Mumps
Mumps is a virus infection which typically causes enlargement of the two salivary glands in the cheeks at the angle of the jaw. This gives an appearance rather like a hamster with food in it's cheeks.
Symptoms
Sufferers often have a dry mouth and are feverish with headache and difficulty swallowing. It slowly settles and does not usually cause lasting effects. Sometimes, after puberty, it will cause swollen, tender, inflamed testicles and may later cause subfertility in some of those affected. It may also cause inflammation of the pancreas (pancreatitis) sometimes lead to miscarriage and, very rarely, also, inflammation of the central nervous system eg meningitis , encephalitis or myelitis. Complications Risk
Swollen, painful testicles 1 in 5 older males
Deafness (usually gets partly or completely better) 1 in 25
Pancreatitis 1 in 30
Meningitis / encephalitis 1 in 200 to 5000
Causes
Mumps is caused by a virus known as a myxo virus . It is transmitted mainly by infected saliva although the urine also contains virus particles. The saliva is infectious for approximately six days prior to the onset of swelling of the salivary glands in the cheeks (the parotid glands). The individual may be infectious for up to two weeks after the onset of swelling of the glands, but the peak period of infectivity is from a day or two before the onset of the swelling until very shortly after the swelling begins.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis is usually based on the swelling of the salivary glands in both cheeks (the parotid glands). Various laboratory tests may help with the diagnosis but are usually unnecessary.

Facts About Mumps For Adults
What is mumps?
Mumps is an acute viral disease that is spread from person to person by coughing or sneezing. People who have mumps may spread the infection to others, even when they do not have any symptoms or their illness is mild. Prevention
There is a vaccine to protect against mumps. The vaccine is frequently given to adults as part of a combination vaccine, called the MMR vaccine, that protects against measles, mumps and rubella. There is also a vaccine that protects only against mumps Symptoms
The symptoms of mumps include a low-grade fever and swelling or tenderness of one or more of the salivary glands in the cheeks and under the jaw. Symptoms usually appear between 12 and 25 days after a person has been exposed to the virus. However, about one-third of infected people do not have symptoms. Who should get MMR vaccine?
  • Adults born in 1957 or later who do not have a medical contraindication should receive at least one dose of MMR vaccine, unless they have documentation of vaccination with at least one dose of measles-, rubella-, and mumps-containing vaccine or other acceptable evidence of immunity to these three diseases.
  • College and university students, healthcare personnel non-pregnant women of childbearing age, child care workers such as teachers and day care personnel, and international travelers are at increased risk for measles, and these persons should receive two doses of MMR vaccine to ensure adequate protection

    (Parotitis epidemica) Dr. Petra Kraml
    Dr. Peter Voitl Was ist Mumps?
    Mumps ist eine Infektionskrankheit, die durch ein Virus (Mumps-Virus) verursacht wird. Besonders charakteristisch ist die Schwellung der Speicheldrüsen, vor allem der Ohrspeicheldrüsen. Am häufigsten erkranken Kinder unter 15 Jahren an Mumps. Besonders in städtischen Gebieten kann es in der ersten Jahreshälfte zu Epidemien kommen. Wer einmal an Mumps erkrankte, besitzt einen lebenslangen Schutz. Kinder werden heutzutage routinemäßig gegen Mumps geimpft, dadurch tritt die Erkrankung längst nicht mehr so häufig auf wie früher. Notfallmaßnahmen Wenn Ihr an Mumps erkranktes Kind einen steifen Hals bekommt, schläfrig und teilnahmslos ist, an Übelkeit leidet und erbricht, müssen Sie sofort einen Arzt hinzuziehen. Die Symptome deuten auf eine Hirnhautentzündung hin, die plötzlich ausbrechen und schnell fortschreiten kann. Damit Ihr Kind wieder vollständig gesund wird, muss die Krankheit möglichst schnell diagnostiziert und therapiert werden. Wie wird Mumps übertragen?

    Symptome
    Im Anschluss an die kurze Prodromalphase mit Fieberanstieg, Kopf- und Gliederschmerzen kommt es zur schmerzhaften Schwellung der Ohrspeicheldrüsen und es entstehen die typischen "Hamsterbacken" mit Anhebung der Ohrläppchen. Einseitige Verläufe sind nicht selten (ca.20%). Oft tritt die Schwellung der zweiten Seite auch erst nach 1-3 Tagen auf. Daneben ist eine Mundschleimhautentzündung, wobei die Mündungsstelle des Ausführungsganges der Ohrspeicheldrüse hervortritt, charakteristisch. Die unkomplizierte Erkrankung dauert 5-8 Tage und hinterlässt eine lebenslange Immunität.

