Buscan vínculo entre zika y síndrome que da
parálisis
Por JENNY BARCHFIELD y MARCOS ALEMAN, Associated Press
RIO DE JANEIRO, 23 I
16 (AP): Dos países
latinoamericanos
investigan si los brotes del
virus zika, transmitido por
un mosquito, están detrás del
aumento de una rara y
potencialmente
letal
afección nerviosa que puede
causar parálisis y dejar a sus
víctimas en soporte vital.
El virus zika se ha
r e l a c i o n a d o
provisionalmente con la
aparición de microcefalias,
un problema congénito por
el que los bebés nacen con
una cabeza muy pequeña. Y
aunque la forma en que el
virus afectaría a los menores
sigue sin estar clara,
autoridades de Brasil, Colombia y El Salvador instan
a las mujeres a evitar riesgos
posponiendo embarazos.
Los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de
Enfermedades de Estados
Unidos advirtieron a las
mujeres embarazadas que
reconsideren sus planes de
viajar a países donde se han
registrado casos de zika, y el
viernes ampliaron la alerta a
22 destinos, la mayoría en
América Latina y el Caribe.
El aumento de casos del
síndrome de Guillain-Barré,
el nombre con el que se
conoce a la afección
nerviosa, ha alarmado
también a las autoridades
sanitarias de la región. La
enfermedad causa debilidad
muscular, que suele
comenzar en las piernas y
luego se extiende a los brazos
la cara, y puede causar
entumecimiento,
dificultades para caminar e
incluso parálisis de las
extremidades. La mayoría de
las personas se recupera
completamente en cuestión
de semanas o meses, pero en
los casos severos la vida del
enfermo corre peligro porque
el mal afecta los músculos
utilizados en la respiración.
Cualquier persona puede
sufrir Guillain-Barré, aunque
es algo poco común. Se cree
que el síndrome está
provocado
por
una
infección—en ocasiones
algo tan simple como una
intoxicación alimentaria—
y ocurre cuando el sistema
inmunológico reacciona de
manera exagerada y ataca a
sus propias células del
sistema nervioso.
Los investigadores han
sospechado del virus desde
que en la Polinesia Francesa se
observó un aumento en los
casos de síndrome de GuillainBarré,asícomodemicrocefalia,
coincidiendo con una oleada
de infecciones de zika, aunque
las poblaciones eran mucho
menores que en los brotes
recientes.
La
Organización
Mundial de la Salud indicó
que las autoridades
salvadoreñas reportaron 46
casos de síndrome de GuillainBarré en sólo cinco semanas,
del 1 de diciembre al 6 de
enero. El promedio para todo
el año en el país es de 169
casos. Dijo que de 22 pacientes
de los que había información,
por lo menos 12 habían tenido
fiebre y sarpullido 15 días
antes de que desarrollaran el
síndrome.
Las autoridades brasileñas
también confirmaron que
están investigando un posible
vínculo entre el aumento casi
simultáneo de casos de
Guillain-Barré y zika, que se
detectó por primera vez en el
país el pasado mayo. Se cree
que el zika pudo haber entrado
a territorio brasileño con un
turista que asistió al Mundial
de 2014 o a una prueba
internacional de canotaje ese
mismo año.
El doctor Antonio
Bandeira, infectólogo del
Hospital Couto Maia, en la
ciudad nororiental de Salvador, dijo que durante la
temporada de lluvias del año
pasado, cuando los casos de
zika estaban en su apogeo,
hubo una racha inusual de
pacientes con el síndrome de
Guillain-Barré.
“Hubo muchos casos de
