PROBLEM: Paragraph: People who became ill attended the private function Nov. 24 at the Puritan Backroom conference center in Manchester, the state Department of Health and Human Services said Friday. One person later died, but it was unclear if the death was related to the norovirus outbreak, the department said. The restaurant is co-owned by U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas and is famous for its chicken tenders. It has been in his family for more than a century and is a frequent stop for presidential candidates of both parties. The nature of the event was not released, but it didn’t appear that any current presidential candidates attended. The manager of the Puritan Backroom, Erik Zink, said in a written statement that the restaurant’s top priorities are promoting health and excellent food safety and that he was confident it was doing everything possible to maintain those practices. Zink also said the restaurant had reached out to the family of the person who died to express “our condolences” for the death, which he blamed on unidentified causes. After the outbreak, the Manchester Health Department conducted an inspection of the restaurant. Officials determined there was no ongoing norovirus risk to the public. The symptoms of norovirus include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea and stomach pain, health officials said. The state sees 50 to 75 norovirus outbreaks every year. Claim: 18 sickened at popular New Hampshire primary campaign stop.

SOLUTION: A norovirus sickened 18 people after a private function last month at a restaurant co-owned by a Democratic congressman that is popular with presidential candidates campaigning in the New Hampshire primary, state health officials said.

PROBLEM: Paragraph: This study was published in December, 2007 in        the Journal of Environmental Health. It was co-authored by Anne        LaGrange Loving and John Perz. The authors collected 76 lemon slices from 21 restaurants on 43 visits in        Patterson, New Jersey. They swabbed both the lemon slice and the        glass on which the slice had been placed and immediately after the glass        had been brought to them. The result was that they found        contamination on both the flesh and the rind of most of the lemon wedges,        although they did not research how it got there. Some of it could        have arrived with the fruit from the field, some of it could have been        through contamination from the hands of employees. Some of it could        have been from contaminated work surfaces. The U.S. Food and Drug        Administration conducted a study in 2004 of both fast food and full        service restaurants. The conclusion was that there was poor personal        hygiene on the part of employees at 31 percent of the fast food        restaurants and more than 41 percent of the full service restaurants. Comments Claim:  The forwarded email appears to be an article        featuring the findings of microbiologist Anne LaGrange Loving who found        that two-thirds of the lemons tested from 21 restaurants were contaminated        with bacteria when added as slices to beverages.   

SOLUTION: Contaminated Lemon Slices in Restaurants 

PROBLEM: Paragraph: Published in the online version of The Lancet Neurology,  the study suggests that cilostazol could be a safer alternative  to aspirin for post-stroke Chinese patients, who seem to be at  higher risk of cerebral hemorrhage, according to previous  studies. Anti-platelet drugs have an “anti-clotting” effect and  long-term, low doses may prevent heart attacks and blood clot  formation in people at high risk for developing blood clots. In the study, 719 patients around the age of 60 were  divided into two groups, with the first given cilostazol and  the second given aspirin for 12 to 18 months. Twelve patients in the cilostazol group suffered subsequent  stroke, compared to 20 people in the aspirin group. Brain bleeding was detected in 1 patient in the cilostazol  group versus 7 in the aspirin group. While the researchers said cilostazol appeared to be more  effective and a safer alternative to aspirin for Chinese  patients, they called for a larger clinical trial. Manufactured by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Co., cilostazol is  known by its brand name Pletal. Stroke is the second leading cause of death in China, with  about 7 million people affected in the country. Claim: Cilostazol found may be safer than aspirin post-stroke.

SOLUTION:
The anti-platelet drug cilostazol is as  effective as aspirin at preventing recurrent stroke and appears  to be linked to fewer bleeding events, a study in China has  shown.
