Mark Kendall earned the Young Florey Medal in 2016 for developing a breakthrough in vaccines. So, what did the professor at the University of Queensland invent? The Nanopatch.
Kendall’s work drew the attention of the CDC and the World Health Organization. Now the professor is working with Vaxxas and the school’s Institute for Bio engineering and Nanotechnology to get the patch ready for the public.
No matter where you are traveling you run the risk of valuables being lost or stolen.
Luckily, you aren’t helpless to these unfortunate situations. By being a bit cautious, there’s no reason you should return home with less items than when you left.
You may have heard of “combination” vaccines. These immunizations protect against more than one disease or virus. But, what exactly are they? How do they work?
Children receive vaccines from infancy to protect them from various diseases. Many of these infections could be fatal to them due to their growing immune system.
These routine shots can be hard on children and parents. The frequent trips to the hospital and many rounds of shots can quickly create frustration with the whole process. To combat this fatigue, most doctors recommend getting more than one shot per visit.
For the past 11 years, the World Economic Forum has put together a list of the safest countries in the world to visit. These countries made it to the top five in 2017. This is based on a variety of factors including growth, policy, and security.
Viral outbreaks are one of the most dangerous natural disasters that humans face. Scientists use disease information to predict when these outbreaks are going to start. New technology and methods make this a greater possibility.
A breakthrough in this process occurred last year with a new partnership. The New York University Tandon School of Engineering and the Polytechnic University of Turin worked together on outbreak management. The two schools created a model to better use vaccine strategies during an outbreak. The model will show the effectiveness of disease prevention.
