Dr. Schnell and his team have developed a vaccine that activates the immune system to produce large amounts of antibodies against three virus strains
Already Dr. Schnell's group has developed the vaccine which showed good protection in nonhuman primates against the Zaire Ebola virus.
Although the current timeline would have the shots ready for trials in two to three years Dr. Schnell says that a vaccine could be ready in six to ten months
In order to address this issue Dr. Schnell is working with another company with a novel method of producing antibodies en masse.
Together with SAB Dr. Schnell is applying for a grant that would allow the team to vaccinate the cows with his vaccine in order to produce large quantities of antibodies specific for the three viral strains.
If money were no object we could have the first batch of serum ready for human testing in four to six months says Dr. Schnell.

Dr. Sievenpiper said that despite their known health benefits only 13 per cent of Canadians eat pulses on any given day
Dr. Sievenpiper noted that 90 per cent of weight loss interventions fail resulting in weight regain
Dr. Sievenpiper said another bonus from eating pulses is that they are Canadian crops. That means eating local being more sustainable
Dr. Sievenpiper's systematic review and meta-analysis included nine clinical trials involving 126 participants out of more than 2000 papers screened.

Senior Research Scientist Dr Alan Little and team have discovered the composition of special growths on the cell walls of barley plants that block the penetration of the fungus into the leaf.
Powdery mildew is a significant problem wherever barley is grown around the world says Dr Little. Growers with infected crops can expect up to 25%reductions in yield
Powdery mildew feeds on the living plant says Dr Little. The fungus spore lands on the leaf and sends out a tubelike structure
We can now use this knowledge find ways of increasing these polysaccharides in barley plants to produce more resistant lines available for growers says Dr Little.

#Food imagery ideal for teaching doctors--but they must have strong stomachsfrom'beer belly'to'port wine stain'food imagery has a long history of being used in medicine to identify the diagnostic features of a wide range of conditions
The helpful visual and diagnostic clues it provides are ideal for enhancing doctors'understanding of disease
or perhaps the fact that many medical practitioners are forced to grab their meals on the job. But doctors must have strong stomachs she says.
It is a wonder that in the midst of the smells and sights of human affliction a physician has the stomach to think of food at all she suggests.
But she adds: Whatever the genesis these time honored allusions have been and will continue to be a lively learning inducement for generations of budding physicians.

Dr Fiona Clissold who led the study explains why temperature has such a large influence on insect diets.
Dr Clissold adds Being small insects can take advantage of the multitude of microclimates available. As mammals are warm-blooded animals that maintain a constant body temperature it is unlikely that temperature overtly affects the nutrient quality of their diets.

Species like sycamore maple and Douglas fir (both commonly found in cities) produced organic compounds which combined with high levels of ground level ozone during the summer heightened the concentration of ground level ozone says Dr Tiwary.
In the future city planners should look into the species of vegetation they plant in green spaces says Dr Tiwary.

The study examined the State of New york's Eat Well Play Hard in Child care Settings nutrition-education program administered by registered dietitian nutritionists in low-income child care settings.
As part of the program registered dietitian nutritionists provided nutrition education to both children and parents during a six-to ten-week period.
Nutritionists also provided training sessions to child care center staff about identifying areas of policy needed to improve nutrition at the center and how to incorporate messages about nutrition into the classroom.
and Immunology the scientific publication of the American College of Allergy Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) there is increased anxiety and strain for caregivers of children allergic to milk and eggs.
The study examined 305 caregivers of children allergic to milk egg peanut or tree nut--the 4 most common food allergies.
The caregivers were asked about details of the children's most severe food reaction as well as information about the caregiver's quality of life.
Researchers found caregivers who understood their child's reaction to offending foods had a higher quality of life.
and egg allergies were the most worrisome for caregivers. It's assumed peanut and tree allergies are the most severe
and therefore it may be presumed they would cause the most strain for caregivers said allergist Laura Howe MD lead study author and ACAAI member.
and to prepare so many dishes caregivers with children allergic to those two ingredients feel more worried and anxious.
Only 64 percent of caregivers accurately perceived the severity of their child's reaction. More than 15 percent over-perceived their child's reaction severity
Caregivers had significant concerns regarding their ability to help in the event of a reaction
and their caregivers need to know how to administer epinephrine. Having plans in place can ease a parent's worries.

During the most recent major outbreak the autumnal moth struck first continues Dr Jepsen. In the most severely defoliated areas an outbreak of the winter moth occurred a year or two later.
and after the outbreak and across a range of outbreak severities and found that dense birch forests survive far better than sparse ones says Dr Jepsen.
The small rodents such as voles and lemmings benefit from this says Dr Jepsen while it appears that reindeer use the heavily defoliated areas less.
We believe this may be increased related to pressure on the forest in certain areas explains Dr Jepsen.

Funded by the Australian Research Council (ARC) and led by Dr Stefan Salentinig and Professor Ben Boyd from the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences (MIPS) the team looked at the nanostructure of milk to find out how its components interact with the human digestive system.
Dr Salentinig said the research provides a blueprint for the development of new milk products.
We could even harness milk's ability as a'carrier'to develop new forms of drug delivery Dr Salentinig said.
Dr Salentinig said the structure is similar to a sponge potentially enhancing the absorption of milk's healthy fats.

Dr. David Jenkins head of the hospital's Clinical Nutrition and Risk Factor Modification Centre compared people with Type 2 diabetes who ate either a low glycemic index diet that included bread made with canola oil
Dr. Jenkins who is a professor of both nutritional sciences and medicine at the University of Toronto said the reduction in LDL cholesterol observed in his study of 141 people could translate into a 7 per cent reduction in cardiovascular events.
Dr. Jenkins said another interesting finding of the study was that patients on the whole wheat diet seemed to have better blood flow after 12 weeks than those on the canola bread diet as measured by the Endopat test that uses a cuff on the arm similar to a blood pressure test.
Dr. Jenkins and his colleagues developed the concept of the glycemic index in the early 1980s as a way of explaining how different carbohydrates affect blood glucose
Dr. Jenkins said the combination of a low GI diet supplemented with canola oil had not been tested before on people with Type 2 diabetes.*
