A growing number of studies over the last two or so years has highlighted the power of dogs in detecting the […]
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2023 — “Back-to-school” season means buying pens and paper, figuring out the new bus route, and … earaches. Doctors typically treat these infections with antibiotics, but children don’t always complete the full course, accelerating resistance to these medications. Today, researchers report developing a single-use nanoscale system that’s unlikely to generate resistance. […]

Professor Kwasi Torpey, Dean, School of Public Health, University of Ghana, has called on African countries to aggressively cut down on HIV new infections to meet the United Nations’ 2023 HIV/AIDS target. The target is to get the diagnoses of 95 per cent of all HIV-positive individuals, provide antiretroviral therapy (ART) for 95 per cent […]
Three Salmonella outbreaks in Austria have been linked to chicken meat from Poland. A total of 27 people have fallen sick and one has died in the trio of Salmonella Enteritidis incidents. Investigation of the outbreaks is being carried out by the Austrian Agency for Health and Food Safety (AGES), the Ministry of Health and […]

The World Health Organization’s (WHO) weekly update on the global COVID-19 pandemic found that in the last four weeks, there was an 80 percent rise in infections with 1.5 million new COVID-19 cases reported. Most of these cases come from South Korea, which is an outlier, not so much in the intensity of the pandemic, as […]
Hospital officials are urging discretion after a renewed surge of Covid-19 infections on the Island. The Martha’s Vineyard Hospital held a press conference Tuesday about the rising case numbers, which officials say mirror the wave seen statewide. The hospital has seen 43 patients with Covid in the past month, chief nursing operations officer Claire Seguin […]
Abstract In the course of our observations of the transmission of COVID-19 around the world, we perceived substantial concern about imported cases versus cases of local transmission. This study, therefore, tries to isolate cases due to local transmission (also called community spread) from those due to externally introduced COVID-19 infection, which can be key to […]
