Fehler in der Belüftung des Operationssaals erhöht COVID-19 Risiko

Die in der Zeitschrift Life Journal veröffentlichte Studie „Ventilation-Based Strategy to Manage Intraoperative Aerosol Viral Transmission in the Era of SARS-CoV-2“ begann mitten in der Pandemie, um die Effizienz von Beatmungssystemen in Operationssälen zu bestimmen, in denen ein COVID-19-Virus diagnostiziert wurde Dabei wurde ein positiver Patient behandelt. In Zusammenarbeit mit Chirurgen der Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi nutzte das NYUAD-Forschungsteam unter der Leitung von Mohammad Qasaimeh, Direktor des Advanced Microfluidics and Microdevices Laboratory (AMMLab) der Universität, experimentelle und rechnergestützte technische Werkzeuge, um den Luftstrom in aktiven Operationssälen zu untersuchen. Die Übertragung luftübertragener Keime von Patienten auf Operationsteams ist ein großes Problem, das während der COVID-19-Pandemie noch verschärft wurde, als weltweit Millionen von geplanten Operationen aus Sicherheitsgründen abgesagt oder verschoben wurden. Beatmungssysteme dienen in erster Linie dazu, Patienten vor Luftverschmutzung und Infektionen der Operationsstelle zu schützen, indem sie die Luft aus dem…

Blockchain technology balances privacy with regulatory compliance

Blockchain’s inherent transparency, while beneficial for validation and trust, poses significant privacy concerns. Traditional transactions on public blockchains are permanently visible, compromising user privacy. This visibility has been a double-edged sword, providing transparency but at the cost of personal data exposure. A new protocol called Privacy Pools offers a potential solution to the seemingly contradictory goals of blockchain privacy and regulatory compliance. In a recent study ( doi: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcra.2023.100176 ) published in Blockchain: Research and Applications on 21 February 2023, contributed by Vitalik Buterin (co-founders of Ethereum), Jacob Illum, Matthias Nadler, Fabian Schär, and Ameen Soleimani. The researchers have developed a protocol called „Privacy Pools“ that enhances privacy on blockchain transactions while complying with regulatory standards. This new smart contract-based protocol enables users to prove specific attributes of their transactions without exposing their entire history, maintaining both privacy and transparency.

Des peptides cycliques pour des médicaments moins onéreux

Une équipe de chercheurs de l’Université de Bath a mis au point un nouvel outil pour  le développement de nouveaux traitements pharmaceutiques de manière plus écologique et moins coûteuse. Leur innovation repose sur l’utilisation de protéines cycliques, une approche alternative aux molécules conventionnelles, dans la fabrication de médicaments.  Traditionnellement, les traitements médicamenteux interagissent avec des […] Des peptides cycliques pour des médicaments moins onéreux
