Extractions: This condition results from the bacillus Corynebacterium diphtheriae, which multiplies on the throat or skin during infection. It causes a sore throat and fever, and it can be fatal. Children in the U.S. are vaccinated in their first year of life with DPT vaccine (against diptheria, pertussis, and tetanus); however, in poor developing countries, immunization is not routine and presents a hazard for these countries as well as for nonimmunized people who travel to these countries.

Targeting Breast Cancer Using Diptheria Toxin
Targeting Breast Cancer Using diptheria Toxin. Senyon Choe, Ph. D. TheSalk Institute for Biological Studies Award Type ITaMoCA, Innovative

Extractions: Duration: 2 yrs., 1996-1998 Initial Award Abstract Normally, the growth of human breast cells is closely controlled by the levels of hormones (such as estrogen) and growth-promoting proteins (such as heregulin). Heregulins are a class of proteins known to promote the unwanted growth of breast cancer cells under certain conditions. The overabundance of heregulin on the surface of breast cancer cells often indicates that the cancer has progressed to the stage that the cells are no longer responsive to estrogen treatment using a drug like tamoxifen. The counter balancing activities of these two classes of molecules, steroid hormones and growth-promoting proteins, are important in determining the progression of breast cancer. The ultimate goal of this proposal is to disrupt this balance in order to stop growth of breast cancer cells. In practice, our specific aim is to design a toxin protein that will kill cells carrying the growth-promoting protein heregulin. Diphtheria toxin is known to kill certain types of cells carrying a specific receptor protein on their surface. This toxin will serve as the starting material in our design of a new toxin for killing breast cancer cells. Our strategy is to create a toxin variant that is capable of recognizing and killing only those cancer cells carrying heregulin. We hypothesize that the targeted delivery of this toxin variant to these cells will effectively reduce the overall growth of breast cancer.
DIPTHERIA IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION
24.01.99, diptheria IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION, News. Medscape http//www.medscape.com/govmt/CDC/EID/1998/v04.n04/e0404.04.vite/pnte0404.04.vite.html

Extractions: The massive reemergence of diphtheria in the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union marked the first large-scale diphtheria epidemic in industrialized countries in 3 decades. Factors contributing to the epidemic included a large population of susceptible adults; decreased childhood immunization, which compromised what had been a well-established childhood vaccination program; suboptimal socioeconomic conditions; and high population movement. The role of a change in the predominant circulating strains of Corynebacterium diphtheriae in this epidemic remains uncertain. Massive, well-coordinated international assistance and unprecedented efforts to vaccinate adults were needed to control the epidemic. In the 1990s, a massive epidemic throughout the Newly Independent States of the former Soviet Union marked the reemergence of epidemic diphtheria in industrialized countries. Diphtheria had been well controlled in the Soviet Union for more than 2 decades after universal childhood immunization was initiated in the late 1950s (Figure 1). Although all of the Newly Independent States were affected, three quarters of the more than 140,000 cases (Table 1) and two thirds of the more than 4,000 deaths reported since 1990[1-3] were reported by the Russian Federation.

Extractions: Diphtheria is an acute bacterial disease that can infect the body in two areas: the throat (respiratory diphtheria) and the skin (skin or cutaneous diphtheria). A common childhood disease in the 1930s, a vaccine against diphtheria has made it very rare in the US and other developing countries today. What are the symptoms of diphtheria? respiratory diphtheria When a person is infected with diphtheria, the bacterium usually multiplies in the throat, leading to the respiratory version of diphtheria. A membrane may form over the throat and tonsils, causing a sore throat. Other common symptoms of respiratory diphtheria may include: Persons may die from asphyxiation when the membrane obstructs breathing. Other complications of respiratory diphtheria are caused by the diphtheria toxin released in the blood, leading to heart failure.

