DAMASCUS Larry Ogunjobi Youth Jersey , Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- The Islamic State (IS) group said it had taken two Russian soldiers in the countryside of Syria's eastern province of Deir al-Zour, the group's Amaq news agency reported on Thursday.
The IS abducted two Russian soldiers and a Syrian soldier in the town of Sholah in the western desert of Deir al-Zour, Amaq reported.
There has been no response yet from Damascus or Moscow about the kidnapping.
If the abduction was true, it would be the first time Russian soldiers were kidnapped in Syria since the Russian forces intervened to aid the government forces of President Bashar al-Assad in late 2015.
The road from Damascus to Deir al-Zour stretches through the desert region in the remote eastern countryside of Homs province in central Syria all the way to reach Sholah and Kabajeb in the countryside of Deir al-Zour before entering the city.
The Syrian forces and its allies captured Sholah earlier this month when they broke the IS's three-year siege on Deir al-Zour capital city, and cleared the main road to the city.
Several checkpoints are set up across the road David Njoku Youth Jersey , which is surrounded by large swathes of desert, which makes it easy for IS militants to sneak in, particularly when the sun falls.
When Xinhua reporters visited Deir al-Zour last week, Russian military convoys were seen on the road, bringing in supplies and military gears.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Thursday the Syrian army with the help of the Russians are tightening the noose on IS militants in Deir al-Zour Jabrill Peppers Youth Jersey , which was regarded as the most important stronghold for IS due to its proximity to IS-held areas in neighboring Iraq and its richness in oil and gas fields.

Legionnaires’ disease is a pneumonia type disease caused by the Gram -ve micro organism Legionella pneumophila. The sickness acquired its name in July 1976 when an outbreak of pneumonia occurred amongst a number of people attending a convention of the United States Legion. The causative agent was later on identified as a previously unidentified bacterium, which was subsequently named Legionella. Cases of Legionnaires Diseaseobtain considerable media attention as the illness commonly occurs as isolated cases not linked to any recognised outbreak . The fatality rate of Legionnaires’ disease varies and has ranged from 5% to 30% throughout prior outbreaks and most microbial infections arise in individuals who are middle-age or older. Men are statistically far more vulnerable than females and people with lowered immune response like diabetics, oncology sufferers and people who smoke are also at higher risk of contracting the sickness. Individuals with Legionnaires’ disease normally have fever Myles Garrett Youth Jersey , chills, and a cough, that is usually dry and non-productive. Patients may additionally complain of muscle aches, headaches, tiredness Baker Mayfield Youth Jersey , loss of appetite, reduction of coordination, and occasionally diarrhea and vomiting. Upper body X-rays will normally show pneumonia with bi-basal consolidation. It is tough to differentiate Legionnaires’ disease from other kinds of pneumonia by symptoms or x-ray findings alone and other tests are required for a confirmed diagnosis. Legionellosis infection commonly occurs after inhaling an aerosol (a suspension of fine water particles in the air) consisting of Legionella bacteria. Such particles might originate from any infected water source. When mechanised motion breaks the surface of the water, small water droplets are formed, that evaporate really quickly. If these droplets contain micro organisms Antonio Callaway Youth Jersey , the micro organism cells stay suspended in the air, invisible to the bare eye and small enough to be inhaled into the lungs. Potential sources of such contaminated water include cooling towers employed in industrial cooling water systems as well as in large central air conditioning systems, evaporative coolers, hot water systems, showers Chad Thomas Youth Jersey , windshield washers, whirlpool spas, architectural water features, room-air humidifiers, ice making machines Austin Corbett Youth Jersey , misting equipment and related equipment. The disease may also be transmitted from contaminated aerosols produced in hot tubs if the disinfection and upkeep plan is not carried out rigorously. The illness is especially linked with hotels, fountains, cruise ships and hospitals with old, inadequately maintained pipework and cooling systems. In order to prevent the distribution of Legionella bacteria it is critical to carry out Legionella risk assessments . This will assess the potentialfor a water system to harbour the bacteria and also describe how to minimise the release of the micro organism in aerosols from the system. By doing a Legionella risk assessment a Legionella control program can be carried out to prevent the spread of the sickness.
Although Legionnaire’s Disease can be fatal it can be safely regulated through the application of a legionella risk assessment and constant legionella control.