zika de febrero a julio y luego
desapareció en agosto. En
mayo, junio y julio tuvimos
24 pacientes con el síndrome
de Guillain-Barré, y ninguno
desde agosto”, dijo Bandeira.
Agregó que en los años
anteriores generalmente sólo
veía a dos o tres pacientes con
la enfermedad por año.
La mayoría de los pacientes
habían
experimentado
también síntomas similares a
los del zika, que puede incluir
fiebre y aparición de manchas
rochas en la piel, agregó
Bandeira.
Por su parte, el hospital da
Restauracao en Recife trató
cerca de seis veces más casos
de Guillain-Barré de lo habitual, dijo la neuróloga
María Lucía Ferreira.
Cincuenta de los 94 pacientes
atendidos durante la
temporada de lluvias
fallecieron.
A nivel nacional, los casos
del síndrome habían sido tan
inusuales que el Ministerio
de Salud no dio seguimiento
a su número exacto. Sin embargo, los funcionarios
sanitarios reconocieron el
aumento.
Albert Ko, profesor de
epidemiología en la Escuela
de Salud Pública de Yale, dijo
que la relación entre el zika y
el síndrome Guillain-Barré es
“plausible y altamente probable”. Pero la dificultad para
diagnosticar el zika y el hecho
de que el Guillain-Barré pueda
aparecer semanas más tarde
han
dificultado
la
confirmación del vínculo entre ambas dolencias.
“Aunque muchos de
nosotros
estamos
convencidos y creemos que
es altamente probable que el
virus del zika causó esta
epidemia de Guillain-Barré,
y que pueda causarla allí
donde se transmita el virus,
seguimos careciendo de
pruebas realmente firmes para
hacer esa diagnosis”, dijo Ko,
que realizó investigaciones
en el noreste de Brasil durante
dos décadas.
El zika se originó en África
y después de extendió a partes
de Asia. Tras su aparición en
Brasil, en un primer momento
las autoridades sanitarias no
se alarmaron ya que parecía
ser una forma poco potente de
dengue. Pero luego se produjo
un auge en los casos de
microcefalias:
Desde
principios de octubre, el país
ha registrado 3.893 casos
frente a los 150 de 2014.
Las autoridades brasileñas
están convencidas de que existe
un vínculo entre ambos males.
Organismos internacionales de
salud han dicho que esa
relación todavía no ha sido
demostrada científicamente,
pero se mantienen en alerta e
investigando. Los Centros para
el Control y la Prevención de
Enfermedades de Estados
Unidos dijeron el viernes
que emitían su alerta sobre
viajes como medida de “gran
cautela”.
El gobierno de El Salvador sugirió esta semana que
las mujeres no se embaracen
durante los próximos dos años,
y algunas dijeron que
atenderán la recomendación.
“Tenemos una gran suerte,
mi hijo nació antes de esto”,
dijo Fátima Mejía, de 19 años,
que acudió a una clínica en
Santa Tecla, en las afueras de
la capital salvadoreña, para
que revisaran a su bebé de 17
días de nacido. “No me voy a
embarazar hasta que pase esto;
no voy a arriesgar a un niño”.
En
Colombia,
el
viceministro de Salud,
Fernando Ruiz, dijo a The
Associated Press que el país
ha registrado 13.531 casos
sospechosos de zika y señaló
que el número podría
incrementarse a medio millón
este año. Dijo que por lo menos
560 casos implican a mujeres
embarazadas, aunque no se
han detectado casos de
microcefalia.
Ruiz dijo que ha habido
12 casos de personas con el
síndrome de Guillain-Barré
que antes tuvieron síntomas
similares a los de una
infección de zika.

