What Is Diarrhea? What Causes Diarrhea?
Diarrhea is the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. Acute diarrhea, which is a common cause of death in developing countries, appears rapidly and may last from five to ten days. Chronic diarrhea lasts much longer and is the second cause of childhood death in the developing world. Diarrhea is sometimes accompanied by abdominal cramps or fever. It may be caused by infection, allergy, or could be a sign of a serious disorder, such as IBD (inflammatory bowel disease), or Crohn"s disease.

Reducing Gasoline Emissions Will Benefit Human Health
President Barack Obama and Energy Secretary Steve Chu are consistent in their message that when it comes to transportation fuels, carbon-neutral biofuels as an alternative to gasoline are coming. While the focus of a shift from gasoline to biofuels has been on global warming, such a shift could also impact human health. A grant from the Energy Biosciences Institute (EBI) has produced a novel and comprehensive "Life Cycle Impact Assessment" to measure the benefits on human health that might result from a switch to biofuels. Although there are a number of uncertainties that must be addressed for a more accurate picture, these early results show that a biofuel eliminating even 10-percent of current gasoline pollutant emissions would have a substantial impact on human health in this country, especially in urban areas.

Diabetes UK Showcases User Involvement Initiative At Healthcare Innovation Expo

Diabetes UK will attend the prestigious Innovation Expo at London"s ExCeL on 18 to 19 June. In June 2008, Lord Darzi published the Next Stage Review which identified the need to accelerate the adoption and diffusion of innovation across the NHS. As a result, the Expo will help encourage and inspire delegates who have influence in the NHS to interact with the latest innovative thinking, evidence and best practice. David Jones, User Involvement Manager at Diabetes UK and speaker at the event, said: "This is a great opportunity to show case the importance of user involvement, putting people with diabetes at the heart of decision making about the services they receive. We work with NHS partners nationally, regionally and in local NHS organisations to help build robust user involvement systems to ensure that people are involved in the decisions that affect them." "Diabetes UK has developed a series of innovative partnerships with the NHS to deliver this work. Our seminar will focus on the things that can help you get involvement happening locally, the practical approaches we have taken to deliver projects and the successes and lessons learned." Diabetes UK is also exhibiting in the main hall showcasing how its services can benefit the NHS. For more information about the Expo, visit here. Diabetes UK
