Home News Business Columns ... of this story September 30, 2001 Gaylord's Alpine Center a sight to behold By MIKE NORTON Record-Eagle staff writer GAYLORD - Forget the faux Suisse frills on the Alpenstrasse, and even St. Mary's Cathedral, which looks more like a half-sunken alien Mother Ship than anything else. If you want to see the best architecture Gaylord has to offer, you've got to head north of town to the J. Richard Yuill Alpine Center. Built in 1937 as a 128-bed tuberculosis sanitarium, the Alpine Center was the work of the Depression-era Works Progress Administration. In the 1960s it became the Gaylord State Home, a residential and training institution for people with developmental disabilities. Today it houses a variety of state, county and other public offices. Even though the big four-story main building is in a somewhat severe style, it's full of decorative touches that have long vanished from today's public buildings. But the stars of the complex are the cottages and other outbuildings: built of red brick with white stone sills, copper guttering and steep dark roofs. In a way, they're Gaylord's version of the Traverse City State Hospital complex - except that they're in much better shape. Not that the place hasn't suffered a certain amount of neglect and vandalism in its time. In fact, the old buildings were allowed to decay during most of the 1980s until Otsego County finally got around to rehabilitating them.

Tuberculosis (TB) Tuberculosis, a sometimes crippling and deadly disease, is on the rise and is revisiting both the developed and developing world. Globally, it is the leading cause of deaths resulting from a single infectious disease. Currently, it kills three million people a year and, if the present trend continues, it is likely to claim more than 30 million lives within the next decade. Recent increases in migration have rapidly mixed infected with uninfected communities and contributed to the spread of the disease. WHAT IS TUBERCULOSIS? The second stage of the disease is manifested by destruction or "consumption" of the tissues of the affected organ. When the lung is affected, it results in diminished respiratory capacity, associated with other symptoms; when other organs are affected, even if treated adequately, it may leave permanent, disabling scar tissue. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The primary stage of the disease may be symptom-free, or the individual may experience a flu-like illness. In the secondary stage, called active disease, there might be a slight fever, night sweats, weight loss, fatigue and various other symptoms, depending on the part of the body affected. Tuberculosis of the lung is usually associated with a dry cough that eventually leads to a productive cough with blood-stained sputum. There might also be chest pain and shortness of breath. This secondary stage, if affecting the lungs, is the contagious stage - when the bacteria can be spread to others.

Software TB News and Research Updates About the TB Structural Genomics Consortium The TB Structural Genomics Consortium was formed in the fall of 2000 with the goal of providing a structural basis for the development of therapeutics for tuberculosis. The strategy of the Consortium is to determine the 3-dimensional structures of proteins from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and place them in the public domain. Then researchers anywhere can use this structural information to stop the growth of the bacillus by blocking the actions of these proteins. The membership of the Consortium has grown to include over 70 laboratories in 12 countries. The Consortium has central facilities for cloning TB genes and protein production (at Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA), for crystallization of proteins (at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory), and for X-ray data collection (at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). These facilities serve all the members of the Consortium. Additionally, individual Consortium members carry out all the steps in structure determination and analysis in ther own laboratories. The TB Structural Genomics Consortium has determined the structures of over 60 proteins from TB. You can see all of the Consortium's

Go to a Section in TB Table of Contents Treatment Prophylaxis References by Richard E. Chaisson, M.D. Tuberculosis is one of the most prevalent infections of human beings and contributes considerably to illness and death around the world. Globally, it is estimated that approximately one-third of the global population is infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis and that seven to eight million new cases of tuberculosis occur each year. Annual tuberculosis mortality is between two and three million people, making this disease the most common infectious cause of death in the world. Most tuberculosis cases and deaths occur in developing countries, notably in Asia and Africa. In the United States, the annual incidence of tuberculosis is considerably lower than in developing countries. Nonetheless, tuberculosis remains an important problem in this country and the impact of tuberculosis has worsened in recent years.

The buildings and terra-cotta ornamentation were designed by architect Raymond F. Almirall in the Mission Revival Style. http://www.preserve2.org/seaview/wwp.htm

Preservation Alert: by Susan Tunick President, Friends of Terra Cotta Seaview Hospital-Farm Colony Historic District was designated an official New York City Landmark in 1985. Today, most of the building on this property remain vacant and many are in a severe state of deterioration Demolition by neglect is an unacceptable fate for New York's landmark buildings. The Friends of Terra Cotta is particularly concerned about the exacerbated condition of the ceramic murals and ornament which surround the tops of the Women's Ward Pavilions, buildings #1 - #4. These remarkable works were produced in Delft, Holland by De Porceleyne Fles Numerous tile experts have been interested in seeing these and they will be featured in an upcoming publication by Hans Van Lemmen. After a visit in late February 1998, during which some of these horrendous conditions were documented, it is clear that we must make the city take appropriate action. Photos by David Jones Seaview Hospital is situated today on 400 acres surrounded by residential property, a golf course, park and high school.

76. Tuberculosis, NIAID Fact Sheet March 2002. tuberculosis. Many people think tuberculosis (TB) is a disease of the past. What happens when someone gets infected with M. tuberculosis? http://www.niaid.nih.gov/factsheets/tb.htm

March 2002 Tuberculosis M. tuberculosis . TB is a chronic bacterial infection. It is spread through the air and usually infects the lungs, although other organs are sometimes involved. Most persons that are infected with M. tuberculosis harbor the bacterium without symptoms but many develop active TB disease. Each year, 8 million people worldwide develop active TB and 3 million die. Is TB a problem in the United States? In the United States, TB has re-emerged as a serious public health problem. In 2001, based on provisional data reported to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the number of cases has decreased for the ninth straight year to 15,991 cases of active TB (infection with full-blown disease symptoms). This all-time low is due largely to improved public health control measures. In addition to those with active TB, however, an estimated 10 to 15 million people in the United States are infected with M. tuberculosis

From Christy Feig CNN Medical Unit NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) Tuberculosis rarely crosses the minds of most Americans. Maybe that's because cases of the disease have been declining for more than a century. But experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are gathering in Atlanta this week to discuss among other things the importance of keeping their guard up when it comes to infectious diseases like TB. There were 16,000 cases of TB registered in the United States last year. That's still a decline but the numbers are leveling off. What concerns researchers is the fact that some newer strains of TB are resistant to standard treatments. And these strains are spreading. "TB changed my life drastically, I haven't worked in four years," says one patient who wishes to remain anonymous. He has a resistant strain of TB and is left with one option have part of his lung removed.

80. Welcome To The Charles P. Felton National TB Center The goal is to meet the challenge of TB in Harlem by providing innovative prevention, treatment, and training programs to members community and healthcare providers serving the community. http://www.harlemtbcenter.org

T he Charles P. Felton National Tuberculosis Center at Harlem Hospital is one of three "model centers" funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a partnership of Harlem Hospital, Columbia University, Health & Hospitals Corporation, and New York City Department of Health. As a "model center," our mandate is to contribute to the elimination of tuberculosis (TB) as a public health problem by creating and distributing training and education products for the appropriate diagnosis and treatment of TB and latent TB infection, and by developing and testing innovative programs. T he unique characteristics of the Harlem community have compelled the Center to focus on initiatives which are tailored to fit its needs, such as: providing comprehensive social support to reduce psycho-social barriers to treatment completion; developing and implementing new models of care that are sensitive to both patient and community needs; and educating and training persons who provide care to this kind of community. These programs have been conducive to the declining TB rates in Harlem and New York City, and have contributed to TB control efforts elsewhere. Home Center Activities TB Links Email Us ...
