    The article says it may just be an interesting phenomenon. I found it interesting that the article pointed out that physical activity significantly reduces the infectious burden and cognitive decline, where if children stay physically active and maintain proper vaccination, it may decline the presence of cognitive decline.

    It is amazing that in less than a month this new strain has spread to over 100. So far it has only effected China, but I wonder when another country will report a case.

    A new filter made of two bacterial proteins was able to absorb 64% of antibiotics in surface water compared to about 40% absorbed by the currently used filtering technology made of activated carbon. The captured antibiotics can also be harvested from the proteins.

    Pandemics have spread throughout the world since man has walked the Earth. If we can stop a pandemic before it even starts that could be a huge breakthrough. With early detection easier than ever, this possible. With smallpox already eradicated and polio and guinea worm on its way, we have taken big steps to fight pandemics. In the next few years who knows what other major viruses we could eradicate.

  • Dentist's former patient: How could you? "This is a complex investigation," state epidemiologist Kristy Bradley said in the statement. "The next phase will include more in-depth interviews of persons who test positive to determine the likelihood that their exposure is associated with their dental surgical procedure at the Harrington practice. We will certainly continue to keep the public informed as we learn more." Mor

    More information about superbugs summarizing how they become resistant to antibiotics, the new classes of antibiotics created to combat them, and what we can do to prevent antibiotic resistance. In the article it listed 12 steps to prevent antibiotic resistance, where it stresses the importance of vaccinations, timely diagnosis, limiting the antibiotics being used, and "breaking the chain" (staying at home when your sick, and washing your hands).

    It is amazing that twitter is becoming a way for the WHO to inform people if it starts tweeting accurate information. Most time flu's seem to be either over exaggerated by media and many people do not know how to interpret a lot of the information that is being given out by places like the CDC and WHO, causing people to panic.

  • Also, Protein Sciences Corp. of Meriden, Conn., landed a five-year, $147 million contract to develop a vaccine using its recombinant technology — flu proteins grown in insect cells. The hope is that the first doses would be available within 12 weeks of the beginning of a pandemic. That is about twice as fast as flu vaccine produced from eggs.

  • "We've been baking this bread for 60 years, and we're pretty good at it, buddy," said Kenneth Alexander, an infectious disease expert at the University of Chicago.
  • "I continue to be amazed that people bring this issue up," said Paul Offit, a pediatrician and noted University of Pennsylvania vaccine researcher. "There have been six exhaustive studies (of a possible link between thimerosal and autism). ... They each came back with a definitive answer: No. Three other studies were done to see if thimerosal caused any signs of mercury poisoning. All three answered: No."
