This invention by a British student could save millions of lives across the world

A 22-year-old British student has invented a mobile fridge that could save millions of lives across the world.

Will Broadway's "Isobar" has been designed to keep vaccines at the ideal temperature while in transit in developing countries.

And Will doesn't plan to make money from his creation.

His focus is to get it to people who need it, which is why he won't be trying to get a patent.

"I make things every day for people who have everything," Will, an industrial design and technology graduate from Loughborough University, tells Newsbeat.

"I wanted to make something for people who have next to nothing. It should be a basic human right, in my opinion, to have a vaccination.

"I don't think that it should be patented to restrict use."

Handy little fridge now if only some rich physiotherapist to Donate a few mill we mite be able to beat a lot of the outbreaks and vaccinate people with 50% = spoiling bad enough 20% gets stolen let alone spoiling before it get there

Nigeria Faces 'A Famine Unlike Any We Have Ever Seen Anywhere'

Nigeria is on the brink of "a famine unlike any we have ever seen anywhere", according to the United Nations.

Nearly a quarter of a million children in Nigeria's north east are severely malnourished, according to the UN's Assistant Secretary-General Toby Lanzer.

Millions more are thought to be starving in refugee camps that are too dangerous for aid agencies to reach.

DNA confirms cause of 1665 London's Great Plague

DNA testing has for the first time confirmed the identity of the bacteria behind London's Great Plague.

The plague of 1665-1666 was the last major outbreak of bubonic plague in Britain, killing nearly a quarter of London's population.

It's taken a year to confirm initial findings from a suspected Great Plague burial pit during excavation work on the Crossrail site at Liverpool Street.

About 3,500 burials have been uncovered during excavation of the site.

Testing in Germany confirmed the presence of DNA from the Yersinia pestis bacterium - the agent that causes bubonic plague - rather than another pathogen.

Some authors have previously questioned the identity of microbes behind historical outbreaks attributed to plague.

Superbug Source Remains a Mystery

Medical detectives said Friday they are still baffled about how much-feared drug-resistant superbugs infected two people in the U.S. this year, but they have good news: both patients recovered and don't seem to have infected anyone else.

The medical team also reported the fourth known case in the U.S., involving a Connecticut toddler.

Superbug Source Remains a Mystery

Maybe the source is what we eat.
Both humans and livestock are "treated" with antibiotics even they are not sick.
The extensive use of antibiotics worldwide is now the reason that we now have so much of multiresistant bacterias. MRSA, VRE, MRG.
In several parts of the world it is multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, gonorrhea, salmonella and other bacteria that cause diarrhea problems and is now seen as examples of bacteria that soon can not be treated with any antibiotic!

I wouldn't panic about them Janne just make shore you shower with antibactrial soap before you go to have any major procedure at a hospital .

Eating I don't think is a problem , you get salmonella poisoning and you live or you don't so all ways cook meat properly wash ya veggies

Golden Staph and those type of things are all around you it's only a problem in a open wound a bit of Iodine on the wound and ya right with a bit of fresh air usually unless you need stiches

TB mmm not good
Gonorrhea well that one is easy mate Don't let the little head do the thinking :)
and I covered Salmonella

Ah, but those are being banned... Or, at least, the consumer over-the-counter varieties....

At best, they are useless... At worst?? Well... possibility of resistant strains of bacteria with over-use.

http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm378393.htm

FDA wrote:

Triclosan can be found in many places today. It has been added to many consumer products—including clothing, kitchenware, furniture, and toys—to prevent bacterial contamination. Because of that, people’s long-term exposure to triclosan is higher than previously thought, raising concerns about the potential risks associated with the use of this ingredient over a lifetime.

In addition, laboratory studies have raised the possibility that triclosan contributes to making bacteria resistant to antibiotics. Some data shows this resistance may have a significant impact on the effectiveness of medical treatments, such as antibiotics.

The FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) have been closely collaborating on scientific and regulatory issues related to triclosan. This joint effort will help to ensure government-wide consistency in the regulation of this chemical. The two agencies are reviewing the effects of triclosan from two different perspectives.

The EPA regulates the use of triclosan as a pesticide, and is in the process of updating its assessment of the effects of triclosan when it is used in pesticides. The FDA’s focus is on the effects of triclosan when it is used by consumers on a regular basis in hand soaps and body washes. By sharing information, the two agencies will be better able to measure the exposure and effects of triclosan and how these differing uses of triclosan may affect human health.

