Subject: Information about mumps
Submitter: Ann L Garvey, Dean of Students, Academic and Student Affairs

Message: Upper midwest health agencies continue to receive reports about cases of mumps. The following information comes from the Minnesota Department of Health Website:

What is mumps?
Mumps is a viral infection that primarily affects the parotid or other salivary glands.

What are the symptoms of mumps?
Most common symptoms include swollen glands in front of and below the ear, headache, low-grade fever, and earache.

What are the complications associated with mumps?
Up to 30% of all people infected with the mumps virus do not have symptoms. Orchitis (swelling of the testicles) is a common symptom in males after puberty. Rarely, swelling of
the spinal cord and brain (encephalitis) occurs.

How is mumps diagnosed?
Mumps is diagnosed with a blood test specific for mumps antibody. Health care providers will also collect a nose, urine, or throat swab to further test for the virus.

How is mumps spread?
Mumps is spread when a person with mumps sneezes or coughs mumps virus into the air and another person breathes the virus in. Touching droplets from the nose and throat of an infected person also spreads mumps.

How long is a person able to spread mumps?
Mumps can normally be spread 3 days before symptoms appear through about 4 days after. Mumps is most contagious 48 hours before the illness begins.
What can be done to prevent the spread of mumps?

The best way to prevent mumps is to be fully immunized. Persons who have mumps should stay at home for 5 days after onset of swelling so that they do not spread it to others.

Is there a treatment for mumps?
There is no treatment for mumps, only symptom care.

Is there a vaccine for mumps?
Mumps vaccine is contained in the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella). Two doses of the vaccine are needed for long-term protection.

Minnesota state law requires that all children 15 months of age or older, in childcare settings or schools, be vaccinated against mumps or have a legal exemption.

If you have questions or comments , contact idepcweb@health.state.mn.us or call 651-201-5414 (TTY: 651-201-5797) for the MDH Infectious Disease Epidemiology, Prevention and Control Division.

Subject: Colin Irvine's Publication
Submitter: Kathryn Swanson, Professor, English

Message: Associate Professor of English, Colin Irvine, has been published in "Journal of the West", Winter 2006. His article " The Popular Western as Epic: A Bakhtinian Understanding of Time in the American West(ern)" presents the idea that the Western genre shares much with Bakhtin's concept of the epic, in terms of the genre's style, purpose, and content. The perpetuation of the frontier myth presents problematic and false beliefs about the Old West and separates the past from the present real or New West. A copy of this journal is available in the English Department office.
