Outbreak Sickens Dozens at New Jersey University

About 40 students at a university in New Jersey have been taken to hospitals for treatment after an outbreak of what authorities believe is the norovirus.
The Rider University students, at the school’s campus in Lawrenceville, were brought to hospitals late Wednesday night, the school said Thursday.
The suspected outbreak comes a week after an outbreak began at nearby Princeton University, which is still under way, officials said.
“We are coordinating treatment information with that university. We have also informed neighboring institutions,” Rider said on its website.
Norovirus is a highly contagious illness that is often called stomach flu or food poisoning, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is the most common cause of acute gastroenteritis in the United States.
The most common symptoms are diarrhea, vomiting, and stomach pain. Most people get better within one to two days.
Rider officials worked with health authorities throughout the night “to identify ill students in the residence halls and treat them either on site or send them to area hospitals,” the school said.
Some of those taken to hospitals have been discharged and returned to campus.
People who get the virus are contagious “from the moment they begin feeling sick until at least three days after they recover,” the school said.

Loneliness is Contagious

Did singer Billy Joel have it right in his 1973 hit “Piano Man,” when he said that sharing the drink we call loneliness is better than drinking alone?
One new piece of research suggests that the opposite, in fact, may be true.
Adding to what we already suspect about loneliness — namely, that it is linked to such problems as depression, suicide, alcoholism, drug abuse and other health issues — researchers now suspect that loneliness, like a bad cold, can spread.
“We have been looking at this topic for well over a decade,” said John Cacioppo, director of the University of Chicago’s Center for Cognitive and Social Neuroscience and one of the study’s authors. “Loneliness is a lot more serious in terms of consequences than people have thought.”
He said another misperception is that loneliness is always the result of isolation; in fact, it may be the other way around.
“Loneliness begets you becoming more isolated,” Cacioppo said.
Cacioppo was part of a team of researchers from the University of Chicago, the University of California San Diego and Harvard University who looked at the phenomenon. The researchers referred to data gathered from the mammoth Framingham Heart Study, which looked at thousands of people with the original aim of teasing apart the factors involved in heart disease.
But in this case, the team took a different angle on the data — they wanted to find out how those who frequently reported themselves to be lonely affected those within their social circles.
What they discovered was that those who are lonely tend to share their loneliness with others. Worse, these groups of lonely people can eventually slide to the very edge of the social networks of which they are a part.
The findings were published in the December issue of the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
The current research is not the first look Cacioppo and his colleagues have taken at loneliness. A couple of years ago, they published research suggesting that lonely people have, on the whole, more negative social interactions with others than those who are not lonely. So these lonely people, Cacioppo suggests, will be more likely to interpret their social interactions pessimistically.
Loneliness is Actually a Bad Cycle
“If I’m treating you badly, you can tell me to go take a hike,” he said. “After time, as this happens more and more, I will be moved to the edge of the social network.”
But negative interactions, Cacioppo said, can be contagious as well as cumulative — and ultimately they can have profound effects on our position in society. The principle behind this contagious aspect of certain behaviors is known as the induction hypothesis. And Cacioppo said that judging from the results of the research; it applies to loneliness as well.
“When people feel lonely, they tend to be shyer, more anxious, more hostile, more socially awkward and lower in self-esteem,” he said. “That, in turn, induces other individuals to act in negative ways. … Emotional contagion could therefore contribute to the spread of loneliness to those with whom they interact.”
Chris Segrin, head of the communication department at the University of Arizona, said these circles of friends on the periphery of social networks may also attract each other in a negative feedback loop of loneliness.
Expert Warns of Pandemic Flu Mutation