    10. The Genesis Of MUMPS And MUG
    The story of the creation of the mumps programming language at The Massachusetts General Hospital, and its development into a procedural, interpreted generalpurpose programming language oriented towards database applications. By Glen Steinbach.
    http://207.224.6.57/mdc/genesis.htm
    The Genesis of MUMPS and MUG
    When Glen Steinbach accepted the position as Chair of the MUMPS Users' Group in 1985, he delivered the text on the following pages as his maiden-speech. I've often seen parts of this reproduced; here is the complete text.
    The Genesis of MUMPS and MUG
    by Glen Steinbach
    In the beginning was the sky, and woods, and COBOL. And Octo Barnett looked out over the lab at Massachusetts General Hospital and said, "I will have a computer system for this lab." And contracts were let and work began. But this was the time of Assembly Language and early COBOL, and the Lab System needed better tools. Three young software shepherds named Pappalardo, Greenes and Marble heard a calling and followed it to the basement of the Hospital. There, in the corner of the animal lab, stood a PDP-7, and the creation of a new software system began. The three shepherds obeyed new and unwritten commandments:
    • Thou shalt not declare variable types or file sizes.
    • Thou shalt not KILL, except for globals and variables.
    • Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's UCI.

    11. MMR Autism Report Summary
    Immunization safety review of the Measlesmumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism. Report commissioned by the National Academies, Institute of Medicine.
    http://www.iom.edu/IOM/IOMHome.nsf/Pages/MMR Autism Summary
    Immunization Safety Review: Measles-Mumps-Rubella Vaccine and Autism Immunization is widely regarded as one of the world's most effective tools for protecting public health. In the United States alone, child-vaccination programs have resulted in the elimination of smallpox and polio and rendered once-common, often debilitating, and potentially life-threatening infectious diseasessuch as diphtheria, pertussis, and measlesexceedingly un common.
    But along with these benefits have come concerns about safety, making some immunization policies a subject of public debate. One such issue is whether or not the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine causes autistic spectrum disorders (ASD), frequently referred to simply as autism.
    The MMR vaccine, which comprises three vaccines given in a single shot, has been extremely successful in virtually eliminating measles, mumps, and rubella in the United States. Measles cases, for example, dropped from over 400,000 per year in the pre-vaccine era to only 100 in 1999. However, these diseases remain a serious threat in other parts of the world where children are not routinely vaccinated. Measles alone resulted in over a million deaths in children around the world last year.
    Some parents and researchers are concerned though that the MMR vaccine might cause ASD. Autistic spectrum disorders are incurable, permanent diseases that result in serious developmental problems in children. Although scientists generally agree that most cases of ASD result from events that occur in the prenatal period or shortly after birth, there is considerable concern because autistic symptoms typically do not emerge until the child's second yearabout the same time the MMR vaccine is first administered. In addition, there are concerns that the introduction of wide-scale use of MMR coincides with an apparent increase in the incidence of autism.

    Importing food, plant, animal products U.S. State Department Pan American Health Organization World Health Organization Mumps Description Mumps is an acute viral disease characterized by fever, swelling, and tenderness of one or more salivary glands, usually the parotid and sometimes the sublingual or submaxillary glands. Occurrence Prior to vaccine licensure in 1967, 100,000 to 200,000 mumps cases are estimated to have occurred in the United States each year. Incidence declined to approximately 5,000 cases per year during the period from 1980 to 1990. Since 1995, fewer than 1,000 cases have been reported annually. The decline since 1995 is believed to be a result of the widespread use of a second dose of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Mumps primarily affects school-aged children. Since 1982, 50% to 80% of reported cases have occurred among those 5 through 19 years of age. Risk for Travelers The risk for exposure to mumps outside the United States can be high. Few countries use mumps vaccine, so mumps remains a common disease in many countries of the world.

    20. NMCWM Exhibits
    Many soldiers had never been exposed to childhood diseases such as small pox, mumps and measles. This lack of immunity caused whole training camps to be under bacterial siege.
    http://www.civilwarmed.org/exhibits.htm
    Exhibits
    In October of 2000, the National Museum of Civil War Medicine completed a 3 million dollar renovation and complete redesign of the exhibits. With nearly 7,000 square feet of exhibit space on two floors, the expanded Museum can better illustrate the medical story of the American Civil War. It is a story of care and healing, courage and devotion amidst the death and destruction of war. It is also a story of major advances that changed medicine forever. Through the dedication, innovation and devotion of Civil War surgeons and medical support staff on both sides of the conflict, the foundation for today's modern military medicine was laid. Their tenacity and compassion to heal stemmed a death rate that could have easily been twice the 620,000. Throughout the exhibits are special blue panels that highlight the military career of Union Private Peleg Bradford. In his own words, Bradford tells us his thoughts on the war, the condition of his regiment and the effect his enlistment had on the family he left behind. Medical School Education
    As the Civil War began, the practice of medicine was emerging from the "heroic era", with its theory of bringing a balance to the humors of the body. Medical practitioners had no knowledge of germ theory or antiseptic practices. Both discoveries were still years away. Over 40 medical schools existed in America before the war, and apprenticeships with established physicians were also common. The usual course of study in a medical school consisted of two terms of six-month lectures, with the second term often being a repeat of the first. Featured objects in this gallery include medical school documents, teaching models, and mid-nineteenth century medical instruments.