High court rejects Arizona sheriff’s appeal over
immigration - The justices let stand a lower court
ruling that said Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio
had no legal basis to challenge the program.
WASHINGTON, DC, Jan.
19, 2016 (AP): The Supreme
Court won’t hear an appeal
from an Arizona sheriff seeking to halt President Barack
Obama’s plan to spare millions
of people from deportation.
The justices on Tuesday let
stand a lower court ruling that
said Maricopa County Sheriff
Joe Arpaio had no legal basis to
challenge the program.
Arpaio claimed the program
would let more immigrants enter the country illegally, creating a burden on law enforcement from increased crime.
A federal judge said Arpaio’s
complaints were speculative.
The federal appeals court in
Washington, D.C., agreed.
The high court separately
decided to hear another case
on Tuesday in which 26 states
have challenged the constitutionality of the plan. The federal appeals court in New Orleans last year blocked the
program while that lawsuit
moves forward.

would qualify for work permits
and thus become eligible for
driver’s licenses, the costs of
which are subsidized by the
state. “Texas would incur millions of dollars in costs,” the
state said in its brief.
The justices also said they
would consider whether, if the
states can pursue their lawsuit,
Obama exceeded his authority
under federal laws and the Constitution.
Some court observers saw
in the court’s decision to look
at Obama’s power under the
Constitution a potentially ominous sign. “It suggests that the
court is willing to engage President Obama’s entire use of executive orders,” said Jeffrey
Rosen, president and CEO of
the nonpartisan National Constitution Center.
Still, Democratic officials
and immigrants’ advocates
praised the court’s action. Senate Democratic Leader Harry
Reid of Nevada said that “lawabiding men and women continue to live in constant fear of
being separated from their children. These families must be
allowed to step out of the shadows and fully contribute to the
country that they love and call
home.”
The future of the estimated
11 million immigrants living
in the country without documentation has been much discussed by Republican and
Democratic presidential candidates. Democratic front-runner
Hillary Rodham Clinton has
pledged to go further than
Obama to protect large groups
of immigrants from deportation.
Republican Donald Trump
has proposed deporting all
people who are living in the
U.S. without documentation, an
idea embraced by some other
GOP candidates and dismissed
by others.
While immigration activists
generally have been supportive of Obama, they have criticized his administration for
raids this month that resulted in
the arrests of more than 120
immigrants from Central
America who came to the country without documentation
since 2014. Those recent arrivals are not among immigrants
who would benefit from
Obama’s plan.
The raids are part of a shift in
the administration’s enforcement actions to focus on criminals, those who pose a threat to
national security or public
safety, and recent border-crossers.
The change means that
people who are here without
documentation but who are not
otherwise violating the law are
less likely to face deportation.
About 235,000 people were
deported in the fiscal year that
ended Sept. 30, according to
the Department of Homeland
Security.
That was the smallest number since 2006 and a 42 percent
drop since a record high of more
than 409,000 in 2012.

