[AlternativeAnswers] earthquakes - emotional problems they cause

And I don't live in quake-ravaged Haiti. In Canterbury, New Zealand,
there have been nearly 700 aftershocks since the original quake of 7.1
on the 4th Sept. We live about 20 km (12 miles) from the epicentre.
They are so shallow that we feel about half of them. We sustained
little damage to our small wooden house, but the sleepless or broken-
sleep nights that so many have experienced, as well as the heightened
adrenalin response is exhausting. Lots of people just breaking down
in tears from residual fear, exhaustion, not knowing what the future
brings, especially those who lived in the 5000+ homes which are now
uninhabitable, some are still w/o water, sewer and only intermittent
power. What can one do, in terms of diet, supplements, etc, to help
deal with the emotions, the not sleeping and the too-much adrenalin
floating around in our systems??

[AlternativeAnswers] Progress and obstacles in vaccine development for the ehrlichioses.

Expert Rev Vaccines. 2010 Sep;9(9):1071-82.

Progress and obstacles in vaccine development for the
ehrlichioses.

McBride JW, Walker DH.

Department of Pathology, Center for Emerging Infectious Diseases
and Biodefense, Sealy Center for Vaccine Development, and the
Institute for Human Infections and Immunity, University of Texas
Medical Branch, Galveston, TX 77555-0609, USA.

Ehrlichia are tick-borne obligately intracellular bacteria that
cause significant diseases in veterinary natural hosts, including
livestock and companion animals, and are now considered important
zoonotic pathogens in humans. Vaccines are needed for these
veterinary and zoonotic human pathogens, but many obstacles exist
that have impeded their development. These obstacles include
understanding genetic and antigenic variability, influence of the
host on the pathogen phenotype and immunogenicity, identification
of the ehrlichial antigens that stimulate protective immunity and
those that elicit immunopathology, development of animal models
that faithfully reflect the immune responses of the hosts and
understanding molecular host-pathogen interactions involved in
immune evasion or that may be blocked by the host immune
response.
We review the obstacles and progress in addressing barriers
associated with vaccine development to protect livestock,
companion animals and humans against these host defense-evasive
and cell function-manipulative, vector-transmitted pathogens.

[Neuroretinitis in cat scratch disease]

[Article in Polish]

Karolak J, Gotz-Wipckowska A.

Z Katedry i Kliniki Okulistyki Uniwersytetu Medycznego im. K.
Marcinkowskiego w Poznaniu. asia.karolak@gmail.com

PURPOSE: To present two cases of neuroretinitis in cat scratch
disease We present two girls treated in Department of
Ophthalmology of Poznai University of Medical Sciences because of
unilateral, painless decrease of vision. Both patients presented
following cat exposure fever and lymph nodes swelling.
Ophthalmoscopic findings was neuroretinitis (optic disc edema
with the macular star). Bartonella henselae antibody titers (IgG)
were elevated. CSD is usually self-limited infection in
immunocompetent patients and there is no clear treatment
recommendations. One of our patients received treatment which
included oral antibiotic (macrolides) and steroid. The second
patient was left without treatment. In our case--the duration of
visual loss was longer in patient who was not treated.
