Faster Flu Vaccine
Spraying viral genes
directly through the skin is
a new technique that turns
infinitesimal amounts of DNA
into an effective vaccine.
If approved for use in
humans, the new procedure
could save lives in case of
... > full story
Flu Fighter
Biochemists have developed a
new tool that can identify a
strain of influenza in
hours, instead of the usual
days or weeks, potentially
speeding up the development
of new vaccines. A sample of
the infected patient's nasal

Does Winter Cause The Flu?
Virologists investigating
transmission of the flu
virus found that it is more
likely to spread at colder
temperatures. The dry, cold
conditions pull moisture out
of droplets released by
... > full story
Predicting A Pandemic
Using math and computer
science, engineers created a
model to forecast the
progression of a future
pandemic. They looked at the
way diseases spread to new
people and over distances in
order to prepare for future

Infectious Disease Specialists Design New Rapid Flu Test
New flu tests can diagnose the flu in as little as 30 minutes, to cut down on needless antibiotic use, which can build up resistance and make some infections untreatable by current ... > more -
Biologists Develop Machine To Remove Viruses From Blood
Infectious disease experts designed a machine called the hemopurifier. It works much like a dialysis machine, using thin fibers to capture and remove viruses from the blood it filters. The machine ... > more -
Viral Immunologists Invent Speedy Virus Identification Technique
Chemists and immunologists devised a new rapid system for detecting and identifying viruses. It uses surface enhanced Raman spectroscopy to measure the frequency of near-infrared laser light as it ... > more -
Hematologists Boost Immune Response in Bone-Marrow Transplant Patients
To lessen the impact of chemotherapy on bone marrow cancer patients, hematologists are recruiting the patients' own immune systems to help. White blood cells are extracted before a bone marrow ... > more -
Microbiologists Find Soap and Water Best for Washing Hands, Removing Germs
Microbiologists tested 14 hand-hygiene agents -- everything from soap and alcohol rubs to plain old tap water -- against hardy bacteria and viruses applied to the hands of 62 volunteers. The study ... > more -
Pediatricians Reduce Ear Infections By Vaccinating Children
Infectious disease experts have completed clinical trials on a vaccine designed to eliminate chronic ear infections. The vaccine works on 7 pneumococcal bacterial strains that cause ear infections. ... > more -

Ergonomists Find Kids Too Are at Risk From Repetitive Strain Injuries
Ergonomists say that, even in teens, poor body posture and incorrect positioning of the keyboard, screen, and mouse are contributing to the risk of contracting neck and back pains and even carpal ... > more -
Electrical Engineers Create Test For Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Electrical engineers use multiple wavelengths of light to see through the skin in order to measure the amount of carbon monoxide in the blood. This approach enables first responders and doctors to ... > more -
Veterinarians And Microbiologists Develop Antimicrobial Agent That Works Under Water
Veterinarians added a bioadhesive to an existing antimicrobial agent in order to make it an effective protective agent for aquatic animals such as whales. The adhesive was originally developed to ... > more