China must be alert to any mutation or changes in the behavior of the H1N1 swine flu virus because the far deadlier H5N1 bird flu virus is endemic in the country, a leading Chinese disease expert said.
Zhong Nanshan, director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases in China’s southern Guangdong province, said the presence of both viruses in China meant they could mix and become a monstrous hybrid — a bug packed with strong killing power that can transmit efficiently among people.
“China, as you know, is different from other countries. Inside China, H5N1 has been existing for some time, so if there is really a reassortment between H1N1 and H5N1, it will be a disaster,” Zhong said in an interview with Reuters Television.
“This is something we need to monitor, the change, the mutation of the virus. This is why reporting of the death rate must be really transparent.”
The World Health Organization warned on Tuesday that H5N1 had erupted in poultry in Egypt, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, posing once again a threat to humans.
“First, it places those in direct contact with birds — usually rural folk and farm workers — at risk of catching the often-fatal disease. Second, the virus could undergo a process of “reassortment” with another influenza virus and produce a completely new strain,” it said.
“The most obvious risk is of H5N1 combining with the pandemic … (H1N1) virus, producing a flu virus that is as deadly as the former and as contagious as the latter.”
Zhong told the Chinese media last week that China may have had more H1N1 flu deaths than it has reported, with some local governments possibly concealing suspect cases.
The doctor is known for his candor and work in fighting Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome in 2003, when nationwide panic and international alarm erupted after it emerged that officials hid or underplayed the spreading epidemic.
Cover-ups by local governments in 2003 during the SARS epidemic led to the sackings of several officials. More than 300 people died in that outbreak.
Swine Flu Might Be Even More Contagious

People infected with the swine flu (or H1N1 pandemic flu) strain continue to shed virus after the point where current recommendations say they can go back to work or school, two studies suggested Tuesday.
The question, experts said, is whether those people are still contagious and whether a longer stay-at-home period would prevent enough additional infections outweigh the cost.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control currently says people should wait at least a day after their fever subsides — usually three or four days after the onset of symptoms — before resuming normal activities.
But patients can continue to shed virus for several days after that, according to data presented at the annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy in San Francisco.
Even so, detection of virus doesn’t necessarily mean contagion, said Dr. Gaston De Serres, of Laval University in Quebec City.
“We detected live virus,” he told reporters. “We cannot say (patients are) contagious but they have the potential to be.”
De Serres and colleagues studied 43 people with confirmed H1N1 pandemic flu, as well as members of their households, using polymerase chain reaction technology to detect the virus and culture methods to find live influenza.
Eight days after their symptoms started, De Serres said eight of the 43 (or 19 percent) were still shedding live virus, detected by culture methods.
Meanwhile, in a similar study, Dr. David Chien Lye, of Tan Tock Seng Hospital in Singapore reported that even after treatment with oseltamivir (Tamiflu), patients may still shed virus for several days.
Lye and colleagues studied 70 patients treated in the hospital after they showed signs of the pandemic flu. They found that 80 percent were still shedding virus after five days of illness, compared with 40 percent after seven days and 10 percent after 10 days.
The longest period during which a patient shed virus was 12 days from the start of symptoms, he said. Lye used a different method to detect the virus and wasn’t able to tell whether the virus given off by the patients was a “live virus,” he said. But he said a small sub-study in which both tests were used provided similar results in each instance.
De Serres said he and his colleagues are still trying to determine if any of their participants transmitted the virus after the first seven days.
For his part, Lye said his patients did not actually transmit the virus, since they were hospitalized and staff took full precautions against the flu.
Both researchers said more study is needed, but the findings suggest that people with the H1N1 flu shouldn’t rush to resume normal activities.
“If you only stay home a couple of days,” De Serres said, “it’s very likely you will still be contagious.”
The mere act of shedding virus may not mean much, according to Dr. Donald Low, of Toronto’s Mount Sinai Hospital, because modern tests are so sensitive they can find viruses long after they’re dead.
Shedding a Virus Doesn’t Always Mean Spreading Disease
For instance, he said, researchers tested a carpet several months after one of the first victims of Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) had vomited on it.
“It was just chock-full of virus,” he said, “but it was all dead.”
He added that health policy-makers must balance the economic impact of telling people to stay home longer with the medical impact of some potential extra infections.
The current recommendation is intended to decrease the chance of transmitting the virus, rather than to stop it completely, said Dr. Daniel Jernigan, the deputy director of the CDC’s influenza division.
“Some people will continue to shed live virus after their fever stops, we know that,” he said, but it’s not clear that they remain contagious.
In the absence of clear evidence that shedding virus equals infectivity, he said, “we needed to make a policy that was easy to implement proportional to the severity of the virus.”
“If we had a virus with a very high attack rate or death rate,” he said, “we might have a very different policy.