The EPA reevaluates each pesticide active ingredient every 15 years. The EPA’s Final Work Plan for the triclosan risk assessment can be found in docket EPA-HQ-OPP-2012-0811.

I don't panic. Yet!
The problem is that we all take so much antibiotics.
Ordinated from doctors and also often selfmedicated.
That and eating food from livestock that also take antibiotics.
Soon there are no antibiotics that can cure our diseases.
ALL health organisations are aware of this and sort of start to panic.

For instance, TB will be a bigger killer than cancer in about 2030.
Yes. Only 15 years from now.

Yes Kong they are being banned for everyday use . Your Hospital should supply you with Hospital grade Antibacterial when you go for the orientation and they explain what when how and how long it all takes .

I have been rather peed off with the use of antibacterial in normal soaps for everyday use because the very reason you state Kong resistance .

Self-medicated use of antibiotics? Not in the USA (or at least not legally). They are by Prescription only in the USA... for humans.

Now then, the physicians in the USA do GREATLY over-prescribe them but that is being scaled back, though likely not fast enough.

As to use in animals (livestock), I have never been a fan of that. I have had to take a gun and go put several cows out of their misery when sick. Not fun, but that is the way it should be handled, in my opinion.

In all cases, antibiotics as a preventative should be avoided.

Immigration should not be treated as a political issue, but as a public health issue. Also, logically, so should travel be treated that way.

You want to come (back) in to the country? Quarantine and testing... Quarantine and testing... in ALL cases.

Antibiotics for farm animals I don't have a problem with but I do have a problem when they give steroids and antibiotics & hormones together .

If the antibiotics can help them then I'm fine but it's when we missuse them in the same way as we have done with Humans given them when there was no need to use them that we have a problem .

Kong your way is fine if there nothing that can be done for the animal but that can also be misused and cheaper but that's human nature I guess

I know.
But there are MANY other countries where you can buy antibiotics without prescription.
In Europe for instance Spain.
In South Asian countries where prostitute women eat antibiotics on a daily bases.
Then we have the problem in countries where prescription of antibiotics is high.

Cheaper? CHEAPER?!?!?!?

You have ANY idea how much of a $$ loss it is to put down just ONE bull/cow because of illness or injury? The direct loss can be in the thousands of $. And that is just the direct loss. Indirect losses can be much higher, depending on the bovine animal in question (lost reproduction, etc.).

It is to laugh. Stick to your sheep.

And I am against antibiotic use in farm animals, especially in their feed.

Continuous low-dose administration of antibiotics will lead to development of antibiotic resistance in the bacteria present in the animal.

Some bacteria that infect cattle can also infect humans. Also, bacteria are known to swap genetic material.

So.... In my opinion, antibiotic use on animals *as a preventative* (you know... profit-driven motives...) es no bueno. Doubleplus ungood.

Florida’s Zika undercount hides extent of virus’ spread, experts say

For months, Florida Gov. Rick Scott and state agencies have reported almost daily on the public health crisis posed by the spread of Zika.

From the first three travel-related cases identified in January, to the emergence of local Zika infections in Miami’s Wynwood neighborhood in July, followed by the discovery of mosquitoes infected with the virus in Miami Beach in September, the governor and state officials have vowed to keep Floridians informed so they can prepare.

Florida starts aerial spraying for Zika virus in Miami Beach

MIAMI BEACH, Fla. -- Aerial insecticide spraying to combat mosquitoes carrying the Zika virus started in Miami Beach on Friday.
A plane carrying the insecticide naled released the spray over the targeted area before dawn. The next round is scheduled for 6 a.m. Sunday.

Some residents oppose the spraying, citing the potential for harmful effects. But county officials say the low concentration of naled won’t harm them.

“We are concerned that the naled actually has more of a potential risk of creating the problems we are trying to avert than the actual concern with Zika,” area resident Brik Viera said.

"Super lice" not budging with over-the-counter treatments

In the war against “super lice,” parents appear to be up against a mighty foe -- and it’s one they’d certainly rather never see in the first place.

A new report warns that over-the-counter products have lost much of their effectiveness against the so-called super lice. Prescription products, though, can still get rid of the creepy critters.

Parents should turn to physicians first instead of trying to treat their children themselves with over-the-counter products, said report lead author Dr. Ellen Koch. She’s a dermatologist with the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
