Since the beginning of February 2006 affected wild birds - mainly swans - have been recorded, since the beginning of February 2006, in 14 European countries, without involvement of domestic poultry (Austria, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Sweden & Switzerland). In France, a commercial turkey farm, adjacent to a site where infected swans were located, has also been found infected. Other countries like Albania, Azerbaijan, China, Egypt, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Niger, Russia and Romania have poultry affected with the virus.

Authors: Bonello, J. G. P. Abstract: "Ever time you brush our teeth; every time you fill our petrol tank; every time you shop at the supermarket virtually every time that you spend money - somebody is making money. Why not share in the profits they make off you?" That sentence was the injection of my passion for equities 40 years ago.

Many also suffer from coexisting anxiety which may overshadow the depression. One should exclude other psychiatric conditions such as obsessive compulsive disorder, schizophrenia or personality disorder. Endocrine disturbances and occult carcinomas are notorious for initially presenting with depression. Patients with psycho active substance abuse are often depressed. Although many patients complain of a miserable mood, others may only complain of apathy, loss of interest and enjoyment, reduced energy, which in turn causes tiredness, reduced activity and withdrawal. With some patients the main problems are reduced attention, concentration and consequent memory difficulties. Others have ideas of guilt, worthlessness and lowered self esteem. Several patients also complain of obsessive thoughts and behaviours. Wed, 01 Mar 2006 00:00:00 GMT https://www.um.edu.mt/library/oar/handle/123456789/44362 2006-03-01T00:00:00Z
