Yellow Fever and the Emotional Consequences of Untreatable Epidemic Disease
This is an EJBM Online First article published ahead of the final print article on January 1, 2015. The final version of this article will be available at www.einstein.yu.edu/ejbm. HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Yellow Fever and the Emotional Consequences of Untreatable Epidemic Disease John S Runge, BA1 ¹Department of Genetics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC. ABSTRACT Yellow fever terrorized communities in tropical and urban settings during its height in the nineteenth century American South. Carried by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes that breed in stagnant water collections, the virus infects humans with fervor and is most known for its symptoms of jaundice and vomito negro, a dark vomit of coagulated blood. During the near-annual outbreaks of yellow fever, caregivers struggled to cope with the emotional consequences of failing medicine, sometimes leaving behind clues to their confusion in treating the disease and offering salient reflections on their inadequacies. As the disease ravaged through the Gulf region for decades, health worker futility can be traced to questions of what to do for others and what to do for oneself, offering a new perspective in yellow fever scholarship and insight to contemporary clinical practice and research. INTRODUCTION Epidemic diseases often arise quickly, infect indiscriminately, and frustratingly persist. Once present, epidemic diseases can exist for years as untreatable medical and scientific quandaries. These threats to health may eventually be overcome, but only after years of scientific research, evolutions in disease theory, successful experimental therapeutics, and effective distribution of curatives. The process is long and formidable.

Medical Messiahs: African American Women in Mississippi Medicine, 1900-1940 Ashford Evan Howard* College at Oneonta, State University of New York, USA Introduction Mississippi is a predominately rural state, with few Clark Hine referenced in her work; however, focusing on the metropolitan centers. During the slave era, it was one of two racial and gender barriers overshadows the role African states whose population consisted of slave majority. In 1850, American women medical practitioners played providing there were 309,878 slaves including 154,626 female slaves health services to the people of their race.

Hurricane & Tropical Storm
5.8 HURRICANE & TROPICAL STORM SECTION 5.8 HURRICANE AND TROPICAL STORM 5.8.1 HAZARD DESCRIPTION A tropical cyclone is a rotating, organized system of clouds and thunderstorms that originates over tropical or sub-tropical waters and has a closed low-level circulation. Tropical depressions, tropical storms, and hurricanes are all considered tropical cyclones. These storms rotate counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere around the center and are accompanied by heavy rain and strong winds (NOAA, 2013). Almost all tropical storms and hurricanes in the Atlantic basin (which includes the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea) form between June 1 and November 30 (hurricane season). August and September are peak months for hurricane development. The average wind speeds for tropical storms and hurricanes are listed below: . A tropical depression has a maximum sustained wind speeds of 38 miles per hour (mph) or less . A tropical storm has maximum sustained wind speeds of 39 to 73 mph . A hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 74 mph or higher. In the western North Pacific, hurricanes are called typhoons; similar storms in the Indian Ocean and South Pacific Ocean are called cyclones. A major hurricane has maximum sustained wind speeds of 111 mph or higher (NOAA, 2013). Over a two-year period, the United States coastline is struck by an average of three hurricanes, one of which is classified as a major hurricane. Hurricanes, tropical storms, and tropical depressions may pose a threat to life and property. These storms bring heavy rain, storm surge and flooding (NOAA, 2013). The cooler waters off the coast of New Jersey can serve to diminish the energy of storms that have traveled up the eastern seaboard.

ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005
MARCH 2008 ANNUAL SUMMARY 1109 ANNUAL SUMMARY Atlantic Hurricane Season of 2005 JOHN L. BEVEN II, LIXION A. AVILA,ERIC S. BLAKE,DANIEL P. BROWN,JAMES L. FRANKLIN, RICHARD D. KNABB,RICHARD J. PASCH,JAMIE R. RHOME, AND STACY R. STEWART Tropical Prediction Center, NOAA/NWS/National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida (Manuscript received 2 November 2006, in final form 30 April 2007) ABSTRACT The 2005 Atlantic hurricane season was the most active of record. Twenty-eight storms occurred, includ- ing 27 tropical storms and one subtropical storm. Fifteen of the storms became hurricanes, and seven of these became major hurricanes. Additionally, there were two tropical depressions and one subtropical depression. Numerous records for single-season activity were set, including most storms, most hurricanes, and highest accumulated cyclone energy index. Five hurricanes and two tropical storms made landfall in the United States, including four major hurricanes. Eight other cyclones made landfall elsewhere in the basin, and five systems that did not make landfall nonetheless impacted land areas. The 2005 storms directly caused nearly 1700 deaths. This includes approximately 1500 in the United States from Hurricane Katrina— the deadliest U.S. hurricane since 1928. The storms also caused well over $100 billion in damages in the United States alone, making 2005 the costliest hurricane season of record. 1. Introduction intervals for all tropical and subtropical cyclones with intensities of 34 kt or greater; Bell et al. 2000), the 2005 By almost all standards of measure, the 2005 Atlantic season had a record value of about 256% of the long- hurricane season was the most active of record.

However, there have been few studies evaluating the simulated water levels and storm surge during a landfalling hurricane event over NYC-Long Island as well as verifying real-time storm surge forecasting systems for NYC-Long Island over a cool season. Hurricane Gloria was simulated using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) V2.1 model, in which different planetary boundary layer (PBL) and microphysics schemes were used to create an ensemble of hurricane landfalls over Long Island.

The yellow fever epidemic of 1853 in New Orleans was one of the worst epidemics in the history of the United States of America, and it inspired important changes in the city's medical, social, and political practices, both locally and nationally.

Hurricane Season04.Pub
Carolina Sky Watcher NOAA has been issuing hurricane seasonal for the last six years and they have been very accurate. They are based on NOAA's Accumulated Cyclone Energy – or ACE –Index. The ACE index measures the collective strength and duration of tropical storms and hurricanes in a given region. It has proven to be highly predict- able and is a key forecast parameter for NOAA hurricane outlooks. National Weather Service, Newport, NC Vol. 11, Number 2 (#39) Jun 1, 2004 - Nov 30, 2004 For 2004, NOAA predicts an above normal hurricane season. The outlook calls for * 12-15 tropical storms * 6-8 becoming hurricanes – 2004 at least 74 mph winds * 2-4 becoming major Hurricane hurricanes (Categories 3- 5) – at least 115 mph winds.

Media and Climate Change Observatory, University of Colorado Boulder http://mecco.colorado.edu Media and Climate Change Observatory, University of Colorado Boulder 1 MeCCO SPECIAL ISSUE 2020 A Review of Media Coverage of Climate Change and Global Warming in 2020 At the global level, 2020 media attention dropped 23% from 2019. Nonetheless, this level of coverage was still up 34% compared to 2018, 41% higher than 2017, 38% higher than 2016 and still 24% up from 2015. In fact, 2020 ranks second in terms of the amount of coverage of climate change or global warming (behind 2019) since our monitoring began 17 years ago in 2004.
