GAPS AND INCONSISTENCIES IN THE CURRENT KNOWLEDGE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF BIOSAFETY AND BIOSECURITY PRACTICES FOR RICKETTSIAL PATHOGENS

Gaps and inconsistencies in the current knowledge and implementation of biosafety and biosecurity practices for rickettsial pathogens

Abstract Introduction Rickettsia spp.and Orientia spp.are the causes of neglected infections that can lead to severe febrile and systemic illnesses in humans.Implementing proper biosafety practices when handling these pathogens is crucial to ensure a safe and sustainable work environment.It is essential to assess the current knowledge and identify

First-in-human demonstration of floating EMG sensors and stimulators wirelessly powered and operated by volume conduction

Abstract Background Recently we reported the design and evaluation of floating semi-implantable devices that receive power from and bidirectionally communicate with an external system using coupling by volume conduction.The approach, of which the semi-implantable devices are proof-of-concept prototypes, may overcome some limitations presented by ex

The Aesthetics of DADA, a game of chance?

Throughout history, for the new to emerge, there must be a challenge to the old order of a world that seeks to be abolished.It is the law of continuity which, paradoxically, is meant PEPPERMINT to function periodically through rupture.The obsession with breaking the present from the similarities of the past generates new spiritual identities, manif

Historic Influenza Perspectives on an Influenza Pandemic

Before discussing the issues related to influenza pandemics, it is necessity to understand the Rubber Doormat mechanisms that underlie the variability, of the virus.The influenza virus, like most RNA viruses, is genetically highly variable and this variability gives rise to a constant changing of the antigenicity of the virus.This, in itself, is no