How to qualify for a mortgage when searching
for a new home
When it comes to deciding the location, size and look
of a home, most first time
home buyers already have a
clear idea of what they want.
However, some may need a
little more guidance to understand what is needed to
purchase the home. “There is
so much information available about qualifying for a
mortgage that understanding the details can be overwhelming. That is why it is
best to make an appointment
to talk with a lender so you
can understand options
available to you,” said Tasha
Jacobs, Mortgage Lender at
First Federal Bank. There
are three major factors that
determine if an individual
can qualify for a mortgage:
down payment, creditworthiness and Debt-To-Income
(DTI) ratio.
Down Payments – There
is a common misconception that you need a 20%
down payment to purchase
a home, however, there are
other options available.
Buyers with lower income
or higher credit scores can
qualify for lending programs that require a smaller
down payment. “More of
my clients are taking advantage of lower down payment options. With the cost
of Private Mortgage Insur-
ance (PMI)
being more
cost effective
than a decade
ago, new doors are opening
for buyers,” said Ms. Jacobs.
PMI could be an additional
cost to your monthly mortgage payment if you purchase
a home with less than a 20%
down payment.
Creditworthiness – Most
homebuyers think that their
creditworthiness is purely
based on their credit score.
While it is an important factor, it is not the only thing
that is assessed when applying for a mortgage. To
qualify for most lending programs, a buyer will need a
credit score of at least 620. A
lender will also require buyers to provide a months’
worth of pay stubs, two years
of W-2s or tax returns and
bank statements for the two
most recent months. These
additional factors will determine a buyer’s creditworthiness. “We advise buyers to
avoid opening new credit
cards or applying for new
loans before purchasing a
home to avoid increased
credit debt on your credit
history report,” said Ms.
Jacobs.
Debt-To-Income Ratio Debt-To-Income Ratio is
used to measure your ability
to manage payments by
taking your gross monthly
debt divided by your gross
monthly income. To calculate, start by adding all
recurring monthly debt
payments (loans, minimum credit card payments, child support and
alimony). This does not
include day-to-day expenses like gas and groceries. Next, determine
your monthly income factoring in wages, salaries,
tips and bonuses, pensions, social security
child support and alimony. Finally divide
your two totals and multiple by 100 percent.
There are many ways
to go about obtaining a
mortgage. Working with
the right lender can make
all of the difference. “I
spend a great deal of time
with first-time home buyers answering questions,” said Ms. Jacobs.
“I find that taking the
extra time to help them
understand their options
leads to more confident
buyers and makes the
home buying experience
more enjoyable.”
According to its website, “NURTURES is a partnership between the University of Toledo…,
Toledo Public Schools, local daycare centers and nursery schools, informal science centers,
and community resources, working together to create a complementary, integrated system of
science education for preschool through third grade in the Toledo area.” The Toledo-Lucas
County Public Library was the venue on Jan. 23, 2016, where a variety of activities were
enjoyed by hundreds of students. Visit: www.nutures.utoledo.edu
Adelante to host pair of information & input
meetings, January 27 and 29th
By La Prensa Staff
The Broadway Corridor
Coalition is engaged in a
planning process to beautify and bring up that section of the Old South End,
a gateway to downtown
Toledo, as a point of pride
to residents, businesses, and
commuters headed to the
new ProMedica corporate
campus under construction.
The Toledo Design Center has been assisting that
effort since late 2014. The
goal is to create a consensus vision that can be officially adopted by the organizations and individuals
represented by the umbrella
group as a master plan. The
document created will
serve as a guide to the continued redevelopment of
the neighborhood.
The plan is considered a
living, breathing document,
depending on the input of
the stakeholders involved.
There are currently master
plan recommendations that
were built on public forums
held over the past 18 months.
But those emerging plans
need to be thoroughly vetted,
according to organizers of
the effort. So more input is
being sought from neighborhood groups to refine and
revise the plan toward a finished Master Plan.
On Wednesday, Jan 27,
2016, 10 a.m., Adelante, 520
Broadway St., will host a presentation from the Toledo
Design Center and a discussion on the efforts to date.
There will also be a
Latino Local Conversation
on Health at Adelante on
Friday, Jan. 29, 10 a.m.
This information will ask
a few basic questions of participants, including if Latino
health has improved for the
community’s families since
2011. Another big question
needing input s if the Affordable Care Act has improved
the health conditions of
Latino families in Toledo.
That information and input will be compiled into a
state report about the health
needs of Latino families in
Ohio. That report also will
cover Latino priority health
needs in the areas of capacity building, services, and
infrastructure.

After they disbanded,

A whopping 14 years
after their 1980 breakup,
the Eagles were back, and
they launched their “Hell

funnily after the band famously said it wouldn’t reunite “until hell freezes
over.”
In 1998, the Eagles were
inducted into the Rock &
Roll Hall of Fame. A year
after that, the Recording
Industry Association of
America named the Eagles
to its list of Artists of the
Century, alongside the
Beatles, Elvis Presley,
Barbra Streisand, Elton
John, and Garth Brooks.
Henley said Frey was
like a brother to him and
the bond they forged 45
years ago was never broken, even during the time
the Eagles were dissolved.
“We were two young
men who made the pilgrimage to Los Angeles with
the same dream,” he said,
“to make our mark in the
music industry.”
And that they did.

El Dalai Lama recibe tratamiento de próstata
en Clínica Mayo
ROCHESTER, Minnesota, 21 I 16 (AP): El Dalai
Lama se encuentra internado
en la Clínica Mayo en
Estados Unidos para recibir
tratamiento
a
un
padecimiento en la próstata.
La clínica ubicada en
Rochester, Minnesota,
señaló el miércoles en un
comunicado que el líder
budista tibetano de 80 años
de edad recibe tratamiento
para un padecimiento en la
próstata “que es común en
hombres de su edad”.
En el texto se indica que
sus médicos no reportan
mayor preocupación y se
espera que “responda bien al
tratamiento y se recupere en
su totalidad”.
El Dalai Lama había
informado previamente de su
viaje a Estados Unidos para
recibir atención médica en la
próstata y realizarse una
revisión general de su salud,
aunque no tenía “quejas de
salud específicas”.
En septiembre pasado, él
canceló una serie de
presentaciones en Estados
Unidos ante el consejo de
sus
doctores
estadounidenses, quienes le
pidieron descansar durante
varias semanas tras una
revisión médica.

