Polio

Years before Jonas Salk's work, Dr. Albert Sabin developed a polio vaccine using live virus. The Sabin vaccine was used for 18 years before the government recommended using the Salk vaccine, exclusively.

because he will fight for himself against the german people

Because there is nothing wrong with being Jewish.

I was working as a Pharmacist at Wayne Apothecaries, a Detroit Professional Pharmacy, on the date that Poliomyelitis Vaccine first because available. That was April 18, 1952. So it was on that date or shortly thereafter that the first shot for Polio was given on the East side of Detroit.

Polio was one of the most dreaded childhood diseases of the 20th Century in the United States. There were usually about 13,000 to 20,000 cases of paralytic polio reported each year in the US before the introduction of Salk inactivated polio vaccine (IPV) in 1955. Polio peaked in 1952 when there were more than 21,000 reported cases. The number of cases of polio decreased dramatically following introduction of the vaccine and the development of a national vaccination program. In 1965, only 61 cases of paralytic polio were reported compared to 2,525 cases reported cases just five years earlier in 1960.

Dr. Jonas Salk created a vaccine for poliomytis or Polio. In 1954, Salk had done the biggest field trial ever recored in history. He did this experiment on over 1.8 million people. There was 2 vaccines. One was the vaccine that he has created and then the Placebo. Then he had a control group. He died on June 23, 1995. He was 80 years old when he died

After you have Poliomyelitis (Polio), you may end up with a long term effect. Paralize can happen and something called post polio syndrome. To learn more go to Poliointrouble.org to find out more. Im in college and graduating next so this is a right answer, not just something a hobo wrote. :)

He invented one of the polio vaccines. He did this in the mid-1050's.

Intensified Pulse Polio Program started in India in 1994 officially, but it was spread through out the country in 1995 with the main aim of eradicating polio by 2000 AD. According to it there is no need of giving oral polio vaccine to the children after 2000 AD. But this was not successful and so was extended up to 2005 with a vision of declaring India a polio free state by 2005. But this also failed. According to National Plan of Action 2005 developed by Department of women and child development 2007 the objective under child survival is to certify by 2007 the eradication of polio, which is not possible under present conditions with almost 1000 cases of polio being reported from different states of India.

Now more than ever : stop Polio forever

Prevent Birth defect

Kick Polio out of Africa

Patients with abortive polio infections recover completely. In those who develop only aseptic meningitis, the symptoms can be expected to persist for two to ten days, followed by complete recovery. In cases of spinal polio, if the affected nerve cells are completely destroyed, paralysis will be permanent; cells that are not destroyed, but lose function temporarily, may recover within four to six weeks after onset. Half the patients with spinal polio recover fully; 25% recover with mild disability, and the remaining quarter are left with severe disability. The degree of both acute paralysis and residual paralysis is likely to be proportional to the degree of viremia, and inversely proportional to the degree of immunity. Spinal polio is rarely fatal.

Without respiratory support, consequences of poliomyelitis with respiratory involvement include suffocation or pneumonia from aspiration of secretions. Overall, 5--10% of patients with paralytic polio die due to the paralysis of muscles used for breathing. The mortality rate varies by age: 2--5% of children and up to 15--30% of adults die. Bulbar polio often causes death if respiratory support is not provided; with support, its mortality rate ranges from 25 to 75%, depending on the age of the patient. When positive pressure ventilators are available, the mortality can be reduced to 15%.

He contracted polio in August 1921, while the Roosevelts were vacationing at Campobello Island, New Brunswick, Canada. He was 39 years old at the time. This diagnosis has since been questioned by experts reviewing F.D.R.'s medical history.

Franklin D. Roosevelt had polio.

On August 10, 1921 at the age of 39, Franklin D. Roosevelt was strickened with the first symptoms of Polio. However, modern scientists believe that was a misdiagnosis. For one thing, Polio was a childhood disease. Second, Polio does not start at the feet and gradually work its way up the legs like Mr. Roosevelt's ailment did. It is far more likely that FDR sufferred from Guillain-Barré syndrome, but there is currently no way to confirm that because at this time the only method for testing for Guillain-Barré syndrome requires a spinal tap. All of Pres. Roosevelt's spinal fluid dried up many years ago.

Actually, he was thought to have polio, but in 2003, scientist found that he didn't have polio, but a rare disease called Landry-Guillain-Barre syndrome, which acts almost like polio in the way that it tricks the immune system into attacking healthy cells in the nervous system, this is called autoimmune disorder.

No, you are thinking of Franklin D. Roosevelt! Although throughout his whole presidency he kept it a major secret from the public.

As a small child

He did indeed. It severely damaged his legs. He could stand up with special braces but he could not walk normally. He had a specially designed car the used hand levers instead of foot pedals. He tried to keep his condition hidden and was largely successful.

The influenza virus contains Both DNA and RNA.Its an exception.

1937

Yes it is harmful to people.

It depends on what part of the nervous system is infected by the polio virus. Though most people recovered quickly from polio, some suffered temporary or permanent paralysis and even death.

Many polio survivors were disabled for life. They were a visible, painful reminder to society of the enormous toll this disease took on young lives.

In about 95% of all polio cases, the person has no symptoms at all. These are known as asymptomatic cases.

The rest of polio cases can be divided into three types: abortive polio, non-paralytic polio, and paralytic polio.

Abortive polio: In these cases, polio is a mild illness, with viral-like symptoms such as fever, fatigue,

headache, sore throat, nausea, and diarrhea.

Non-paralytic polio: These cases typically involve the symptoms of abortive polio, with additional neurological symptoms, such as sensitivity to light and neck stiffness.

Paralytic polio: The first signs of paralytic polio, after an initial period of viral-like symptoms,

typically begin with loss of superficial reflexes and muscle pain or spasms. Paralysis, usually asymmetric, follows. Fewer than 1%-2% of people who contract polio become paralyzed. In most cases of paralytic polio, the patient recovers completely.

However, for a certain number of people, paralysis or muscle weakness remains for life.

1789 was when polio was first diagnosed!!!!

polio was found in 1789

There are 3 types of poliomyelitis (polio) infection:

1. Sub-clinical: does not affect the central nervous system and patients may not experience any symptoms

2. Non-paralytic: affects the central nervous system, produces mild symptoms, and does not result in paralysis

3. Paralytic: rarest and most serious and produces full or partial paralysis in the patient.

There are 3 types of paralytic polio:

1. spinal polio (affects the spine)

2. bulbar polio (affects the brainstem)

3. bulbospinal polio (affects the spine and brainstem)
