Description
İklim Eylemi İklim değişikliği ve etkileri ile mücadele için acilen eyleme geçmek. Dünya üzerinde iklim değişikliğinin ağır etkilerini bizzat yaşamayan tek ülke yoktur. Sera gazı emisyonları atmaya devam ediyor ve şu anda, 1990 yılındaki düzeye göre %50 artmış durumdadır. Doğu Avrupa ve Orta Asya, büyük sera gazı emisyonu üreticileri değiller; ancak iklim değişikliğinin sonuçlarından orantısız biçimde zarar görüyorlar. Küresel ısınma, insanların hayatını ciddi ölçüde etkiliyor. Hemen şimdi harekete geçmeliyiz.

    Crimean–Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a viral infection associated with a high mortality rate. Ribavirin is the only drug used in the treatment of this disease. Studies investigating the effectiveness of ribavirin in CCHF have been retrospective and to date have included only a small number of cases. In recent years, due to climate changes, the number of cases of CCHF in Turkey has increased, and experience in the treatment of CCHF has improved. Several studies have evaluated the efficacy of ribavirin in Turkey, including one randomized controlled trial and two studies with a large number of cases. In these studies, ribavirin therapy was not shown to decrease mortality rates; the mortality rate was 2–9% in patients treated with ribavirin and 5.6–11% in those who were not treated with this drug. These findings suggest that patients with CCHF should be followed with supportive care only until randomized controlled trials with larger groups have been conducted.