Exchange Program exposes Chinese students
to life in Ohio, Michigan, & L.A.
(Continued from Page 1)
it through our traditional
school day without falling
asleep, because their bodies are so used to that routine."
But the ACES program
director also explained the
Chinese students are in
school until 4 to 6 p.m. each
weekday, then head home
for about four hours more
of studies at home before
being granted any free time.
Some kids even study until
about midnight, she noted.
The students also attend
fun and education-related
activities throughout the region. Two days after their
arrival, the Chinese students spent the better part
of the Martin Luther King,
Jr. holiday at Imagination
Station. ACES coordinates
those activities, because
they are required by China's
dept. of education.
Other trips will include
a visit to the Toledo Zoo's
new aquarium, a University of Toledo Rockets basketball game, a nature hike
at Maumee Bay State Park,
roller skating at Ohio Skate
in Maumee, and space-related programming at the
Challenger Learning Center in Oregon.
Ms. Virag expects the
children to be snapping
photo after photo during
the nature walk, because
she did not see many animals on her own trip to
China last summer. She also
noted you don't hear birds
chirping or dogs barking
like you'd expect in your
own backyard in the United
States.
"I didn't see 15 animals
the whole time I was there
and I visited five different
provinces," she said. "I saw
not even ten birds, two cats,
a dog, and a goat chained to
a fence. When they come
here, they're taking pictures
of the squirrels, everything.
We could never understand
the significance of these
animals that we take for
granted every single day."
One of the big roles of
the host families is to help
the Chinese students brush
up on their conversational
English. The students are
introduced to a foreign language as early as the first
grade, but they only know
rudimentary grammar,
spelling, and the like.
"Even their English
teachers' language skills are
not 100 percent. By the end
of three weeks, it's amazing
how quickly their brains
sponge up the English and
they are giving you full sentences by the third week,"
said Ms. Virag. "The first
week is tricky. You're using
a lot of body language and
we give them phrases and a
chart with basic phrases-are
you hungry, are you tired."
ACES, now in its 20th
year, also administers U.S.
State Dept. scholarships to
study language abroad for
US-American students ages
14 to 17. There has been interest from other countries to
expand the Young Ambassador program to include
middle school students from
México, Perú, Venezuela,
Brazil, Colombia, and others. The stumbling blocks
are finding a way to hold the
program in the summer and
host schools willing to provide language and cultural
classes.
"If you're ever thinking
about visiting someplace
abroad, host a student from
that country," she said. "Then
you'll have formed a bond
and someone to visit when
you go there."
The Chinese students
also have attended school
board meetings in the
Woodmore, Oregon, and
Rossford school districts.
Seeing local government in
action is part of the exchange
program.
"They don't even get to
be in front of people at that
level in their country," said
Ms. Virag. "They've never
even met their city officials.
For them, this is a big opportunity."
The Chinese students
only learned of their host
families once everyone was
placed. So those students
only had three days to shop
for gifts for each individual
member of their host families. One student even
bought a stuffed animal for a
young grandchild.
"It's really important in
this culture to express appreciation to those who are giving them this opportunity,"
said Ms. Virag.
Right now there is no reciprocal agreement to send
US-American middle school
students to China. But Ms.
Virag explained her trip to
China last summer was to
help set the stage to eventually make the Young
Ambassador exchange
program a two-way experience.
If anyone is interested
in becoming a host family
or organizing a Latino student exchange program,
Ms. Virag encourages
them to check out the
w e b s i t e
www.exploretheworld.org
or email her directly at
[email protected].
Editor's Note: The Chinese New Year is lunar, not
solar, and falls on February 8th for the year 2016.
More specifically, the
Chinese Lunar Calendar
is a yearly one, with the
start of the lunar year being based on the cycles of
the moon. Because of this
cyclical dating, the beginning of the year can fall
anywhere between late
January and the middle of
February. A complete
cycle takes 60 years and is
made up of five cycles of
12 years each.
The Chinese Lunar Calendar names each of the
twelve years after an animal. One legend has it that
Gautama Buddha summoned all the animals to
come to him before he departed from earth. Only
twelve came to bid him
farewell and as a reward he
named a year after each
one in the order they arrived. The Chinese believe
the animal ruling the year
in which a person is born
has a profound influence
on personality, saying:
"This is the animal that
hides in your heart."
The animals (years) are:
monkey (2016), cock
(2017), dog (2018), boar
(2019), rat (2020), ox
(2021), tiger (2022), rabbit (2023), dragon (2024),
snake (2025), horse
(2026), and sheep (2027).
One of the host mothers, Trina Myers, was delighted to welcome 13year-old Ziming Zhao,
who attended 8th grade at
Fassett Junior High School
with her son Dorian. In the
photo, her grandson
Alexander Lillie Jr is holding a gift received from
Ziming.

