Norovirus - Symptoms Solutions...

Lilly Richardsen

Norovirus, often referred to as the "Norwalk virus," is a highly contagious virus that causes gastroenteritis, characterized by inflammation of the stomach and intestines. It is recognized as the leading cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide, responsible for outbreaks in various settings such as households, healthcare facilities, schools, and cruise ships. Despite its relatively small size, Norovirus has a remarkable ability to spread rapidly, making it a significant public health concern.
The virus was first identified in 1972 after an outbreak in Norwalk, Ohio, which is where it received its name. Since then, Norovirus has been found to be the primary culprit behind seasonal outbreaks of stomach flu. It is estimated that millions of people are infected with Norovirus each year, leading to a considerable number of hospitalizations and, in severe cases, deaths, particularly among vulnerable populations such as the elderly, young children, and those with weakened immune systems.
One of the most notable features of Norovirus is its resilience. The virus can survive on surfaces for extended periods and is resistant to many common disinfectants, which contributes to its ease of transmission. The primary mode of transmission is through the fecal-oral route, either by consuming contaminated food or water or by coming into contact with infected surfaces or people. Additionally, person-to-person transmission is highly efficient, especially in confined spaces where individuals are in close contact, such as healthcare facilities, schools, and cruise ships.

Things That Go Bump in the...

C. Renee James

The violent birth of the universe was only the first bang of a very bumpy ride. This unfathomably cacophonous beginning has spawned blasts, implosions, cosmic cannibalism, collisions, and countless other fleeting energetic events punctuating the cosmos. Although often brief, these transient phenomena pack a powerful punch. 
 
 
 
In Things That Go Bump in the Universe, astronomer and science writer C. Renée James introduces us to her colleagues around the world, who are using pioneering research techniques to explore everything from the very first explosions in the universe to the dark energy that could destroy it all. James describes the history of transient astronomy, how the universe presents itself through various astronomical messengers, and the unexpected connections between different phenomena. James explains a different category of transient event in each chapter, using easy-to-understand metaphors and stories to explain the science behind these awe-inspiring, cosmological encounters. 
 
 
 
Things That Go Bump in the Universe explores the incredible discoveries being made in this revolutionary field, the tools used to detect cosmic events, and the astronomical mysteries that continue to puzzle observers and theorists. James weaves together the stories of our turbulent universe and the people who are trying to make sense of it.
