Image
US persecutors have charged three Eastern Europeans with various counts for creating and distributing a virus called Gozi that infected over a million computers around the globe. All the three men, viz. Nikita Kuzmin, Mihai Paunescu and Deniss Calovskis, are in their 20s. The Gozi virus was used to infect computer, and steal people's personal bankinformation and then steal millions of dollars between 2005 and 2011. According to the US government investigators, Kuzmin and his co-defenders pocketed at least $50 million (around £32 million) in illegal profits using the Gozi virus. The US prosecutors said, "The suspects - a Russian, a Latvian and a Romanian - ran a "modern-day bank robbery ring that required neither a gun nor a mask." Twenty-five-year-old Kuzmin is a Russian national. He had pleaded guilty to the charges in May 2011. Romania's 28-year-old Mihai Ionut Paunescu and Latvia's 27-year-old Deniss Calovskis have also be...

New blood test to detect Alzheimer’s & cancer

A blood test that is used for antibodies which is a protein produced by the immune system may soon be used to detect Alzheimer’s and other diseases including some forms of cancer. Detecting the Alzheimer's via antibodies would be a simpler and less invasive method of diagnosing the disease. Typically, in developing blood test for diseases, researchers searched for antigens that are a protein secreted from a virus, bacteria, from some cancerous cells or in neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s that set off an immune response.  Only after identifying the antigen, the researchers would be able to search for antibodies or trace the signs that the immune system that has picked up and mounted a response. In Alzheimer's, or in a disease such as cancer, there is quite difficult to find out the antigens.  But researchers are doing ‘high throughput’ screening using thousands of synthetic molecules known as peptoids that could be bind with the antibodies.  The synt...

Nurses Providing Vaccines to Their Family and Friends

Image
A controversy of preferential immunization has been making rounds. Public health nurses in Edmonton were found to provide vaccines to their family and friends, even at high demand from public. Vaccine for H1N1 was not given to people lined up outside the clinics. Inquiry which was conducted said nurses during shortage of the vaccine gave shots to their family and friends.Susan Smith, public health nurse, said in a period of shortage and high demand, she gave shots to 15 people. She did say that those people were most probably known people of the staff. When asked by inquiry counsel Ellen Embury, whether she found her work unfair, she supported her dealings.With shell-life of 24 hours, she said that she could not let this resource wasted. Even a recheck of the policy of public hospitals does not say anything about the rules for nurses. They have not been prohibited from vaccinating their family and no rule that speaks of the left over doses. When asked why the dose was not pr...