aceptó escuchar una

del presidente Barack
Obama en materia de
inmigración.
A
continuación presentamos
un vistazo a lo que podría
ocurrir al respecto en este
año:
• Dada la acción de la
corte, Obama podría tener
una última oportunidad de
cumplir su promesa de
proteger de la deportación
a hasta cinco millones de
inmigrantes que residen en
el país sin permiso.
• Las acciones ejecutivas
del presidente fueron
pospuestas por tribunales de
primera instancia debido a
argumentaciones de que
Obama había excedido su
autoridad.
• Se espera que la Corte
Suprema
emita
una
determinación sobre los
planes del mandatario a fines
de junio.
• Si la decisión de Obama
prevalece, aún podría ser
difícil implementar sus
órdenes debido a que sólo le
quedaría un semestre en el
puesto.
• Además
existe
incertidumbre respecto a
qué ocurriría si el próximo
presidente quisiera revertir
las políticas del mandatario
sobre la inmigración.
• Muchos inmigrantes se
sienten abandonados por

recientes
redadas
efectuadas por su gobierno
para deportar a inmigrantes
que carecen de permiso de

Cleveland Metroparks Zoo welcomes twoyear-old male lion “Doc”
Animal care staff at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo recently welcomed a new resident to the African Savanna
exhibit. “Doc,” a two-yearold male African lion, made
the journey from the
Caldwell Zoo in Tyler,
Texas and arrived safely in
December.
“We are very excited to
welcome Doc to the Zoo’s
African Savanna,” said Executive Director of Cleveland Metroparks Zoo Christopher Kuhar. “Doc is a
great addition to the pride.
We are planning to exhibit
him in the next few weeks.”
Following his arrival,
Doc spent a routine 30 days
in quarantine at the Sarah
Allison Steffee Center for
Zoological Medicine and
was given a thorough physical examination. Recently,
he was transferred
to the lion building and has begun
his introduction
to the Zoo’s two
female lions,
Serena and Nala.
Doc was born
on January 22,
2014 at the
Caldwell Zoo in
Tyler, Texas to a
litter of four with three sisters, Zuri, Amira, and Malika.
Doc’s parents and sisters currently all reside at the
Caldwell Zoo; Doc was
moved to avoid conflict with
his father, Ayotunde.
As an adolescent male,
Doc does not have his full
mane yet. As Doc matures,
his mane will continue to
grow larger and become
darker in color. Primarily
found in the protected grass-
l a n d s
south of
the Sahara
Desert and
in parts of
southern
and eastern Africa,
lions have
a life expectancy
of 14 years
in the wild and can live up
to 20 years in zoos. They are
classified as “vulnerable”
in the wild by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).
Northeast Ohio’s mostvisited year-round attraction,
Cleveland Metroparks Zoo
is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
Parking is free. Located at
3900 Wildlife Way, the Zoo
is easily accessible from
