What's New Delivering Information for the Eyes, Ears, and Mind Island of Shadows Country Available: USA, Canada Throughout history, there are tragic stories. Island of Shadows presents one such tragedy, rooted in racism, fueled by panic over a feared disease and prolonged by the squabbling of politicians. This is the story of the D'Arcy Island Leper Colony: 1891-1924. During these years, D'Arcy Island was the desolate home for handful of men and one woman who were left there to die. A row of shacks made of unplastered, thin unpainted wood provided meager shelter for the outcasts of society. There were never more than nine men on the island, and at times a single man was left alone for up to fifteen months. Though Leprosy (Hansens Disease) is crippling in its later stages no one was left to care for the afflicted. Their only contact with the outside world was a supply ship that came every three months to drop off food, clothing, opium and coffins. Medical and Sanitary officers on these supply ships reported that conditions were deplorable, yet for years nothing was done. Why? They had leprosy, they were Chinese and no government would take responsibility. Island of Shadows is a forty-eight minute documentary that tells the story of D'Arcy Island from its inception until its demise. The production examines the factors contributing to its creation and the inhuman treatment of the Chinese that were banished there.

65. Leprosy: Dreaded Disease The word leprosy has, in fact, such a negative connotation to it thatthe ancient disease has been given a new name hansens disease. http://msms.essortment.com/ldiseaseeprosy_oez.htm

Leprosy: dreaded disease Learn what can be done about the dreaded disease leprosy. Leprosy the very word raises fears in many peoples minds. It is a disease that has long been associated with uncleanness, with ostracism, with death. In Biblical times a sufferer was required by law to cry out unclean, unclean when in proximity to others. Centuries ago in England, a leper was considered to be officially dead and his property was seized. His house was often burned and he was cast out of the community. The word leprosy has, in fact, such a negative connotation to it that the ancient disease has been given a new name Hansens Disease. bodyOffer(16597) Leprosy affects some 13,000,000 people around the earth. Early indications that one has contracted the disease are flat discolorations or pale patches on the skin. Areas of the skin may also be insensitive to touch, as well as areas that no longer grow hair. Nodules may also be seen under the skin. Contrary to popular opinion, leprosy is not highly communicable. It is extremely rare that a leper colony volunteer will contract the disease. Babies and young children are , however, more susceptible than adults. The main treatment for leprosy for centuries was chaulmoogra oil, which was applied to the affected part of the body. This proved ineffective in arresting the condition and sufferers were usually transported to isolated colonies. These were, on the whole, most depressing places to be. In the 1940s, however, Sulfone drugs began to be used. These proved far more effective in stopping the disease and even curing it altogether. Early and prolonged treatment for up to ten years has given good prospects of full recovery. Thalidomide and Rifampicin have also proved effective in arresting the condition.

66. CDC Guidelines For UVC Irradiation Of TB So they were selected by NIOSH for the CDC to test UVC s efficacy against drug resistantTB in moving airstreams and at GW Long, hansens disease Center s lab http://www.airwater.com/APPCDCGuideTB.html

Brief Discussion CDC Guidelines for TB For ventilation, the guidelines refer to "engineering controls" in lieu of 100% outdoor air at the recommended rate of 18 air changes per hour (ACH). See Dilution Ventilation. The first recommendation is for HEPA filters in any air conveyance system where TB microbes are thought to exist as it is theorized that a HEPA filter of 99.97% at 0.3 micron or better would remove 100% of the TB organisms. Therefore, a number of air changes called equivalent air changes may be passed through a HEPA filter before being sent back to the conditioned space. This would be less the amount used as exhaust to maintain a negative pressure relationship to adjacent spaces. As an example, 15 air changes could go through the HEPA (recirculated) as equivalent air changes and when combined with 3 air changes of 100% OSA used for makeup, the total would be 18 ACH. The second is for UVC light energy (UVGI) an acceptable control. The guidelines do not refer to UVGI in lieu of HEPA filters but in addition too so as to include the upper air UVC fixtures. However, due to the recognition by the CDC of UVGI's efficacy against TB, it is commonly done in HVAC equipment where 100% outdoor air and/or HEPA filters are not an option. The most notable UVGI user is the National Jewish Center in Denver and it is also the country's leading treatment center for drug resistant TB. UVGI has been used there exclusively for over 12 years! They also have the direct distinction of having the fewest number of conversions to active TB.

The lush tropical foliage ends abruptly at the world's tallest seacliffs, which plummet 3,250 feet into the ocean. Kayaking along the coast is a wonderful experience, but should be limited to the calmer summer months. The northern penninsula (called 'the thumb') is a national historical park.

Father Damien Van Veuster devoted his life to the care of the suffering, and eventually died of the disease himself. BACK

Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) Hansen's disease, also known as leprosy, is an infectious disease caused by infection by Mycobacterium leprae. The modern name of the disease is named for the discoverer of Mycobacterium leprae, G. A. Hansen. Sufferers from Hansen's disease have generally been called lepers, although term is falling into disuse both from the diminishing number of leprosy patients and from pressure to avoid the demeaning connotations of the term. Leprosy used to be incurable, and severely disfiguring. Lepers were shunned and sequestered in leper colonies. Now known as Hansen's disease, leprosy is easily curable by multidrug antibiotic therapy. The main challenges for Hansen's disease elimination efforts are to reach populations that have not yet received multidrug therapy services, improve detection of the disease, and provide patients with high-quality services and free drugs. Clinical Features This chronic infectious disease usually affects the skin and peripheral nerves but has a wide range of possible clinical manifestations. Patients are classified as having paucibacillary or multibacillary Hansen's disease. Paucibacillary Hansen's disease is milder and characterized by one or more hypopigmented skin macules. Multibacillary Hansen's disease is associated with symmetric skin lesions, nodules, plaques, thickened dermis, and frequent involvement of the nasal mucosa resulting in nasal congestion and epistaxis. Etiologic Agent The cause of this disease is a bacillus, Mycobacterium leprae, that multiplies very slowly and mainly affects the skin, nerves, and mucous membranes. The organism has never been grown in bacteriologic media or cell culture, but has been grown in mouse foot pads. It is related to M. tuberculosis, the bacillus that causes tuberculosis.

What is Hansen's disease? Hansen's Disease has been a dreaded condition since the beginning of man's recorded history. Learn more about this illness by reading this article. Hansen's disease, commonly referred to as leprosy, is a chronic infectious disease caused by the mycobacterium leprae bacteria. This disease can cause severe deformity of the feet, hands and face. The bacteria that cause leprosy thrive in cool areas of the body such as the skin, nerves near the skin surface and in oral and nasal mucus membranes. The infection leads to a loss of sensation in the affected areas. Leprosy was once a widespread disease but is now generally classified as a tropical disease, with the larger numbers of cases concentrated in Brazil, India, Nigeria, Indonesia, Bangladesh and Myanmar. Only about five percent of the people who are infected with the bacteria actually develop the disease. The immune system generally prevent the development of leprosy. However, it has been found that some people are naturally more susceptible to the infection, while others carry a natural immunity. When an individual does develop symptoms, they are usually mild. The disease is only fatal in rare cases or in cases where other complications have taken hold. bodyOffer(31875) Hansens's disease has two forms-tuberculoid (paucibacillary Hansen's disease) and lepromatous (multibacillary Hansen's disease).
