Immunomodulatory Therapies The concept of harnessing the body’s immune response against viral infections has gained traction over the years. Immunomodulatory therapies aim to enhance the immune system’s ability to recognize and eliminate viral pathogens. ...
The advent of mRNA vaccines has revolutionized the field of immunization, offering a rapid and adaptable response to emerging infectious diseases. Central to the production of these vaccines are enzymes, which play crucial roles in the synthesis and modification of mRNA molecules. ...
Every second counts in any emergency, particularly those involving sudden cardiac events. Training in life-saving procedures becomes pivotal in ensuring that a victim has the best chance of survival. Two terms that often surface in discussions about cardiac emergencies are CPR vs. AED training. While both aim at preserving life during cardiac crises, they serve different functions and involve ...
Maryland’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DHMH) aims to promote and improve the health and safety of all Marylanders through disease prevention, access to care, quality management and community engagement. Public Health Services is a division of Maryland’s DHMH. Recently, the Maryland Public Health Services Laboratory moved into a six-story laboratory facility, designed to ...
The combination of this force also helps prevent escape mutants from emerging, thereby avoiding antibody responses. The antibody response of laboratory animals inoculated at key sites to study the mechanism of Nipah virus infection provides important information. The analysis indicates which region of the viral receptor-binding protein is ...
Vaccine monitoring throughout the cold chain until final delivery is essential. Vaccines are a key component in our health care system. One of the most cost-effective and efficient public health strategies is immunization. The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is ...

The end of many disease outbreaks can be directly attributed to the development of their respective vaccines. They have an immense societal contribution, which is why it is crucial that the delivery of vaccines through the cold chain is monitored and ...

Overall, monitoring patients for temperature and corresponding vitals with digital multiparameter monitors during surgical procedures leads to quicker discovery of hypothermia and hyperthermia in surgical patients, allowing for rapid adjustments in the surgical setting rather than an emergency response. Eduardo Miranda is the president of Digicare Animal Health, ...
The subject is complex, marred by uncertainties and tends to evoke emotionally and politically charged responses. How then do we talk about climate change as the global community grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic today? ...
It spells out in black and white the emergency response time the hospital or doctor’s surgery will get if their UPS goes offline. ...
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a frequently used diagnostic imaging modality that may be an alternative to other types of radiologic imaging (e.g., computerized tomography, nuclear medicine imaging). It can detect soft tissue characteristics (e.g., inflammation), and because magnetic resonance (MR) uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images, it does not expose patients to ...
Sudden cardiac death is a serious public health issue throughout the Western world, especially within rural communities that cannot be quickly reached by emergency ambulance services. When a person suffers a cardiac arrest, it is vital to invoke the 'chain of survival' process, involving early access to the emergency services hotline, early CPR, early ...

The expert view on the sets of criteria for assessing the ability of hospitals to participate in emergency response is given. We also studied the awareness and training of medical staff. The results of the studies were taken into account in the last updating of the national emergency action plan for nuclear accident.Keywords: mass casualties, ...
Allocation of pre-hospital EMS (Emergency Medical Service) resources and effectiveness of emergency medical training are critical to patients. ...
The study also reveals that such computationally sophisticated decision support tools are invaluable to emergency managers. The tools provide flexibility to quickly analyse design strategies and decisions, and can generate a feasible regional dispensing plan based on the best estimates and analysis available, and then allow for reconfiguration of various PODs as the event ...
This document describes data collection systems and procedures used by the US Department of Energy Aerial Measuring System (AMS) in response to a radiological emergency. The discussion is split into two parts: (1) those systems used on the fixed-wing aircraft and (2) those systems used on the helicopters. ...
