知名慈善家「刈包吉」廖榮吉,多年來在農曆春節前,辦街友宴宴請寒士,義行掀起各界愛心相隨,不過,廖榮吉在上月初感染新冠肺炎後病情加劇,住院治療卻不見起色,在29日病逝,令親友悲痛不已。疾管署表示,新冠疫情目前仍處流行期,如有咳嗽、流鼻水、鼻塞、喉嚨痛等呼吸道症狀,建議先戴口罩到基層診所就醫。尤其提醒,65歲以上長者與氣喘、癌症、糖尿病、慢性腎病等患者,屬於具重症風險因子的族群,要特別當心。

廖榮吉舉辦的街友宴共計有25屆,2013年曾在台北市堤外河濱公園舉辦1千桌,他個人奉獻的金額已增至千萬元以上,直至2020年終因無能力後繼、年事已高而告終止。

疾管署衛教資料說明,雖然新冠病毒感染多為輕症或無症狀,但病程仍有機會發展為中重症,呼籲民眾除做好勤洗手、戴口罩、打疫苗等自我防護外,亦要提高警覺,如有重症警示症狀,務必立刻就醫。民眾如有咳嗽、流鼻水、鼻塞、喉嚨痛等呼吸道症狀,建議先戴口罩到基層診所就醫,由醫師評估是否需進行呼吸道傳染病相關篩檢,及進行後續診斷與治療。

疾管署提醒,具重症風險因子的民眾,包括65歲以上、氣喘、癌症、糖尿病、慢性腎病、心血管疾病、慢性肺疾、慢性肝病、結核病、失能、精神疾病、失智症、肥胖、懷孕或產後6週內,以及影響免疫功能之疾病;吸菸或已戒菸且同時具有其他風險因子者,也屬高風險族群。感染新冠後若出現疑似症狀,應儘速就醫,由醫師評估是否使用抗病毒藥物,以降低併發症及死亡風險。

疾管署指出,民眾感染新冠如為輕症或無症狀,建議盡量在家休息,避免不必要的外出,外出時記得戴口罩;同時應留意自身健康狀況,如出現下列重症警示症狀,包括喘或呼吸困難、持續胸痛或胸悶、意識不清、皮膚/嘴唇或指甲床發青、無法進食/喝水或服藥、過去24小時無尿或尿量顯著減少、收縮壓<90mmHg或無發燒之情形下心跳>100次/分鐘,務必立刻就醫。

People aged 18 and above can accumulate points and redeem them for products after completing designated health examinations and vaccinations. However, people who had undergone health checks before October complained about being disadvantaged by early health check-ups. The Ministry of Health and Welfare responded that this was in line with the "Left, Right, New" publicly funded vaccine schedule.

The new slimming injection CBL-514 induces fat cell apoptosis, and the second phase of human trials showed that visceral fat decreased by 12.01%

CBL-514, a new type of slimming needle developed by a Taiwanese biotechnology company, works by directly inducing fat cell apoptosis, rather than reducing weight through reducing appetite. Phase 2 human trial data showed that the abdominal visceral fat volume of treated patients decreased by an average of 12.01% 4 weeks after the last treatment, while the placebo group increased by 5.68%. The research was published by the University of Alabama at Birmingham and the Kangpei Biotechnology team at the European Association for the Study of Diabetes annual meeting. It has now entered the third phase of trials, and the first results are expected to be announced by the end of 2027.