Extractions: Diphtheria is a very serious disease that can make a person unable to breathe, cause paralysis (when a person cannot move some muscles) or heart failure. It is spread by coughing and close contact. About one of every 10 people who get diphtheria dies from it. Fortunately, only a few cases were reported in the United States during the past few years, but larger outbreaks continue to occur in other areas of the world. Last Updated: 5/5/00

G. Ramon. They are harmless, do not cause the slightest reaction, and confer an immunity even more lasting than that of calf-lymph against small-pox. It is suggested that all infants over twelve months' old should henceforth go through a second vaccination for diphtheria, and that all soldiers on active service should be vaccinated against tetanus, as they are now against typhus. A generation ago Dr. Roux, the friend and successor of Pasteur, discovered specific serums against diphtheria and tetanus, but the immunising effect of injections in both cases has been extremely ephemeral, lasting only, at the most, a few days. M. Ramon set himself to find something that would be as good as if not better than Jenner's vaccine.

http://www.ashleyvet.com/html/calfdiptheria.htm

Extractions: Calf diptheria (necrotic laryngitis) is an infection of the larynx (voicebox) of cattle caused by the same bacteria that causes bovine footrot. Calves with diptheria usually have a sudden onset of labored breathing and a "honking" noise when they breathe. This "honking" is due to a narrowed airway that results form the infection and inflammation. Diptheria is often mistaken for pneumonia. Treatment for diptheria consists of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories and must be continued for several days beyond clinical signs in order to prevent relapses. Generally we use a combination of sulfa (either Albon or Bovazine), Dexamethasone and Micotil. When relapses do occur the disease becomes much more difficult to treat and the prognosis is much poorer. Occasionally surgical intervention is necessary on chronic cases. Our treatment goal is to avoid surgery if possible. A full course of treatment takes at least five days.

Davis, MD Chief Medical Officer and State Epidemiologist for Communicable Diseases Thomas N. Saari, MD Chair, Wisconsin Council on Immunization Practices Subject: Tetanus diphtheria (Td) Vaccine Shortage Alert There is a shortage of Td vaccine in the United States that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is expected to last 12-18 months. The Wisconsin Immunization Program has on hand only 19% of the projected doses needed until the next shipment arrives in September 2001. To assure an equitable distribution of Td vaccine, health care providers enrolled in the Vaccines For Children (VFC) Program can request a maximum of 30 doses per order. Frequent orders will be evaluated for justifiability. Non-VFC enrolled providers in need of Td vaccine for wound management should call Aventis Pasteur at 1-800-Vaccine (1-800-822-2463). To conserve Td vaccine for those person 7 years of age who are at greatest risk of exposure to tetanus bacteria or diphtheria disease, all providers of Td vaccine are requested to prioritize its use based on the following recommendations of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) and the Wisconsin Council on Immunization Practices (WCIP):

Extractions: Treatment for: whooping cough Tripedia has been approved as an injected whooping cough vaccine for children up to three years of age. Whooping cough, or pertussis, is a highly contagious disease that usually hits children under age three, causing severe coughing and difficulty in breathing. Tripedia is made of just a portion of the killed pertussis bacteria. This acellular vaccine has also been approved in the United States for booster shots in older children, and it has been used for 15 years in Japan for children of all ages. American infants will be given this acellular vaccine at ages two, four and six months as well as booster shots later. A large-scale phase III efficacy study was conducted in Germany from 1993 to 1995 and enrolled 16,780 infants between six and 17 weeks of age. Tripedia was administered to 12,517 of the infants. The efficacy of the acellular pertussis vaccine in the German case-control study was 80% for culture-confirmed pertussis cough of 21 days.

Extractions: Diphtheria is found only in humans and is usually transmitted by respiratory droplets from infected persons. It can however, be transmitted by contaminated objects or foods. The incubation period is 2 to 5 days. Years ago, diphtheria was a widespread and greatly feared disease. Through the 1920's it struck about 150,000 people a year, and killed about 15,000 of them. Since then, these figures have dropped considerably, thanks to parents who have gotten their children immunized against this terrible disease. There were only 918 cases in 1960, 435 in 1970, and 128 in 1976. Today, only a few cases occur each year. Diphtheria is caused by a germ that lives in the mouth, throat, and nose of an infected person. It is easily passed to others through coughing or sneezing. Thick, gray, and attached membrane over the tonsils and throat, also:
