grå Udsalg , and especially influenza, through measures including vaccinations and handwashing," said Kwong.
The researchers added that patients should not delay medical evaluation for heart symptoms particularly within the first week of an acute respiratory infection.
SYDNEY, March 23 (Xinhua) -- A famous protest of Australian union workers against Japanese invasion of China and the atrocities they committed against the Chinese people has become the topic of a new Australian-made documentary released on the weekend.
"The Dalfram Dispute, 1938: Pig Iron Bob" tells the story of a group of Australian wharf workers who refused to load pig iron on board the steamship Dalfram, which was bound for Kobe Herre Nike Air Presto Sko Sort Tilbud , Japan because the materials were being used to make weapons used in Japan's war against China.
The incident led to a nine-week workers lockout and climaxed when the then Australian prime minister Robert Menzies came to the Wollongong port, south of Sydney, to sort out the strike. When Menzies arrived, protesters yelled out: "Pig Iron Bob," and the term became his nickname, and part of the title of the film.
Associate producer and current Australian union leader Arthur Rorris said the story reflects a bond between the Australian and Chinese people.
"There was the Chinese people suffering unimaginable suffering Herre Nike Air Presto QS Sko Sort Tilbud , acts of inhumanity and a community on the other side of the world, and the maritime workers of Port Kembla who took those courageous steps in standing themselves in the way, literally, being used to build an imperialist war machine," he said at the opening of the film on Saturday.
Wollongong Lord Mayor Gordon Bradbery said the people of his city played a major role in highlighting the atrocities committed by the Japanese against the Chinese in the late 1930s.
"Back in 1938 the people had compassionate concern for the people caught up in the dreadful situation where Japan invaded China," he said.
"There was a group of people down here in this very small country Nike Air Presto SE Woven Sko Hvid Udsalg , not in terms of geography but in terms of population. They had a conscience and responded, and more specifically those in the union movement at the time that took up the cause."
Producer and director Sandra Pires said the film features interviews with survivors of the Nanjing Massacre.
"The stories of the Nanjing survivors brought us to tears, but this film is about peace. The survivors said that if they could forgive the Japanese, anyone could," she said.
The film will tour Australia in the coming months and she hoped it would be screened in China in September this year.
BUDAPEST, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The UN refugee chief Filippo Grandi Tuesday criticized Hungary for the treatment of asylum seekers in the so-called transit zones at the southern border of the country.
At a press conference Grandi said "I don't call this transit Dame Nike Air Presto Sko Hvid Tilbud , I call this detention" following meetings with the Hungarian Minister of Interior, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, officials of the ministries and representatives of civil organizations working with refugees.
Besides the detention of the asylum seekers, which leads to great tension among people, Grandi mentioned two other problems: the limited access to the transit zones, that are limited to ten people per day Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Sko Rød Sort Danmark , and the low recognition rate of the asylum procedures, which is only of 25 percent, yet the majority of asylum seekers come from war-torn places such as Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq.
However, he called "decent" the material conditions provided for the asylum seekers in terms of food, shelter and medical care. He also welcomed the fact that asylum seekers under the age of 14 were transported in an open facility located in Fot (in the middle of Hungary) Dame Nike Air Max TN Sko Hvid Danmark , but asked the Hungarian government to extend this opportunity to those aged between 14 and 18.
He also said that "This visit in Hungary takes place in a context when call for international solidarity is broken," referring to the European Union's refugee relocation scheme, to which 3-4 EU Member States, including Hungary, are opposed.
But he had hopes to change the standpoint of Hungary in the future through talks.
Grandi said that he had constructive meetings with ministers of Interior and Foreign minister and their officials.
