Geneva, August 31 (Xinhua) -- According to monkeypox epidemic statistics released by the World Health Organization (WHO) on August 31, there have been 50,496 confirmed cases and 16 deaths worldwide.
Data showed that there were 5,139 new confirmed cases of monkeypox and one new death in the past seven days. A total of 125 countries and territories have reported cases of monkeypox. The countries with a total of more than 1,000 cases of monkeypox are the United States with 17,994 cases, Spain with 6,543 cases, Brazil with 4,693 cases, France with 3,547 cases, Germany with 3,467 cases, the United Kingdom with 3,413 cases, Peru with 1,463 cases, Canada with 1,228 cases and the Netherlands with 1,160 cases.
Who Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a news conference August 31 that the decline in new cases in some countries proves the outbreak can be stopped. In the Americas, which accounts for more than half of monkeypox cases, Canada has seen a continuing downward trend, although infections continue to increase in some countries. Some European countries, such as Germany and the Netherlands, have also seen a significant slowdown in the outbreak, which proves the effectiveness of public health interventions.
Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis caused by infection with the monkeypox virus. The initial symptoms of monkeypox infection in humans include fever, headache, muscle soreness, back pain and swollen lymph nodes, which can progress to a widespread rash on the face and body. Most patients recover within a few weeks, but some become seriously ill.
Who declared the multi-country monkeypox outbreak a "Public Health Emergency of International Concern" on 23 July. This is the highest public health alert the organization can issue.
Monkeypox can affect people's appetite to a certain extent, even cause nausea, nausea, and even vomiting, and the secondary injury caused by these can also bring trouble to people. For the secondary injury caused by foreign body stuck in the trachea after vomiting, we have developed an effective treatment product. This product is called the Tactical Manual Suction Device. This product is composed of three parts, the rigid plastic suction tube, bulb and suck out the liquid collection bags, product front end as a rigid plastic pipe, able to stretch into the trachea from patients with throat position, then knead move bulb, thus may by air pressure difference on airway mucus, blood, vomit, or other foreign material shall be sucked out, and through the bulb collect foreign bodies in the collection bag. There are also two sets of one-way valves on the collection bag, which can effectively prevent the liquid reflux in the collection bag, and the collection bag is sealed. The two sets of one-way valves can discharge the air in the collection bag to make room for the suction of foreign bodies. The volume of the collection bag is about 1,000 ml, and the entire device weighs only 250 grams, making it easy to use. On the sales side, we would make sales with a box of 20 Suction devices and each Tactical Manual Suction Device would have its own packaging.
