In a new special report, B Medical Systems, a medical cold chain innovator, delves into the fight against the Ebola virus, its impact over the years, and the pivotal role of vaccines. 💉

Article snippet ⬇ 🗣
"In the ongoing battle against infectious diseases, Ebola stands out as one of the most daunting challenges the global health community has faced in recent decades.

Characterised by its high fatality rates and rapid transmission, the Ebola virus has historically plunged entire regions into states of emergency. However, groundbreaking advancements in vaccine development promise not only a means of prevention but also a potential treatment for those already afflicted.

A recent report has shown that an Ebola vaccine can halve the death rate among infected individuals, marking a significant milestone in the fight against this deadly virus."

📢 New research has shown that exposure to fine particulate matter before IVF egg retrieval can reduce the odds of achieving a live birth by almost 40%.

Dr Sebastian Leathersich, lead author of the study, explained, “This is the first study that has used frozen embryo transfer cycles to separately analyse the effects of pollutant exposure during the development of eggs and around the time of embryo transfer and early pregnancy. We could therefore evaluate whether pollution was having an effect on the eggs themselves, or on the early stages of pregnancy.”

Researchers from the University of Helsinki and Stanford University investigated whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) could transform the way depression is treated, especially in patients who do not respond to more traditional methods such as medication.

“Magnetic stimulation is an effective treatment for patients whose depression is not alleviated by medication. However, about half of these patients do not receive significant help from TMS. The biomarker we studied may help predict who will benefit from the therapy. In the future, it may also be possible to tailor the treatment individually,” commented postdoctoral researcher Juha Gogulski from Stanford, University of Helsinki and Aalto University.
