FDA Finds Traces of Bird Flu in Milk, but Public Risk Remains Low
The Risk of Bird Flu in Milk: Is It Truly a Concern?
Federal officials sought to quell public concerns after the announcement that traces of bird flu were detected in commercially available milk. Despite the ongoing outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) among dairy cows, experts assert that there is currently no evidence of infectious virus in pasteurized milk. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) assures consumers that the risk to their health remains low.
Jeanne Marrazzo, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, explained that tests conducted on retail milk did reveal genetic material from the virus. However, efforts to grow the virus from these samples indicated that it was no longer infectious or “alive.” The FDA reiterated this assessment, stating they have seen nothing to suggest any safety concerns regarding commercial milk supply.

Pasteurization has been used for decades to kill harmful

Lifelong vaccination brings multiple benefits

Against the background of an increasingly aging population, vaccination programs for adults would be important so that vaccinations can develop their valuable prevention potential.
Vaccinations are a cornerstone of global healthcare. With their help, infectious diseases can be prevented and their course can be significantly mitigated. This means that health risks can be minimized, often for a lifetime. Active vaccination protection is important not only for children, but also for adults, because as we get older, the protective ability of our own immune system decreases and the risk of certain diseases increases.
Mag. Alexander Herzog, Secretary General of PHARMIG
Vienna (OTS) – On the occasion of the current World Immunization Week, PHARMIG Secretary General Alexander Herzog appeals to rely on the effective protection of vaccinations and not to forego them: “Vaccinations are a cornerstone of global healthcare.

World Immunization Week from 24 to 30 April. For the prevention of transmissible diseases there are two other fundamental tools: monoclonal antibodies and breast-feeding
Vaccinating your child is a gesture of generosity towards the little one, but also towards the world population, because achieving herd immunity is essential to guarantee public health and defend the fragile, who cannot be vaccinated. This year the global vaccination programs of the World Health Organization (“Expanded program on immunization”), which began in 1974, turn fifty and have now extended to all countries in the world. And, thanks to this program, the number of diseases preventable with vaccinations has gone from 6 to 20. Unfortunately, however, the differences between countries and continents continue to be significant and serious: in some nations vaccination coverage is over 90%, but more than one million children around the world do not have access to vaccination programs. It is with this data that World Immunization Week 2024 opens, running from 24 to 30 April, which aims to remember the importance of vaccinations: it does so with a special title, “Humanly possible”. because every individual effort can make a difference.

The Hubble Space Telescope Discovers Over 1,000 Asteroids in Latest Astronomical Breakthrough
The Hubble Space Telescope is still making astronomical discoveries after more than 30 years of operation. He also accidentally discovered more than 1,000 asteroids.
With the help of astronomers from the European Space Agency / ESA (European Space Agency) and several machine learning algorithms, new samples of more than a thousand asteroids were identified in the Hubble archive data.
The method used represents a new approach to finding objects in decades old data that can be applied to other data sets as well.
The research team was led by Pablo García-Martín, a researcher at the Department of Theoretical Physics at the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM).
They include members from ESA, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Astronomy Institute of the Romanian Academy, University of Craiova, Université Côte d’Azur, and Bastion Technolo
